However, Liu Lang also made great progress in these three days, and Veroshiya also found out the situation of the empire.
Currently, the Imperial Army is led by Gene Warriors as the vanguard, the Royal Guard as the central force, and the troops of the Grand General and the Third Princess as the rear guard to steadily counterattack the Void Monsters that want to launch a general offensive.
The Witchers were responsible for protecting the flanks of the army and maintaining stability within the castle. Everything seemed so orderly that the Void Army appeared to be no match for the Crown Prince and his forces.
"Is this how battles have always been in the West?"
Bu Xiaosai was puzzled. How could the battle here be so direct compared to the Void Army that attacked the Dragon Kingdom?
What about the Void Corridor? What about the erosion traps, disguised troops, sneak attacks from behind, and all those other conspiracies and tricks?
Why are they so foolish as to fight you head-on? Could there be some undiscovered conspiracy going on?
The more smoothly the battle went, the more Bu Xiaosai felt something was wrong. However, as an outsider who relied entirely on guesswork to judge the situation, it would be strange if others listened to him.
"I don't know if I'm overthinking it, but listening to these Imperial warriors' complaints, I have a feeling that something bad is about to happen."
Liu Lang walked over with a wry smile. The group of imperial warriors were actually complaining that the void was nothing special, and even shamelessly saying that the royal family should have launched a counterattack long ago.
But these people who indiscriminately killed Void Commanders didn't dare to utter any arrogant words; they could only say that the Void had put on a very good act.
So far, the Void hasn't put in much effort against the Empire; instead, it's deliberately guiding the Imperial army deep into the Void's heartland. Hopefully, the Grand General and his men will react in time.
"Old Bu, I have some bad news for you."
Liu Lang was heavy-hearted. After three days of investigation, he discovered that the gene-enhancing drug researched by the royal apothecary Hawke Hines might have had its original color altered.
Previously, the elders of the Dragon Kingdom and the Gene Human Race had discussed why the Void did not directly pollute the human race's genes to turn the entire human race into the Void Human Race.
However, this will not happen, because it is an alternative form of collective evolution, and a top-level deity simply cannot bear the consequences.
Therefore, the only option is to cleverly contaminate a portion of the original human genes.
That's right. Theoretically speaking, any soldier who has been injected with their gene serum could be lured by the void and become a mindless void monster.
Is this the worst-case scenario?
Bu Xiaosai shook his head slightly. There wasn't much they could do, and the mission was already complete. They just needed to wait for Commander Weisha to send someone here.
"Hockhaines?"
"Heh heh heh, who dares to call me by my name?"
As Hawkehins emerged from the castle, he turned and saw Liu Lang. His eyes lit up, and his expression softened slightly.
"Hehehe! My friend, you're still alive."
"Alive, Royal Apothecary Master."
Liu Lang and Hawke Hines embraced, while Bu Xiaosai and Liu Shenjun also looked at the hunched old man. This was the royal apothecary who created the gene serum.
Soon, led by Hawkehins, they entered the castle's reception room.
"You've come at just the right time. The Crown Prince and the others have all gone to the front lines. I'm the only high-ranking official left in the castle. If I had left earlier, you probably wouldn't have been invited in until tomorrow."
Hawkehins instructed his men to arrange rooms within the castle for the Ninth Princess and her entourage; after all, they were members of the royal family. As for the two escort teams that had brought them here...
The royal troops were brought into the military camp, while the noble alliance was stationed outside the city.
this...
As expected, there is a significant conflict between the two sides.
Liu Lang was relatively close to Hawkehains, so he also heard about his arrangements.
Hawkehins noticed Liu Lang's expression and immediately let out a cold laugh.
"The Noble Alliance is often like this, all talk and no action, always hesitant in doing anything, looking like they want to contribute but don't know how."
"I'm guessing they're planning to hole up in Falling Rock Town and launch a defensive counter-attack?"
"Well, more or less. How did you know?"
"This is not a secret within the First Prince's faction."
During the time when the eldest prince fled the capital, the noble alliance, despite its considerable momentum, simply watched the void army attack like a coward.
The Sixth Prince was appointed to a critical mission and fought alone, which gave the First Prince three months. After that, the Void advanced westward, and the Noble Alliance only symbolically mobilized and launched two attacks before handing over a large amount of territory.
This move has greatly disappointed us, and for that reason we hold the Noble Alliance in utter contempt, nothing more.
