The entire silent scene lasted for no less than 5 minutes. As the dust stirred up by the fighting spirit slowly fell, Sterling, who was the strongest but the most embarrassed in this fight, came to his senses first and stared at Yiya curiously.

"Yiya, since we can't reach an agreement, let's just leave! So as not to offend others..." After seeing Sterling's reaction, I knew that Feng Ya could no longer cause any harm to me, so I pulled Yiya over and prepared to leave.

In front of Sterling and Feng Ya, I signaled Victor to summon the flying ship, handed a letter to Sterling, and then said to him, "Tomorrow morning at 4 o'clock!" Then I flew into the dark night sky.

"Sir, do you think Sterling will cooperate with us in the battle?" As soon as we arrived on the flying ship, Victor couldn't wait to ask me a question that I couldn't answer.

"I don't know either... But if they don't cooperate with me in the battle, then there will be no point for them to stay in Kamikaze City..." Having said that, I couldn't help but let out a cruel smile.

*************************************************** *****************************

Just as I was evacuating to the Iron Fortress on a flying ship, Sterling and others, who had been staying there for a while, also came to the military tent under Sterling's command.

"Marshal, do you still believe in that guy named Shen? But in fact, not to mention that the Kingdom of Yann doesn't have many troops nearby, even in the entire Kingdom of Yann, I'm afraid the number of troops that can be recruited now will not exceed ours. Tell me, what right do they have to fight the orcs? And why should we cooperate with them in the battle?" Kurt was not polite at all to the representative of the Kingdom of Yann who had already left, and he poured out everything in his mind in one breath.

"Let me say this... Although as a country, the Kingdom of Yan is on the brink of extinction. But we have to know that there is still a Shen Hanlong in their country. So we must act with caution in dealing with the issues of the Kingdom of Yan..." Feng Ya, whose identity was exposed, frowned and took off the helmet covering her face, thinking with a very cautious attitude.

"You're right. Although it seems that the Kingdom of Yan is close to collapse, with Shen Xiang here, none of us dare to underestimate him... It seems that we made a mistake in testing him this time. We all underestimated his role in a country, which puts us in such a passive situation." After listening to Feng Ya's words, Sterling also sighed, and even after seeing Kurt's hesitant expression, he shook his hand at Kurt, indicating that he didn't need to say anything more.

“To be honest, we haven’t encountered any organized resistance since we entered the Western Continent, and we didn’t even take the elite Kastark Empire Royal Legion seriously.

However, we all have to admit that the losses we suffered at the hands of Shen Xiang were definitely not once or twice, but continuous and uninterrupted. Whether in terms of strategy or tactics, or even in terms of armaments and weapons, we have never gained a real advantage.

Now, although I know it is still hard for everyone to believe that he can disperse or defeat the orcs outside our city in one night, I think based on his past performance, even if there is no guarantee that he can deal with the orcs outside this time, at least there is hope. . . . . . So, I would like to hear everyone’s opinions on whether to prepare for the battle tomorrow. "

When Sterling, out of helplessness, delegated the decision on whether to prepare for war, the entire military tent immediately became lively. All the generals expressed their suggestions and actively wooed other officers in the hope of making a decision that was consistent with their own ideas.

Among them, only one person felt the most uncomfortable, and that was Feng Ya. Because she was shocked to find that all the officers in the entire military tent, whether they agreed or disagreed with preparing for war, all expressed extraordinary affirmation of the achievements of her mortal enemy Shen Hanlong. Everyone's expression was either admiration or jealousy. Compared with the Sixth Division of the Flame Legion, no one mentioned the Fire Phoenix Legion that she originally led...

After several hours of discussion, although there was no accurate conclusion on whether to go to war, everyone agreed on one point, that is, to prepare for war, and to keep the troops ready to attack the orcs at any time as required in the letter I finally gave to Sterling. This was based on the premise that the orc army was in chaos or defeat.

It was not known whether it was due to time urgency or some other reason, but what surprised Feng Ya was that the officers of the Mocaster Empire, including Sterling, did not ask for her opinion or anything else after the conclusion was reached. They even developed some emotions towards her, intentionally or unintentionally, and even had elements of vigilance and contempt, which made Feng Ya puzzled.

When the next day came, the entire Kamikaze City was quickly and effectively mobilized, and continued to operate according to the plan in the dark. A large amount of supplies and equipment were transferred to where they were needed, and the soldiers were also led by officers and quickly gathered at the four city gates.

