"Maybe they won't even be able to last half an hour. ♀, "Adele sneered. She had no good impression of the Goliath family.
"It's not good to curse our allies like this, my dear sister." A loud voice sounded, and a figure entered from the entrance of the command hall. It was a young man. Even in such a great battle, he was still wearing a luxurious gown. Admittedly, this was a dark gown with lace wrapped around the cuffs of the collar and embroidered with golden patterns by hand. Whether it was workmanship or tailoring, they were all first-rate. However, no matter how luxurious the gown was, it would not be able to provide even the slightest bit of defense on the battlefield.
Of course, if the master didn't need to personally come to the battlefield, then it would naturally be another matter.
"Wallace." Adele furrowed her willow-leaf-like eyebrows. That was her eldest brother, who was also the true person in charge of this expeditionary force. However, Wallace did not lead the army. He was more responsible for logistics, government affairs, and romance with the women in the stronghold. But on important matters, even Zeke needed his permission to pass on orders.
Wallace and Zeke were in charge of different matters. This combination caused the Morsen Clan to be criticized by outsiders. After all, the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly. The commander had to make a decision immediately. How could he have time to deal with those trivial matters? However, the Morsen Clan had no choice but to do so. Otherwise, it would be even more inappropriate to delegate all of their power.
"Young Master Wallace, I thought you would be in the stronghold." Zeke took a step back. Although the other party was a hedonistic young master, he still had the salary of the Morsen Clan, so he should still give the necessary respect.
Wallace laughed and said, "Don't say that, Mr. Zeke. I don't know anything about fighting, I'm not as good as my Adele. But now that the situation is so tense, how can I stay in the stronghold by myself? "
"I think you're in the way here." Said Adele impolitely.
Wallace rolled his eyes and said, "My dear sister, you should at least give me some face as a brother, especially on such occasions."
"If you want face, go to the battlefield and fish it up yourself." Said Adele angrily.
"It's not like you don't know that I can't beat you in a fight, let alone in a war. Otherwise, why do you think Grandpa put me in this position? "Wallace seemed to know his place. It was hard to hate him when he was so honest.
He stopped bickering with Adele and looked at Zeke, "What's the situation now?"
"In fact …"
Someone called out, "Excuse me, sir. We received a communication request from the Goliath family. "
Zeke's expression suddenly turned serious. He nodded and said, "Connect it."
A moment later, Toure's face appeared on the main screen. From the image behind him, he seemed to be moving very quickly, which caused the image to shake constantly. Toure's voice came from the screen, "Everyone from the Morsen Clan, our defensive area has fallen. Now, we need to enter your defensive zone to take shelter. Please allow passage. "
He did use the word 'request', but his tone was very firm. It didn't sound like a request, but more like an order. Zeke and Adele's expressions changed, while Wallace remained unruffled and did not reply. As the commander of the army, Zeke could only reply, "Mr. Toure, please allow me to ask Young Master Wallace to reply to you."
"Bullshit, there's not so much time for you to ask for instructions now. Hey, isn't that Wallace behind you? "Toure shouted on the screen," Wallace, it's you, right? "Hurry up and open the defensive line and let us in."
His voice was like a loud bell, scaring Wallace to the point that his entire body trembled. Adele, who was beside him, sighed in her heart. The Morsen Clan didn't even have a single man who could be put on the stage. Now that even a newly risen clan dared to be so rude, he didn't know what would happen in the future. Seeing Wallace's forehead sweating, Adele could only step forward and say, "Mr. Toure, what do you mean? An order? With all due respect, you don't have the qualifications. If you can't defend your own defensive area, you're incompetent. If you want to take refuge, the stronghold headquarters welcomes you. Or do you have the face to appear in the Blood Gate Stronghold? "
Adele's words almost made Toure spit a mouthful of blood on the screen. He snorted and said, "When did the Morsen Family have a woman to speak? I say, Wallace, are you still in charge of the Morsen Family?"
Wallace sighed and said to Zeke with a bitter smile, "Why don't we let Mr. Toure and the others in?"
Before Zeke could agree, Toure sneered on the screen, "That's right, Young Master Wallace. Otherwise, you won't be able to explain it to Mr. Kate if there's any conflict. No matter what, we're still allies. "
Then, he cut off the communication, clearly not giving Zeke a chance to object.
