Under Juan's surprised gaze, old Zach said with trembling lips:

"Our supply convoy was attacked!"

"What? Where was it attacked? Who did it?"

Faced with Juan's cannon-like questions from his soul, Old Zach continued to tremble, as if he didn't know where to start.

Morgan saw that the other party was pitiful and handed over the whiskey. Old Zach took it and drank it in one gulp.

Then it sprayed like rain.

"Ahem, I thought it was water. Ahem, it choked me to death."

…

Juan, who rushed to the scene of the incident with 50 Dragon Self-Defense Team members, saw the mess on the ground.

Even the continuous rain could not dilute the strong smell of blood.

None of the 10 elves' corpses was complete, and even the horses pulling the cart were killed.

The painful expressions on the faces of the deceased showed that they had suffered inhuman torture and also revealed the identity of the attacker.

Old Zach asserted: "It's the drow! Apart from them, no humanoid would do such a vicious killing!"

Juan, Morgan, and all the humans present were convinced of this.

Juan had a headache. He had just beaten away the orcs led by Jack. It had only been a few easy days, but why did the drow come up?

"Can you see how many drow there are?"

Morgan, who is proficient in hunting, shook his head: "The traces have been processed, so I can't tell, but it shouldn't be a large force."

"Can they be tracked?"

"It's very difficult. They are proficient in stealth, and in this weather, even if they occasionally leave a trace, they will be destroyed by the rain."

The enemy is dark and we are clear, how difficult it is.

"Go down and tell everyone not to run outside if you have nothing to do."

Old Zach pointed at the scattered supplies: "Your Excellency, there are not many other activities on heavy rainy days, so it doesn't matter if we stop.

"But the supply convoy going to Kesselring Pass cannot be stopped."

Juan asked: "How many days can this convoy supply last the mountain pass?"

Old Zach: "Three days. It takes three days for a horse-drawn carriage convoy to go there, so we send a convoy every three days to ensure that the front line has constant food supply."

Juan ordered: "Reduce the frequency of convoys and change them to once every seven days. Increase the escort strength and send elf guards to accompany them."

Morgan reminded: "If you do it once every seven days, you can only send non-perishable food, and frontline soldiers may complain."

Juan nodded: "This really needs to be considered. Inform Thorin and ask him to do more work. The skills he learned from the army instructor can be used."

Old Zach hesitated and said: "I don't know how many drow are coming up. If there are too few elven guards, I'm afraid they won't be able to carry them. If there are too many, supplies will be consumed along the way."

It's not too far from the Elf Town to the Kesselin Pass. A horse-drawn carriage team can reach it in three days. How much supplies can the Elf Guards consume?

Juan heard that the focus of Old Zach's words was not the consumption of supplies, but the worry that the Elf Guards would not be able to defeat the Drow.

He patted Old Zach on the shoulder and said: "I sent 20 dragon self-defense members to join the escort."

Old Zach smiled: "That's good. With the Self-Defense Force here, those drow will definitely not dare to approach."

Juan had experienced battles with drow and knew how arrogant those guys were, but he didn't want to dampen old Zach's morale.

For the next two weeks, it still rained every day without any accidents.

Thorin followed the changing soldiers back to the building, and he reported:

"There are no problems with the defense at the Yamaguchi position and the morale of the soldiers.

"The supply convoy that comes every seven days has never been attacked. Those drow must have been scared when they saw so many guards.

"It's just that the dragon soldiers who were escorting us had a hard time. They went out and back for six days at a time and were soaked in the rain every day. They complained a lot."

Morgan added: "Dragon people would migrate to the desert during the rainy season in previous years. They are desert creatures and are not used to raining every day."

But Juan couldn't come up with a good solution now. He ordered: "Solin, you go back to work and use the brainwashing tools of the army instructor, which you are familiar with."

Thorin said goodbye: "What the instructor said is the truth, where is the brainwashing!"

Juan knew that he could not defeat Thorin on this issue. It would be more difficult for a person whose brain had been cleaned to change his mind than to kill him.

So Juan changed his words and said: "Yes, what the instructor said is the truth. Please work hard and instill the truth."

"Okay! I'm going to indoctrinate! The army should behave like an army!

"My special forces, your special forces, our special forces, the Human Alliance special forces..."

Thorin happily ran out of Juan's office singing military songs.

Juan and Morgan looked at each other helplessly.

"Morgan, let's go back and recruit some self-defense team members to see if there are any who are not afraid of water."

"Okay, I'll look for it later.

"By the way, the spies sent to the orc tribe came with news."

"Oh!" Juan pricked up his ears, "Do you have an approximate time for the next attack by the orcs?"

"No, it's not that I didn't find out, it's really not true.

"In fact, the orcs have left the plains on the other side of Mount Kilimanjaro and migrated to the edge of the desert further north."

"Leave? Stop fighting? Can Jack agree?"

"Of course Jack didn't agree. According to the spies, Jack and the orc leader Durotan had a fierce quarrel and almost started fighting on the spot."

"Almost, that means you didn't start doing it?"

"It's not working."

"Oh, what a pity. It would be great if we could do it. It would be nice if anyone died."

"It's a dead man, a big chief who jumped out to blame Jack.

"The chief complained that Jack went out with more than a thousand orcs, but failed to conquer the mountain pass, and only brought back less than half of the orcs. He said that Jack was the cause of trouble."

"I like this chief, what next?"

"Then he turned to ashes, and Jack used him to establish his authority, trying to scare Durotan into listening to him.

"But it is the tradition of the orcs to move north during the rainy season. The orcs overwhelmingly support the leader Durotan, and there is nothing Jack can do no matter how arrogant he is.

"But a grudge has been made. You know Jack, you must avenge yourself."

"Hey, that's good news. But why do the orcs have to move north?"

"Shelter from the rain. They live in shacks. They can't withstand the rainy season. If they don't move to the edge of the desert where there is less rain, a large number of orcs will definitely die of illness during this rainy season."

"That means that the Kesselring Pass will be safe throughout the rainy season?"

"It should be. Should we withdraw the soldiers from Yamaguchi? That way there will be no need to send a supply convoy."

"No, we can't withdraw. Jack was born in the army and must have studied "The Art of War". Who knows if he will come to recruit someone to "secretly attack Chen Cang". We don't need to take this risk."

"Do you think he knows how to practice martial ethics? No, the book I read says that you must practice martial ethics when fighting."

"I told you to read less novels earlier, but that was all a lie. Anyone who knows martial arts ethics in fighting will think he won't die fast enough!"

"Writing ethics in war is not what you read in novels. I saw it in "A Collection of Interesting Facts about the Ancient United Nations". At that time, a spokesman for a big country said that a certain small country did not respect martial ethics when fighting with them, and agreed to fight in the south.

Yes, it ended up going north."

"Is there such a thing?"

"Yes, do you think that small country does not respect martial ethics?"

"I said that the spokesman must have never read "The Art of War", but if he had, he would never speak like this.

"Okay, stop talking about those irrelevant things, let's go have a drink together?"

"Okay, this is such a bad weather. If you don't drink a drink to dispel the dampness, your bones will be sore."
