"Anti-thief...... Anti-thief ...... It's all anti-thieves! Ahh!!hhhh ”

On the state border between Massachusetts and Mammoths, crooked trenches outline a messy battlefield.

The torrential rain filled with rolling thunder, extinguishing the slowly burning fireworks on the dead grass and hiding the wails of the wounded soldiers in the trenches.

Standing outside the tent at the front line, General Alayan turned his back to the sky and pounded his chest with his right fist.

The frustrated voice couldn't be heard whether it was crying or laughing, but it was bizarrely like the commander of the forbidden army guarding the gate of the palace.

Damn......

Hateful!

Alayyan's heart was filled with unwillingness.

He has the ability to fight, and he should have shown his strength on the battlefield, but he didn't want to be reduced to such a field.

It's the middle of March.

Nearly two months have passed since the fall of Tiandu.

In just two months, Tiandu has changed two masters, and Xilan has lost almost all of the country.

It's the same at the front.

After nearly half a year of fighting, the Gray Wolf Army was pushed back to the original state border.

At the end of last year, they were able to fight back and forth with Lassy's men, and even won a few beautiful battles on New Year's Day with the help of tanks sent by the legion.

But the rebels were like they couldn't finish killing.

They died one by one, and then rushed up in waves, tearing at his gray wolves in the mire.

Those guys are getting stronger and stronger, starting out as a bunch of stragglers, but now they're even using exoskeletons and planes.

On the other hand, on his side, the gray wolf army is getting more and more tired, and now even the logistics are unsustainable.

In particular, the northern part of Borneo province enters the rainy season.

A sudden heavy rain made his already difficult logistics even worse.

The armored troops at the spearhead of the attack were stuck in the mud and had no time to retreat, and were forced to surrender in formation in the face of the division and encirclement of the group of resistance forces and the mosquito attack aircraft whistling in the air.

Now there are still 30,000 people left in the entire gray wolf army, not only lack of ammunition, but also lack of food and clothing, which can be described as extremely disgraced.

And due to the previous strategy of clearing the wilderness, there are no villages within a radius of 100 miles, and it is difficult to find some food from the locals.

The hearts of the Gray Wolf Army are fluctuating.

No one wants to continue fighting, and there is no point in continuing to fight......

Xilan is dead.

Although the signs of doom came slowly, the real collapse of the edifice was faster than anyone expected.

Just a few months ago, people were comforting themselves that their emaciated camels were bigger than horses, but after only a few months, the entire province of Borneo could not find even a few people who missed it.

Including his most loyal subordinates.

Hearing that Absech was a wolf tribe and that their hometown of Wolf State had been liberated, they even had the idea of taking refuge in the Borneo country.

"General...... We can't fight anymore, our logistics are already broken. ”

Looking at the general standing in the rain and howling, Staff Officer Gopal knelt on the ground, ignoring the rain that had been swallowed in his throat, and looked up at him pleadingly.

"Now if you turn around and go south, take down the state...... Maybe we can save the last bit of qi for Xilan, and when the Tiger Army goes north to take Mazhou, we won't have a chance at all! ”

Actually, this is the next step.

The upper strategy is to vote for the Mammoth, the middle strategy is to vote for the Tiger Army, and the lower strategy is to vote for the Borneo country.

However, in the face of Alayan, who does not enter the oil and salt, he can't tell those real solutions.

Gopal is now a true believer.

This guy is a true loyalist!

They had countless opportunities to stand on their own, but he gave up without exception.

There must be a page in the history books of Borneo......

But why......

He's his own general!

Gopal was about to have a heart attack.

"Shut !! up"

Alayan suddenly burst into a loud shout, interrupting the rebellious words.

The roar was like thunder, and Gopal almost collapsed on the ground.

With hatred written on his face, Alayan wanted to chew the rain off his lips.

"You think I'm Lassy...... The dog that eats inside and out? Lao Tzu's name is Alayan! Lao Tzu is the military god of the empire! ”

Gopal looked at him in despair, his lips trembling.

"But the Empire ...... Empire, it has ......"

The sound of "dead" was drowned in the rain.

His heart was also full of unwillingness.

It would have been nice if they could fight a battle with dignity, but until now they have been defeated at the hands of their own people.

This has been the case since the Port of the Golden Gallen.

