"I'm finally back, the cold and smell of the sea is so good!"

The officer in charge of greeting at the dock looked at Bai Gang strangely. The air at Storm Corner was always like this, cold and tide. It was the first time I heard someone say that such air was good.

But it’s not his business that Bai Gang looks like, his task is just to pick up people.

"Lieutenant Colonel Bai, please come with me, Commander and the others are already waiting."

"good."

Bai Gang left the dock and got into the car and headed straight for the Storm Base. He soon met Commander Ren and Major General Ren and the others in the smoky command center.

"Lieutenant Colonel Bai, it's time for you to come back. Come and show you something good!"

"nice one?"

Bai Gang stood next to Commander Ren and looked at the screen he gave out. It seemed that it was the real-time battle situation transmitted from the front-line drone from altitude. He could not know what the wriggling bones everywhere meant.

Just when Bai Gang wanted to ask what he wanted to see, he saw the image shaking violently.

Fire, loud noises and mushroom clouds!

Bai Gang looked at Commander Ren and the others in surprise, and said in disbelief: "You...you buried nuclear mines!?"

Although the equivalent of that nuclear mine does not seem to be large, it is a nuclear weapon no matter what. Is the situation so serious?

"Nuclear mines? No, no, of course not!" Commander Ren smiled, "It was just a concentrated destruction of a batch of 152mm ammunition. You know, now the local government hopes to unify the caliber to 155mm. The more these 152mm shells are piled up, making them bigger, and we can do them a favor."

"Destroy the shells..." Bai Gang thought for a while, and suddenly realized where the image on the screen just now came from, "is the artillery position behind the first line of defense!?"

"Yes, that's it."

When Bai Gang set out for the Seven Kingdoms, the position was still in the planning, but he didn't expect that when he came back, he witnessed the moment the position exploded.

Bai Gang asked: "That is to say, the undead has broken through the first line of defense?"

Commander Ren said: "Yes, that position is the last position of the first line of defense."

Bai Gang asked again: "How many undead have been wiped out?"

Commander Ren shook his head and said nothing. Major General Le said, "It is impossible to count. Before the war, they were covered with the entire valley, but now they are still covered with the entire valley. If I have to say it, I would probably be one percent."

"Is one percent..."

Major General Le patted Bai Gang on the shoulder: "Don't have that bitter face, it's just the first line of defense. We don't use much means except barbed wire, mines, shelling and aviation bombs.

Originally, the purpose of the first line of defense was only to prevent the scattered low-level undead spirits from moving south. It is already very good to be able to support the undead spirits until now, causing such great damage to them! Don’t expect too much!"

Major General Le spoke easily, but the expression on his face was not at all. These words were more like to say to the staff in the command center.

Commander Ren said, "Okay, let's not talk about the frontline affairs anymore. Lieutenant Colonel Bai will tell you about your gains in Shifeng City. Are those kings willing to cooperate with us?"

When Bai Gang mentioned Shifeng City, his face became strange.

"They are willing, but at the same time they are not willing."

Bai Gang shrugged and said.

"The guys agreed to fight against the undead and the conditions given were generous.

But once they are involved in the interests of the issue, they all become wealthy slaves, without exception! Even if we have given some promises, they can only be carried out after completely repelling the offensive of the undead.

This is nothing, but there is another point. They seemed to be frightened by the undead's breaking through the Blood Fortress Fortress. Not only did they not allow the Echo Canyon to be opened to us as a road passage, but they planned to completely block the Echo Canyon and isolate the north and south of Anglia!"

Commander Ren said in surprise: "It's really an interesting idea. Are they planning to build a mountain on the Blood Castle?? This is a great project!"

Bai Gang sneered: "It's indeed a big project, but I'm afraid it's just a talk. One of the things that the kings like the most is bragging, and their internal opinions are not consistent.

But one thing is certain, that is, we should not expect to open up the trade line through negotiations. The seven kings agreed to set it as a restricted area after the blood castle was recovered and no one was allowed to pass."

"There is no trade line on the road... If we rely solely on sea transportation, we will not have too many fleets in a short period of time. This is not good news." Commander Ren sighed and said, "What about our other requirements?"

Bai Gang said: "Apart from the road trade, most of the others agreed, but the content basically has some discounts.

First of all, a series of diplomatic recognitions, which is the formal acceptance of us as a member of the human forces in the Anglia continent.

Then the free trade requirement was accepted, but tax cuts were impossible, nor did they accept the requirement that tariffs remain unchanged within twenty years.

The requirement to legally purchase industries including mines was rejected, and all transactions of large funds must be handed over to the king for personal review.

And even if they have agreed to a transaction, if they think we have made too much afterwards, they have the right to ask for a new contract. Hell, they plan to prepare a medicine for themselves to regret!

Some even publicly declared that they were afraid that we would buy all of his kingdom with Misin!”

Then Bai Gang said a few more things, but without exception, they did not fully meet the original expectations.

Major General Le frowned and said, "It's already time to reach the dead's end. They are still so petty! It's incredible!"

Bai Gang said: "In fact, I think they are very smart, because now we are at the forefront. Whether they agree to our conditions or not, we will fight the undead to the end. Promising those conditions will not make us work harder."

And they really work hard to support us against the undead.

They believe that we do not lack conventional combat power, and can even be said to be excellent. The biggest shortcoming is high-end combat power, so they plan to send us a reinforcement composed entirely of high-end combat power.

Although the list has not been finalized yet, they guarantee that the lowest level will not be weaker than the top level among the higher level.

In addition, they promised to send an expeditionary force of no less than 50,000 people to the Black Thorns area after recovering the Blood Fort to help us sweep away the dead entrenched in Duze.

This can indeed help us a lot, provided that they can recover the Blood Castle in time.
