The idea of letting the city provide material assistance to the "fleeing" infected people was not something that Xia Feng came up with alone, and of course, it was not a clever plan.

It's just that it's easy to say, but the implementation depends on the summer breeze to break your legs.

Even so, there are still some hinterland cities that are not very willing to cooperate.

...

Some of these cities are because the garrison of the city guard bureau is sufficient, and some of the local nobles are still loyal to the empire, of course, foolish loyalty is foolish loyalty, which is not stupid.

If they are greedy for life and afraid of death, most mayors and nobles will choose to compromise, even if they are still loyal to the empire in their hearts, and they will superficially conform to the rebel army.

However, if we take a long-term view and stand in their perspective, the rebellion at this moment is not wise.

The nobles and officials who knew the military strength of the empire knew that now that the central army had not yet fought, the cities were already in chaos like this, and when a real full-scale war broke out, it was a matter of time before the fall of the south would be.

When the time comes, they will pour back like grass on the wall? Even if the Empire doesn't blame, they will lose trust in Queen Verin's heart.

.....

These reluctant cities either have no sense of crisis, or because of their geographical location, they have perfectly avoided the wave of infected people, and the city has ample police resources.

To treat this kind of "impregnable" city, Xia Fengguang can no longer rely on one mouth, and the threat of force is even more inverted.

To deal with this kind of thing, Vena still needs to come out in person.

At this point, under the protection of Meisha and the elite guard regiment of the Southern Military Region, Vina began to visit the southern city.

With her language, race, and bloodline, these noble officials who are still loyal to the empire will believe in her and support her.

....

The resistance of the Southern Military District is in a race against time, and the Empire will naturally not lag behind.

The news of Vena's rise has long been known, perhaps because of a sense of crisis, and the movement of the Central Army has begun to become rapid.

Following the Battle of Canaan, more than 20 divisions moved into the southern region from the west, apparently intending to start deep into the hinterland with the city of Canaan as .asxs.

According to the intelligence, Willin's royal brother Werther is in these 20 divisions, led by members of the royal family himself, and the combat effectiveness and determination of this army can be imagined.

...

As for how General Ormon planned to respond, whether to send troops to defend to the death, or to abandon the outlying cities to preserve the integrity of his troops, Xia Feng had no way of knowing.

He didn't understand military affairs, and he couldn't give any advice, so he could only provide alternative help to this struggle from another angle.

The wave of retreat of the infected has been stabilized temporarily, but this stability is only temporary, like a dry weed, it only takes one spark to rebound.

Therefore, Xia Feng can only concentrate other efforts to start another matter under the condition of strictly monitoring the normal operation of the "supply line for the infected".

...

Black Feather Grill.

Now Hyakki Street is not as deserted as it used to be, and not a single house in the entire Kilt neighborhood is empty.

A large number of infected people are crammed into the same house, and during the day, they also come out to move, and people can be seen everywhere on the streets.

Now the Royal Academy has long been suspended, and as for the schools in the city, let alone classes, even the teachers are hiding in their homes and dare not come out.

If it is usual, not having to go to school is even happier for Ergou than the New Year, but now, even children can feel the solidification of the air.

Holding a soccer ball, Ergou listlessly walked into the barbecue restaurant hall.

Walking inside, Ergou asked tentatively to Xia Feng, who was sitting behind the office.

"Old Xia."

"What?"

"Are we going to die?"

"Of course I'll die."

"Ahh

Xia Feng lifted his eyelids.

"People will die, but it is only a matter of time, and even the little windmill raised by turtles and turtles will die of old age one day."

Ergou sat on the corner of the desk with a soccer ball in his arms.

"Harm, I'm not talking about this, I mean ......"

"Don't say it, I know what you mean, don't worry, neither you nor your mother will die."

"Why?"

"You are not infected, and the army will not expel or kill you."

Ergou still looks a little preoccupied.

"But ......"

Xia Feng could see Ergou's worries, this kid was heartless on the surface, but he was not stupid.

"It's nothing, as long as I'm here, no one in this city will die, whether it's ordinary people or the infected."

With that, Xia Feng took out 5 yuan from the drawer.

"Here, go buy chocolate and eat it."

The second dog took the money dejectedly.

