Peerless Taoist

Chai Longxiang said, "I've already arranged for my subordinates to patrol the entire army. With the suppression of the spirit stone Cannon, the Tang army should not be able to launch an attack for a while."    

Lu Yu nodded, but he thought of another matter.    

"Go and call the military supply officer over!" Lu Yu said.    

Very quickly, the military officer was called over.    

This military officer was not a civil official, but a Great General. Because he had been injured a few years ago, I was unable to participate in external battles. I could only remain as a military officer in the rear.    

"Greetings, Lords." The military officer was very generous. Even when he saw a few high-ranking generals, he was still calm and collected.    

Within the central tent, only the Provincial Governors and Chai Longxiang were still there.    

Lu Yu asked, "How long can the rations of the army last?"    

This was what Lu Yu cared about the most.    

Li Mi was right about one thing. The Qianlong Army had come all the way here, so grain had always been a problem.    

Although everyone had some grain in their hands, a huge army of over ten million soldiers consumed a lot of food every day.    

Cultivators nowadays could not eat and drink like the ancient immortals. Fasting was only a legend. Just by devouring spiritual energy, the human body would become quite weak.    

The military official said, "According to the accounts, the army's stockpile of food is still able to support it..."    

"I don't want the numbers on the accounts. I want you to tell me personally." Lu Yu interrupted him.    

On the military account book, there were clearly different amounts of resources.    

Moreover, there was not only one military officer. There were more than three military officers who shared the records. If there was a large deviation in their records, they would be investigated and held accountable.    

Lu Yu had already seen the account book with his own eyes, but he was still prepared to ask in person.    

The military officer thought for a while and said in a deep voice, "The current grain can only last for three days."    

The few people beside him revealed shocked expressions. They had long been mentally prepared, but after hearing this number, they were still shocked.    

Only three days. Even if they wanted to break through Tiger Cage Pass, they would not be able to.    

Song Qinhu asked, "The surrounding Star-Seizing Manor has supplies. Could it be that they are also unable to gather military rations?"    

Along the way, they had reclaimed many of the stars that had been occupied by the Tang army.    

The Tang army travelled at lightning speed. They did not plan to operate the stars for a long period of time. They only sent out some troops to defend the strongholds.    

As Great Yu's army advanced, these strongholds were pulled out one after another, and the territory that originally belonged to Great Yu was also reclaimed.    

A wry smile appeared on the military supply officer's face. "It seems that the Tang army had long predicted that we would lack rations. They took away all the rations in various places ahead of time, and some places even started a famine. Groups of mortals died."    

"Take away those that can, and destroy those that can't. We investigated further and found that at least a few stars had been destroyed. Many places that could survive had been turned into scorched earth. Some of them fled in groups of three to five, but many areas of the mortal world had long since become purgatory. That's no longer a place for humans to stay."    

Lu Yu frowned, "By doing this, aren't they afraid of suffering the wrath of heaven?"    

The Chameleon Elephant let out a long sigh. "To them, as long as they can win the war... It doesn't matter what methods you use. Not to mention, mortals are just ants to them. They don't care about the lives of ants."
