The ancient black dragon who led these more than 20 giant dragons to Dragon Scale Castle was naturally Moriel. When Moriel turned into a human form and landed on the ground, the officers who stayed behind at Dragon Scale Castle soon caught up and saluted.
Moriel didn't say much nonsense. She straightened her armor and asked the officer who came up:
"Are you ready for what Mr. Richard told you?"
"Report to the general that the 500,000 kilograms of grain have been bundled, and tens of thousands of kilograms of cured meat and dried fish have also been barreled and placed in the warehouse for pickup at any time."
The officers left behind at Dragon Scale Castle commanded tens of thousands of people, half a legion of troops, and had the strength of a great knight. In fact, they were barely able to rank among the ranks of senior officers.
But he still kept his posture very low in front of Moriel. He was even a little frightened when facing Moriel. Now he was just trying to show his composure.
Moriel has never deliberately concealed her ability to transform into a dragon, so everyone in the Dragon Scale Castle knows that General Moriel's true identity is a dragon, commanding all the dragons under Lord Richard.
The officers left behind at Dragonscale Castle naturally kept a very low profile when facing Moriel, the dragon general. According to the kingdom's consistent attitude towards dragons, Moriel's status in the entire kingdom should also be at the top.
"Where's the dragon's food?"
"It's all ready. It's all top-quality fresh beef and stuffed egg pancakes."
"Push the food up!"
After that, the general who stayed behind at Dragon Scale Castle ordered his men to push up the food prepared for the giant dragon. Although the giant dragon basically eats meat, it does not need to only eat meat. There are more than 20 giant dragons.
The all-you-can-eat Long Dun Dun fresh beef is a bit luxurious.
Every meal of the dragon in Richard's hand consists of a fresh cow and egg pancakes. Although for the dragon, the egg pancakes are not as delicious as fresh beef, but compared to the dragons who serve the kingdom,
The dragons under Richard's command had no right to be picky eaters, so they were all used as transport teams.
Thousands of soldiers pushed carts bringing fresh beef and stuffed cakes to the giant dragon one after another. Under the command of Moriel, the dragons were like big dogs waiting for food, waiting for the soldiers to put the dining cart away.
, Moriel made a gesture and then started to move towards the food in front of her.
The whole place was filled with the sound of giant dragons chewing food. If you look carefully, you will find that there is an extra dining cart filled with food on the school grounds. The garrison officer of Dragon Scale Castle looked at the extra dining cart and then looked at it again.
Moriel, who was expressionless in front of her, finally didn't have the courage to ask.
Under Moriel's gaze, the dragons did not enjoy the food slowly, but wolfed down the food in front of them in less than five minutes.
Next, Moriel made another gesture, and the dragons who had just finished enjoying the food immediately leaned down and tried their best to flatten their backs to the ground.
The officers on the side opened their mouths in shock. The impression left on them by the golden dragon of the kingdom was that it was very arrogant. It raised its head almost all the time. Not to mention such an action of almost four limbs lying on the ground, it was just unfamiliar.
People may be offended if they touch them casually, and it is easy to swallow people when they are angry. Not to mention punishment, the kingdom has to try its best to appease the dragons. Now these dragons are simply obedient and a bit unseemly.
.
"What are you waiting for? Why don't you act quickly? Master Richard is still waiting."
The garrison officer of Dragon Scale Castle was stunned and did not issue the military order in time. Moriel, who was on the side, had no patience and quickly urged her. She had no time to delay here. She had to quickly return to the Northern Route Army with food.
Woolen cloth.
"Quick! Load the food!"
After being urged by Moriel, the garrison officer reacted and quickly ordered his soldiers to fasten the bundled grain and fodder to the dragon's back.
"Team...Captain, do we really want to tie something to the dragon?"
Although they were prepared in advance and the garrison officer also issued the order, the soldiers responsible for carrying the grain and grass felt a little offended at the thought of letting the giant dragon do the hard work of the cattle and horses. Although they pushed the cart forward, they still felt a little drummed in their hearts.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't you see that the giant dragon is lying down? There is nothing to be afraid of. If you dare to take a step back, believe it or not, the General will immediately drag you out and chop you down."
"Don't dare, don't dare."
After being scolded by the team leader, the soldier pushing the cart did not dare to say anything and could only continue pushing the cart honestly.
