Lord Chronicle

Chapter 102
A month later, the nightmare of Lulin Army's logistics department came.A bandit group that came out of nowhere became active on the supply line in the south. They repeatedly attacked the transport troops and wreaked havoc, which greatly increased the pressure on the already tight logistics line of the Imperial Army.

There was an incomprehensibly high quality in this band of bandits.They are well-organized, extremely powerful in combat, come and go like the wind, never confront large troops, and only pick the axis-heavy troops with weak guards to attack.And once you get it, you will never be greedy for more, and start setting fire after taking away the necessary supplies, never leaving any clues.

In just one month, several transport convoys have been attacked and lost a large amount of logistics materials. The consequences are so serious that they have affected the supply of the front troops.

Since Lulin believed in the strategy of concentrating troops, most of the troops were placed on the front lines of the Ruhrland and Overland, and there were not many troops stationed in the rear except for some important strongholds and cities.Therefore, there is no way to deploy too many people to guard the transport team. In addition, the supply line is very long and cannot take care of all places. There is simply no way to deal with the bandits.

The headache for the Gendarmerie Department in charge of security in the rear was that this bandit group known as the "death group" had inspired many Dinard mobs who tried to resist the imperial rule due to repeated failures.Now many people are learning to kill the regiment to wreak havoc in various places. Although the Gendarmerie Department has extinguished several cases of covert resistance in time, there is no way to find the source of all these.

Due to the brilliant victory in the Ruhrland, the Imperial Army decided after research to temporarily postpone the offensive in the Overland and focus on the attack on the northern part of Dinard.Taking advantage of the defeat of Pintat's Northern Legion, they tried to build a semi-permanent military fortress in the Ruhr Territory, and then drove straight along the north, attacking the king's capital Dusk from another route.

However, the hateful thing is that due to the existence of this bandit group, the various materials sent to the Ruhr Territory suffered a lot of losses. Although it did not destroy this strategy, it greatly affected the construction of the fortress.

In this regard, the military department has issued a death order to the Gendarmerie Department. If this damned death group cannot be resolved within half a month, all senior officials of the Gendarmerie Department will be court-martialed!

So these days, the Imperial Military Police Headquarters headquartered in Ferry City has been suffocating from top to bottom, especially General Josie, the chief of the Military Police Department, is almost on the verge of collapse.

"Bastard! You can't even wipe out a small group of bandits, you are all idiots! Idiots!" On this day, Josie's roar came again from the office of the chief of the Gendarmerie.

Several gendarmerie captains retreated in embarrassment, followed by a mess of folders and ink bottles, which showed that General Josie was in a very bad mood at the moment.

"Mr. Chief, is it still about those robbers?" At this moment, a man walked into the office.

"Ah, it's Mr. Cliff." Josie, who was panting angrily when he saw someone coming, stood up.

"Why, a group of little robbers can make you so angry?" Cliff picked up a stack of documents and put them back on Josie's desk.

Ever since he became a traitor and helped the Lulin Empire wipe out the Western Legion, Cliff has received great attention from the Lulin side.Now he is one of the people in charge of the logistics supply of the Lulin army and the leader of the puppet government in the occupied area. It can be said that he is doing well.

In response to his question, Josie sighed: "This is the most difficult bandit I have ever seen in my life. I have launched several large-scale searches against them, but these guys seem to have excellent scouts, and they can always I found the army in advance, so as to avoid them. Now I can't even touch their shadows, and the military department has issued a death order, how can I not be angry."

Cliff laughed and said, "So that's the case. Talking about this dead team is really a headache."

"Oh, Lord Cliff knows about them too?" Josie asked in surprise.

Cliff nodded: "It's a little bit of acquaintance. I'm not afraid of your jokes. I was robbed by them. Those untouchables are indeed a group of natural robbers. It's just that I didn't expect them to come here."

"Hey, even you have suffered from them, how can you deal with these guys." Josie held her head in distress.

Cliff snorted: "I'm in charge of supplying your army's logistics, and the existence of these untouchables also seriously affects my work. Whether it's public or private, I won't allow them to continue their nonsense."

