Tunan Town Hall.
meeting room.
When Lamiron walked in, the large conference room was already full of people.
At this moment, most of the people sitting in the conference room are faces that Ramiren is not very familiar with. They are all middle- and high-level officers of the Burning Legion. This is the most important cornerstone of the Burning Legion. To a certain extent, these people Currently, the Burning Legion is composed of deputy officers who are capable of holding full-time positions.
After all, the Burning Legion was just a legion before. To put it bluntly, it was a large mercenary group. The internal system was relatively simple, and the general development plan was also in the field of combat. Ramiron must do something to the true masters of the Burning Legion. Make arrangements.
The high-level positions within the Burning Legion are almost all held by Thunder Realm masters, but those who are actually responsible for commanding the battle during combat are these middle- and high-level officers who hold deputy positions in front of them.
This is also the reason why the Burning Legion's offensive is so strong tonight.
Those masters can make the Burning Legion sharper, but without them, it will not affect the overall integrity of the Burning Legion.
And in this development, the most aggrieved thing is the deputies sitting in the conference room in front of them.
But the situation has changed from today onwards.
The Burning Legion, which has occupied Tiannan, now has the prototype of becoming a super force. In the coming time, the Burning Legion will inevitably be reorganized internally, transforming from a single legion into a truly super force spanning various fields. This means countless things. Everyone here has enough opportunities to stand alone in the future territory of the Burning Legion.
Lamiren sent out most of the experts and kept these people, not necessarily without first contacting them to get to know each other.
Annan's Defense Minister Kim Yong-sung was also sitting in the conference room.
Seeing Lamiron coming in, everyone stood up at the same time: "Your Highness."
dominate.
This is the codename Ramiren gave himself.
Not a new codename.
When the Burning Legion was called the First Legion in Africa, Lamiron himself did not have a code name. This alone can show his low profile.
"Everyone sit down."
Lamiron waved his hand, walked to the main seat and sat down. Without any polite greetings, he said straightforwardly: "Report the battle damage."
"Your Highness, a total of 8,600 people are participating in this operation tonight, divided into two groups, the first group is 5,000 people, and the second group is 3,600 people. The combat radius is 65 kilometers, and the combat time is four hours and thirty-five minutes. Minutes, according to the current statistics, 4,100 Burning Legion soldiers died, about 600 were seriously injured, and 1,500 were slightly injured. There are still about 3,000 soldiers who can continue to fight, including some lightly wounded. , which may have some impact on their combat effectiveness."
In the conference room, a mixed-race middle-aged man stood up and reported in a steady voice: "In about five hours, our combat personnel in Tunan City can be increased to about 9,000. The loss rate of this war is more than Our expected loss rate was eight percent lower, in line with expectations and a successful operation."
Lamiren's face was expressionless, but the corners of his mouth twitched fiercely.
Although he knew that they could not win easily against the Free Corps, such a loss still made him feel distressed. Although this was in line with expectations, it was only rational data based on the analysis of a large amount of data. In his heart, if the loss rate could be reduced by about 30%, it would be the most perfect action in his mind.
After all, the Burning Legion who followed him into Tiannan are all elites. If they can lose less, it means that the Burning Legion's combat effectiveness will be stronger.
Lamiren snorted and said in a deep voice, "Where's the harvest?"
"Still counting."
Another black man stood up: "At present, the Legion has successfully controlled three military bases. No cutting-edge special weapons have been discovered yet, but the conventional armaments of the Free Legion are also at least two levels ahead of the Burning Legion. This is how we improve our combat effectiveness. The key, the only pity is that they don’t have fighter planes. Your Highness, maybe we should really consider building a military airport in Tiannan."
Lamiren shook his head and said nothing, but his eyes were thoughtful.
The Freikorps had no fighter planes.
In other words, all the major forces in Tiannan have no chance to fight.
After Tiannan separated from Annan, the airport and railways were all destroyed. Under such circumstances, air control has always been an extremely sensitive issue. Zhongzhou was not able to intervene for the time being, while Annan was worried. The game between the two sides lasted for several days. Years ago, neither the Free Corps nor the rebels had their own air power, only a few armed helicopters at most.
