Chapter Thirty-Seven: We urgently need reinforcements
In the western suburbs of the imperial capital, Yongning Manor.
When Xie Ning'er returned here, the deep night had completely fallen, the girl's face was full of worry, but the Yongning Manor under the night was peaceful and peaceful amidst the bright magic lights.
From time to time, a few laughter and childish voices came out from the main building, finally putting a touch of warmth on Xie Ning'er's pale face, which had always been extremely worried.
"Aunt!" "Aunt!"
As soon as they entered the door, two pretty children threw themselves on Xie Ning'er's lap one after another, putting a slight smile on the girl's face.
"Qi'er, Shuang'er, have you behaved today? Qi'er, tell aunt, today's elemental enlightenment, is Qi'er strong? Did you cry?"
Xie Ning'er knelt down, picked up a child in one hand, and asked with a smile.
…
"I, I won't cry, I will never cry!" There was a hint of timidity on the face of the little boy who was beginning to show his strength, but he waved his fist and shouted, which immediately attracted the attention of several demons following behind him.
War attendant's chuckle.
"Brother didn't cry... I just almost cried... Only Shuang'er likes the ice element enlightenment so much, it's so comfortable..." The little girl exposed her brother's lie with a sweet voice, and even giggled.
Xie Ning'er rubbed the two children's heads affectionately, and kissed them on their red little faces respectively, before looking at the woman in front of her who had silver hair on her head and wrinkles on her face, looking at them lovingly.
The man saluted.
"Mother."
she called softly.
"Well, Xiao Ning'er, when you came back this time, did you see the latest battle report in Tianwumen Square?"
Mrs. Zhao smiled and watched her young daughter being affectionate with her two beloved grandchildren. She nodded, but asked impatiently.
…
Xie Ning'er's eyes dropped slightly, and she suddenly put on a bright smile again.
"Good news, mother and sister-in-law are fine."
She said looking extremely happy.
"That's good...that's good..." Mrs. Zhao breathed a sigh of relief immediately. She took the two children from Xie Ning'er's hands and turned around with a stagger.
"I don't dare to look at the magic vision... I just want you to tell me and listen..."
"As long as it's good news, as long as it's good news..."
"Poor two little sweethearts, they haven't seen your mother's face yet, but you must not... Bah, crow's mouth! Ancestors bless you, good luck! Good luck!"
"Qier Shuang'er, come, before dinner, grandma will take you to look at the photos of your father and mother again, okay? Your father and mother are fighting for the empire and are waiting for their triumphant return. You must remember to call them.
...Well, you’re so good!”
She held the two children who were still full of confusion, kept mumbling, and led everyone inside.
Xie Ning'er looked at her mother's back, but there was infinite worry and desolation in her eyes. She exchanged glances with several demon war retainers around her, and followed Zhao slowly into the depths of the small building.

"So the empire is in danger?"
In the main hall of the palace, Emperor Xia Zeping was leaning on his chair tiredly. He asked Meng Gu.
In just over two years, the emperor, who was known for his energy and intangible expression of joy and anger, had aged deeply, and more and more wrinkles appeared on his face. More and more wrinkles appeared on his face.
The more sighs came out of his mouth.
At this time, his brows were frowning into the character "Chuan", and he was rubbing his brows fiercely, and asked Meng Gu, who was also starting to look older next to him.
"Yes. Your Majesty."
Meng Gu replied in a low voice.
…
"At a strategic level, the empire has begun to be at an absolute military disadvantage - it has already lost so much blood. Although the seventh battle was won first and then retreated, it can be regarded as a small victory. However, the fifth barbarian army's huge losses
Strengthen, so that the barbarian army, which is already stronger than ours, has enough confidence and strength to turn defense into offense and defeat us."
"At the tactical level, the Barbarians have Long Er, but Xia Tian is a little immature. He has more than enough use for positives and not enough for surprises. What's more, he lacks a comprehensive battle command ability that can compete with Long Er's multi-line command. The two are in harmony.
Add, add insult to injury."
"It has been more than a month since the imperial army successfully withdrew to the south bank of the Daling River and the barbarians once again threatened the Daling River. The barbarians have launched a fierce attack on our Daling River defense line several times, almost across the entire line."
…
"The latest battle report shows that the attack launched by the barbarians a few days ago has opened several gaps in our defense line. One gap even formed a breakthrough several miles wide - in the end, it happened to be guarding this section of the defense line.
The Goddess Guard Corps fought to the death and launched a counterattack at all costs under the cover of night. Xia Tian made a decisive decision and dispatched the last heavy-armed reserve team before driving them back to the other side of the river..."
"But this is just the beginning... The early attacks by the barbarians are just to test our defense strength, troop deployment and other things. The real general attack has not yet come. At that time, we..."
Meng Gu didn't say any more, but what he wanted to say was self-evident.
"The empire has indeed reached its end and is unsustainable..."
He looked pale and sighed softly.
