During this time, the base camp has obviously fallen silent.

Originally, this was a temporary camp - it could really only be called a camp, and to say that it was a "town" was an inaccurate term, but it was not appropriate. Because although there are quite a few buildings here, all of them are temporary. It's the kind of fast building material construction. They can stand uneventful for three to five years and play their part to the fullest. But it is unlikely that it will still stand decades later.

At this time, the relevant news has been circulating among the high-level. Although it has not yet been released publicly, it has indeed received an order from above to keep Huiyue's frontline troops still. This is not the kind of order to advise, to persuade, but the kind of harsh, indisputable order.

Some people say that the conflict between Kaicha Goyat and the Stygian Moon is becoming more and more intense, and his hatred has reached the limit, and in the end, because he is alone, he chooses to form an alliance with Huiyue's side. Of course, some people say that it was because Stygian Moon had adopted the right raid tactics and had succeeded in killing Kaicha Goat. As soon as Kecha Goyat died, his men were immediately leaderless. In this case, it is natural that they can't continue to provoke them, otherwise it will not be fun for them to turn their guns and start a war on Huiyue's side.

All cold wars, hot wars, espionage wars, and reconnaissance wars on the border have been suspended and frozen indefinitely. All troops are forbidden to leave their defensive areas, let alone launch offensives, including squad-sized tentations. In this way, there is really nothing to do here in the base camp. The teams that used to come and go, bringing trophies, wounded and front-line battles, have also quietly disappeared.

It is like a hibernating beast, gathering its claws and falling into a deep sleep. Waiting for some power to wake it up.

Of course, most people are happy to accept this situation. Because everyone knows that in the Banshee Gate, among the three forces, Huiyue's military strength is actually the weakest. The reason why they were able to take the offensive (albeit tentatively) was simply because Kecha Goat and Stygian were so close that they couldn't find time to deal with them. Even so, because Kecha Goyat has technology beyond this world, the risk of various actions is very high. There are not too many examples of troops attacking but being attacked head-on by the enemy. In fact, although strategically they take the initiative, tactically they are actually passively beaten. Only a handful of places have there been some not-so-stellar victories.

If the balance of strength is unfavorable, and the risk of battle is too high, then everyone will naturally tend to be conservative. Although some people don't think so, a series of failures have long since extinguished the enthusiasm of most people. Under the combined force of the top and bottom, even if a few people have their own plans and goals, there is no way to resist the general trend.

The large office is clean.

All the bits and pieces of reports, documents, and confidential information that had been piled up here have been dealt with. Now you don't need those things anymore, you just need one terminal to solve all the problems. It stands to reason that the current situation is tantamount to a free vacation for senior officers. You can finally loosen the tightened clockwork a little for a while. As mentioned earlier, although the specific matter has not been announced, in fact, everyone can guess that it is impossible for the top to give such a stupid order inexplicably, so there must have been a very significant and fundamentally changing event in this place.

The owner of the office sat there calmly, his chin in his hands and his eyes staring vacantly ahead. Anyone can see that he is not looking at anything, but simply there in a daze.

It is impossible for the war to continue, which means that the family's plans, previous investments, efforts and plans have all been reduced to castles in the air.

In fact, although all this is said to be a heavy blow, it is not unexpected. There are too many risks and unpredictable factors in this matter, and it is not surprising that it fails. However, this failure was too embarrassing. They originally had multiple targets, and the Banshee Gate area was just one of them.

The beauty of the Banshee Gate is that this place is truly ownerless. Although there will be contention, it is a competitive relationship, not a hostile relationship. It's like a game in which the winner enjoys glory and cheers, but the loser is at best a jealous look. It is impossible to flip the table in anger, let alone wait for you to stab you in the back with hatred. But elsewhere...... Although there is a chance, you have to face a powerful enemy.

Sand, for example. Many people knew that the Sun Flare family, who controlled the sand, was unrighteous and had no allies. And the family stupidly took the wrong step...... I actually want to take refuge in the Stygian Moon (I only learned about this recently). Maybe they think that this time the Banshee's Gate is lost. If you lose the Banshee Gate, the sand will become a border, and then the whole place will change flags. It is a pity that this betrayal has already been detected by the higher-ups. The result was that the entire Shining Sun family was turned upside down overnight.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with outsiders. It is also a matter of course for the betrayer to be eliminated - if you choose to betray, you will naturally have to have the consciousness of paying the price. But the problem is that the position of governor of the sands is vacant, and there is no suitable successor for a while. In the end, it is said that after some boring discussion, a completely unrelated person (and of course a member of a noble family) was entrusted with the task of becoming the new governor of the place.

If the original goal was sand, it would have been successful by now, right? Although it may be necessary to go head-to-head with the powerful Flare Family, it is inevitable that something will be lost. Yes, a lot of people will die, and maybe more than half of the family members will be lost. However, after the Shining Sun Family is crushed, even if it is based on the principle of rewarding merit, this position will be handed over to the Evening Star Family. This is an unspoken rule within the camp, and this time should be no exception.

