The bad news about Lys City shocked the entire continent as the news came back from the Eden army that arrived first.
This blow caused flaws in the Senate's carefully prepared plan.
They didn't even have time to care about the tragic situation in Lis City. They were just worried about how to deal with the actions of the Dragon City army when the siege plan was not implemented in place!
While the Senate was anxiously urging all the troops to step up and get in position, the other arm of Dragon City also started to take action!
With Jia Xu's intelligence department as the main body, supplemented by the intelligence team directly under Pang Tong's General Staff, secret operations began at several border points of the Alton Empire.
A long list of the expeditionary force is the target of this operation.
After Zhao Yun contacted the Dragon City intelligence personnel, he handed them the list of members of the Pioneer Army's family.
In order to cooperate with the smooth operation of the expeditionary force, Jia Xu, after contacting Pang Tong, decided to take some of the family members of the vanguard army back to the Byvost Empire. Of course, this operation will be very secretive, and the action team will disguise themselves as various characters to intimidate and induce them.
Let the relatives of the former Lys city defenders in the border areas be secretly transported to the empire.
The family members of the main cannon fodder around Lis City are relatively difficult to deal with. Firstly, the southern part of the Alton Empire will now be blocked, and secondly, because of the news of the plague in Liss City, many people have fled the Harvest Plain, causing the entire
Movement is extremely difficult.
But as long as one percent of the family members of the Pioneer Army are taken back, the rest will serve wholeheartedly for the Second Army.
Of course, the best situation is to be able to take back everyone, at least to ensure that the relatives of the officers selected by the Pioneer Army are taken back.
The operation was carried out in secret. Through a series of cover-ups, the Senate and the Alton Empire had no idea!
Zhao Yun told the news to the Pioneer Army. These soldiers seemed to have received happiness falling from the sky. Many of them hid their faces and shed tears. They always thought that they would never see their relatives again in this life, otherwise their sins would make them
They were also implicated, and the empire would not let them go. But now, Longcheng actually took their family members back to Longcheng, which means that the future promised by Zhao Yun was not a vague fantasy, but a real existence! This time
This aroused the passion of these people, and at this moment, they completely separated from the Alton Empire.
There is also a very important reason for this, which is the surrender of more than 10,000 original Lys City defenders. As mentioned before, the Alton Empire adheres to the saying "A good man should not be a soldier", which also proves it from the side.
, the family backgrounds of these soldiers belong to the lowest level of the empire. Otherwise, they would not risk life and death and go to the battlefield. Now that Longcheng has brought their family members to Longcheng, then they
I gave up my last thoughts and was willing to become a mad dog in Dragon City.
At least, even if you die, your loved ones can live on!
Ma Chao looked at the crying vanguard troops in front of him with complicated emotions.
As the generals of the Second Army of Dragon City, these cannon fodders originally lived a poor life, but their lives were stable. Even the defenders, although they relied on meager military pay to support their families, they could still be
They are called soldiers. But now, they have become mad dogs falling into the abyss. All of this is a plan directed by the Second Army.
Now they are so grateful to the Second Army, which makes Ma Chao feel panicked. He is not as crazy as Dian Wei. Even for Zhou Yunfei, Ma Chao still feels guilty.
"What are you thinking about?" A voice interrupted Ma Chao's thoughts.
Looking back, he saw Zhao Yun looking at him. Ma Chao turned around and was about to salute, but was interrupted by Zhao Yun.
"No need to salute, what are you thinking about?" Zhao Yun has always treated Ma Chao as a younger brother. Now he knew at a glance that Ma Chao had something on his mind, so he asked.
"Come, sit down. There are no outsiders now. If you have anything on your mind, just tell me." Zhao Yun pointed to the stone beside him with a smile and motioned for Ma Chao to sit down.
Ma Chao nodded and sat together with Zhao Yun.
"Commander, I..."
"You don't need to call me commander. There is no official position now. Just call me like before."
Ma Chao nodded, "Brother Zhao, I... I always feel panicked in my heart. Especially when I see that group of vanguard troops."
Zhao Yun sighed slightly, then patted Ma Chao on the shoulder, "Meng Qi, do you know what the letter sent by the intelligence officer today said?"
Ma Chao shook his head in confusion.
"Haha, that's a letter my lord wrote to me." Zhao Yun looked up at the night sky, his eyes suddenly wandering. Then without waiting for Ma Chao to speak, he continued: "My lord didn't reprimand me, nor did he stop our actions. It's just that
Just one sentence."
"What are you talking about?" Ma Chao immediately asked.
"Even if the whole world calls you Demon Generals and Demon Army, you are still soldiers under me, Zhou Yunfei!"