If Prince Dilip hadn't been hastily wrapped up like that, trapped in the city and beaten by that Lassy, they would not have been driven into the Yongliu River to swim, even if they had to suffer some losses at the hands of those people.

It was a lifetime of shame.

It is also a disgrace to the entire Gray Wolf Army.

Alayan knew what his staff officer wanted to say, but he didn't want to listen to it at all.

After a while, as if he had figured out something, he suddenly sighed.

"Let's go."

"I'm ......" Gopal was stunned, not understanding what he meant.

Alayan was silent for a moment, then continued in a slow voice.

"Whether you go to the north or the south, I won't stop you, it's a little difficult to be a general with your talent, but it's okay to be a staff officer."

As he spoke, he looked at the trench in the distance, as if to Gopal, and as if to himself.

"You have been with me for so long, gambling all your net worth, just to make a name for yourself and return to your hometown. But now this fame is gone, and many of the brothers are disabled and forced to rebel...... I can't say anything more about you if I keep you. ”

"You take the rest of the people with you."

There was silence in the pouring rain, except for the clatter of the rain hitting the earth.

Gopal's eyes widened, and he looked at his general's back in disbelief, speechless for a moment.

He guessed what he was going to do, but he didn't know how to stop him.

And at this moment, Alayan shouted again.

"Get out!!"

"Yes!"

Gopal shouted hoarsely for his life, gritted his teeth and got up from the muddy ground, and staggered to the barracks step by step, moving his legs one step at a time.

The rain blurred his vision.

Also blurred Alayan.

"Whoa—"

The rain was even heavier.

Everywhere there was a roar of wind and thunder, as if it was about to engulf the whole world, just like the end of two hundred years ago.

I don't know how long I stood in the rain.

In a trance, Alayyan's eyes passed through the rain curtain and saw many figures.

The men stood silently outside the trenches, on the rain-and-mist ruins of the village, watching him in silence.

Alayyan's eyes widened, but the men disappeared again, and he didn't see them again until the rain blurred his vision again.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered who those people were.

They are the souls of those who died on the state border......

They've come to ask for their lives.

to him.

And the empire that guards him.

"Hahaha!"

Alayan suddenly smiled.

He turned his back to the sky, laughed wildly for a long time, and suddenly pulled out the matching gun at his waist.

It turns out that there are really ghosts in this world......

He used to think it was a joke.

"I curse you......"

Alayyan's face was hideous, and he opened the safety and pressed it against his jaw.

"Lassi ......"

"And all of you...... All the rebels and thieves...... You will not die well! ”

"Even if you turn into a ghost, even if you can't be reincarnated forever...... I'm going to drag you to hell too! ”

"I'm waiting for you there! Wait for your special mother to come down and accompany Lao Tzu! Lao Tzu wants to fight with you again!! ”

Suddenly there was rolling thunder in the sky.

As if by heaven, Alayan let out a final roar, then slammed the trigger and wrote the last stroke of "loyalty".

"Bang ——!"

The fire flickered, and he fell to the ground with a bang.

In the moment before his consciousness fell into the abyss, he vaguely remembered that a certain captain under his command seemed to have died like this.

At that time, he only felt sorry that the person didn't have to die, but now that he thinks about it, it seems that he can't see clearly.

A long, long time ago, his legs had been buried in the red soil, but he had not been buried for a long time.

Perhaps, he should have died a long time ago......

……

The torrential rain fell for five days and five nights, and did not stop until the early morning of the sixth day.

However, this year's Mammoth State is not like previous years, although the Tasan River flooded for a while, it did not turn the entire southeastern state into a flooded country.

Lassi is a borrower and a borrower.

Although he blamed the dead man for blowing up the embankment, he still cleaned up the mess.

Since the introduction of the labor export policy, Mammoth State authorities have built a larger, generator-equipped on the Tasan River with cement purchased from the port of Saifan, and planned a special flood storage area with input from the Union's hydrogeologists.

The original embankment was the private property of the aristocracy, and now it will serve all the people of Mammoth.

In addition, irrigation canals were used to widen the irrigated areas from the land that had originally belonged to the nobility to the villages used to house the displaced people.

Even if the elders of the Moon Resistance Army didn't like his style, they had to admit that this guy was indeed capable in a sense.

He is using specific methods to solve specific problems......

in the barracks.

Shawa, the leader of the stormtroopers, lifted the curtain and entered the tent, looking at Lassi's report as he looked down at the map.

