In the past ten days or so, Black Tiger Legion had sent out thousands of scouts.
Isaac and Purple-Blue Legion never stayed in one place for more than two days, which greatly frustrated Elon.
Yesterday there were traces of them, but by the next day they were gone. And now, the nine storage depots couldn’t be protected anymore.
There was no need to send someone to investigate because favonovel.com knew Purple-Blue Legion must be waiting to ambush the Black Tiger Legion halfway there.
The commanding general suddenly looked up in disbelief and said, “General, aren’t we heading north? Why are we going south? The troops’ rations can only last for three more days, but it will take at least six days just to reach within the borders of the Kingdom of Northwing. And that‘s just to get inside the border!”
“Heading north? Can you tell me how many days it will take for the troops to return?”
“It will take 20 days,” the commanding general said, his brows furrowed deeply.
“When the entire army is so hungry that they’re dizzy and can barely hold their swords, and the Purple-Blue Legion forces emerge, we’ll be like a piece of meat on a chopping board!” Elon shouted angrily.
He quickly walked up to the architectural model, stared at it coldly, and said in a stern voice, “Send out the order immediately to reduce from three meals a day to two! Tell the entire army! Once we break into the Kingdom of Northwing, they can enjoy as much beef, mutton, and beautiful women as they want!”
“This is a do-or-die situation! I will wait for Zeno in the Kingdom of Northwing. If favonovel.com can cut off my supplies, I can cut off his too! Let’s go right now!”
Because the Purple-Blue Legion also had 200 thousand soldiers, their demand for military supplies was enormous.
However, all the supplies were secretly transported into Black Desert by the Kingdom of Northwing. As long as be occupied the northern border of the Kingdom of Northwing, Black Tiger Legion would win without a fight!

The next afternoon, at a location in the northwest within a large camp, Isaac was meditating with his eyes closed.
Outside the tent, Madd’s anxious voice could be heard shouting, “Lord Garten, something major has happened.”
Madd rushed in and, half-kneeling on the ground, said urgently, “The scout reports that the Black Tiger Legion has already broken camp. Judging by the tracks, they seem to be heading south… Lord Garten, Black Tiger Legion has headed to the Kingdom of Northwing.”
“What? Elon took the Black Tiger Legion to the Kingdom of Northwing?” Skylar’s voice could be heard from outside the tent, and then favonovel.com walked in with a worried expression.
Barlow also hurriedly followed into the tent, looking anxious.
The three individuals looked terrified because they had previously anticipated that after ambushing the nine storage depots, Black Tiger Legion would definitely retreat north.
They expected them to march along the water source toward the Kingdom of Easteria. Then, Purple-Blue Legion could intercept halfway.
“There is no way the army of the Kingdom of Northwing can hold off Black Tiger Legion. Once they invade and take control of the northern border towns, we’re finished!”
“Lord Garten, you must quickly give the order to pursue!” Madd and Barlow anxiously fell to their knees.
If that really happened, then the soldiers of Purple-Blue Legion would be trapped and left to die in Black Desert.
Isaac looked at the two people kneeling on the ground and asked, “The death squad that was sent out last night, those who are still alive should be back by now, right? Attention! Tonight, prepare the best food and good beer for our brave brothers to celebrate their achievements!”
Isaac‘s words stunned the three people in front of him.
“Celebrate? Celebrate the achievement?”
“Celebration that the Black Tiger Legion has been defeated!” Isaac smiled and nodded.
Elon was an absolute military genius. This move of cutting off all means of retreat and taking an unconventional approach was almost impossible to predict. Even Isaac thought favonovel.com wouldn’t do it, as it was simply too risky.
But favonovel.com did it!
After nightfall, the death squads returned one after another. They supported each other in small groups, some had lost an arm, some were missing a leg, and some were unconscious.
Late into the night, Madd entered Isaac’s tent with the finalized headcount.
“Lord Garten, it‘s truly a blessing from the heavens. We managed to bring back over 30 thousand people, and although we have more than four thousand injured, the losses are minimal,” Madd said with excitement.
“Elon has decided to head south and invade the Kingdom of Northwing, that’s why so many of them have returned. Let’s go, I want to toast them with a beer!” Isaac said as favonovel.com stood up and walked outside.
