We are in Terra and there is no book to read.

Although Casimir's troops have been divided once, he still has tens of thousands of people left, who still have the power to fight Kazdaele and are a considerable threat.

Teresica personally came to the desert with the second division, and also set up a stronghold outside Camp Casimir.

"How many people are still in Casimir's camp?"

"Your Majesty, they have brought in some reinforcements. Now there are more than 9 people... close to [-]."

After listening to the report of the guerrilla force's investigators, Teresica had a more detailed understanding of the current situation. At first, he thought Casimir's offensive force was 15, but now it seems that it has been 16.

"Manfred, I may have to fully intervene in this battle."

Teresica looked at Manfred and said that before, he had always issued tasks or given general guidelines, and the specific implementation was all up to them.

He looked around, "I know your abilities, and I also believe that with 5000 of us, we can definitely defeat them, but Sakaz can't bear the losses now, at least... I don't want to see Sakaz die anymore. .”

After defeating the five thousand young men of Sakaz in the battle of Kazdale, Teresica lost any joy of victory in her heart. This was not the result he wanted.

There was a slight silence in the stronghold headquarters for a while, and then all commanders at all levels, including Manfred, lowered their heads.

"Follow your will, Your Majesty."

The military is a very unique place. If you are an outsider, they will find you annoying if you are next to them. But if you are an expert, then whatever you say will be whatever you say, and no one will contradict you.

In Teresica's eyes, she seemed to have won the initial trust of the officers and soldiers of the Sakaz army by virtue of a series of relatively careless operations in this war.

He asked: "How many supplies do the troops in Camp Casimir have?"

"Your Majesty, we still have about half a month, but we will forcefully rush out from time to time to buy supplies from Leitania. The actual support time may be longer."

"Okay, from now on, surround them and cut off all supply lines."

.........

Under Teresica's order, the Sakaz troops swaggered toward the stronghold in front of the Casimir people. After Casimir sent investigators to calculate, they came up with a terrifying figure.

Sakaz has already deployed 7 troops in the desert!

They are all walking knights here!

The Kurantas were a little panicked. All the carrying beasts and impact beasts were taken away by Lord Tok. Currently, they no longer have a beast control knight to assist them.With only 2 men to fight on foot, there is no guarantee that Sakaz will be defeated.

The scouts witnessed that Sakaz had established several magician positions around the camp!

Didn’t Lord Tork raid Kazdaele? !How is this going? !Do the demons no longer want a home? !

While the commander of the Casimir stronghold kept making guesses, a war knight who claimed to be Lord Tok's subordinate was placed in front of the Casimir camp by Sakaz.

From his mouth, the commander of the remaining troops received a shocking news.

"Lord Changqi, Lord Tok has been defeated."

"what?!"

"Lord Tok was defeated and captured!"

The commander's eyes widened. He did not dare to think about it and directly drew his sword and beheaded the fighting knight. Then he sent several waves of messengers in succession, heading towards Casimir's country and looking for Lord Tok's troops in the direction of Kazdaele.

Sakaz saw all this clearly. After intercepting all the messengers, Teresica looked at the time and ordered the drone to drop leaflets into the Casimir camp.

The content on it was extremely simple. It only showed Lord Tok and others kneeling, and there were also Sarkaz soldiers with mocking faces standing around them.The opposite is a sentence.

'Surrender, don't die. '

Commander Casimir ordered people to shoot down drones and collect and burn leaflets, but with little effect. The morale of the knights on the expedition has been greatly affected.

Not only the ordinary knights, but all the messengers they sent had no news, and Lord Tok also had no reply for several days.Isolation and limited supplies also caused considerable psychological pressure on the officers.

Seeing the increasingly depressed appearance of the soldiers and the gradually running out of supplies, the commander knew that he could no longer consume them, so he ordered the troops to prepare for a night breakout!Return to Casimir!

As for Tok... everyone actually knows it, but they just don't want to say it clearly.In this military operation, everyone has reached a unified voice.

'It has nothing to do with them who carry out the orders. '

Late at night, the war knights had just begun to assemble. The Sakaz magician, who had already prepared in advance, directly launched a large-scale position bombardment spell, which caused the war knights to flee back to their barracks before stopping.

Casimir's commander also made many attempts, but either he was shot back by Sakaz's crossbow arrows, or he was blown away by Sakaz's spells and was completely unable to break out.

"Damn the demons! Fight us head-on!"

The trapped warrior knight screamed manically, but no Sakaz paid him any attention, because Teresica had given an order and private fighting was strictly prohibited!

The last trace of vitality in the body that could be overdrawn disappeared over time.Casimir's troops were completely out of food after being besieged for 19 days. At the same time, there were a large number of wounded soldiers in the camp. They were wailing all day long without medicine.It sounds like a lament, which gradually makes the living people feel a little timid.

Deserters began to appear, at first a few, and then more than a dozen. After Teresica intentionally put in a group of couriers from Casimir's country, the knights on the expedition began to surrender in groups.

That team of couriers was responsible for transporting letters from family members.

On May 5, seeing that the army was completely out of control, Commander Casimir proposed surrender to Sakaz, and Teresica accepted the surrender.

Sakaz disintegrated the 10-strong force without losing a single man.The war knights walked out of the camp one by one, took off their armor and weapons, and then exchanged for Sakaz's food next to the piles of equipment.

These people were really hungry. They didn't hesitate to take the enemy's food and just wolfed it down.

After doing some statistics on food consumption, Manfred found Teresica worriedly.

"Your Majesty, we have 12 prisoners. The pressure is really quite big. Let's get rid of some of them."

"No, they are still useful. Trust me, the living are far more useful than the dead."

"What does Your Majesty want to use it for?"

"Negotiate with Casimir. Ursus's army is still on the border. I believe they will make the appropriate decision."

