The existence of Shivaka is a threat to Daxia, and Xia Qi has a very strong murderous intention towards him.

Otherwise, he would not have stopped this war after passively entering a full-scale war.

Because Xia Qi knew in his heart that he could no longer allow this threat to continue to develop.

In the original warrant given to White Wolf, Xia Qi specifically emphasized that Schwaka must be eliminated at all costs.

Because he knew that for someone like Shivakar, as long as he was given time, he would make a comeback again.

Now it seems that that guy Schwaka had prepared an escape route long beforehand.

In the previous decisive battle, he did not escape back to the main city at all, but fled to an unknown place with a group of troops.

And just yesterday, a wolf cavalryman under Silan rushed back to report that the heavy rain a few days ago had made their tracking more difficult, and they have not been able to find any trace of the other party so far.

This situation made the white wolf frown. Could it be possible to let the prey that was about to be captured escape?

Staring at the map he found in Morhan's country, Bai Lang frowned and fell into deep thought until Bai Lan's voice rang in his ears.

"General, the Xiuyi Guard spies have arrived."

After hearing this, Bai Lang regained his composure, then pinched his eyebrows and said, "Let him in."

Then, a man in ragged clothes walked in from the door.

"Xiu Yiwei Secret Agent No. 5, see General!"

"Get up."

While raising his hand to signal the other party to stand up, Bai Lang immediately asked her.

"During this period of time, has this main city transported a large amount of grain and grass? Of course, in addition to grain and grass, there may be some other resources, such as ordnance and equipment."

Faced with this problem, No. 5 didn't know what to say for a while.

During the war, transporting food and grass resources to the front line was so common and frequent that if we were to count them one by one, we would not be able to count them.

After asking this question, Bai Lang himself seemed to realize that this question was not very accurate, so he decisively changed his approach.

"Eighty percent of what the other party transports is grain and grass resources, but they may cover up these things, disguise them as other things, and transport them quietly. Do you have any impressions of this kind of thing?"

Shivakar is a smart and cautious person, and such a person often knows how to leave an escape route for himself. At the same time, on this retreat route, he will inevitably have stored enough food and capital for him to make a comeback.

Therefore, if the other party did not return to the main city, it must have hidden in a hidden camp prepared in advance.

Regarding this, No. 5 first fell into deep thought, and then a light and shadow flashed across his mind.

"General, about a month ago, there was a period of unrest at night. There were often sounds like carriage dragging coming to the mine. The city gate seemed to have been opened, but I couldn't hear it very clearly, so I couldn't fully understand it.

affim."

Sneaking things out of the city in the middle of the night is completely in line with the characteristics Bai Lang mentioned in the question just now.

Therefore, Bai Lang perked up after hearing this, and quickly waved to No. 5. At the same time, he pointed at the map spread out in front of him and asked: "Which mine is it?"

"General, this is the one."

"are you sure?"

In response, No. 5 nodded with certainty.

"Confirmed! In the past few months, Beizhi has been disguised as a slave and hiding in this mine."

"very good."

As he spoke, Bai Lang's eyes moved quickly on the map.

Located in a mine, but you can hear the sound of a carriage being dragged, which means that the street the other party dragged the supplies through is very close to the mine.

According to the map, there is only one street that meets the requirements, and that street leads directly to the north gate of the main city!

When doing that kind of thing, the other party will definitely choose the shortest route after confirming that no one is following it to avoid unnecessary complications.

Therefore, Shivakar's hiding place is located in the north.

The distance won't be too close, otherwise they will find it soon.

But it's definitely not too far. If you get stopped halfway, you're putting the cart before the horse.

According to Bai Lang's estimation, the distance from this main city by horseback is no more than ten days, which is considered a relatively appropriate distance.

The newly acquired information allowed Bai Lang to constantly complete the clues in his mind. After some calculations, he directly circled a place on the map!

Then early the next morning, he called Qingyang and Kle directly and ordered them to lead the cavalry to the north to search for the escaped Schwaka.

While the cavalry was setting off, White Wolf himself was certainly not idle either.

He first had the mines filled in.

As for the reason for filling in the mine cave?

It's really because this place is too far away from Daxia, and it's not a rare mineral deposit. There's really no need for Daxia to go all the way here to mine.

But if you don't fill it in, what if some other tribe comes over and takes over these mines, and then mines ores, smelts metals, and makes weapons.

Isn’t this girl just another Morhan Kingdom?

Don't doubt the possibility, because such things have happened many times in Chinese history.

Therefore, before Daxia pushes its territory here, it is the best choice to fill in these mines and then leave them there.

However, he will definitely take away the resources in the city and the hundreds of thousands of grassland people.

Not to mention resources, the hundreds of thousands of grassland people are all cheap labor.

Daxia is now in a period of development, and there is a shortage of people everywhere. It would be strange if he lets go of such a large wave of manpower and is not scolded as a prodigal by His Majesty.

With an order, Bai Lang began to order his troops to transport resources and transfer these populations.

During the transfer, these grassland people and slaves basically did not resist much because the Xiu Yiwei spies who had penetrated inside cooperated with their actions.

Even the rebels who almost drove Schwaka crazy some time ago behaved very calmly and did not jump out to cause trouble at all.

It can be said that it saved Bai Lang a lot of trouble.

So far, except for the unknown whereabouts of Shivakar, other things have been going very smoothly.

At this moment, the main city of the Morhan Kingdom has temporarily become the temporary office of White Wolf.

One thing after another, things were quickly arranged.

At the same time, the work of razing those cities to the ground must begin quickly.

This matter is not difficult.

Because these prairie people had limited construction capabilities, the quality of the houses they built was average.

Except for Shivakar's palace and some noble residences, all other houses were in danger of being pushed down.

But even Shivaka's palace could not withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of eight-oxen crossbows and catapults.

The remaining earth and rocks after the demolition of houses and buildings can also be moved directly to the mine and used to fill the mine holes.

All these things were carried out in an orderly manner.

the other side.

In a quiet camp on the grassland, a new group of guests were welcomed.

Looking at the group of prairie cavalry that quickly entered the camp under the leadership of several scouts, Schwaka quickly walked out.

His eyes swept over the prairie cavalry, and Shivaka, who did not see the figure of Tulu, couldn't help but feel his heart sink. Then with some last chance of luck, he asked these people: "What about Tulu?"

Faced with this question, the young cavalry general who was leading his face froze, and when he spoke, his tone was obviously difficult.

"General...general, he died in battle."

When Shivakar heard the bad news, his mind went blank for a moment and he stepped back several times.

Then his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.

Duzhide, who was frightened at the side, quickly stepped forward and supported Shivaka.

Before he could say anything, another scout they had sent out before rushed back outside the camp.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty is not well!"

The scout who rushed back had a look of obvious panic on his face.

Shivaka, who was still immersed in the tragic news of Natulu's death in battle, suddenly became even more ugly.

"Your Majesty! The Daxia Cavalry was discovered on the grassland hundreds of miles away from our camp!"

At this moment, pairs of eyes in the camp fell on the prairie cavalry that had just arrived.

At this time, the young cavalry general's face suddenly turned pale as if he had realized something, and then he shook his head quickly and said, "No, Your Majesty! We were very careful when we came, and we were definitely not followed!"

Facing the young cavalry general's defense, Shivaka took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

At this point, it no longer matters what happened. To him, this prairie cavalry is also one of the important assets for his comeback.

It was impossible for him to kill the other party just because of suspicion.

However, now that Daxia's cavalry has found its way nearby, it means that the location of this camp will be exposed sooner or later, and we can no longer stay here.