Ma Chao suddenly stood up, muttering these words in his mouth, and Zhao Yun also stood up, patted Ma Chao's shoulder again, and then walked towards the camp.
After a long time, Ma Chao suddenly raised his head, then faced the north, half-kneeling, "Meng Qi is willing to die in the service of the lord!"
After saying that, he stood up and all the distracting thoughts in his heart disappeared, leaving only firm belief.
In the distance, there was a figure who had been watching Ma Chao silently. When he saw Ma Chao's movements, a trace of what could be called a smile appeared on his rough face. He was none other than Dian Wei.
In fact, during the day, Dian Wei noticed Ma Chao's thoughts, but he was not good at words, so he had to find Zhao Yun and tell Zhao Yun about the situation. Then the previous words came about.
As for Ma Chao, he was the youngest among the top ten generals recruited by the system earlier, and he was also the most cherished younger brother. Dian Wei was no exception, but his attention was never as obvious as that of Zhao Yun. Just like Zhou Yunfei, in
Although these generals think of a young lord in their hearts, they are also close family members!
When Zhou Yunfei was recuperating, he learned about the expeditionary force's actions. He did not blame him at all, but was willing to bear all the bad reputation for them. This shows how deep the bond between them is!
"Even if you are the demon army, you are still my soldiers, Zhou Yunfei!"
Nothing can make people's blood boil more than these words. So Ma Chao's heart knot was solved, and Dian Wei also left secretly.
After daybreak, the expeditionary force will launch the second phase of strategic operations.
This plan came from Pang Tong, and one word can sum up the entire plan!
Of course, this plan is also unexpected. Facing the encirclement formed by the Senate's 500,000 troops, using this method is the way to break it!
While the expeditionary force was resting, Linda was watching the latest intelligence in the house.
Putting down the letter she had just read, Linda picked up the teacup at hand and took a sip.
"So, the army of Dragon City is more than 20,000? And there are infantry?" Linda put down her tea cup and asked the middle-aged man standing on one side.
"Yes, Miss. Judging from the deserters from Julio Branch, the number of Longcheng Army is more than 20,000. Comparing the oral confessions of several soldiers, the number is approximately more than 50,000."
Linda frowned. The intelligence in her hand showed nothing about the sudden appearance of tens of thousands of troops. This proved two situations.
First, Dragon City sent tens of thousands of soldiers into the empire through special channels.
The second is that there may be people within the empire who are allied with Dragon City, and these troops belong to those traitors.
Either situation would be very difficult for the Senate.
Just imagine, when the Senate closed the encirclement with great hope, they suddenly discovered that enemy troops appeared from nowhere, broke the blockade, and inflicted heavy damage on the Senate. Or maybe at the critical moment, the traitors suddenly exerted their strength.
, let go of the Dragon City army, or unite to give the Senate a blow.
No matter what the situation is, the Senate is not optimistic. The top priority now is to find out where this army of unknown origin came from!
Not only Linda, but the entire Senate is now urgently investigating this sudden army. However, the city of Lys was destroyed and people in the surrounding areas have moved away. Now it takes a lot of effort to find someone who understands.
, so the helpless Senate could only bite the bullet and look for these clues.
However, on the other hand, the Senate finally realized the power of the Dragon City Expeditionary Force, so the Senate dispatched the newly formed Knights. This legion, which was given high hopes, would be tasked with biting the tail of the Expeditionary Force.
However, the sudden increase in troops from the other side forced the Senate to bow to the royal family of the Alton Empire and request the emperor to send out the central army!
Emperor Alton had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. As the emperor of an empire, Emperor Andre Alton took advantage of this opportunity to kill the Senate and seize back some important military power and
tax.
In order to maintain the status of the Senate, they urgently needed the Central Army to compete with the huge cavalry regiment of the expeditionary force. From the words of the fleeing soldiers, the desperate power of the charge made every member of the Senate secretly frightened. Cavalry! Must be
There must be cavalry! Therefore, the huge Central Army's more than ten thousand cavalry became the help that the Senate urgently needed. They temporarily gave up some benefits. Once the Dragon City Expeditionary Force was pacified, it would not cost much to deal with a declining royal family. More
What's more, it would be great if the Central Army, which has always been regarded as a thorn in the side of the Senate, can fight with the Expeditionary Army to the detriment of both sides.
Therefore, after a temporary compromise, Alton's most elite Central Army finally embarked on the journey. Their opponent was the recently famous Dragon City Expeditionary Force!
Zhou Yunfei, who was far away in Clare City, was lying on the bed, looking out through the window, "My soldiers, my generals, don't worry, I will never let you fight alone!"
