"Then they won?" Lin Kai asked.
Hong Yingxue nodded. "I wasn't a general commanding on the field, so I couldn't understand exactly how they won. I only saw that when both sides charged, the Iron Blood Brotherhood's momentum was like that of a giant. Gudu Banyue's side was about the same as ours. If we fought in the wilderness, I felt that even our one million troops wouldn't be a match for Zhou Tianming's three hundred thousand."
Maireizhe frowned. "They're that strong?"
Red Wolf, the First Legion Commander, said, "Victory on the battlefield depends on momentum, as well as the players' usual training in each legion. It was obvious that Zhou Tianming had spent plenty of time training his players."
Hong Yingxue said, "I'd long heard that the Iron Blood Brotherhood was a guild forged through war. Watching them fight, they truly seemed like players who had gone through countless battles. Their coordination was simply too good."
Maireizhe's frown deepened. Normally, he did not place much importance on leading his subordinates to level up. He preferred to let them work hard on their own, then promise them rewards once they reached his standards. It saved both money and effort.
"Boss, Fierce Wine Clear Wind has retaken every fortress we occupied," the Second Legion Commander reported.
Maireizhe had already seen it. Notifications that all four fortresses had fallen had appeared in his system prompt bar.
Standing beneath Chasing Sun Fortress, Fierce Wine Clear Wind called Lu Yang. "We've recovered Sunlight City's four fortresses. Maireizhe's forces have fully withdrawn to Red Moon City. Thank you, President Lu Yang. Old Twilight was so happy when he heard the news that he drank an extra bowl of rice porridge."
Lu Yang smiled. "Tell Old Twilight that I'm going to attack Red Moon Fortress now."
