Chapter 232 Ambush
`
"Sir, are you sure that the enemy will chase our retreating troops so quickly? After all, after they occupied the Canglang Line of Defense, they should have made some arrangements for the Canglang Line of Defense before attacking us, right? Otherwise, if we counterattack them, wouldn't it be..."
"Humph, I'm sure those stinky guys will chase us as fast as possible. You may not know that when the orcs broke through the Canglang Line of Defense, the commander of the Second Army of the Canglang Line of Defense, after Bout and William fled, knew that he could not hold the Canglang Line of Defense, so he directly ordered the destruction of all the stored food and various war supplies in the defense warehouse... What a pity! The people who should be killed are dead at this time! And the people who should die are still alive at this time. Perhaps we have to say that he is a great irony...
Because of this, the orcs, who already had few resources, would soon run out of supplies, especially food, after sending out such a large number of troops. In this case, their only option was to invade the interior of the continent as soon as possible and then resupply on the spot... "
"Your Excellency is wise, but will our all-magician battle be effective..." After hearing my explanation, Victor immediately gave up his doubts about my action, but then he became worried about the combat effectiveness of our pure magician battle. But he was also thinking that without infantry cover and city wall protection, the magicians not only had to keep a distance from the enemy in the field battle, but also had to ensure the magic power they needed to escape. In this way, they could not fully exert the strength of the troops, and they could only exert half of their strength, which was probably the limit.
"Did you see what the Seventh Division did just now? They spent so much time outside, they weren't playing... Wait and see!" After listening to Villedo's words, and seeing that he had no perception of the Seventh Division's long stay outside, I immediately knew that this magician with outstanding personal strength must be a guy who is not good at managing a large army. Otherwise, after such a long time, he would not know what capabilities my army has. And just now they were out for such a long time, and Victor, the deputy commander of the army, actually didn't know where they went and what they did? But this is the best way, which prevents the leakage of the inner secrets of the Seventh Division and even the entire Dragon Legion, and also makes it easier for me to control the entire Dragon Legion.

After that, the entire army of more than 70,000 people lay in ambush, not daring to make any movement. After all, the orc army might appear in front of us at any time.
"Sir, do you think those orcs will not take any action in the short term? Otherwise, why don't they even send out a reconnaissance team?" After two consecutive days of waiting, the magicians who had been pampered were miserable. Finally, Victor showed up.
"Humph! I absolutely don't believe that the orcs will not take the opportunity to attack the plains of the Rudong Continent. If they just waste time with us here, then let alone their supply problems, doing so will definitely not benefit their attack at all. They will definitely come!"
"But sir, when we came out, in order to reduce the burden, all our magician troops were lightly equipped. In addition to the basic items, we only brought rations for three days. If we stay any longer, I'm afraid that not only will the morale of the troops drop, but even the most basic food will not be able to meet the needs of the troops... Otherwise, we send a team back to bring some back?" Seeing my firm attitude, Victor didn't dare to say more. After all, my previous actions also directly shocked him.
"Haha, it seems that Lord Victor doesn't quite understand the specific situation of our troops. Go tell the subordinates to survive in the wild within this circular sand dune range. Everyone should save the last portion of food for me in case of emergency..." While lamenting the weakness of my troop's command system, I did not explain too much to Victor and directly issued an order that stunned Victor.
"Sir, survival in the wild? What does that mean?" With their eyes wide open, Victor and several guards around him showed a look of surprise.
"To put it simply, it means giving them the basic things to let them survive in the wild... Of course, that means they have to feed themselves in this desert..." As I said that, I walked towards the shade of a small cliff on the side. Through my spiritual perception, I had already discovered that there were some special gadgets under this cliff.
"Haha, what a big snake! Looks like I'm really lucky. This stuff is enough for me to eat for two days..." Under the horrified gaze of Victor and others, a snake more than 1 meter long was pulled out from under the sand and rocks by me using magic, and then imprisoned by me.
"Sir, sir, are we just going to catch this kind of thing... and eat this kind of thing?" Swallowing his saliva, Victor suppressed his immense nausea and fear, and asked me in a trembling voice.
"Yes! Although the desert looks lifeless on the surface, in fact, behind it is an extremely rich food chain. As long as we are careful enough, then let alone find some food to stave off a few days of famine, it won't be a problem for the entire army to survive in the desert.
I think you didn't participate in the basic training and assessment of the army during the formation of this army. Otherwise, if you had undergone Shen Qiang's basic combat training and basic battlefield survival knowledge, you would not have reacted like you do now. "With a hint of dissatisfaction, I easily cut off the snake's head with the wind blade, and then poured the snake's blood into a prepared cup and drank it all.
"Don't just stand there like an idiot. Didn't you hear what the adults said? Go and inform the troops to go...go do something...survival in the wild..." Victor looked at my actions, and then looked at his stupidly standing aside. After reacting, Victor drove his subordinates one after another and told them to go and inform the troops below.
