Counterfeit Hero

Chapter 1421: Chapter 114: 1 Month

The commotion at the base quickly subsided.

Two Marshals, over a dozen Generals—such formidable power possesses enough deterrence anywhere in the cosmos. But for the bandit army, having a grand time fighting, it was Young Master Tian’s cold laugh over the loudspeaker that truly chilled the heart. A group of people immediately dropped their things and fled in panic.

A moment later, the bandit army base was already peaceful.

Outside the base, the empty streets were strewn with leftover stools, bamboo poles, and table legs, as well as a group of victims with bruises and swollen necks clutching their behinds, squirming and rolling on the ground, or staggering with their legs shaped like an ”N,” covering their crotches and wandering falteringly.

Even upon walking into the Military Department building at the bandit army base, several Hastings family military officers were still in shock.

Soldiers fighting is common anywhere. But that usually happens in bars or on street corners avoiding Constitutional Soldiers, with numbers ranging from three to five, to twenty or thirty. A messy brawl ends in bruises and that’s it. They had never seen such a scene. A group of junior officers were fixated downward, fists following their gaze...

The streets were full of these scoundrels, like Weasels, causing chaos with chickens and dogs alike. What kind of situation is this!

No wonder this unit is called the bandit army.

Perhaps too shocked, Isaac and Diana, who were planning to put Fatty in his place, both coincidentally remained silent. Following the group, they entered the Bandit Army’s Staff Department.

In the Combat Department hall, fifty virtual interstellar maps and battle situation maps lined up, blinking brilliantly. Hundreds of bandit army staff ran back and forth, each busy to the point their feet barely touched the ground.

Passing through the noisy hall and entering the conference room, everyone’s expressions were rather serious as they took their seats.

They had just received a report from the front line; the Fei Alliance Joint Army had lost another major town on Leifeng Star. Suss and Jiepeng not only strengthened their control area but also amassed heavy forces, forming two fists, threatening the Fei Alliance’s defense line wings. So far, the Western Alliance Forces had been fiercely attacking for a whole forty-eight hours without signs of stopping.

Feng Zhi pointed at the simulation map to explain the battle report. At the spot indicated by his electronic pen, the Fei Alliance Joint Army’s defense line was like a fragile dyke, barely holding in the face of the Western Alliance’s assault waves. Behind the defense line lay open plains, home to three important cities. Once the line fails, the Fei Alliance Army would collapse with no terrain to defend.

The situation on Leifeng Star is dire, and Canglang Star is not much better. The strategic advantage of the Northern Mountain Region line is fading with the arrival of significant Western Alliance reinforcements. The fighting between both sides is increasingly intense. If further troops are not deployed soon, the Western Alliance might achieve a strategic overwhelming advantage, potentially swallowing the Northern Mountain Region’s position as a stronghold.

By then, the Fei Alliance would again lose the second battlefield it opened and be forced into bloody contests with the Western Alliance on Leifeng Star. For the Fei Alliance, which seeks victory through economy and time, this is absolutely undesirable.

Feng Zhi’s electronic pen clicked open a file on the virtual screen, presenting a photo on the battle situation map.

”Rosenberg, Binart Empire Imperial Army Admiral, forty-five years old.” Feng Zhi pointed at the photo of a slightly pudgy middle-aged man with a round face and small eyes, saying: ”Graduated from the Binart Royal Military Academy, known as the Bear of the Army. Currently, he has taken over Suss Marshal Bellif’s command on Leifeng Star. According to intelligence, he has brought at least an entire battalion of Judgers.”

Although many had predicted from previous intelligence that the Binart Empire would send Judgers to join the Resk Battle, when Feng Zhi now confirmed this news, the atmosphere throughout the meeting room instantly became restless.

Some wore expressions like iron, silent. Others whispered anxiously, brows furrowed.

”Due to Rosenberg’s arrival, Bellif has now been pushed to the front line,” Feng Zhi pointed at the two Western Alliance attack arrows on Leifeng Star: ”The northern battle zone is the Western Alliance First Front Army on Leifeng Star. This front army, commanded by Bellif, has concentrated the forces of three Suss Army Groups, amounting to thirty-six divisions, and one Jiepeng Army Group with twelve divisions.”

As he spoke, Feng Zhi’s electronic pen crossed the vast, boundless land of Leifeng Star, pointing two thousand kilometers away to the south: ”The southern Western Alliance Second Front Army, although limited by terrain and fewer in number than the First Front Army, also concentrates twenty Su Divisions and at least ten Jie Divisions. This part is commanded by Jiepeng General Antoniscu.”

While speaking, the largest main screen in the conference room already displayed the situation map of the north and south battle zones. Around cities, satellite towns, villages, agricultural districts, transportation arteries, mountains, and rivers, the contrasting red and blue armies formed countless crisscrossing arrows; the entire Leifeng Star situation was now at full-fledged war.

Ending the battle report explanation, Feng Zhi returned to his seat. Finally, he said: ”Leifeng Star command center sent back the joint request from Admiral Chen Fengxi and Admiral Qian Bolin, hoping reinforcements can arrive early.”

The conference room was silent for a moment. Li Cunxin furrowed his brows, stared at the situation map without speaking, while Hastings half-closed his eyes, leaned his head against the wheelchair backrest, and pondered silently.

Having just arrived in Hanjing, Tony and the others, not yet integrated into the team, sat quietly on the side.