"Hey brother, did you hear? Today is the first time that our Mocast Empire and the Yan Kingdom have taken joint action after being attacked by the demons. Do you think we have a chance to win this time?" An officer asked a staff officer beside him in a low voice after gathering his subordinates. Everyone could hear his excitement in his voice.

"I can't tell whether we win or lose, after all, that thing is too difficult to determine, not to mention that we don't know what the plan of the whole operation is... But as far as I know, this operation is not led by our marshal, but a counterattack organized by Lord Shen Xiang, the prince of the Kingdom of Yan. According to my guess, winning or losing is another matter, but I feel that the one who has taken advantage is definitely us humans!" After listening to the officer's words, the staff officer said affirmatively. But as he finished speaking, the officer immediately raised a middle finger to his nose.

"I despise you! You can even say such words, it's fucking hell... Do you think everyone doesn't know? That Shen Xiang from the Kingdom of Yan is actually the commander of the Sixth Division of the Flame Legion that has been fighting with us for a long time. We all know that guy has experienced more than a hundred battles since his debut, and he has often been defeated, but in the end he has never really suffered a loss. Do you think the Beastmen can make him suffer a loss this time? I don't think it's possible..."

"Eh! It's just as you said. Actually, the Marshal took action this time, largely because it was him who came. If it was someone else, I'm afraid the Marshal would not have made these plans at all... Of course, just like the commander of the Fire Phoenix Legion, you see, we killed so many of his men, but he still came to beg our Mocaster Empire for help?" The staff officer felt a little embarrassed and had no choice but to change the subject.

"That's true. That Feng Wu is really spineless. She doesn't want to be the legion commander anymore, but instead comes to help the enemy kill her compatriots. I really don't understand the reason behind this. Is it really because of that Shen Hanlong who defected to the enemy?" The officer, who had no scheming, was immediately diverted by the staff officer.

"You are wrong. You may not know that our General Staff has done a lot of research on this. From the signs, after the battle between the two continents, that is, after the reinforcements of the Kastark Empire were defeated by us, because Shen Hanlong had strong command ability and better equipment, even our Marshal Sterling suffered a lot under his hands. And because of this, the woman became jealous of Shen Hanlong and has been framing and hunting him down until now..."

"Damn, this woman is really vicious! Fortunately, my wife is not like her..."

The two men continued to chat about military matters in whispers, and then turned their attention to women and money until the subsequent battle. But they would never know that at the corner of the city wall a few meters behind them, a knight in full armor was leaning against it. . . . .

"Marshal, how do you think they will launch an attack on the orcs? Will the magicians use magic to launch a large-scale attack? Or will the warriors charge and the magicians provide cover? Or will they even prepare to send out a large number of archers, using the range and speed of their bows to drag down the orcs?" Kurt, who had made preparations in advance, looked at Marshal Sterling gloomily as he sipped his wine in the command post.

"Don't worry. We can only clean up the mess anyway. Moreover, if the situation is dangerous, we can simply ignore the tacit agreements and stay in the city and do nothing. As for the possibilities you mentioned, I think none of them are possible..."

First, according to the news sent from China, the Kingdom of Yan has less than 100,000 mages left, and that includes two half-crippled magician units that were withdrawn from us. They are simply not enough to launch a powerful enough attack. Moreover, I don't believe Shen Hanlong dares to play almost all the cards in his hand at once.

Similarly, the second point is also not true, he still does not have the ability.

As for the third point, I am even more certain that the Kingdom of Yan cannot find another 10,000 people to form a division capable of operating longbows. Even if all the adult males of the surviving people are counted, I guarantee that they cannot form a legion.

In fact, in my mind, I feel that there are several possibilities for the Kingdom of Yan. First, let a group of civilians who can output magic power carry the magic scrolls that he used to annihilate 1.2 million beastmen last time. In this way, as long as their civilians can get close to the beastmen’s camp, they will definitely cause chaos among the beastmen. Second, I think they will let the civilians carry a large number of magic cannons to attack the beastmen’s camp, and then take the opportunity to use the main force to quickly attack a certain camp of the beastmen, and then use their speed to quickly evacuate... "

As Sterling was guessing about the possible attacks by the Kingdom of Yarn, he accidentally glanced at the mouth on the head in mid-air, but it could no longer close... (To be continued)
