While Li Zijun was concentrating on eliminating Dongyu's traitors, Victor was not idle, and he planned a number of assassinations against Aojin's main generals in Aojin.

Baturg and Hope were killed, Rogge and Conrad were seriously injured at the same time, and even Simpson was assassinated, his injuries were not serious, but he couldn't continue to lead his troops to fight!

Victor took the opportunity to launch a strong attack on Eagle City, Bridget, who was ordered to be in danger, barely held out for three days, and the city gate was finally opened from the inside by the Aojin traitor, Bridget fought to the death, and finally died in the castle guard mansion of Eagle City! Eagle City was completely lost!

After capturing Eagle City, Victor immediately split up with Aubrey's troops and launched a surprise attack on Aukin's second line of defense from east and west.

With all the preparations in place and the lack of players available, Victor and Aubrey advanced extremely quickly.

By the time Li Zijun got the news, the army of Victor and Aubrey had already broken through to the outskirts of Santa Cruz, the capital city of Aojin!

In this operation, Li Zijun's intelligence system was clearly an afterthought. Annoyed, Li Zijun quickly invited Filton and Buñian, including Vero, into his study.

"Tell me, why did I guess the news of Victor's invasion of the Akkin Empire until today?" Li Zijun calmly put the information in his hand on the desk.

"This is my idea!" Vero was the first to step up.

"Why?" Li Zijun said with a cold look at Vero.

"Because, I know you can't watch Victor destroy the Aojin Empire. So, I'm on my own initiative to hide it from you in this matter!"

"This matter is completely my own idea, and it has nothing to do with the two of them!"

"Young Master, 'Concealing you' is the result of the joint discussion of the three of us, and please punish you, Young Master!" With that, Felton and Bunian knelt down on one knee in front of Li Zijun.

After looking at them quietly for a while, Li Zijun let out a long sigh:

"Get up!"

The three of them glanced at the others, and slowly got up and stood aside, this time none of them dared to sit down.

"You all sit down!" Li Zijun waved his hand helplessly, allowing the three of them to sit down again.

"Aren't you worried that after successfully occupying the Aojin Empire, Victor will unite with the Monlin Empire and turn around to attack us?" Li Zijun looked at the three of them and asked with a little unhappiness.

"A few of us discussed this possibility together, and we all felt that it was very unlikely. Judging from Victor's attitude towards the Monlin Empire at the 'Demon Gate', we are still more convinced that not only will he not unite with the Monlin Empire in the next step, but the Monlin Empire may become his next target!" Bunion, at the behest of Felton and Vero, said the result of the trio's deliberations.

"If our guess is correct, the Monlin Empire must have seen this possibility as well. And that's why they agreed to form an alliance and sent a large army, but they didn't enter the territory of the Aojin Empire for a long time!"

"What's even more interesting is that the commander who leads this army is Jia Aisi! You know, Jia Aisi has been operating in the northeast of Monlin, and the Monlin Empire has two intentions in arranging this way: one is to prevent our surprise attack, and the other is that the south has always been the eldest prince's sphere of influence, and the eldest prince does not want Jia Aisi to intervene in it!"

"There is only one reason why Jayas was able to enter the sphere of influence of Grand Prince Monlin this time, and that is that they are worried that Victor will treat them like he treats the Aojin Empire!"

"This is another proof that after learning about the situation of the Aojin Empire, Lynn acted as Jays's bodyguard!"

"Judging by the current state of Santa Cruz, how long do you think Marcus can hold out?"

"Judging from the current grain, grass and baggage reserves in Santa Cruz City, Marcas can hold out for at least half a year! But this requires a premise, that is, there can be no moles!"

"There are all indications that Victor was extremely well prepared for this operation, and many cities were surrendered without a fight during their assault. If this trend continues, it may be questionable whether Marcus can hold out for three months!"

"What did Marcus do about Victor's assault?" Li Zijun asked after a moment of contemplation.

"He is mobilizing the defenders of the northern defense line of the Aojin Empire to deploy in Beijing, it seems that he is preparing to abandon the northern defense line and fight Victor to the death in Santa Cruz!" Facton saw Bunian turn his gaze to himself, he shook his head with a wry smile, and introduced Marcas's coping strategy to Li Zijun.

"If that's the case, with what I know about Marcas, he should be able to hold Santa Cruz for more than half a year!" Li Zijun nodded to the three of them very firmly.

"At present, has there been any change in the southwestern defense line of the Fengqi Empire?"

