Chapter 170 169 Just Kill Their Horses!

Chapter 170 169. Just kill their horses!

The idea of ​​fighting to support the war was originally to loot enough food near Iris to survive the entire autumn. Therefore, in order to achieve marching efficiency, Izarebi only brought two days of food this time, thinking of replenishing supplies around Blue Water.

But now Izarebi is very irritable. In the two days since entering Blue Water, he has not seen a single mushroom man in the Imperial Halberd.

As for food, Blue Water has implemented a very thorough defense of the countryside. Not to mention a grain of rice, even scouts in the mountains and fields can't find edible mushrooms and wild vegetables. It's really weird. I don't know how they select food.

Now in Blue Water, if you want to get food in the wild, you can only hunt.

But Izarebi is not a few people, but 4,000 people. Hunting can't meet the daily needs of this team at all.

Not only that, the well water in Blue Water is at risk of pollution. After a soldier was poisoned, Izarebi strictly prohibited any drinking of dead water.

"This is not a mushroom, it's a turtle!"

Izarebi, who understood the strategic intentions of Blue Water, still did not give up. He headed towards Blue Water City, which Celer merchants had not set foot on for hundreds of years. Under the guidance of the scout, he saw the strong and towering city walls, the deep moat, and the wheat ears hanging high on the wall.

This was a provocation. Blue Water was telling Izarebi and Celer that their military power had no effect on Blue Water.

The scout with the imperial halberd rode close to Blue Water City, and across the moat, he looked at the city that rejected Celer merchants and now rejected Celer's Seventh Army.

The Blue Water Mushroom Man who found the Celer people coming did not attack the scout, but brought out a portion of fragrant fried mushrooms and fried rice from somewhere, put down his weapons, and feasted on the scout.

The wheat ears hanging on the top of the city are far less stimulating than the Blue Water soldiers eating on the city wall.

Just watching the Blue Water people eating and drinking with a smile, the scouts of the Empire Long Halberd became impatient and wanted to climb the wall to chop people.

Izarebi was also a little upset when he heard the news.

Although the purpose of the Empire Long Halberd was to find out the strength of the various races in the south, everyone knew that they came for merit.

It was nothing to kill some small tribes. With their status, military merit played a very small role, so dealing with Blue Water was the highlight.

There were two thorns in the eyes of Celer in Mostana.

One was the goblins who always mocked them.

The other was Blue Water, who refused Celer people and followed through to the end and never wavered.

Because of the geographical location of Blue Water, Celer had never been able to vent his anger before.

This time, Izarebi led the team to the south of Mostana and entered the Blue Water territory, and he also had his own plans in mind.

The first person in the Empire to defeat Blue Water, this title Izarebi wanted very much, which was enough to make him famous in the history of Celer.

But Blue Water did not give him this opportunity. Not only that, the strategy of fortifying the city and clearing the countryside also forced him to withdraw his troops in disgrace in order to fill his stomach.

When he thought that after returning, it would be the turn of others to command the Imperial Halberd to fight and gain merit, honor, and political capital... Izarebi's eyes flashed with coldness and he made up his mind.

"I don't believe that all races can do this."

Worried about Blue Water's pursuit, Izarebi sent many scouts along the way to ensure that he would not be caught on the tail.

This worry seemed unnecessary. The gates of Blue Water City were closed and there was no intention to open them.

Izarebi, who originally had the idea of ​​​​killing back, shook his cloak and spat fiercely.

"Really a turtle!"

The depressed Izarebi took out the Mostana map that the Celer merchants had gradually completed through a large number of transactions. After checking the direction, he began another round of sweeps.

The swift Imperial Halberd soon felt something strange.

Three or four tribal territories were empty, and the containers for food were empty without even a trace of residue.

An ominous premonition came to Izarebi's heart. He gritted his teeth and looked in the direction of Blue Water City with resentment.

"You damn mushroom people!"

Such a unified action, Izarebi didn't believe that there was no one in charge.

In the north of Mostana, the ethnic groups that formed an alliance in the central part were still scheming against each other, but the south actually had such dispatch and execution capabilities?

Angry Izarebi set fire to all the empty ethnic bases and smashed their idols.

The long-distance raid was fruitless, and the pace was dragged down by the turtle of Blue Water. He could even imagine the ridicule of other nobles in Celer after returning... Izarebi became more and more angry, and his sword hand clattered.

However, as the commander of the army, he knew very well that he could not act on impulse. The rations carried by the entire team were not enough to support daily activities, and the excellent war horses that the cavalry relied on could not be easily damaged.

After weighing the pros and cons, Izarebi decided to search for another half a day, and if he could not obtain any results and supplies, he would return immediately.

Considering that the races around Blue Water were easily influenced by the Blue Water tribe, Izarebi adjusted his direction and headed towards the Moon Shadow Werewolf territory.

As the sun was about to set, the scouts of the Empire Long Spear reported to Izarebi an exciting news.

"There are tribes ahead."

Like a shark smelling blood, Izarebi led the army to rush over quickly, trying to block these alien races who did not have time to follow Blue Water to implement the strategy of fortifying the walls and clearing the fields.