But unfortunately, the Evening Star family gave up the opportunity in the sand and chose the Banshee Gate. Because this place has a better chance of success.

If there is a high-level warlock of the second law in the family, you should be able to make the right choice, right?

Suddenly, a chime sounded on the terminal. He pressed it, and what he saw was a call request. Not an ordinary call, but a conversation with a remote video. For high-ranking officers and nobles, they all knew that such conversations would be stored in the transit device...... Can't hide anyone. That is, such conversations can only exchange those official, normal content, and cannot discuss some private secrets.

But it is precisely because of this that you have to take it.

He pressed the communication switch, and then saw a familiar person, a familiar background.

It was the officers' canteen on the outskirts of the base camp. As mentioned earlier, the main purpose of this place is to provide some things that are considered luxuries in the Banshee Gate, such as fruits from the rear, hydroponic crops, and other high-end foods, which can greatly improve the living conditions of the officers. However, there is a little secret of this place, and that is its proximity to the premium area...... That is, the living quarters of the generals are very close in a straight line. It is so close that there is no need for any additional transfer, and even the most common and common terminals can communicate directly.

This is a direct contact between the terminals and does not pass through any transit device. Unless there is a high-privilege monitor here who has hacked into their terminal with their own privileges, no one else will know about this conversation.

"Lu Wu?" he was a little surprised. This young man is a ...... A surprising presence. It was a perfect trap, but the young man jumped out of it by luck—a force that hitherto had so far been completely incomprehensible to him. An important part of the family's plan, that is, the floating fortress that could be repaired, finally fell into the hands of Lu Wu. It was a serious setback. Perhaps it was this setback that led to all this.

A hated lucky one.

But this is just an outpouring of feelings. His sanity told him that while the Floating Fortress was important, it was orders from the top that really led to all the failures. In fact, even the Floating Fortress was of little use to him, because as a high-ranking officer in the regular army, he had to follow the orders of his superiors. And the order from above, as said before, is to stop all action. If the guess is correct, the battle at the Banshee Gate is over. Hui Yue may have given up on the Banshee Gate completely. At the very least, it was intended to control the Banshee's Gate through peaceful means.

The notion of what every inch of land must fight for does not exist here in the regular army. And from the height of the entire camp, Huiyue's side has made enough money, while Shenyue has suffered a big loss. At this time, it seems normal to give up.

Lu Wu was also a little surprised, but he couldn't guess why this young man was surprised. This time the communication was requested by Lu Wu on his own initiative, didn't he know who he was going to talk to?

"That, General A-Yuan?" After a brief silence, Lu Wu finally spoke.

"What, what's the matter with me?"

This sentence became the beginning of this conversation. After a brief polite few words of innocence, they quickly got to the point. Lu Wu began to ask questions about this. Although he already knew a lot from other sources, being able to get information from an orthodox nobleman was also an opportunity not to be missed.

“…… You're right, if you can defeat the Stygian's army, or do something else to get the Stygian's army out of this area, you'll be eligible for the position. For this, Ah Yuan is not shy about it. "It's not just here, it's the same everywhere. If you are able to occupy an area without the support of the upper echelons, relying on the power in your hands, then it is absolutely impossible for the title of Governor to fly away from your head. ”

It's a sorcerer's acknowledgment of strength - it's useless not to admit it. really has the strength to divide one side alone, Huiyue doesn't approve of it, you can just turn around and go to the dark moon. People promise to welcome them with their hands held high - who wouldn't be happy to get a good helper for free? Past grievances will soon be written off. In fact, this is also a common rule among warlocks: those who possess power must be respected accordingly.

It's like Kecha Goat, when he was a little white mouse in the labs of the Stygian Moon, no one cared which onion he was. But when he proved with his undoubted battle record that he had the strength to compete with the Stygian Moon, even the archon of the Radiant Moon had to condescend to run over and risk his life to respectfully ask for an alliance.

But how is this possible? The other side is a regular army on the Stygian side. Although he has suffered heavy losses in the battle with Kecha Goat, it is not a force that you can compete with as a local army commander. Not to mention that there is also a kecha goyat in the middle...... It looks like a truce, but who can tell?

Of course, it was not surprising that this matter came out of Lu Wu's mouth. Because he had already heard through Ah Qi before, he heard that Lu Wu had this ambition.

Of course, it's not a big deal to be ambitious...... But if he was in a different place, he didn't think he would have such thoughts. He knew what the situation was with Lu Wu's floating fortress. At the end of the day, it's just a second-hand thing to repair. Coupled with a group of rookie newcomers who don't know how to manipulate at all, they look scared people, but they are actually paper tigers. If Lu Wu really had a deep insight into the strength of both the enemy and us, he would know that his plan was simply a fantasy. As long as a battle is fought, it can completely extinguish Lu Wu's illusions.
