"Huh? Taking the initiative to attack? " Li Huailin was stunned. The Fourth Army of Firmus was so cute. The Fourth Army's base was near the main city. With Firmus' current situation, they could definitely control the emperor directly. They could attack the imperial city first, and then rely on the main city's defense. Even the combined forces of Li Huailin and Anthony might not be able to break through the main city's defense. What was Firmus doing? Why did they take the initiative to attack?
Taking a step back, even if he didn't do anything now, by the time his Second Division reached the vicinity of the main city, the Fourth Division would definitely be allowed to retreat into the main city to defend. That would be a better opportunity than now … To be honest, Li Huailin still hadn't figured out how to deal with the more than 30 meters high double walls in the main city …
But then he thought about it, and Li Huailin seemed to understand something. Firmus did this for one reason. He didn't know that the Demons behind him had already been taken care of, so he wanted to stop their troops here. When the Demons behind them caught up, they could attack from both sides and eliminate them.
Indeed, although the defense of the main city was strong, it was very difficult to fight their way out after entering. Filmus still didn't know that the demon army had been defeated and returned to their hometown. He still thought that they were following him. If that was the case, it was indeed possible for them to do so.
Thinking about it carefully, the Demons had been reduced to only a thousand scattered troops in an instant. They probably hadn't even escaped back to the Demons' camp, so where would they have the time to contact Firmus' human troops? Besides, the Demons and the second army weren't really on the same side. They were just using each other, so they wouldn't tell the second army about the current situation.
Thinking of this, Li Huailin nodded. "Isn't it good that they took the initiative to attack? Why are you so nervous?"
"Huh?" McCann and Veronica were stunned, but it made sense when they thought about it. If the Demons really didn't attack, they would be attacking the City of Blessed God. Because they left in a hurry, they didn't bring any siege weapons. If they really attacked the city, they really wouldn't know what to do.
"That's right. Why are we in such a hurry? It's probably because you weren't here just now, Army Commander, so we were a little anxious," Veronica said after composing herself.
"But why did Firmus take the initiative to attack …" Maccon thought immediately.
"What else can they do? They don't know that we've taken care of the Demons behind them. They're still thinking of cooperating with the Demons behind them to defeat us," Li Huailin said with a smile.
All the generals were stunned. Then, they came to a sudden realization. It was indeed possible.
"How many enemy troops are there? Where have they arrived?" Li Huailin asked.
"About 70,000 to 80,000. They should be the entire main force of the 4th Legion. They are now near Tirmas City, about 40 kilometers away from us," McCain immediately reported while pointing at the map next to him.
"Then there's no hurry. Let's wait for them here." Li Huailin thought about it and said, "Seal off the camp. There should be Firmus' spies in our army. I don't want Firmus to find out about this. Everyone is forbidden from going out now. If there's anything suspicious, kill them first and report later."
"Yes, Army Commander!" Everyone saluted immediately.
"Alright, go back to your camps. Organize your troops and get ready to fight at any time." Li Huailin waved his hand and said, "Vanessa, stay here."
All the generals immediately left, leaving only Vanessa. Vanessa probably knew what Li Huailin meant. He was probably going to talk about the Revolutionary Army.
"Vanessa, can you contact Anthony now? Where are their troops?" Li Huailin asked.
"I can't contact them right now. I don't know where the commander's troops are either. But if they left at noon yesterday, they should be nearby now." Vanessa pointed slightly on the map. Li Huailin looked at it. It was still quite far from where he was. Li Huailin estimated that it would take at least a few hours for them to meet up.
"It's so troublesome to not be able to contact them …" Li Huailin said while rubbing his chin.
"I don't know where the commander's camp is. If necessary, I can look around there. I should be able to find it, "Vanessa said.
"It's too late … I wanted to work with Anthony, but I can't. As expected, it's more troublesome if NPCs don't have ranged attacks …" Li Huailin said.
Just as he was having a headache, a soldier suddenly shouted at the door, "Report, Army Commander!"
"Come in," Li Huailin said casually.
A soldier holding a spear immediately came in and saluted Li Huailin. Then, he said, "Army Commander, we've caught a person who seems to be a spy. What should we do with him?"
"You caught one so quickly? But didn't I say to kill first and report later? Just kill him," Li Huailin said.