However, they were still a step too late. The lizardmen living here were full of martial virtue. After discovering the traces of the scouts, they first chased one of them to death and injured another, and then hurriedly hid in the mountains and forests where cavalry could not enter with the elderly and children.

The soldiers of the Imperial Halberd were surprised to find a large amount of dried meat and rice in the caves and wooden houses of the lizardmen. After the magician tested them, they confirmed that all of them were non-toxic.

After two consecutive days of no harvest, the Imperial Halberd, which had halved its rations for both men and horses, harvested a large amount of food at once and quickly began to distribute the food and take turns to eat.

"Something is wrong, don't cook rice." Izarebi looked at the mountain of rice in the lizardmen's warehouse and said firmly, "How can a barbarian like the lizardmen eat rice? There is a trick."

Several experienced cavalry captains beside Izarebi looked at each other, and after a moment of silence, they hurried forward and whispered a few words.

"Orcs have always been omnivorous, so they naturally eat rice, which is a food that makes people feel full... They don't just eat meat."

Izarebi was stunned for a moment, and his expression became unnatural.

Fortunately, several cavalry captains were very considerate, and they covered up the matter with a sentence saying that Lord Izarebi saw too much rice and became alert, so they covered it up.

According to the description of experienced scouts, the rice here is basically produced by Blue Water.

Oval, crystal clear, white and plump rice grains, you can smell a unique sweet fragrance when you rub it.

Backed by the rich land on the edge of the wetland, Blue Water has opened up countless trade routes in the south in recent years with food, and most of the orcs here will more or less take care of Blue Water's business.

Because Blue Water and Celer are at odds, Celer also prohibits Blue Water's rice from entering its territory through various channels, so this is the first time that the soldiers have eaten the gift from the southernmost land of Mostana.

When the rice is ripe, the rich aroma of rice floats in the camp, like the charming and moving hands of a beauty, gently brushing everyone's face.

Izarebi, who was extremely unhappy with the blue water, wanted to eat a few bites of dried meat to get by, but when he saw the fierce and intoxicated look of the soldiers around him when they were eating...

Izarebi picked up a bowl as if nothing had happened and tasted it.

This bite, he couldn't stop.

A bite of dried meat, a bite of white rice, Izarebi completely forgot that he had just repeated in his mind "I will never eat blue water rice".

"The land that can grow such good rice, and such sweet rice... should also be enjoyed by the people of the empire."

Because the resentment that the blue water prevented him from becoming famous was completely dissipated because of these bites of rice, Izarebi suddenly felt a sense of heroism in his heart. While adding rice to himself, he was thinking about the next battle plan of the Empire Long Spear.

A sharp whistle broke the silence of the Empire Long Spear camp.

This was an emergency signal from the secret sentry of Celer. The whistle was interrupted hastily, which meant that the secret sentry who reported the news had died for his country.

The well-trained soldiers were stunned for a few seconds, then dropped the bowls in their hands and rushed to the war horses not far away.

The magicians were faster. They stood up before they swallowed the food in their mouths, mobilized their magic power, and quickly built a defensive barrier with their companions.

However, the arrows with various magic attributes in the air were still faster than their reactions.

As the sun set, the colorful arrows dragged long "tail flames", like falling meteors from the sky, densely covering the camp of the Empire Halberd.

The Empire Halberd, which was still enjoying the food a few seconds ago, was in a mess.

The enchanted arrows pierced the bodies of some unlucky people, making them obstacles that tripped their companions in this chaos.

The horses hit by the arrows began to run around in pain, and the formation that was originally maintained during the meal was gradually out of control due to the impact of the war horses.

In the chaos, the cavalry captain called for the formation, and the cavalrymen who rushed to the warhorses in panic collided with their companions. The magician shouted loudly to try to cooperate with his companions...

The sound of explosions, the neighing of horses, and the sound of metal friction when drawing swords were mixed together.

"The magician builds a barrier on the spot to buy time for the cavalry to mount their horses!"

Izarebi used a simple "loud voice technique" to amplify his voice and blast it into the ears of the soldiers who were like headless flies.

The sense of security of the sixth-level magician suppressed the chaotic scene, allowing the originally nervous imperial halberd to quickly find the target of action.

Lu Yu, who was standing on a high point not far away, saw this scene and sighed: "Sure enough, we can't underestimate these experienced predecessors. Ordinary armies would be defeated in panic if they were attacked like this."

"But it's not over yet."

The mushroom man of Lanshui and the moon shadow werewolf appeared when the sun was about to completely sink into the horizon.

"Although I can't eat all of you elites...but using your lives to boost morale is enough."

Lulutis stretched out a tentacle and released a ball of light into the sky.

Seeing this signal, six hundred level 5 Blue Water Mushroom People released magic together.

This is a magic that Lu Yu likes very much, and even uses it to measure the combat power of magicians.

Fireball.

And his target is not the imperial halberd surrounded by Blue Water and Moon Shadow Werewolves in the center.

But the forest on this mountain.

Lu Yu, who got the command from the Night Water and Moon Shadow Werewolf envoy, calmly ordered.

"Remember your goal, just kill their horses!"
