Chapter 425 March · One Arrow and One Sword

From the perspective of national distance, the distance of hundreds of kilometers between Eyme and Wulan State was not too far.

But it was not easy to plan the marching route.

Hundreds of kilometers was even within a province in Zhongzhou State.

However, in Eastern Europe with many small countries, from Eyme to Wulan State, there were two small countries with an area of about 20,000 square kilometers.

Oga State.

Ross State.

No matter how one went, from Eyme to Wulan State, one would have to cross the borders of these two countries.

Wulan State, Oga State, Ross State, plus Baiyu State and Lawson State behind Wulan State.

These were the five Eastern European countries that were extremely famous in the minds of the Zhongzhou State military.

This area with five countries was so famous, for it was previously out of reach of the Arctic Ocean Command in Zhongzhou State.

Only six countries of Eastern Europe had no garrison of Zhongzhou State.

The five countries accounted for five.

The other was Snow Country with the largest territory in the world.

The mighty convoy went all the way on the highway.

From the capital of Eyme all the way forward, the marching army that had no relaxation in the slightest made the 5,000 elites of the Snowdance Corps go at an extremely fast speed.

In the huge truck compartment as the temporary headquarters after the modification, Major General Li Zonghu, the first division commander of the Snowdance Corps, stared blankly at the electronic map on the screen. His eyes and brows were filled with fortitude.

After all, this full-speed emergency march was different from the one of more than 20 years ago.

The Arctic Ocean Command did not exist more than two decades ago.

The Highnesses of the Li family had come to Eastern Europe with the initially established Border Control Corps. They had built a world out of stalemate and animosity, and thus founded the Arctic Ocean Command.

Li Zonghu was a veteran who had participated in that pioneering campaign.

So when he remembered the grim situation and the bloody killings of that year, compared with the present, everything seemed to be repeating itself.

Li Zonghu felt dizzy in the heart.

At that time, the five Eastern European countries with Wulan State as the core also had declared war on Zhongzhou State.

At the time, the Li family, which underpinned the overall situation in Zhongzhou State, had given an extremely straightforward response.

The first vice marshal Fire Man of the Border Control Corps had fought directly with 600 elites.

In one day and one night, 600 elites directly had cut through the barriers of Oga State and Ross State, had settled the defense of Wulan State, and had pointed directly at Recchi City.

In that turbulent era, it was Snow Country that finally had contacted many powers in Western Europe. Several super forces had joined together to make the Li family retreat.

The Li family had withdrawn from the five Eastern European countries, but the foundation of the Arctic Ocean Command had been completely stabilized for the Li family’s compromise.

Up until today, time had passed silently for more than two decades.

Li Tianlan came to Eastern Europe with the Snowdance Corps.

The first command he gave to the Snowdance Corps was to march into Recchi City.

The same family.

Three Highnesses before and after.

The youngest Highness now seemed to be doing things that the two Highnesses of the Li Family had never finished.

Li Zonghu smiled suddenly.

He was one of the first veterans of the Border Control Corps, and was one of the elites who had followed the two Highnesses of the Li family to arrive in Eastern Europe.

But at that time, he was still very young, had a low realm, and was far from qualified to enter the Li family’s door.

20 years later, he was now at the peak of his life. He followed the Li family’s youngest Highness to come to Eastern Europe again, following the same path that the Li family had traveled in that year. In this situation, Li Zonghu’s heart gradually changed and became subtle and complicated.

The truck had a large carriage.

The huge screen was showing the marching route of the Snowdance Corps at this time.

The 5,000 elites were divided into two batches, with a group of 3,000 ahead sprinting lightly.

The next 2,000 people were slower and carried heavy weapons.

During the march for several hours, two groups of people had gradually opened a distance that was not dangerous but could no longer be regarded as absolutely safe.

Li Zonghu looked at the screen in front of him.

All the executives of this action in the cabin also looked at the screen.

The red line on the screen representing their marching line passed through Eyme, Ross State, Oga State, and directly into the capital of Wulan State, Recchi City.

It was an almost straight, extremely harsh marching route.

Arctic Ocean Command fully cooperated with them.

At nine o’clock in the morning...

5,000 elites of the Snowdance Corps left the border of Eyme.

The Snowdance Corps’ request to march via Ross State was directly rejected.

At 9:15 in the morning...

The first 3,000 elites of the Snowdance Corps set foot directly on the land of Ross State.

High-powered military trucks ran at full speed.

At noon...

The Snowdance Corps, who crossed the border of Ross State, passed by with the capital of Ross State. At the nearest point, the distance between the two sides was less than 50 kilometers.

The Snowdance Corps went all the way north.

