"The commander of the Empire's 1st Division has been placed under house arrest. The current commander of the Empire forces is John Maslow, battalion commander of the Mage Battalion. He is exceptionally greedy, and after seizing command of the 1st Division, he began frantically amassing wealth over these past five days."
"Not only did he plunder the property of the Morning Star Clan's collateral branches, but he also allowed his soldiers to loot the civilians of Horseshoe City, leaving the entire city full of resentment and chaos in just five days?"
Early in the morning, at Sunset Valley on the border between Starlight Territory and Horseshoe Territory, within the encampment of the Allied 4th Independent Division.
After hearing the intelligence report from the Shadow Orc Forces regiment commander before him, Major General Leon raised an eyebrow.
"Colonel Galil, are you certain this intelligence is accurate?"
"I am. This information came from our agents planted in Horseshoe City ahead of time and was transmitted through our internal special channels. There can be no doubt as to its accuracy."
Galil spoke in a grave voice. Five days earlier, in order to investigate the commander of that Empire Mage Corps, he had activated the intelligence personnel the Shadow Forces had planted in Horseshoe City.
Now that he knew the enemy commander's true identity, he could barely wait to set off and carry out the assassination.
However, after the 101st Division, which had barely scraped together three thousand cavalry, joined up with the Allied Forces Seventh Army, the higher-ups decreed that every member of the 101st Division would have to follow the Seventh Legion's orders during this counteroffensive.
Besides serving as commander of the 4th Independent Division, Major General Leon Li was also the supreme commander of the assassination forces in this counteroffensive plan.
