Snake State, Theater Command.

Hearing the good news from Tiandu, Shah Rukh's mouth opened wide in surprise, and his expression was incredulous.

After a while, he paced to the window, took out a tissue, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and muttered something in his mouth.

"The dog said...... Really let this Absec be guarded. ”

Originally, in his expectation, Tiandu City could not be defended, and the turning point of the battle situation had to be after the airships of the Southern Army were dispersed, so he rushed to the south to prepare for the war.

As a result, I didn't expect that the Southern Army was strong and middle-class, and the five airships were wiped out by the alliance, and nearly 100,000 troops were driven back a hundred kilometers and returned to the place where the river turned.

After thinking about it for a long time, he threw the tissue into the trash and gritted his teeth to make a decision.

"The dog said...... We've got to go north! ”

From Snake State to the north to Wolf State, and then from the northwest corner of Wolf State to Lion State.

In this way, a third front has been opened. The battle of the province was over, and he, the "King of Horses", was paddling the whole time, and finally carried a negative combat infamy.

A plan suddenly came to his heart, and Shah Rukh immediately grabbed the phone on the table and ordered.

"Call Zeyd to me."

More than a month ago, that guy named Zaid came to Snake State from Horse State with the Gray Wolf Army, and he still had the title of commander-in-chief of the Snake State Theater on his head.

How can a state accommodate two commanders-in-chief?

Shah Rukh could see at a glance that this was Absec dissatisfied with his imminent escape, and found a cannon fodder to come out and beat him.

The reason why he is said to be cannon fodder is mainly because he has never seen this person, and he is obviously not a descendant of Absec, even if he dies, it will not make the latter feel distressed.

But it is precisely because of this that even if he kills someone, Absec will not turn against him.

This is a move to ask for directions.

Interestingly, though, Absec's vision doesn't seem to be very good.

Before Anwo carried him behind his back to make small moves, this cannon fodder was even more unwilling to be a pawn to death, as soon as he arrived in Snake State, he took his hand, first told his admiration for him, and then took the initiative to give up the title of commander-in-chief.

This series of operations amused Shahruq, especially since Zaid promised to assist Absech in becoming the commander after counting his incompetence.

Although Shah Rukh didn't think he had the ability, he still admired his ability to persuade the Gray Wolf Army to surrender.

This guy can play tricks, and being a general is a little less interesting, but there is no problem in being a minister.

And in order to disgust Absek, he immediately gave this Zaid the title of adviser - the person you sent to beat Lao Tzu became Lao Tzu's junior brother, so ask you if you are angry.

And the Zeid was quite intellect, and happily put on the title of advisor.

Later, Shah Rukh left the people by his side to watch, and threw Gopal and other gray wolves under his command to the north of Snake State to stay, which was equivalent to house arrest.

This matter has developed here, and it can be regarded as the end.

However, the sudden good news from Tiandu made him think of Zeid, the "commander-in-chief of the Snake State Theater".

It didn't take long for a soft knock at the door, and Zeid walked in from outside.

"General, are you looking for me?"

Looking at Zaid who appeared at the door, Shah Rukh cleared his throat and said in a serious tone.

"The situation on the front line is urgent, and now the entire province of Borneo is fighting against the legions, and we have not been able to do anything. Before, the situation did not allow it, but now that the situation allows, I plan to set up a field army to fight in Lion State. ”

"With the talent of a gentleman, it is too condescending for you to be a consultant, and you should show your strength on the battlefield. In this case, you bring Gopal and the gray wolves, and I will give you another 50,000 men, and make sure that our banner is planted on the head of the Lion City! ”

Using someone else's troops to do his own thing, the more Shah Rukh thought about it, the more he felt that he was a fucking genius!

It doesn't matter if you win or not.

As long as these gray wolves and the legion are miserable enough, no one can say that he can't help.

However, Shah Rukh didn't know that this little bit of caution in his heart had long been seen through.

Zeid knew what shit he wanted to poop as soon as he pouted his ass, but he wasn't in a hurry, just smiled faintly.

"General, don't be impatient, I understand that your blood for serving the country has nowhere to be released, but it is not yet time for you to go north."

Seeing that this grandson was not on the road, Shah Rukh raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.

"It's not that I'm impatient, it's just that the battle situation on the front line is treacherous and changeable, and I'm afraid that it will be too late if I wait any longer. Mr. Zeid must be afraid, right? In my troops, you have to eat guns for fear of war. ”

Listening to the agitation and threats in those words, Zeid smiled unmoved.

"The general laughed, when I was in Xifan Harbor, I was never afraid of facing the legion alone, how could I be afraid after gaining an advantage?"

Shah Rukhpi snorted without smiling, his face was also unmoved, but his eyes were getting colder and colder.

It's a good one to be alone.

