Chapter 285 Food Struggle
"Oh no! It's the sound of horse hooves! The humans are attacking!"

General Lion's face changed drastically.

"Everyone stop and fight the enemy!"

Before he could organize his formation, smoke and dust rose in the distance, and a cavalry regiment of about two hundred people came straight towards him.

General Lion suddenly felt relieved.

Two hundred people? He didn't even take them seriously.

But what annoyed him was that this was deep in the Pas Plain, and their strongholds were everywhere. How did this human cavalry get here?
Are those patrol teams all useless?
And this human race, aren’t they afraid that they may never come back?

While he was thinking, the human cavalry had already rushed to the nearby area.

In an instant, colorful demon-restoring light shone from their bodies, dazzling the eyes of the general of the Huangyou clan.

Amidst these radiances, a purple primordial realm unfolded...

"Sequence Armament!" The general of the Huangyou tribe exclaimed in shock.

"Be careful! There are enemies above our heads!" someone from the Huangyou tribe shouted.

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of crossbow arrows shot down, and Theresa led the air cavalry to launch the first wave of attack.

Under the powerful crossbow arrows, Zhimin fell one after another and the scene was extremely chaotic.

They were completely unable to fight back against the air cavalry and could only passively dodge.

After a hail of arrows, the Zhimin suffered heavy casualties. Before they could gather again, Raven's cavalry arrived.

Under the powerful impact of the Holy Punishment, the cavalry regiment rushed into the group of intelligent people as easily as cutting cheese, and then started a one-sided massacre.

High-level cavalrymen are not only powerful, but the wildfire on their bodies also has the ability to penetrate armor, making them most suitable for dealing with the thick-skinned and thick-fleshed intelligent people.

Not to mention Raven, Lanster and others who were under holy punishment, they were completely invincible under the sword.

The battle didn't last long and ended with all four hundred intelligent people being wiped out.

The next step is to count the spoils.

Hesa tore open a bag and suddenly a large amount of rye flowed out.

He was immediately overjoyed: "Boss, we caught a big fish, and it's full of food."

"food?"

Raven frowned instead.

"Why are they sending the food back? Logically, the frontline needs it more."

"Who knows? What do you think we should do?" Hesa ​​said in a muffled voice.

"From what I can see, this should be the spoils of war being transported to the rear."

Monroe suddenly said.

"Look, there are quite a few gold and silver ornaments in here."

"Well, that's probably true.

Let’s put it this way, take away all the gold and silver jewelry, and as for the food, burn it on the spot.”

Before long, thick smoke rose up and dozens of carts of food were completely destroyed.

The thick smoke quickly attracted the nearby alien races.

The first to arrive were a group of Bai Yao people. Their faces turned pale as they looked at the food engulfed in flames and the corpses of Huang You people scattered all over the ground.

Raven continued to go deeper at this time.

Half a day later, a Zhimin camp appeared in the distance.

The camp is mainly composed of Huiling warriors. They are not the main fighting race of Zhimin, so they are assigned the task of transporting supplies.

These aliens are currently resting and have taken off their armor.

Of course, the so-called armor is just some simple leather.

Zhimin has always looked down upon non-war races.

"kill!"

Raven said only one word.

Half an hour later, the battle was over.

Zhimin didn't expect to encounter humans in his rear area. In his panic, he was wiped out before he could really put up a fight.

Raven seized a batch of food, as well as a lot of armor and weapons in the camp.

"This is a baggage camp. They should be responsible for transporting supplies for the army in the front." Monroe said.

"Well, that's fine. I'll burn it!" Hesa ​​licked his cracked lips.

"No, this will easily expose our whereabouts. Let me do it." Riven shook his head and the Night Breath Flame ignited in his hand.

Soon, only a pile of ashes remained in the camp.

The etheric fire was so fierce that the supplies were reduced to ashes before they could even begin to smoke.

The next day, Raven encountered another camp of intelligent people.

This time it was the Baiyao tribe camp. Raven left decisively to look for the next target.

The camp of the Holy Alliance, the main tent of the Huangyou tribe.

boom!
Lineker smashed the table to pieces.

"Waste! Such waste! You can't even keep the supplies in your own rear area!"

"Father, we can't blame them. That human team is so elusive." said the second prince Tira.

Lineker took a deep breath: "Have you found any trace of them?"

"No. In addition to our convoy, five other bases in the rear were attacked, suffering heavy losses, and no one survived."

"Who did it? Did Celine sneak in?"

“I don’t know, these humans are very good at hiding and sneak attacks, and they are also very cunning.

They won't attack every camp, but will hop around and attack selectively, making it difficult for us to predict their whereabouts."

"I don't care what method you use, just find them as soon as possible."

"Yes, sir. I will personally lead the troops to encircle and suppress them."

"But, the situation ahead is just improving. Wouldn't this play right into their trap?" the eldest prince suddenly spoke.

“Brother, our rear is already vulnerable. If we leave such a dangerous enemy alone, the entire supply line will be destroyed.

By then, even our army might be shaken.”

"Just do as Tira says," Lineker said.

Just then, a member of the Huangyou tribe walked into the big tent.

"Chief, the one from the Baiyao tribe wants you to come over immediately."

"Immediately? Humph, I'll go meet him." Lineker sneered.

He hated Passatello to the core.

When he arrived at the main tent, Chief Huangyou immediately noticed something was wrong.

Passatero sat in the commander's seat and looked at him with a gloomy face.

The other races also looked unhappy.

"What do you want from me?" Lineker asked in a deep voice.

"I received a battle report that a convoy of nobles was attacked. Is this true?" asked Passatero.

Lineker's heart sank and he thought to himself that this was not good.

The convoy was loaded with supplies looted from human towns and was supposed to be transported back to the tribe in secret; even the Baiyao tribe was unaware of it.

But the problem is that because of the human race's sneak attack, this convoy was completely exposed, and it seemed that the other party was going to launch an attack to hold them accountable.

"It's just a few bags of food and some utensils. Why do you want to ask about this?"

"How many bags of food? I'm afraid you remembered it wrongly, or are you pretending to be confused?"

"Passatero, what do you mean!"

boom!
Passatero slapped his seat and shouted:

"Lineker, do you still want to quibble?

If it weren't for this attack, I wouldn't have known that you were secretly transporting the seized food back to your tribe!"

The atmosphere froze for a moment.

After a long while, the leader of the Huangyou tribe roared:
"These grains were obtained with the blood of our warriors. What's wrong with giving some to the children of our tribe?"

"What? The army is in urgent need of food now, so I have reduced the three meals a day to just one.

And you, on the other hand, embezzled the captured food and secretly transported it back to your tribe, disregarding the safety of the army. What do you think we should do? "

"Don't use these to pressure me! It's your fault that the war is not going well!

I only know that many children in the tribe starved to death. They need to live and grow up. I can’t think about that much!”

"The children of your tribe should live, but the children of other tribes should die?

How can you face the other clan leaders if you do this?"

Passatello was furious.

"Besides, if the army fails, all the children of the tribe will die. Can your Huangyou tribe survive alone?"

"Lineker, you're going too far!" said the banshee leader gloomily.

The Titan Moon Spirit leader also sneered:

"The Huangyou tribe should be punished."

"This food was completely stolen by my people. We risked our lives to get it. Why can't we dispose of it ourselves?"

Lineker sneered.

"You can also go grab it yourself."
