Chapter 111: The Calm in the Eye of the Storm (Part 2)
In a very short time, seven Bimon warriors in black iron armor rushed into the military account one after another, reporting the urgent military situation on the front line to the golden Bimon.
Most of the frontline reports were requests for support, and only one was an explanation of the situation. The golden Bimon sitting in the main seat also approved all the support requests.
"Kam, calculate how many reserve troops we have left that haven't been deployed." After handling these battle reports, the somewhat fatigued Huang Jin Bimon leaned back and asked the Da Di Bimon beside him.
"There are less than 100,000 wolves and centaurs who have not yet taken the battlefield, and as for the Mongol army, it's around 6,000." The golden Mongol asked this question, and the earth Mongol known as Kam immediately gave an answer without any hesitation.
"Alas, we've only been fighting for seven days and the reserve troops have already been depleted to this extent. The upcoming battles will be tough to fight." The Golden Armored Warrior let out a long sigh and said with some helplessness.
"How can the front line be so tense?" Just as Da Di was about to say something, a voice from outside the tent interrupted him.
Fourth Uncle
"I've seen the five elders below." As soon as the words fell, a black-clothed old man with a straight waist walked into the military account. After seeing this old man, Huang Jin Bimon only stood up and greeted him casually, while Da Di Bimon immediately approached the old man and bowed his head in courtesy.
"Ah, Kamu, you're also someone I've watched grow up, no need to be so formal." The old man stretched out his hand and helped the bowing Daichi up, instructing him in a calm tone.
"Yes, elder." Upon hearing the old man's words, Da Di revealed a hint of a smile on his face, but still remained very respectful.
"Gaia, how is the front line?" Old Lie Yan said to that Gaia after finishing speaking, and casually sat down on a wooden chair on the left side of the large wooden table. He said to the standing Huang Jin Mo: "See this, that Huang Jin Mo and Da Di Mo also returned to their original seats."
The golden Bimon, also known as the Great General, was naturally Liu Yu's father Gaiya. This old fierce flame Bimon was called Fourth Uncle by Gaiya and Fifth Elder by that Earth Bimon, who was of course Liu Yu's fourth grandfather, Aurelio Wei Lin.
"The Fandor Empire has mobilized nearly a million regular troops and tens of thousands of Imperial Guards, launching an all-out attack on our vital positions everywhere. The battles in many places are extremely fierce, and in just a few days, I've almost exhausted the reserve forces at my disposal."
Of course, we and the Empire of Fandor have fought countless battles, their offensives are strong, but not enough to make me too worried.
But the most serious thing is that my father sent me a message yesterday, saying that this year's autumn harvest in our country is not good, and many places have already been confirmed to be poor. When talking about the domestic grain yield, Gaya's eyes showed a worried look.
"This, I remember in the past few years were all small harvests, the national treasury and the granaries of various tribes still had some stored grain, when we ambushed Sas Province, didn't that little Ptolemy kid specially bring back a lot of grain? I think this winter should still be passable."
"I know this, but now the front line has more than 500,000 troops from the kingdom and 2 million mobilized vassal tribes. Such a team consumes food every day..."
Report to Commander-in-Chief, Fifth Division's battle report at Tora Mountain Pass.
"Reporting to you, General Di La, today at noon, tens of thousands of enemy vanguard troops launched an attack on our army. After a fierce battle that lasted for four hours, we managed to repel the enemy forces. In this battle, our army killed several thousand enemies and suffered over a thousand casualties ourselves. However, the enemy still has a large number of reserve troops that have not been deployed yet. With continuous battles for several days, our army is exhausted. I specially request for reinforcements, please grant permission, General."
Gaia was about to say something to Aurelio when another Bimon warrior, clad in black iron armor, burst into the military tent with the latest battle report from the front lines, drawing their attention. After obtaining Gaia's nod of approval, this Bimon warrior loudly read out the contents of the battle report in his hand.
