I, Qi Tongwei, cultivate demonic arts and will begin my reign as emperor in northern Myanmar!

I hope my brother isn't in any trouble.

Just as he was thinking this, a voice suddenly came from outside.

"Commander, Su Qidu of the border guards sent a box, saying it's a gift for you."

Gift?

Upon hearing this, Johnny frowned deeply.

He and Su Qidu are old enemies.

They had clashed more than once, and each wanted to kill the other.

Why would Su Qidu be so kind as to give him a gift?

The other party probably has ill intentions!

Could it be something like a bomb?

Startled by the thought, he stepped out of his tent and quickly gave orders to the soldier carrying the box.

"Stay away and open the box."

The soldier seemed to realize something, his face turned pale, and his legs began to tremble.

However, he dared not disobey the commander's orders.

Because he knew Johnny very well, and the other party was a cruel and ruthless person. If he disobeyed orders, he would probably be executed even if he wasn't killed by the bomb, or he might even suffer a fate worse than death!

He could only suppress his fear, walk to a safe distance, place the box on the ground, and open it with trembling hands.

"what!"

When he saw the bloody human head in the box, he screamed in terror.

"what happened?"

"What's in the box?"

Seeing that there was no danger, Johnny asked in a low voice.

The soldiers were too frightened to speak.

He recognized Johnny's brother, Zach, who frequently visited the military camp.

This is the commander's own brother!

He dared not say it!

Johnny seemed to realize something was wrong and quickly walked towards the box.

When he saw his brother's head in the box, his mind went blank and he almost fainted.

The strategist, Cai Rang, reacted quickly and caught him.

"Commander, are you alright?"

Snapped!

Johnny turned around abruptly and slapped Cai Rang hard across the face.

"Cai Rang!"

"It was all your bad idea! You insisted on making him negotiate with Qi Tongwei. He was my only brother, and now that he's dead, I'll make you pay with your life!"

Johnny was burning with rage!

He drew his sidearm and was about to shoot Cairang.

His face turned deathly pale, and he collapsed to the ground in fright.

He never expected that Qi Tongwei would do something so unconventional!

What happened to this world?

Isn't it said that envoys are not to be killed in war? Why did Qi Tongwei kill Zack?

He closed his eyes in despair, preparing to face death.

Johnny was about to pull the trigger when one of his trusted men suddenly stopped him.

"Commander, please calm down!"

"This matter is not the strategist's fault; it's Qi Tongwei who is too cruel!"

"He killed your brother, a blood feud that cannot be forgiven. You should preserve your strength and wait for the day when you can rise again and avenge Zack with your own hands!"

"We still need the strategist; you can't kill him!"

After being persuaded by his confidant, Johnny calmed down.

Yes!

Under his command, the strategist Cai Rang always played the role of a wise man, offering him advice and suggestions. No one was smarter than Cai Rang.

Given the current predicament, perhaps only Cai Rang can offer them a glimmer of hope.

Thinking of this, his anger gradually subsided.

"Strategist, this matter really has nothing to do with you. I should hold a grudge against Qi Tongwei. Peace talks are impossible now, and the enemy's offensive is so fierce. We must break through, or we will all die here!"

"Don't worry about anything else, just think of a solution quickly, time waits for no one!"

He breathed a slight sigh of relief, having narrowly escaped death.

He frowned and thought for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up.

"By the way, Commander, neither the border guards nor we have many heavy weapons. After the battle just now, their heavy weapons have probably been almost used up."

“There is a forest to our east with dense vegetation, and we planted a lot of landmines there just in case. We can retreat through that road.”

"Furthermore, their target is you, Commander. If we find someone of similar build to you to wear your clothes and impersonate you, we can definitely confuse them and attract the enemy's attention."

"This way, we have a better chance of breaking through."

Upon hearing Cai Rang's advice, Johnny felt a surge of relief. Fortunately, he had heeded his confidant's advice and hadn't killed the strategist; otherwise, they would still be struggling with how to break through the encirclement.

