The night is getting darker, and fine goose-feather snow is floating in the sky.

Outside the city of Maribo, soldiers in black uniforms were all sitting around a crackling campfire, talking in low voices.

In his words, he either cursed the cold weather or was dissatisfied with the intensity of logistical support.

The small force led by Lu Qi carried out many sneak attacks and plunders, causing the Nilfgaardian logistics troops to suffer terribly and suffered heavy losses.

The food that had just been taken away from the people of Temeria was returned to the hands of the Temerian army.

This stretched the battle line and the Nilfgaardian army began to run out of supplies. Feeling helpless, they were forced to detach part of their troops to protect the supply line.

As a result, the consumption of food and grass has also accelerated sharply, further exacerbating the logistical pressure.

Although the current situation is favorable to the Nilfgaardian side. However, if you are not careful and take the wrong next step, you may very well end up in a situation of eternal disaster...

The one who defeated the troops led by King Foltest of Temeria was the Third Army, led by Lieutenant General Stoker, belonging to Nilfgaardian Empire Field Marshal Meno Couchren.

The two mixed infantry and cavalry divisions of the Third Army, the Alba Division led by Colonel Tibor Aigbulaj and the Deswen Division led by Colonel Liam Moss, are among the best in the imperial army.

Elite troops.

This is also the reason why Foltest was defeated in the frontal battlefield...

At this moment, the three senior generals who had just defeated the King of Temeria, plus a member of the intelligence department, were gathering in a slightly larger tent with bright lights and serious expressions to discuss the current situation.

, and the important next step, how to go:

"Your Excellency Lieutenant General, our logistics supplies are seriously insufficient, whether it is rations for soldiers or clothing to withstand the cold winter..." Colonel Moss, who was dressed in black armor with a yellow sun emblem embroidered on his chest, said solemnly: "

If this continues, morale will definitely drop sharply, and we must launch a siege as soon as possible! Only by capturing Maribo and seizing enough food supplies can we restore our morale and continue to advance north. Otherwise, when winter comes, we will have to

It will be even more difficult to capture Maribo."

"I agree with Colonel Moss's view." Colonel Aigbulaj on the side agreed with a serious expression:

"Moreover, although our troops are enough to defeat the Temerian army in the field, they are not enough to surround the entire city. Concentrating our troops and focusing on a gap in the city defense is our only option at present, and it is also the only one that can complete the emperor's mission

way of commanding.”

Listening to the words of the two capable generals, Lieutenant General Stoker, who was standing by the table and staring at the map, frowned and breathed a long sigh of relief:

"I understand... I ordered all the soldiers to have a good rest except the sentries. When the first ray of sunshine shines on the earth tomorrow morning, we will officially attack the city!"

After that, the brown-haired Lieutenant General Nilfgaard seemed to have remembered something important and suddenly added:

"By the way, we still have a troublesome person who needs to be solved urgently..."

Hearing this, the two colonels looked at each other and then said: "Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, are you talking about the knight named Alex?"

"Yes, it is said that this knight who was a bounty hunter once defeated the Fourth Legion's partial division with the demon hunters at the Yaruga River Bridge and saved Queen Miwe of Rivia. Now he has come to Taimo again.

Leah is our enemy. If he continues to wreak havoc on the battlefield, the impact on the morale of the soldiers will be immeasurable..."

"So, do you have any good ideas to pull out this damn nail?"

The two commanders looked at each other in silence.

At this time, the intelligence officer who was standing aside silently, like a transparent person, suddenly said: "Your Excellency Lieutenant General, according to the intelligence, in addition to his superb swordsmanship, this Alex can also cast magic."

Hearing this, the expressions of the people in the tent instantly became a little more serious.

This enemy's combat power is enough to feed them, and he can actually use magic to keep people alive!

"So, I think we might be able to let the warlock deal with him..."

"Well, this is a good idea." Touching his chin, Lieutenant General Stoker nodded in agreement: "I will send a letter to His Majesty the Emperor tonight, requesting that a warlock be dispatched from the country to deal with him."

"When we attack the city tomorrow, once we discover him, we will immediately give orders to the archery troops! Even if he is surrounded by enemies or one of our own, he must be shot!"

"If you can't kill him in this way, then wait until the warlock arrives and then let him handle it!"

"As you command!"

"As you command!"

At this moment, a playful and magnetic voice suddenly sounded:

"It's a pity that you can't wait for that day..."

"What..."

Before he finished speaking, a black shadow as fast as lightning rushed into the tent,

With the subtle sound of metal cutting through the skin, the exclamation that had not yet been uttered came to an abrupt end.

"Well..."

Accompanied by an inaudible groan, the three Nilfgaardian generals in the tent invariably covered their necks that could not stop the bleeding, their pupils dilated, and they fell to the ground softly.

With a flick of his hand, he turned the tactical dagger in his hand. Lu Qi, dressed in black, mercilessly pocketed all the military information and letters on the table before turning around and walking out of the tent without looking back, and disappeared.

in the dark...

Soon, the same thing happened in other tents.

With the help of the thick darkness of night, Lu Qi was like an uninvited god of death in the dark night, assassinating the middle and high-level generals of the entire Nilfgaard Third Army one by one.

By the time the soldiers realized something was wrong, it was too late.

The logistics camp was already littered with corpses, and the only remaining food, grass, and clothing turned into a blazing sea of ​​fire.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Lu Qi, who had caused this situation with his own hands, did not forget to casually kill the Nilfgaardian soldiers and set fire to them.

Without the restraint of superior generals and not knowing where the enemy was, the entire Nilfgaardian camp suddenly fell into chaos.

The clusters of flames blooming in the camp were the signal from Lu Qi to the Temerian army in the city!

Standing on the city wall, Foltest paid close attention to the progress of the night attack. He did not miss the opportunity and immediately ordered the attack.

With a "squeak" sound, the Maribo city gate slowly opened. Behind the door were already ready cavalry troops, wearing white clothes and silver armor, with flags embroidered with white lilies, fluttering in the wind.

"For Temeria!!!"

Following the roar of the leading general, nearly six thousand cavalry rushed into the Nilfgaard camp.

For a moment, the thunder of horse hooves rumbled, the earth trembled, shouts of death and screams resounded throughout the sky...

The Nilfgaardian army, which lost its commander and fell into chaos, was like a piece of scattered sand, unable to organize any effective resistance at all.

The cavalry troops led by the Temerian Royal Knights, like an extremely sharp white arrow, directly tore the Nilfgaardians into scattered black pieces...
Chapter completed!