"The Gray Wolf Army has retreated."

There were no surprises on Lassi.

If it hadn't rained for too long, the five divisions he had deployed on the border might have surrounded the other side.

"Where are they going?"

Shawa whispered.

"Went south to ......"

South......

I actually went south.

Lassi was stunned for a long time, and suddenly felt a sense of melancholy in her heart, it seemed that this Alayan really hated herself.

Going south is the next step.

Whether it is to vote for the Tiger Army or to take Mazhou to stand on its own, there is no future, and it is even better to go west to the Borneo country to gamble on Absek's heart and strength.

Huzhou faces the sea on one side and is surrounded by strong neighbors on three sides, so it is impossible to open up strategic space at all.

The location there determines that no matter how big the local warlord is, he can only be the king of the mountain, and one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers.

If he is in Alayyan's position, he will definitely go north to take refuge in himself, and only he will reuse him.

After all, the Moon Clan Resistance Army is not monolithic, even from the perspective of checks and balances, it is beneficial to take him in by himself.

Looking at the melancholy Lassi, Shawa continued in a deep voice.

"In addition, we caught several deserters of the Gray Wolf Army on the border, according to them...... Their general died. ”

"Dead?! Alayan? Lassi looked at him in astonishment, took two steps forward and grabbed his shoulders, "How is that possible?!" How he died! ”

Looking at the anxious chief, Shawa smiled bitterly, shook his head and said.

“…… I don't know, I just heard that it was suicide. ”

Lassi let go of his shoulders, her eyes blank, and she froze in place for a long time.

After a moment, he finally came back to his senses, looked at his subordinates and said.

"Pass it on, Alayan died in the bombing, and we won the battle."

"That guy isn't a nice guy, but a respectable opponent...... Flag him at half-mast. ”

It's a shame to commit suicide.

That guy wasn't supposed to end up like this.

After all, he is an opponent who has been fighting with him for more than half a year, and he wants to give him back a little face.

Shawa didn't ask much and nodded.

"Yes."

……

“…… Outside the nickname! The Mosquito attack aircraft shows its might! The Imperial God of War is dead! The Gray Wolf Army is defeated! ”

"Xilan is dead!"

On the streets of Kinggallen Harbor, a newsboy with a backpack on his shoulder walked the streets shouting, and passers-by heard him pull out a four-gallon coin and buy a newspaper that was still hot from his hand.

Looking at the news in the printed newspaper, the people on the street suddenly turned their heads and ears in surprise.

"Alayan is actually dead?!"

"Still bombed by planes!"

"Damn, that guy should have died a long time ago!"

"I don't know if the witch camel will be angry to death and accompany him."

"Hahaha!"

There was a lot of ridicule on the street, and there was no one who wiped the tears of the empire.

And on the Yongliu River, more than ten kilometers away, a man who was sick in bed slammed the newspaper in his hand to the ground.

"Son!"

The witch camel cursed in his mouth, his eyes bulging like goldfish, and suddenly coughed.

The eunuch next to him was startled, and hurriedly hugged him, some touched his pulse, and some pinched a towel to wipe his sweat, but was pushed away by the witch camel.

"Get out!"

The sound was like thunder, and frightened the eunuchs to their knees and retreat to the side on their knees.

Hearing the sound in the "dormitory", Prince Dilip walked in from the outside and happened to see the newspaper on the ground.

He subconsciously wanted to bend down and pick it up, but when he saw the headline of the newspaper, he took his hand back with interest.

Good one to stand on its own.

This is already too lazy to act.

Prince Dilip sighed softly in his heart and walked to the bed of the witch camel.

"Your Majesty...... You should listen to the doctor's advice, watch less news, and don't hurt your body. ”

Since the last time he fainted, Wu Huo's body has been getting worse day by day, and now he can't even get out of bed.

Looking at Prince Dilip, who was looking at him with a concerned face, the witch camel suddenly grinned, supported the bed with his elbows, and sat up halfway through.

Dilip ...... Do you know why I didn't take you west in the first place? ”

Is there any reason for this, because the army of the Heavenly King is in the west......

Dilip couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, lamenting that His Majesty was really sick of his brain, but he lowered his head and didn't dare to say it.

"Your Majesty...... Forgive me for being stupid, I don't know. ”

A ruddy glow appeared on the witch's face, and a gentle smile curled up at the corners of his mouth.