"Okay, let's do it your way. (bedj) Leave a group of men behind, give them all the weapons and ammunition, and let them hold the position to the death. We'll lead the rest of the retreat!"

Johnny made a decision quickly.

He knew in his heart that he was doomed to suffer this loss, and they couldn't take too many people with them. After all, if there were too many people, they would become a bigger target, and the mountain roads to the east were rugged and not conducive to their breakout.

Therefore, he had no choice but to abandon the main force and lead a small group of defeated soldiers to break through the encirclement first.

"Your Majesty, the Commander is wise."

……

Border defense positions.

Upon hearing his subordinate's report, Su Qidu's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

Under their fierce offensive, the enemy had almost completely lost their armor and weapons and was in complete disarray; many even knelt down and surrendered.

But just now, the enemy's attack suddenly became fierce again.

The weapons and ammunition were poured down on them as if they were free, which did not cause them too many casualties, but it did slow down their advance to some extent.

He felt something was off.

The enemy's morale had clearly collapsed, so why did their attack suddenly become so fierce?

not good!

He suddenly realized something, and his expression changed drastically.

"Pass down the order: advance rapidly, at all costs, and break through the National Alliance Army's command post in the shortest possible time!"

"Yes, my lord."

Watching his men surge forward like a tidal wave, Su Qidu's eyes revealed a deep sense of worry.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

He had a feeling that Johnny was likely to run away!

This is a complete waste of resources; they're even abandoning their own base!

Knowing Johnny as he did, he was perfectly capable of doing such a thing.

Moreover, Johnny has a strategist named Cairang who is quite capable. In the past, when they clashed with the National Alliance forces, they always suffered losses because of this man.

So he was a little worried.

Johnny will likely abandon this place and break out on his military advice!

……

The National Alliance forces were already exhausted from wave after wave of relentless attacks by the border guards.

Now that they no longer have heavy weapons, and ordinary bullets are unlikely to inflict effective damage on the border guards, their own men are falling like weeds under the border guards' attacks.

What made them even more desperate was that there was no longer a commander to lead them, and now they could only fight each other like headless flies.

The result of doing this is that they will be defeated one by one by the enemy, and they will die even faster!

Seeing their comrades die in large numbers, the remaining National Alliance soldiers finally couldn't suppress their fear.

They laid down their weapons, put their hands behind their heads, knelt on the ground, and surrendered.

Today's battle is destined to be the biggest nightmare of their lives.

They never imagined that the border guards, whose strength was originally not much different from their own, would become so strong.

From the very beginning, this was an unequal war!

……

Accompanied by several of his men, Su Qidu arrived at the headquarters of the National Alliance Army.

Just now, under their final powerful offensive, the National Alliance forces all chose to surrender.

So they quickly occupied the place and captured all the survivors.

However, he did not find Johnny or the others among the survivors.

They entered the command center.

The place was deserted, with only a mess left on the floor.

Seeing this, Su Qidu's face darkened.

What he worried about most happened.

Johnny, that bastard, actually abandoned the main force and ran away!

"Commander."

Just then, several border guards suddenly escorted a prisoner over.

The prisoner was wearing Johnny's clothes.

"Sir, we have captured this fellow. He is wearing the uniform of a commander in the National Alliance Army. Please make your decision."

Su Qidu glanced at the clothes on the other person's body, and his gaze turned cold.

He had met Johnny before and recognized his clothes.

The soldier was wearing Johnny's clothes, and at first glance, the guy's build was very similar to Johnny's.

Su Qidu immediately understood.

This is a smokescreen played by Johnny. He's using someone who looks like him to attract attention while he slips away unnoticed!

"What a Johnny!"

He sneered, his eyes filled with undisguised killing intent, and looked at the soldier, speaking in a chilling tone.

"Tell me, where did Johnny run off to?"

The soldier glared defiantly at Su Qidu before turning his head away.

Judging from his expression, it seems he has no intention of cooperating.

Upon seeing this, a ruthless glint flashed in Su Qidu's eyes. Without any hesitation, he drew a dagger from his waist and plunged it directly into the shoulder of the prisoner soldier.

Stab it!
