Of course, some people would say that after Udian escaped from the prison, Mai Wei sent a large number of troops to capture him. She didn't want to kill him. She just wanted to send him back to that place where there were only prisoners and jailers.
------------
"Kill them!"
"I would rather let the world down than let the world down!”Following Marcazaton's frenzied speech, the third bloody suppression of the Army Fortress officially began!
Bright sabers wreaked havoc on the unarmed civilians, shiny spears roared on the defenseless civilians, corpses dyed the Mother River of the Army Fortress red, and countless passersby drank the Meng Po soup that forgot their mortal memories.
In the Army Fortress, Chen's command center...
Chen Zheng stared blankly at the latest news from Pan Reese. It seemed like he was thinking…
"The political system of the Army Fortress has collapsed, but Macazaton still has the ability to turn the tide. I think we need to add fuel to the fire at this time!”
When Chen Yu thought of this, he immediately summoned the captain of his personal guards, the man in the cloth armor, and carefully instructed,"
" The army fortress has become a huge wolf's den. The weak civilians will soon become the biggest victims. Buyi Jia, prepare your men immediately and gather these civilians who are about to be slaughtered. They are a very important force to us!”
Under Chen's encouragement, the army of the Trade Federation began to develop rapidly. They took in bandits and refugees from all over the world and gave them weapons to form a large-scale army. Chen handed all the training tasks to the junior officers sent by the Cloth Armor and Mai Wei, while he continued to pay attention to the situation in the fortress.
In September, the military training had achieved some results. Chen decided to use this unit to cooperate with Udian's military operations in the periphery. After some research, Chen had chosen a relatively remote area of the fortress as the Burning Legion's defenses there were weak.
Chen took down several towns without much effort. He pulled the officials of the Burning Legion out of their houses and beat them up. Then, he robbed them of their belongings and expelled them. The moon flag that symbolized Udian's army was raised.
After Macazaton received the news, he was furious. He decided to personally lead the army to eliminate the rioting people and the rebels.
He clamored all the way to the border of the fortress, killing all the civilians along the way as sacrifices to the flag. This clearly shattered the last bit of hope in the hearts of the civilians.
Hence, the heat wave of resistance grew even stronger…
" I can't take it anymore…"
" Pick up your weapon…"
" Resist, resist, resist…"
The army was constantly harassed, and by the time Macazaton and Chen's main forces fought, seven days had passed.
From September 3rd to the 10th, Chen's army took down several cities with unstoppable momentum. Chen did not even need to do anything. The local residents had already gathered and tied up the Burning Legion officials.
Countless people were looking forward to it, and the surging crowd flowed down like a river.
"Are they here?" The merchant asked,"
"Are they here?" The farmer was looking forward to it.
"Are they here?" The empty voice pierced through the sky, soaring through every village in the fortress.
" They're here..." Chen roared, and the coalition of merchants rushed toward the corrupt regime. Bright flags fluttered in the wind, and shiny broadswords gave people new hope.
"Charge in!"
"Revenge!"
Under Chen's leadership, the power of the commercial alliance army expanded rapidly. The number of soldiers fighting alone increased to 10,000.
Although the members were uneven, their combat strength was not weak at all. Coupled with the spies lurking in the fortress, the commercial alliance continued to advance triumphantly.
One, two, eight, ten, from the villages to the tribes, from the county to the state capital, the flood of the alliance army scattered in all directions like dandelions.
"We must kill all these people!" Under Macazaton's instructions, the Burning Legion was fully engaged in the battle against the Merchant Alliance.
In the early stages of the battle, due to the absolute advantage in numbers, the allied forces clearly had the upper hand. Soon, the Burning Legion was compressed into a small space.
However, their anxiety had ruined the troops that Chen had built.
Perhaps all soldiers had the disadvantage of being arrogant. After winning several victories in a row, the pride of the army began to spread.
"It's really great!"
"I didn't expect the mighty Burning Legion to be a paper tiger!”
"Then what are we waiting for? Continue to advance and chase Macazaton out!”
"Go!"
Different from Udian's army, this group of soldiers had a short training time and lacked combat experience. Although Chen had requested to change the offensive strategy to passive defense and wait for Udian's army to cooperate from the inside and outside, they were all rejected by Panres. Even the commoner felt that Prince Chen was a little timid sometimes.
From then on, Chen was excluded from the command system of the Trade Federation, and his position was gradually replaced by the personal guards, the commoner armor, who were gradually moving closer to Panres.
On the 11th, the two armies met on a narrow road…
On the first day, both sides attacked tentatively, so their movements were not big. After throwing down more than a dozen corpses, they hastily withdrew their troops.
The next day, Marcazaton had a rough idea of the situation of the merchant alliance. It was completely different from what he had seen on the streets a few months ago. This army must have received a certain level of military training.
On the first day of the battle, the commander of the commercial coalition army was far less capable than the previous one. If that was the case, then there was only one possibility: the opposing army was having internal strife.
In order to confirm whether this was true, Macazaton decided to launch a new round of probing attacks. The Envoys of Hatred and the Envoys of Abyss were released in advance. Their powerful strength would be the best test on the battlefield.
"Your Highness, the enemy is out!”The commander of the alliance army pointed at the army formation with rolling sand and said,"
"En, another group of people came to send him off. Tell our brothers to kill him!”Pan Reese replied indifferently,"
The commoner frowned, obviously disagreeing with Panres. He coughed lightly and said,"
"Your Highness, the enemies are the elites of the Burning Legion, the Abyssal Messengers and the Hatred Messengers!”
"So what? Will they still be a match for the commercial coalition?”Pan Reese said arrogantly,"
"Pass on my orders, kill them!"
"Kill them!" With a single order, the drums sounded and the soldiers of the three armies followed suit.
The two armies faced off against each other, and the highly skilled Envoys of Hatred (Abyssal Envoys) quickly tested the strength of their opponents. They were not iron-blooded soldiers, but just some slightly trained mercenaries and servants.
"What should we do? Should he kill them now or pretend to retreat?”
"Of course it's the latter. I think His Highness Macazaton is preparing a generous gift for these idiots!”
"You're right!"
"Retreat!"
With this order, the Burning Legion retreated like a tide. Although they were retreating, they were still very organized. The middle troops retreated first, and the left and right wings slowly closed in, forming a crab's pincer. After protecting the middle troops, the two wings fought and retreated.
"Haha, the enemy has retreated again. This is all Macazaton can do!”Panres shouted in the tent,"
"Wait, wait, Your Highness!" Cloth Armor, who was proficient in combat, could tell that the Burning Legion was pretending to retreat. He kindly advised Pan Rui to die, but the latter rolled his eyes at him.
"Do you believe that I will also strip you of your command?”Pan Reese raised his eyebrows and was about to flare up.
Thinking of His Highness Chen's warning, the expression on the man's face changed and he replied kindly,"
"I was a little cautious, but after thinking about it for a moment, I feel that Your Highness 'words are reasonable. The Burning Legion would not be able to withstand a single blow under Your Highness' command!”
"Haha, you are too modest…I am at most similar to the undefeated Yudian…"
Hearing Panres insult his master, the first was furious, but he remembered Chen's instructions." Endure, endure, and endure. When the army you bribed with money dissipates, it will be the best time for us to counterattack. Cloth Armor thought coldly in his heart, Idiot, I'll let you live a few more days.
At this moment, the Burning Legion had already retreated to the battle formation, and Panres was still arrogantly clamoring. There was a wave of flattery around him, which was the result of money being bribed.
If he wanted to die, he had to do it as soon as possible. The cloth armor returned to the military camp.
