The city of Baria has been full of war clouds and the atmosphere is depressing. A large number of troops and masters are assembled here, and a big battle for a counterattack is about to begin. Troops are constantly entering the city from outside, and there are also masters teleporting to this side from all over the place.

Xiao Chen stepped down from the teleportation array and stretched. Suddenly, he felt that this action was not quite in line with his identity as acting chairman, and quietly put his hand down. In the past two days, he has visited several villages and towns that are not yet under their control, and has successively conducted various negotiations with the locals, and fought against the infiltration troops of the empire.

After Baron Paragus' town of Goyo had agreed to be incorporated into the Chinese Tower system, two more villages had been taken by him, accepted his terms, and became part of their de facto control. Including the villages in charge of others, this time they took a big step forward in their control of their subordinate areas with the help of the infiltration offensive of the Imperials.

Even for villages like Cavezon that were hostile at first, Xiao Chen didn't really give up on them, in fact, two days later, a mage led a team to stay in these villages, controlled the managers of the town, blocked the way out of the entire town, and then began to treat the sick and save people. This kind of thing of brushing up favor and winning the approval of residents, how could Xiao Chen really give up?

It was Evelyn who greeted him at the door of the teleportation room, and when she saw the dark elf Xiao Chenqi, she said, "Why is it that you are a master guarding here?"

Evelyn said: "The mages and warriors who attacked the Kuroki Guancheng formation this time have all been filled into the attack team, and even the guards here have been transferred, and Wang Jiyuan has mobilized every force he can gather. In contrast, an advisor like me, on the contrary, can do sporadic guard work because he doesn't have much to do, just waiting for combat missions. However, most of the people who should have arrived have already arrived, and you should be the last great magician to arrive. ”

"When is the meeting going on. Xiao Chen asked.

"After an hour and a half, you can take a break if you need to. Evelyn said.

"No, let's go now. Arrive at the meeting early, or chat with others, learn about the dynamics of various aspects, and listen to everyone's thoughts. With the war in the middle of the war, we don't have time to relax. Xiao Chen walked out first.

Evelyn followed, covering her mouth and smiling, "It's only been a few days, and you already have the appearance of a king." ”

Xiao Chen waved his hand again and again: "What a king, we don't want to call this." Heck, I'm already ahead of everyone in strength, and there are many people who support it. If anyone else praises me like you, they will make a mistake. You remember, this is a leadership group. ”

"Yes, 'natives' like us have too many 'feudal remnants' in our heads, right?"

"Huh?" Xiao Chen glanced at Evelyn, seeing that there was a smile on her face, and there was no trace of dissatisfaction, "Someone said that about you?"

"You don't have to ask specific people, and no one dares to talk to me in person, it's just heard. I had anticipated this since I came out of the Elven Forest, and I was prepared in my heart. There's no need to worry about these little things at this point in time. ”

Xiao Chen found that she was serious, nodded and said, "Thank you." It can be seen from here that you are much better than many people who think they are. Rest assured, I won't let down the people who have trusted me. ”

Evelyn smiled back.

Xiao Chen said again: "By the way, how is Roger's injury? I heard that he was hit by the exploding black water?"

"This guy is so stubborn. He was drenched by the self-destructing Imperials that day, and we had planned to return to the surrounding cities to be well treated, but on the way to retreat, we encountered a small group of the enemy's elite, and Roger immediately changed his mind, and he resolutely refused to go back, and must chase that team. We pursued the forest for another day, fought each other twice, and killed most of the masters of the opposing team, until he was weak and lost his strength, and I stopped him. Now that he's in hospital isolation, I'm afraid he won't be able to take part in the operation. ”

"But thanks to your timely alerting to the other groups, the enemy has this way of attacking, and we have avoided a lot of losses. Xiao Chen said.

"Despite this, we have lost a lot. Evelyn said.

"What is Wang Jiyuan's latest statistics here?" Xiao Chen asked.

Evelyn said, "So far, we have lost more than a hundred people in the battle, more than three hundred have been infected, and more than thirty of them have been lost by low-level warriors and mages.

However, we have basically achieved our previous goal, and there are only two successful cases of Imperial infiltration in the cities under our control, and 90% of the Imperial troops heading south have been wiped out. The rest are just small moths, and we have two companies chasing them, and the disease of these people has already entered the stage of mass disease, and Commander Wang reckons that they can no longer pose any threat to our town. As long as the remaining villages are well guarded, they can be dragged to death. ”

"Sounds like a lot of money. Xiao Chen said.

"Yes, it was Leo's cavalry company that suffered the most. They ran into the enemy's brigade, and although they were defeated, they lost more than three-quarters of their lives, and the company commander Leo himself was seriously injured and fell unconscious. However, they saved more people.

It was a village of more than 300 people, and more than 60 people from half a detachment of the Imperials attacked the village at dusk when everyone was lighting a fire and eating, and the militia in the village was only more than 30 people, and they did not defend in time, and soon they could not withstand the attack of the Imperials. Those Imperials entered the village to slaughter the village, but fortunately, when breaking through the village's defenses, our cavalry company appeared, in fact, Leo and they had just gone through a big battle before, and there were only about 30 people who came to support that day, and we were inferior to the other party in terms of strength. However, Leo and his cavalry launched a surprise attack on the Imperials, and they fought to the death in the face of an enemy who outnumbered them, and both sides consumed their forces until the other side could not bear the losses and completely collapsed with more than half of the losses, which saved the lives of the entire village. But by the time all the enemies had been killed, there were less than five people left standing in the ranks. ”

"It's tragic. ”

Evelyn said: "When I got this battle report, the entire command was shocked, I knew that the Escort Force was a very strong army, but I would never have imagined that they had such willpower. ”

"It's our fighters who are starting to understand what it means to fight. Xiao Chen said solemnly: "Although the soldiers we sacrificed are very deplorable, their sacrifices are not in vain, and it is all worth it." ”
