Zhao Manyan was stunned when he heard the words.
Judging from Mofan's tone, he did not sound like he was joking.
Mofan hung up the call before Zhao Manyan could ask any questions. He believed it was easy for someone to pick up a communication device when they were close to the Black Vatican. Mofan did not dare say anything further.
"Hey, hey, don't go!" Zhao Manyan collected his thoughts and quickly ran toward the female soldier.
The female soldier turned around with a disgusted look. She glared at Zhao Manyan. She seemed to be in a bad mood.
"We are the leaders of the Preventive Committee. My partner has just received an important message asking the Northguard Fortress to be on alert!" Zhao Manyan yelled at the female soldier.
The female soldier's rank was not low. It was easy to tell from the badge on her chest. Zhao Manyan had no idea where the General of the fortress was, nor did he know who had the authority to do so. He could only contact the person with the highest rank he could see!
"What do you think this place is!?" the female soldier snapped angrily.
A wastrel, a person who was disrespectful to the ancient Great Wall, was not worthy of a single word from him!
"I'm not joking. Tell the General of the fortress to be on alert right now!" Zhao Manyan said sternly. He did not forget to mention his identity as a member of the Preventive Committee. Even though it was only a temporary identity, it was still quite convincing.
At this time, the officers beside the female officer couldn't help but laugh out loud.
A tall, handsome man among them said, "I've seen many people come up with all kinds of excuses to get to know our boss, but it's my first time seeing someone using the same method as you. Do you know it's a serious crime to lie to us? Take back your nonsense, and we'll pretend we didn't hear it."
"Damn it, are you blind? I already told you I'm from the Preventive Committee!" Zhao Manyan was enraged.
Was the identity of the Preventive Committee just for show? These soldiers had never heard of it before. What was the point of having the Preventive Committee if they did not have any authority?
"What's your name?" the female officer asked.
"Zhao Manyan …" Zhao Manyan was going to use his fake name, but he realized that it would make his words even less convincing. He simply showed his national team badge and said, "I'm Zhao Manyan, a member of the national team during the World College Tournament. I'm now the vice-captain of the seventh Preventive Committee. I'm not kidding, and my friend Mofan won't risk his life, either. Now, at once, go and tell the commander-in-chief to be on alert!"
Zhao Manyan's voice was very loud. He was practically shouting at the group of people.
He believed in Mofan. He believed that Mofan would not use that kind of tone so easily. There were no superfluous words and no superfluous emotions.
The female officer looked at Zhao Manyan and couldn't help but look towards the north.
A few of his men were about to speak, but she raised her hand to stop them.
A moment later, the female officer said, "Be on full alert."
"I'm asking you to tell the commander-in-chief to be on full alert. What's the point of telling the commander-in-chief to be on alert?" Zhao Manyan was infuriated. He had the urge to beat the smug woman up right then and there.
The female officer looked at Zhao Manyan and said firmly, "I'm the commander-in-chief here."
…
The commander-in-chief was on full alert. It meant that all Battlemages, intelligence agents, and combat personnel, whether they were on duty, off-duty, waiting for orders, or in charge of important missions or logistics, were on the move to the designated battlefield as soon as possible.
The Northguard Fortress was a typical magic market and defensive fortress. It did not have many ordinary residents. Most of them were Magic Merchants, Hunters, soldiers, trainers, and members of the Magic Association. The place had always been under martial law due to the constant invasions of the Beijiang Desolate Beasts. It was rare for the whole fortress to be on full alert like this. Once the commander-in-chief gave the order to be on full alert, it meant that a battle was about to break out. Anyone who was on duty would be punished according to military law!
Commander Bin Wei went to the Stone Tower in the Northguard Fortress. She changed into the tight-fitting military uniform that she usually wore to keep her figure fit. Her temperament had completely changed. Zhao Manyan took a closer look at her and realized he had stumbled into someone on the same level as General Fenna. Most importantly, why did the female officer look so young and pretty? It was easy to mistake her for a pretty face.
"If there's any mistake, I'll hang your head on the fortress gate!" Bin Wei glanced at Zhao Manyan. Her first impression of the man was that he was frivolous and ignorant.
However, Bin Wei had no choice but to treat him seriously, as he was a member of the Preventive Committee and a member of the national team. If something bad happened because of her prejudice, she would have seriously neglected her duty as a general.
