Sitting in the tent, Lu Huajun, smoking a pipe, anxiously waited for news from the front line.
After listening to Kunya's report, Lu Huajun blew out a smoke ring in melancholy. After seeing the clothes Kunya showed him, he frowned.
"This is the hair of the fire-haired cattle that live around the Qinghe volcano. It is mixed with some other textiles. To determine its composition, we have to send it back for a look.
You have defeated many of Rose's elite soldiers. Can you take some clothes from them for research?"
"No problem." Kunka nodded and agreed, "We have already sent someone to do it."
After a moment of silence, Lu Huajun asked, "We lost more than 200 people this time. Is the half-plant tribe member named Potato Thorn okay
The weather is getting colder now, and his combat capability should be reduced. If he is still alive, there is no need to force him to fight. "
"General, he is still alive and well. Thanks to him, the army was not wiped out this time." Kun Ya did not hide his admiration for Yang Yu at all. "From the perspective of combat judgment alone, I think he is on par with the general. As long as he is given enough time, he will be able to take on the responsibility."
"Yeah?"
Hearing Kunya's report, Luhuajun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
“You continue to pay attention to the movements of that group of people, and you don’t need to come back for now.
If there are any changes in plans, I will contact you as soon as possible.
I hope you can overcome all difficulties and eradicate them as much as possible, so that they don't control the war situation.
Umm
Our siege plan has been postponed again.
If you are unable to join up with the second and third troops within a week, you should leave some of your men behind to hold them back, and the rest of you can come and assist in the siege.
I will contact other troops of the Western Fifth Army later and ask them to pay more attention."
After saying that, Luhua Jun continued to let Kunya conduct the investigation, while he walked out of the tent and looked towards Dongwang City standing not far away.
The pitch-black walls were smooth and straight, with heavy artillery hung on them. Although the soldiers from the Rose Empire had physical disabilities, they had no problem operating the heavy artillery. Any force that dared to lay a hand on Dongwang City would be restrained by the terrifying firepower.
Even if a few lucky people climbed up the city wall, it would be difficult for them to defeat the overwhelming majority.
Unless he can get a hundred soldiers as fierce as Yang Yu, otherwise, he will probably only be able to sigh and watch the city fall this year.
Not long after gazing at Dongwang City, a soldier called Luhua Jun into the tent again. A new contact came from the crystal ball, and it was a very special face.
Lu Huajun stubbed out his cigarette completely, which was rare. He put it behind his back, folded his arms and sat at his desk, then spoke:
"Prime Minister, what brings you here?"
The face that emerged on the crystal ball was none other than the country's Prime Minister, Mindarak.
The battle line on the Cerrovomen Plain was far away from the capital, and it was difficult for ordinary magicians to directly contact the capital using communication magic.
It is even more difficult to take the initiative to contact them from the royal capital.
After all, apart from the magicians who could not participate in this war, most of the capable magicians in Wansheng Kingdom were sent to the battlefield, and it was impossible to build a convenient intelligence network like the Rose Empire.
There must be something important that Mindarak is communicating like this.
"General Luhua, it's been a long time since we last met. It's really difficult to talk to you face to face like this." After a simple greeting, Mingdarak didn't intend to beat around the bush and went straight to the point, "Thank you for your hard work in the recapture battle. How is the situation now?"
Luhuajun explained the facts as calmly as possible, "It's even worse than I imagined. This year, the Luoze Empire adopted a new tactic. I don't know the situation of other armies, but as far as our West Fifth Army is concerned, we may still fail in retaking Dongwang City this year."
There was no trace of emotion on Mindarak's handsome face, as if he was not surprised by the result.
"The enemy has accumulated a lot of advantages and plans to end this war quickly. In order to ease the pressure from the plains and stop wasting time on the plains, they changed their strategy, which is also expected."
"What do you think of this situation, Prime Minister Mingdarak? After all, you have participated in the founding war of the Wansheng Nation and fought against cunning humans."
Mindarak smiled.
“Although I participated in that war, I was basically of no use.
The establishment of this country is entirely due to the contributions of various races.
To win this war, we must give full play to the racial characteristics of each race, just like in previous wars.
I heard that the general has arrived in Dongwang City, and I guess he has already started to attack the city.
Last summer, the striped geckos that joined us achieved a lot of results in many sieges. Perhaps they can also play a role in this siege."
"The striped gecko clan?" Lu Huajun stroked his chin gently, understanding what Mindarak meant. "Is it reliable? Those cold lizardmen are extremely sensitive to temperature. In this kind of weather, won't they become sitting ducks?"
"Don't worry about that."
Mindarak assured.
"An appropriate solution has been found, thanks to another race.
After celebrating the loss of the volcano, their livestock were slaughtered and they lost the land where they had lived for generations.
So, they are already willing to fight with us.
They even went so far as to go against their ancestors' teachings and hand over those important things to us in order to solve our current problems.
General Lu, you will know what it is when you see it.
In addition, the elves we accepted are also on the right track in their study of the Holy Light.
In order to assist you in attacking the city, I have selected some excellent priests to join your army and reduce your casualties.
After all, in spring and summer, we will still be counting on you and your troops to repay the kindness of these two tribes."
"I understand. Thank you for your concern, Prime Minister." Lu Huajun nodded, "I will try my best to make good use of them."
“I hope to hear good news from the general soon.
In addition, there is one more thing I want to know from the general, how is the young man I recommended?"
"I don't know where you found him. His outstanding performance really surprised me."
"Is that so? That's good."
Mindarak smiled slightly.
“You should also be aware of his situation. What His Majesty promised him has already arrived with the troops.
Please pass the things to him and tell him that if he can really make some achievements in this war, we will do our best to help him get better soon.
Okay, that’s all I have to say. I should go back and see if Her Majesty Qian Xialan can handle government affairs while I’m away.
I wish you good luck in martial arts."
After saying this, Mindarak's face completely disappeared from the crystal ball.
Lu Huajun also took out his pipe again and went out to inspect the troops, and once again went to take a look at the city that had stopped him several times.
