"Well, that's good, that's good..."
When Victoria finished speaking, Elena breathed a sigh of relief.
Today is almost half a month away from the departure of the four main legions. During this half month, she has really been under tremendous pressure. Now, she can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Teacher, I actually have a question I want to ask you."
Victoria looked at Elena's expression and asked hesitantly.
"After reading the battle plan and the course of the battle, you must be curious about why Captain Kyle and his men dared to use this battle plan and ultimately succeeded."
Before Victoria could even ask her question, Elina waved the battle report in her hand and spoke for her.
After hearing what Elina said, Victoria nodded in surprise and said:
"Yes, that's right. I just read the report from Corps Commander Kyle and others. Their battle plan is no longer a risk, but a gamble. Infiltrating so close to the enemy's defense zone, not to mention whether our soldiers can hold on under the huge pressure from the enemy, they have dispersed the team like this. Aren't they worried that once the morale of the troops is unstable, the team will be directly disbanded?"
"Moreover, most importantly, in the absence of a commander, aren't they worried about the command of the army? If the troops lose control, it will be very fatal."
Victoria was very puzzled. This behavior of breaking up a large force into small pieces and infiltrating them was simply suicide in the human army.
Because except for a very small number of elite troops, once the army is dispersed, it will really disappear and there is no way to regroup, especially in this situation where a major war is about to begin.
"Victoria, what does the army of the Elek Empire rely on to attract soldiers to fight?"
After hearing Victoria's question, Alina did not answer her, but asked a question in return.
"Money and power gained through military merit."
Faced with Elena's question, Victoria gave a direct answer without any hesitation. She felt that there was nothing wrong with it, because this was not only the military mechanism of the human race, but also the same for other races including the Eternal Night.
"Yes, military merit can be exchanged for money and power, but neither of these means anything compared to life."
"You can earn money if you lose it, and you can continue to work hard if you lose power. As long as you are alive, you will always have the opportunity to earn it back. But if you lose your life, you will lose everything. So once your soldiers encounter a situation that threatens their lives, they will choose to escape without hesitation."
Elina spoke up.
"But is there anything more important than life?"
After hearing what Elina said, Victoria became even more confused.
"Yes, Victoria, there are many things in this world that are more important than life, one of which is ideals, or beliefs."
Elena looked at Victoria with a gentle look in her eyes. She knew that this girl might not quite understand this now, but Elena believed that she would soon be able to discover the fundamental gap between the army of Yas City and other armies.

Chapter 75 Your opponents are different from before
"This kind of faith is not the vague faith of the Divine Court Church among humans. This kind of faith is the vision of the people of Yas City for a better future and their expectation for a better life. It is visible and tangible, so those warriors are willing to give everything for this faith and this ideal."
"Ideals, beliefs?"
Victoria frowned slightly. In her opinion, the most precious thing in a person's life is life. Life is the foundation of everything. If even life is gone, then everything else is in vain.
"That's right. The soldiers in Yas City have experienced the days of being insecure and hungry. They know what it feels like. Now that they have experienced the free and happy life in Yas City, do you think they would be willing to go back to the past? Would they let their descendants suffer the same hardships they experienced before? No."
Elina said with a smile as she carefully put away the battle report as if she was collecting a treasure.
"Even if it costs them their lives?" Victoria asked.
"Even at the cost of life."
Elina nodded affirmatively.
"Victoria, in this world, no matter who is attracted by money or power, they will inevitably betray because of higher money or greater power. But people who gather together because of ideals will not. This is a very magical thing. For this, their will can even surpass steel, not to mention completing a roundabout mission of infiltration."
Elina sighed. Victoria might not understand, but she knew very well that this was actually the fundamental difference between the modern military structure and the feudal military structure.
One that is based mainly on ideals and beliefs, with rewards as an auxiliary means.
This kind of army fights for themselves and their families.
The other is established through collusion between money and power.
This kind of army fights for a certain leader or a certain monarch.
If these two armies meet on the battlefield, the winner will be obvious.
When the legion of Yas City was founded, Elina had already left them the spark of their ideals.
In fact, this fire does not need Elina to guide it specifically, because most of the warriors in Yas City have experienced that kind of hardship, and they will naturally understand how they should spend their lives and who they should fight for.
They may not be well-educated or have insufficient cultural level, but in terms of fighting will, they are absolutely top-notch.
This is something that no army on this continent can match so far.
"Teacher Elina, I seem to understand a little bit, but I don't fully understand it. Maybe I have to pay more attention to this aspect in the future."
After listening to Elina's explanation, Victoria nodded, still not quite understanding.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. You will know it later."
Elina smiled and rubbed Victoria's head, and said softly:
"You asked me before why Captain Kyle and his men dared to do this. It's because they have understood the soul of the army. They know that the soldiers below are not fighting for the four captains, but for themselves. When they become their own masters, they will exert their enthusiasm to the highest level. Even without the command of their superiors, the soldiers can still command themselves."
"The reason why Yongye was defeated so miserably this time is because they misjudged Yas City and its army."
As she spoke, Elena walked to the window and opened the tightly closed window.
For a moment, the cool evening breeze blowing in from the window made Elina much more sober.
At this moment, above the city of Yas, a number of transport ships were slowly sailing away into the distance. It was obvious that they were heading towards the Thirteenth War Zone.
Because the transport ships had been prepared long ago, they could rush to the front line as soon as possible.
Not only can they transport various equipment and food, but they can also transport some seriously injured soldiers to the rear for more formal treatment.
