South, Nolan City.

A few days ago, after a great melee with the Central Army on the Red Sand Plain, the Southern Coalition Army led by General Omon had retreated to Nolan City to rest.

After a few days, the corpses on the plains were basically burned and buried, and the divisions and regiments that had been cut due to sacrifice were also reorganized.

...

At first, General Aumont did not understand why the Central Army had suddenly withdrawn in the heat of battle.

It wasn't until the end of the war in the Red Sand Plains that he learned from the scouts' intelligence that Xia Feng had taken the infected gathered in Shengdi City north from the Western Mountain Range.

From a military point of view, this is a good decision, however, the infected are not soldiers, and there are many difficulties in execution and actual marching.

Moreover, if you want to order the infected, you must bear huge psychological pressure, which is to take them to death.

....

However, Xia Feng did it.

General Aumont was very happy to learn that Xia Feng had finally made up his mind, and at the same time, he also wanted to get in touch with Xia Feng quickly.

Now the situation in the south can be said to be very good, after the withdrawal of the main force of the central army, there is no threat to the remaining remnants of the southern cities, at this time, it is the best opportunity to completely re-deploy the south and stabilize the defensive line.

As long as the forces are concentrated at the junction, it will be difficult for the empire to invade the south again in a short time.

However, General Aumont only saw the first layer.

....

General Aumont did not succeed in getting in touch with Xia Feng, or Xia Feng deliberately did not contact him, because Xia Feng knew that General Aumont intended to hold on to the south.

The army of the infected crossed half a map and managed to reach Canaan City for only one night.

The next day, the advance team did not hesitate to step directly into the north and knocked down the city of Fulai with a thunderous force.

At this point, General Ormon finally knew what Xia Feng was planning to do.

At the same time, he also knew why Xia Feng didn't discuss with him before the general offensive was launched.

The Tao is not the same, this kind of desperate, ruined decision-making, with his style of action will definitely be opposed.

....

The conference room of the Southern Coalition Army.

Everyone, including Sami and the generals of the Sargon army, was shocked and angry at Xia Feng's actions.

The prince of Sargon slapped the table.

"Does that guy named Xia Feng still treat us as allies? This kind of big thing didn't even say a word in advance, this is using us as pawns. ”

Although Sammy's generals were also very unhappy, he still made it clear.

"Don't say that, if the infected people hadn't gone north at that point in time, the Central Army would not have suddenly withdrawn, Xia Feng didn't harm us, but helped us win a big battle, otherwise I don't know how much it will cost."

Most of the people in the conference room had complicated faces, and only Inan Xue, who was sitting next to Vina, smiled.

It's like he'd already seen that Xia Feng would do this.

Whether Xia Feng's behavior was right or not, now was not the time to discuss such a thing.

General Ormon sighed deeply.

"Let's not talk about Xia Feng for now, we have to determine the next strategy now."

In the face of uncertainty, the generals of other countries with different positions immediately said.

"In my opinion, going north now is not a good choice, and stabilizing the south can at least be invincible."

The other man's words were even more excessive.

"That's true, since the infected have invaded the north, let them consume the empire's forces first, and when we expand our forces and fronts, we can force the empire to surrender without a fight, the soldiers are flesh and blood, and it is the safest way to avoid war as much as possible."

From the perspective of foreign reinforcements, there is nothing wrong with this view.

They came to their aid because Vena had promised certain international treaties, and it didn't matter to them how much they won, as long as they could bring the old empire to its core.

As for the way, of course, it is to minimize the conflict, and the fewer the losses of the soldiers, the better.

....

The conference room fell silent.

General Ormon hesitated, his eyes flickering, his mind quickly weighing whether to attack the north at this point in time.

At this moment, Vina, who had never spoken, suddenly stood up.

"I'm going north."

Hearing her words, General Ormon frowned slightly.

"Your Highness Vena, now is not the time to be rash, of course I will not give up on the infected, but we will discuss it in detail....."

"No need to discuss."

Vina kept her head down, her long blonde hair covering her eyes.

She silently left her seat, took off her heavy coat, and then pulled out a black jacket from her bag.

Putting on her jacket and carrying the black hammer, Vina's eyes were indifferent.

"I'm not commanding you, if you don't go, I'll go myself."

After saying this, Vina turned around and walked out the door, and Inan Xue next to her also got up and followed her.

"Glasgow Gang!"

"Yes."

Outside the door, Kate and Indra responded with a dozen or so last members of the Glasgow Gang.

Vina wore a jacket and carried a war hammer, as if she had reverted to the same gang boss she once was.

"Follow me, let's go back to Lenti Hate."

"Yes!"

.....

When Vina learned that Natsufeng had invaded the north with a million infected, she made a decision that no one could stop.

General Aumont is indeed a good general who cares about the country, but unfortunately, he does not understand the heart of the "king".

In this world, there is only one person who really understands her, and his name is Xia Feng.

Because before the separation in Shengdi City, Xia Feng finally told her.

[Vina, we'll see you in Luntinium.] 】

....

....

North Victoria.

Starting with the first city of Fry, Xia Feng led the army of infected people to transform into real city hunters.

It took only 3 days for the cities of Fokk, Kitahara, and Yilan to be fully occupied within a radius of 60 kilometers from the breakthrough point.

The Empire's interceptor force of reservists didn't have time to arrive, and the infected had already taken advantage of the four cities that were covering each other to gain a foothold on the northern border.

...

Theoretically, the reserve soldiers are all old soldiers, they know military common sense, know how to cooperate tactically, except that there may be some gaps in physical strength and active soldiers, there is almost no other difference.

However, a theory is a theory after all, and even if all the external factors are collected, there is one thing that cannot be remedied.

That is morale, which can also be called the will to fight.

Retired soldiers have said goodbye to the barracks, and they may all have new jobs, a stable life circle, and even a family of their own.

At this time, it is very inhumane to suddenly pull this "winner of life" back to the battlefield to fight, to be honest.

Of course, the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband.

When the empire encounters a crisis of war, it is the duty and obligation of the reservists to return to the battlefield.

But although the truth is like this, as a party, I always feel a little bad in my heart.

....

The soldiers didn't say much, but silently responded to the call of the Imperial Military Department and put on their uniforms again.

It's just that most soldiers have a sentence hidden in their hearts, or a question mark.

[If it weren't for Queen Verin's sudden order to kill the infected, what the hell would have turned out to be? 】
