God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

"It seems the Han army is quite fast, but in this state, they seem rather ruthless." Kanak looked at the eastern city wall and gate, which was directly slashed by a green blade of light and then collapsed. His originally calm expression became more cautious.

Judging from the momentum and power of this strike, if this blade were to hit him, he would almost certainly be dead.

This means that the opponent is not a master of the same level, and the appearance of such a master means that the Han Empire's army must also be outside the city walls.

"So what should we do now?" Pasa, who could also feel the power of the attack, asked with surprise.

"What else can we do?" Karnak looked at Pasa speechlessly, then patted Pasa on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Of course, we'll send some soldiers to inform the others, explain the current situation, and say that the walls have fallen, the fortress is undefended, and we should evacuate immediately..."

"Emergency retreat?" At this moment, Passa finally realized what was going on and understood the meaning behind those words, as well as the calculations involved.

Taking advantage of the emergency caused by the fall of the fortress, they adopted an emergency evacuation strategy. Under such circumstances, it was natural for them to flee for their lives when disaster struck.

It is impossible to predict who will retreat in which direction.

Every expert can retreat in any direction, but the most likely option is naturally to retreat to the mountains on the north and south flanks.

As masters who can separate their internal energy from their bodies, it is impossible for them to starve to death in the wild forests, nor is it possible for them to be caught up by ordinary armies in the mountains. Since the Han Empire has few masters, it is impossible for them to be sent out alone to pursue them. Therefore, this method naturally has the highest survival rate.

If everyone chooses this method, then which direction to retreat in or which people retreat together will not be a concern for everyone.

With no one paying attention, they could naturally take Hraleh to the Wenga region through similar methods and channels, hand him over to Commander Rahul, and then the mission would be complete.

“But what if they suggest advancing towards the fortress in the rear? Wouldn’t our plan have failed?” Pasa instantly realized the problem with the plan and voiced it.

"Then why not just let the fortresses behind us fall as well?" A cruel glint appeared on Karnak's lips as he said without hesitation, "The soldiers fleeing from this fortress are heading west. Under such circumstances, wouldn't the Han army be able to threaten the fortresses behind us?"

If it can threaten the fortress behind, is the fortress behind still safe?

In unsafe circumstances, wouldn't it be safer to travel in the north or south?

The dead are dead, but the noble ones are those whose inner energy has left their bodies, the representatives of the gods on earth. How can they be treated the same as ordinary commoners?

“In that case, it might cause continuous turmoil, and the loss of fortresses might not be just one or two.” Pasa frowned slightly, while pointing out the most peculiar point of this matter, “And after our fortress falls, how will the commander Shanta Nu, who has already left, return?”

This situation, essentially tantamount to betraying comrades, left Pasa with some inner turmoil. Regardless, the infighting and competition at the top, involving so many people, was ultimately not a good thing. "Come back?" Kanak scoffed, his tone icy. "Those who kneel down are not worthy of being compared to us. Following those pedantic fools will only lead to destruction. Since destruction is inevitable, what difference does it make whether we die sooner or later? Besides, in the current situation, dying at the hands of the Han army might even be an honor and a mercy."

Upon hearing this, Pasa fell silent instantly.

Dying at the hands of the Han army is considered both an honor and a mercy.

Is there anything wrong with this statement?
Absolutely no problem, especially when it comes to the aspect of power struggles at the top, it seems particularly correct.

Countless comrades and colleagues have died in the power struggles at the top and in the schemes of the Brahmins.

Some seemingly insignificant tasks and arrangements often harbor deadly risks.

Although it was all treated as an accident on the surface, Passa knew better than anyone else that as the commander of a legion, and a highly capable one at that, how could it be called an accident when more than thirty of his elite members had died unexpectedly in less than ten years?
It was clearly a precise removal achieved through extremely accurate methods and unwavering determination.

It is at this cost that, regardless of what Pasa thinks in his heart, he has long since had no other choice in reality.

Following Rahul offers a glimmer of hope, while retreating and kneeling will likely result in a fate worse than death.

For those Brahmins, weakness and manipulability are the only acceptable forms of existence.

It is simpler and more decisive to destroy the uncontrollable force that possesses resistance than to forcibly possess it.

“All great achievements require sacrifice, and it is acceptable to sacrifice anyone.” Karnak once again warned Pasa, looking back at the fortress, and said calmly, “There are 11,700 soldiers in the fortress. As long as the plan can be completed, then it will all be worth it.”

"Understood, I'll have a messenger deliver the message right away, but what about Hararih's side?" Pasa glanced back at the fortress capital, his brows furrowing again.

“I’ve already replaced Harald. He’s been operating in this place for so long, digging a simple tunnel shouldn’t be a problem.” Karnak pointed in a direction and then said calmly, “Let’s go. Hand this place over to the Han Empire’s army.”

"To hand over to the Han Empire's army?" Pasa glanced at the Han army rushing in from the city gate, looking at the fully armed and imposing troops, and couldn't help but sigh, "This time we leave, I don't know when we'll be able to return."

“As long as Commander Rahul completes the plan, we will only become stronger. Even the Han Empire's army cannot be stronger than us. When that time comes, it will be as easy as turning our hands to return.” Karnak’s words revealed an absolute confidence.

This confidence stems from Rahul, and is also determined by the logistical foundations of both sides.

Clearly, their greater proximity and easier logistical support give them a significant advantage. (End of Chapter)
