Due to years of war, Wansheng Kingdom lost a lot of talented people.
Luhuajun and Dongmu were not generals at the beginning. They were just generals who led them to attack. They were either killed in the battle or captured, which allowed them to succeed in taking power.
Marco was also one of the beneficiaries.
He was just an ordinary soldier in Ajiket's army. He wanted to repay his country with his own hands and become a man like Ajiket one day.
With the outbreak of brutal wars, the powerful Marco achieved impressive results and his military rank rose unknowingly.
When he came to his senses, he had become a general.
Unfortunately, Marco, who is in a high position, increasingly feels the mismatch between his abilities and position.
He always tried to act like a general and command the troops like Akiket.
But the more he thought about this, the more he felt the gap between himself and Ajiket.
Hearing Yang Yu's reminder, Marco bit his lower lip tightly, clenched the broth in his hand, and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably.
It was such a simple thing, yet he forgot it so easily.
Because of worshiping Akikot, he forgot his own job.
Yang Yu smiled at Marco.
“The reason why General Marco was able to become a general must be that he was favored by countless important figures.
The general is still young and has a lot of room for growth. They look forward to your growth and hope that you can become a general who can stand on your own.
There must be countless people who admire you, General.
Just like me.
However, when I say aspiration, I just want to climb to the position of general.
By then, we who are of similar age will be rivals.
General, don't fall from that position."
Yang Yu took the first step to reserve the seat of the villain's rival in advance.
Marco was left alone in the cold wind, trying to sort out his thoughts.
After eating and organizing the troops to rest, Yang Yu returned to his tent to confirm the results of today's battle.
The effect of using the enemy's armor to fight is quite good, when soldiers wearing Rose's armor mixed into Rose's troops.
When many of Rose's soldiers attacked, they hesitated for a moment when they saw the orcs who looked like friendly forces at first glance.
Even though it’s only a few seconds, these few seconds can often determine who dies first.
This is also why the losses on the Wansheng Kingdom's side were far less than expected.
Open the [Emergency Assistance] task and you can see the current number of people progress below.
If any casualties occur among the rescued personnel before all other orc troops are assisted, this will be displayed on the system.
At present, including Ajiket's troops and the aid forces of the Fifth Western Army, more than 30,000 Central Recapture Army troops have been rescued, which is only more than 10,000 short of 50,000.
As for experience, Yang Yu also upgraded from LV84 before the war to LV87. The upgrade speed was extremely fast, it was like riding a rocket.
With only a little over a month left before Spring comes, I should be able to successfully reach level 90. After that, I can collect warm fire stones from the striped geckos and refine small sugar cubes to further increase my level.
In the team, Bai Jin upgraded the fastest. Before she knew it, she had become the first person to break through level 90.

As his level increased, Bai Jin finally broke through 2,000 in intelligence, and it only took one attack magic to knock down an ordinary soldier.
Unfortunately, the Rose Empire also has magicians who can use a skill called [Magic Resistance] to greatly reduce the power of approaching magic.
A soldier that could be knocked down with one shot might require two or three skills to knock down.
It's a pity that I'm just a warrior, not a real assassin.
The opponent's defense was tight and there was no way to break through the back row, otherwise Bai Jin and Yias would have been able to mow down the opponent without any help.
When Yang Yu was about to pack up and go to sleep, the voice of the guards came from outside the tent.
"General Potato, there is a troop approaching us. General Dongmu asked me to notify you."
"Is this the reinforcement force that the other party contacted?"
"No, it seems to be a lone orc troop that came looking for us on their own initiative."
"Yeah."
They actually came here on their own initiative. The orc troops shouldn't just sit there and wait to die.
It is estimated that the orcs with a keen sense of smell smelled their tracks and found this place, but other possibilities cannot be ruled out.
Yang Yu, who was just about to take a rest, immediately jumped out of the tent and followed other officers to meet up with Ajiket and Dongmu to welcome the arrival of the team.
In the vast snow, there was a lion-eared young man riding a tall bear-shaped monster, leading his troops step by step, approaching Yang Yu and his group's camp.
In the light of the fire, Yang Yu could see a skinny middle-aged human male with his hands tied, being led by a long rope by the man on the bear's back, staggering forward in the snow.
The human male was dressed in white mink, and he kept his head down and said nothing.
When he arrived at the real camp, he slowly raised his head. Blackness spread around his deep eye sockets, and his cheeks were as pale as snow, as if he could be frozen by the cold at any time. But he had a pair of fiery eyes, piercing and bright, as if reflecting the firelight around the camp.
"The Second Eastern Army aid force is coming to assist."
Leaping down from the monster bear, the blood lion Wanluo announced his name.
Yang Yu could see unprecedented excitement on his face, as if he had already seen his bright future.
When Yang Yu saw this man, it didn't take him long to remember that he was the man who intended to pursue Xin Mang but ended up getting engaged.
"The Second Eastern Army." Not to mention Dongmu, even the general who guards the country was a little surprised. "Why send troops on an expedition when it's so far away?"
"After hearing that the Central Army had failed in Benliang City, the First and Second Eastern Armies immediately decided to give up the capture of some cities and dispatched some personnel to assist the Central Army in retaking the city. Originally, our search and rescue target was the area east of Benliang City."
Wan Luo explained,
"But considering that the Western Fifth Army has a high wall, it is difficult to reach the western area for search, so we were sent over to assist."
"So that's how it is." Akiket nodded, and then immediately asked about the news about the missing team in the east. "Before you officially take action, I want to know how many people have been rescued in the east."
"By the time I left, we had gathered about 50,000 people. I understand that we have almost reached the limit. My superior asked me to convey this to him."
Wan Luo paused.
"'If you want to capture Benliang City, you need to gather enough people within a certain period of time. At least one hundred thousand people from the central army must survive. Only then can you have the confidence to recapture Dongwang City.' Of course, whether to fight in the end still depends on the general."
