[Green Valley]

[Felt's troops entered Midoriya the second day]

Major Ald Felt didn't care much about it when the first deserter with bad news appeared outside Green Valley town in the morning.

Even though the deserter cried in tears and sweared that he had not lie, Major Felt just ordered him to be detained alone and left for future disposal.

Because in Major Felt's opinion, deserters are not trustworthy - in order to escape military law punishment, they can make up any exaggerated and bizarre stories; their poisonous oaths have no meaning, they have become deserters, can they still expect them to have a sense of honor?

More importantly, compared to the bad news from deserters, Major Felt is now having a more infuriating problem.

As the rebels released all the prisoners with "good intention", Felt's troops were instantly restored to six brigades, with a scale of nearly 3,000 people.

Among them, the released prisoners not only lost their weapons, clothes and shoes, but also their will and dignity were taken away. If they want to regain their combat power, they must not only fill their stomachs, but also fill their self-esteem.

However, the reality is that the major cannot even fill their stomachs.

No matter whether the soldier can fight or not, he still needs to eat, drink, and have a place to live.

Nearly 3,000 more soldiers were out of Lugu Town who wanted to eat, drink and live in, causing the already small town to be overwhelmed.

In addition, when the rebels withdrew from Green Valley, they plundered all the grain reserves of the townsmen and the public treasury reserves. Therefore, the Felt troops, which had lost all their supplies, had just entered Green Valley and were immediately in a dilemma of food being cut off.

The hungry soldiers broke into the residents' homes, searched roughly and fed food, while the officers could only turn a blind eye. But even if the soldiers acquiesced to turn Green Valley into the sky and find out all the food hidden by the residents, a small town would not be able to meet the needs of three thousand people.

Taking advantage of the fact that the morale of the army had not been completely smoothed, Felt organized more than ten small patrols that day and sent them to nearby farms to collect supplies.

As a result, all the soldiers who stepped out of Green Valley Town went and went back.

At the same time, the residents of Green Valley Town fled one after another.

At first, just a few families packed up the fine and soft things and left the town to join their relatives and friends in the chaos. However, as the panic spread rapidly, many townsmen even wanted nothing, hoping to escape from Green Valley as soon as possible.

No one dares to stay in the "siege" of thousands of hungry, desperate and anxious soldiers in this circle for even a second.

On the one hand, Felt acquiesced to the townspeople to escape because civilians also have to eat and drink, and one civilian is less than one mouth.

On the other hand, the loss of property was immediately triggered a fight among the soldiers, and even the military police could not stop it.

Just when Felt was overwhelmed, a deserter who shouted that "our army was defeated" appeared outside the town of Midoriya, which made Felt suspicious.

All signs indicate that there are still rebel activities around Green Valley. The disappearance of the patrol team is evidence, and the messengers sent to Maple Stone City have not been heard from yet is another evidence.

How can a deserter pass through the rebel blockade?

Major Felt vaguely felt that there was a fraud, but he did not tell his subordinates clearly that "a conspiracy to wipe out our army" is much more terrifying than "a deserter full of lies".

Before there was no conclusive evidence, Felt didn't want to spread more panic in the army.

...

In the afternoon, when the second deserter appeared outside Green Valley, Major Felt was organizing the second batch of grain collection patrols.

After hearing the confession of the second deserter, Major Felt's attitude changed from disdain to doubt.

Because unlike the first deserter who spoke in a messy manner, the second deserter clearly stated his troops, ranks and positions, and also said the location and process of the battle, unlike the one made up of a nonsense.

Let him question each other with the first deserter, except for some small details, most of the information can be confirmed.

But no matter how detailed the details of the confession of the second deserter were, Ald Felt could never believe that Colonel Najib was the main force commanded by Colonel Saner would be defeated.

Because I searched all the Republic of Paratu, no one would know better than Felt what kind of capital Speaker Grove Magnus had this time.

