As long as there is oppression, resistance will be everywhere. If those in power do not reform and oppress with all their might, in the end they can only let the sparks everywhere form a prairie fire.

—Terry's Autobiography, Vol. 5

The rebellion of the 704th Division of the Empire was not accidental, because long before that, there had been many coups and riots in the vast territory of the Empire.

The rebellion of the 704th Division was only one of the larger of these uprisings, and although this one still ended in failure, it had a huge impact on the entire empire.

The final encirclement of the Puntlands was perfect in the propaganda of the Empire.

But in fact, the Imperial Army, which was completely superior in strength in this battle, was a little disgraced.

The leader of the rebel army, Major General Oplar, was nowhere to be found, and although the 108th Division, which was the main attacker, did not lose much strength again, it had already suffered from injuries in the previous counterinsurgency battle on the Worford Plains.

And what shocked the top of the empire even more was that the Blue Flag Empire's Minister of Defense, Field Marshal Priston. Becky's second son, Gutvez, known as the leader of the new generation of soldiers in the Blue Flag Empire. Joan. Becky, who was knocked off the back of his head during an encounter with the rebels.

Although in the investigation of the Military Intelligence Bureau, Lieutenant Gutweis's mountain division was attacked from both sides, Ensign Gutveis fought valiantly and was murdered by snipers from behind.

But in the centuries-old tradition of the Blue Banner Empire, it is a shame for a soldier, especially an officer, to be attacked and killed behind his back, because in most cases, he will only be attacked from behind when he escapes.

"It's a shame, a shame that the Becky family hasn't had in hundreds of years!"

An old soldier with a white beard, waving the civilization stick in his hand angrily, stood in front of a huge teak desk and roared loudly.

"Check! Check it out for me! I need to know which of the damned, filthy and scumbag of the rebels snuck up on my little Becky. ”

"I'm going to crush this filthy and despicable guy to ashes, I'm going to let this guy's whole family bury me for my little Becky, and I'm going to use every drop of his blood to wash away the shame of the Becky family!"

The marshal was angry, the whole empire was shaken, and all kinds of military intelligence officers, like wild boars in heat, ran around and arrested people everywhere.

All of a sudden, the already stormy empire became even more noisy, from high-ranking officials and nobles to ordinary people, all of whom were afraid that they would be caught in the terrible military intelligence bureau if they were not careful.

It's a pity that everything seems to be in vain, and the rebels of the 74th Mountain Division Becky Squadron seem to have disappeared in the Empire.

Of course, this rebel army, which caused a national shock, did not disappear, but took an unexpected path.

Another reason is that the Empire's intelligence analysis department has made serious mistakes in its analysis, but it is no wonder that they are not able to completely annihilate a squadron of the Empire's elite mountain division in theory, without a team of one or two hundred people.

Ensign Sean and the others evaded the intelligence department's tracking, but after that battle, there were less than 30 people left.

As for the life or death of the more than 20 captives, who cares, anyway, after leaving the Puntlands, there are no listless captives in the ranks.

The Forgerar Mountains, a lofty mountain range connected to the Punterrance Mountains.

It's not as famous as the Puntlands, but it's a veritable place of death.

Because the entire Forgerar Range, not only is the altitude much higher than the Punterrance Mountains, but more importantly, the location of the entire mountain range is completely enveloped in the eruption of the Forgerar Volcano.

Forgeral, the only active volcano in the continent where the Blue Flag Empire is located, is also the largest active volcano in the world.

Every time Forgerar erupts, the hundreds of square kilometers of the Forghiral Mountains are shrouded in a dark ash that is so toxic that few creatures, let alone humans, can survive.

There are no tall trees, no large birds and animals, but weeds and shrubs grow very densely, and some rodents are rampant.

Maybe just after the heavy rain, the shallow gully gurgled with clear water, but in all the ravines, there was not a single swimming fish, because the withered yellow weeds next to the ravines and the strong sulfur-smelling mist indicated that the water contained great toxicity.

A team of more than thirty people marched through the bushes and weeds with difficulty, almost everyone was more or less bandaged, and their faces were full of black and ash, and their real appearance could no longer be seen.

The blood-red eyes looked so dull, the chapped lips could no longer see a trace of blood, and the feet were slowly moving, almost everyone was overdrawing their physical strength.

"Second Lieutenant, how long will it be before we get out of this damn hell?"

A soldier who was struggling to support the wounded soldier asked bitterly, his bloodshot eyes revealing incomparable anticipation.

"Brother, hold on a little longer, maybe one more day we'll be able to get out."

The stucco had completely obscured the soldier's epaulettes, but the command knife at his waist indicated his identity.

"Brother Terry, how much more supplies do you have?"

Encouraging the tired soldier beside him, the officer walked a few quick steps and asked a soldier with a huge backpack.

"Second Lieutenant Sean, it should be enough for everyone to replenish once, if I can't leave here tomorrow, I can't help it."

From the conversation between the two, it can be seen that this team, which is about to run out of food, is the remnants of the rebels who have escaped from the Puntlands.

After eliminating a squadron of the 74th Mountain Division, Second Lieutenant Sean took Terry and his men on a day and night journey, and it took more than a week to get out of the Puntland Mountains.

Leaving the Puntlands, Ensign Sean was left with only two paths to choose from.

One was to follow the Tico River, which flows from the Puntlands Mountains, all the way south to the rebels' hometown of the Wafort Plains.

But this is clearly self-defeating! The only way left was through the Death Mountains, known as the Death Mountains, to the Plateau of Iran, where the Empire was weak.

There was no need to discuss, everyone agreed to take this seemingly desperate route, but there was a glimmer of hope.

But the greatest difficulty in crossing the Forgerar Mountains was resupply, and after a week's long journey, although there was an inexhaustible supply of food and water in the Puntheland Mountains, there was not much to be supplied to the outskirts of the Forgerar Mountains.

And just when everyone was having a headache for supplies, Terry, who didn't talk much all the way, brought an unexpected surprise to everyone.

Because Terry left for half an hour while everyone was resting, and just when everyone thought Terry had left the group on his own, he brought back a huge backpack full of various cans and compressed biscuits, enough for the thirty or so people to eat for a while.

Terry didn't answer everyone's questions about where the food came from, because he couldn't.

Could it be that to tell everyone the truth, these are all exchanged by him with gold coins and the system.

Silent character, superb shooting skills, amazing reconnaissance skills, magical danger perception, and an unmistakable sense of direction, everything Terry has shown along the way, which has made Sean and others not strange to Terry's magic, so in the face of Terry's silence at this moment, everyone no longer asks.
