In the center of the battle, the violent tornado dissipated, the red and blue intertwined and dissipated, and the Lion King commander's body slid backward, leaving a clear mark on the ground.
"He really withstood the Lion King Commander's punch?"
"This is no longer resistance, this should be defeat!"
The originally quiet military formation suddenly became noisy. At least those people did not see Lin Zihan take action, nor did they see clearly what happened in the interweaving of energy in the tornado.
"Isn't Commander Lion King letting his guard down?"
"Are you kidding? The Lion Commander has always regarded the prestige of victory and defeat as more important than life. How could he..."
"..."
The noise in the military formation had begun to become chaotic and even agitated. At least they did not believe that the Lion Commander, one of the three majestic commanders of the three armies, could be defeated so easily by such a young man. .
"I lost!" The lion king commander stood up and responded generously, his voice loud and clear, resounding through the sky.
As the three words spoken by the Lion King echoed in the military formation, the soldiers who were talking about them also fell silent for an instant, leaving only the sound of hunting.
Lin Zihan raised the corners of his mouth into a smile, showing a kind face. He put his left hand behind his back and clenched his fist hard, resisting the numbness and trembling of his arm.
"The lion commander is indeed powerful. Now let's go back to the headquarters to discuss the next military arrangements." Lin Zihan deliberately said the word "discuss" very strongly.
The surrounding military formations retreated in an orderly manner, like bricks being pulled away piece by piece. Within a moment, there was no one in front of the headquarters.
…
"Are you crazy? You don't know what his strength is or who he is. You insist on being with him..." Eucommia leaned close to Lin Zihan's ear and lowered her voice. Even though she lowered her voice, But it was also full of indignation and confusion.
Lin Zihan just raised his head and glared at Eucommia ulmoides without saying a word. There was a bit of ferocity in his eyes as he moved from Eucommia ulmoides' face to the lion king commander.
Eucommia followed his gaze and saw only the defeated Lion King commander. At this time, his face was not as discouraged as before, but instead had a smile, just like Lin Zihan's smile before leaving the military formation.
"General Director." Inside the general headquarters, the Lion Commander stood at the door of the room, his broad shoulders blocking the door like an intruder.
"What? Does the Lion King Commander have any other questions?" Lin Zihan sat on his seat, took his left hand out from behind his back, gently placed it on his handle, and looked at the Lion King Commander in front of him.
"..." The Lion King commander did not speak, he just looked at Lin Zihan in front of him, looked at the new commander-in-chief, and suddenly knelt on one knee in front of Lin Zihan.
"My name is Commander Lion King. I'm here to discuss the next military action, not to hold anyone accountable." Lin Zihan said with a smile.
The two fought in front of the headquarters. Lin Zihan had achieved his goal of establishing his authority. Naturally, he did not intend to embarrass the Lion King Commander. What's more, Lin Zihan believed that the Lion King Commander was loyal to the North and to Lan Luoran, and naturally he would also keep it in his heart. The lion king is regarded as the minister of the humerus.
However, before becoming Lin Zihan's confidant, this minister of humiliation first became the stepping stone for Lin Zihan to establish his power in the military department.
"What happened today was that I took too heavy a blow. I hope..." The Lion King commander obviously didn't listen to Lin Zihan's words and continued to talk to himself.
"What does Commander Lion King think of the No. 3 Front?" Lin Zihan ignored what Commander Lion King said and said to himself, directly interrupting Commander Lion King to continue speaking.
"..." The Lion King commander was stunned. He looked at Lin Zihan in front of him. He was stunned for a few seconds, then stood up suddenly and walked to the holographic map in front of Lin Zihan.
"The third front, the junction of the Empire, the North, and Dongliu, is the front with the most uncertain situation at present. If Dongliu joins the war to support the Empire, it will be a sword hanging behind the North."
The Lion King commander stood in front of the holographic map, as if he had changed. His eyes looking at the map were full of brilliance, and his expression was full of energy. He did not look like a Lion King who had just been defeated.
Eucommia ulmoides looked at the Lion King Commander, feeling a little confused, but she didn't say anything. She just stood behind Lin Zihan and watched quietly.
"If I hand over the No. 3 Front to you, can you guarantee that no enemy can cross the No. 3 Front?" Lin Zihan looked at Commander Lion with questions, waiting for an answer from Commander Lion.
Even though Lin Zihan had already guessed this answer, he still hoped to hear it from the commander of the Lion King. Only in this way could Lin Zihan safely mobilize the Northern Wilderness Army, withdraw from the Northern Wilderness position, and fully engage in the frontal battlefield.
"I can guarantee that no one from Dongliu or the Empire will ever cross the third front." The Lion Commander stood up straight and said solemnly.
"Perhaps you don't need to be careful about Dongliu. What you need to be careful about is the Empire's Black Armored Army that takes advantage of Dongliu. It is the most elite force that the Empire can mobilize on the frontal battlefield. However, we have never seen it on the frontal battlefield since the war began."
Lin Zihan looked at the formation map in front of him worriedly, looking at the battle lines between Nandu and Ximo. The three major border regions and the Imperial Federation were at war at the same time. The battle lines were so long that it was difficult for the Imperial Military Council to take into account the overall situation by itself. .
