Since Zhang Gongbo raised the flag of rebellion, kidnapped the marshal, and the front-line generals returned to Chang'an one after another, Leng Yuan, the "vanguard general", had actually been in name only. What she could mobilize now was the Eagle Flag Army in its headquarters and a small number of the wilderness expedition forces that never retreated. After several days of loss, the number of troops was less than 100,000. Although it was still a force that should not be underestimated, it no longer had the ability to fight the main force of the federal forces.

There is no way, Leng Yuan can only give up the encirclement of the sea-surrounding war zone. In fact, there is no encirclement, which has long been full of holes and rags. If he does not evacuate, he will only be able to be completely siege and annihilate.

At this moment, the generals left on the front line gathered at the Eagle Flag Army Mobile Command, a 16-wheeled special large military vehicle carrying a 20-square-meter secret room equipped with a complete set of strategic command equipment, which was originally designed to deal with the decapitation operation.

The atmosphere inside the mobile command center was dead, and the generals were hanging their heads. Leng Yuan was smoking cigars one after another. From the front line to the fourth day now, she couldn't close her eyes for a minute. Her tired eyes were covered with blood, and thick dark circles also appeared on the face of the eagle general. She threw the cigar she had finished smoking on the ground, and dozens of cigar butts were already lying there.

Leng Yuan said hoarsely and tiredly: "According to the current situation, we can only go back to Chang'an like other generals to regain the marshal, consolidate the military power in our hands, and finally reorganize the scattered new forces, and use the strategic depth of the huge territory to drag the Federation into a protracted war, fighting for a few years, or even more than ten years."

The generals were silent. Everyone knew that Leng Yuan's strategy was only a few dozen words, but the protracted casualties it would bring. How many people would die, millions, tens of millions, or even world wars that exceeded the old generation?

Based on the current birth rate and mortality rate, the population has already grown on a large scale. If the army continues to rise for years, no one dares to assert that this collapsed world can withstand how many casualties and injuries.

But one thing is certain that the Federation will not give up the territory that has been in operation for 12 years, nor will the Empire give up the countryside that has been passed down for thousands of years. For interests and beliefs, no one will retreat. As the Grand Marshal said, there are only two results in this war: complete victory or complete defeat.

"3rd." Leng Yuan raised three fingers and passed by the generals, saying firmly, "There is still 3 days left for us. Luo Hanlin was ordered to guard the Grace Ridge. He has been guarding for 4 days. In another 3 days, he has the right to retreat. The only time left for us is the last 3 days! Regain the marshal, issue a national war mobilization, and reorganize the new force. These will be completed within 3 days. Otherwise, the federal army will go directly to the inland through the Grace Ridge, and we will have no chance."

The generals looked at each other, and they all saw the affirmation in each other's eyes. Thunder God, who had been defending Fengyun Pass for seven days and retreated to the millions of insects, sat in the sad ridge, which made them feel at ease.

However, this peace of mind shattered after it lasted less than a minute.

Before Leng Yuan could discuss the specific plan to retake the marshal with the generals, a messenger suddenly stumbled in. The expression on his face was neither happy nor worried, but a creepy and heartbroken. He said nothing, his knees softened, and he knelt on the ground without any hesitation, and began to cry silently.

During the war, Leng Yuan was the most despised of such weak things as tears. She slapped the table and shouted: "If you have something to say!"

"General..." The messenger raised his head blankly, his face covered with tears, and his hands trembled with bloody letters. His voice trembled as he sobbed, "Luhanlin... surrendered..."

As soon as this sentence came out, it was like a thunderbolt from the clear sky. The atmosphere of the entire mobile command room completely solidified, as if it was falling into an ice cellar. At the same time, the expression of each general was solidified.

Luo Hanlin... surrendered? The powerful Thunder God... surrendered?

The commander held the letter in a daze and said in a daze: "According to the observation post, the federal military flag has been planted throughout the Sad Ridge... All the Luohanlin and the remaining soldiers were captured, and this is the Luohanlin's personal letter..."

Leng Yuan still couldn't believe what she heard. Her first reaction was to drag the messenger who lied about military affairs out and shoot him. However, when she saw the bloody letter, she subconsciously took it and opened it.

"The last general is incompetent. Before the seven-day appointment arrived, he was unable to defend the Sorrow Ridge and had a humiliating military order. He is willing to abandon his reputation for a lifetime and surrender to the enemy, protect the innocent people, and leave a useful body to serve the country in the future." The reason why the letter was covered in blood is because every word was written in blood as paint.

If the messenger had not reminded him, no one could have linked this bloody letter that revealed the breath of the end of the road with the powerful Thunder God.

What exactly happened on the Sad Ridge? This is no longer important, and no one will care about it, because now a fact that no one wants to or even dares to see is placed in front of you: The Sad Ridge is lost, and there is no barrier between the inland and the federal army of the empire!

"He wants to guard himself! No one forces him! He pleads for me! He swears that he will guard the Sorrow Ridge!!!" The days of fatigue and the bad news of Luo Hanlin's surrender made Leng Yuan's mood completely out of control. She tore off Luo Hanlin's blood book like crazy, knocked over the table, and shouted heart-wrenchingly, "I told him that he must guard the Sorrow Ridge for seven days! Now that the seven days have not arrived, I don't care what happened on the mountain!!! He died, his entire army was wiped out, and even if he was bombarded as a scumbag by the Federation, he had to die in the Sorrow Ridge for me!!!!!!"

The messenger said in vain: "Just now, we received a message from the federal troops. The Grace Ridge was captured and the villagers were not injured. The Federation gave them water, dry food, and travel expenses, and released them all. On the side of the defenders, more than 700 imperial soldiers, including Luo Hanlin, were captured. They were willing to exchange prisoners with us, and made special requests that if they encounter the Federal Brigadier General Novina, they must not be hurt. Novina should be exchanged for Luo Hanlin."

Exchange of prisoners is not a rare thing, it is too common in war, but a terrible fact is hidden in the words of the messenger just now...

The Federation specifically named Luo Hanlin for Novena. What does this mean? Who cares most about Novena in the Federation? There is no doubt that it is Agronso.

Novena's whereabouts are unknown now, at least it is certain that she has not been captured yet, but the Federal Government is eager to name this condition, and there is only one possibility: this is being signaled by Agronso!

In other words, Agronso was still alive, perhaps seriously injured, so he could not even come forward to command the army, but at least he was still alive, and conveyed instructions to his subordinate officers to exchange prisoners.

"No! Coward!! Traitor!!!" Leng Yuan grabbed Li Shunsheng standing beside him with a crazy heart, and shouted, "Let Lucky contact Miyin Risako, find Novina, and shoot him on the spot! Do you understand? Make a hole in Novina's head and shoot him on the spot!! I want to hang her body on the military flag so that every federal officer can see it!!"

Li Shunsheng felt a chill when he heard this and asked in a deep voice: "General, that Arhat Forest..."

During the long silence, the crazy look on Leng Yuan's face gradually faded, but the chill became stronger and stronger. The dark purple pupils had no emotions. All the passion for drinking and having fun disappeared, leaving only a suffocating darkness: "Luhanlin is not worthy of living."
