Since the crazy revenge against Ulan City, the vanguard troops have become plain sailing, and have never encountered a city that dares to resist.

However - when the vanguard troops arrived at the foot of the 19th City, their plain sailing was broken.

The 19th city they met was named vOka.

The Lord of the city of vokha, like the Lord of Ulan, was a man of hard bones.

After learning that the britannian army was coming to the city, the city master of vOka did not fall like the previous city masters, but closed the gate and chose to fight to the death with the britannian army.

Seeing that the Lord of the city of vukha was unwilling to surrender, Deng Jia'er could only wave the command flag and began the long lost siege.

The siege is bound to be difficult.

For the walls of the city of vokha are far higher and thicker than those of Ulan, and the defenders in the city are far more than those of Ulan.

There are few strategies that can be used in the siege. When there are no strange strategies to use, there is no other way but to consume the combat power of the city a little.

When Deng Jiaer led the vanguard troops of the East Route Army to besiege the city of vOka, the rescue troops of the holy Helan Empire were finally about to reach the Western Front battlefield

……

……

"Bernard, wait! There are heralds! "

El looked in the direction of kuci's finger.

In front of them, a soldier dressed as a herald was sweating on a fast horse and approaching them quickly.

When it was close to the range where the sound could be transmitted, the herald shouted to El:

"Excuse me --! Is it El Bernard waiting?! "

"Well, that's right." El nodded. "I am."

"Bernard, wait!"

When he got close to El's heel, the herald gasped and saluted el.

Until his breath was a little smoother, the herald continued to say in a loud voice:

"A large number of refugees are found ahead!"

Hearing the word "refugee", El's face changed slightly.

The herald continued:

"The manager has orders - we don't have time to take care of these refugees, so no one can take care of them."

"... yes." El responded in a calm tone that could not hear any emotion. "I see."

"Then I'll leave first."

After that, the messenger hurriedly pulled the reins. It seemed that he planned to go to the rear and convey the new order issued by commander Nikita to the troops in the rear.

After the messenger left, El turned his head and said to kuci beside him:

"Corwin, second class, did you hear what the herald just said?"

"I heard..."

"Go and preach." El continued to say in a calm tone, "tell our troops not to pay attention to the refugees who will come here soon, especially not to give them any food."

"Remember - be sure to tell your subordinates that you can't give refugees any food." When El said this, he specially accentuated his tone.

"Yes, I'll send an order immediately..."

Kuci, who seemed to have a heavy heart, turned his donkey's head to inform his subordinates of the order that El had just issued.

……

……

As soon as kuci had finished his order, the refugees came.

A large number of refugees passed by the army in a disorderly line.

These refugees were ordinary farmers before the British Empire launched an attack on the Holy Hiran empire.

Because of the arrival of the British army, they had to change from farmers to refugees and leave their hometown.

Each of these refugees was sallow and ragged.

Even far away, El could smell the bad smell from the refugees.

These refugees fall into two categories.

One is that after the arrival of the British army, they were driven out of their hometown by the British army.

These refugees could get a little dry food from the British army, but this dry food was so little that they ate it up early.

The other kind of refugees received the news before the British army came, quickly packed up some things that could be taken away, and then fled with the rest of the villagers.

In order to improve the speed of escape, such refugees often can't bring too much food. When they come all the way here, they probably eat up all the food long ago.

Almost all these refugees have written the word "hunger" on their faces.

In order to get some food, the refugees looked at the army passing by with a little fear in hope.

However, Nikita has just ordered in advance that no one is allowed to have any contact with these refugees, so no general has taken care of these refugees.

Since these refugees appeared in the field of vision, El has been looking straight ahead, not allowing his eyes to sweep to the rest of the place, let alone the refugees passing by their side.

It is not known whether El did not visit the refugees because of Nikita's orders or for some other reason.

Just then, a young woman holding a little girl about 3 or 4 years old broke into the queue and knelt down directly in front of El.

"Please! Please give us some food! "

The woman repeated her prayers over and over again, kowtowing to El, who was riding on the horse.

El looked at the woman.

Although El didn't know much about medicine, he could see that the woman was very weak and hadn't eaten any decent food for a long time.

The little girl she held in her arms also had a sallow face. Just looking at it with her eyes, we can see that the little girl in her arms is very weak and dangerous.

El's eyes flashed unbearable.

"... I'm sorry, I can't help you."

After saying this, El quickly hid the unbearable color, pulled the reins in his hand, and drove the horse under his crotch around the poor woman.

However, the poor woman did not let El go.

"I beg you!"

The woman hugged the leg of El's horse and cried to El.

"You may not save me, but please save my daughter!"

"My daughter is dying!"

"Please give my daughter something to eat!"

Listening to the woman's cry, El apologized to the woman again after being silent for a while:

"... sorry, there's really nothing I can do."

Then El was ready to call the bodyguards around and pull the woman away.

However - just then, the mutation occurred.

Kuci, who could no longer see the tragic scene in front of him, silently took out half of the bread from his arms and threw it at the poor woman.

“!!!” El's face changed greatly after seeing that kuci gave the woman food.

"You fool!"

Usually gentle and courteous, El scolded kuci very rarely at this time.

"Who asked you to give her food!"

El wanted to jump off his horse and get back the half piece of bread that kuci had just given.

But it's too late.
