Throne Steps

It wasn't long before Li Chen received the letter from Southwest, and before he had time to confirm how to respond, new news finally came from outside Beidi.

Cervantes' advance troops were fine, and Saenz led the troops there, but they failed twice in a row when arranging the supply route.Moreover, due to the disastrous failure the second time, the vagrant tribe of Jiehu almost chased all the way to the border, which led to a temporary interruption of overseas intelligence.

But now, the transmission of the news finally found a way to get through, but the dilemma is still there.

Because of the failure of the first two material deliveries, not only did the troops stationed in the ancient city have a shortage of supplies, but it also caused a dilemma for the border and ancient city troops to fight bilaterally.In order to re-open the material route, clear the road from the ancient city to the border, and to regroup the combat forces, Saenz must find a way to coordinate the teams of the two sides to cooperate in the battle.

At this level, people who are not in the army basically can't help much, let alone the black swan who doesn't even have the formal organization of Saenz.All Li Chen can do is to ask Amoya about the operation of the Chamber of Commerce in the Northland from time to time, and then wait for the news shared by Xiao En.

At this time, unrest in the southwest also began to break out.

As Harder expected, Rose Color, as the igniter of the turmoil, did not want to miss this good window.They probably really wanted to copy the second Northland, but some deviations occurred in the result.For example, the political situation in the Southwest is as unstable as in the North, but the North is a problem caused by the official system, but the Southwest is a contradiction brought about by the autonomy of the Free Army; An unstable command authority cannot deal with multiple riots at the same time, but the Southwest lacks combat effectiveness due to disarmament and the rapid update of officers.

In addition, the Southwest's economy has not collapsed, or the lives of the people have not been greatly affected.The economy in the southwestern border is underdeveloped, the grid is sparse, and there are relatively few cases where the whole body is affected.In addition, the main cause of the turmoil in the Southwest is the Freedom Army, and the Freedom Army doesn't harass the lives of ordinary people very much. This has caused riots in the Southwest, but it is far from the point where the people in the Northland are struggling to live.

If there is no people living in poverty, there can be no petition of the people; if the lives of the people do not collapse, there is no need to rebuild the economic and cultural structure.In general, the turmoil in the Southwest is the real "fight and finish".As long as the Southwest Garrison defeats the Freedom Army, everything will return to normal.

But how could it be so smooth?

The color of rose has sufficient background in the southwestern garrison, even if it no longer has an absolute right to speak, it can still slightly influence the movement of the army.Under the operation of Rose Color, the Southwest Garrison did not complete the "one-hit kill" against the Freedom Army. Instead, because the opponent became more and more courageous, it showed a sense of depression for long-term preparations.

The color of the rose thinks so. Every time they fight, some nails inserted by the royal family into the southwest garrison will be worn away. When the royal family's control over the southwest garrison weakens and the strength of the troops will also drop, the size of the free army will naturally increase.After the royal family was unable to control the situation of the Free Army, it must only use the reserve army, recruit again, and demobilize the officers and soldiers who had been laid off.Where did these people come from, a mercenary group controlled by Rose Color!In order to facilitate management, the royal family may even unite these mercenary groups on a large scale first, which will make it easier for Rose Color to interfere.

Yet again, it won't go so smoothly.

The turmoil broke out, the southwest garrison suppressed it, and the free army resisted. Seeing that a stalemate was about to begin, the mercenary group came out ahead of schedule.

The mercenary union suddenly sent out an official document, the general idea is as follows: The assassin group that has become active recently is hidden in the Free Army, please the major mercenary groups to deal with this matter first!

The mercenary group controlled by the color of rose is preparing to watch the show: ... Huh?

The free army who doesn't even know what the recently active killer group has done: ... What? ? ?

Sophistry is useless, and there is nowhere to redress grievances. Relying on such fabricated news, the first female mercenary group of the Raetia Alliance——Iron Qiangwei, rushed to the southwest in a hurry.

The color of rose knew at a glance that they were here for bad things.Look who is leading the team?A fiery rose who has just been seriously injured and is still recovering, and a ruby ​​who is said to be the most likely to marry Saenz but failed to marry, it is simply the color of silver pearls who unabashedly reach out to disrupt the situation!

However, the mercenary groups—especially the mercenary groups controlled by Rose Color—had to act again.

"Wait, I don't agree!" A mercenary regiment leader responded with a frown.He had officially retired from the Southwest Garrison before. Although the layoffs were after his retirement, he still had a certain affection for the Southwest Garrison, so he wanted to join other mercenary groups of retired soldiers who were also laid off by the Southwest Garrison.

"Although the bounty on this official document is very attractive, the other mercenary groups have not moved, maybe there is something wrong with it. We can't be so impulsive."

"Impulsive?" Harder looked at his regiment leader, and did not explain the so-called "problem", but said, "Iron Qiangwei has a new deputy captain, do you know? Wait until the other mercenary regiments know about her." Come, look at them moving."