Soon after, various combat warships will rush to the front line to prevent air retaliation from the Eternal Night.
It has to be said that the support of these five fully-staffed fleets is extremely critical.
Without the support of air power, it is hard to imagine how far Yas City can go in this war.
"Wish ya'll good luck."
Looking at the ships slowly passing through the sky in the night, Elina's mouth curled up slightly.
"Okay, Victoria, you've been exhausted these past few days. Go back and rest first. You'll have half a day off tomorrow morning, but you still have a lot of things to deal with in the afternoon."
Having said that, Elina turned around and motioned for Victoria to go back and rest.
"Okay, teacher, I'll be leaving first."
Victoria didn't insist, just nodded and left.
She was indeed very tired during this period.
That night, Elena slept very soundly and soundly until dawn.
The next day, the entire city of Yas held a grand celebration because of the great achievements made on the front line. For a time, the entire city of Yas was immersed in a sea of joy.
Some people are happy, while others are naturally sad.
For example, the current Eternal Night Conference is filled with gloom and sadness.
"Everyone, now you should have a clear understanding of your opponents."
At the Eternal Night Conference, Neven attended the meeting very rarely.
This time no Dark Emperor dared to be absent, and they all sat obediently in their seats.
Naven’s voice was icy cold, causing cold sweat to appear on the backs of some newly promoted Dark Emperors.
It didn't take long for the news of the defeat at the front to reach them. They acted very quickly and immediately ordered several dark legions around them to advance towards the 13th War Zone. At the same time, they sent out a prince-class fleet to participate in this offensive.
However, they did not expect that the enemy was much faster than them. By the time their army arrived, the enemy had already established a defense system, and even the fleet in the air was on high alert.
If they launch an attack at this time, the enemy will use the favorable terrain to inflict huge damage on them.
In desperation, Yongye had to swallow the bitter pill and admit defeat in the first game.
This defeat made Naven very angry.
She had reminded those guys countless times that the enemy this time was different from the past. She had lived in Yas City and knew very well how terrifying the army of Yas City was.
But those guys didn't listen at all. They nodded and said they would pay attention, but they turned around and forgot what they said.
This time, Yongye’s defeat can be said to be entirely due to arrogance.
"I hope that next time, I won't hear similar news again."
Naven’s fingers tapped lightly on the table, bringing a great pressure to all the dark emperors.
For a moment, all the dark emperors present looked at each other, and at this moment, one could clearly see the solemnity in their eyes.
After this defeat, they finally understood everything.
The city of Yas is really strong, much stronger than they expected.
It seems that this battle needs to be fought seriously.
Chapter 76 Reactions from all parties
The victory of Yas City surprised all races on the continent.
Even Duncan found it a little unbelievable.
Although he supported Elina's actions, he did not expect that the first battle in Yas City would be fought so beautifully.
As he expected, if Elena did not take action personally, it would be very good for the alliance of Yas City and Dragon Island to confront Eternal Night outside the domain.
The best case scenario for the first battle is that with the advantage of distance, the two sides will have a close contest, and eventually after a year or two of tug-of-war, the territory of Yas City can be expanded to about ten war zones.
It is unrealistic to completely drive the Eternal Night forces out of the domain.
After all, as the overlord who has dominated this continent for three eras, Yongye’s foundation and accumulation are incomparable to Yas City.
Even with the assistance of Dragon Island, in some aspects, Yas City is still inferior to Eternal Night.
But unexpectedly, in this first battle, Yas City achieved such an amazing result.
Conquering five war zones at once and eliminating five dark dukes would be considered a great victory in any battle of this scale.
Not to mention that this battle completely opened the gateway to Yas City, and from a strategic point of view it was a complete victory.
This battle is destined to become a classic battle in history.
Perhaps, I have underestimated the entire city of Yas. Perhaps, the outside world can really end the constant war.
Duncan looked in the direction of Yas City and couldn't help but smile.
"Your Majesty, this is the latest report of the war outside the domain."
At the same time, Philip in the royal city of Tara also received battle reports from outside the domain.
"Are the results of the battles above all true? There is no exaggeration or fabrication at all?"
Looking at the battle report in his hand, Philip suddenly didn't know what to say.
Is he crazy, or is the world crazy?
Even among the human race, this kind of victory is worth celebrating for three days and three nights and granting amnesty to the world.
At this moment, no famous general among the human race has ever had such a brilliant record. How did Yas City do it?
Philip was very curious.
"Your Majesty, this battle report is genuine. Our intelligence personnel have verified it from multiple sources and confirmed that it is correct. Moreover, among the four legion commanders in Yas City, there is one who may be of interest to you."
As he spoke, Sebel pointed out the name of a person on the battle report.
Philip looked closely and found that it was Bethhild, the famous general who had achieved many brilliant results in the great battle that year.
"Bethhild actually went to Yas City?!"
Philip couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in his flesh. This was a real famous general, and yet he ran to the other side.
"Your Majesty, I don't think you are unaware of why General Bethhild went to Yas City."
Sebel's voice was a little cold. It seemed that some of the nobles' recent actions had angered him.
"I knew that the generals in the army had been ostracizing Bethhild because of his background, but I didn't expect it to be so serious. At the time, we had to win over the nobles, so we had to put Bethhild in a difficult position for the time being. I had planned to hand over the most elite Griffin Knights to him after that period of time, but I didn't expect that he would leave the Alek Empire in anger."
