April 19, 293, the imperial calendar of the Britannian Empire.
evening.
There were 164,000 troops participating in the "Aurora" offensive.
Su Cheng divided such a huge army into four batches and rushed to the city of Chuboer Fortress in batches.
The first batch of troops were led by Raymond and he was the vanguard of the entire army to open the way.
The second batch of troops was led by Su Cheng himself and followed closely behind the first batch of troops.
Willie was in charge of the third group of troops.
The fourth batch of troops was mainly composed of the Knights of Uriel and the Iron Armored Reis, led by Allen.
The first batch of troops successfully arrived at the city of Chupole Fortress on April 18. While setting up camp to prepare for the siege, they were also waiting for the arrival of subsequent troops.
Su Cheng, who personally led the second batch of troops, also arrived at the besieged camp outside the Chupole Fortress on April 19th.
In the evening - just now, Su Cheng finally arrived at the besieged camp of Chupole Fortress.
"It really matches the information sent back by the scouts." Su Cheng, who was looking at Chupole Fortress from afar, murmured, "It's such a good fortress. It took only more than three months to repair a city into a fortress of this level. It's amazing."
Su Cheng sincerely praised the craftsmen who were responsible for repairing Chupole into a fortress.
As soon as he arrived at the camp of the besieged army, Su Cheng was impatient to look at the Chupole Fortress, which was now surrounded by his troops.
After riding around Chupol Fortress on a horse, Su Cheng said to Alisa who was following him in a half-joking tone:
"Even if there are not 100,000 defenders in Chubol Fortress, there are still tens of thousands."
"If we attack Chubol Fortress, which is guarded by tens of thousands of troops, even if we fight all our troops, we may not be able to capture this fortress."
"Yes." Alisa smiled and echoed, "It's really a very good fortress."
"If I hadn't made any preparations, there might be no way to deal with this fortress."
After saying that, Su Cheng smiled meaningfully and led Alisa back to the besieged camp.
The strategy for Chupol Fortress was actually underway for a long time...
If it goes well, they will be able to take down Chubol Fortress without bleeding immediately.
...
...
at the same time--
Chupol Fortress.
In order to boost the morale of all the staff, Marshal Veselov decided to hold a small banquet to entertain all the generals and officials in the Chupol Fortress.
The Chupol Fortress currently includes Marshal Veselov, with a total of 68 generals and officers.
Only these 68 people were qualified to attend the banquet, and the number of participants was a small number, but judging from the food provided by the banquet, the banquet was definitely considered luxurious.
In addition to the lack of wine, there are all foods and drinks.
The generals and officials have been present one after another, waiting for the beginning of the banquet.
In order to pass this boring waiting time, some of the generals who had arrived in advance chatted in a row, and some were worriedly discussing the Britannian army outside the city.
Adair was not in a hurry to go to the banquet site.
Instead, he walked towards the kitchen secretly.
The kitchen that Adair slowly approached was not an ordinary kitchen, but a kitchen responsible for cooking all kinds of delicacies needed for tonight's banquet.
After pushing open the kitchen door, the chefs in the kitchen looked at Adale who was pushing the door in surprise.
The chefs saw from Adair's uniform that the young man who suddenly broke into their kitchen was a general.
"Uh..." a middle-aged man, who was suspected to be a chef, asked carefully while slowly approaching Adair, "Who are you?"
"Good evening." Adair smiled with kindness. "I am Adair Aschison. I took the liberty to visit, but it was just because I was so hungry that I planned to come to you to find something to eat."
As soon as Adair finished speaking, the chef smiled and then said in a respectful tone:
"Sorry, Acheson waits for a moment. Can you bear it? We will speed up and let the banquet open early..."
Before the chef could finish his words, Adale said in a tone with a hint of impatience:
"No, no. I'm really hungry. Please, please let me go in and find something to eat, right?"
The chef was not very happy to let Adair into the kitchen.
But he could not stand Adair's hard work, so the chef finally gave in and allowed Adair to go into the kitchen to find something to eat, but he could not stay in the kitchen for a long time.
After getting the chef's permission to enter the kitchen, Adair looked around with surprise.
“Wow, this kitchen is so big and clean.”
The chef seemed to like this similar praise very much. As soon as Adale finished speaking, the chef said proudly:
"Thank you for your praise! This kitchen is my battlefield. Before the army entered here and before Chupole was fortified, I had been fighting here for many years. Well, there are a lot of food here, so you can find something you like to eat."
"Ah, you can't touch the food there. That's the food for the banquet that will be served later. If you move around the food there, I will be very troubled."
"Don't worry." Adair smiled at the chef, "I'll just find something to eat and leave right away."
After saying that, Adal moved his eyes quickly and swept through everything in the kitchen one by one.
After scanning the kitchen, Adele's gaze finally froze on a large stove.
Although the distance is a bit far away, Adair can still smell the large stove being emitting an attractive meat fragrance.
Adair quickly walked to the big stove and lifted the cover.
In the stove, there is a pot of steaming broth.
"May I ask-what is this?"
Adair asked the chef.
"Oh! This one!"
A look of pride appeared on the chef's face again.
"This broth is my specialty!"
"How is it? It's very fragrant?"
"This broth will be served at a banquet later, so you can't drink it now."
After hearing the chef's words, Adair casually echoed a few words, then moved his eyes back to the pot of broth in front of him.
While staring at the pot of broth with a little cold look, Adele said in his heart:
——Finally found...it's it!
Adair quietly observed the surroundings.
After the chefs around him were busy with their own affairs and did not focus on him, Adal secretly took out a small bottle that had been hidden in his sleeves since the beginning.
Chapter completed!