"Minister Jin, how many people are there on the rebel side?"
Lamiren was silent for a while and then asked suddenly.
"this... "
Minister Jin was stunned for a moment, a little embarrassed: "Still counting."
It was a bit difficult for him to say this. In fact, Annan and the rebels are still in the carnival of taking over Tunan City. Are they counting the battle losses? No one seems to care about this yet. As for the Burning Legion, no one has yet thought of the so-called carnival. After the battle, they will immediately count the battle losses and gains, and formulate the next plan, which is rigorous, efficient and accurate.
The gap between the Burning Legion and the rebels was infinitely large at this moment.
Lamiron didn't say much, just looked at Minister Jin and said calmly: "Thirty thousand people in five hours, is there any problem?"
Five hours.
In five hours, the second batch of the Burning Legion's army of about 9,000 people will arrive in Tunan City. At that time, Ramilon will have more than 10,000 direct troops, plus the rebels' 30,000 troops, Ramilon will With nearly 50,000 available manpower, he was ready to take down Yongbyon in one go.
Minister Jin hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, are you too impatient?"
Lamiron glanced at him, raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you want to say?"
"I think we need some time to prepare. Annan will prepare real elite troops for His Highness, equipped with the best equipment, as well as Annan's domestic masters. I think only a fully prepared war can achieve real victory. "
Minister Jin said helplessly.
Lamiron narrowed his eyes, looked at the officers sitting in the conference room, and suddenly said: "What do you think?"
"Time is not necessarily on our side."
A white woman who is rarely seen in the Burning Legion stood up: "You must know that we are facing Central Continent this time, the most powerful country in the world. It is better than the quality of the army, the advanced level of the armament, and the master camp. , we don’t have any advantage, and Annan doesn’t have any advantage.”
"Our only advantage now is the cohesion and mobility of the Burning Legion. In other words, we have made preparations for this war in advance. As for Central Continent, because of concerns about the influence of public opinion, it is unlikely to blatantly occupy Tiannan. If this point is not established, I think our war will not need to be fought. Because let alone Central Continent, as long as the Central Continent Killing God Dongcheng Wudi appears in Tiannan
On land, we can’t even stop the bloody army of Central Continent. "
There was silence.
The killing god of Zhongzhou, Dongcheng, is invincible.
Purely in terms of personal force, Dongcheng Wudi is not too worrying, but a Dongcheng Wudi leading an army is enough to make anyone's scalp numb.
And a legion commanded by Dongcheng Wudi is also enough to make people tremble. He has been operating in the Border Guard Corps for too many years. Without him, the soldiers of the Border Guard Corps are completely incompetent, both in terms of momentum and mental state. Just two different things.
If Zhongzhou really launches a blatant attack and Dongcheng Wudi personally takes command, the Burning Legion has no chance of stopping Dongcheng Wudi.
"This is impossible."
Minister Jin immediately said: "Tiannan is not the territory of Zhongzhou. Zhongzhou has stated that it has no territorial ambitions for Tiannan. Although we all know that this is impossible, there will definitely not be anyone flying the flag of Zhongzhou in this war. army."
His voice paused, and he gritted his teeth and continued: "The president is communicating with the heads of state and European countries. They will put pressure on Zhongzhou internationally, just like they have in the past few years. What I can guarantee is that Zhongzhou The army will not enter Tiannan on a large scale. But this is the only thing I can guarantee."
"So time is not on our side."
The white woman nodded: "As long as Yingbian is still there, Zhongzhou means that Tiannan still has strength. There is a complete military base, which means that as long as there is time, they can secretly prepare a large number of troops and experts to enter the Free Corps. Shi Zai fought back and captured Tunan City. I think Zhongzhou has begun to plan this now. Yongbian has the support of the entire Zhongzhou. The longer time goes by, the more difficult the situation we face, so I agree with His Highness’s suggestion and use the best possible method. Take Yongbyon as soon as possible."
"It is not easy to capture Ningbian now."
