"Can't hold it... Can't hold it!" I had a hunch about this outcome, but according to my original plan, it was definitely not the fastest for the East Continental Coalition to lose. In terms of strength, the East Continental Coalition, with more than 2 million regular troops and thousands of flying ships to assist, has a combined combat strength at least twice that of any other resistance army. But now this result has appeared, and the main reason is that we underestimated the combat effectiveness of the dragon clan, which is the biggest reason for the imminent collapse of the northern defense line.
“Give the order to have the 2nd reserve flying fleet also go up. I don’t care how long they can hold up the entire defense line for me. I only need them to prevent the enemy from appearing near the Iron Fortress in 20 days… Of course, the latest time for the alien army to arrive cannot be more than 2 days, otherwise you will ask Shen Qiang to come to see me with his head on his head!
At the same time, you must notify Marshal Rick who has retreated from the God and Demon Defense Line as quickly as possible, ask him to bring all the troops with him as much as possible, and then let him retreat to the eastern part of the Kastark Empire to meet up with Lord Sack there.
Also, you should immediately notify Lord Sack of the Western Continent and have him lead his troops to hold on, waiting for Marshal Rick of the God and Demon Defense Line to lead his troops to join him, and then retreat to the Iron Fortress together... Also, have them set the time to pass through the Andrel Canyon to be around 20 days...
Now, let us decide the victory or defeat in one fell swoop!"
With a little hysteria, I issued the craziest order since I came to this world. Although I calculated the risks before issuing this order, I also understood that as long as the main forces of those races entered the range of 10 kilometers of the Iron Fortress, I could basically guarantee that humans would return to their pre-war dominance, and it might even be possible to completely eliminate the threat of alien races to humans.
However, I am also worried about the danger of carrying out this mission. With so many human troops, I don't know how many people will lose their lives due to the chaos and accidents caused by the retreat after I issue this order. What I am even more worried about is whether several main human armies will be completely swallowed up in such a large retreat...
If this really happens, then I can only believe that this is fate, a destiny... Although as for me, I am an atheist...
After issuing all the orders, I found that I had nothing to do. All I could do was wait. Looking at the people running around in and out of the castle, I began to have wild thoughts. If all the wealth and glory I had obtained disappeared with the invasion of those foreign races, I wondered if I could adapt to this world again? If my woman also left me, would I be sad
But I knew that if my plan failed, I would have to flee. At that time, I would be lucky to escape, not to mention wealth and glory.
As for my woman, that is probably an even bigger mystery. Marit is purely a springboard for me to gain power and benefits. If I say that I have feelings for her, it is really too much of a stretch...
Although she treated me well, I knew that a big reason for this was because I was useful to the Kingdom of Yan and I could make her family's throne more stable.
Speaking of Yiya, to be honest, I do have some feelings for her, and there is the most sincere emotion between people when they share adversity. But I am not sure whether her promises are still valid when I cannot provide her people with stable living conditions. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look out of the window, hoping to see her figure! But outside the window, except for the patrol soldiers and busy coolies everywhere, there was no sign of Yiya.
Apart from that, I can no longer find any other trustworthy partner. Because of the elves, Yaruo and Yunyue, although the elves have tried to seek peace with me, I can no longer trust them easily in this environment, even if it is just in case...
As for the other woman whom I both love and hate, I am not even interested in mentioning her name at this moment. After all, from her point of view, I, the former commander of the Kastark Empire, am her mortal enemy, and there is no room for reconciliation. Perhaps, if my plan fails this time, she may even come to step on me as I retreat...
After thinking about it, I felt that I had been in this world for so many years, but I was such a failure as a human being. Apart from the slaves I brought from the Kastark Empire, there was no one else I could trust completely.
"Everyone, do you think... will we fail this time?" In front of dozens of officers in the command room, I said something depressing that I was not sure of myself, causing many generals to change color. Because since they came to my army, although I am not a general who wins every battle, it is undeniable that the reason why these people who follow me have not abandoned me is largely because they are a group of homeless poor people. After leaving my protection and leaving my command, they are just a group of ordinary soldiers and cannot be taken seriously by those aliens.
After a long time, no one in the command room said anything to comfort them. The reactions of the generals were divided into two groups. Those officers who didn't know the plan were a little suspicious of me ordering a withdrawal when the war was still at a stalemate. Although they had guessed that I had a backup plan based on their wisdom and trusted my past achievements, they still believed that I must have a complete plan. But since they didn't know the specific situation, they didn't dare to speak casually.
The few who knew the details were worried because they had no assurances about this adventure, so they were the most silent people at the scene. Everyone kept their mouths shut, fearing that even the slightest clue would leak out of their mouths. Because they knew that if this information was known to the aliens, the end of the entire human race would probably be just around the corner... (To be continued)
