A hundred miles away from the town, Mondstadt had arrived at the headquarters of the 18th Division, and at this time he was no longer the image of a scruffy old man, but a major general of the Mi Army in military uniform and leather shoes.

As a result of Mondstadt's entry into the General Staff, he was forcibly promoted to a notch and appointed Chief of Staff of the 18th Division, responsible for commanding the soldiers.

Mondstadt is so old that being a major general is not too much.

The Eighteenth Division's garrison was full of soldiers, all of them were on combat posts, and the entire garrison was under martial law, and just standing here gave Mondstadt a sense of impending a storm.

Mondstadt stepped down from the helicopter gunship, and before he could take a few glances at what the new station looked like, an officer hurried up to Mondstadt, saluted him, and said, "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the division commander is already waiting for you in the conference room." ”

"Okay, I got it. ”

Now that he has returned to the army, of course Mondstadt must follow the orders of the troops and follow the orders of his superiors.

Mondstadt followed the officers all the way to the conference room, which was heavily guarded, and the soldiers were heavily armed, their guns clearly engraved with empowering runes, and the barrels of their guns seemed to be filled with tremendous energy.

Mondstadt looked stunned, and under the gaze of a transcendent soldier, he showed his military ID before he was able to enter the conference room.

The moment he stepped into the conference room, a plain-looking white man in his mid-thirties suddenly appeared in front of Mondstadt and said, "General Mondstadt, you have come just in time, we are arranging defenses, do you think we have some omissions there?"

Mondstadt was startled by the sudden flash, but he quickly returned to normal.

Because he knew the man in front of him.

The second group of magicians who graduated from the Jindal Academy of Magic and Wizardry were European magicians named Behim Kunich, the head of the division invited by the United States at a high price.

"General Behim. ”

Mondstadt nodded to Behim, signaled his status as the chief military commander of Behim, and began to look at Behim's defensive line and asked, "What is our current military purpose, and where is the enemy's position?"

"The hypothetical enemy is the 80th Division, which is currently moving slowly towards us, and the other side does not seem to have any intention of engaging us, but only to exert pressure. ”

The officer beside Behim explained: "At present, our army is ordered to garrison here and confront the 80th Division. ”

After that, the officer sighed helplessly, and continued: "Mr. President, let us try not to conflict with the other party and maintain our strength as much as possible." ”

"Hmm. ”

Mondstadt could understand the president's thoughts, after all, the army was still subordinate to the government, and the conflicts between the Church of the Eternal Night should be resolved by themselves, and the army should not be mixed in.

But there was no way, due to the pressure of the Eternal Night Church in the north and south, and the fact that most of the high-ranking officers in the transcendent army were from the Eternal Night Church, the transcendent troops could only participate.

The only thing the president can do now is to order the regular troops and the National Guard to be stationed in the local city, ignoring the fighting of the Church of the Eternal Night.

After all, the Church of the Eternal Night is also the Church of God, and if they want to be embarrassed, they should not be able to slaughter the city.

Thinking of this, Mondstadt coughed lightly, came back to his senses, and began to mobilize his troops and horses: "I propose to advance twenty miles forward to occupy a favorable position, this is a river, since it is mainly a deterrent, I propose to place the artillery battalion here..."

After all, Mondstadt is also an old man who has been through ups and downs, and he knows what to do, and a 'I suggest' and 'you decide' make Behim feel like he has made his own plans.

However, after all, it was from the Jindal Academy of Magic and Wizardry, and although it was very useful, Behim understood that all the plans were made by Mondstadt, and he only knew a little about it, so he immediately said: "General Mondstadt, the battlefield is handed over to you, and I am going to lead my own army to the place and talk to the Mr. Night Watch from the 80th Division, what do you think?"

Mondstadt looked at General Beheim's point, slightly startled.

That's the town he used to live in.

After a moment's hesitation, Mondstadt could only speak, "Of course, but I hope the general can evacuate the people before negotiating." ”

If negotiations break down, a battle between high-ranking transcendents would be enough to destroy the town, and Mondstadt had lived there for five years and wanted to do something for his neighbors.