Minister Jin couldn't help but said: "According to the news we got, Ning Zhiyuan, the commander of the Freedom Corps, has returned to Tiannan, bringing with him the top brass of the Freedom Corps. Ning Zhiyuan was also a famous general in Zhongzhou before. He is not easy to deal with. We have to face it now This is a Free Corps that has just lost a battle without complete command. This is when their momentum is at its strongest, because they are angry and unconvinced. If we rush forward at this time, the losses will be very heavy, and we may not be able to win. .”
Being able to become Annan's Minister of Defense, he is certainly not a brainless idiot. Now that he calmed down, his mind became clearer: "Also, I don't want you to forget that His Highness Lamiron is not absolutely invincible. In fact, the Burning Legion has provoked a strong enemy tonight. The Eastern Palace may still be weak and has just started. But in the entire dark world now, who dares to say that their palace master Li Tianlan is weak? That is the future genius, and he has just swept away Beihai Province forced Beihai Wang to bow his head. It was also the time when his momentum was at its peak. Many people said that although he had not yet entered the invincible realm, in today's dark world, he could almost be said to be invincible. Li Tianlan's character, I think I don’t need to say anything more, right? We destroyed the headquarters of the Eastern Palace. With Li Tianlan’s character, I don’t believe he would endure it. At this time, maybe he had already arrived at Ningbian, and the Burning Legion pounced on it, hitting more than just It is the top combat effectiveness of the Free Corps and perhaps the Eastern Palace! It is also the top combat effectiveness in the dark world today!"
"snort!"
Lamiren suddenly snorted heavily, and a fierce murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Seemingly realizing that something was wrong with his emotions, he took a deep breath, calmed down, and said calmly: "The East Palace will not be as scary as you said. Li Tianlan is the future genius, and the future genius also means that he is nothing now. .”
"..."
Minister Jin stared at Lamiron's calm face in stunned silence. Not only him, but everyone in the entire conference room was silent for a moment.
Li Tianlan is nothing now
Perhaps before the chaos broke out in Eastern Europe, some people still dared to say this.
But now... Even the diehard fans of the Burning Legion feel that Lamiron is not qualified to say such a thing.
Lamiron remained calm and continued: "Li Tianlan is indeed very strong in his normal state. Although he has not entered the invincible realm, I will not underestimate him because of this, but now..."
He smiled: "I have enough information to prove that Li Tianlan has suffered serious internal injuries during his trip to Beihai, and he is not in peak condition now. As for the Saint, he also suffered internal injuries, and our people raided the hospital. That place is also a top priority, even if we want to take revenge, only one of Li Tianlan and the Saint can come."
"The most important thing is that even if they come, they will not come so fast. Everyone, you all know what it means to be a genius in the future. Zhongzhou will know it better than you. After the Sword Emperor falls silent, Zhongzhou will definitely strengthen its support for Li Tianlan. Protection and will definitely support the East Palace to establish a foothold in Tiannan, but this will take time. If there are no accidents, Li Tianlan will gather the masters of Central Continent as soon as possible and join forces with the Free Corps to launch the first counterattack against us. The most dangerous counterattack. Minister Jin, believe me, this time will not be too long, at most three days, they will take action, so these three days are our most critical time, I must win Yongbyon today, Then use two days to arrange Ningbian. I am talking about taking Ningbian before dark, as you promised."
"boom!"
A stocky black man stood up and patted the table, sneering in a low voice: "As long as we capture Ningbian, we will drive the forces of Zhongzhou out of Tiannan. In this case, Zhongzhou, which has no power in Tiannan, will It is already difficult to reach out. After all, although the Free Corps is now the Central Continent army, it is nominally the rebels of Annan. We have suppressed the rebels and taken advantage of the truth. After driving Central Continent out, what else can they do?"
He glared at Minister Jin and said in an unceremonious tone: "The Burning Legion is helping Annan, what are you hesitating about?"
"There is also Tiandu Purgatory."