"We and the Legion are actually colonizers, but the objects of colonization are different...... So we are natural allies. It's not about geography, it's something more essential. ”

"However, it is precisely because we are all colonizers that we can only enjoy happiness together, not share weal and woe...... Once we are in trouble, they will unceremoniously bite us hard. ”

There are many things that you can't know when you're in the game, but you can see it when you're outside.

He also figured out some things after he came out of the heavenly capital.

The old nobles who cheered "Your Majesty Shengming" didn't really think he was wise.

The people who stood on the shore and watched him really looked at him like a monkey.

In the past, he lamented that he was surrounded by stupid talents, and there were few people available in the huge province of Borneo, and he suddenly woke up from his dream when he came to Golden Gallen Harbor.

It's not that there are no people available in the province of Borneo, it's just that those who have real skills don't want to be used by him, and his strength can't accommodate those people, and over time, there are naturally only real stupid people and smart people who pretend to be stupid.

Maybe he should have died sooner.

The witch camel sighed, and suddenly felt sorry for the courtiers who had suffered with him.

It's hard for them......

"Dilip, what I regret most now is sending Akbar to the north...... At that time, I only thought that I could not put my eggs in one basket and leave a trace of blood for the Xilan royal court, but I did not want to harm all the survivors of Borneo. ”

"That son of a son can't see clearly...... The Willantes are wolves in human skin. But I can't complain about him, I taught him personally, and I can't see it clearly, and I don't realize it until the end. ”

Dilip hurriedly raised his head, but was startled by the blackened Yin Tang of the witch camel.

"What do you say...... Your Majesty, what do you mean that we are coming to an end?! We still have three armies at our disposal, as long as they meet at the port of Golden Gallen, it will be a matter of time before we recover the country of Xilan-"

"No," the witch camel waved his hand, coughed, squeezed a cloud of burgundy red on his face, and grinned at the dry corners of his mouth, "I had a dream yesterday, guess who I dreamed of?" It's Alayana...... Hehe, the guy was kneeling outside my door, and I called him in to talk, but he got up and left. ”

A sweat oozed from Dilip's forehead.

He did hear some rumors, but he didn't expect them to reach His Majesty's ears so quickly.

Who the hell brought this news to His Majesty?!

It's not just the entire empire, can't they even control the people around them?

Dilip broke out in a cold sweat, but the witch camel didn't think so, and sighed to himself.

"I'm sorry for him, and I'm sorry for the soldiers of the Gray Wolf Army...... They were all loyal lads, and the most loyal lads in the entire empire. It is the widows who are incompetent, not them. ”

Dilip fell to his knees, pressed his forehead to the ground and pleaded.

"Your Majesty...... Please don't say any more, your body ......"

It's useless to say or do anything now, it's better not to know too much, and it's the most important thing to live.

Now that the dazed prince has gone to Xifan Harbor, if something happens to His Majesty again, it will not be as simple as setting up another royal court, and the orthodoxy of the empire will really fall into the hands of the legions!

However, the witch camel did not listen to him, and just took care of himself.

"Nope! I have to say...... My body can't stand it anymore, and I won't be blind until I finish speaking......"

As he spoke, he coughed twice, this time with a trace of blood.

The nearest eunuch saw the blood, got up from the ground with a pale face, and hurriedly grabbed the pill from the tray on the bedside table.

"Your Majesty takes medicine ......"

"Get out!"

The witch camel roared angrily, and pushed him backwards, and the whole person sat up as if he had returned to his eyes.

"I don't want medicine!"

He took this medicine every day, but he never took it well, but his health got worse and worse.

No matter how stupid he was, he was more or less aware of something, and someone wanted him to die.

That person is not an alliance.

Nor is it the Port of the Golden Gallen.

It's not even Lassi, who hates him, and the warlords who disobey him.

The witch camel stared at Dilip who was kneeling on the ground in panic with bulging eyes, as if these things alone had exhausted all the strength of his body.

He stretched out his trembling index finger and pointed at his brother, making a final sound with his dying body.

"I, the Emperor of Xilan......"

"I'm going to pass the throne to ......"

However, to pity the creation of man, perhaps it is too much injustice.

The witch camel with his mouth open almost said Dilip's name, but swallowed it at the last moment.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!!! What are you all doing on your knees? Hurry up and save people! ”

Looking at his brother who had collapsed on the bed, Dilip cried into tears, yelling hysterically, urging the eunuchs who were in a hurry to get up.