"A bar of chocolate doesn't cost that much money."

"Then buy two."

"Two yuan is not enough, and there is still a difference of 1 yuan."

Subsequently, after getting 5 yuan + 1 yuan from Xia Feng, Ergou left with a football.

....

"Didi, Didi!"

After the second dog left, the phone on the desk rang, and when he saw this number from Longmen, Xia Feng quickly picked it up.

"Hey, how's it going?"

This call was made by the Emperor himself.

"Brother, I'll just say it bluntly, I can't get the information you want."

"The world still has information that you penguin logistics can't handle?"

The voice of the emperor appeared in a rare helplessness.

"You don't have to be sarcastic about me, now you know better than me what is going on in Victoria, Lentinium has been banned by the Royal Knights, no one wants to enter, no one wants to come out."

"Isn't it easy for your people to get into a city?"

"Yes, it is possible to enter the city, but the palace and the military headquarters can't even fly in, our strongest messenger has already tried, and there was almost an accident in the process, and someone else would have died in Lentinium for no apparent reason."

When the emperor said this, it seemed that there was really nothing he could do.

Xia Feng sighed.

"Okay, forget about this information, but I need more information about the movements of the army in the north in the future."

"This is fine, at the normal price."

After a moment's hesitation, Xia Feng asked again.

"The Great, do you know what happened in Kazdale recently?"

"You have to pay for information from me."

"Just pay to know?"

"Of course, Kazdale is not the same as Victoria, but my information is very comprehensive."

.....

Regarding the matter of Kazdale, Xia Feng did not continue to ask deeply, as long as the Great Emperor had this guarantee, he was not in a hurry.

As for the information he just mentioned, it is the most important thing.

A few days ago, he asked the Emperor to investigate the information about Verin and Frey, such as the exact location of the target in the palace and the military headquarters, the trajectory of the movement, the number of escorts, and so on.

That's right, in this case, he must be prepared for the last resort, which is to chop off the "head" of the empire before the situation gets completely out of control, so as to delay.

Sadly, he is not facing gangsters, but a powerful empire.

In a war of this level, the Empire will not give him this opportunity.

....

Frey is a sinister man who makes good use of assassinations, which is a testament to his ability to guard against assassinations, and in the Imperial Army, protection must be impregnable.

And the difficulty of assassinating Verin is probably a hundred times more difficult than killing Frey.

The elite of the Royal Knights, the various hidden "Ouchi masters", and the existence of the King's Staff could not allow the Assassins to easily approach Verin.

Moreover, in the Lentinium at this moment, there is also the oracle of the [Deep Classic] Doctrine, and there are two people he can see, Hela and Black Snow.

....

Assassination is not the same as fighting, even Penguin Logistics' courier who is good at intelligence can't do it, so he sent the dog to almost send him to death.

As for himself, he doesn't know how to assassinate, think about it from another perspective, and now the entire empire can't wait to expect him to take the initiative to come to the door to deliver someone's head.

....

Just as Xia Feng gave up the idea of assassination, the phone on the desk rang again.

This time, it turned out to be silver gray.

Since the last time the last batch of Source Stones was safely delivered to Cherrag, Silver Ash hadn't reached out to him until Victoria's major transformation.

Now seeing the call from Silver Ash, Xia Feng first instinctively recalled his source stone inventory.

If Silver Ash still needed the Source Stone, he would probably find it difficult to spare any energy to help him transport it.

However, what Silver Ash said on the phone this time had nothing to do with the Source Stone.

....

Picking up the phone, as soon as Xia Feng said the word "hey", a deep voice came from the silver ash.

"Summer Breeze, I already know about Victoria."

Xia Feng held the phone, and his voice was a little helpless.

"I'm sorry Boss Silver, I may not be able to provide the source stone in a short period of time, brother, it's a little difficult for me to ..... now"

"Don't worry, from now on, I don't need a source stone anymore."

Xia Feng was stunned.

"Huh? Why? ”

Silver Gray's deep voice seemed to be telling a matter of course, but the content of this sentence shocked Xia Feng.

"My ally, from now on, there will be no more tri-clan meetings in Sherag, and I, the Shivaesh family, will be the only lord of the snowy mountains."