Lamiron's voice was indifferent: "Tiandu Purgatory also belongs to the Li family and is the force of Li Kuangtu. However, currently, it seems that Li Kuangtu and Li Tianlan are not on the same line, but after losing Tiannan, We do not rule out the possibility of their temporary cooperation. Zhongzhou will not be willing to give up Tiannan. If we defeat the Free Corps, Zhongzhou and Donghuang Palace are likely to make a comeback with the help of Tiandu Purgatory's power in Tiannan."
"This is all Annan's fault."
said a grumpy black man.
Minister Jin was furious and extremely embarrassed. Tiandu Purgatory was also invited by Annan at that time. At that time, the Freedom Corps was still dominated by the Wang family of Beihai. Tiandu Purgatory and the Wang family of Beihai were in tit-for-tat confrontation. Based on the principle that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, Annan invited Tiandu Purgatory into Tiannan, but looking at it now, this is undoubtedly inviting the wolf into the house.
"So after solving the Freedom Corps, we need to select a small number of elites to eliminate Tiandu Purgatory's power in Tiannan as soon as possible. The only thing to be thankful for is that Tiandu Purgatory's power in Tiannan is not that much, probably more than Dongdong Purgatory's power in Tiannan. The power of the palace should be weaker, which allows us to dispatch fewer elites and improve mobility."
Lamiren stood up: "Everyone, I know this is not easy, but this is a key battle related to the rise of the Burning Legion. As long as we clear the sky of Middle-earth,
All the forces in the South, under the pressure of public opinion, it is impossible for Zhongzhou to extend its tentacles into Tiannan for a while. They will slowly develop, slowly plot, and slowly accumulate strength. This will take a lot of time. And this period of time is the best opportunity for the Burning Legion to slowly develop."
He glanced at Minister Jin, no longer worried about anything, and said straightforwardly: "Annan invited us to enter Tiannan, and invited the Burning Legion to become Annan's special operations center. It is not just giving us power and wealth, but also dedication. Then It is to directly face the risk of Zhongzhou in Tiannan. At this time, if we leave any escape route for Zhongzhou, we will have to face their endless counterattacks in the future. Therefore, by driving them out, we will have enough time to accumulate strength. .”
He clenched his fist vigorously and said coldly: "Codenamed Fangs, the entire Burning Legion is dispatched to attack Yingbian first. In Purgatory, the capital of Destruction, the combat area is 300 kilometers. I want to get good news before dark. The sooner the better. good!"
"boom!"
The entire conference room suddenly boiled, and the Burning Legion officers sitting in the conference room suddenly stood up and began to issue orders.
Lamiron turned to look at Minister Jin with heavy eyes.
"Annan will cooperate fully."
Minister Jin took a deep breath and spoke directly without hesitation.
"I know what you're worried about."
Lamiren said calmly.
When the text message sounded, he took out his phone and glanced at it.
Just two short sentences.
"Radel and his entourage went into hiding."
"Li Tianlan did not appear in the Freedom Corps."
A smile appeared on the corner of Lamirun's mouth: "Li Tianlan did not come to Tiannan. This is the news I received. Even if he comes, I will stop him, don't worry."
"Your Highness, do you think you can win against Li Tianlan?"
Minister Jin asked, he himself was a little unsure of what he said.
Li Tianlan may not be the strongest now, but his momentum is so strong that everyone will feel great pressure when they think about it. This is like Wang Tianzong who broke through and entered the invincible realm. At that time, he may not be the strongest either. , but his momentum is soaring, his sharp edge is outstanding, and he is arrogant. As time goes by, this impression becomes more and more stable, and he naturally becomes the number one master on the God List.
"I am not sure."
Lamiron said calmly, his eyes flickering a little, obviously recalling Li Tianlan's record.
Seriously injured Gu Qianchuan, killed Chiang Qianchuan, killed Black Gui, seriously injured Jin Tong, killed Di Que, and defeated Di Jiang.
This is what Li Tianlan does under normal conditions. Considering his age and the fact that he has never entered the invincible realm, such a record is simply brilliant.
Lamiren took a deep breath and continued: "But I can at least be sure that I will not lose."
... ...
Lin'an.
On the lonely mountain, everyone had dispersed as Li Tianlan left.