Teresica smiled and said: "What's the point of 12 people eating something now? They'll all have to vomit it out later. Find Mostima."

Chapter 60 Russell: How did I end up with such a group of people?

"Instructor Russell, someone is looking for you."

At Casimir's Fighting Knights Youth Training Camp, the ongoing class was suddenly interrupted. The students looked out the door curiously and saw a large group of high-level Fighting Knights.They crowded around the door, as if waiting for someone.

"Keep training!"

Russell ignored it. After maintaining classroom discipline, she continued to correct various mistakes in the students' training movements. It was not until the lunch break that she walked out of the classroom.

"Hello, Lord Knight Commander."

Russell bowed to the high-level combat knights in front of him, which made the people around him feel embarrassed.

"Lord Russell, why do you say that..."

"I am just a youth training camp instructor now and cannot violate etiquette."

Russell said calmly that she had been much more comfortable recently than before. She didn't have to worry about domestic and foreign affairs at all, and no one sent her emergency information to wake her up at night.Now her life is very regular, and her recent physical health assessment index has improved a lot.

"Lord Russell, can you give me a place to talk? We beg you."

The high-level combat knights present lowered their postures one after another.

“There’s a lot going on right now and we need your help.”

"The current situation is beyond our capabilities."

"I implore you to consider Casimir's future..."

"There is something about Kazdaele..."

A circle of people surrounded Russell and kept pleading. Their excitement attracted many people around who didn't know the situation to look here.

"Hey, please follow me."

Russell acted like a guide and led everyone to an ordinary teacher's office. After the guards cleared everyone around, she didn't bother to waste time and asked directly.

"The situation is unfavorable?"

Looking at everyone's gloomy expressions, Russell already had a rough estimate of the situation.This is a long-distance battle, the cost of supplies is extremely high, and the battlefield is still Sakaz's territory, so it is normal to be at a disadvantage.

"If the situation is not good, just take it back as soon as possible. Sakaz is a poor country. If we provide more financial compensation, the matter should be settled."

"Lord Russell, we lost."

"I know, I can guess it just by looking at your faces..."

Russell was suddenly stunned as she spoke, because she actually saw the high-level battle knights in front of her, and there was a cry in her voice!

Her heart suddenly pounded, "What is going on?"

"Lord Russell, that guy Tok brought 16 war knights to Kazdaele and was completely defeated..."

"16, 4 were killed, including himself, and 12 were captured by the demons..."

Listening to their words, Russell felt like a thunderbolt from the blue. She even felt that the ground was collapsing.

"Ah! Lord Russell!"

"Lord Russell!"

The surrounding warrior knights rushed forward and supported Russell, who was fainting.

"I...I've only been away for a month, how could things become like this!"

She grabbed the collar of the current Grand Knight Commander Casimir, gritted her teeth and yelled like a debt collector, "The knights I have worked hard to save for decades, let you throw away the knights like this?!"

"No one expected that Tok would be beaten like this!"

They were all strong warrior knights, but now they were like children who had done something wrong, shouting: "Lord Russell, what matters now is to solve the problem at hand!"

"Solve the problem?! How to solve it! We lost 16 people in a month! Neither we nor Ursus have suffered such losses in a month!"

Russell, wearing an ordinary teacher's uniform, sat on a chair in the office with her chest pressed, and a circle of high-level combat knights around her looked like a group of students in training.

They didn't dare to say a word, they just stared at Russell who lowered his head and said nothing.

There was silence in the office for a while, and Russell finally asked.

"How many people know the news now."

The heaviness on the faces of the war knights suddenly disappeared a lot, and they replied: "No one else knows yet. It was a Sakota messenger named Mostima who dictated it to us. She is from the Kazdare region. Messenger to all nations.”

"That means that this is the leader of Sakaz, sending a signal to us."

Russell covered his forehead in pain, "Do you know about the war with Sakaz in China?"

"I don't know. The military expenses are all paid by Tuoke themselves, but in terms of personnel..."

The people around looked at each other in confusion. If the money is gone, it is gone. You can earn it back in the future, but what about the people who died in battle?This does not mean that it can be born!

"How many troops are there around the great knight leader? We need absolutely reliable troops!"

Russell's eyes swept over everyone one by one, with a hint of ferocity in them.

"Lord Russell, if we include those who meet your requirements, we can make up 3 people!"

"Immediately declare Tok and all other high-level knight participants as traitors! Seize all assets immediately! Go now!"

"Yes!!!"

One person took the military order signed on the spot from the current Grand Knight Commander and ran out quickly.

Listening to the man's footsteps, Russell looked at the current Grand Knight Commander Casimir and said, "Get ready to announce the fact that Tok secretly launched a war and was defeated."

"Lord Russell, I can announce this, but you must agree to my request."

"what?"

"Please re-assume the position of Grand Knight Commander." the Grand Knight Commander said.

"If you cause trouble, you want me to clean it up?"

Russell looked at the fighting knights in front of him, "Now that the problem has been solved, and then I will leave this country to you to mess around? Then I'll just let you have a long memory."

"We now know our fault, but please save Casimir."

His face looked extremely painful, "With 16 knights suddenly missing, we have no way to deal with the threats of Leitania and Ursus at the same time."

A document, following his signal, was delivered to Russell.She immediately took it and looked at it carefully. Her frown became even more ugly.

She turned the file upside down on the table and took a deep breath.

"Send a diplomatic courier to Kazdaele to negotiate a peace agreement in Rutland, and I will personally participate in the negotiations."

"As ordered!"

Invisibly, the handover of the position of Grand Knight Commander Casimir has been completed.

Russell looked at everyone, "No matter who hit Kazdale, Terra only knows that we started the war and lost. I hope everyone can be prepared for the price this situation will pay."