"Oh, you have a way to deal with them?" Josie asked hopefully.

Cliff nodded and said: "The other party is well-organized, and it is difficult to find their traces. But relatively, because they are small in number, as long as they find the hiding place of these guys, they can be wiped out easily."

Josie couldn't help showing disappointment: "I thought of that too, but the opponent's anti-reconnaissance ability is very strong, and the scouts I sent couldn't track their whereabouts at all."

A sharp light flashed in Cliff's eyes: "No matter how powerful it is, can it compare to the famous Night Shadow Troop?"

"What, can you send me the Night Shadow Troop?" Josie asked in disbelief.

Lulin's four ace troops were all fighting on the front line, and the Yeying troops, with the smallest number, were sent to various important battlefields. It was impossible to dispatch for a group of small robbers.Now that Cliff was able to find Ye Ying to help, Josie couldn't help but be very pleasantly surprised.

Cliff said: "For my safety, the military department sent two Yeying members to covertly protect. I can temporarily send them out. With their abilities, I believe they can easily find the hiding places of those guys."

"Master Cliff's generous help, I am really grateful." Josie immediately stood up without hesitation, and bowed deeply to Cliff.

Now that he was being driven into a rage by the strict orders of the military department, Cliff's action was equivalent to saving his life. For the first time in so many days, Josie felt relieved.

"Hmph, ignorant pariahs, I let you go because I had no time to take care of you, but now you dare to offend me again. I will let you know what will happen if you offend a real nobleman!" Cliff said. With a cold smile, he said so in his heart.

************************************************** ***************************
The "death group" that caused Lulin's entire logistics line a headache was naturally Sol and the others.After finding the camp abandoned by the dead group before, they hid in peace, looking for a chance to return to Lovell.

However, pure waiting is obviously boring, so under the boredom, Sol decided to repeat his old business and led the defenders to fight guerrilla warfare.

For security reasons, they didn't want to draw too much attention from the enemy, so they didn't announce their true identities, but borrowed the banner of the dead group.After all, for the Lulin military, the emergence of a bandit group in the rear and the appearance of an enemy force are definitely two different concepts.

It was good for him to be bored, but the whole southern line was immediately turned upside down.You must know that this bandit group is not an ordinary bandit group. Among them are Lesta who is familiar with the terrain and has rich experience in "robbing the road"; there are well-trained guards with extremely strong combat effectiveness; and top-level reconnaissance and anti-reconnaissance capabilities The night shadow team members.

Of course, in the end, there is also the young master Sol who is familiar with guerrilla warfare in another world and has a bad stomach, which makes this combination unprecedentedly destructive.

For more than a month, they specifically attacked Lulin's transport convoy, avoiding the strong and bullying the weak, and the results were brilliant.At the beginning, it was just to grab some necessary living supplies, but later on, it completely regarded raiding as a legitimate profession.

Although some garrison members disapproved of this kind of concealed combat, in their concept, attacking the enemy is to fight on the battlefield with real swords and guns. What is this kind of robbery?
Saul was not ashamed at all.He knew what the logistics line meant to an army, and destroying it was one of the most commonly used methods of guerrilla warfare.

Ignorant children, do you know?I also call it resistance.

Of course, he didn't know that his actions had caused great trouble to Lulin's military, and even became a role model for many resisters. Sol was simply immersed in the joy of robbery.

Looking at the various supplies that have gradually increased in the camp these days, Sol completely feels the joy of harvest.So although it was a bit off from the original purpose, he did it more happily.

He is now completely following the Liangshan hero's way. Whenever there is a transport team passing by on the site, the small ones will earn money from the cottage and use it as military funds; Panjin, never leave a single thread to the enemy.

There is a saying in this way: if people live to save money, if geese live to pluck their feathers, if the manure is too large, I will scoop it up.

Just when Cliff and Josie came to a new plan to exterminate the dead group, in a house in a hidden valley far away in the depths of the Horris Mountains in the Ferrys Territory, bursts of pleasant chatter were being heard. Humming.