The mountains without lights have become colder than ever.
All the elders of the Li family have followed Li Tianlan to Tiannan.
Qin Weibai and Saint also rushed back to Youzhou.
On the Lonely Mountain of Nuo Da, where the Li family currently lives, only Kuangtu Li, Fenghuang and Li Xiao are left.
The sound of rain in Lin'an has stopped.
The glimmer of morning light gradually spread over the earth.
When light and darkness alternate, the sound of a wheelchair passing through the cemetery makes a faint sound, becoming the only sound in the mountain.
Phoenix and Dawn stood at the entrance to the cemetery, motionless.
Li Kuangtu's whole body was surrounded by subtle sword energy.
The sword energy pushed the wheelchair and drove slowly down the slope of the cemetery. Li Kuangtu looked at the cemetery in front of him with an expressionless face.
After everyone left, Kuangtu Li, who did not attend the funeral or show up, finally entered the cemetery alone.
Without Phoenix and Dawn following him, he pushed his wheelchair to the new grave belonging to Li Honghe in the cemetery alone, and stayed there for more than two hours.
No one knows what he said to his deceased father.
No one even knew if he had spoken for more than two hours.
Li Kuangtu's mood was very stable from beginning to end, so stable that he was almost emotionless.
"what time is it?"
Arriving in front of Li Xiao, Fenghuang had already taken the initiative to stand behind Li Kuangtu and hold the wheelchair.
Li Xiao looked down at his watch and said, "Twenty past five."
Li Kuangtu pondered for a moment and said calmly: "If there are no accidents, Li Tianlan should be arriving in Tiannan soon."
This is not an issue that Kuangtu Li should be concerned about, but when he said it at this time, it suddenly had a different flavor.
Li Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and asked directly: "Do you want me to summon our power to do something?"
"I'm not interested in Li Tianlan's revenge, but no matter what, the chess emperor cannot die in vain."
Li Kuangtu said lightly that it was obvious how close the relationship between the first guard and him was, but now he died in such a grievance in the Burning Legion's raid. There must be an explanation for this matter.
Sooner or later.
"It's just sooner or later..."
Li Kuangtu murmured to himself and said calmly: "You can pay attention to Li Tianlan's actions in Tiannan. If the Burning Legion takes Ningbian, the next target will definitely be us. This is an important bargaining chip for our cooperation with Zhongzhou. If If Li Tianlan can stop the Burning Legion, we can cooperate with him."
"I'll find someone to talk to him."
Dawn said.
"No."
Li Kuangtu shook his head, with a smile on his lips: "Go and talk to him in person."
Tiandu Purgatory is the power left over from the Li family in the old days. For many years, Li Honghe has been benefiting from Li Honghe and secretly joined Tiandu Purgatory in the name of suspended animation. These people constitute the main body and the most powerful cutting-edge force of Tiandu Purgatory, and these people Li Tianlan is very familiar to most people, and even those who are not familiar with him are all familiar with Li Tianlan.
If you find someone to talk to, and keep talking, maybe the people from Tiandu Purgatory will become people from the East Palace.
It is necessary to send someone who can be absolutely trusted and can control the situation to talk to Li Tianlan, so that variables can be avoided to the greatest extent.
Daybreak is the perfect candidate.
But the problem is that this most suitable candidate will obviously not be able to stay in Tiannan in the future.
Li Kuangtu had a headache. He thought for a while and continued: "It's just a temporary cooperation. Remember, our most important task is not to kill the enemy, but to protect ourselves."
Li Xiao nodded, turned and left without hesitation.
Li Kuangtu looked at his back and didn't speak for a long time.
He finally began to face up to the future situation and problems that Tiandu Purgatory might face.
When his identity was exposed, he was still seriously injured, and he was not trusted by Dongdao and dared not trust Zhongzhou, self-protection became the most important issue for him to consider.
Li Tianlan can indeed protect Tiandu Purgatory.
But it's a pity that this is not an option for Kuangtu Li.
In the cool morning breeze, Li Kuangtu was silent for a long time before he said calmly: "Contact Xia Zhi for me."