"It's natural. ”

Behim nodded, smiling and responding to Mondstadt, "What I learned in school doesn't allow me to hurt the innocent, so don't worry." ”

Hearing this, Mondstadt breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little relieved: since there was nothing wrong with Behim's side, then the night watchmen of the Church of the Eternal Night would not be harming innocents on a large scale.

The country is full of Eternal Night believers, and to hurt the innocent on a large scale is to damage the faith, and Mondstadt believes that even if there is civil strife, the Church of the Eternal Night will not do such a stupid thing.

Behim briefly explained a few words to the other officers before leaving the camp, handing over the entire 18th Division to Mondstadt, which added to Mondstadt's pressure.

"Major General Behim is very reassuring to me. ”

Mondstadt was a little confused by Behim's hand-to-hand behavior, no matter how brilliant his resume was, it was just a bad old man who had been out of the military for five years.

In the transcendent era, every day is changing with each passing day, he has not been in the army for five years, and he doesn't know anything about the new equipment and new tactics of the extraordinary army.

After taking a deep breath, Mondstadt glanced at the staff officers present, ranging from colonel to ensign, and it could be said that in addition to brigadier general and general, all other military ranks were available, and there were many young faces among them, which made Mondstadt feel a little reassured.

'Even if these young people haven't been on the battlefield, they probably know some of the basic tactics of the current war, right?'

Mondstadt muttered to himself, glanced around at the crowd, and said, "Give me a copy of the situation of the 80th Division, who is the division commander?"

"General, the commander of the 80th Division is a sword-level night watchman of the Eternal Night Church, and Major General Charles, who was judged by the federal government to be a B+-level transcendent. ”

A bespectacled, bookish young officer beside Mondstadt said, "Major General Charles has participated in the battle of the Gamma World, and his achievements are ......"

Mondstadt was a little surprised when he heard this, and at the same time a little emotional: "The battle of the gamma world?! ”

The Battle of the Gamma World was the first contact between Earth and another world, and it was also the largest battle of Earth mobilization to date.

At that time, Mondstadt was still working as a company commander in the rice military camp in South Korea, and he was not given the order to go to the gamma world, so he naturally did not participate in this epic battle.

This is Mondstadt's regret.

Mondstadt's path to the ranks has been uneventful, having fought several battles against the remnants of the Destroyer, commanding several battles against the Dream Apostles, and rising to the rank of Deputy Divisional Commander.

After that, the 18th Division was reorganized into an extraordinary unit, and Mondstadt was forced to retire and has only now returned to combat duty.

Thinking of this, Mondstadt sighed leisurely, "If I had also participated in the Battle of the Gamma World, then... Now I may be the one who has become the supreme commander of the Extraordinary Army. ”

The casualties of that war were very heavy, less than a quarter of the soldiers who died were completely discharged, and most of the soldiers who survived were mentally disordered and had serious after-effects of the war.

But those soldiers who survived their inner struggles were promoted, and received varying degrees of extraordinary resource tilt, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

"Okay, now follow my command, proceed according to the previous plan, transfer Infantry Battalion A to the target area, arrange..."

.......

In the border town, Owen was a little uneasy.

"Owen, how do you buy so much beef?"

Owen, who had finished shopping from the supermarket, happened to meet an acquaintance and greeted him cordially, which made Owen a little nervous, so he had to say: "I have a friend here, buy more, otherwise there won't be enough to eat." ”

"Well, I thought it was because of the war. ”

The acquaintance waved his hand, and instead of continuing to chat with Owen, he walked briskly towards the supermarket: "But it's time to buy more things now, otherwise..."

Owen didn't hear the latter words clearly, because Owen had already driven away quickly, and he didn't dare to stay here any longer.

'If the Church of the Eternal Night knew that it was harboring a fugitive, how would it be executed?'

Along the way, Owen was cranky, and some of the ghosts were so bad that he almost hit the house on the side of the road on this empty road.

After another period of suffering, Owen finally staggered home, but when he opened the door, he was greeted not by his wife's comfort, but by Zhang Zhaochu.

"Prepare for it, I feel that there are a few breaths of transcendence coming towards this place with impunity. ”