The one or two thousand people who died in vain that day were not people?

And how did I hear that you even ran away from your shoes?

But he didn't tear it down.

The elephant didn't have to reason with the ants, it was too easy for him to pinch this guy to death.

As if sensing Shahruq's murderous intentions, Zeyd's voice quickened slightly, and he continued.

"Does the general know how long the Eastern Army's eastward expansion faction has been fighting with the Great Rift Valley?"

I don't know why the topic is related to the Eastern Legion, Shah Rukh said with a frown.

"I don't know...... Eastern Legion: I know, what is this eastward expansion faction? ”

Zeid explained quietly.

“…… The Eastern Expansion faction belongs to an unpopular political force within the Eastern Legion, and it belongs to the kind of strength that is not ranked, and they are committed to expanding to the eastern part of the Great Desert that the Eastern Legion cannot control. To use an inappropriate analogy, if the Eastern Legion is compared to the Borneo Kingdom, then the Eastward Expansion faction is the Family Association and the Gray Wolf. ”

Shah Rukh was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed.

"Your analogy is interesting."

Seeing that his weakness had an effect, Zeid smiled slightly and continued.

"Without the support of the Eastern Army, the Eastward Expansion sent a million-strong army to an expedition across tens of thousands of kilometers, and it took a full year to fight the Great Rift Valley before it came to fruition, and the impact of the aftermath of the war has not yet ended."

"On the other hand, although there are various factions within the Southern Legion, there are no obvious differences in the war against us as in the Eastern Legion."

"You can imagine that a dog raised by a branch of the legion can be inseparable from the remnants left behind by the War Construction Committee...... Now that the branch of the Legion is in its own hands, is there any chance that this war will end so soon? ”

Shahrukh's eyes narrowed slightly.

"What do you mean...... Will this war continue? ”

What worries him the most is that this war will end too quickly, and he will show that he has no sense of existence.

But if, as Zaid analyzed, this war will still be fought for a long time, then it is a little inappropriate to be in this muddy water now.

His troops should play the final role, not add fuel to the plate.

"That's certain," Zeid patiently continued, looking at Shah Rukh with twinkling eyes, "the Alliance will not be satisfied with the victory of a local battle, and the Southern Army will not admit defeat in a local battle. ”

"The latter will continue to mobilize, even if their mobilization has only just begun. And the former will continue to mobilize their allies, especially on the East Coast. ”

"The scope of this war will not be confined to Borneo, but will continue to the west of the Great Desert, as well as to the colonies of the Southern Legion and even to the mainland...... And this war will not end in the fate of the survivors of Borneo, but will ultimately affect the vast majority of the survivors in the entire wasteland. ”

"There must be some kind of agreement between the alliance and the corporations, they want to eliminate all the hidden dangers once and for all, and this is destined to be a protracted war."

"It is precisely for this reason that it is far from the time to divide the spoils, and you are indeed in a bit of a hurry to send troops at this moment."

After hearing what Zaid had said, Shah Rukh fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he sat back in his chair.

Looking at the relaxed shoulders, Zeid knew that he had managed to convince him, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

Although these warlords can play tricks, they don't have many tricks, and they just use a few tricks over and over. Either he borrowed a knife to kill someone, or he watched the fire from the other side.

Both Absec and Shah Rukh seemed to him too weak.

While Zeid was thinking so, Shah Rukh had his own plans in mind.

He asked himself that his intelligence was not inferior to anyone, but when it came to "international vision", he really couldn't compare with these people who had seen the outside world.

Like now.

He didn't even know that the Eastern Legion had an eastward expansion faction, and this eastward expansion faction had been fighting the Great Rift Valley for a whole year.

It's not appropriate to let Zaid and the Gray Wolves out, and you still have to stay with you to feel at ease.

"But...... Wouldn't it be nice for us to stay put? ”

Zeid said with a smile.

"Who said that you have to stand in Tiandu as cannon fodder to call it a move? You are the commander-in-chief of the Snake Prefecture Theater, isn't this Snake Continent a war zone? ”

Looking at Shah Rukh with a strange face, Zeid smiled mysteriously and continued slowly.

"I've rescued the Alliance Emissary who was held captive by the Legion."

Shah Rukh was stunned.

Boy......

Talent!

Just when Shah Rukh was shocked by Zeid's methods, two family members dressed as farmers carried a stretcher into the barracks at the headquarters of the Gray Wolf Army in the northwest of Snake State.

The family at the head seemed to know the soldiers on duty at the gate of the barracks, and after a few words, he was allowed to go, and he was carried in with another family member.

After sitting in the "sedan chair" all the way, lying on the stretcher, the old dog was also a little reluctant to go.

In fact, halfway through, his injuries were almost healed, but these people insisted on carrying him away.