He didn't want to be an emperor.

He just wanted the witch camel to wake up and carry this thousand-pound burden again.

The room was filled with the sound of crying and crying.

Before the bed, the eunuchs hurriedly helped His Majesty up, stuffed the pill into his mouth, and fed him water to drink, only to find that he finally swallowed his last breath.

"Your Majesty!"

"Wake up, Your Majesty!"

"Woooooooooo......oo Ahhh ”

Mournful cries filled the room, not just Prince Dilip, who was crying, almost everyone couldn't help but cry and wash their faces with tears.

Except for one person.

It was a young court maid.

At the age of eighteen, she has a beautiful face and figure, like a lotus flower in midsummer.

Born into a small aristocratic family in Port Goldgallen, she grew up living a pampered life, just like the men and women depicted there.

When Governor Nehac was imprisoned and her family went into decline, she had to make a living as the second daughter and work in a theater in the port district.

She is a person who is at ease with what she encounters, she has seen the prosperity of the new era, and she does not miss the dignity of the old era so much.

Money is enough.

As long as she had money, she could live better than before, even more like a nobleman than her old father, who knelt on the deck of the royal merchant ship and begged for food with a handful of snot and tears.

Just two months ago, her distant uncle approached her and asked her to do something.

Her uncle promised to give her a large sum of money when the matter was completed, and it was money that she would never earn in her life.

She didn't hesitate to agree.

With the help of her uncle, she followed the crew to the ship to perform, and then without any accident, she was caught by the witch camel who was entertaining the guests and accepted into the palace.

Her job was very simple, just replace the medicine prescribed by the doctor for Wu Huo into sugar pills, and talk to him about Golden Gallen Harbor from time to time on the pillow.

There is no need for her to boast very bluntly, as long as he realizes how failed he is as an emperor.

Walking outside the cabin, she took the bottle of sugar pills from her sleeve and poured them all into the river, watching them disappear into nothingness in the undulating waters.

She didn't care if it was a sugar pill or a poison, it didn't matter anymore.

The useless old fellow's legs had already taken root in the red soil, and it didn't make a difference if he died early or late, and it was even the same whether or not someone pushed him.

Rather, he had to thank himself for not having to be the king of the lost country.

She took out a small earring and hung it on the crystal clear earlobe, and her red lips curled into a very light smile.

"Uncle."

"That person is dead, can you tell me the password for that card?"

The surging river buried the last conspiracy.

While the old ministers of the empire were still crying and mourning, a telegram had been sent to Xifan Harbor after several turns.

The command of the barracks.

Looking at the telegram presented by his henchmen, the corners of General Gurion's straight mouth finally curled into a smile.

It had been a little more than half a month since that trial, and he hadn't heard good news for a while, and now something good had finally happened that deserved him to smile.

"Good!"

Throwing this sentence down, he slapped the telegram on the command table, and then walked to the map.

After staring at the strategic deployment on the map for a long time, he looked back at his henchmen and ordered.

"The 'Migratory Birds' program was terminated, and the 'Cuckoo' program was launched, so that Akbar was immediately ready to ascend the throne and inherit the throne of the Witch Camel."

"In addition, an ultimatum was issued to the authorities of the Mammoth State, demanding that they immediately withdraw their troops from the three northern states and return the three northern states to His Royal Highness Akbar, the new king of Xilan! The Legion will not abandon its allies, and if this group of rebels does not comply, we will avenge Alayan! ”

In addition, a telegram was sent to the Borneo kingdom in the name of the royal court of Silan, demanding military access. If they refuse, we cannot guarantee that they are absolutely safe. ”

When his henchmen heard this, they immediately stood up straight and gave a military salute.

"Yes!"

Looking at the henchman who turned to walk out of the tent, General Gurion looked back at the map that had been divided into several pieces by his battle line with a happy smile on his face.

The three northern states are currently under the de facto control of the Mammoth State, and there are about five divisions deployed on the border of the Dog State, mainly light infantry and artillery.

Three 10,000 troops are enough to penetrate there.

When he takes Gouzhou, he will be able to start the second phase of the offensive - to attack the heart of Borneo from the west and north, Niuzhou, where the capital of heaven is located.

All the preparations were ready, and only a gunshot was missing.

He's been planning for this day for too long.

The show is finally about to begin!
