Sure enough, in the face of women, it is best to use the relationship between men and women to change the subject.

Neos twitched his lips and looked at the battlements again: "Don't worry, Your Lady Queen, if you feel uncomfortable with this kind of scene, I will never let you see it in the future."

Boudica pondered for a moment: "You mean, you will do it, but you won't tell me?"

You have made great progress, Your Lady Queen.

Neos turned his head, raised his eyebrows, and smiled without saying a word.

Boudica and him looked at each other for a long time, sighed, and said "monster" in his heart, "Fortunately, you are on my side."

Neos smiled: "Thank you for thinking so."

Boudica froze.

Something seemed wrong, but I couldn't tell.

Shaking his head violently, Boudica stopped thinking about these details and asked, "By the way, I have a question for you."

"You can ask me all the questions, Your Lady Queen." Nios said.

"Why did you give them the order to only grab enough food for three days?"

Boudica frowned and asked, "Is three days really enough? Didn't you say that it would take ten days to attack the city?"

Neos organized his language: "This will involve many aspects, Your Lady Queen."

"Teach me!" Boudica was straightforward and resolute, like a stubborn little girl.

"If you insist,"

Neos nodded, cleared his throat, and said, "I only ask for three-day rations, one is because we can't afford the huge food transportation system,

There are not enough civilian husbands, cooks, vehicles, and food supplies, so the soldiers can only be asked to carry them with them to reduce the burden. "

Boudica expressed doubts about this.Transporting food, what is that, isn't it just robbing while walking?

"Second, most of the soldiers under our command are not from our own tribe, so it is difficult to communicate and organize.

Nios went on to say: "In order to ensure the marching speed, we can only use the most basic physiological needs to force them, and at the same time keep them from collapsing.

So according to my calculations, the food rations for three days, plus the looting of some farmland and cottages on the way, are just on the critical line.

When the city was attacked, food and grass were about to run out, and when they finished their last meal, they would either starve to death or enter the city desperately. "

Jo... Neos!Is this also in your calculations!

"And then there's the third..."

and also?

Boudica was shocked.

"I can't let them stay in the city for too long, or they will be easily exposed." Nios squinted his eyes as he watched the flames appearing at the gate of the city.

"My lord! Turner and the others are back!" Fei came out of the darkness panting, kneeling on one knee.

Boudica was not surprised at all, and was not moved by the girl's sudden appearance.

"Is there anyone left in the city?" Neos asked.

"No more, according to your order, all those who stay behind will be executed!" Fei said with her head bowed.

"Wait, wait, execute! Don't do it!" Boudica interrupted the two.

"If they survive, they may expose our marauding activities,"

Neos turned and looked at her: "But if they die in the city, the city people will only recognize them as the Celtics in the city before.

So, my lord queen, the dead are sometimes more useful than the living. "

"Ah? Is that so?" Boudica looked cute.

"Plus the news of the Issini's withdrawal had been broadcast a few days ago, so we have ample alibi."

"Wouldn't they question something so obvious that you can find a flaw if you think about it?"

"This is where it gets interesting, Your Lady Queen,"

Nios smiled: "The masses and public opinion seem to be easier to guide and deceive than children,

And the funniest thing is, after you've lied to them, they'll think it's their own idea. "

Unaware of the severity, Boudica nodded foolishly.

Neos supported his chin: "But only in this way, the only remaining Epos and other tribes in the city can honestly take the blame for us."

"Oh, you've talked about this before." Boudica seemed like a good student listening to the teacher's lecture.

"Um......"

Neos nodded and looked towards the city blankly, where it had gradually calmed down.

Next, according to the plan, the army will gather in formation at night according to the plan during the day, and set off before sunrise. When someone comes to investigate in the morning, they will only find an open space, and their credibility will increase again.

"So, Your Majesty Queen, you gave the common people courage, and now I draw out the anger in their hearts,

When anger grows toward the gallbladder, evil arises from the heart. "

The corners of his mouth became more and more upturned, and his smile was between ridicule and sympathy: "The conflicts between the two parties in the city have intensified. Over time, Epos is unbearable, so he can only abandon London and look for the next city that can be plundered."

