Chapter 1223: Blockade of Zulukou (Part 2)
After that, Deng Jiaer picked up the teapot on the side and filled the two teacups that had been empty at some point with black tea.
Gary happened to be a little thirsty now.
So after Deng Jiaer filled his cup with black tea, Gary thanked him, then picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp.
"Tsk tsk..."
After drinking the tea in the cup, Gary smacked his lips with a look of regret on his face.
"Oh..." Gary sighed, "I really want to drink..."
"Gary, please bear with me a little."
Deng Jiaer continued to comfort Gary.
"When this war is over, you can drink to your heart's content."
Gary's biggest hobby is drinking.
He is the drunkest and the biggest drinker in the Knights of Michael.
At the same time - Gary is quite accomplished in wine tasting and wine selection.
When some people in the Knights go to buy expensive drinks, they ask Gary to help them choose to avoid buying fake or inferior wine.
Although Gary loved wine, he was never an alcoholic.
Drink when you should drink, and never drink when you shouldn't - this is Gary's drinking rule.
After the war began, Gary would not touch a drop of alcohol.
It has been several months since I followed Su Cheng south.
Gary hadn't had a drop of alcohol in months.
Not to mention touching it, Gary had never even seen a bottle of wine.
You can imagine how hard it must be for an old drinker like Gary to go so long without drinking.
Even Deng Jiaer couldn't help but comforted Gary a few words out of sympathy for him.
After sighing a few more times, Gary turned his head and looked outside the tent.
Because the curtain at the entrance to the formation's tent was open, Gary and Deng Jiaer could see the not-so-sunny sky outside even though they were inside the tent.
"I don't know when the enemy will learn that the Donghukou of Anga Lake has been blocked by our army and send troops to lift the blockade..."
As soon as Gary finished speaking, Deng Jiaer said in a half-joking tone:
"The enemy might not invade. Let our army block the Zlukou of Anga Lake."
"This kind of thing is unlikely to happen." Gary smiled, "After all, the enemy commander is not a fool. As long as he is not a fool, he probably won't let us cut off their retreat."
After saying that, Gary turned his head again, looked outside the tent again, and whispered to himself:
"This kind of time waiting for the enemy to come to your door is quite torturous..."

Britannia Empire, Lake Anga, Royal Fleet, Flagship Helles——
The sudden bad news forced Otto to summon all the generals in the army with a heavy face.
The content of this bad news is that their rear area - the East Lake Mouth of Anga Lake: Zlukou was blocked by the Britannia Imperial Army.
The content of this suddenly convened military meeting was naturally exactly how to deal with the Britannia army's blockade of Zlukou in their rear.
As soon as the generals arrived, Otto dispensed with all pleasantries and directly announced to the generals all the intelligence he had collected so far.
"According to the information sent back by the scouts, the flag flying in the enemy camp is the flag of the Knights of Michael."
"What can be concluded at present is that the enemy force blocking Zlukou is the Knights of Michael."
"For now, let's call this enemy army blocking Zilukou the 'Zilu Army'. This will make it easier for us to call it."
"The military camp of the Zulu Army is well-defended, and our scouts cannot get close at all. Therefore, it is not yet known which unit of the Michael Knights this enemy army blocking the entrance of Zulu is."
"But judging from the size of the camp, the total strength of the Zulu Army should be less than 20,000."
"They used iron chains to connect the north and south banks of Zlukou, and used iron chains to block Zlukou."
“What do you think – how should we act now?”
As soon as Otto finished speaking, the generals expressed their opinions one after another.
No one has any objection to the fact that the Michael Knights' blockade of Zlukou must be lifted.
The main disagreement among the generals is how to lift the blockade.
Some people think that a message should be sent to the Rhineland Plain to ask Walter and others for help.
Some people think that asking Walter for help is time-consuming and unnecessary.
This group of people who were unwilling to ask Walter for help believed that the strength of their royal fleet alone was enough to lift the blockade of Zilukou by the Michael Knights.
Both groups of people have their own valid reasons.
After a while, Otto finally made up his mind:
"Stop arguing."
As soon as Otto said this, the noisy generals immediately fell silent.
"Ask Walter for help."
Otto expressed his decision in a calm tone.
"We should now focus on our forces to defeat the combined fleet of the Britannia Empire."
"If we divide our forces to lift the blockade of Zlukou, it will only weaken our strength advantage over the combined fleet."
"Let Walter find a way to help us lift the blockade in our rear."
At this point, Otto paused.
Then the corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.
"Besides, our elite infantry cavalry headed by the Iron Armored Holy Cavalry and the Holy Armored Soldier have been eating and sleeping these days. It's time to let them move."
…
…
While the combined fleet led by Su Cheng and the royal fleet commanded by Otto were fighting bloody battles in Lake Anga——
Rolin Empire, Imperial Capital Tuli, Imperial Palace, Council Hall——
The Council Hall was filled with civil and military officials of the Rolin Empire.
Vivian and her translator stood quietly in the guest seats of the Council Hall, waiting for Queen Bella to arrive.
Vivian arrived in Tuli——This happened three days ago.
In the past three days, Queen Bella used the highest courtesy she could think of to entertain Vivian.
Since being hit hard by the two large-scale offensives of the Britannia Empire, "Spring Awakening" and "Summer Breeze" five years ago, the Rolin Empire has suffered from severe "Britannia phobia".
It was precisely because Queen Bella was afraid of the strong national strength and military power of the Britannia Empire that she hesitated to make up her mind whether to take advantage of the current weakness of the Britannia Empire and take back the lost land that was taken away by the Britannia Empire five years ago due to the Treaty of Troyes.
It was precisely because Queen Bella had a strong fear of the Britannia Empire that she did not dare to neglect the envoys sent by the Britannia Empire when she broke off relations with the Empire. In order to avoid giving the envoys of the Britannia Empire a bad impression.
In the past three days, Vivian has lived a luxurious life that she had never imagined before.
The reason why she had never imagined it before was that the luxury of life in these three days completely exceeded the limit of Vivian's previous imagination.
