Chapter 171: Difficult to Move Forward
the next day.

According to Ingril's speculation from the First Airborne Division of the Kingdom Army, since the Empire has disbanded all its troops, the commander-in-chief Foster will surely show up and surrender. As a senior general of this level, not only will he not be executed if he surrenders, he will also be treated preferentially.

But two days passed and Foster didn't make any move.

"Saul, in your opinion, what exactly is Foster planning?"

Ingrid exhaled a long puff of smoke: "Isn't disbanding the troops a surrender? But the troops have been disbanded, what else can Foster use to fight back? Is he going to fight in person?"

"Master, don't worry."

Brigade Commander Thor laughed and said, "Since Foster doesn't plan to come out, then we should go and ask him to come out in person. Don't forget that our kingdom is best at intelligence warfare. As long as we use the intelligence system, we will be able to find Foster sooner or later."

"Hahaha, that makes sense."

Division Commander Ingril's frown gradually relaxed. "It's thanks to your plan, Thor, that we've cornered the Imperial Army this time. It seems that the Imperial Army is not invincible. At best, they are just good at playing to their strengths. As long as our army also plays to its strengths, the Imperial Army will be easily defeated."

"The commander is wise."

Thor and Commander Ingrir looked at each other and smiled in tacit understanding at the same time.

Division Commander Ingrier put out his cigarette and said, "We received news from the front today that the Imperial Army's first line of defense has completely collapsed under the bombing support of our air force. It is estimated that the battle here will be over in less than half a month, and you and I can return to the capital to report on our work."

Thor's eyes flashed with excitement: "With your contribution, Master, should we go one step further this time?"

"Haha." Ingril smiled slightly: "It's hard to say, it's hard to say. But Thor, you have followed me for so long, this time when I go back, I will definitely ask the Kingdom's military for a position as a brigadier general."

"Thank you for your cultivation, Master."

Thor and Division Commander Ingrir have already begun to imagine the future. In their opinion, the Imperial Army can no longer cause any trouble. Since the overall situation has been decided, there is no point in imagining the future, and it is time to relax their tense nerves.

Even the commanding level has begun to slack off, let alone the lower-level soldiers?

The entire Kingdom Army, from top to bottom, has become lax to a certain extent.

But it was at the time when the Kingdom Army was most relaxed that the Imperial Army's plan of universal military service was officially launched.

Several middle-aged men, two young men and an old man set out in darkness.

"It's right here. I saw with my own eyes during the day that the Kingdom Army brought more than a dozen carriages of military equipment here."

"Lauren boy, I know this area well. I remember there is a hole in the back wall."

Ten minutes later, the Armament and Logistics Department was engulfed in flames, and some of the Kingdom's soldiers who were sleeping were even burned to death.

At the same time, outside a residential building on the sub-center street.

A dozen children were whispering.

"Watt, is that the drunkard?"

"There's no doubt about it. That drunkard is a lackey of the Kingdom's spy organization."

"Everyone get ready and follow me later."

A few seconds later, the drunkard died at the door. His face was blurred, and it was obvious that his head had suffered a huge blow from stones and iron objects. His death was extremely miserable.

The Kingdom Army was destined to have a sleepless night.

From the kingdom's regular troops to members of spy organizations, all suffered frenzied attacks from the civilian guerrilla forces.

After the successful sneak attack, these guerrilla forces dispersed and returned to their homes. In addition, they were civilians, so they could not be traced or pursued at all. The Wang Guojun suffered a complete loss.

It was bright.

Inside the headquarters of the First Airborne Division of the Kingdom Army, a loud noise echoed. Bang!
Division Commander Ingrier slammed the table and said, "Can anyone explain to me what is going on?"

All the officers in the conference room were silent.

Ingrir continued to roar: "One night! In just one night, you inexplicably lost more than 217 soldiers, 45 members of the spy organization, and trucks of important military supplies, and you didn't even see the enemy's face?"

Ingliel accepted the heavy loss.

But what made Ingril furious was that the enemy had done all these things with zero casualties, and even searched the troops until dawn, searching the entire area three times without finding a single Imperial soldier.

Is this a joke?
Is it possible that after expending huge amounts of manpower and resources and conducting three carpet searches, nothing is found?

Or are all the Imperial Army ghosts?

Just as Ingrid's face turned pale, a soldier walked in.

"Report."

"explain."

The soldier glanced at Ingril nervously, then said cautiously, "News came from the medical department. Brigadier General So, Sole...died of his injuries."

clack.

England sat down on the chair and didn't respond for a long time.

He didn't expect that his favorite subordinate, who had been chatting with him happily yesterday, lost his life in less than one night.

The funniest thing is that this senior officer of the kingdom did not die on the battlefield, nor even at the hands of imperial soldiers, but at the hands of a restaurant cook. The cause of death was even more ridiculous, he unfortunately died of poisoning.

Bang bang bang!
"What a joke! What a joke!"

Yinglier slammed the table in anger. "A brigade-level officer of the Kingdom died at the hands of a lowly cook. The most important thing is that the cook escaped. How can I write a report? Because of greed, a brigade-level officer of our army was unfortunately poisoned and died? Is this report going to make our First Division a laughing stock?"

For the entire morning, the roar of Division Commander Ingliel echoed throughout the entire command center.

The nightmare of the Kingdom Army had just begun.

In the next three days, the Kingdom's army was almost defeated by the Empire's civilians.

Attacks in the middle of the night, setting fire to camps, poisoning water sources, looting and destroying supplies...even patrolling the streets had to be done with caution, and going to the toilet also required the whole team to go together, because if you were alone, you would most likely die in some dark corner.

For the first time, the Kingdom Army felt fear.

Especially the patrol troops, who even felt that they could oppress civilians at will in the past, have now turned into bloodthirsty beasts, and the huge mental pressure made them feel extremely tormented.

This is true not only for regular troops but also for spy organizations.

Members of the spy organization are now all trembling with fear, fearing that their identities will be discovered by neighbors or friends, because once their identities are exposed, they will be unable to live or die.

The sequence of the pyramids seemed to begin to reverse at this moment.

The Kingdom's army and spy organizations, which were originally at the top of the food chain, have changed from predators to prey. Even if they are on high alert, there will always be loopholes, and the empire's civilian guerrillas will definitely seize these loopholes.

Vega smiled as he listened to the scout's report.

The civilian guerrilla forces spread like wildfire, and word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Even Vega himself was not sure how big they had grown to, because the number was too large to be counted. The current situation was far beyond Vega's expectations.

"It looks like we can start the third step now."

Veiga muttered to himself. The war situation had developed virally to this stage. The next thing to do was to drive the Kingdom Army out of Kareni City completely. If everything went well, they could even retain at least 1/2 of the enemy's main force.