The sun shines in through the hole in the roof. It can be seen that this is a dilapidated wooden house. There are many traces of insects on the floor and walls. Moist and raw mushrooms.

In this wooden house that should have been abandoned, it was full of all kinds of messy things.From beer barrels to flour sacks, from new armor to neatly arranged bows and arrows, there are even a lot of messy things such as military boots, helmets, axes and saws.

So many irrelevant things piled up in the same place, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a warehouse of a theft group.In fact, it is indeed the place where the stolen goods of a famous bandit group were piled up recently.

The humming sound came from the middle of the wooden house, where a tall and thin young man with flaxen hair was resting on a pillow made of Lulin army flags, shaking his legs leisurely.

You don't need to look to know that this person is Master Saul who changed his career and became a robber again.

Unaware that he was being targeted by his old friend Cliff again, Sol was humming a happy ditty and carefully counting the spoils of these days.

Licking the quill in his mouth, he began to calculate in a small notebook: "300 kilograms of flour, 150 kilograms of cheese bread, 100 kilograms of bacon, 60 sets of armor, 15 barrels of beer, 40 bags of arrows... Let me see See how much it is in gold coins...Damn it, it was a mistake not to bring Reed out."

While he was having a headache about the chaotic accounts, the door of the warehouse opened, and Kress walked in with his head held high.

Turning his head and glancing at him, Sol continued to count the inventory: "What did you gain today?"

Kress shook his head: "The two convoys were escorted by cavalry. Chip thought it was too dangerous, so we didn't do anything."

Under Saul's arrangement, they are currently implementing a shift robbery system. There are people on duty from morning to night. As long as there is an axle-loaded unit passing by, they can judge whether they can start according to the situation.Anyway, Yeying team members are responsible for the peripheral security, and they are not afraid of falling into the enemy's trap.

Hearing what Kress said, Sol said indifferently: "Forget it, anyway, they can't protect every transport team with heavy troops, and we will have a chance to make a move sooner or later."

Kress hummed, turned and was about to leave.After taking two steps, he couldn't help turning his head and said, "My lord, is it really okay for us to do this?"

"What?" Sol stopped counting and looked at him strangely.

Kress scratched his head and said: "After all, we are the army of the kingdom. It seems a bit... Everyone thinks it is better to fight the enemy with real swords and guns."

Sol couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Sure enough, the propaganda work was not done well. These guys don't know what guerrilla warfare is. It seems that there is a chance to educate them.

He deliberately said: "A real fight? I also think this is a good idea."

"Really?" Kress exclaimed.

Saul nodded: "Of course, we dared to challenge them with only 80 people in the face of enemies everywhere, and finally died in battle with honor. I think we will definitely be buried as heroes after we die, say Maybe the bard will change our deeds into poetry and spread it everywhere."

No matter how stupid Kress was, he could tell that Sol was talking ironically. His face was flushed red, and he faltered: "My lord, I...I didn't mean that."

Saul asked back: "Then do you think that with our little manpower, in the current environment, if we fight the enemy head-on, besides the annihilation of the whole army, is there any other result?"

Kress shook his head dejectedly: "No."

"Then do you think it's a good idea for us to just hide but do nothing and let the enemy send those supplies to the front to deal with our army?" Saul asked again.

Kress buried his head lower: "Of course not..."

Sol secretly smiled in his heart, but said bitterly: "Kress, I understand your feelings very well, but in different situations, we must have different coping methods. Now we are in an enemy situation and we have few manpower. Then attacking the enemy's weak points is the best way."

"Look, if we attack the transport troops and disrupt their logistical supplies, it will definitely affect the frontline enemies, thereby creating a chance for our army to defeat the enemy. Isn't this the same as attacking the enemy?"

As he said that, Sol stood up abruptly, and said impassionedly: "Maybe we will be misunderstood by the world, maybe we will be ridiculed by others, but as long as we can defeat the enemy, all this is worth it. A real man will not care about others view, do you understand, Kress."