The reinforcements provided by the Kings Castle to Colonel Sanel were not a legion on the books - that was the number for the rebels on the other side, but twenty brigades and two legions.

These include ten brigades of the Sixth Army, four main brigades of the Fifth Army, and the reserve supplementary troops of the six brigades.

At present, the Fifth Legion left behind in the Kings Castle is actually only an empty shell. In order to hide this as much as possible, the four brigades of the Fifth Legion used the flags and numbers of the Sixth Legion when boarding the ship.

With amazing courage, Grove Magnus sent all field troops to the Xinkendi Province. The only and clear purpose was to wipe out the Xinkendi rebels in one fell swoop and completely eliminate hidden dangers within the New Republic.

"How could he lose?" Major Felt was puzzled: "How could he lose?"

Felt soon had a reasonable speculation: what the two deserters who fled to Green Valley described were probably just the outpost battle before the main forces of the two armies clashed.

In any case, Felt always believed that even if Colonel Najib and Colonel Saner really suffered defeat, they had enough strength to retreat and reorganize and look for an opportunity to launch a second decisive battle.

The task of the Felt army is to firmly nail the rebels' retreat so that they can't escape.

...

At night, the third "deserter" appeared outside the town of Green Valley - to be precise, it was not a fleeing "soldier", but an officer.

"I am Lieutenant Bartori of the Fifth Legion. The nineteenth period, the cavalry department."

The officer who was brought to Major Felt only said a few words, then stopped speaking, but just looked at the Major steadily.

Felt waved his hand with a stern face, signaling the recorder and the guards to leave.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! When the gap between the door panel and the door frame disappeared, Felt rushed to the officer who claimed to be Lieutenant Bartori, grabbed the latter's shoulder tightly, and asked in shock and anxiously: "What's going on [the old words]?"

Lieutenant Bartori's expression became dark, and his shoulders and spine collapsed: "[Old Words] were defeated."

"[Old Word] I know I lost." Major Felt gritted his teeth and squeezed out from the gaps between his teeth and roared: "[Old Word] I'm asking you how much loss is!"

The lieutenant's Adam's apple flipped up and down with difficulty: "[Old words] were wiped out."

"[Old Words] The entire army was wiped out?" Felt only felt like a heavy cannon was exploding on his forehead. Everything around him became trance and unreal, and a sense of powerlessness spread from his toes to his head. He no longer knew what else to ask: "The entire army was wiped out? How could the entire army be wiped out?"

This time it was Bartori's turn to hold the major who was almost unstable, and the lieutenant whispered: "[Old Words] The rebels fought very tenaciously... but we still had the upper hand... But at the last moment, the rebels of Tiefeng County appeared on our flanks and sneaked into our camp at the same time..."

Felt could not hear what the other party was saying. His mind was completely occupied by the loss of the main force of the parliamentary army and the disastrous consequences it would cause. The lieutenant's voice seemed to be coming from another world.

But vaguely, Felt heard a word from the illusory syllables:

"Tiefeng County Rebels".

"[Old Words] Tiefeng County Rebels? How could it be Tiefeng County Rebels?!" Major Felt suddenly pushed the lieutenant away, took a few steps back and pulled out his sword, and shouted loudly: "[Old Words] Tiefeng County Rebels were still here yesterday! You are lying! Who sent you?!"

"[Old Word] The Tiefeng County Army was still in Green Valley yesterday?" Lieutenant Bartori was even more surprised than the major: "[Old Word] But how could that... the one who appeared on the flanks of our army and the one who attacked the camp was indeed the rebels of the Tiefeng County. The ghost of the Styx also appeared on the battlefield, and he went into battle himself..."

Halfway through the words, Lieutenant Bartori couldn't help but shivered. He growled, punched his leg, raised his head and looked straight at the major: "[Old Word] How the Iron Peak County Army arrived at the battlefield is no longer important, Major Felt!"

