If Sean were here right now, he would be surprised at how Kayla has changed over the years...
From a female thief who stole everywhere in the past, she has become a well-known cadre of the Survey Corps today. In the process of transformation, she gradually found her future goals.
In a city on the western front of Jagun, Keira needs to complete the Survey Corps' next mission of collecting intelligence.
Although this place is not a frontline war city, it is also one of the big cities in the oasis, and it is very close to the front line... Sometimes the shouts of the Borg army at night will be heard with the cold wind in the desert.
Even if it’s not the front line, it’s better than the front line!
Most ordinary residents are already trying to migrate into the oasis, but some people will continue to come.
After coming to Jagun for so many years, Kaira gradually discovered that the desert people are also a very religious people, especially their competitive spirit is no weaker than any other country in the world. The reason why Jagun has been able to stand among the desert countries for so many years is that it has always had a strong sense of belonging.
When many talented people heard that the battle on the eastern front had tied up the entire Jagun army, they actually took the initiative to join the battlefield.
Nowadays...
The local army is not strong enough to resist the Borg, but the power of the people is very strong.
There is even a vague idea that civilian forces are the real main force resisting the Borg.
The people who provided Kayla with this information were some powerful people from the public...
According to the prior agreement, Kayla came to the place where the other party provided information, a relatively quiet hotel.
Many houses in Jagun are built with yellow sand. After all, this is the most common material in the desert. It is made of yellow sand mixed with some special plant liquid, livestock manure and water. Almost all buildings are built in this way.
But at least it is relatively well designed and not ugly. Instead, it has many artistic details that cannot be achieved by wooden houses.
Keira came to the agreed tavern early to wait...
No one has arrived yet.
It seems like it’s time for our pre-arranged appointment, but the person hasn’t shown up yet!
I glanced at the door, but there was no one worth noting...
There are quite a few people in this tavern, but since I came in, almost no one has paid attention to me. Does this mean that the person who provided the information has not arrived yet?
Kaila was born a thief, so she paid close attention to the gazes of passersby. The key was to be able to tell who was the problem among them and to distinguish them...
But there is none now.
Was the information wrong? Or was there an accident?
Kayla was not sure but still did it in a fixed position.
By the window,
This is the place the two of them agreed upon. Now I am here, but the other party has not come.
"Sir, what can I help you with?"
Suddenly, a middle-aged man who looked like a bartender came over.
"Any tea will do, and some camel jerky, too."
"Well, there isn't much food left now, and these are all we can offer..." said the bartender.
"Is it difficult now?"
After hearing what the other party said, Kayla couldn't help but ask.
However, the bartender turned around and looked at me with a look that said, "How could you not know this?"
"No, what I mean is that is the food supply difficult on the front line now?" Ever since she started working in intelligence, Kayla has paid close attention to these small details. She didn't care about them before, but now she finds that this is often the case to determine success or failure.
Back then, on the battlefield between the Bashalan Empire and the Borg, Bashalan was actually able to resist in the actual frontal battle, relying on the advantage of winter to drag the Borg into a dead end...
But the Borg are not stupid. They can see through Bashalan's thoughts, so they never carry out massacres in the cities they capture. They always drive the refugees to the south. This is very similar to the way His Royal Highness fights now, using the people of their country to drag them down!
This way it doesn't cost too much...
Now, if food supply is insufficient, it may become the fuse of the next problem.
“Hey~”
The bartender sighed.
"Now many rangers from other places and wizard organizations outside the Empire have arrived, and even mercenaries have come to the front lines to help. They have indeed provided great assistance in the battle... But they have no food. All food needs to be supplied by the local lords. We don't have much in stock on weekdays, so we can't give it all away to contribute!"
Some businessmen were not stingy and knew that the country would be destroyed and the family would be ruined, so they were willing to give out food and supplies as long as they had them.
But this was still not enough. The supply to the front was in urgent need, and the supply lines in the rear could not be transported normally due to the large-scale migration of civilians and the fact that the Imperial Army had not yet left the battlefield on the Eastern Front.
Fighting on two fronts is extremely draining on a country's national strength... It is difficult to maintain order without unified guidance.
Unfortunately, the local lords cannot be completely unified!
Although the Sun King had given the order, they still relied mainly on the defense of their respective city lords, and even if they had troops and supplies, they rarely provided them.
This could become a big problem.
"That would be troublesome!"
"That's why we asked you to come and find a solution for us. We also have other news to tell you!"
Kayla was suddenly startled and looked at the bartender in front of her again...
I searched for so long but couldn't find it was him.
"It seems I hid it well."
Kayla smiled helplessly.
"That's right. You fooled me this time too."
The other party sat down across from Kayla, and at this time, the bartenders in other places stood up again. After seeing this, it was realized that the entire tavern was the other party's camp, and these bartenders were the real people they were looking for.
"We originally belonged to a civilian organization, but we are willing to help during this time of war in our country, so this time we tried every possible way to get in touch with Lord Keira."
Kayla had come here because she had received a message from the other party. She had never expected that her actions would be discovered by a civilian organization...
This shows that this organization is quite strong.
"I won't go into any more small talk. The main thing is, I hope Lady Keira can use your connections to reopen the supply route. Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to continue fighting on the front lines. That's the first point. Secondly, we recently received news that the Borg may be planning to attack our water source!"
"Water source?!!"
Kayla said in surprise.
Water is a very important supply resource in the desert...
"That's right. It's difficult for them to take our city. The only thing they can do is use these things. As for the third one... We recently received news that a group of Borg troops are secretly heading towards the ruins of the Temple of the Sun. We don't know their specific purpose."
