Li Xin does what he says.

After Brand took the initiative to approach him, Li Xin began to let him access certain information.

But this information is also false information.

Not only Brand, but also some other managers in the company, and even the entire city, were shrouded in Li Xin's disguise.

The army was frequently mobilized to establish defense lines in and around the city.

In order to make the disguise more realistic, Li Xin even reluctantly withdrew a battalion of armored troops and left them in the city.

The Army Aviation Regiment even often has helicopters or fixed-wing fighter jets flying over the city.

The armored forces are either on patrol or deployed to various locations every day, and they often need to change their paint jobs and unit numbers before appearing in front of a series of company managers such as Brand.

At the same time, Li Xin arranged for the staff officer to make some false information and pass it to Brand on to the coalition forces.

In this way, no matter whether Brand is sincere in surrendering or is determined to be a double agent, the information that can be passed on is all false.

In war, the beginning never begins when the first soldier spots the enemy soldier.

The battle between the two sides began long before the armies set out.

All kinds of false information and disguises are flying around.

Under Li Xin's management, if people who don't know the inside story, they will only think that Li Xin is determined to defend the city to the death.

Relying on the city's settlements, they fought a decisive battle with the enemy's coalition forces.

This possibility was also predicted by the enemy's analysis team.

After all, everyone now knows that the main advantage of Li Xin’s troops is not as many as the coalition forces.

Moreover, the losses in defensive operations are much lower than in field battles.

No one would have thought that Li Xin would abandon an intact city and built fortifications, rush hundreds of kilometers, and attack the army that had not yet arrived at the battlefield in an uninhabited area.

…

In the enemy coalition headquarters.

This is the headquarters of Nordon Castle, but the commander of the support forces of the Lock Kingdom and the holographic projection of the commander of the reinforcements of the Besha Foundation also appeared here.

The commander of the Bexia Foundation was an old man, obese, with sparse white hair and a serious face.

On the other side was the commander of the Locke Kingdom: Valen, a middle-aged military officer wearing the officer uniform of the Locke Kingdom.

On the holographic bust, you can see a row of medals on his chest, and even a decorative noble sword at his waist.

In the command center, Marion looked at Valen's image, and an inexplicable emotion flashed through his heart.

He also didn't understand why in the interstellar age, there would be a historical reversal and the emergence of feudal kingdoms on colonial planets.

I also can’t understand why feudal aristocrats still exist.

That’s right, Valen is a nobleman, a hereditary nobleman of the Kingdom of Locke.

Although on this planet, most of the high-level positions are inherited through bloodline.

But whether it is Blueprint Biotechnology or Rhodes Power, they are very secretive in their actions.

The position of a group's senior executives has never been openly hereditary.

But the Locke Kingdom is different. They are an interstellar feudal kingdom and they put everything out in the open.

From the medals on Varen, we can see that at least half of them are related to royal activities.

The other half are medals won in battle.

After seeing these medals, Marion forced himself to suppress the disgust in his heart.

At least, this is a nobleman with real military merits, not here to gild his reputation.

On the other hand, a shareholder of Dewan Technology took out some information and distributed it to the senior commanders in the headquarters. Information was also sent to the Besha Foundation and Valen.

A shareholder of Dewan Technology said, "This is the intelligence our intelligence personnel left in the city. You can take a look at it now."

The conference room fell silent for a moment, and everyone was looking through the materials.

The data, of course, includes not only intelligence gathered by Dewan Technology's intelligence personnel, but also intelligence gathered and summarized by intelligence personnel from the Locke Kingdom, the Gasu Order, and even Nordon Castle.

The composition of these intelligence personnel is diverse, including city executives and ordinary city residents disguised as criminals.

The intelligence collected is also verified from various aspects.

After a long while, some people gradually put down the information in their hands.

Nordenburg's Chief of Staff, Pikor, said tentatively, "It seems that they know that we are going to attack them?"

Stella glanced casually at Powell of the Bexia Foundation and said slowly, "We have intelligence personnel on the enemy's side, so it's normal for them to have intelligence personnel on our side."

"Both sides are playing half-heartedly. We can't treat the enemy as fools."

When Stella finished speaking, everyone nodded slightly.

Powell, the veteran officer from the Bexia Foundation, said, "Does the enemy's current actions appear to be relying on the city's defenses to resist our attack?"

"Gaswu Submerged Order, four garrison brigades and one mountain brigade have appeared here."

"Dewan Technology, here are the designations for a mechanical brigade, four garrison brigades, and a mountain brigade."

"But the enemy didn't deploy any defenses at Fort Nodon."

"So they gave up the territory of Nordenburg?"

Stella said: "This is not surprising. There is no industry on the territory of Nordongburg."

"There's no point in them defending this place. It's not surprising that they're abandoning this place and withdrawing their forces."

In Valen's holographic projection, he frowned and said, "I'm curious, why would the enemy want to establish a defense line?"

"They should be aware of our approximate military strength. Why didn't they withdraw when it was obvious that they were outnumbered?"

Valen is not a mere empty talker. On the contrary, he is an officer with real talent and rich combat experience on the battlefield.

He looks at problems and can get to the heart of the matter.

Valen pulled out a piece of intelligence and said, "I see that the enemy has taken the scholars and scientific research equipment of the Gasu Order back to Aden via roads and transport boats."

"Normally speaking, the enemy has achieved what they wanted in this battle."

"Why would they continue to hold on to these settlements when there's no intelligence indicating reinforcements with blueprints?"

Valen looked at the shareholders of Dewan Technology and asked, "Does your company have anything valuable in the settlement that would attract them to stay?"

The shareholder's face froze.
