When Li Yu returned to Bratis, he found that the atmosphere in the army was a little tense. He was a little surprised and asked the female lord, "Did you lose the battle?"
"We won." Miss Rabbit said with a bitter face.
"Then why are you like this?"
"Because Marquis Cullen has been killed, and we are now in big trouble."
The female lord then told Li Yu everything that had happened in the past two days, and finally added, "The food we brought is only enough for three days. I have sent a small team to hunt in the nearby woods."
"The harvest from hunting is not enough to feed so many people."
"I know, but I have no choice now. It's better to find some food." Miss Rabbit said, "I also asked Greta to see if her mouse friend could give us some food."
"But Greta said food is also very valuable to those rats, and I couldn't buy it even if I wanted to spend money."
The female lord thought of something else and looked at Li Yu expectantly, "Prophet Merlin, I remember that you can bring food here from the Kingdom of God, right?"
"It's possible, but what I can bring each time is limited, and it's impossible to feed thousands of people." Li Yu said.
Miss Rabbit was really panicking now. She regarded Li Yu as the last straw. If Li Yu couldn't do anything, then they would be really in danger this time.
Although the female lord has been thinking about losing some fat on her belly, it is not such a reduction.
Fortunately, she soon heard Li Yu say again, "So you need food now?"
"That's right. Those dwarves have blocked our way back. Morse has also rebelled. No one will provide us with supplies. In a few days, the soldiers will all starve."
Miss Rabbit's eyes showed hope again, as if she was hoping that someone could perform a miracle again and conjure a large amount of food out of thin air.
And Li Yu did not disappoint her.
"You still have those ten savage captives in your hands. Ask someone to bring them over. I have something to ask them."

Red Beard and Iron Spear have been a bit hard to understand these past two days.
First, the imperial army in the valley was released, but the imperial people around them all looked furious.
There were still people who wanted to rush over and chop them, but fortunately they were stopped by the guards.
But on the second day, the atmosphere in the camp was different again. Redbeard saw many cavalrymen entering the mountains and forests.
In his opinion, this was no different than committing suicide. Those Imperial people knew nothing about this mountain.
Because the dwarves have formed an alliance with them, they can move freely here. Once the two sides fight, there will be no suspense about who will win.
I don't know who the commander of this imperial army is, who would make such a stupid mistake.
However, after Redbeard laughed at the Imperials, he was not happy, because he was almost killed last night. If he lost this battle again, he and Iron Spear would probably not escape death as prisoners.
Therefore, the two of them looked at me and I looked at you, both looking worried.
Red Beard was always paying attention to the movements of the guards, and then he saw those people sneaking away.
Yes, that's right, the guards actually stopped watching them and escaped by themselves.
Redbeard was so confused that he thought the dwarves had already won the battle, and he swore to the iron spear beside him that they would be saved this time.
If he hadn't been tied to the wooden stake, Redbeard would have jumped up and grabbed the guy, happily joining in the pursuit of the Imperials.
However, the two waited for a long time, but the legendary savior did not appear.
The Imperials just replaced a new batch of guards to look after them, and this time the guards looked elite, wearing dark armor and holding a black shield in their hands.
So Red Beard and Iron Spear also suppressed their eagerness to move, and did not dare to make any small moves.
Until dusk, the cavalry who had gone out gradually returned one after another. The number of people was not much reduced compared with the last time, and each one of them was smiling and returned with a full load.
Redbeard's eyes widened, wondering if he had seen something wrong. This imperial army actually fought a beautiful victory in the mountains!
When the food was distributed in the evening, Red Beard and Iron Spear discovered that half of the bread distributed to them was missing.
The two of them were completely confused, because they had never had much contact with the Imperial people before. I wonder if it was the tradition here that after winning a battle, they would torture the captives to add to the fun.
And by the next day, they got even less food, only a small piece of bread, only the size of two fingers.
Let alone two people eating it, even if only one person eats it, it will not be enough to fill the stomach.
After encountering the food crisis, the female lord not only found ways to open source for hunting, she also did not forget to use her stingy talent and find ways to save money.
However, in order not to cause panic, she did not take action to ration the soldiers for the time being. She only reduced the food distributed to the prisoners, and it was still significantly reduced.
The female lord even considered not feeding those savages from tonight.
Therefore, when Red Beard and Iron Spear were brought, their chests were pressed against their backs with hunger, and Iron Spear couldn't help but cursed directly.
She was completely willing to give up, because if she continued like this, she would starve to death even if she wasn't beheaded.
With her taking the lead, the other savages also started to curse together.
However, after listening to it for a while, Li Yu found that so many of them only used a few vulgar words over and over again, which was far less exciting than the Lakers Warriors scolding group.
Li Yu waited until these savages scolded him, and then he said calmly, "You can have food if you want it, but you have to earn it yourself. Whoever can answer my question first, I will give him a piece of bread."
As Li Yu opened his mouth, all the savages seemed to have their necks strangled and could no longer make a sound.
Redbeard looked like he had seen a ghost. After a long time, he stammered, "Why, why can I understand you?"
"Not only that, I can also understand what you say." Li Yu said, and then glanced at the iron spear beside him, "Your brother is right, I have no interest in female savages."
Iron Spear opened his mouth wide, "Then... then why are you leaning towards me?"
"I mainly want to hear if you have any valuable information. However, it seems that the dwarves are only using you and do not really regard you as allies."
After Li Yu finished speaking, he glanced at the prisoners in front of him again, "Okay, I'm going to start asking questions. Who can tell me where your tribe is?"
