After Wood returned, the convoy drove slowly out of the Holy City. However, not far away, the convoy stopped because a figure appeared in front of it. This person was Susan and her grandfather. Susan saw the convoy leaving the Holy City.
, Susan trotted up and said:
"Aren't you going to take me away? Why didn't you tell me before you left?"
Wood said with a smile:
"It's not that I won't tell you, I just want you and grandpa to prepare for a while before going to the Fire City to find us."
Susan pouted and said:
"Liar, my grandpa told me that it is dangerous to follow you now, so I pulled my grandpa over. Don't worry as my grandpa is here! These grains will definitely be transported to the Fire City."
Wood and Palu bowed respectfully to Kerry Merlin, and then Wood ordered to rest.
Palu asked in confusion:
"Why stop? Now that Great Magister Merlin has joined us, we will definitely be able to transport the food back safely."
Wood explained:
"No, there is an ambush ahead. We cannot enter rashly. If we want to bring food security back, we are too small in number and it is difficult to take care of it. We cannot afford any mistakes."
Pallu then asked:
"Then what do we do?"
Wood then looked at Sal and said:
"Sal, you go find Zorro. From now on, you two must check every road we take. You can't be careless. You must report where there are enemies and which roads are safe."
What!"
After receiving the order, Sal disappeared, and then Wood said:
"We'll go out in the evening."
Wood had already given the order, and no one could say anything. After Palu left, Sir Ma asked differently:
"Why don't we ask the Night Guards for help? With them here, we will definitely be able to transport the food back."
Wood smiled and said:
"They still have missions, we can't let them go out now."
Sir Ma nodded and said:
"I understand, but can we transport the food back safely? Do we need to go back to Fire City to call in some helpers?"
Wood still smiled and said:
"I've already arranged all of this!"
Then Wood explained his arrangement, and after listening to Sir Ma, he smiled and left. The old man said as he walked:
"Today's young people are so steady in doing things, they are better than us old men!"
Wood took out a secret report from the space ring, read it carefully for a while, and then wrote a copy and sent it out.
In the mansion of the Holy City, the envoy of the Ice and Snow Empire was reporting to Eva.
"Prime Minister, the grain transport convoy stopped 10 miles outside the Holy City. It seems that they are not planning to continue on their way. Should we inform the people of Gangze?"
Eva said with a gloomy look:
"No, since Gangze didn't tell us about his actions, it means he doesn't want us to participate. If they are willing to suffer, let them suffer!"
At this moment, a member of the God's Family rushed in. When he saw Eva, he hurriedly reported:
"Lord Patriarch, we have just intercepted a secret message sent by Wood."
Eva casually took the secret letter and read it, but after reading it, Eva said angrily:
"Quick, everyone return home quickly!"
No one has ever seen Eva in such a hurry, so it seems that this matter must be no small matter.
Wood sighed in the camp, then looked at the sky outside and said to himself:
"Eva, I have no choice but to do it for my country."
When it was almost evening, Sal finally came back. Wood and Sal chatted for a long time in the military tent. When the two came out, Wood ordered to continue on their way.
This is the first time that I have been traveling in the dark, especially transporting food. For today's legion, food is their lifeblood and cannot be given up casually.
The soul body asked in confusion:
"Wood, why are you traveling in the dark? What if the enemy ambush you at night?"
Wood explained:
"No, Sal has checked and there is no enemy ambush on this section of the road, and this section of the road belongs to the plains. No matter it is day or night, as soon as the enemy appears, he can see clearly, so I think
It’s okay to travel at night.”
The soul body was still puzzled and asked:
"Then where do you think Gangze will ambush?"
Wood said with a smile:
"I don't know about the Gangze people, but the best ambush point is Death Canyon, but I guess the Gangze people will not only set up ambush points in Death Canyon."
In fact, not only the soul body is curious, but everyone is curious about this question now. Since Wood chose to travel at night, there must be his purpose, but Wood did not say it, and it is difficult for everyone to ask.
In fact, after Wood's careful calculation, when Fire City's reinforcements arrived at Dawn City, they arrived at the edge of Death Canyon. In this way, the two troops flew directly over Death Canyon from the sky in one round, so that they could safely transport the food back.
, but if traveling during the day, the convoy will arrive at Death Canyon before. Although the difference is only a few hours, it is still unknown whether the food can be saved if the two armies fight in these few hours.
Moreover, Wood's arrangement like this not only reduces the time difference, but also unintentionally consumes the patience of the Gangze people. As long as the patience of the Gangze ambush soldiers wears off, they will definitely fall into the counter-trap set by Wood. In fact, this is
Wood's purpose.
Early the next morning, after driving all night, Wood continued to order a rest. Everyone was used to Wood not following common sense. After resting for a whole day, Wood ordered to drive again. The road at night was difficult to walk, and it didn't matter that it was a plain before.
, but now we are walking on a mountain road, which is even more dangerous.
During the day on the third day, Wood continued to order the convoy to rest, but this time Wood did not let everyone rest. Instead, he asked everyone to enter the military tent for a meeting.
This group of twenty-two people were in the military tent, and Wood said in a deep voice:
"According to Sal's investigation, the patience of the Gunze people has been worn out by us. Now they are rushing here. By the afternoon, they should be ready to attack our convoy."
Palu asked hurriedly:
"What is the configuration of the other party?"
Sal said:
"Two thousand people, all gold-level cultivators."
Everyone gasped, and then Wood took out a map, pointed at it and said:
"We are here, and if we send ten people to intercept them here, these two thousand people will not be able to get through."
Everyone looked at the map and nodded. Everyone felt that the place pointed by Wood was an excellent ambush point.
And Wood went on to say:
"I leave the person responsible for the attack to you magicians. I hope you will do your best to kill the first wave of Gangze's attacking troops."
Ten people versus two thousand people, this number is indeed terrible, but no one in Wood's group is mediocre, so no one objected. Then Wood said:
"For this battlefield command, I appoint His Majesty Palu as the commander, His Excellency Kerry Merlin as the deputy commander, and the others will be at the disposal of the two."
The magicians stood up and saluted to receive the order, but Palu pointed at himself blankly and said:
"I, can I?"
If it were the previous Palu, he would definitely agree, but since Sir Ma said those words to Palu, Palu has already figured it out, but this time Wood actually appointed himself as the commander, which made Palu
There is a feeling of being flattered.
Wood said with a smile:
"Your Majesty, you can do it, believe in yourself."
Then the magicians left. They included Palu, Kerry, Susan, Yuna, Andy, Allen and other four members. There were ten of them in total.
After they left, Sal asked in confusion:
"Boss, do you really think Palu can do it?"
Wood said solemnly:
"Palu is indeed a talent. Although our command styles are different, we cannot deny his ability. Moreover, he is also our Majesty after all. He should be allowed to grow up and take charge of his own business in the future."
When Wood finished these words, Sir Ma behind him smiled and nodded, then stepped forward and said:
"Wood! They've all been sent out, what about the others?"
Wood smiled and said:
"Do you think these two thousand people from Gangze will be stupid enough to come here together? I think their commander will definitely send some high-level strong men to take a detour and sneak attack on us. What we have to do next is to kill these people."
Then Wood issued some more orders, and except for Sir Ma, everyone else basically assigned tasks, and then waited for Hou Gangze's arrival.