The sunlight from the roof shone on Sol, making his proud body look extremely stalwart.He has a resolute face, with one hand covering his chest, and his eyes are filled with a fearless spirit that will never turn back. It seems that he will not back down even in the face of criticism.

Kress was completely stunned!touched!Was shocked!
It turns out that our lord lord has such an awareness, this, this is the real man.

Facing Thor's "tallness", he felt so small, and at the same time felt ashamed that he doubted the intention of the lord's move.

I really shouldn't have thought that the lord robbed the convoy out of greed.It turned out that he had already held the heart of being misunderstood by the world, and silently dedicated his strength to defeat the enemy.

Kress was ashamed: "My lord, it turns out that I have misunderstood you all this time. I am going to tell everyone how meaningful what we are doing now is."

Sol patted him on the shoulder wordlessly, with an expression of "no need to say anything": "Remember, don't care about other people's eyes, and be proud of it."

"I see." Kress nodded resolutely.

As he said that, he suddenly showed a puzzled expression: "But since it is for the purpose of attacking the enemy, it is enough to just grab the necessary supplies and destroy the rest. Why do you want us to spare no effort to grab so many things and store them up?" ?”

"Uh..." Saul's movements froze.

Kress rested his chin in one hand, looked at the loot piled up in the room and said, "Isn't it strange that we won't be able to take so many things if we want to evacuate?"

"Well, the inside story is actually very complicated..." Thor felt his forehead start to sweat.

"Especially these Lulin gold coins, I really don't understand why you insist on us carrying them up the mountain. You must know that these things can't be eaten or drunk, and we can't even find a place to spend them." Finally, Kress pointed to the wooden house A pile of things in the corner.

A few days ago, they robbed a convoy and found a batch of military pay sent to the front line, which looked like 50 gold coins.But the trouble is, it's all Lulin's currency, and it can't be used in Dinar at all.

So everyone decided to throw away these useless things, but Saul strongly opposed it and insisted on taking them away.In the end, Kress had no choice but to follow him, find a few strong defenders, and carried them to the cottage after being exhausted.

Sol treasured this windfall.He asked someone to use straw to tie some weird containers that were round and shaped like beer barrels, and then put the gold coins in them, and then personally affixed a seal, and wrote three large characters: military funds.

Hearing Kress mentioning it at this moment, he could only laugh and say, "Ahaha, you said these things, of course I did it on purpose."

"What's the purpose? The money is of no use to us, it just takes up space." Kress asked.

Saul, of course, could not tell him that he had left the money with the intention of transporting it back to Lovell someday so that Manson could remelt it and cast it into gold bricks.As for the other things in the warehouse, it was all out of a greedy mentality of not grabbing the white or grabbing it, regardless of whether it was useful or not.

"Hmph, Kress, you really are too naive." Sol's eyes flashed sharply.

"What, what?" Kress was taken aback.

"Hoohoo, do you know what war is? War is not more than people, nor is it better than whose weapon is better. In the final analysis, it is about economy. Economy, economy, is money, do you understand? As long as we have money, we You can take the initiative in the war, which is very crucial to winning the final victory."

"...I don't understand, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with what I asked you?"

"Tsk, I almost fooled it." Sol turned his head unwillingly.

Kress was speechless: "My lord, I suddenly feel that what you just said is a lie..."

"Okay, okay, leave me alone, are you the lord or am I the lord? Hurry up and get on with your promising job as a guerrilla." Saul couldn't help but push Kress out because he was at a loss for words.

Closing the door behind his back, Sol let out a long sigh of relief.He is a little strange, is it because I haven't practiced too much recently?Why can't even a brainless guy like Kress be fooled.

Thinking of this, his eyes fell on the round "beer barrels" in the corner of the warehouse, and his eyes immediately became extremely gentle.

Walking over to paw on the barrel like a koala, Sol put his fingers in through the cracks in the straw, fiddled with the finely minted gold coins inside, and sighed contentedly.

"Oh, that really warms my heart."
