While Li Jianyi was having a headache, Li Huailin had already rushed back to Degara City. Because the situation was changing too quickly, McCain could no longer stay in prison. When Li Huailin returned to the temporary headquarters, McCain had already come out on his own.
"Marshal, something bad has happened!" McCain immediately shouted when he saw Li Huailin.
"Okay, okay, I know. Why does everyone say that when they see me?" Li Huailin said.
"The Demons have sent troops, the dwarves have declared war on us, and I heard that there is a rebellion in the west. I don't know what exactly is going on, but we are still being held back by the undead. They have also sent reinforcements. What should we do now?" McCain asked immediately.
"Yes, Marshal, I didn't expect so many things to happen. What should we do now? The imperial army has been dispatched, and now the main city is a bit weak. If the rebels attack the main city … "Veronica also said.
"Attack the main city? Are you kidding me? How long will it take for the rebels to fight if there is no one defending the main city wall?" Li Huailin said. "Don't overestimate the rebels."
"The Marshal is right." Macken was anxious at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that it was indeed the case. The main city had walls that were more than 30 meters high. Under normal circumstances, they wouldn't be able to break through. Besides, there were 15,000 Imperial Guards defending the city. "But Marshal, the main city won't last long. Although we don't know how many rebels there are, as long as they surround the city, the main city's supplies will be affected."
The humans did not have much food in the first place. They had to ask Li Huailin to buy food just to cope with the war. Because of the war, the extra food had basically been transported to the front line, so it was estimated that there was not much food in the main city.
"Don't worry, as long as we get it done quickly, the other side will definitely catch up," Li Huailin said.
"Get it done quickly? Marshal, are we finally going to attack the undead? " McCann immediately said, "Has the Marshal thought of a plan to defeat the Undead?"
Everyone in the hall immediately turned to look at Li Huailin. Of course, Sulan was the most curious. She had just been defeated by the undead. She really wanted to see how the Duke of Aquitaine was going to defeat the undead.
"Oh? When did I say that I was going to defeat the Undead Race? "Li Huailin asked curiously.
"Ha? But Marshal, you've just become familiar with us, so we need to settle things as soon as possible. Shouldn't we defeat the Undead immediately? Otherwise, are we supposed to ignore the Undead and return to defend the main city? If that's the case, when the undead enter our territory, they will definitely cause great damage. Also … they won't just watch us retreat like that. Right now, there are about 23000 undead soldiers (resurrected corpses), and 10000 reinforcements will be arriving soon. I estimate that the enemy's numbers will rise to about 40,000 within three days. Also, they are very strong. If we don't defeat them now, we won't stand a chance, "Maccon said.
"McCann, have the logistics team from my territory arrived?" Li Huailin suddenly asked.
"Logistics team?" McCann was stunned. He did not know why Li Huailin would suddenly ask this question.
"Report." Suddenly, a knight raised his hand and walked out from the back row. Li Huailin turned around and saw that it was Reggie, the guard of the logistics team. "Reporting to my lord, the logistics team arrived last night. Deputy Marshal McCann wasn't here, and my lord wasn't in the barracks. That's why we have to report the order now. I'm very sorry."
"Oh, forget it. You should be here by now. Just in time," Li Huailin said with a smile. "Alright, everything is ready. Now there's only one thing left …"
"Marshal, what's the matter?" McCain asked.
"We … um, let's form an alliance with the Undead." Li Huailin suddenly said something that shocked everyone in a relaxed manner.
"Huh?" All the generals in the command center were stunned.
"Marshal, are you kidding me?" While the others were still in a daze, McCann had already come to his senses. Perhaps it was because he had been with Li Huailin for a long time, so his resistance to lightning was relatively high. "We form an alliance with the Undead Race?"
"Is there anything wrong?" Li Huailin asked.
"Nothing is wrong!" McCann said. "We are now at war with the Undead Race. Both sides have fought four battles. No … that's not the point. The point is, how could the Undead Race form an alliance with us? They were the ones who invaded us. Now that the empire is in such a big crisis, the Undead Race must have received the news soon. Now is the best time to deal with us. Why would they form an alliance with us at this time?"
"Yes, Marshal," Veronica chimed in. "Now the Undead Race has a great advantage. Not only did they defeat our troops for two days in a row, but their reinforcements are coming soon. No matter what reason they have, it's impossible for them to form an alliance with us. Let alone an alliance, it's impossible for them to stop the war."
