Chapter 356 Unexpected Reinforcements

At 7 on July 14, the village of Trinca was controlled by the Ante army.

Wang Zhong came out of the army headquarters and looked at the red spot in the sky.

Although it was already the second year of his time travel, he still found it very novel to see the sunset at ten o'clock in the evening.

He was just sighing when Nellie's voice entered his ears: "Are you done with your work? Do you want to have a midnight snack?"

Wang Zhong turned his head and looked at Nellie: "Oh, sure. Didn't you prepare midnight snacks for everyone in the division every day? Why don't you do that now?"

Nellie shrugged. "Because the girls who used to help me prepare midnight snacks are now in Yebao and didn't come with me."

Wang Zhong was shocked: "Did other people prepare those things for you before? I thought you did it all by yourself!"

Nellie looked at Wang Zhong speechlessly. "How is that possible? There are hundreds of people in the division headquarters. It's a big project to prepare midnight snacks for everyone. It's just that when it was distributed at the end, I pushed the portion for senior officers and staff officers."

Wang Zhong: "Eh? I always thought we had a midnight snack made by Lolita's mother!"

At this moment, Wang Zhong felt like he had discovered that Santa Claus was actually his father and that the child in Ultraman Tiga was a suit actor.

Nellie looked at Wang Zhong and said, "Don't call me mom. If you want to eat it now, I have to cook it myself."

Wang Zhong: "Then I want to eat frosted cookies and drink milk."

"No. I can only use my army rations! How about cans of Spam, rye bread, and vodka?"

Wang Zhong scratched his head. It seemed that the cooking class knew how to stir-fry sugar color and braised pork, which was a special skill of Seris. No, there was something more important to confirm.

"Nellie," he asked seriously, "did you also use our army rations for your midnight snack last year?"

"Yeah." Nelly nodded.

In other words, the variety of food in the supplies is not as rich as last year.

I don’t know if the supply situation will be worse next year.

Seeing Wang Zhong looking thoughtful, Nellie said, "A lot of the food supplies are raised locally. This place is poor, so it's like this. If you were in Yarvik, I could get you some frosting, cookies or other delicious food."

Wang Zhong: "Ah? Is that so? Wait a minute, do you know what I'm thinking?"

Nellie raised her right hand and circled her temple with her index finger twice: "I can think about it too. If I connect your question with the previous topic, it will be easy for me to understand what you mean."

Wang Zhong: "So, am I overthinking it? Our food supply is actually fine?"

"Yeah. Last winter was really difficult, but it's getting better now."

It turned out to be the case.

Just as Wang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, he saw Popov leading Su Fang and several unfamiliar aunts into the small courtyard where the headquarters was located.

When Su Fang saw Wang Zhong, she immediately smiled like a flower.

Nellie looked at her with her eyes tilted.

Popov took the initiative to speak: "This is the senior sister Sufang who just arrived. She--"

"Let me tell you." Su Fang stepped forward and saluted Wang Zhong. "Respected Lieutenant General Rokossov, I am here at the order of the Patriarch to lead the druids of the Folklore Research Society to help."

Wang Zhong: "What's 'Druid'?" "Druid." Su Fang repeated.

Folklore Research Society and Druids? Wang Zhong carefully looked at the aunts following Su Fang. Judging from their ages, they were indeed old enough to become "swamp witches" and "forest witches".

As for her looks - with the wrinkles on her face and some makeup, she can indeed go to a CRPG set and play an evil witch, especially the kind that lives deep in a swamp and eats children.

However, the clothes these aunties wear are very modern, suitable for them to play guest roles as investigators on the Cthulhu set next door.

At this time, the leading lady spoke up: "No wonder the general looks so confused. I told you long ago that we should put on our uniforms before coming over."

Wang Zhong: "Outfit?"

One of the aunts put down the suitcase in her hand, opened it, and showed Wang Zhong the contents.

The box contained necklaces made of dried chicken feet, tattered cloaks, voodoo dolls and other items that exuded an evil aura.

Wang Zhong: "If you come here wearing these, I might order the guards to shoot you."

Popov put his hand on Wang Zhong's shoulder and said, "Relax, these are our researchers. Like the quantum physicists at the Institute of Physics, they are all committed to uncovering the truth behind the mysterious power."

“Use dried chicken feet to crack it?” Wang Zhong asked back.

At this time, the lady showing the chicken feet said: "We don't understand what physicists say about de Broglie waves and Planck's constant. But you see, even if we don't study these mysterious things, we can still study the laws of mysterious forces."

Another auntie echoed: "The key is to do a lot of experiments and then summarize."

Wang Zhong: "Okay, okay, I get it. The church doesn't want to put all its eggs in the basket of physics, so it got something else, right? I guess there's also the Institute of Mysticism."

Su Fang: "Yes. There is also a scripture school, which mainly studies the influence of chanting on mysterious power. Every day, the pauses and tones of chanting are changed. By the way, I read their academic journal every issue."

Wang Zhong nodded: "I already understand the efforts made by the church to crack the mysterious power. Now what I want to ask is, why are you here at the front line?"

Aunt Chicken Claw: "Use Druid spells to help you win. We have mastered some Druid spells in a more scientific way. If you use them on the battlefield and win, you can effectively strike a blow against the Saint Worship Sect."

Wang Zhong: "I thought the Chongsheng sect had been wiped out—"

Before he finished speaking, he thought of the Prosen man who had been scared crazy.

Maybe the Chongsheng sect still has a large market, but they have all hidden themselves.

Wang Zhong: "Okay, I roughly understand what His Majesty the Patriarch means. What can you do? Summon tree people? Or call a flock of crows to cover the sky and prevent the enemy's air force from attacking?"

Su Fang laughed out loud: "General, you are so humorous - uh..."

Su Fang stopped and carefully observed Wang Zhong's expression: "Are you not being humorous?"

Wang Zhong: "I think that since divine power can guide rockets to track enemy aircraft, then summoning tree people doesn't seem strange."

"Unfortunately, we can't do things that only exist in legends. Don't expect us to summon strange shapes from the forest to attack the enemy." The aunt shook her head, "But if you want a two-hour fog, we can still do it."

Wang Zhong's eyes widened: "Tell me again, what can you summon?"

Auntie: "The sacrificial materials we have now can summon fog for two hours. We have reproduced it three times. The test site is located in the grassland at the bend of the Suhayaveli River. The time is from 907 to 909. There are three experiments in total, all in summer. The 'spell' used is also the spell of the local Druid sect."
