Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 1723 The war in 1724

 In the central mountainous area, the pessimism of defeat is spreading ruthlessly among the coalition troops who have finally stabilized their position. Everyone knew that they lost. They retreated here 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 has gray hair. He is a veteran general of the Susus Empire and has 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 has been 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: "Isn't it important?"

"Or, 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 the defense line they are currently on is breached, then they will have no chance of defending. The armored troops of the Tang Army marched into the plain area south of Ironforge and could easily sweep across the rest of the Ice Empire.

Young generals are still very confident in continuing to fight in mountainous areas. They are all lightly armed troops and have natural advantages in fighting in 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 things discussed by both parties seemed to be filled with pessimism. This made the young general very unhappy. He felt 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 has seen this thing before. It seems that many of the staff officers and pilots who studied abroad in the Tang Empire carry this kind of thing 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 gaze of the other party, the old general rubbed the ring on his finger nonchalantly, and introduced it openly: "Interested in this? It... should be said to be a proof of identity. I just got it today. Dare to wear it, isn't it beautiful?" The panic was seen in the young general's eyes, and the old general smiled and continued: "Twenty years ago... there was a man who led five hundred people into the city. He invaded the Kingdom of Sussus, stirred up troubles, and killed hundreds of people...I am old and really don’t want to see such a scene again.”

The young general smiled awkwardly and said comforting words: "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 Sussus 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... I believe it. From that moment on, I knew that the Susus Empire could only survive in that man’s shadow.”

"How can it be so serious..." The young general added awkwardly. He really wanted to call out for the guards now, but the guards of the two people were standing together. Even if there was a fight, it seemed that it would be a well-prepared home field. The team has more advantages.

“Let’s 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 with some anxiety.

"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 your troops to surrender, the people of Sussus 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 out 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 Silver Fox found him... and things happened naturally. He had long become a **** placed by 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 Datang Group. In the Beiling area controlled by Susas, as well as the Yucheng and Bunas areas controlled by the Lions Empire, the penetration power of the Datang Group is comparable to the mercury field.

It would be too naive to think that the Tang Empire had little influence in these places. In fact, in many places, the Tang Empire's intelligence system was more powerful than the local city lords.

This is the real strength of the Tang Empire. Those who think that the coalition is 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. Susus I did not completely trust them. The families of these generals who led troops on the front line 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 was very calm and said unhurriedly: "Believe me, they are already in the Western Continent. Do you think, why did I reveal my identity today? It's because the Tang Empire has made all preparations. You , I...are just a **** whose fate has been determined long ago.”