"Why? I'm so awesome. As soon as I stand there, they will immediately be scared into forming an alliance with me, "Li Huailin said as he spread out his hands.
"Huh?" Maccon almost thought that Li Huailin had lost his mind. If Li Huailin wasn't his marshal, Maccon would have sent him to a mental hospital. "Marshal, are you serious?"
"Of course I'm serious." Li Huailin immediately said, "Send someone to negotiate with the Undead immediately. Tell them that we want to form an alliance with them. Hurry up and send someone to negotiate with us. There's not much time left. Hurry up."
"This … this …" McCann was stunned for a long time. How was he supposed to carry out this order?
"Uh, no … it seems that we don't have time to wait for this. How long will it take for the two sides to send messengers to each other? We must act immediately." Li Huailin suddenly said, "Inform all the troops to gather and go to the camp of the Undead Race immediately. After forming an alliance, we will immediately march and leave Degara City."
"Sigh … Marshal …" McCann wanted to say something but was immediately interrupted by Li Huailin.
"McCann, there's no time to explain. The situation is urgent. Execute the order immediately!" Li Huailin said with a wave of his hand.
"Yes!" McCann, of course, was full of doubts, but when he heard Li Huailin's words, he immediately saluted and said.
The order to go to war was immediately passed down. The soldiers of the second legion immediately gathered and prepared for action. However, the soldiers were very reluctant because they did not know whose order it was. So far, no one knew what had happened to their marshal, Li Huailin. As for Su Lan, their nominal supreme commander, no one trusted her at all.
"Why are we gathering again? Are we going to fight the Undead again?" The soldiers here were discussing because they did not know what was going on in the main city.
"This is completely suicide. This chief of staff doesn't know how to fight at all. She is completely sent by the royal family to take away the military power of our marshal," a soldier here said.
"Damn it, forget about the mutiny. Deputy Marshal McCann was also captured by her. We don't know where the marshal is. Maybe he is already under house arrest," a soldier next to him said.
"That's right, this woman must have done something to our Marshal …"
The soldiers below were in a mess. There was no discipline at all. This situation was completely different from the previous second legion, and it also reflected the impetuous hearts of the soldiers here.
However, this situation soon stopped because everyone saw two familiar figures. On one side, Li Huailin slowly walked towards the high platform with Deputy Marshal McCann. The soldiers who were originally in a mess stopped in an instant. Everyone immediately shut up and stood straight in front of them.
"Long live the marshal!" No one knew who took the lead to shout, but it immediately resonated with everyone. Soon, the soldiers followed suit and shouted.
"Long live the marshal!" "Long live the marshal!"
"Alright, quiet down." Li Huailin waved his hand and said, "I don't have time to listen to your flattery. We are going to the Undead camp now and reach an agreement with them."
"Eh?" The soldiers were silent for a moment. Everyone was stunned.
"Marshal, did we hear it right? Is it … an agreement?" a brave soldier in the front asked.
"Yes, we didn't hear it wrong. Is there a problem?" Li Huailin asked.
"But Marshal, why? My brother's body is still in the hands of the Undead. If we reach an agreement, will my brother's body still be returned? " The soldiers here asked. They didn't know the situation of the Demon Race's attack or the Dwarf Race's attack. They just wanted to find the bodies of their comrades.
"Yes, Marshal, my brother's body is there too."
"So is my squad leader. If we leave him alone, he might be turned into an Undead Warrior by the Undead."
"Quiet," Li Huailin said with a wave of his hand. "Your question is really strange. Why do we need him for something like this? If the Undead want it, we can just give it to him. What's wrong with that? "
"Huh?" All the soldiers were stunned. "Marshal, are you serious?"
"Of course," Li Huailin said.
Su Lan was taken aback. How could the Duke of Aquitaine say that? But before she could react, the soldiers on her side suddenly erupted in anger.
"Marshal, you really love your soldiers like your own children. You don't even see us as human beings! This is great! "
"As expected of the Marshal! This is so touching! "
The soldiers were so excited that tears streamed down their faces. Some of them even cried on the spot. McCann and the others on the stage also had tears in their eyes. In an instant, the soldiers' morale was restored.
"Huh?" Su Lan could not believe her eyes. "What … what's going on?"
"We are willing to die for the Marshal! Long live the Marshal! "The soldiers on this side roared in their hearts. They were too excited.
"Long live the Marshal!" "Long live the Marshal!"
"Hmm, very good. It seems like the morale of the soldiers can be used." Li Huailin nodded. "Everyone, pack up and get ready to go."
