Chapter 740, no way to explain
Everyone believed that continuing to forcefully attack the fortress would only increase casualties.
The best way is to take a detour and attack the city behind.
There is no need to consume too many troops in a place where you have no advantage at all.
"Jeffrey, go and make a suggestion to the President to let the skeleton go around, so that you can explain it to Lord Wen Mansha later." Someone said immediately.
Jeffrey is the commander-in-chief of the army and is responsible for some coordination and communication issues.
The rest of the people couldn''t express their opinions, and they were not qualified to make any comments to the Skeleton President, but Jeffrey still had certain rights.
Jeffrey pondered for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I''ll go and mention it to the president. If that doesn''t work, I''ll write to the city lord to tell him about the situation in advance."
The other people also nodded in agreement.
Then they walked together toward a building in the back.
Stand in front of the building.
He knocked lightly on the door, then pushed it open and walked in.
The building was dark, with only the open doors letting in the silvery moonlight.
A skeleton wearing an aristocratic dress and a sunhat is sitting in the room, looking at the door with empty eyes.
Jeffrey and the others forced a smile.
"President, we have something we want to report to you."
…
other side.
"Holy crap, where did this come from?"
After getting off the train, Wu Heng looked at the dark woods around him.
There were rustling sounds from both sides from time to time, as if some wild beast was moving through the jungle.
After getting on the ghost train from Luntam City, the itinerary filled out by Wu Heng was to go to the ''Thurted Fortress''.
After all, some ammunition and supplies from Luntam City need to be delivered by themselves first.
It was just pitch black when I got off the car.
There is still some psychological pressure.
Releasing a [Dancing Light Technique] around his body, Wu Heng released the ghost.
"Wow, the food is glowing, it''s your uncle." Xiaoxiao exclaimed.
"What are you talking about?" Wu Heng looked at her and said.
"I''ve never heard of this."
Glenda looked around, "Are you there?"
Wu Heng said: "We should have arrived at the fortress. The train has not made any mistakes yet. Fly a little higher to identify the direction."
"Okay." Xiaoxiao agreed, straightened up and looked around.
Glenda and Penny conducted some exploration into the jungle on both sides.
I''m sure the rustling noise is just some small animals.
Nothing dangerous.
Then, Xiaoxiao flew down from the sky and pointed in two directions, "Uncle, there is a city over there, and the firelight should be the fortress you mentioned. There are very dense light pillars over there, which should be the skeleton army. ”
"Well, let''s go there." Wu Heng dispersed the dancing light technique, took out his flashlight and rushed towards the location of the skeleton.
Seeing the skeletons gathering in the distance, he put on the mask of the Faceless Man and transformed into a brown-haired fisherman.
…
inside the house.
Jeffrey sat on one side and said seriously: "President, in attacking the fortress in the past few days, we are the only ones who have been reducing our troops. The other side is also taking advantage of this and intends to consume our troops."
"Since we can''t capture it, we can choose to take a detour. The biggest advantage of the skeleton army is that we don''t need excessive baggage. We can go around it."
Jeffrey placed a map on the table and traced the detour route with his hands.
Judging from the map, the detour is half a circle.
The distance and consumption will definitely increase exponentially, but there is nothing we can do about it. This city is already very famous, and the skeleton army cannot attack it.
The skeleton president, with empty eyes, just glanced at the map.
He stretched out his bone-like palm and waved it towards the door, indicating that they could leave. The faces of Jeffrey and others turned ugly. After hesitating for a moment, they still said: "If you think about it, you can also report the situation here to Luntam City first and listen to the arrangements there."
The skeleton still waved his hand, motioning for several people to leave.
Several commanders still frowned, but there was nothing they could do.
They looked at each other, stood up and walked out.
Squeak~!
As soon as the few people reached the door, the door suddenly opened.
A middle-aged man with brown hair and rough skin opened the door and walked in with two followers.
"Who?" several commanders asked immediately.
The person who came in was Wu Heng who had changed his appearance.
He glanced at the people in the room and said, "I came from Luntam City and brought orders and supplies from Lord Wenmansha."
"You? We were all Skeleton Knights before, why did you change?"
Now at war with the Kingdom of Yeko, except for the original members of the Spike Gang, some humans are rarely assigned any important responsibilities.
Why did a stranger come to deliver orders and supplies?
Several commanders questioned, and the skeleton president in the room, who was wearing a long skirt and a sun hat, pushed aside the people in front of him and let Wu Heng sit in his seat.
Then like an obedient servant, she gently rubbed his shoulders.
Everyone''s eyes widened and they looked at the scene in front of them in horror.
Not just skeleton shoulder rubs.
There is also a feeling of disbelief, how can this skeleton leader who behaves particularly strangely be so obedient.
It was like a ghost.
Faced with Skeleton''s shoulder rubbing, Wu Heng was also a little uncomfortable, but it was also obvious that Skeleton''s action.
He made the people in front of him believe in his identity.
It saves the nonsense of explanation.
Wu Heng asked directly: "Who is ''Jeffrey''."
"I''ve met you, sir. I don''t know what I should call you?" Jeffrey took a step forward.
"I am the inspector appointed by City Lord Wen Mansha. Let me tell you about the current situation." Wu Heng said calmly.
Jeffrey nodded and continued, "The skeleton army has been attacking for several days and has lost a lot of manpower and weapons. At present, it seems that it is just a unilateral attrition on our part."
"Is it difficult to attack?"
"This fortress has been fully prepared, and the wall itself is tall and solid, and there are a lot of equipment on it. It is difficult to attack the skeleton army with the current attack method," Jeffrey said directly.
Then, he continued to add, "We want to take a detour and are discussing this matter with the President."
"Detour? Do you have a map?" Wu Heng looked at him doubtfully.
Jeffrey took out the map he had just put away and drew a route with his hands. "You can take a detour here to avoid fighting with the fortress and directly attack the city behind."
Wu Heng looked at the map and asked, "Why didn''t the orc army go around it back then?"
Forehead….
Jeffrey turned and looked at the several orc representatives behind him.
The orcs scratched their heads, looking confused.
Jeffrey replied, "It should be a matter of baggage and time. Detouring will increase the consumption of baggage."
Wu Heng nodded, "How many skeletons are left?"
"About twenty thousand," Jeffrey replied.
Wu Heng thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you go down and have a rest first. I will tell you what to do later."
"Yes." Everyone turned and left.
Before leaving, Jeffrey hesitated for a moment, then stopped near the door, "Inspector, if the skeleton soldiers consume too much, the other side will definitely take the opportunity to counterattack. If it is serious, it will threaten Lunta." Mu City, I won’t be able to explain it to the city lord at that time.”
"I will consider it." Wu Heng still said.
Jeffrey said no more and left with the others.
