After three days of continuous marching, Qin Ze's army finally arrived at the northern border. The area was shrouded in the shadow of war, but with 250,000 troops holding the line, the alien forces could not advance any further. Qin Ze's return brought renewed confidence and morale to the northern army, and they once again displayed their formidable strength, halting the 500,000-strong alien army in their tracks.

Upon returning to the Northern Territory, Qin Ze immediately convened an emergency military meeting. Inside the Grand General's residence, the main hall was packed with high-ranking officers, strategists, and local lords, the atmosphere tense and solemn. Qin Ze sat in the main seat, with his strategist Zhao Yunfei standing beside him; the hall was thick with a military atmosphere.

Qin Ze took a deep breath, his gaze sweeping firmly over everyone present, and then he said, "Generals, strategists, and lords, you are all aware of the current emergency. An army of 500,000 aliens is about to invade our northern border."

After a moment of silence, an old general stepped forward. His face was weathered, but his eyes were resolute. "General," he said, "although we outnumber them, the situation is precarious when facing such a massive alien army. We need a clear plan."

Qin Ze nodded, then looked at Zhao Yunfei standing beside him: "Strategist Zhao, please share your thoughts."

Zhao Yunfei stepped forward, his gaze sharp: "Gentlemen, first of all, we must understand the enemy. The alien army is vast, but they also have weaknesses. According to the intelligence I have gathered, there are contradictions among their army leaders, which is something we can exploit."

One of the lords interjected, "Strategist Zhao, what you say makes sense, but how can we take advantage of this?"

Zhao Yunfei explained with a smile, "We can adopt a strategy of division. By sending spies deep into the enemy ranks, we can create more internal conflicts and prevent them from cooperating closely. This will affect their morale and disrupt their command structure."

Qin Ze added, "At the same time, we must prepare for defense. We need to strengthen the city walls and border fortifications to ensure we have enough time to deal with their attacks."

One of the advisors raised a question: "But our forces are still not enough compared to theirs."

After a moment of contemplation, Zhao Yunfei replied, "That is a problem, but we can increase our combat effectiveness by using the terrain and ambushes. We need to make full use of the terrain in the North, drag the alien army into familiar territory, and then launch a lightning attack."

The meeting lasted for several hours, during which the generals, strategists, and lords actively discussed strategies and tactics, offering many valuable suggestions. Qin Ze not only listened to their opinions but also actively invited them to share their thoughts. This emergency military meeting not only boosted everyone's confidence but also formulated a detailed plan to deal with the invasion of the alien army.

At the end of the meeting, Qin Ze stood up, a confident smile on his face: "Gentlemen, we have formulated a preliminary plan. Now it's time to act. Let us defend the North and protect our homeland together!"

The atmosphere inside the hall became even more solemn, but everyone's eyes gleamed with unwavering determination.

Then, Qin Ze stood before the soldiers, his general's armor gleaming coldly in the sunlight. His gaze was firm and resolute as he looked at each soldier; he knew that this speech would determine their morale and fighting spirit.

"Warriors, people of the North, today we face an unprecedented test: an army of half a million foreign warriors threatens our land and our homes. But I tell you, we are not afraid!"

The soldiers responded in unison, shouting slogans, their morale soaring.

Qin Ze continued, "We are the guardians of the North, and we bear the mission of defending our country and protecting our people. This is not just a war; it is our responsibility and our belief!"

His words were passionate, each syllable conveying unwavering determination. A resolute light shone in the soldiers' eyes; they knew this was their time to demonstrate loyalty and courage.

Qin Ze raised his longsword, its blade gleaming in the sunlight like a sharp sword piercing the sky: "Soldiers, I will personally lead you, pointing our swords at the alien army, to defend our land and our people! We will not yield, we will fight to the last moment!"

The soldiers' applause and cheers were deafening. Their hearts had been ignited by Qin Ze's impassioned speech, and they were willing to give everything for the Northern Frontier and for their country.

Qin Ze took a deep breath, his gaze sweeping over each soldier, and then announced, "Soldiers, prepare to march! Our glory and victory await us!"

The soldiers shouted "Long live the General!" with high morale, ready to meet the challenge ahead.

At the main camp on the northern border, Qin Ze stood before a map, his gaze intently scrutinizing the situation before him. Around him stood a group of officers and strategists, awaiting the general's instructions.

"Soldiers, war is imminent, and we must be fully prepared." Qin Ze's voice was firm and powerful. "First, reorganize the equipment and ensure that every soldier has sufficient weapons and armor. We cannot leave any gaps."

The officers quickly relayed Qin Ze's orders, and the soldiers began inspecting and maintaining their equipment, while the blacksmiths rushed to make new weapons and armor, making the entire camp a flurry of activity.

Qin Ze then added, "Repair the city walls and reinforce the fortresses. We must ensure that our defenses are strong enough to withstand the attacks of the alien races."

The engineers immediately began repairing the city walls, reinforcing them with stones and timber and fixing existing cracks and damage. The arrow towers on the walls were also reinforced to better defend against enemy attacks.