…
"But no matter how desperate we are, we must hold on! The empire must not fall in my hands. China can no longer bear that kind of dark rule! What's more, the barbarians' intention this time is to exterminate us humans! Lao Meng,
I don’t care what method you use, but the frontline needs to be replenished with troops! Replenished with troops are urgently needed!”
The emperor suddenly stood up, his face showed a sickly flush, and he roared.
"Why don't I know these?"
Meng Gu, however, continued to smile bitterly.
"But Your Majesty, we have indeed tried our best... Those who can fight have basically been sent out, and those who cannot fight are mostly responsible for production and stabilizing order. Now, we can't summon even one more soldier from the rear.
Otherwise, even if the front can withstand it, the rear will collapse, production will not be able to keep up, and everything will come to a halt."
He said in a low voice.
…
"What should we do?" The emperor's face lost its usual composure again, and he murmured.
"Ask for help from the west..."
Meng Gu thought about it carefully and suggested: "Your Majesty, since Long Er has deployed the Fifth Army to strengthen the eastern front, his western front can only be on the defensive, and compared with the Allies, its strength is extremely fragile - they
We have mobilized our troops to the east. We can also mobilize them."
"The Joint Conference of the General Staff claimed that even if the west side is carrying out a major offensive, they are ready to attack with all their strength and succeed in the first battle. However, the strategic plan of the west side is aimed at the barbarians who still have the fifth army. Therefore, now, they think that the west side is no longer
We need to use such a huge force - they were fighting eight out of ten, and now they are fighting seven out of ten, six out of ten."
"If the West agrees, the hundreds of thousands of troops finally formed by the Merchant Alliance have just completed their assembly at this time and are on standby at the Port of Majia. They are about to be sent to the Normandy area of the Western Continent to consolidate the Allied forces' front and rear fronts in Normandy - if we allow them to be transferred to the
The long sea route is almost as close as the extreme north. In less than ten days and a half, their fleet will arrive, and we will stabilize our front again."
"Then let's do it! Why are you still dawdling? The empire can't wait any longer!" the emperor said urgently.
…
"But...the Allied General Command has different opinions..." Meng Gu sighed again.
"Although their Normandy Army successfully landed, they were unable to advance even an inch due to the stubborn resistance of the barbarians. They are now worried about being annihilated. Although they tried their best to attack from a pinch, the main force of the barbarians still seems to be entrenched in the northern part of the southern continent.
They moved, and even formed a group of magic armored regiments from the hinterland of the Western Continent to cooperate with the demonic war left behind. They started to rescue the barbarian Western Army regiment, but they just bit the Normandy Army in the back."
"The situation there is a mess now. They cut off the retreat of the Barbarian West Army Corps through the Normandy landing and surrounded the Barbarian West Army Corps. The Barbarian West Army Corps and their reinforcements surrounded the Normandy Army Corps - the result was a four-layer sandwich biscuit
.Everywhere is tight. They tried to stage the story of conquering the West, but they seemed to be a little powerless."
…
"So, the Allied General Headquarters claimed that they also urgently need those reinforcements. As for the merchant alliance people, you know, they are different from our loyal allies, the southerners. They have always only been the leaders of alliance members of the same species and race as them.
Hairpin. So... recently, they rejected our request with great regret, and said that as long as we survive the last few months to half a year, the west will definitely have a chance to win, and mankind will eventually win."
He spoke slowly, his face full of sorrow.
"Asshole! How can we survive for several months to half a year? The barbarians have been reinforced by their fifth legion, and Longer has also come to the east! In the far north, the strongest and last combat power of the empire is accumulated. Once they lose,
The empire will collapse immediately!"
The emperor was already furious at his description.
"Yeah..." Meng Gu also said angrily.
"But what they mean is to compare who is faster - whether they can defeat the barbarian Western Army Regiment faster or the barbarian Eastern Army Regiment can defeat us faster."
…
"You bastards, are you putting our lives and deaths on the gamble of their poor performance? Ten of them fought eight times and they were defeated. Ten of them fought seven times and it was a mess. Now that Long Er is gone, it is still a mess.
Battle! Can we trust them? Do we still dare to trust them?"
The emperor's face turned red and he said angrily.
"Lao Meng, go ahead and say that we are going to hold magic line talks with De Gaulle and the heads of the allied forces."
He thought for a while, but calmed down again, and gave low instructions to Meng Gu.
"Your Majesty, we have invited you many times, but de Gaulle claimed that the war situation is fierce and he must be ready to deal with the surprise attack of the barbarian war emperor at any time, and he has no time to deal with-"
Meng Gu said helplessly, but his words were interrupted by the fierce words of the emperor who could no longer bear it.
"Then tell him! We urgently need reinforcements! If he doesn't want to talk, the empire will retreat immediately! Give up the entire north and defend the Yellow River and Yangtze River! We can definitely hold that place! In short, the empire's entire national military strength must not
Losing everything to comply with their poor strategy!"
"It's just that when the time comes, it will be none of our business if the barbarian Eastern Army Regiment transfers to the west because they have no chance of victory and no control! Let them play by themselves! Just remember to notify us if they win!"
In the empty hall, the emperor's angry voice roared in series. (To be continued...)