"Tora Mountain Pass..." Gaea muttered to herself, a hint of contemplation on her face. She quickly flipped through the maps on the large wooden table in front of her and found the location of the mountain pass mentioned in the battle report.
"Kam, draft an order to have the 12th Division's 1st Regiment, stationed in the Ternan Mountains, bring up eight thousand veteran Wolf Tribe soldiers to immediately support Eri." A moment later, Gaea had made her decision.
"Sir, in the battle report of these five days, the enemy army that attacked the Tora Mountain Pass was mainly composed of Imperial Guards, and the direct troops of the legion were not used at all. With such a large pressure, I'm afraid this small reinforcement will not be enough." Camu carefully asked back after hearing Gaya's order.
"What do you mean?" Gaia looked at this subordinate and asked very seriously.
"Send both the 12th Division and the Ninth Wolf Corps." Kalm said without hesitation.
"No way, if the 12th Division and the 9th Corps all go to Tora Mountain Pass, what about Emal Benden Fortress?" As soon as Gaya heard Kam's suggestion, he immediately vetoed it.
"Wait..." Kam was about to argue, but Gaya raised her hand to signal him to stop.
"We have repaired all the roads leading to various places in the mountainous areas, and all the reserve troops have also been equipped with horses. If the Tuo La Mountain Pass really can't hold on, I can still send troops to support them."
The 12th Division and the 9th Corps were originally prepared for two places, Tora Mountain Pass and El Mahrak Fort. If they are sent to one place, what about the other?
"Moreover, you also understand the importance of Cain's side. Although his power in hand is already very strong, and the battle reports for the past few days have said that no one has gone to attack him, but I still don't feel at ease." Gaia looked at the various marks on the map and stated her reason.
"Uh, that's what the adults say, but I'm worried that the enemies on the other side are too strong, and there's a risk of losing at the Tora Mountain Pass." Kalm said with a hint of unease after hearing Gaia's explanation.
"I think it's like this, on Cain's side there are Hutaiwei and the six elders, ten elders, Tyro elder, plus he himself is a Dou Zun, so in total there are five 9th stage strongmen over there. I'm just idle here anyway, I'll go to Eri's side instead."
Aurelio spoke out his own thoughts after Gaya and Kam had finished discussing the military situation on the front line.
"Uh-huh, let's do it as Fourth Uncle said. However, I think we can add a bit more military strength, Delri." Gaia thought for a moment and agreed with Aurelio's opinion, and shouted out of the tent.
A golden-haired warrior, clad in black iron armor and wearing a silver-white long sword at his waist, with two silver-white bow-and-arrow-shaped medals on his chest, rushed into the military tent. He stood still and bowed to Gaea.
"You leave the first fire for me, and assign the other nine fires to the five elders, follow him to Tuo La Mountain Pass to assist the garrison there."
"Yes, sir." The golden-haired warrior immediately responded to Gaia's command and stood up, preparing to leave.
"Wait." Aurelio stopped the Bamun warrior who had just received Gaea's orders.
"Gaia, you've sent all the Imperial Guards to me, don't you have enough troops left in your hands?" Aurelio straightened up from his chair and looked at Gaia.
"It won't be a problem, Fourth Uncle. One of the battalions from our division is stationed just fifty miles away, and I can summon them at any time." Gaia smiled slightly to reassure Aurelio.
"Alright then."
Half a unit of Aisu later, the elite black armored cavalry and an old Lieren Bei Mong in a brown long gown took advantage of the moonlight to quickly advance southeast along the beast tribe's highway.
When the spacetime shift occurred in Gaia, sending his fourth uncle away, in the provincial capital of Sas Province, Banan City, which was thousands of miles away from him. In a secret room within the tall Governor's Mansion in the city center, an old man wearing a sky-blue long gown with intricate embroidery on his chest was chatting with a middle-aged man wearing a light blue long gown with a gentle and elegant face.
"Your Highness, are you satisfied with the gift from last night?" The old man asked in a low voice, a hint of a smile flashing across his face.
