Four Factions (Part 2)

Red Army camp, command post

"How's the situation? Has Harry responded to us yet?"

As Kurelle brushed the dust off his clothes, he asked Anna, who was sitting in the main seat, about the Fourth Division.

Hearing Kurelle's question, Anna carefully pulled a letter from the documents on the desk. After confirming that no one was around, she quickly walked to Kurelle and handed him the letter. Then, Dabo Kurelle Harry 'So'oren promises, so he pinned his hopes on us. And he's prepared a surprise for us, take a look!"

Seeing Anna's smug expression, Kurelle curiously opened the letter and quickly skimmed through its contents.

"Great! If Harry's plan succeeds, then we can finish the battle and end this exercise tonight."

"Shh! Division Commander, could you please keep your voice down? If anyone hears this, our entire plan will be ruined!"

After being reminded by Anna, Kurelle quickly covered his mouth and looked around. Confirming that no one had heard him, Kurelle let out a long sigh of relief.

"Sister Anna, thank you for reminding me. I will be more careful in the future. Please don't mind!"

Looking at the grinning Kurelle, Anna rolled her eyes at him, then put on a weary expression and said, "Alright! Alright! Just be more careful next time. Now let's hurry up and prepare for tonight's operation!"

Having received the 'decree,' Kurelle vanished from the tent in an instant, like a gust of wind.

Huang Jun Camp, Command Post

"Haha! Division Commander So'oren, Division Commander Harry, and Brigade Commander Sanko, you three have finally arrived! Please have a seat!"

As soon as So'oren and his two companions entered the tent serving as the command post, Dabo, seated in the main seat, immediately came forward, warmly shaking hands with them and inviting them to sit down. As the saying goes, one doesn't refuse a smiling face, and faced with Dabo's enthusiastic reception, the three had no reason to refuse, so they could only gladly accept.

After taking his seat, So'oren stopped beating around the bush with Dabo and went straight to the point, asking him about the joint action plan to deal with the First Division.

"Dabo, the most important task now is to discuss how to deal with the formidable enemy, Kurelle. Put away your feints for now, and we'll talk about them after the exercise is over!"

Despite being rebuffed by So'oren, Dabo remained unperturbed and said with a smile, "Alright! Since Division Commander So'oren is so straightforward, I won't hold back either! My plan is simple: before Kurelle discovers our three-way alliance, tonight we'll gather all the forces of our three divisions and launch a surprise attack on the Red Army camp, taking them down in one fell swoop!"

Upon hearing Dabo's words, So'oren frowned deeply. After pondering for a long time, he suddenly shouted, "Good! Let's do it that way!"

After So'oren made his decision, both Dabo and So'oren turned their attention to Harry.

"The two Division Commander's plan is flawless; my Fourth Division will fully cooperate!"

Seeing Harry's sensible attitude, So'oren and Dabo nodded in satisfaction. Then the two turned around, huddled together in front of the map, and began to discuss the specific details of their operation that night.

As night deepened and all was quiet, a dark figure carefully avoided all the patrolling soldiers and sentries of the Yellow Army camp, and quietly slipped out of the camp. Then, it disappeared with lightning speed into the empty plains shrouded in night.

Red Army camp, command post

"Whoosh"

A flash of Cold Light streaked across the tent, embedding itself in the wooden screen in the center. Kurelle grasped the still-swaying arrow shaft, then pulled the arrow from the screen and removed the letter tied to the shaft. After reading the letter, Kurelle stood in the center of the tent, tilting his head back and laughing triumphantly.

After a short while, Kurelle regained his senses and began issuing military orders, preparing for the upcoming battle.

Thick clouds completely obscured the moonlight, and the pitch-black night enveloped the entire land. Three long black dragons moved slowly, hidden in the darkness.

Directly in front of the Red Army camp, in a hidden thicket of tall grass, an army that was slowly advancing suddenly stopped.

"Division Commander Dabo, according to the scouts' report, the Red Army's camp is just ahead!"

Elkley pointed to the brightly lit camp ahead and explained to Dabo in a low voice.

Watching the figures moving about on the stockade wall ahead, Dabo nodded, then turned his gaze to Galipar, who was standing on the other side. Seeing Dabo staring at him, Galipar knew it was time to launch the final assault. He immediately ordered the communications soldier behind him to fire rockets, notifying his allies to join the attack.

"Call out"

Accompanied by a sharp, piercing cry, a bright flash of light pierced the night and appeared in mid-air.

Another direction from the Red Army camp

Seeing the flames appear in the sky, So'oren put the helmet he was holding on his head, drew his longsword from his waist, and shouted to his men behind him, "Brothers, charge!"

As So'oren gave the order to attack, the long dragon, which had been lurking in the darkness, suddenly moved rapidly across the ground and launched a fierce attack on the camp ahead.

On a small path behind the Red Army camp, the Fourth Division, which was hiding there, did not launch an immediate attack after seeing the fire, like the Third Division did, but instead quickly withdrew.

"Division Commander, didn't we form an alliance with the Second and Third Division to jointly attack the First Division? Why are we retreating to our camp now?"

Upon hearing the question posed by one of his Brigade Commander, Harry shook his head and coldly said to him, "If you don't want our Fourth Division to be the first to be eliminated, then forget about the so-called alliance and get back to our own camp as quickly as possible!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing Harry's words, the brigade Brigade Commander first gave Harry a respectful military salute, and then answered loudly.

On an unnamed high ground, Kurelle and Anna quietly watched the scene below.

"Haha! Anna, you guessed right! That old bastard Harry really did want to instigate a major battle between us and the Second and Third Division so he could reap the benefits!"

"Of course! After all, without doing this, their Fourth Division has absolutely no chance of winning. Alright! The show down the mountain has begun, it's time for us to go and close the net!"

"Okay! I'll inform Heradi to start the operation right away!"

After a fierce battle, Dabo and So'oren finally met in the center of the Red Army camp! However, their faces showed no joy, but rather a frosty expression. They had only managed to capture an empty camp after all their hard work, and their other ally had mysteriously disappeared.

Just as the two were speculating whether Harry had been ambushed or had defected, a muffled, loud rumble suddenly echoed from beneath the camp. Immediately afterward, the entire ground of the Red Army camp collapsed, and their men were all plunged into the deep pit. And that wasn't all; shortly after their fall, a hail of arrows rained down upon them.
