"Even if I agree with you, what about the others? They won’t just watch us surrender with open eyes." The young officer still wanted to struggle, after all, he hadn’t personally experienced the chaos in the Southern Region of the Suthers Empire.
He would never understand how terrifying His Majesty The Emperor of the Great Tang Empire, who with five hundred n, stirred up the Southern Kingdom, forcing the Suthers Kingdom to cede land and pay reparations, and almost led to its downfall, appeared to these veteran generals of Suthers.
"The others? Hey! You, tell , if and your Commander decide to surrender, would you oppose?" The old General shouted towards the distance, without the slightest hint of reservation.
Hearing the old General’s shout, the guards chatting in the distance seed to have known about this for a long ti, all shook their heads, "We won’t oppose, sir."
Among these people were the personal guards of the young general, and also the staff officers he brought. They were all cooperative, so even showing expressions that this should have happened long ago.
The old General pointed at those officers and guards, "Look behind you, if you agree, everyone will be relieved. If you refuse... they’ll send you off in a dignified manner."
"..." The young general was silent, realizing he had to make a choice today.
"Speak your choice." The old General wasn’t in a hurry, generously giving the other party plenty of ti.
"I... choose... will they really treat my family well?" At the last minute, the young general was still a bit timid, truly afraid that he made the wrong choice, leading to an unbearable heavy price.
The old General firmly answered, "Of course, the Great Tang Empire has never mistreated its friends."
"I choose to surrender." Finally, the young General compromised, instantly becoming extrely dejected, sighed and said, "I will order my troops to surrender according to your arrangent, hoping the Great Tang Empire will treat Suthers’ prisoners well, and also the future inhabitants within the Suthers Empire."
"Don’t worry... you’ll see a better world." The old General patted his shoulder, "Everything has already been arranged."
...
A few days later, when intense battles were still ongoing near Furnace Fortress, two of the three Suthers Empire expeditionary corps stationed in the side mountain areas suddenly surrendered, giving up their defensive positions.
The Dwarf 11th and 12th Corps were caught off guard, encircled by the Tang Army in the northern mountains, while another Suthers corps was defeated, retreating all the way to the Elf Border.
The Great Tang Empire controlled the easily defensible Central Mountain Region of the Ice Cold Empire, and reaching beyond with their influence extending into the Southern Plains of Furnace Fortress.
The vanguard 3rd Armored Army of the Tang 3rd Corps swept across the entire plain, occupying ten cities in ten days, nearly cutting off the entire supply line of Furnace Fortress.
Only at this ti did everyone rember how terrifyingly powerful the intelligence departnt of the Great Tang Empire was. Their inactivity didn’t an they’d remain inactive.
Within the military circles of various countries, there were countless officers associated with the Great Tang Empire. If these people weren’t reliable, the militaries of other countries would have to disband on the spot.
And among the civil ministers of these countries, those who have accepted bribes from the Great Tang Empire, those acting as hidden pieces for the Great Tang Empire, are even more nurous. In so places, even departnts like the police have been penetrated as porous as a sieve.
The internal intelligence, confidential docunts, could be analyzed by the Great Tang Empire’s intelligence departnt faster than they are issued for execution. In such an environnt, the word ’loyalty’ is filled with uncertainties from start to finish.
Now it’s too late to say anything: with a single act of defection by the Great Tang Empire, the frontline situation instantly changed: everything is moving towards the direction everyone least wanted to see.
The Southern region of Furnace Fortress is already indefensible, it will soon be surrounded, and the city cut off from supplies will soon collapse on its own. Its fall is just a matter of ti.
Over a million Dwarf troops may lay down their weapons to accept the result of defeat, and the Allied Forces suddenly lost a powerful nation, shedding more than a million combat troops.
More depressing is a Dornish army battling in Furnace Fortress is also facing the danger of annihilation!
Finally organized, the Laines Empire’s corps, several main corps of elves, and additional reinforcents from Dorne... now all have to gather defensively in the Elf Northern Region.
The whole Dwarf Empire is about to fall, Elf Northern Region will beco a war zone, the Great Tang Empire’s ability to strike deep exceeds other nations by an era, the industrial capability of the Elf Empire is likely to suffer a severe blow.
All these problems need solving, and it’s just the beginning. Distrust is spreading, especially in Suthers and Laines, these two empires, how many "Tang Country spies" are in their organizational structure is unimaginable.
In the event, or very likely that a Suthers Empire troop surrenders, creating a gap in the defense line, the Poplar Empire might disappear overnight.
Worse is, Suthers Empire and Laines Empire, riddled with infiltrations like a sieve, have beco front lines... with what will they stop the advance of the Great Tang Empire?
It’s a joke, if the Tang Army reaches the Northern Ridge, or enters Brunas, the locals might practically welco them with open arms, serving food and drink, the scene absolutely moving and festive.
Therefore, not even having ti to patch up the front-line gaps, Laines Empire and Suthers Empire internally started a round of purges, trying to root out Tang Empire’s undercover agents to prevent similar events from happening again.
anwhile, the supplies originally intended to reinforce the Ice Cold Empire have been completely halted, accumulated near the Elf Northern Border. The corps of the Laines Empire originally preparing to enter the Ice Cold Empire for battle, and Dornish reinforcents, are all still in place.
Letting them abandon the southern region of the Ice Cold Empire is impossible, they will continue to block the Tang Army here. Because the Poplar Empire hopes the war won’t quickly spread to their holand... although Hotwind Port is also the holand, everyone understands their aning.
And both the emperors of Suthers and Laines are nervous, because they know how Tang-aligned their countries truly are. If they really border the Great Tang Empire, their good days would be over.
Therefore, they are determined to pour all efforts in, helping the Poplar Empire win this war!