Seeing the two of them put him down, he was about to say "hard work", but the other party opened his mouth first.

"Brother, I have wronged you."

"No grievance, no grievance......," the old dog smiled embarrassedly, then glanced around, and asked, "Where is this place?" ”

After staying with these people for so long, he has learned some of the terms of daily communication, and Renlianyu is no longer as stumbling as before.

The family said with a hearty smile.

"This is Snake State! Own people's territory! ”

Snake State!

Hearing this word, the old dog was a little impressed.

He and the eagle seemed to be passing by when they were on the boat before, and I remember that it was the southernmost corner of Borneo Province.

However, he quickly reacted.

That's not right.

The gang said they were going to take him to the brothers of the Alliance, but why did they come to the southernmost part of the province of Borneo?

It's not a long way from the front line, and it feels like you can go to the East Coast's Golden Gallen Harbor if you turn a corner.

Thinking of this, the old dog said with a smile on his face.

“…… Wait, brother, didn't you say you were going to take me to my compatriots? Why did you bring me to Snake State. ”

"It's the same, it's the same, it's all family," the family smiled heartily, looking like I didn't mind suffering a loss, and continued, "By the way, brother, the fellow of Surak County said that you are the envoy of the Alliance, and you are really the envoy of the Alliance?" ”

Seeing that the man was staring at him with blazing eyes, the old dog was also a little embarrassed, and explained with a dry cough.

“…… Strictly speaking, I should be considered a volunteer, and I always bring my own dry food to help. ”

After listening to what he said, the family said with a smile to themselves as if they hadn't heard it at all.

"Brother, you don't have to be so nervous, there are no Willant people here, we are all our own people."

The old dog couldn't cry or laugh.

"But I'm not."

The two of them talked to each other for a long time, so much so that the old dog wondered if he had learned his human language, learning "black" to "white", "thick" to "thin", and "yes" to "non".

He is not a confident person in the first place, and in reality he is even a little introverted and inferior, and instinctively feels that the problem may be his own.

Finally, when the sun set, the family member who talked to himself stopped, and the old dog was relieved.

After staying on the stretcher for a while, he felt a little unbearable, so he came out of the tent to find a toilet.

And just as he turned a few corners and finally found a convenient place, he happened to hear the whispered conversation of the two family members.

"That guy doesn't seem to be an emissary of the Alliance......"

"Don't you just think of him, everyone has been rescued, and he is a citizen of the alliance after all. This is a great achievement, and you and I can't be sloppy. ”

"That's right...... What about tomorrow's interview? ”

"I won't let him speak...... Let's just say that he is not feeling well, and we will interview him for him. ”

"That's a high method!"

"Low-key, low-key, it's all for the family...... Hey. ”

Although the old dog heard vaguely, it probably meant that he understood.

It was precisely because of this that he was shocked.

Boy.

It's not that these NPCs can't understand people's words, and they've been pretending to be confused for a long time!

To have such an eye, this artificial intelligence is really a bit of a bull's criticism......

The old dog vaguely felt as if he was on a thief ship, but after all, he didn't open his eyes, and there was too little information about the family meeting on the forum, so he wanted to know more before making a judgment......

……

While the old dog was secretly observing, the news of the heavy defeat on the eastern front of the Southern Army was also brought back to Xifan Harbor with the wounded who had returned to the rear to rest.

However, physical failure and spiritual failure are two different things.

Although Captain Ryan and his men suffered a crushing defeat on the Eastern Front, the front line did not lie, at least Triumph City was still in the hands of the Wilantes.

Even if Triumph City has a lot of criticism about Avent City, it is also a matter for the Willant people.

Later the next day, the local newspaper in Saifan Harbor offered a euphemistic rhetoric about the "strategic shift" at the front, focusing on the collapse of the Heavenly Palace, as well as the protests of the "incompetent king" Absec against the alliance and his angry rebuke of the academy.

Although they did not interview the person concerned, this did not prevent them from reporting.

However, while these newspapers took care of the feelings of the Willants, they ruthlessly forgot about their dear "old friends".

Although the major newspapers did not say it explicitly, they all hinted openly and secretly that the collapsed Heavenly Palace was the work of the five steel airships, and it was also a warning to the rebels from the Southern Legion.

In a sense, these news do play a certain "positive" role.

Hearing the news of the collapse of the Heavenly Palace, almost all the Brahminas felt more or less depressed and depressed.

It is true that their ancestors did not leave them much that would make their faces shine, whether it was the red clay or the city of a thousand pillars, the evaluation was more ridicule.

Only the Heavenly Palace is not.

When it comes to the incredibleness of the Heavenly Palace, even a beggar who is not clothed can puff out his chest proudly.

Commissioner Kabaha doesn't really know his own countrymen.

In his eyes, the Heavenly Palace was a shackle, a cage, but in the eyes of others, it was a castle that guarded the last vestiges of their pride.

