Chapter 341 Knowing but not reporting
Although Gui Chou's voice was not loud, it seemed to ignore the distance between the city wall and him. Every soldier on the city heard it very clearly, but the sound was not particularly deafening, but it just made people feel a little louder. If it was a single-sided soldier who heard the sound of Gui Chou, Frank's face couldn't help but become more and more gloomy when the entire city of Salint heard Gui Chou's voice.
The soldiers and generals of the Temple Legion turned their heads and looked at Frank, hoping to find the answer from his face. Naturally, they would not believe what the person under the city said, but why did Lord Frank not reply? Could it be...
"Your Excellency has finished?"
Gui Chou shouted under the city wall for a long time, but Frank kept watching coldly. When Gui Chou felt a little tired, the clerk next to the temple pope said coldly. Then Frank continued: "Slandering the temple is equivalent to blaspheming the gods. Under the light, there is no devil's obstacle. Instead, I advise you to see the situation in front of you so as not to miss your own life."
As soon as this was said, everyone heard something strange. At this time, Frank took a longbow, and then the feather arrow shot out with a beam of aurora. The target was Gui Chou. Frank's arrow obviously used all his strength. After the feather arrow was shot out, it exploded with a bang. The power of it can naturally be seen.
Seeing this, Gui Chou knew that he had to catch the arrow. He turned over and got off the horse and slapped his butt. The mount was frightened and left. Gui Chou pinched the single finger with both hands, and the ice crystal in his hand transformed, and Fang Tian Hua Ji reappeared. The sharp weapon in his hand drew a semicircle and then dragged it in a downward posture. He focused his mind and closed his eyes. Then Fang Tian Hua Ji turned around Gui Chou and thrust hard on the white light.
Suddenly, a loud bang came from Gui Chou's body. The light shone on Gui Chou's hand, Fang Tian Hua Ji halberd shattered into ice, and his body flew backwards, while the feather arrow in the aurora was pulled in another direction. After rolling in the air continuously, Gui Chou finally removed his strength, and then a muffled groan, a blood line overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
"The first clerk around the pope is indeed well-known, Gui Chou has learned it!" After saying that, Gui Chou bowed slightly and threw a small box out hard. After a whistle, the leaving war horse actually returned to Gui Chou's side. Everyone was shocked and Gui Chou had already turned over and rushed directly to the camp.
Since Gui Chou left, Frank naturally would not stay on the city wall for too long. In fact, when Frank returned to his tent, his face suddenly disappeared and became extremely pale. Then, like Gui Chou, a stream of blood also spilled out of the corner of his mouth. In the battle of the Babel Plain, he lost too much. The internal injury had not been cured after the past few days of recuperation. He had really used all his strength to force Gui Chou to leave, but it also caused old injuries. Fortunately, he pressed it with a secret method for the time being, and it only occurred after returning to the tent. Fortunately, his foundation was stable, and even if it was recurrence, the impact was not too great. However, what the Gui Chou Lord under the city said was worth pondering.
He didn't understand why Gui Chou said that the temple colluded with the demons, but this should not be groundless. Even if it was slander, it should be reasonable. Just put such a bad blame on the temple, and fools know that this is fake.
"Is there really a temple people colluding with the demons?" Frank said to himself, taking out a handkerchief to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and taking out a scroll from a box. Frank wrote at his desk and quickly. Time flies. When he finished writing, it was already late at night. He dared not delay too much. He directly asked the griffin cavalry to force himself to take off before the winged men of the crescent army came over, and then headed towards the Temple Cathedral of the Northern Holy Capital.
Seeing the scroll being sent out, Frank felt a little relieved. The combat power of the crescent army was elite, but the biggest threat was actually their leader, that is, the lord with a mask, Gui Chou. The strategy and tactics of this person were the first person Frank had seen and heard in his life. Although it was not completely certain, at least he was proficient in the characteristics of the troops under his command, and could also timely arrange tactics that were most suitable for battlefield changes. If he was not forced to siege ten times the force, he would probably not be able to take the army under this person's command.
After several days of reconnaissance, Frank could have confirmed that the cavalry of the Crescent Army was not dormant nearby, and there was only a less than 40,000 troops in front of them. It was ridiculous to think about it. Such a small amount of troops actually dared to surround him, and he did a good job, even he was deceived. The commander on the opposite side was a genius in performing.
