"You want to keep an eye on him?"
"Do we need to hurry? It is more important for us to bring out the Northern Empire than to attack a fortress that is in the way. W
When Taryn said this, he changed the subject.
"By the way, let's talk about the dynamics of the Beidi Army. Things are really strange. The reinforcements should have arrived by now, but I can't see any signs of their actions."
Tyron thought it was weird.
"Did Luo's descendant really touch the emperor's nerve? Is that why the emperor wanted to kill him?
"Understood, sir. The movement and strength of the northern army will be reviewed by the intelligence department." The dark elf responded.
"Okay, do it well."
Tyron, who sent intelligence personnel, summoned the war mages and instructed them to continue monitoring the Trot Fortress.
If Lin Qing wanted to break their agreement and take any suspicious actions, then he asked them to shoot at Yao "Five Six Zero" immediately.
Lin Qing returned to the fortress, gathered his men, and told them about the conversation with the enemy commander.
"So, you're asking them to give us five days on top of surrender?"
Lin Qing nodded to the knight's question.
Anna raised her hand and asked with a cold face: "You don't really want to surrender, do you?"
"Yeah, just to buy some much-needed time."
"However, just surrendering doesn't seem so bad.
Hobart sighed and blurted it out.
He is one of the most dissatisfied with the empire and the army. What's more, he has no family, is alone, and has no deterrent to surrender.
"Of course, the choice can be made at any time. But, we're not that desperate to take it yet and you can relax because we're going to win."
"What the hell are you going to do? Please talk to us too."
Everyone nodded at Alex's dissatisfied request.
They knew that Lin Qing and Owen left the fortress the other night to do something. However, they didn't know what it was.
So when they were nervous, they hoped that Lin Qing could give them a detailed explanation.
Lin Qing stared into the eyes of those people, and explained the operation that had been kept secret before: "Now we are making preparations.
"Yes, we use magic to build dams and store water to sweep away the enemy." Lin Qing responded.
"Wow! This is amazing!"
Unlike Anna who admired him, most of the others couldn't understand.
This is because they don't know how magic works.
But they do know that building dams and getting enough water won't be easy.
"So, after five days of begging, you can collect the water?"
"That's right."
Facing Garp's question, Lin Qing nodded.
"But if the flow of the river decreases, won't they notice?"
"They're not going to be as paranoid as they are in the summer. Of course, the enemy can spy on us. But we're also prepared for those situations, so don't worry."
Lin Qing's expression was full of confidence.
Only then did the faces of the subordinates change.
There was anxiety about the operation and how it was going to work, but they couldn't help but trust this hard-working commander.
"So, what shall we do now?"
"Keep resting. Avoid doing anything that might raise the enemy's suspicion, such as repairing walls or repairing the titan. If the enemy attacks you, do the same and come back.
Of course, if they attack, the fortress army will fight back.
Those things won't happen, but the possibility of them can't be ignored.
"Guys, I need you to hold on a little longer. If we get through this crisis, we can walk with pride and we can shout before the royal family and the royal army.
Hearing Lin Qing's words, all the soldiers couldn't help laughing.
They hope that one day they will be able to yell in front of people who turn around when they need help.
bang! bang!
Light! Bang!
Early the next morning, the fighting started again.
But the army of the Volga Republic was small.
Intermittent shells fell from the fortress from time to time, and there were titan guards standing by the wall in front of the fortress, and they were all treated roughly.
When the Volga's army arrives, who doubts that Luke will keep his word if he does pretend to attack?
Only the soldiers who didn't know the details were puzzled by the Republic's ruthless attack.
"Why would those people do this?"
"Anyway, we don't need to fight back, do we?"
The power of the fortress was ecstatic, and the camp of the Volga Republic kept a close eye on it.
"The fortress won't fight back?"
"Yes, Commander. There are no signs of repairs on the walls, and no soldiers attacking us.
Tai Lun nodded to the teacher, and Rob, who had been staring at the fortress, suddenly asked,
"Where is the fortress commander Lin Qing?"
"He...I didn't see him..."
"Didn't you see him?" Tyrann asked.
"Well...but nothing is certain," Tyrone said.
"Is there anything in particular that needs my attention?"
Hearing Rob's question, Tyron opened his mouth and tapped his finger on the document containing the photo of Fortress Trot.
"It's short-term, but over time, the river has been significantly reduced."
"Sir, is this true?"
"Yes, the difference in volume for each season is on paper."
Fortress records also have the number and depth of rivers during the border dispute, which is due to the pivotal role rivers played in the raids.
Tyronn checked the records and noticed that the flow of the river was much lower than normal.
Also, occasionally small pieces of wood drift down the river, making the river cloudy.
"And then they..."
"There's a good chance someone's playing..."
Hearing Tyron's words, Rob was startled, and retorted: "But to do this, they need a lot of manpower and material resources, and there is no report about mobilizing such manpower or materials from the fortress?"
"Maybe they left before the battle started, that's why I want you to go upriver with some scouts, and if they're up to something, then we don't have to keep our word."
"Understood, I'll go right away."
Under the command of Tyron, Rob led a team of scouts upstream .
The Upper River is known for its rugged terrain.
On the rugged road, there are traces of beasts and monsters passing by, but there is no trace of people.
As a result, this made Rob and the other scouts wonder if the enemy really wanted to break their agreement.
"I looked around, but I didn't see any traces of anyone passing by. Did you see anything unusual?"
Under the inquiry of the captain of the reconnaissance team, Rob said what he saw when he used the flying magic.
"I didn't find any signs of humans, however, there was a suspicious structure above the river.
"Suspicious structure?"
"I'm not sure, but it's like a dam of wood, sand and rocks.
Hearing Rob's words, the scout leader's eyes widened.
"Well, that's...".
