The rebels fled all the way, looking scattered, but when they looked back and saw no pursuers coming, they gathered one after another.

Before the battle, the army had been divided into five routes by Amy, and the gathering points for each route to retreat were determined. With the experience that the soldiers were unable to gather after Ella divided the troops and crossed the sea, Amy distributed the food to the gathering point in advance. Even in order to get the food, the soldiers had to meet at the gathering point as planned.

Having said that, in order to prevent any person from leaking the secret after being captured, the specific content of this plan is only known by the centurion of each team. For most soldiers, this is really a major retreat. The troops will inevitably be dispersed and morale will inevitably be depressed. In addition, the combat losses pursued by Nesaval Koyotel's army, the number of people gathered at various strongholds is far smaller than before the battle.

Even Ulf, a member of the staff team who knew Amy's plan, was a little depressed. Because he was from the academy and had no experience in commanding the troops, Estrard and Yarmar both went to retreat with a unit, but he was still with Amy's side.

"Chief of Staff, we are all the pro-guards brought by the Swedish king along the way, and the losses are fine. But the number of people from other routes should not be optimistic. I estimate that the losses are at least 50%.

"It's not entirely a bad thing. We don't have much food at all. Those weak people who can't escape the enemy without taking anything, those who can't even run with the centurion, and those who have no will to fight at all, run away. Distributing the food to the remaining people is more conducive to our combat."

"Food is already tight, and we deliberately intercepted some for Nesavalkoyotel..."

"The food given by Toulu Akanban happened to be effective at this time. Nesavalkoyotel could not have any other food. If he did not give him the food for these three days, he would find that he was a fraudulent defeat and continued to pursue him. To avoid him, it would cost more than three days of food."

"In order to defeat, we had to lose half of our weapons, which was an iron weapon. Once we were thrown away, we were picked up by Nesavalkoyotel's army, and the gap between the two sides would be even greater."

"Don't worry, Ulf, I just reviewed what we held in our hands and determined what we could throw away." Amy said, "Think about it, we gave Honduras a batch of weapons for free, but in the end we made all of them back. This is the necessary investment to get more profits and what we learned when doing business."

"But Chief of Staff, you have so much extra money... Why do I still look very worried?"

"Because Nesavalkoyotel really didn't chase after him." Amy's brows turned into several knots. "In theory, he would at least chase our team. No team chased us. This is unreasonable, it's really unreasonable. What exactly does he want to do?"

Despite such concerns, Nesavalcoyotel did nothing and Amy could not do anything. After calming the soldiers' emotions, she turned her attention to the next trip - to reach Mevara Niga, they still needed to pass through at least five city-states.

In order to avoid the eyes and ears of the city-state and avoid the alertness of Nessaval Koyotel after receiving the news, the five hundred guards were still too large and needed to be further dispersed. So Amy divided them into a group of about ten people. She remembered the lesson of Ella's crossing the Black Sea Strait, and did not set the meeting place directly in Movara Niga, but stipulated that she would gather once a day.

Every morning, the soldiers lined up to receive half a day of share of food. After listening to the introduction of the local guide specially drawn from the rebels, they began to act independently, and gathered again at the reservation location in the morning in the evening to receive the food for the evening. By controlling the rations, she ensured that the soldiers would not leave the team and act without authorization.

The march was smooth at the beginning. But a week later, a strange disease began to spread in the army. The soldiers were dizzy, nausea and vomiting, limbs became weak, and they couldn't even eat.

"It's been too long since I've eaten salt." Lübeck's merchant ran over and said, "I just wanted to store food, but I didn't think I wanted to use it as military rations, so I didn't prepare salt!"

"What do you mean?" Amy was amazed at the merchant's initiative to run out. He had always looked heartbroken when he ate the food he had stored these days.

"Give me some funds and ask me to go to the nearby city-state to purchase a batch, and lick the symptomatic soldiers and get rid of the disease!" The businessman rubbed his hands with a smile, "Leave it to me, keep the price and press down!"

Amy knew that the businessman must have wanted to get kickbacks in the middle. But the rest of the team either did not have the convenience of coming forward or did not have the brain to do business, so she accepted it.

The merchant carried a few bags of cocoa beans and ran to the nearby city-state with a smile. Amy asked the troops to rest on the spot for a while, waiting for news from the merchant.

In the evening, the merchant returned with a few packs of salt with a few bags of salt. The cocoa beans he gave had been used up. According to the merchant, during the war, the salt had risen like grain, and the only ones in the bag were the cheapest coarse salt.

Amy didn't have the heart to study this matter carefully. After licking the salt to the soldiers, after taking a break, the soldiers recovered their spirits.

It was impossible to march today, and Amy was going to rest on the spot for another day. The soldiers set fire to cook. When they had enough food and drink, the merchant came over with a smile.

"Sir, when I went to buy salt this time, I found out something that might be important..."

"What?"

"Important... maybe a little unimportant... or maybe very important... But what is the specific content... I can't remember it anymore... but it seems that I can remember it again..."

Amy sighed and threw a bag of cocoa beans to the merchant: "Give it, can you remember it now?"

"I don't want money." The merchant waved his hand and returned the wallet to Amy. "I just thought about whether I could remember a merit if it was important information. When I go back to the mainland, I will bring me one and don't leave me here..."

"What exactly is the news? I remind you that you are fighting now, and you are part of our army. If there is news, you will not be able to escape if something happens!"