Looking at his expression, Boudica felt an indescribable fear in his heart, and cold sweat slowly oozes from his back.

Neos spread his right hand towards the city, and slowly opened his palm, as if holding this huge city in his palm.

"Poor Epos, who thought I couldn't attack the city, but he didn't know that I had already taken 'his city' without a single soldier!"

(and ah)

Chapter 54

The road is winding and full of people and horses, like a black dragon crawling slowly.

The sound of horseshoes and the sound of wheels are intertwined, and the riders beat their whips and hold up their flags to lead the way for the people and vehicles behind them.

Surrounded by white mist, it is difficult to see the roads built by the Romans.

The long team can only follow the marks made by the scouts ahead and walk through the mountains and forests.

The infantry would occasionally pass by the field, and then the crowd would disperse and gather again. After the large army left, only a mess was left, and even the overturned land was trampled flat.

"The appetite of just a few thousand people is already as terrible as locusts."

Boudica was riding on the horse, looking at the messy fields beside the road, he couldn't help sighing: "The Rome with hundreds of thousands of troops is really fucking rich!"

"Rome has a vast territory and many rich lands, so the tax revenue is naturally sufficient, but to defend such a large area, it naturally requires a large number of soldiers." Neos followed behind her.

Behind the two of them, the black-covered carriage followed slowly, its body bumping and shaking.

The small window was suddenly opened, and a small, almost transparent face poked out: "Master, how long will it take for us to go this way?"

"Anya!" Boudica snapped.

The girl panicked: "Ah, I'm sorry, Mom, I'm just afraid that my sister won't be able to bear it..."

Boudica's heart softened.

"Persevere, we will be there soon. Speaking of which, I have to thank the Romans for building the road." Nios said.

The girl gave an obedient "Oh", but she still didn't retract her head. She stared at Neos with bright eyes.

"What's wrong?" Neos asked.

"It's nothing." Anya shook her head, "It just feels different from the war I imagined."

"March to fight, march to fight, of course you have to march first and then fight."

Nios chuckled: "Although this is no longer taught in your class, you also need to know that wars start before the two armies meet."

Boudica slowed down and moved closer to him, listening and thinking.

Anya glanced at Grandma, thought it was a little funny, tilted her head and asked, "Why do you say that, teacher?"

"After a war, the time for the final confrontation is actually very short, but most of the time is spent marching, camping, cooking and drying clothes."

Neos pointed to the long queue and said, "But the outcome of the war is hidden in every detail of the process."

Boudica nodded thoughtfully.

"Thank you, master!" Anya gave Grandma a mischievous look, then smiled lightly at Neos, and shrank her head back.

After a long time, Boudica gave up thinking, looked at Nios thoughtfully, and sighed: "This child trusts you very much."

Neos raised his eyebrows: "What about you, Your Lady Queen?"

Boudica was taken aback: "I believe her."

Neos had a half-smile: "I hope so."

While the two were talking, the sound of horse hooves came from far and near. From the front of the team, a rider ran backwards.

Neos raised his hand to stop the procession.

The samurai Turner ran forward, got off his horse by the side of the road, and bowed to report: "Master Fei has a message from the front. She found traces of Roman scouts, but no ambushes have been found for the time being!"

Boudica blurted out from the side: "Gattus may know we are coming, do you want to speed up?"

Neos thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Let her investigate again!"

Turner replied subconsciously: "But, but we have already explored twice, I don't think there is any..."

"Ok?"

Nios glanced at him, frowned, sat on the horse, lowered his head and looked at him, although his expression was still indifferent, but his eyes did not move halfway, his hands folded and held the rein, he bent slightly, calmly He asked, "What did you just say?"

Those black eyes were as deep as an ancient pond, and Turner couldn't help but want to kneel down.

"No... I, I'll tell them..."

Nios straightened up and nodded: "Then send an order to the vanguard to strictly prevent the enemy from ambush and sneak attack. Whenever you pass by valleys, ferries and bridges, you will leave troops to guard them. If you pass through dense forests, rest on the spot and wait for the scouts to find out the situation before marching." .”

Turner replied "yes" repeatedly, got on his horse and left.
