"Sir, we have wiped out all the soldiers of the East Continental Coalition. According to our statistics, they have a total of one division of regular light infantry, more than 7,000 drivers, and more than 3,000 carriages have been seized..."
"What did you say? More than 7,000 drivers? More than 3,000 carriages? How come this is totally inconsistent with the intelligence just now? More than 3,000 carriages... How much food and fodder would that be? Damn it, take me to the granary..." I was almost shocked when I heard the news. And I definitely didn't jump for joy, but was very worried. Did I win the jackpot this time? More than 3,000 carriages of food and fodder, how many people's rations would that be
Rushing quickly towards the granary, I was extremely anxious. If there were only a few hundred carts of food there, I wouldn't be so worried. If that was true, I should take away what I could, but what should I do with the rest? Destroy it? Or abandon it? It was a headache...
If I abandon them, then when the news spreads to the empire, I will be in trouble. Maybe even Sack and his men can’t protect me. If I destroy them right on the spot, I may be hated to the extreme by the East Continent coalition forces who are furious because of losing a lot of food. Who knows what they will do in this situation...
"Sir, please go and see... It's all food... It's all full... The brothers are so happy! Sir, shall we burn all the remaining ones before we leave? That way, the East Continent coalition forces may retreat due to the loss of food supply..." An officer saw me coming and shouted to me excitedly. That guy didn't consider our situation at all.
Without answering him, I ran straight to the open granaries. The soldiers who were running along the way to load the grain didn't even have time to greet me.
After running around the entire transfer station, I sat stupidly on a damaged carriage. Looking at the soldiers who were already looking for fire starters to set fire, I knew that the current situation was irreversible. If I were to stop those excited and fanatical soldiers now, I probably wouldn't have to give them orders in the future. The peaceful days of more than two months would probably be broken soon, and the East Continent coalition forces would definitely launch a retaliatory attack on my army...
I hit the shaft of the cart with a fierce punch, and then I stood up and ordered everyone to retreat immediately, except for the soldiers who set the fire. Damn it, fight me if you want! I have never been afraid of anyone until now. If you want to die, I will grant your wish. . . . . .
Finally, the whole town was set on fire. . . . .

"What? What did you say? All the military rations we transferred to Kaburu were burned? How could this happen... How could this happen... Damn it, I'm going to kill that bastard Modi... What the hell is he doing for a living... So much military rations... That's nearly a month's worth of food for our entire army..." Upon hearing the news, the commander-in-chief of the East Continental Allied Forces almost scratched his head in rage.
"My lord...Modi...Modi has died in the battle..."
"He died well... He died well... He didn't protect the military rations, he deserves death... Tell me, what happened?" The answer from his staff officer suddenly made Marshal Sterling regain his sanity from his rage. Since the incident had happened, it was irreversible. The most important thing now was to find out the cause of the incident. It was too late to mend the fold after the sheep had been lost, but as long as the loophole was fixed, such a situation would not happen again in the future.
"Sir, the situation is like this. The food and vegetables transported from the Empire were originally going to be handed over to the receiving troops from the front line at that transfer station. However, the receiving troops that were supposed to arrive before dark did not arrive in time, and the troops transporting the food could not wait and returned to the Empire first... As a result... As a result, a small army of the Kastark Empire took advantage of the opportunity. This accident led to the destruction of one of our light infantry divisions, the killing of more than 7,200 drivers, and the hijacking of more than 3,000 carriages... At the same time, about 4,500 carts of food and grass were lost..." The more Sterling talked, the worse his face became. In the end, he looked like a street grill used for making kebabs. The staff officer's voice, like his own head, was getting lower and lower.
"That army... is it a unit that uses some kind of super-long bows and arrows... They can actually engage in street fighting... What a terrible army. Perhaps my biggest mistake was not mobilizing an absolute advantage in the number of troops to encircle and suppress them at the beginning... Tell me more specifically about how they attacked Modi's infantry division and whether they mobilized their entire army. I need detailed information."
Hearing Stirling's words, the staff officer immediately handed the prepared information to the marshal. But after Stirling looked at some of the information, his whole body couldn't help but tremble.
After reluctantly reading through the documents with a dark face, Marshal Sterling could no longer bear the depression in his heart, and tore the report into pieces, and then suddenly overturned his desk completely...
“Call the commanders of the First Legion, the Seventh Legion, the Eighth Magician Corps of the Kingdom of Yan, the Third Magician Corps of the Kingdom of Yan, and all the commanders of the Fourth Magician Corps to come to my place for a meeting to discuss how to completely get rid of those bastards… Damn it… Most of the soldiers were killed in their beds… All the sentinels were killed by a single arrow… If such a troop reaches me, wouldn’t I even lose my life in their hands… Kill them for me… No matter what means you use, no matter how many casualties there are, you must destroy them for me… If that doesn’t work, let the magicians of the Kingdom of Yan kill them with forbidden spells…”
The furious Sterling no longer cared about his dignity and respect, and just went all out like a street-swearing thug... (To be continued)