"[Old Word] What's the important thing?" Felt was still holding the sword tightly, his eyes full of regret, self-blame and grievance: "[Old Word] The rebels in Tiefeng County were still in Green Valley yesterday! I swear! I just fought a battle with them!"

"[Old Word] I believe you, Major." Lieutenant Bartouri walked forward slowly and carefully took the sword from Felt: "[Old Word] I believe you."

Felt fell down on the chair.

"[Old Word] But the main battle has ended, and the rebels are coming toward Green Valley." Lieutenant Bartori said in a deep voice: "[Old Word] If your troops are also eliminated, Maple Stone City and Maple Leaf Fort will have no troops available, and the new land province will also completely fall into the hands of the rebels."

Lieutenant Bartori stared at the major's eyes and said word by word: "[Old words] Your men are now the last loyal troops in the New Reclamation Province!"

...

[Green Valley]

[The third day of the Felt army entering Green Valley Town]

The sun had just emerged, and a small gap was opened to the north gate of Green Valley Town.

From the crack of the door that could only accommodate one person, a small group of people squeezed out one after another.

When the last man's ankle was pulled out between the two door panels, the heavy door immediately closed, as if he was afraid that something would take the opportunity to come in.

This small group of people simply arranged a team outside the north gate. More than 40 brown-clothed soldiers were led by an officer and secretly went to the downstream village.

The orders the soldiers received were simple - collecting grain.

However, there are also some requirements for collecting grain: you cannot go in broad daylight, as it will be discovered by the villagers; you should not be too many people sent out at one time, otherwise the villagers will be alarmed.

Half a hundred men's team is just right, neither too much nor too little. It is not eye-catching, but also enough to let any farmer who wants to resist dispel his thoughts.

In addition, there was a military officer leading the team this time, and the soldiers were all confident and vowed to have a full meal.

However, although the brown-clothed soldiers thought their actions were secret enough, they had been under strict surveillance since the moment they walked out of Green Valley.

A two-person observation post arranged outside Green Valley Town immediately discovered their movements. One of the sentries stayed to continue monitoring, while the other sentry retreated quietly.

It was only after retreating a mile away that the sentry pulled out the saddle-mounted mount from the bushes and rushed upstream with a fast horse.

The sentry crossed the forest and finally dismounted outside a valley northwest of Green Valley Town and ran into the valley with his mount.

In the valley, about a hundred horses were looking for food freely, and there were also hundreds of saddle-ready war horses in the temporary horse railing made of wood to bury their heads to eat.

There were no campfires in the valley, and there were no tents. On a small flat ground at the bottom of the valley, there were all over the Tiefeng County cavalry sleeping in their clothes, making people have nowhere to step on.

However, the cavalry slept very hard. Even if they were accidentally stepped on by the sentry, they just turned over and continued to sleep.

In the corner of the camp, the sentry found the commanders of the cavalry unit: Vahika Morozov and Pierre Mitchell.

The Sentinel immediately reported the emergency military information, but the reactions of the two commanders were unexpectedly dull. After listening to the report briefly, he asked the Sentinel to go back and continue to monitor.

"Really." Vahika was yawning while looking for lice in her clothes, and waited for the sentry to walk away before speaking: "How come he has the leisure to slaughter the common people?"

"If Felt is determined to withdraw Maple Stone City." Pierre lowered his head and outlined it on the map. His face was very bad, but his eyes were bright: "He needs supplies even more."

Vahika sucked his nose hard and muttered in a low voice: "If you want me to tell me, you shouldn't let the deserters go to report the news. When the centurion comes back, you still want to pinch him as much as you want? Now, he is anxious and wants to run away, what should I do?"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Pierre rolled up the map and replied calmly: "Let them know the news of the defeat of the main force, which can undermine their morale."

"Okay, okay, you have the final say anyway." Vahika shook her clothes a few times, then put them back on her body, and urged her like begging for mercy: "Just say what to do."