"What I can give you is only half of the original divisions of the Red Lion Army. As for the other half, Seamo may need support. I hope you can understand."
Lin Zihan's face was heavy, and he seemed to be weak and even lacking confidence when he said these words.
Obviously, Lin Zihan was already prepared for the Lion King Commander's rejection. Even Lin Zihan knew that this was tantamount to relinquishing power, and the Lion King Commander might be furious.
To Lin Zihan's surprise, the Lion King Commander just glanced at Lin Zihan. That look was casual and a bit...kind.
The lion commander's eyes only glanced at Lin Zihan but still fell on the huge holographic projection, looking at the deployment above.
"Okay~!" After a long silence, the Lion King Commander agreed loudly. The answer was very simple and neat. The Lion King Commander only said this word after thinking clearly.
Lin Zihan's face was filled with a strange expression, not excitement, but guilt. It was guilt for the commander of the Lion King. From beginning to end, this minister who was left behind by Lan Luoran was a pawn that Lin Zihan exploited.
"It's just that the Red Lion Army has just withdrawn. Let them rest for three days. I will lead the troops to the third front in three days." The Lion Commander looked at Lin Zihan, hesitated for a few seconds, and then said.
"Okay~!" Lin Zihan responded with a loud voice, but it was a little unclear, as if he had a mouthful of water in his mouth.
"Ahem..." Lin Zihan cleared his throat with difficulty, "Three days later, I will personally issue military orders to the Lion King Commander."
Inside the headquarters, it suddenly became eerily quiet. Everyone was stunned, just like wooden sculptures, maintaining their movements blankly.
The No. 3 front was a front that even the Northern Wasteland Army thought was dangerous. It was a barren salt-alkali land and rugged boulders tossed ashore by huge waves.
Everyone knew what it meant to go to the third front in this battle, but the Lion Commander didn't seem to care at all.
Half of the Red Lion Legion's troops had to resist the Empire's Black Armored Legion with almost no support.
…
In the Dongliu Co-main Hall, the co-director of Dongliu cities, Haiyang Haiyang, the actual person in charge of Dongliu, summoned the co-main hall and the city lords of the seven main cities for a meeting in the co-main hall.
On one side of Ren Haiyang, the black-robed secret hider stood like a ghost next to Ren Haiyang's seat. He raised his head slightly and looked at the thirteen people who had arrived from under the gloomy hood.
"Co-owner~!"
The people who came all saluted Ren Haiyang and crossed their thumbs in front of them. Several people bowed and bowed to Ren Haiyang before taking their seats.
"I have called you here today. I believe you all know what happened. The three inner regions of the empire and the other three border regions have violated federal laws and have gone to war.
Although Dongliu is not affected by the war now, it won't be long before the empire or the people from the three-border alliance will definitely not allow Dongliu to remain neutral. Ren Haiyang said, looking at the people sitting down.
Those sitting in the co-main hall all glanced at Ren Haiyang and noticed the black robe behind Ren Haiyang.
Wearing a black robe inlaid with flowing gold, although the clothes looked a little old, it was still difficult to hide the nobility and mystery that the clothes should have. The people who participated in this meeting were not fools, and they naturally saw that person.
"Co-owner, the Federation has not had any conflict with Dongliu for many years. Whether it is military affairs or commerce, Dongliu follows freedom and peace in its external affairs. Do we have to participate? Can't we remain neutral?"
At the other end of the long table, an old man in plain white clothes spoke slowly. His voice was slightly hoarse and he spoke very slowly. He obviously had many concerns in his heart.
"Neutral? Do you know the forces behind the Empire and the Three Borders?" Ren Haiyang looked at the old man at the end and smiled bitterly.
"You are all familiar with Ying and Shenghui. The general commander of the Northern Territory is Ying's Shadow Sect. There is support from Shenghui in the empire. Don't you know the rumors about the two organizations?"
Ren Haiyang said with a hint of helplessness in his eyes. The two major organizations represent two completely different concepts, one breaks the balance and seeks the truth, and the other abides by the same and is safe under order.
"I wonder what the co-owner thinks?" A relatively young man said, that is the city lord of Haicheng, a city whose ocean area exceeds the land area.
"This is the Secret Hidden, the person that both Shadow and Shenghui have been looking for." Ren Haiyang said, pointing his finger at the black robe behind him.
"Him?" The young man who just spoke smiled jokingly, with a mocking smile on his face, "A guy wearing a hood, is it possible that he can save Dongliu from the flames of war?"
"Yes, but you need to lend it to the empire." The black-robed secret hider said slowly, his tone calm, even cold.
"Isn't this still biased in favor of the empire? Won't the land bordering the southern and northern territories still bear the flames of war?" Someone on the long table was immediately dissatisfied and said loudly.
"I can guarantee that neither the Northern Territory nor the Southern Territory will take action against Dongliu. They only need Dongliu to lend a way to the empire." The black-robed secret hider said confidently.
"Moreover, don't you want to know what the reason for all these years of fighting between Shadow and Shenghui is? Don't you want to know the true origin of the empire, and don't you want to know the true origin of the word Hoshino?"
The black-robed secret hider said so, looking at the people at the long table.