After the news of the collapse of the Heavenly Palace was announced, there was a gloomy mood - or nihilism - throughout Xifan Harbor.

People comfort each other, a palace is just a palace, it collapses, it collapses, and the sky does not fall, life still has to go on.

However, no one realized that the comforting metaphor they blurted out.

Being alive seems to have become the purpose of their lives.

Although it has been this way for a long time, the negative nothingness has never been so complete......

Of course, the victories flaunted by the Southern Army in the newspapers were not necessarily all frustration for the locals.

For example, Emperor Akbar was furious at this moment.

“…… This dog is called Absek! ”

Looking at the "Southern Army Victory Newspaper" in his hand, Akbar's face turned blue and white for a while, and finally he couldn't help but slam the newspaper on the table.

He trembled with rage, and his clenched gums wanted to bite the name to pieces.

"How dare this dog-called Absek...... How dare you destroy the lonely palace! When Gu catches him, he will definitely be flayed alive and fed to the dogs! ”

Looking at His Majesty the Emperor who was furious, the old man of the lion clan on the side trembled and grabbed the ground with his head, not daring to raise his head.

But he was terrified, and his heart was full of confusion.

What was written in this newspaper was clearly that the airship had blown up the Heavenly Palace, so why did His Majesty curse Absek.

Then he suddenly thought of another detail, and soon after the "good news" came, the 300,000-strong team led by Captain Ryan moved to Akaal County, the dangerous pass where the Southern Army had fought with the rebels countless times.

If he remembers correctly, Akale County should be at the rear of the front line, why is it that the more you win, the fewer positions?

The old man thought to himself.

There is another hidden story behind this......

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door, interrupting the old man of the lion tribe.

There was no knock on the door, the door to the room was pushed open, and an officer strode in.

Akbar saw his nose and immediately had a flattered smile on his face.

"General Gurion?! What wind is blowing you in? ”

Gurion's face was gloomy, and his slightly protruding jawbones looked a little haggard.

The Chief of the General Staff was very dissatisfied with his performance and scolded him on the phone.

In short, due to the defeat of the front-line troops, the original idea of the Southern Army to "sweep the province of Borneo in two months" could no longer be realized.

To win this war, they must mobilize in the colonies and even in their homeland!

That's not a good thing.

Something like this hasn't happened for a long, long time since they planted the flag at the southernmost tip of the Great Desert......

Looking at the flattering expression on Akbar's face, Gurion's brows stretched slightly, and the bridge of his nose was straightened again.

"There's something I need you to do."

Akbar didn't feel wrong at all about that arrogant tone, but nodded his head in joy.

"General, please command! As long as I can do it, I will do my best! ”

Gurion was not polite, beckoned to his retinue, motioned for the latter to fetch a document and hand it to Akbar.

Without waiting for the latter to ask, he took the initiative to speak.

"I need you to write an edict, you can copy a copy of this document."

Edict?

Akbar was slightly stunned, and unfolded the Chinese piece in his hand to look at it, which at first glance looked like a thief's article, but a closer look found that things were far from so simple.

This is a mobilization edict.

The Southern Legion wants to recruit one million troops from the Lion State Dog State to support front-line operations.

"Wouldn't it be too much to mobilize so many people?"

Akbar's face showed a look of embarrassment, and he looked at the frowning General Gulion and continued.

"A million people...... Even if they could afford to eat and wear themselves, we wouldn't have so many guns for them. ”

Hearing that this guy was worried that there were not so many guns, General Gurion stretched his frown again.

"You don't have to worry about this, not only guns, but also food and clothing, and all other supplies, all of which are borne by us."

Hearing this, Akbar immediately lost his opinion and said overjoyed.

"That's great! Rest assured, the last thing that Borneo lacks is people! Don't say a million, it's two million, three million! We can definitely make it up, too! ”

When the young man is dead, let the old guy go, and when the old guy dies, there will be the little one.

Akbar didn't care if those guys lived or died.

The collapse of the Heavenly Palace made him figure it out.

If he can't be the emperor of Xilan, what's the use of keeping those mustards alive? It would be better for them to die a little longer, so that his throne can be more secure.

General Gurion looked at him and smiled, the gloom on his face finally dispelled a little.

Maybe that's what companion animals are all about.

He suddenly wanted to get a dog.

Looking at Akbar, who had a flattering smile on his face, he commanded in a tone that was neither salty nor light.

"I will write it as soon as I know it, I hope to see this edict on my desk tomorrow."

Not knowing how the man in front of him saw him, Akbar was still secretly happy that he could finally make a difference.

General Gurion did not forget about this old friend of his.

The Legion still needs him!

"Don't wait for tomorrow! I promise to have someone deliver to your house before dark! ”
