Chapter 415: Chapter 383: A Slap in the Face
To handle the Rocky issue, Goth took immediate action overnight.
First, he decided to expand the range of the troops meeting the trading convoy, which would usually only extend to within the battle zone, but in light of the Jindafu Caravan being attacked, Goth expanded it beyond the battle zone to ensure the safety of the convoys.
Second, he urgently notified all escort fleets currently on mission to double their vigilance.
Third, he dispatched reconnaissance ships to conduct extensive
“What is the cargo on the ship?”
Upon hearing the words Azure Commerce Guild, Goth’s already furrowed brows couldn’t help but tighten even further, twisting into knots because he clearly remembered that the Azure Commerce Guild specialized in providing them with medicines!
And indeed, the official went on to say, “It’s thirty ships’ worth of medicines…”
“What!”
At these words, Goth sprang from his seat, his eyes bulging with shock!
Thirty ships of medicines…
This significant loss made Goth quite uneasy.
The previous attack on the Jindafu Caravan, though it also lost more than thirty ships’ cargo, was mainly in charge of supplying Chenxiu City with Magic Stones. While these strategic materials were very important, there were ample reserves both in Chenxiu City and on the front lines, so the loss of thirty ships full of Magic Stones, though substantial, didn’t have a large impact on the entire battle zone.
But it was different with the loss of medicines this time.
In the current level and scale of warfare, the total number of warships deployed in a single battle could near a thousand, or even surpass it, and the number of Void Magic Warriors deployed would be in the hundreds. Therefore, every battle would result in a large number of injured, making medicines perpetually in short supply. Hence, the sudden loss of thirty ships of medicines was so massive that even Goth found it hard to bear!
“Bastard!”
With eyes wide, Goth stared at the official before him and, after a moment, roared in anger, all while violently throwing the vase from the desk against the wall with a crash.
After that, he began pacing back and forth in his study with a crown of fury, evidently trying to think of a strategy.
With Goth’s experience, it wasn’t hard to see that the enemy’s intent was clearly to exploit the vulnerability in Chenxiu City’s troop rotations and cause as much damage as possible. But the timing the enemy had chosen was so impeccable that even though Goth knew their intent, he couldn’t fight back because he truly had no spare troops at hand.
This matter also gave Goth an ominous feeling.
Firstly, from the enemy’s actions over the past couple of days, it was apparent that this series of attacks was well-planned and thoroughly prepared, meaning that the enemy not only had been planning this for a long time, but they definitely had follow-up moves.
Secondly, the enemy wasn’t just planning a hit-and-run; they were likely aiming to conduct guerilla warfare in the battle zone for the long term, attacking the supply lines repeatedly.
Realizing these two points, Goth felt a sinking feeling because if that were the case, then the pressure faced by Chenxiu City would be enormous unless he could wipe out the enemy completely. Otherwise, as long as they couldn’t catch the enemy, all supply lines would be under constant threat, with no one knowing whether they would be attacked next, causing all the caravans to be in a state of panic.
What would Chenxiu City do then?
This couldn’t go on, so Goth made a swift decision; after calming his rage, he immediately said to the official from before, “Contact the Alliance Hierarch at once, and ask him to send over two Sky Cities immediately, preferably mid-sized Sky Cities.”
“Yes!”
With an affirmative response, the official hurriedly left, while Goth settled back into his seat, his brow still tense…