The head of the group didn't know much about the nobles' twists and turns. He looked at his deputy head and asked in confusion, "... who's here?"

Hader smiled silently: "The pearl of pure white color——Lai Lier."

Yes, Lailier is here, as Iron Rose's deputy head.

Li Chen was also stunned when he received the news: "Lai Lier?! What's going on, is she in the rebellious period or even the owner of the pure white color has lost control?"

Both Fudexi and Akye were there, but as always, only Fudexi replied: "I think she couldn't swallow that breath, she should have erupted a long time ago."

What Fudexi said is correct. Although the pure white color is famous for its purity and kindness, they are not the real saints.Lily was insulted on that level, and there was always time to make it up.

but now?

Li Chen threw the news that Lailier was stationed in Iron Rose and went to the southwest on the table, pondered for a moment, and said: "Perhaps... this also represents the attitude of the Patriarch of Pure White."

Fudexi raised his eyebrows and said, "Your conspiracy theory has flared up again? This may just be a simple revenge story."

"But we all know that the killer group that attacked Lailier, Iron Rose, and Black Swan is not in the Free Army, but Lailier went there for this reason." Li Chen asked, "Now, do you still think this Is it a pure revenge story?"

Fudexi was silent for two seconds: "Then how should I feel?"

"Lairier was supposed to stay with the Patriarch, but she went out; nominally for the Killer Group, but the Killer Group wasn't there at all; at the same time, she is now in Iron Rose, and Iron Rose is disrupting...'some people' plans." Li Chen said, "So, how do you feel now?"

Fu Dexi raised his chin and looked at him: "Don't use the guiding method on me anymore, I don't like class."

"Well, I thought you liked this kind of puzzle-solving dialogue." Li Chen said, "In short, the Patriarch allowed his own daughter to disturb you, don't you think..."

Furdhi continued: "He has a problem with 'certain people'?"

Li Chen spread his hands: "Hmm. The color of rose is indeed a bit too much, no matter for the royal family or the color of pure white."

Trying to control the southwestern garrison is an annoying thing for the current master of the world and the top eternal color who wants to aspire to the world.Two male lions were about to fight, but a jackal was majesticly trying to occupy the food under their noses. Of course it was possible to think about it, and it had to be chopped off with its claws.

It has to be said that when Pure White allowed the new Minister of Military Affairs to be so superior, and allowed him and the royal family to regulate the army like this, it might not have meant that the rose color faded from the southwest garrison.

"Oh, do I have to congratulate you in advance?" said Fordhi. "I remember 'somebody' was with his own son."

"Personally, I think it might be possible." Li Chen smiled slightly, "After all, his biological daughter is going to disturb his biological son's greatest reliance, isn't it?"

Hader guessed right again.

Because of Lairelle's appearance, the mercenary group had to join the chaotic battle ahead of time.No mercenary group would turn a blind eye to the pure white pearl, especially this pearl who had lost her talent due to the attack of the killer group. She was coming for revenge, so there was no reason why people should not help her.

Even if she and Tie Qiangwei came to disrupt the situation more than revenge, Rose Color couldn't just leave her alone.After all, disputes are all behind the scenes, and no one would be so stupid as to tear their faces apart.Even black swans understand the truth, the color of roses will not only show innocence.

Brown had received Li Chen's instructions in advance, and when the mercenary group swarmed up, he did not let anyone resist, but commanded them to back down.The Freedom Army was originally composed of nearly ten large and small groups. Once it started to disperse, the strength of the mercenary group also began to disperse, and it was difficult to determine the target even for the attack of the Southwest Garrison.

It is estimated that this kind of situation is also the beginning of a long-term stalemate.

However, this is still different from the stalemate in the North.In the stalemate in the north, the Northland army is fully output, Saenz has a clear goal and can control the overall situation, but because the battle situation is complicated and fierce, it is difficult to continue advancing for a while; while in the stalemate in the southwest, the Free Army and the Southwest Garrison In the three-party melee with the mercenary group, the main target of the attack is the free army, which is still scattered and slippery. If this continues, it will only become more and more difficult for the southwest garrison and the mercenary group to cohere.

"What are you thinking?" The head of the air brigade group looked at the young collaborator, "If this continues, the autonomous region will disappear immediately."

Brown was rarely careless: "disappear...just disappear."

"What do you mean by 'Freedom Army'?" The head of the air brigade squinted his eyes. "If you have this attitude, why did you find so many people to form an alliance?"

"Then what's your attitude, Commander?" Brown replied, "Isn't it your responsibility that the 'Freedom Army' is in this situation? After all, the Air Brigade has the largest number of all allies."

The head of the air brigade actually smiled: "I just wanted to make this place more chaotic. The 'Freedom Army' can cause them to have such a big reaction, why not do it?"

Brown replied: "Then I can only say, different routes lead to the same goal."

The head of the group squinted at him: "What you said at the beginning was to avenge your father..."

Brown laughed and said, "Isn't it also a kind of revenge to toss those guys to the point of breaking the army's morale?"