Zeke's expression was very ugly, and Adele was even more furious, "Are you crazy, Wallace!? God knows what else the Goliath Clan will do if we let them in like this. You can see that Toure has no respect for you or our clan. We don't need to intercept the pursuers for such a fellow. "
Wallace spread out his hands and said, "But he's right. The Goliath Clan is our ally. If we don't save our allies, who will believe in our Morsen Clan in the future? "
"That's also a matter of the future. Why do you care so much? Wallace, you're such an idiot! "
Wallace finally said angrily, "That's enough, Adele. I'm the one in charge here. Unless you ask Grandpa to remove me, you have to listen to me now! "
Adele sneered repeatedly.
Not long after, the Goliath army entered Morsen's family camp. Zeke had no choice but to arrange a barracks for them to rest and reorganize, while Toure brought his son Hamm and a few of his subordinates directly into the command hall. Seeing Wallace and the others, Toure laughed loudly and patted Wallace on the shoulder. "Thank you so much, Wallace," he said. "The Morsons finally have a man."
He deliberately looked at Adele.
Adele's face was covered with frost and she turned away from him.
Zeke coughed dryly and asked, "Mr. Toure, can you tell me what happened in your defensive area?"
"What else is there?" Toure snorted, "Those bastards invested 10,000 people in our family's defensive area, 10,000 people!" "How can we defend the rest of our troops when we send a portion of our troops outside? The Federation Military Department is even more of a bastard. I've asked for reinforcements several times, but I've been beaten back, saying that my troops are limited and I can't transfer them! "
"Then, didn't Mr. Toure try to intercept them? As far as I know, your defensive area is located in the Stone Forest, where the terrain is complicated. If it's done properly, it should be able to defend for a period of time. "Zeke frowned.
Toure immediately turned hostile, "Are you questioning my judgment?" It's just a mercenary leader. When I led my troops to war, you were just a small soldier. What complicated terrain? Bullshit, no matter how complicated the terrain is, it can't stop the enemy's superior forces. Do you understand? "
Zeke's face was filled with anger, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only shut his mouth.
Toure looked at Wallace and said, "Don't think that we're taking advantage of you just because we entered your defensive area. Wallace, I'm afraid it'll be difficult for either of us to defend the defensive area." But if we work together, that's another matter. I still have 1,500 soldiers to fight. If you leave the army to me, I can guarantee that those Catus won't even be able to enter the middle of the defensive area. "
Zeke and Adele's expressions changed at the same time. Neither of them had expected Toure to be so arrogant. Not to mention entering the defensive area to take refuge, he even tried to annex the Morsen Clan's army. Not to mention whether Toure had the ability to do so, even if he took ten thousand steps back, Toure would really be able to defend the defensive area. At that time, would this military contribution belong to the Morsen Clan, or would it belong to Goliath alone?
Wallace was not a tough person, but he was not stupid either. How could he not think of such a reason? He smiled and said, "I appreciate Mr. Toure's kindness. You must be tired from your retreat. You should stay in the camp and rest for a while. As for defense, I believe in Mr. Zeke's ability. Look, he's done a good job so far. "
Zeke raised his eyebrows and thought to himself that Wallace was not stupid enough to give the army away. He nodded and said, "Young Master, you flatter me."
This was originally a modest remark, but he didn't expect Toure to say, "Of course this is an exaggeration. What does a mercenary leader know? Wallace, don't tell me you don't trust me? "
Seeing that he was so tough, Wallace had no idea for a moment. Toure struck the iron while it was hot, and even released some of his aura, continuing to exert pressure, "Now that the army is pressing down, if you are a man, don't hesitate. Leave the army to me. There's nothing to hesitate about! "
"This, this …"
"Enough!" Adele could not see it and stood in front of Wallace. "This is the Morsons' camp, not your Goliath family," she said coldly. "Mr. Toure, please leave immediately. We still have to formulate a new strategy to clean up your mess!"
Toure's eyes widened. "A woman, there's no place for you to speak here. Get out of here!"
Adele sneered, "As long as this woman's surname is Morsen, there's a place for her to speak here. On the other hand, who allowed you, Goliath, to interfere in our family's internal affairs? "
"You!" Toure's eyes rolled around, and he was trying to find an excuse to get Adele away so that he could force Wallace to submit.
At this moment, the alarm suddenly sounded. Zeke could no longer care about this side and rushed to the tactical platform. A moment later, he came back with an ugly expression and said, "Something has happened. The enemy soldiers who passed through Mr. Toure's side have already joined up with their allies. Our defensive line can't withstand this pressure and is retreating. I'm afraid it won't be long before we have to retreat to the middle of the defensive area, or even deeper. "
"What's worse is that they have already surrounded our defensive area from the left and right with their superior strength."