"Not long after Victor launched his assault on the Aojin Empire, the Fengqi Empire shrank their southwestern defensive line. At present, the defense line has been retreated to the vicinity of the three cities of Crescent Moon, Waning Moon, and Reflecting Moon. Barring any surprises, they should be here to fend off our attack!"

"What are their troops?"

"About 600,000!"

"600,000, where did the Fengqi Empire get so many soldiers?" Li Zijun said in surprise.

"For many years, the Dark Moon Cult has been conducting what they call 'apologetic training' in the name of religion for men over the age of fifteen and fifty-five, as well as for women over the age of eighteen and under forty-five. This time, their fox tails are completely exposed!"

"Do you know their combat effectiveness?"

"The siege is insufficient, and the defense is more than enough, but they have all been trained as 'outlaws' by the Darkmoon God Cult, you must not underestimate them!"

"Even women have to be pushed to the battlefield, it seems that this time the Fengqi Empire is really going to end!"

"Who is the commander of this army?"

"With Slint at the head, Karen and Hamilton as his lieutenants!"

"Slint, this old thing finally can't stand the loneliness!" Speaking of this, Li Zijun paused for a moment.

"I'll give you a month to dig up as much of the remnants of the Cult of the Dark Moon God as possible hidden within my borders. A month later, regardless of the outcome, the operation was terminated. ”

"Next, you still have two months to prepare, and in three months, I will launch a general attack on the Fengqi Empire on time!"

"Young Master, in this way, you are equivalent to half a year ahead of our previous plan, isn't this a bit too hasty?" Hearing Li Zijun's words, Facton immediately stood up again.

"Wait another half a year, and I'm afraid Marcus will really not be able to hold on!"

"Young Master" Bunian followed Felton and stood up.

"I don't need to say anything! I'm not going to listen to your opinions, I'm just informing you of my latest plan: in three months, our Dongyu army will enter the Fengqi Empire on time!"

"Got it?"

"Understood!" Without any hesitation, the three of them got up and took Li Zijun's will in unison.

After the three left, Li Zijun raised his eyes and looked out the window:

"Marcus, you must hold on for half a year!"

Don't look at what Li Zijun just said with confidence, but in fact, he is only 50% sure that Marcus can really hold Santa Cruz. The rest can only be arranged by God!

"Dangdang Dang!" Just as Li Zijun was silently praying for Marcas in his heart, a chamberlain knocked on the door and walked in.

"His Royal Highness: Prime Minister Alec asks to see you!" the chamberlain first bowed to Li Zijun and reported respectfully.

"Father-in-law, I'm looking for him too, please!" Li Zijun said as he got up from his chair and walked to the door.

"Father-in-law, please come inside!" Li Zijun, as always, respectfully welcomed Alec into the room and pulled out a chair for him.

"You take a look at this first!" Alec smiled slightly, sat down and handed a document to Li Zijun.

"What is this?" With a puzzled mood, Li Zijun opened the file.

After just one glance, Li Zijun's face showed an extremely surprised expression:

"Father, how do you know?"

"Guess! I seem to be a bit of a taboo!" Alec looked at Li Zijun and smiled.

"Don't joke with me! What taboo do you commit? It's too late for me to thank you!"

"It's just that I didn't expect it, how did you conclude that I would send troops to the Fengqi Empire in three months?" Li Zijun said as he shook the document in his hand:

"Will you use troops against Feng Qi in three months? I didn't guess that, but I just think that with your character, you will definitely not watch Marcus City break to death, so compress all this to the shortest possible time!

"It's too late! Father-in-law, you're amazing!"

"You don't object to me?" Li Zijun suddenly saw that there seemed to be something more in Alec's eyes, he paused slightly, and asked in a low voice.

"Anyway, I feel that this is our best chance to reunite the Youlan Continent, and I hope I can witness this moment with my own eyes!"

"And, I know, you will never act recklessly!"

"So, I agree that you launch an attack on the Fengqi Empire at any time, and I will do everything possible to ensure your logistical supplies!" Alec looked at Li Zijun and said with a little excitement.

"Father-in-law, thank you!" Li Zijun walked up to Alec's side, and the two of them clasped their hands tightly together.

Seeing off Alec, Catherine walked in through the door.

"He's back!" Catherine whispered in Li Zijun's ear.

"He's back, where is he now?" Li Zijun hesitated for a moment, and immediately understood what Catherine meant, and he stood up from his chair abruptly.

"Wangfu!"

"No one found him, did they?"

"Don't worry! This time it was the Holy Maiden who personally escorted him, and I never knew his whereabouts!" Catherine nodded solemnly to Li Zijun. (To be continued.) )