She was not familiar with the Preventive Committee, but she had received an order from her superiors. The commanders of the fortress had to refer to the information provided by the Preventive Committee to make decisions accordingly.
"Sir, aren't we making a mountain out of a molehill? Even if he's a member of the Preventive Committee, can't we just increase the level of alert? If there's any mistake, it's going to seriously affect your reputation. Many of the captains are going to take revenge on you for making the wrong decision," the tall and handsome male adjutant said.
"Yeah, so many people are eyeing your position. Maybe this kid was sent by our enemies to make you make a mistake so they can impeach you …"
"It's indeed more appropriate to increase the level of alert. If it doesn't work, we can increase the level of alert by two levels. That way, we won't be considered negligent or breaking the rules. Most importantly, if anything happens, the blame won't fall on you, "another advisor said.
…
"There's no sound at all. If we really need to be on full alert, how can there be no movement at all? What exactly is this woman, whose brain has grown to her chest, doing? Is she treating us like her baby soldiers?" On the city wall, a captain's dissatisfied voice came from the city wall.
"I knew nothing good would happen when a woman is given a position like this. We've been patrolling the night, and we're finally able to get some shut-eye, yet we're being summoned!"
"No, we have to find a way to drive that woman away. Everyone said she got the position because of that. I didn't believe it before, but it must be the case now!"
Voices of dissatisfaction were heard from the sentry towers, walls, watchtowers, towers, and relay stations at the frontline. As a qualified commander, they had to make the most accurate judgment based on the information they had gathered, including the current situation, the situation, and the number of enemies. The alert was the highest level of defense, similar to the city's Blood Alert. Even though most of the soldiers were Mages, it was still a serious precaution.
Mobilizing the soldiers, activating the barrier, activating the defensive equipment, relocating the supplies … even a drill would cost a lot of resources!
…
All sorts of voices were quickly transmitted back to Commander Bin Wei. Her eyes were still fixed on the north.
A few of her colleagues were already discussing how to minimize the losses from this mistake. It was obvious that this was a ridiculous order.
"I still don't understand why you're doing this," the aide-de-camp said in a deep voice beside Bin Wei.
"This place is called the North Garrison Tower. Our attention is always on the back. Do we really care about the north, or what's behind us?" Bin Wei asked.
"But …" the aide-de-camp did not know what to say.
"You're thinking about the enemy and your position, but I'm thinking about Yulin City, Anqin City, Feihuang City, and Zhongning City behind us … I'm thinking about the people behind us who can't fight. It's most likely the reason why the army needs female commanders. Men are always thinking about how to kill the enemy, how to clean up the mess, and how to make contributions, but they've forgotten about the most important thing. You keep saying that it's just a ridiculous decision, that there's no enemy … but what if there's an enemy? I won't risk the lives of so many people. Not only now, I'll still give the same order in the future. I don't care if they're scolding us or impeaching us, as long as I'm in this position, I won't let the Central Plains behind the North Garrison Tower be in any danger, "Bin Wei said.
Zhao Manyan was standing to the side. He was moved when he heard the words. His impression of the female commander had completely changed.
The walls of the fortress were on alert. The towers were fully occupied with Magicians. The Wind Magicians and Light Magicians on the sentry posts were ready to relay orders. The captains, commanders, and defenders of the fortress were fully focused on the situation in the north. Even the ancient Great Wall that extended across the fortress like a mountain ridge was a lot more intimidating than before!
Silence …
Regardless of whether it was the entire land covered in yellow soil or the bustling fortress, everything had become extremely quiet. No matter how dissatisfied and prejudiced they were, they could only curse and grumble in their hearts. During this period of alert, no one could question the commander-in-chief about this.
Zhao Manyan was extremely nervous, too. On one hand, he was worried about the danger that Mofan had mentioned. On the other hand, the cold aura of the Northguard Fortress had turned him into a member of the battle. It was a lot stricter than the defense of the fortress. It was obvious that the fortress had been through a lot of battles!
"Commander," the aide-de-camp could not help but speak up.
"Don't say a word!" Bin Wei stared at the land beyond the Great Wall. She was like a leopard with its hair standing on end, ready to pounce at any moment.
She seemed to have noticed something that the others were unaware of. She was extremely focused. A murderous aura burst out of her slender figure!
At this moment, her adjutants could also feel it.
Something was really coming …
