Star Luo Empire.
At night, the Western Army camp.
Countless soldiers and their officers toasted and drank, eating meat and drinking wine.
Generally speaking, the rules of the army are the strictest. In addition, this is the Western Group Army of White Tiger Duke Dai Hao, so it is impossible for such "discipline" to happen.
But there is no way...
What they gained during this period was really too great.
In just a few days, they seized 99% of the mineral resources in the entire Mingdou Mountains, and even surrounded and wiped out all the armies of the Sun and Moon Empire and the bandits in the Mingdou Mountains!
This can be said to be the biggest victory since the establishment of the Western Army!
In this regard, Dai Hao also allowed the soldiers to indulge for a while and enjoy the fruits of victory.
Not only that, because of the great harvest of the Western Army, even the royal family was alarmed. The princess of the royal family came to congratulate in person and gave a heavy reward to the Western Army.
In addition to a large number of military merits and material rewards, every soldier who participated in this operation can have his bonus doubled at the end of the year.
Of course, the higher the military rank, the richer the reward.
However, Dai Hao's military rank did not change much.
After all, his military rank has reached the top, and the royal family is still very afraid of Dai Hao. The rewards can be full, but the status and military power must not be given any more.
Of course, even if the royal family does not grant these, Dai Hao's prestige in the Sun and Moon Empire has long been that one person is inferior to ten thousand people, but he does not have that ambition.
"Hahaha, tonight our team has harvested hundreds of kilograms of silver titanium ore, which should be exchangeable for a lot of military merit."
"Our team has also harvested a lot. Those people from the Sun and Moon Empire are really cowards. Egg, I don’t dare to send people over to snatch it after such a long time. It’s a shame that I was so cautious before.”
“Tch, you guys. I'm too timid, I'll do it as soon as I come, I'm afraid of anyone, I've been itching for a long time, I haven't fought with those turtles for a long time."
"Hahaha, just brag, last time. Who was being chased all over the mountain? I didn’t lead someone to fish you out in the end!”
“Get out!”
"Hahaha——"
......
At this moment, in some camps, some officers were drinking and laughing and bragging.
Because the Sun and Moon Empire did not send anyone to counterattack, most of the soldiers of the Western Army became "gold miners", digging holes every day.
But they enjoy it. After all, every kilogram of rare ore can be exchanged for a large amount of military merit.
Many soldiers have never seen so many military exploits in their lives, so naturally they are completely crazy!
For these officers, they can get a certain share of the military achievements of every soldier under their command. Just by drinking and bragging here, they can get more than they have accumulated in several years. military merit.
At first, they felt a little bit at a loss because they lost too many soldiers, but now they have made them all back, and they are making a lot of money!
......
However, the officers and soldiers outside cheered, but the top brass was different.
At this moment, in Dai Hao's camp, a group of top leaders of the Western Army were having a meeting.
Different from the hustle and bustle outside, the camp was extremely quiet. The atmosphere could even be said to be a bit solemn, and the faces of the generals were a bit unsightly. Because just a few days ago, the Deinclaw Dragon Soul Mentor Corps, one of the Sun-Moon Empire's protective hands, returned, which immediately aroused the vigilance of their entire army. The entire army retreated that day to avoid being surrounded and suppressed by the Sun-Moon Empire's army.
After all, the Sun and Moon Empire is thousands of years ahead of them in detecting soul guides, and they will definitely suffer a big loss if they fight in the mountains and forests.
However, what happened next was very strange...
Because, the Deinonychus legion of the Sun and Moon Empire was just stationed on the opposite side, and then there was no movement.
Not even a team was sent into the Mingdou Mountains to explore.
It seems to have completely given up all the resources in the Mingdou Mountains, which is very strange.
After all, they have been dealing with each other for decades, and they naturally understand the character of the Sun and Moon Empire Legion very well.
Not to mention occupying other people's mineral veins, if they dare to go deeper, they will arouse strong dissatisfaction from the other party, and even start a war directly!
But now, they not only occupied a large number of mineral veins, but also killed many soldiers of the other side. Even some territories that originally belonged to the Sun and Moon Empire were occupied and plundered by their people.
But just like this, everyone in the Sun and Moon Empire tolerated it!
This is really not consistent with common sense.
Of course, it doesn’t match, but they can’t figure out why the Sun and Moon Empire did this.
"It has been seven days since the Deinonychus Legion returned, but there is still no movement, and there is no news from our hidden enemies among the other parties. What do you think of this?"
Dai Hao sat at the head of the table and slowly opened his mouth to start today's regular meeting.
"Marshal, I think this is our opportunity. As long as the empire's reinforcements arrive, we can firmly occupy the Mingdou Mountains. Even if the Deinclaw Dragon Soul Mentor Corps comes, we will let them Pay a huge price!" A bearded general stood up and spoke slowly, with uncontrollable excitement in his tone.
The reason why they wanted to retreat before was mainly because the number of Western Army Group was too small, and their initial plan was to make a profit and run away, so they did not build any defensive measures at all.
Just two days ago, someone in the Imperial Capital seemed to be interested in this piece of cake, or in other words, this piece of credit, and wanted to get a share of the pie, so they sent a large number of reinforcements.
Generally speaking, this sudden behavior of sharing the cake is very shameful.
However, this time the cake was big enough, and their Western Army could not eat it at all, but they were happy to see the success.
In about three days, reinforcements from the empire will arrive. Now they have begun to build defense facilities. When the imperial army arrives and is successfully stationed, it will be considered the entire army of the Deinonychus Dragon Soul Instructor Group. Even if they attack, it will be difficult to take these veins away from them.
"Marshal, I think what General Bai said is reasonable. No matter what the reason is why the Sun Moon Empire's army did not come to take back the mine, it has nothing to do with us. It is nothing more than a battle. Wait until the support arrives. , Even if there is a war, we are not afraid at all!" Another old man also stood up and agreed.
"Yes, Marshal, we have been too aggrieved over the years. Even if we start a war, it will be a hearty battle. We are not afraid! There are no cowards in the White Tiger Army!"
The other positions are slightly lower. The officers also echoed in unison.
Obviously, they are also in favor of garrisoning troops and forcibly taking the mines they have occupied these days as their own.
On the one hand, it is because the resources here are so abundant, and this is even after the Sun and Moon Empire has been exploiting them for so many years.
It is really hard for them to imagine how much benefit the Sun and Moon Empire has gained from it...
On the other hand, they have had too few wars in these years. They were all killed from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, but they had been retiring for the past few years, which made them a little uncomfortable. However, they were eager to have a chance with the Sun-Moon Empire's army to see which one was stronger. weak.
