Chapter 1287 The Northern Territory Crisis (2)

The room was quiet. The general who said this just now was named McAdam Taylor. He was also one of Prince Art's most trusted subordinates, and he was Art's right-hand man along with Aldridge.

It is precisely because of his important status that McAdam dared to say something that no one dared to mention, and now this matter has become very serious, to the point where it threatens whether the northern fortress can continue to hold on.

McAdam said: "Your Highness, all the food in the fortress can only last for less than three days. After three days, we will run out of food. By then, how should the [-] soldiers in the northern border survive? Do you have an idea? ?”

Every meeting is like this. When talking about frontline operations and talking about those barbarians, the generals are all very excited, but when it comes to logistics supplies, everyone is like an eggplant beaten by Shuang, one by one.

As early as a month ago, the northern fortress had already experienced a logistical crisis.

At that time, food supplies and coal for heating in the northern border were in urgent need. In order to solve the crisis, Art had to organize soldiers to cut wood outside the Great Wall.

But such a method is still not a problem, even if it can alleviate the problem of heating, there are still so many soldiers who need to eat.

In winter, the place north of the Great Wall is a frozen snow country, where there is nothing, like a desert, and it is almost impossible to find food on the spot.Occasionally, some wild beasts can be hunted from the forest, but how could a few wild beasts fill the stomachs of nearly a hundred thousand soldiers.

Seeing that the food stock in the fortress was getting less and less day by day, Art was so anxious that his hair turned gray a lot. In order to let Nero quickly transport food to the north, he sent messengers a total of eleven times, but so far even a little No echo.

"I personally wrote a letter to the king. According to the flying speed of the letter crow, the letter should have reached the king now. After reading the letter, he will definitely send more supplies to the north."

Art rested his chin on both hands and propped his elbows on the conference table, his eyes were no longer as firm as before.

Counting the letter he wrote to the Nero authorities this time, this is already No. 12, and there was no response to the first eleven, so what response can this No. 12 have?

In fact, he no longer had any hope for this in his heart, and he did this only to appease the generals who followed him, because if he didn't do this, these generals would have been in chaos long ago.

It's just that what Art has been wondering is why his father didn't respond at all after seeing his request for help. Could it be that he really let the northern border do nothing like this.

McAdam said in a disappointed tone: "Your Highness, although it is frustrating to say these words, I just want to remind you that maybe you shouldn't expect this at all, and even if the Nero authorities have received your request for help, in the end It will take a month to reach the northern border if the supplies are dispatched as quickly as possible, but by then the northern border may be already..." At this point, McAdam really couldn't go on, why should he think about it, the food in the fortress now It can last for three days, and after a month, this place may have already become the territory of barbarians.

"I believe that the Nile authorities will definitely not give up on us. Maybe reinforcements are already on the way."

As the commander of the northern border, Art has more considerations. He is the heart of these generals. He can't say anything depressing. Otherwise, even he will lose confidence. How can the other generals stick to it? .At this time, Art can only say some big cakes to stabilize the morale of the army.

McAdam shook his head lightly, and sighed: "Your Highness, there are some news that I shouldn't have mentioned, but if I don't, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of the soldiers in the northern border."

Art looked at McAdam and gestured: "You are all people who have followed me for many years and know what I am. If you have anything to say, just say it. I have never punished you for what you said."

McAdam said: "I got some information about the Nero authorities..."

Speaking of this, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense, all the generals present held their breath, there was no other sound, only the charcoal fire in the brazier was still flickering.

McAdam glanced at Art and saw that although his face was heavy, he didn't stop himself, so he spoke boldly.

"According to the information I got, Nero is now under the sole control of Archmage Halder, and the entire country has fallen into his hands. That's why he has been reluctant to send more supplies to the northern border."

"..."

After McAdam finished speaking, there was even more silence in the room.

There is too much involved here, involving the power of the king, Halder, and Nero. No one dares to intervene in these things.

Art looked at McAdam in disbelief. Even he had never heard of these things. I don't know where McAdam learned about them.

"Tyler, how do you know?"

"The envoy who came back told me about Nero's situation. Right now, Nero has fallen under Halder's control, and everything is in chaos."

"Why have you never heard of it before?"

"This is a big matter, I dare not speak out easily, and I also had doubts about this news at first, and I dared to speak out only after repeated confirmation."

Art fell silent. He was thinking about what McAdam said just now. If this was the case, the situation would be completely different from now.

The others also looked at McAdam, asking whether what he just said was true through their eyes.

"McAdam, you say Hal has to usurp power, but what about His Majesty and Queen?" Someone stood up and asked.

"According to the information inquired by the envoy, His Majesty has been placed under house arrest by Halde, and the Queen has been persecuted and fled Nile." McAdam said.

A bearded general charged at the case and said indignantly: "Then we will still guard his northern border, and the big guy will fight back and chop off the head of that birdman Halder."

The others also stood up one after another, and shouted together: "That's right, we are still guarding the northern border. The army will go south and fight back to Nile, and let the prince come down to be the king."

The atmosphere in the room became hot all of a sudden. These generals were holding on to the northern border one by one, full of resentment. It just so happened that at this time, they learned that Halde had put the king under house arrest in Nile and had monopolized power. Can bear it, and immediately clamored to kill Nile.

There are [-] Chen soldiers in the northern fortress. If they go south in a big way, they will definitely go straight to Huanglong and fight all the way into the palace.

Those generals looked at Art eagerly, "Your Highness, please speak, as long as you say a word, we will all fight back with you."
