Annam, Henei, the general's residence.
"General, we just received a message from Jiying's squad. They've been intercepted by a powerful Pokémon legion."
A stern-faced, bearded middle-aged man in a regulation military uniform stood by the window with his hands behind his back.
He was Ma Qiu, supreme commander of Annam's new Pokémon army and the mastermind behind this series of atrocities.
Hearing the report, Ma Qiu knitted his thick brows and turned his head slightly, asking:
"Which Huaxia unit?"
The messenger answered:
"General, the message didn't specify. It only gave the name Qin Feng!"
At the mention of Qin Feng, Ma Qiu spun around, planted both hands on the desk, and stared gravely at the messenger as he demanded:
"What? Did you say Qin Feng?"
When the messenger nodded in confirmation, Ma Qiu sank into thought.
Qin Feng? Why would Qin Feng come to the southwestern frontier?
Did he no longer want his little island on the high seas?
No, I have to contact our allies and have them pressure Qin Feng into staying out of the conflict between Annam and Huaxia.
As Annam's supreme commander, Ma Qiu was naturally familiar with Qin Feng.
They had even conducted detailed investigations and analyses of Qin Feng and his Panan Island.
Their conclusion had been that it was best not to provoke him.
This time, he had never imagined Qin Feng would personally lead a force thousands of miles to launch a surprise attack on the southwestern frontier.
"Mr. Dylan, this is Ma Qiu. I have something important to report!"
"Jiying's squad, which we sent to harass Huaxia, was intercepted and attacked by Qin Feng ten minutes ago. We don't know the casualties yet. I hope you can put pressure on Qin Feng and make him get the hell back to Panan
