The Brave Master Is the Demon King
Vol 2 Chapter 498: Humble hope
A big victory made the whole army extremely excited. This was one of the few battles won by the Imperial Army. They were very satisfied with this battle.
However, their leader, General Booth couldn't laugh. He looked at the head on the ground and sighed lightly.
He didn't make a bet. It was really not King George, the righteous man, the leader of the Eagle regiment. Judging from the quality of this group of soldiers, he was just a dispensable subordinate. George was weakening the strength of his men, and when he captured the royal city, no one could fight him, and he also saved a lot of effort.
"Retreat now!"
Booth immediately gave the order, and the soldier was a little surprised.
"General, don't we need to clean up the battlefield?"
"No, we don't have that time."
Booth, riding a war horse, immediately led everyone back to the camp and started a new combat meeting.
"The bridge has been blown up. The enemy will definitely not choose to go ashore here. We have to find a way to stop them. Counselor Geha, do you have any suggestions?"
A man much older than Booth stood up, pointed to the map on the table, and said:
"Yes! Except for the Dragon Bridge, the other bridges that can cross the Longquan River are suspension bridges. If the enemy chooses to pass here, it will definitely take several days. So I think the enemy will definitely not come over on these bridges, I I think the most likely one is here."
As he said, he pointed to a place where a sailing boat was painted, which was a sign of the pier.
"Indeed, if you want tens of thousands of people to cross the river quickly, taking a big boat is the fastest way today."
Booth nodded.
But this does not mean that the enemy will not use other methods, such as the sky ship. If the enemy controls the transport airship of the union, Booth and the others can do nothing. After all, they don't have a flying army, and the wizard can't shoot down high-altitude targets.
So he didn't intend to think about this kind of thing. Booth frowned slightly. If there were enough manpower, he could send troops to station all the bridges, but now he can only send people over to destroy all the bridges.
"Well, let's go to the pier to make preparations. At the same time, Mr. Geha, you lead five thousand people to destroy these bridges to prevent the enemy from passing through."
"Yes!!"
"Vice-General Yass, you brought five thousand people to garrison here, although the dragon bridge collapsed, but the foundation is still there. I am worried that the enemy will build a temporary bridge to pass through here."
"Yes! My subordinates swear to stay here!"
Booth nodded.
"Okay, then the meeting will be over."
"Well, General Booth, we can't keep defending. When will the king send troops for reinforcements?"
Just when the others were about to leave, counselor Geha asked suddenly.
Booth froze for a moment, and then solemnly said: "As for the reinforcements, I have sent a messenger to bring this victory back to the city. After knowing the news, I believe the king will definitely send reinforcements. Don't worry."
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The soldiers barely rested long before they heard the gathering horns again.
At this time, Booth quietly came to the place where mortals were imprisoned.
The boy was still tied to the post, his head hung down, as if he was asleep.
As Booth approached, he opened his eyes.
"You are still there."
Ras was surprised when the other party spoke. He was originally wondering why there are so few people guarding him. It turns out that the other party intended to let him go.
Russ frowned. He raised his head and said, "Your plan will fail. There are too many enemies. Even if you can defeat ten, you will be exhausted."
Hearing this, Booth smiled slightly and said: "Then what do you think I should do? Run away?"
"At least you shouldn't die like this for nothing."
"You don't seem to understand."
"what?"
Russ raised his head to look at each other, and he showed a confused expression.
"I am a general."
After the other party said these words, Lars only felt his hand loosened, and the rope tied to him was suddenly untied.
"Let's go, stop participating in the war if you can. I don't want to see you on the battlefield."
As Booth said, he gave the boy a little push, and Lars took a few steps forward, and he turned his head in surprise.
"Hurry up, if you get caught again later, then I won't help you again."
Hearing this, Lars lowered his head, he turned around, swished out, and quickly disappeared into the forest.
"Is it really okay to let him go?"
Just after the boy left, the lieutenant appeared suddenly, and he worried that the boy would pass their news to the Eagles.
Booth disagreed and said, "It's okay, let him go. It doesn't matter if the enemy knows it, maybe it can be delayed for a few days."
...
All the way fast, Liskadi ** rushed to the dock. There is a town on the pier, which is still the territory of the empire, and there are thousands of soldiers stationed there. As soon as General Booth arrived, the lord of the town gave a warm welcome.
"Welcome to all soldiers! Ah, respectable General Booth! It is a pleasure to meet you. Your father and I have met several times before..."
The lord's enthusiasm did not touch everyone, and Booth immediately raised his hand.
"Okay, polite words will be avoided. You should be very clear about the current situation. Next, you need to cooperate with our work~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The other party seems a little embarrassed. The fat lord nodded, and he followed Booth. Next to him, he said: "Yes, Lord General, you are here to defeat the enemy. Our people in the town will definitely support us. Our army and the people will fight the enemy together. Say yes, General. "
Booth's face is a bit bad, he is not good at dealing with this kind of dog skin ointment-like lord, this kind of mostly only speaks some beautiful things, in fact it is of little use.
"We want to requisition all the ships. Please make an announcement immediately to keep everyone away from the Longquan River."
Hearing this, the lord shook his hands desperately and said embarrassingly: "No, General, this is difficult for me. We help over half of Jiangzhen people to live on this river. If we don't let people get close to the river, this is undoubtedly for them. Hungry."
"This situation won't last long, and as long as the granary is opened, these are not problems, are they?"
Booth asked rhetorically.
When he heard the word granary, the lord's heart was shocked, and he smiled bitterly and said: "Yes...Yes, then I will prepare."
Then he took his people away griefly.
Booth did not go to survey the granary, he went directly to the dock, surveyed the terrain, and let the soldiers control the dock and camp directly near the dock.
There are a lot of fishermen at the pier. Of course, almost all of them are supporting a small fishing boat. Booth’s attention is not placed on them, but a branch of the trade union, a chamber of commerce that specializes in transportation.
They have big ships that can transport a lot of goods, and of course they can be used to carry people. This is where Booth worries the most. If the eagles occupy these ships, they can easily cross the river.
But the problem is that this adventurer's union is not part of the Calis Empire. They have an ally with the Empire. Booth has no power to order them to do things. What should he do about it?