In fact, the captain didn't feel at ease, but because of the order, he could only bite the bullet and get close to the dragon...
"Take the rope tighter!"
"Don't drop things!"
"I can add two more bundles here!"
"one two three!"
"Let's work hard together!"
After the initial trepidation and finding that the giant dragon really wouldn't lose its temper, the soldiers finally got bold enough to start tying the bundles of food and grass to the dragon's body, in order to prevent the large bundles of food and grass from falling off in mid-air.
, the soldiers hung the food and grass on the dragon and fixed it several times with strong hemp ropes.
After the soldiers became bolder, they moved faster. Next to each giant dragon was a small team of more than a dozen soldiers helping to hang up the food. With mutual cooperation, the prepared food and grass were quickly hung on the dragon.
On the body.
"Okay, let them all move away!"
"Yes, General Moriel!"
"Everyone, leave the school grounds!"
The garrison officer gave an order, and the soldiers on the campus dispersed one after another. Two minutes later, only more than twenty giant dragons with supplies hanging on their bodies were left.
"Roar!"
With a dragon roar, Moriel's head sprouted horns, and scales began to grow on her body. After a few seconds, she transformed into a huge black dragon in front of the garrison, waved her flesh wings a few times and flew into the air.
The remaining dragons also flapped their wings and followed Moriel towards the northern dense forest.
With the dragon's strength and size, it is easy to carry more than two thousand kilograms of food and grass at one time, and it will not have much impact on the flight. However, the larger ancient golden dragon is carried nearly three thousand kilograms of food and grass. Only Molly can carry it.
I feel relaxed, this is probably a privilege...
More than 20 giant dragons can transport nearly 50,000 kilograms of grain and grass in one round trip, which is enough to meet the needs of a hundred thousand troops for half a day. The distance from Dragon Scale Castle to the dense forest in the north is not far, even though the Northern Route Army has already marched such a long distance.
Time, but the dragon's flight only counts the straight-line distance. It only takes an hour for the dragon to fly over a straight-line distance of several hundred miles. Counting the rest time, one day is enough for the dragon to fly four or five times back and forth.
The grain and grass transported are enough for the army to last for two days. This efficiency is many times higher than relying on Dragon Scale Castle to organize civilians to transport it from the ground.
When the giant dragon gradually turned into small black dots in the sky, the garrison officer of Dragon Scale Castle lowered his head, thinking that the giant dragon could still be used in this way.
"Quick, stop staring at the sky. I feel like the dragon will come back soon if we send the next batch of food and grass!"
The garrison officer who came back to his senses immediately ordered his men to pile the next batch of grain and grass into a fixed position on the school field. After the dragon landed, he could complete the binding as quickly as possible and save some time.
…
Northern dense forest.
The generals of the Northern Route Army, represented by General Arsi, expressed the same sigh as the garrison officers of Dragon Scale Fort.
Can a giant dragon still be used like this?
Under the command of Moriel, giant dragons landed on the clearing created by General Arsi and his men in the forest. Under the astonishment of everyone, Moriel transformed into a human form and approached Arsi and other officers.
"What are you still doing? Let the soldiers go unload the food. According to Sir Richard's order, we have to make at least three trips today."
"yes!"
"Take both of them and unload the food from the dragon's back."
It’s not that Arsi and other generals couldn’t react, it’s not that they didn’t think of using dragons to transport supplies by air, but in the Golden Dragon Kingdom, no one except Richard could have such a bold idea, let alone put it into practice.
With the dragon's transcendent status in the Golden Dragon Kingdom, no one dares to ask the dragon to transport food and supplies. Not to mention that the arrogant golden dragon will not agree, and those dragon knights who are proud of the dragon cannot agree to their partners.
Being a transport worker, anyone who mentions this will either be sprayed to death by the dragon's breath, or be shot to death by the knight on the dragon's back before the dragon gets angry.
Only under Richard would the giant dragon have such a low status. When not fighting, he was assigned to the Chief of Ordnance as a biological source of high-temperature fire. When fighting, in addition to going on the field to kill the enemy, he also had to take on the task of replenishing the transportation team with food and supplies.
Come.
However, General Arsi's ability to accept the situation was relatively quick. At least other things were not as important as the army's lack of food. He quickly ordered his soldiers to go unload the food and grass tied to the dragon's back.
