"Sir, the food here is enough for all our soldiers to eat for two years. We don't need to worry about food anymore. At least we don't have to worry about anything anymore..."
Looking at the soldiers excitedly carrying large amounts of food and various supplies, Matthew now showed an expression completely opposite to that before the war, and was extremely excited.
Unfortunately, this also made me doubt his ability. A man who can't accomplish anything great! Maybe I misjudged him before, and what he did at that time was just absolute obedience to orders.
"Yes! We don't have to worry about food, but we will have to face the revenge of the furious East Continent coalition forces. I don't know how they will deal with us..." Lamenting his mental retardation, I responded to him with a little worry. If he wasn't the deputy division commander, I would have kicked him.
"Your Excellency has filtered it, right? Not to mention that the army of the East Continent has been defeated by you so many times. Even if they can completely suppress our army in terms of military strength, I think the traps and ambushes that you have the soldiers set around the camps will be enough to make them suffer.
Even if we take a step back and say that they rushed into the Maze Forest, they could only capture our forward base at most. If they wanted to completely kill us, they would have to continuously capture at least 6 of our bases... No, 8 bases with the same defense facilities.
I really can’t imagine how many of them will die in our trap... 10 divisions or 10 legions? Haha, my lord, you worry too much!"
"I hope so. I really hope they can retreat when they see difficulty. As long as they don't fight us to the death, I will not harass them anymore before the Empire sends troops over! These days of fighting alone are too terrifying. I'm really fed up with being suspicious every day. I miss the happy days of reading and chatting online... Uh! What did I say?" While sighing, I unknowingly said some true words.
"What internet...chatting...Sir, I don't quite understand! Don't we chat every day? I wonder what else you like to chat about? If there are people in our army who share the same interests as you, we can transfer them over to serve as your personal guard, and chat with you when you are free..."
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just sighing, don't take it seriously." Damn, I knew you didn't understand. If you really knew what surfing the Internet and what QQ is, then I would really want to trick you.
"Report, my lords. Our spies outside have sent back two top-secret emergency communications. Two of our brothers died for this. Please take a look, lords." When I was laughing and avoiding the topic, a staff officer rushed over and handed me two letters.
As I read the intelligence, my face became darker and darker, and I felt a chill throughout my body. Damn, this time they are not simply coming to attack or destroy us, they are simply coming to slaughter us. Given our numbers, is it worth it for them to use such a strong force? I fainted!
"Sir, is there any bad news? You don't look very good..." Seeing my complexion getting worse and worse, Matthew asked me cautiously.
"Hehe, it's nothing big. The coalition forces of the East Continent are going to retaliate against us... They have dispatched two main legions and three magician units. Humph! Am I really afraid of them? Those with bare feet are not afraid of those with shoes. The worst that can happen to me is to abandon the entire base and run away. But they, just fill the traps outside the barracks with their bodies!" I threw away the parchment in my hand and quickly walked towards the staff headquarters, regardless of Matthew, who had turned blue with fright after I told him the number of enemy troops.

"Captain Ofer, the maze forest is ahead. I suggest... Oh my God! What is that..." The staff officer who was about to give directions to Captain Ofer followed his hand and suddenly saw a terrifying, cold and weird scene: tens of thousands of human-shaped ice sculptures stood quietly on the road leading to the maze forest.
"The whole army stops advancing, all units are in combat mode, the magician unit adds a magic shield to the whole army, and the scouts go to investigate the situation there..." Almost at the same time as the staff officer spoke, the commander of the Orford Army began to issue various orders quickly. At this time, in the heart of the commander of the Orford Army, an ominous premonition arose.
"Sir, there... there are all our troops... it's our vanguard Second Division, all 10,017 of them were killed... all were frozen to death by the damn magician's magic..." Gritting his teeth, the scout almost yelled loudly after running back, and while talking about being frozen to death by the magician, he glared fiercely at the magician next to him, which almost drove the magicians of the Kingdom of Yann crazy.
"What else did you find? What do you have in your hand?" Without commenting on his subordinate's words, Ofer continued to ask the scout calmly. But in fact, he was struggling in his heart. Just a face-to-face... No, not even a face-to-face, he lost a light cavalry division, what was this? Was he too useless, or was the enemy too powerful
"Sir...sir, we also found this. You, you are..." The scout shrank back at this time and didn't want to hand the sign in his hand to Ofer.
"Damn it, why are you hesitating? I asked you to hand it over!" On the verge of anger, Ofer couldn't bear it anymore and started firing at his subordinates.
He took the sign handed over by his subordinates, and after just a glance, Ofer angrily smashed it to pieces. The rage rushed from Ofer's heart to his forehead.
"Damned Kastark pigs, you dare to ask us to bring our own coffins... I will make sure you all die without a burial place... Come on, immediately send me a squadron of soldiers to explore the way, and the rest of the troops should be ready to attack at any time. I want to see how they are going to use 10,000 people to deal with our army of more than 100,000!" (To be continued)