"Report, Army Commander. The person we caught is an adventurer. Even if we kill him, we can still get the information," the soldier immediately replied.
"Adventurer?" Li Huailin was stunned. The adventurer the NPC mentioned was a player. What did this have to do with players? He immediately asked, "Where did you catch him?"
"He's been wandering around the camp. Our patrol found him and captured him," the soldier replied.
"So he's not a spy from our camp." Li Huailin nodded. "Where is he? Let me see."
"Please wait for a moment, Army Commander. I'll bring him here immediately." The soldier nodded and left the camp.
Wei Erqiya was a little nervous. He was surrounded by a dozen fully armed soldiers. More than a dozen pairs of eyes were staring at him. If he moved even the slightest bit, the soldiers around him would immediately raise their spears. He didn't even have time to take out a Return Scroll from his bag.
He didn't expect to be so unlucky. He thought he was very lucky. Yesterday, when he was leveling up, he found a place that looked like a military camp. In the end, he was captured the moment he entered. However, nothing happened to him. He even received a Hidden Quest from the commanding officer there. He felt very lucky, so he came to do the Hidden Quest today. He didn't expect to be captured again before he even started. It seemed like he was really going to die this time.
He had spent a lot of effort to level up. It was very difficult to level up in the game. If he died now, he would return to Level 29. He would have to train for half a day to get back to his previous level. It was a huge loss. Now that there were layers of people watching him, he couldn't leave even if he wanted to.
After waiting anxiously for a while, the NPC who looked like the squad leader returned. Wei Erqiya immediately went up and said, "Big Brother, you've got the wrong person. I'm really not a spy. I'm just leveling up and passing by here …"
"It's useless to say anything now. Let's go. The Army Commander wants to see you," the squad leader said.
"Army Commander?" Wei Erqiya was stunned. F * ck, this is bad. Even the Army Commander is paying attention to me. However, he thought about it … Could this be a part of the quest? He heard that Hidden Quests were usually very strange. The process might be different from what was written in the quest description …
"Let's go!" Just as he was thinking, the two soldiers behind him immediately pushed Wei Erqiya.
Wei Er Qiyue wanted to see the Legion Commander now. Perhaps his luck would be so good that he would somehow complete the quest. In any case, he would just die once at most.
Following the squad leader, Wei Erqiya arrived at a place that looked like a main camp. As soon as he reached the entrance, the squad leader immediately reported, "Army Commander, the person is here."
"Oh, come in," Li Huailin said casually.
Wei Erqiya was stunned. This was because the Army Commander's voice was very young. It sounded like he was about the same age as him. Was such a young Army Commander really okay?
After entering, Wei Erqiya was stunned for a long time because the person in front of him was actually a player. There was a huge difference between a player and an NPC. Putting aside equipment, a player's name did not appear above their head, while an NPC's name was above their head in green. So, Wei Erqiya recognized the player immediately. However, why was there a player in this main camp? Was he here to do a quest?
What was even more shocking was that the squad leader next to him actually saluted the player and said in a serious tone, "Army Commander, this is the adventurer."
"Army … Army Commander?" Wei Er Qiyue looked at Li Huailin in shock. Are you kidding me? This player is actually the army commander of this camp?
"Oh, I understand. You guys can leave first," Li Huailin said as he waved his hand.
"This … Army Commander …" The squad leader was obviously worried about Li Huailin's safety. After all, he did not know who this adventurer was.
"Leave." Li Huailin laughed. You're worried about Li Huailin's safety? Are you kidding me? Let's not talk about NPCs. Are there any players who can defeat Li Huailin now?
"Yes, sir!" The squad leader saluted and retreated with his soldiers.
"Big … Big Brother … You're the Army Commander here?" Wei Erqiya looked at Li Huailin in shock.
"Yeah, why did you come here? This place is very far from the main city, right? You have to travel so far to train? Do you want to do a quest? "Li Huailin asked.
"Yes …" Wei Erqiya nodded. Seeing that the Army Commander was actually a player, Wei Erqiya did not hide anything and said, "Yesterday, I received a Hidden Quest. Today, I came to do it. I didn't expect to be caught as soon as I entered. How unlucky."
"Hidden Quest? What quest? Is it related to this camp? "Li Huailin asked.