Under Moriel's order, the giant dragon also cooperated with the dragon scale castle by bending down its huge body, letting these ordinary soldiers climb on its back, unpacking the fixed bundles of food and grass and throwing them down, and then from below
The people were picked up and transported away and then distributed to various troops.
After all the food on the dragon's back was taken off, Moriel would lead them to Dragonscale Castle to transport the next batch of food and grass. After doing this several times, the logistical problems that plagued most of the army were easily solved by Richard.
Now, the Northern Route Army does not have to worry about food and grass problems at all.
…
Deep in the dense forest, there is an army of two thousand orcs who have been ambushing behind the humans. They used their familiarity with the dense forest to infiltrate in small groups and bypassed the men led by Gru from the path to the North Route Army.
Behind the butt.
It's just that with their military strength, they would definitely not dare to touch the Northern Route Army's butt unless absolutely necessary. Their mission is to wait for the human logistics troops and attack their logistics regardless of casualties, thus causing human food shortages.
It's just that they waited and waited for longer than expected and did not wait for the human logistics team to transport food and grass.
"General Resado, the scouts in front reported new news from the human side."
"What's the noise? Is it the human logistics force that appears?"
Hearing the scouts say that they had discovered human intentions, Lesado, the leader of the Orc Banner, who was responsible for leading the army to attack the human logistics team, became energetic.
"No, the human logistics team has not been discovered yet."
"what is that?"
Resado's tone dropped a few degrees, and he was obviously a little disappointed. He had been a little anxious waiting for the logistics team waiting for the humans for the past two days. According to his and Qilwei's initial estimates, humans were already starting to run out of food.
, the human logistics army should have started to arrive two days ago, but as of today, there is still no trace. On the bright side, we can only guess that the human logistics team was delayed on the road. Without them taking action, the human army will starve on its own.
.
"What's that?"
"Sir, the scout said it was about giant dragons. Human dragons are flying in the air very frequently today. He has seen human dragons flying several times."
The thick trees in the dense forest can block the prying eyes from the air, and also allow the people in the forest to see the sky without seeing it clearly. Except for the scouts who came out specifically to observe, the others have been lying in the forest hiding and have not discovered the giant dragon.
trend.
"Giant dragon? How many times did it fly back and forth?"
As soon as he heard that the new information discovered by the scouts was about the giant dragon, Resado immediately paid attention to it. He frowned, muttered a few words, and then suddenly came up with a terrible guess and asked again.
"Are you sure about the direction of the dragon's flight?"
"The scouts said the dragon was flying south."
"To the south?"
"Oops."
The south is the direction of Dragon Breath Pass, human territory. If it is for combat or reconnaissance, it is impossible for the dragon to fly south. Although this guess is also a bit outrageous, after eliminating the impossible option, the remaining
This possibility, no matter how unreasonable, turned out to be the correct result.
Human beings are actually transporting supplies through giant dragons, and the proud dragons are actually acting as oxen and horses...
"Quickly, send someone to report to General Qilwei immediately, saying that the plan has failed. Human beings have no logistics army at all. All their supplies are transported by dragons. We cannot destroy their logistics lines. Let General Qilwei make preparations in advance.
."
"Yes, General!"
Soon, his officers ordered several soldiers who were familiar with the road to report the news to Qilwei in batches from the alley.
As the messenger left, the officer on the side saw that Resado did not issue any other orders, and asked with some confusion:
"Then, General, what should we do next?"
In this orc officer's opinion, humans are transporting food and grass through giant dragons, and they have no way to interfere. The plan has actually failed. There is no point in staying here at this time, and they should withdraw next.
But Resado didn't think so. He was more aware of the dilemma faced by the orc army in the dense forest. It didn't make much sense for him to take these two thousand people back. Since he was already here, he had to prepare for a fight.
Although the scouts have been paying attention to the movements of the human logistics troops in the past few days, they also learned about the situation of the rear of the human army. The scouts discovered that there is always a small area of the marching human army where many senior officers gather. In addition to the soldiers protecting the surrounding
Some look weird and some are not many in number.
If there is a chance to get rid of these gathered human officers, maybe there will be some improvement in this war.
"We are not going back. Give me the order to let the army have a good rest and follow me to attack at night..."
