The 8th Infantry Brigade, which was part of Fortress 178 in the Northwest, set off from Stronghold 144. This time, the Northwest did not even bother to conceal their movements as they headed straight for the battlefield in the Central Plains.
Over the past few months, Hope Media, which had no presence in the Northwest, had set up branches in two of the main stronghold cities, Stronghold 178 and Stronghold 144.
Meanwhile, the publications in the other strongholds would be handled by the distributors.
For the entire war situation in the Central Plains, the high-profile announcement of the people from the Northwest participating in the fight against the enemy from the North was enough to lift everyone's spirits.
The Barrier Alliance had been established for more than 200 years, but this was probably the first time the people of the Central Plains had united again.
This land had experienced a long period of separatist rule. After a cultural gap appeared and the consortiums meticulously revised the religion, many people had almost forgotten that they were actually compatriots before The Cataclysm and should be united as a people.
But now, the Northerners' massacre seemed to have angered the entire Central Plains. Hope Media's newspapers also started appearing with the words "Uplifting" and "Victory Assured."
Fortress 178 agreed to Wang Yun's request to travel with the 8th Infantry Brigade. For the time being, Wang Yun, Ji Zi 'Ang, and Wang Yun's subordinates were not given any titles. It seemed they would have to wait until the war in the North was over.
Along the way, what surprised everyone was that Wang Yun and Zhang Xiaoman had unexpectedly become very good friends.
Actually, the two of them had very different personalities, and their habits and hobbies were not similar at all. Yet, they still ended up becoming friends!
Was it because Wang Yun liked being forthright in the Northwest? No.
Was it because of Zhang Xiaoman's warm hospitality? Also no.
It was because they both liked to ridicule Big Bluff.
This hard-earned friendship was completely maintained by the Great Hoodwinker's own efforts.
Sitting in the vehicle, Wang Yun asked, "When I parted ways with Big Bluff, I heard you were only a regimental commander. How did you get promoted so quickly? You said that your father works in a factory. Could it be a military supply factory with strong connections? "
Ji Zi'ang turned to look at Zhang Xiaoman. He was particularly interested in this matter because he wanted to know if there were any power classes in the Northwest.
"No, don't look at me like that." Zhang Xiaoman smiled and said, "My dad works in a factory that produces socks. I've only been promoted to brigade commander for a few days, but do you really think I can lead an infantry brigade to victory? I'm not a genius commander! "
Hearing this, Wang Yun and Ji Zi 'ang were stunned. It seemed that there was more to the matter of Zhang Xiaoman becoming a brigade commander.
Zhang Xiaoman chuckled. "Although I, Zhang Xiaoman, like to brag, I still know what I'm capable of. It was still fine when I was leading the Razor Sharp Company. But after I became the regimental commander, I realized there were too many things I needed to learn. I've only just learned how to be a regimental commander, yet I suddenly became a brigade commander. I even have to lead troops to victory. I can't do that."
"Could it be that Fortress 178 has another motive for sending you to the Central Plains?" Ji Zi 'ang wondered, "That doesn't seem appropriate. Now that the Central Plains is facing a war, it's time for us to unite. The Northwest has never participated in the struggles between the consortiums, so it doesn't make sense for them to send troops to carry out some other plan at this time."
"Don't, don't, don't get me wrong." Zhang Xiaoman chuckled and said, "Let me ask you a question first. Where is our Young Marshal from the Northwest now?"
"In the Central Plains. He was the one who saved us," Wang Yun said. "That's right.
Actually, I couldn't understand why the commander would assign me to the Central Plains at first. But later on, I realized that these troops are not meant for me but for the Young Marshal. "Zhang Xiaoman's eyes lit up." If the other veteran generals were sent to the Central Plains, they might not be willing to accept the arrangement. What if the Young Marshal can't command them? But it's different for me. The commander knows that I definitely won't go against the Young Marshal, so he sent me to fight this war. "
The other brigade commanders, such as Zhou Yinglong and Chai Zhilong, were all veterans who had been leading troops in battle for many years. They already had their own methods of marching and fighting.
So after they met up with Ren Xiaosu, these people might not necessarily listen to Ren Xiaosu.
It was not that they looked down on Ren Xiaosu or did not approve of Ren Xiaosu's status. It was just that they had their own opinions.
But it was different for Zhang Xiaoman. First of all, he felt a little guilty after being promoted like a rocket. Second of all, he had always listened to Ren Xiaosu's commands when he was still in the Razor Sharp Company. As a result, his position as a company commander only existed in name.
Therefore, Zhang Xiaoman could almost immediately guess why he was sent to the Central Plains. How was this a show of trust in his ability to command? It was obvious that they wanted him to assist Ren Xiaosu in bringing out the first group of troops under Ren Xiaosu's command!
As for Zhang Xiaoman, he had already become Ren Xiaosu's direct subordinate back when he was still in the Razor Sharp Company.
Moreover, after Wang Yun and Ji Zi 'ang requested to travel with them, the headquarters quickly gave them a straightforward answer. After all, these were two supernatural beings they were talking about. At that time, Zhang Xiaoman muttered to himself that Commander Zhang had really put in a lot of effort in order to help Ren Xiaosu train his subordinates.
But speaking of which, both Wang Yun and Ji Zi 'ang were saved by Ren Xiaosu, so they were naturally his direct subordinates.
After this battle, Ren Xiaosu would not have to start from scratch when he went to the front lines again. That was because he would already have a well-trained unit by then, even if it was just an infantry brigade.
Zhang Xiaoman suddenly asked, "How did the Young Marshal save you two? It wasn't mentioned in the letter, so why don't you tell me in detail?"
"At that time, the two of us were still in the secret prison when Big Bluff came in first. Then he realized he couldn't carry out the rescue on his own …." When Wang Yun said this, he could not help but get angry.
Then Wang Yun recounted what happened in detail and also told him about the destruction of Stronghold 31. Zhang Xiaoman sighed from the bottom of his heart. "Young Marshal is as fierce as ever …."
Ji Zi 'ang suddenly asked, "I heard from Big Bluff that all the commanders in the Northwest have to come from the Razor Sharp Company. Is that true? Did that Young Marshal also come from the Razor Sharp Company? "
"You've asked the right person about this." Zhang Xiaoman's face flushed. "I'm not talented, but I was the commander of the Razor Sharp Company where Young Marshal was! We followed the Young Marshal all the way from Shichuan Village to Stronghold 146 in the north …. "
"Wait a minute." Ji Zi 'ang was stunned. "You're his company commander, so why were you the one who followed him to the north?"
"Ahem, those details aren't important." Zhang Xiaoman said, "Putting those details aside, we did go through thick and thin with him back then. But after that battle, do you know why the entire Northwest submitted to him? "
"Because he destroyed Stronghold 146 by himself?" Wang Yun asked.
"No." Zhang Xiaoman shook his head and said, "There aren't many powerful supernatural beings out there, but they're not few either. Do we have to submit to powerful people? Not at all. We only submitted to him because he told us before heading north that none of us could die. And then, none of us really died. "