Ross State, which had declared Zhongzhou State as a hostile state, was silent over such a blatant march, which could even be regarded as an aggressive one.

At 1:10 in the afternoon...

The first 3,000 elites of the Snowdance Corps silently left the border of Ross State.

During the continuous rapid march, neither Ross State nor the Snowdance Corps had missed a single gun or shot.

.

If they let the enemy nations’ armed forces cross the border, it would be an absolute shame.

But for the Snowdance Corps, this was a great glory.

The morale of the 3,000 elites of the Snowdance Corps increased.

At 1:25 in the afternoon...

The 3,000 elites entered the border of Oga State one after another.

Oga State sent the most elite reconnaissance legion to closely monitor the border.

The first time the Snowdance Corps entered the territory of Oga State, the commander of the reconnaissance legion had already reported to the higher-ups of Oga State, and then came up with an order: pay close attention.

The Snowdance Corps crossed the border of Oga State without hesitation and went all the way.

The reconnaissance legion kept retreating as the Snowdance Corps marched.

There were more and more troops in Oga State. Without the command to start a war, they could only retreat continuously.

The Snowdance Corps passed by Flying Snow City.

Oga State: watch closely.

The Snowdance Corps passed by Blue Water State.

Oga State: watch closely.

The Snowdance Corps passed by the rain forest.

Oga State: watch closely.

The Snowdance Corps was close to the capital.

The Snowdance Corps passed by the capital.

Oga State: withdraw.

“...”

Stuck with irritability and resentment, the Oga State army followed the Snowdance Corps non-stop across half the country. Finally, due to the order, they resisted their urge to curse them and watched the Snowdance Corps leave the capital of Oga State.

It was a shame for Ross State.

It was also a shame for Oga State.

At 3:30 in the afternoon...

The front team of the Snowdance Corps added gasoline to their vehicles, and after confirming the distance of the heavy units at the rear, they continued to march.

Li Zonghu, who was silent for a long time in the carriage, finally said, “Sir, we will officially enter Wulan State in about half an hour. Can anyone tell me how long it will take us to reach Recchi City?”

Inside the compartment, the executives of the operation were all silent.

They had crossed Ross State and Oga State without any conflict.

The morale of the 3,000 elites of the Snowdance Corps had fully reached its peak.

But only real executives understood that this was actually not a good thing.

The silence of Ross State and Oga State was not only a shame, but also presented their pragmatic style.

Having declared war on Zhongzhou State, they could not be so weak after they formally listed Zhongzhou State as a hostile state.

But the two countries did not react to their crossing the borders in the slightest.

The biggest possibility was that they wanted to concentrate all their forces and fight the 5,000 people of the Snowdance Corps with their lives.

It was a one-time effort!

So the road ahead was destined to be not peaceful.

Ahead, they were likely to encounter the coalition forces of the three states—Ross State, Oga State, and Wulan State.

Although the other party hastily transferred troops, who could tell the number of people?

They were only 5,000.

The other party might have 10,000, maybe 20,000, or even more...

From this location, if they left the border of Oga State, reached Recchi City, and marched at full speed, it would take about three hours at the speed of a truck.

That was to say, under normal circumstances, they would reach Recchi City at around seven o’clock.

But it was destined that something would happen.

Li Zonghu asked when they would be able to reach Recchi City. Actually, he was asking everyone how long they would face the war of the three states’ allied forces.

“Hasn’t the intelligence come from up ahead yet?”

Sun Mengran, the deputy head of the First Division of the Snowdance Corps, asked this question.

In the Border Control Corps, Sun Mengran’s rank and position were the same as Li Zonghu’s. But at this time, he became Li Zonghu’s main helper. Of course, his rank was still at the same level as Li Zonghu’s.

“Uncertain.”

Li Zonghu shook his head. “Obviously, the other party was also prepared, though hurriedly. The news came 10 minutes ago that there was a large number of military personnel movements at the border of Wulan State. But the flags of Oga State and Ross State were not found yet. According to our investigators, there are at least 12,000 troops on the border of Oga State.”

Li Zonghu paused and did not continue.

Sun Mengran had understood the meaning of this sentence.

The relation between Oga State and Wulan State was extremely close. It could be said that they had always made progress and retreated together. Oga State was definitely not the object of Wulan State’s defense. On the borders of the two countries, Wulan State could never station more than 10,000 troops.

2,000 was already the limit.

In such a short time now, the other party had gathered at least 12,000 troops, which could only be the three nations’ coalition.

And 12,000 people was just a conservative estimate.

“It doesn’t sound like much,” Sun Mengran thought for a while then calmly said.

.

“General Li, where is your limit?”

