Give Me the Name of God

Chapter 404 Closing the Net

Brayton walked out of the camp and nodded to Shelty, indicating that he had completed his mission.

Everyone's faces lost their color, they knew what had just happened.

Tong Kede followed Shertai for nearly thirty years. He failed to win a battle and was executed by Shertai.

As a grand duke and a commander-in-chief, he seems to have done nothing wrong, but how to solve the current problem? The army is running out of food.

Shelty had already planned this. The road to transport food was no longer feasible, but the problem of food could still be solved through traditional methods, that is, robbery.

There are several small towns around Parrot City. In Shelty's eyes, attacking these small towns is about as difficult as clearing a few honeycombs.

Poke down the honeycomb, kill all the bees, and eat the honey. It's that simple. Even if you are stung by bees occasionally, it won't hurt.

Stealing all the food in these small towns would be enough for the army to feed them for two months. With these two months, they can definitely capture Parrot City.

In addition, he also assigned a group of troops to guard the main transportation route to Crispy Rock Mountain.

He knew the Crisp Rock Mountain very well. He knew that there was no food produced there, and the enemy troops guarding the Crisp Rock Mountain also needed food supplies.

Holding the main road can cut off the food source of Crisp Rock Mountain. Not only can it obtain food, but it can also push Crisp Rock Mountain into a desperate situation. Such a meticulous tactical thinking made Shelty sincerely praise his own wisdom, and at the same time, he was even more disappointed with his subordinates.

Especially seeing the generals with heavy responsibilities, Shelty always sighed secretly in his heart: You idiots, even if you are half as smart as me, this war will not become so difficult.

Their first target was Green Anaconda Town, which was the closest town to Parrot City. They robbed several villages along the way. They relied on a small amount of food to support themselves until they reached the vicinity of Green Anaconda Town.

Hearing that there were probably more than a thousand troops in this town, Shelty did not take them seriously. He even suspected that the lords here did not dare to make any resistance at all.

Just as he imagined, the lords made no resistance, and neither did the civilians. No one resisted, because the entire town was deserted, not even a single animal was seen.

Did everyone escape?

No wonder, the battlefield was nearby, and these country bumpkins didn't have much knowledge, so it was reasonable for them to escape.

Shelty sent people to the granary to try their luck, but found not even a grain of wheat.

The food was almost running out and they could not stay too long. Sheltai immediately ordered to set off to attack the next target, Liuping Town.

The situation in Liuping Town was the same as that in Green Anaconda Town. There was no one in the town. Xie Ertai looted all the way and continued westward to Huanglan Town.

There was still no one in Huanglan Town. This time, Sheltai had some bad premonitions.

The food snatched from the villages was quickly eaten up, and even the villages were deserted as they continued to move west. The soldiers began to make a living by hunting and wild vegetables.

Next is Skylark Town. As before, this town is still empty.

To the west of Skylark Town is Grayfish Town. Shelty hesitated because Grayfish Town is the holy land of God's Punisher.

According to the rumors created by Manda, Roman Wilkins conquered several small towns and led the refugees to capture Parrot City. Then he was repulsed by Craig Monchik in the battle with Turbulence City, and then unknown. Whereabouts.

Shelty naturally didn't know that this was a lie made up by Manda. Like most people, he believed that Roman Wilkins was still in Grayfish Town.

Although he didn't care about Roman Wilkins, a reckless hero, he didn't want to offend Bucken. After all, this was a sacred place appointed by the Archbishop.

But he has no other choice now. The army is out of food and the soldiers are on the verge of collapse.

"First go to Roman Wilkins to negotiate and borrow some food from him. If he refuses, we can only use force."

Shelty sent an envoy to Grayfish Town, but he did not expect that Grayfish Town was exactly the same as the previous towns. The town was still empty.

At the same time, Shelty received some news that the enemy troops that had been elusive since the beginning of the war suddenly appeared.

Brayton discovered the Lion Girl's army. This time it was not a scam, it was really discovered.

Shelty was not at all happy when he received the news. Years of battlefield experience made him realize that he had made a mistake. He entered a trap, a trap that he could not have imagined in his dreams.

The southwest is no longer weak, let alone the scattered sand it once was. From Parrot City to Gray Fish Town, various towns cooperated with each other and laid out a perfect trap, forcing Shelty to get in.

Now the enemy has appeared, proving that they are going to close the net. Further west of Gray Fish Town is Qixing Mountain, which is Monchik's territory. A fierce battle is about to come.

"Enter Gray Fish Town first and let the soldiers rest for a while and eat something." Although he realized that he had made a mistake, Shelty was still full of confidence in the war. He had long been prepared to fight all the way to Blackwater City. There is nothing wrong with fighting in Qixing Mountain.

Brayton looked embarrassed and said: "Sir, we have nothing to eat."

"This is all mountainous, and the cavalry is of no use. Let them kill some of the horses, give the soldiers a full meal, and then search around to see if there are any villages."

The army arrived at Gray Fish Town. They originally thought that the place was really deserted, but they found one person, only one person, in a private house.

They thought the man was dead, only to find out he was just unconscious.

Shelty smiled when he saw this man.

"It seems we don't have to fight anymore. Let's send an envoy to talk to the enemy's general."

The lion girl followed Sheltai all the way to Gray Fish Town. She adopted Roma's suggestion and notified the villages and towns along the way in advance, asking everyone to evacuate to Qixing Mountain.

As for the part of the enemy troops who stayed at the main traffic road, the Lion Girl didn't pay attention at all. They wanted to trap Zigese on the crisp stone mountain, but they didn't know that Manu had opened up a new road in the mountains. Their food transportation The route does not have to go through that traffic artery at all. When the enemy troops staying there are about to starve to death, Zigese will naturally go down the mountain to collect them.

Now it was indeed time to close the net. The lion girl had already made contact with the poet. She asked the soldiers to join her in trapping Sheltai from both sides.

The trap-and-kill approach was not to beat him hard, but to trap Shelty in Gray Fish Town. If he dared to leave the town, he would be beaten to death. If he stayed in the town, he would starve to death.

The lion girl admired Roma's tactics very much: "I heard that you are a brave general, but I didn't expect that your tactics would be so vicious."

Roma gestured in sign language: On the battlefield, if I relied solely on bravery, I would not survive today.

This tactic was almost perfect. Unless he surrendered, Shelty would definitely die.

Unexpectedly, the envoy came to the door that afternoon, which surprised the lion girl: "Surrendered so quickly? They say that the Grand Duke is very brave. It seems that the rumors are really not credible."

The envoy read out a letter from Grand Duke Shelty in front of the Lion Girl. He was not here to surrender, but to persuade him to surrender. In the name of the Grand Duke, he ordered the Lion Girl to put down her weapons immediately.

The Leo woman didn't get angry. After following Manda for many years, she has become much more restrained.

She asked the messenger politely: "Are you done talking?"

The messenger suppressed his fear and replied: "That's all the Grand Duke said in his letter."

The lion girl smiled and said: "My hands are a bit lazy and I don't like writing very much. I will cut off your ears and nose as a response to the Grand Duke. Do you think this is sincerity?"

The two soldiers were about to hold the messenger down when they suddenly saw the messenger take out something and shouted: "Don't mess around!"

He took out a robe. The lion girl recognized that robe, especially the brooch on the robe.

That's Manda's wing-covering brooch.

"He is in our hands," the messenger said, holding the robe, "you must surrender immediately!"