Since he dared to challenge him under the city, he would give him some color! Unfortunately, before Frank's color was seen, Gui Chou had already started slapping the face.
The next morning, Frank received a military report that the logistics line was attacked and initially determined to be the crescent moon army. The soldiers who escaped by chance reported that they saw the blood-colored skull flag. This flag was only one crescent moon province in the Kotler Empire, and this is not the first time the logistics troops were ambushed. If counted, the attack has been ongoing for a while. The food and grass transported from the rear were either caught inexplicably at night or poisoned, but they could not find anyone. Then they blatantly attacked. There were not many cavalry on the other side, mainly infantry combat. There were about 10,000 people in total, but these 10,000 people were driven away like flies that smelled the stinky smell.
"Why don't you report?" Frank's forehead bulged with blue veins, and there was a hint of suppression on his face. The messenger didn't know what to say. For a moment, Frank turned his head and looked at the generals in the tent and asked in a low voice: "Why don't you report!" Frank's tone began to become angry as he spoke.
Seeing Frank get angry, two of the logistics generals kneeled on the ground and begged for mercy. Frank closed his eyes and sighed, "Don't report it, military law will deal with it."
It is a serious crime to hide and not repay. No matter which empire, it is a death sentence. There is no problem with Frank's handling of this. After pulling the two people out, the assistant of the two people, the adjutant, entered the big tent and became the new logistics general. As for those two generals, they would definitely not see the sunset today.
"How long can our food and grass last?" Frank naturally cared about how long his troops could last. After two new generals looked at each other, an older general whispered that he could last less than ten days.
When the generals in the tent heard this news, they were immediately infuriated. Some of them even walked out. The food and supplies were so empty that the original two generals concealed and refused to report it. Just executing them was considered a cheaper price. The generals who planned to go out were to make these two generals suffer some more before they died.
But Frank called them back, and the generals who went out were forced back by the guards. At this time, anger could not solve the problem, and it would even intensify the problem. After everyone calmed down a little, Frank asked coldly: "Who else do you have any news to me?"
The generals shook their heads together. They were responsible for leading the soldiers to fight. They basically would not interfere in the subsequent matters, so they naturally had nothing to hide. After seeing the expressions of the crowd, Frank nodded with satisfaction and said, "According to my plan, we should send troops today. The opponent's troops are not large, and we still have about 200,000 soldiers. The original one-to-three has become the current one-to-five. This ratio is enough for us to eliminate this rebel force, pass on my orders, and send troops in the afternoon."
The generals responded with a loud bang. Frank was about to let them leave, but he heard a loud noise outside the tent. Soon a soldier came to report: For some reason, a soldier suddenly started to hurt people, and now he was restrained, but suddenly, three people were already injured. This soldier was normal before, but suddenly became like this, which attracted the attention of many soldiers.
"Suddenly, hurt someone?" Frank murmured to himself for a few words, and asked the guards to bring the soldier in. The soldier was beaten to the point of being toothless, and the joints on his hands were forcibly dislocated. Apart from being able to stand, the soldier could basically do nothing.
"Sir, we found this thing in this soldier." A soldier from the Military Law Department presented a box as small as a palm. Although Frank had already guessed, he did not expect that the Demonic Core would actually appear in front of him.
After taking the small box, Frank knew that the soldier was no longer helpful, so he simply executed the two generals. However, facing the magic core in front of him, Frank couldn't help but worry a little more on his face. Now he was injured and could not destroy the magic core, but this magic core could not be placed here for a long time. Otherwise, even if he was not eroded, others might be tempted. This is really a hot potato.
Just as Frank was thinking about how this soldier could have a magic core, a messenger hurriedly came to report that the crescent moon city lord from yesterday actually came to the city to scold him again. What he said was still the same thing as yesterday. However, he did not call Frank directly, but threw down a small box and left, without even a single unnecessary nonsense in the middle.
Gui Chou has magic cores on his body! And the number is probably not small, but what surprised Frank the most was that this Gui Chou Lord was not eroded by the magic core. What happened? Many questions lingered in Frank's mind, but he knew that this was also an opportunity. He wanted to ask in front of him how this Gui Chou got such a large number of fat magic cores?
How could it be if it wasn't for collusion with the demons?