A voice broke out.

In the corner of the carriage, a young man in his 30s stood up.

The young man’s appearance was ordinary and his tone was a little dull. So his expression of interrogation was especially serious.

The youth obviously did not belong to the Snowdance Corps.

Several people around him also had a completely different temperament from the senior members of the Snowdance Corps.

That temperament was not noble or reserved. But at first glance, they did not look like professional soldiers.

The young man held a silver spear in his hands, and his eyes looked solemn.

Li Zonghu glanced at him, straightened his body subconsciously, and raised his arm to salute the youth slightly.

The young man raised his hand in return. Although he was young, the Lieutenant General epaulette on his shoulder was genuine.

“It depends on how sophisticated the other party is.”

Li Zonghu explained earnestly, “If it is the strongest elites of the three states, our 3,000 people would like to break through the defense of the other side and reach Recchi City, and still be able to guarantee a certain combat capability. 45,000 people probably are our limit.”

The strongest elites of the three states.

Li Zonghu’s words were extremely arrogant.

They had only 3,000, which against 45,000 was equivalent to a battle loss ratio of 1 to 15. Even Li Zonghu required these people to have a certain combat capability. It meant that the battle loss ratio would be higher.

“What about ordinary people?” the young Lieutenant General asked.

.

“60,000 people.”

“Without thinking about their weaponry,” Li Zonghu said.

The young man nodded. He thought for a while and said, “We can take a shot.”

Li Zonghu froze and subconsciously turned his gaze.

His gaze fell on a middle-aged man beside the youth.

The middle-aged man sat silently in the corner from beginning to end. But he slowly lowered his head while cleaning an exaggeratedly huge bow.

But no one dared to ignore his existence.

This was the only general in the Special Warfare System of Zhongzhou State among all the people present!

Seeing Li Zonghu’s gaze, he nodded and said simply, “One arrow.”

“It is enough.”

Li Zonghu solemnly saluted. “Thank you, General.”

The middle-aged general nodded.

Li Zonghu took a deep breath and said, “Since the two generals are willing to take a shot, we expect...”

“Not expect.”

A clear voice suddenly sounded, just like water flowing in a barren desert, clear and crystal. “It is a must. Uncle Li, we must arrive at Recchi City before eight o’clock.”

A young woman stood next to the middle-aged general and the young Lieutenant General. She did not have on any makeup, but looked extremely beautiful and pure.

She wore a red dress that was inconsistent with the surroundings. Her white hand held an ancient sword in a cracked scabbard. Her eyes looked firm and persistent.

“Madam is right.”

The young Lieutenant General smiled. “Before eight o’clock, you must arrive in Recchi City.”

The young woman’s face turned rosy. She glanced at the Lieutenant General with her clear eyes.

The Lieutenant General showed a soft smile on his dull face, and gave a big thumbs-up.

“I’m willing to be the sharp knife of these 3,000 people and go ahead.”

The woman whispered, “That would be helpful to Uncle Li.”

“No!”

Li Zonghu was startled and said without hesitation, “Miss, you...”

“No.”

He did not know what to say, but insisted. “Absolutely not.”

“Father will agree.”

The woman whispered, “This is the style of the Dongcheng Clan.”

“I know the Marshal will agree.”

Li Zonghu smiled bitterly and said, “But His Highness will not agree, nor will I. Everyone here will not agree.”

“But...”

The woman furrowed her beautiful brows. “One arrow is not enough.”

“Then add a sword.”

A gentle, casual voice sounded suddenly.

A young man who seemed to have no sense of presence stood up and said with a smile, “This is enough.”

Li Zonghu glanced at him and frowned. He did not know the young man. But the other man followed the young lady in the car and said that he was a friend of His Highness Li Tianlan. So Li Zonghu did not say anything.

But at this time...

Everyone was staring at the young man who suddenly stood up.

With a smile on his face, the young man stretched his waist and laughed to say, “What? You don’t even believe me?”

“I believe you.”

The middle-aged general, who had been silently cleaning the giant bow in his hand, suddenly spoke up.

He looked up at the somewhat slack young man, with unconcealed fear and appreciation in his eyes.

He did not know the young man, either. But he could clearly feel the horrible tide-like breath on the other side.

The other side was so young.

The general could even be sure that in today’s Zhongzhou State, after the realm-falling of Wang Shengxiao and Jiang Shangyu, even Gu Hanshan’s realm was still there.

But in the younger generation, apart from Li Tianlan, the young man in front of him was definitely the strongest, absolutely.

Li Tianlan was the Chosen One.

Then he was the top young Chosen One.

His arrow.

His sword.

They were enough for this battle
