Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 1723 1724 The War That Year

In the central mountainous area, the coalition forces that had finally managed to stabilize their position were ruthlessly spreading pessimism about defeat. Everyone knew that they had lost, and they had retreated here in one breath from more than 100 kilometers away from Saint Luo.

On the defensive position of the Susas Empire, two generals were walking side by side. They were the commanders of these troops and they came here to inspect the front-line positions.

They built a defense line relying on the mountains. Although it looked shaky, due to the mountainous environment, the actual defense pressure was not that great.

As long as they guard the several passages in the mountains, they can block the Tang army's attack and cover the rear of the entire Ironforge.

The old general walking in front had gray hair. He was a veteran of the Susas Empire and had held an important position in the army twenty years ago.

As he walked, he said to the young general who was a step behind: "Our situation is already very passive. If we continue to fight, we need to consider how to obtain supplies for the troops..."

"The transportation capacity has reached its limit. A large amount of supplies are being transported to Ironforge. Our side doesn't seem to be that important." The young general sighed and talked about these issues helplessly.

The old general sneered: "Not important?"

"Or, relatively speaking, it is 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 we lose this place, the Tang army may be able to cut across from the flank 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 was breached, they would be left with nowhere to defend. The Tang Army armored forces could easily sweep across the rest of the Ice Empire if they entered the plains south of Ironforge.

The young generals were still very confident in continuing to fight in the mountainous areas. They were all lightly armed troops and had a natural advantage 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. We still have a certain chance of winning."

Today, the other side invited him to inspect the position. After he came, the things they talked about seemed to be filled with pessimism. This made the young general very unhappy, thinking that the old general had been scared out of his wits by the Tang army.

The other party remained silent, which inevitably made the young general even more irritated. He suddenly caught a glimpse and saw that the old general was wearing a ring carved with a dandelion on his finger.

He had seen this thing before. It seemed that many of the staff officers and pilots who went to study in the Tang Empire carried this thing to prove their "student status".

But the old general in front of him didn't seem to have been to the Tang Empire. Seeing the other party's puzzled look, the old general rubbed the ring on his finger without caring, and introduced it generously: "Are you interested in this? It... should be said to be a proof of identity. I dared to wear it today. It's beautiful, isn't it?" Seeing the panic in the eyes of the young general, the old general smiled and continued: "Twenty years ago... there was a man who led 500 people to kill into the Kingdom of Susas, stirring up the storm and killing many people... I'm old, and I really don't want to see such a scene again."

The young general smiled awkwardly and tried to appease him, "Why do you say that, old general... Even if the front line has collapsed now, it is still within the Ice Empire. It is not the turn of the Susas Empire to suffer, right?"

While comforting him, he glanced at his entourage, hoping that the guards and adjutants he brought with him would realize that the current situation was extremely dangerous.

The old general here didn't care about his actions at all, and just kept talking to himself: "You were in the northern part of the kingdom at that time, and you only heard of that man's name. I am the one who really experienced it all... Believe me, from that time on, I knew that the Susas Empire would always have to survive under the shadow of that man."

"It's not that serious..." the young general replied awkwardly. He really wanted to call for the guards, but the guards of both teams were standing together. Even if a fight broke out, it seemed that the home team, which had been prepared, would have the advantage.

"Take a look at this letter." The old general pulled 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 nervously.

"Silver Fox gave you a letter of persuasion to surrender." The old general replied: "The Tang Empire guarantees the safety of your entire family. As long as you are willing to lead your troops to surrender, the people of Susas can be forgiven."

"You...you are from the Tang Empire?" Hearing this, the young general finally confirmed that the other party had sided with their enemy.

The old general forced an awkward smile and said, "I owed you a favor at that time, and now it's time to repay it."

At that time, he was defeated by Tang Mo, and later the Silver Fox found him... What happened afterwards was a matter of course, and he had long since become a chess piece placed by the Silver Fox in the territory of the Susas Empire.

Going south from the Ice Empire, across 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 Yucheng and Bunas areas controlled by the Lions Empire, the penetration of the Datang Group is comparable to mercury pouring out of the ground.

If you think that the Tang Empire has little influence in these places, you are really too naive. In fact, in many places, the intelligence system of the Tang Empire is greater than the power of the local city lord.

This is the true strength of the Tang Empire. Those who think that the coalition forces are united are crazy.

"Damn it... You know, our families are still here..." The young general was so panicked that sweat oozed from his forehead. Susas I did not completely trust them. The families of these generals who led the troops on the front line were actually detained in the imperial capital.

The old general smiled, because he knew that with the power of the Tang Empire, everything would be ready when they activated him. So he said calmly, "Believe me, they are already in the Western Continent. Why do you think I only revealed my identity today? It's because the Tang Empire has made all the preparations. You, me...are just pawns whose fates have long been determined by others."
