Chapter 357: 355 Logistics Support_1
Catn slightly bent his body and leaned forward, his sword shing a green arc. The sword’s energy collided directly with the iing ground spike.
“Swish!”
Like cutting through tofu, Catn’s sword energy shattered the iing ground spike and continued towards the giant beetle without stopping.
Given the size and agility of the giant beetle, it was impossible to dodge. The beetle was sliced in half the moment it saw the sword energy.
The cut was smooth and even, although the giant beetle didn’t die immediately, it clearly had no fighting strength left.
After doing all this, Catn arrogantly stood still, striking an impressive pose.
Obviously, Mentor had no time to appreciate it, so he grabbed Catn’s arm and tried to escape.
With giant beetles and burrowing worms everywhere, as well as aplex environment, staying here for an extended period would be unwise.
Fortunately, Mentor had something up his sleeve. In his hurry, he pulled out a tattered scroll from his pocket and bit it open with his teeth.
Then, a rock magic puppet, about five or six meters tall, appeared beside him.
He summoned the puppet not as a bodyguard, but for a more specific purpose.
Without waiting for Catn’s approval, Mentor threw him into one of the puppet’srge hands.
As for himself, he quickly climbed onto the otherrge hand of the puppet.
The puppet then threw them upwards, one after the other.
The puppet’s strength was immense, not only allowing them to escape the deep pit sessfully but also throwing them high into the air.
If they were to fall like this, they would lose limbs even if they didn’t die.
Fortunately, Catn was not only skilled in martial arts but also in magic.
After casting a Featherfall Skill on himself, he didn’t forget to apply one to his friend Mentor as well.
As he descended slowly through the air, Catn looked down at the chaotic battle and couldn’t help but feel conflicted. At first nce, it seemed that the Dawn Legion did not have an advantage in a head-on battle.
This was still under the scorching sun when the troublesome spiritual undead creatures were unable to appear.
It was only now that Catn understood that when he left the Dawn Forest, the current Elf King repeatedly warned him not to underestimate the undead.
Looking back at the history of the whole continent, it was a tale of suffering and disaster.
Just as the humanoid creatures of the continent had finally been freed from the tyranny of dragons and giants, they faced invasions of demons and the ravages of undead.
Even now, the Land of Red mes is still full of demons, and the Death Swamp is filled with undead creatures.
In short, what was happening in the Dragon Bone Wastnd was nothingpared to the past of this continent.
Catnnded slowly on the ground, and soon arge group of elite elf warriors surrounded him.
Under their protection, Catn and Mentor began to retreat slowly and safely.
The battle continued untilte at night, and with the spirit undead joining the fight, the situation became even more difficult for the Dawn Legion.
In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, and at Mentor’s urging, Catn issued themand to retreat.
After suffering some losses, the Dawn Legion safely withdrew to a location far from Purgatory City.
Because they had to leave in a hurry, most of the soldiers could only sit on the ground to rest.
They had lost their settlements and, in addition to losing tents that could shelter them from wind and rain, they also lost arge amount of supplies and food.
With only the food they carried themselves, they couldst at most for two more days.
Deeply aware of the seriousness of the situation, Catn once again sought out Angelina, but this time his attitude changed drastically.
Upon seeing Angelina enter the tent, Catn immediately stood up to greet her personally.
Wearing a smile, he asked softly, “Your Majesty, Queen of Vide, how about the supply lines…?”
Angelina knew clearly what Catn was thinking.
At this moment, she looked troubled and said, “Thest time a supply unit arrived at Dragon Bone Wastnd was two days ago. ording to the usual schedule, the next supply unit should arrive in five days…”
Every seven days, a logistics unit would deliver food and various supplies across Vide’s territory to the Dragon Bone Wastnd.
Under normal circumstances, this speed was already fast, and it was clear that Angelina had put much effort into it.
However, with the army now about to run out of food in two days, should the Dawn Legion fight on empty stomachs or withdraw from the Dragon Bone Wastnd?
Neither of these oues was easily eptable to Catn.
So, he asked Angelina sternly, “Can’t the speed be increased…?”
Hearing Catn’s plea, Angelina frowned, looking distressed.
Just as Catn was about to despair, she finally spoke, “As you know, the supplies prepared by the logistics unit are obtained from Felton, then they have to cross Vide’s territory before they reach Dragon Bone Wastnd.
This round trip naturally takes more time.
If it’s really that urgent, you can save a lot of time by getting supplies directly from a town close to the Dragon Bone Wastnd in Vide.”
Hearing this, Catn quickly asked, “Then how soon can the new supplies arrive?”
Angelina thought for a moment, then said, “Three days… No! At the earliest, they can arrive in two and a half days!
We have amunication crystal here that can contact Vide at any time. The town closest to Dragon Bone Wastnd in Vide is just within themunication crystal’s range.
If we can get the town to send supplies directly, I believe it will take just two and a half days to get to us.”
With that said, amidst Catn’s excitement, Angelina added, “Of course, a small border town has limited resources.
Given the current situation of the Dawn Legion, even if the supplies arrive sessfully, it would onlyst for about two more days.”
“That’s enough, that’s enough!”
Catn pped his hands, “Can’t you contact other towns in Vide’s territory through them? Let’s extend the supplies for two more days, giving us enough time to wait for the other supplies!”
