In the central mountainous area, within the coalition forces that had finally stabilized their position, the pessimism of defeat was spreading ruthlessly. Everyone knew that they had lost, and they retreated here in one breath from a place more than 100 kilometers away from Saint Lo.
On the defensive position of the Susus Empire, two generals were walking side by side. They were the commanders of these troops and came here to inspect the frontline positions.
They built a line of defense based on the mountains. Although it looked shaky, due to the mountainous environment, the actual defense pressure was not great.
As long as they guard a few passages in the mountainous area, they can block the Tang army's attack and cover the entire rear of Ironforge.
The old general walking in front had gray hair. He was a veteran of the Susus Empire and had held an important position in the army twenty years ago.
As he walked, he said to the young general who was half a step behind: "Our situation is already very passive. If we continue to fight, then we need to consider how to obtain supplies for the troops..."
"The transportation capacity is close to the limit. A large amount of materials are being transferred to Ironforge. Our side does not seem that important." The young general sighed and reluctantly followed up on these issues.
The old general sneered: "Not important?"
"In other words, relatively speaking, it's not that important." The young general corrected himself.
In fact, their defense line is also very important, but in comparison, their situation is indeed much better than that of the dwarf troops near Ironforge.
"If this place is lost, then the Tang army may cross from the flanks and surround Ironforge." The old general glanced at the mountains in the distance and said to the young general beside him.
If their current defense line is broken through, they will be out of danger. The Tang Army's armored forces will march into the plain area south of Ironforge and can easily sweep across the rest of the Ice Empire.
The young generals are still very confident in continuing the battle relying on the mountainous areas. They are all lightly armed troops and have natural advantages in fighting in the mountainous areas.
Therefore, he comforted the old general in front of him and said: "But after all, there are still five army groups here. Although most of the heavy weapons have been lost, this is a mountainous area after all, and we still have a certain chance of winning."
Today, the other party invited him to inspect the position. After arriving, the discussions between the two parties seemed to be filled with a sense of pessimism. This made the young general very unhappy, feeling that the old general had been frightened by the Tang army.
The other party remained silent, which inevitably made the young general even more irritated. He suddenly caught a glimpse of the old general wearing a ring engraved with a dandelion on his finger.
He had seen this thing before. It seemed that many of the staff officers and pilots who had studied abroad in the Tang Dynasty carried something like this to prove their "study abroad status."
But the old general in front of him seemed to have never been to the Tang Empire. Seeing the doubtful look on the other side, the old general rubbed the ring on his finger nonchalantly, and said openly: "I'm interested in this."
?It... should be said to be a kind of proof of identity. I dare to wear it today, it’s very beautiful, isn’t it?”
The panic was seen in the eyes of the young general. The old general smiled and continued: "More than twenty years ago... there was a man who led five hundred people into the Kingdom of Susas, stirring up the situation and killing people.
The heads are rolling in... I'm old and I really don't want to see such a scene again."
The young general smiled awkwardly and comforted him: "Why did the old general say this... Even if the front line collapses now, it is still within the Ice Empire, and it is not the Susas Empire's turn to suffer, right?"
While comforting him, he glanced at his entourage, hoping that the guards and adjutants brought over would realize that the current situation was very dangerous.
The old general here paid no attention to his actions, and just said to himself: "You were in the northern part of the kingdom at that time, and you just heard the name of that person. I am the one who has really experienced all that...
Believe me, from that moment on, I knew that the Susus Empire could only survive in the shadow of that man."
"How can it be so serious..." The young general added awkwardly. He really wanted to call a guard now, but the two guards were standing together. Even if they were to fight, they seemed to be well prepared.
The home team has an advantage.
"Take a look at this letter." The old general took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to the other party: "Open it and take a look."
"Huh? What is this?" The young general took it over anxiously.
"A letter from Silver Fox to persuade you to surrender." The old general replied: "The Tang Empire guarantees the safety of your family. As long as you are willing to lead the troops to surrender, the people of Susas can be forgiven."
"You...are you from the Tang Empire?" After hearing this, the young general finally confirmed that the other party had already turned to their enemy.
The old general forced an awkward smile: "I owed a favor at that time, and now it's time to repay the favor."
At that time, he was defeated by Tang Mo, and then the Silver Fox came to find him... and what happened next was a matter of course. He had long since become a pawn placed by the Silver Fox in the Susus Empire.
Going south from the Binghan Empire and past the Yangmu Empire, you actually reach the core traditional sphere of influence of the Tang Group. In the Beiling area controlled by Susas, there are also the Yucheng and Bunas areas controlled by the Lions Empire.
Tang Group's penetration is comparable to mercury pouring down the earth.
It would be too naive to think that the Tang Empire has little influence in these places. In fact, in many places, the Tang Empire's intelligence system is more powerful than the local city lords.
This is the true strength of the Tang Empire. Those who think that the coalition forces are monolithic are having water in their heads.
"Damn it...you know, our family members are all still there..." The young general was so panicked that sweat broke out on his forehead. Susas I did not completely trust them. These generals who led troops on the front line,
The family members were actually detained in the imperial capital.
The old general smiled, because he knew that with the capabilities of the Tang Empire, everything would be ready when he was activated. So he calmly said, unhurriedly: "Believe me, they are already in the Western Continent.
.Why do you think I revealed my identity today? It’s because the Tang Empire has made all preparations. You and I... are just chess pieces whose fate has been determined long ago."
