"Although it's just a defensive position, the battle line stretches for thousands of miles. The enemy might launch a full-scale attack from anywhere, and it's difficult for us to concentrate our forces, plus we have far too few reserves..."
At this point, [ Hard Armor ]'s eyes suddenly lit up:
"Since the Demon Realm expeditionary force hasn't suffered heavy losses, could we have them come to our aid after a short rest?"
"..."
Why aren't you saying anything?
"The expeditionary force... is still in the Demon Realm."
Sailesi sounded slightly embarrassed.
For a moment, he even wished he were the one who died. After all, given the current situation, [ Whale Tail ] was blamed for underestimating the enemy, [ Divine Wings ] was credited with sacrificing himself for his country, and only he, though no one said it, was considered a coward.
Damn it... It was clearly [ Divine Wings ] that made me run away.
Sailesi sensed that the misunderstanding was deepening, so he gestured for [ Hard Armor ] to remain silent. He then recounted the entire process after arriving in the Demon Realm to [ Hard Armor ], making him understand that he had already accomplished a great deal and should not nitpick or interfere.
After hearing about what happened in the Demon Realm, [ Hard Armor ] remained silent for a long time before speaking:
"I roughly understand the situation. The soldiers from the Demon Realm will have [ Crown ] and they will be responsible for providing support."
"So..."
He turned his gaze to Sailesi:
What is the purpose of your visit?
Sailesi sighed softly:
I'm here to take your place.
"[ The Crown ] Congressman wants you to hand over all defense-related matters to me, and then you must immediately return to Sand Capital to receive orders."
"What?"
[ The Hard Armor ] were immediately shocked--
"The situation here was already tense, and we just suffered a defeat..."
"If I leave, what if the news gets out and the enemy takes the opportunity to attack?"
Sailesi could only sigh upon hearing this:
"I originally thought you would know the reason, but it seems you don't quite understand either..."
"I really don't know."
[ Hard Armor ] became even more depressed:
"There may be some deeper considerations, but changing the commander-in-chief is not an easy task."
"I know, that's why [ the Crown ] didn't send you on your way immediately, but rather to have you complete the handover with me as quickly as possible."
Sailesi thought for a moment and said:
"Defense deployments, troop strength, factions, tactical expertise—I need all this intelligence, whether it's our side or the enemy's."
"Okay, I will complete the handover with you as soon as possible."
Although [ Hard Armor ] did not understand [ Crown's] intentions, he did not choose to disobey.
He immediately ordered all the nearby military governors to be summoned, and briefly explained that he would be transferred soon, and that Councilor [ Nether Crossing ] would be in full charge of the defense line thereafter.
The warlords looked at [ Nether Crossing ] with obvious distrust in their eyes.
[ Hard Armor ] is indeed a bit weak, but [ Nether Crossing ] frankly doesn't have any past achievements either...
Why didn't you send Lord [ Divine Wings ] over?
In order to maintain stability, [ Hard Armor ] selectively stated some facts:
"[ Nether Crossing ] participated in the killing of a vampire grand duke in the Demon Realm, seizing new Authority for the Alliance. In this respect, he is even better than me."
You must trust him as you trust me.
Sailesi gestured to the other commanders, knowing that he, like a bricklayer, would be busy again in the coming days, moving bricks wherever needed.
The official website and forum section of " World of Disorder ".
A new post shot up to the top of the leaderboard at lightning speed; its title was. "Call for Celebration of Birthday Greetings."
Countless players clicked on the Thunder title in astonishment, only to be quickly overwhelmed by its even more shocking content:
With the cooperation of the higher-ups in the Skeleton Alliance, we successfully launched a major rebellion.
As of now, the total number of rebels—no, insurgents—is around 170,000, with another 50,000 wavering on the way.
The enemy currently has a fighting force of 500,000, but 400,000 of them are engaged in a stalemate with the Empire on the front lines, leaving less than 100,000 to defend the capital.
That's right, the location of the great rebellion we started is just a hundred miles outside the outskirts of Sand Capital, the capital of the Skeleton Alliance. It will only take three days for our army to be at the Sand Capital.
However, the enemy will inevitably return to defend quickly, and with several High Tier enemies present, victory will not be easy.
It can be said that once war breaks out, there is no room for maneuver.
One side will inevitably fail completely.
so--

(A photoshopped "I want you" recruitment poster. jpg)
The post wasn't very long, but naturally, everyone would be interested in clicking on the [ Broken Sword ] councilor's mobilization speech.
More and more people are moved after hearing those classic lines.
The number of comments on the post was increasing at an almost visible rate; after just one refresh, the previous comments were nowhere to be found.
Some were amazed that the player could instigate such a large-scale rebellion, and began to wonder if this would have any impact on the game's main storyline.
Some people despise this kind of free labor without any compensation, believing that joining this player-organized activity means either being extremely bored or having a mental problem.
Some players who enjoyed the combat quickly filled in their names in the link and refuted the former's claims.
There's no reward only for defeat. If you say there's no reward, it shows you're a defeatist Soul Returner, bah!
The "Call to Arms" has become incredibly popular online, with the number of applicants soaring.
Seeing that the number of people in the backend link had rapidly exceeded one thousand, [ Ginseng Rooster ] sent a message to these people to prepare, and then pulled fifty players who volunteered to sacrifice one life to an open space.
After the Blood Pool is activated, these Soul Returner enter Damage Sharing Mode.
Fifty people simultaneously chose to commit suicide, and under the influence of the Blood Pool and Nutrient-Rich Resin, a mass of highly nutrient-rich material resembling a culture medium was quickly formed.
Then, [ Ginseng Rooster ] planted the first Temporary Teleportation Resurrection Tree on the nourishment their bodies had transformed into, and began to summon them like a necromancer:
"The soldiers are coming!"
"The soldiers are coming!!"
"The soldiers are coming!!!"
