Fadis sat on his throne with his eyes closed.

The main reason why Fadis decided to lead the army in person was because of Long Fei.

At the beginning, Faddis wanted to recruit Long Fei, but unfortunately the two of them disagreed with each other.

Originally, Faddis didn't want to have a conflict with Long Fei.

However, the death of his eldest son and the powerful spiritual energy that he sensed from Long Fei.

Faddis changes his attitude.

The main reason why Faddis changed his attitude was that he was worried that if he died one day, Long Fei would be detrimental to his empire and children. This was a problem he had to consider carefully.

Long Fei had a powerful spiritual energy flow. Faddis knew that Long Fei's spiritual power was no less than his. If this happened ten or twenty years ago, Faddis would not be too worried.

But at this moment, Faddis knew clearly that his life would not last long, and none of his descendants had a mental strength comparable to or close to his.

Long Fei is only in his early 30s, he still has plenty of time and room for improvement, but Fadis’s time is running out.

Now, the Kingdom of Dion is handed over to the second son so that he can exercise his imperial power.

Fadis cannot allow Long Fei to have another chance to grow. Once he grows again, he believes that he will not be able to suppress Long Fei.

Taking advantage of the fact that his mental strength is equal to Long Fei's, Faddis decided to kill Long Fei. Even if he couldn't kill him, he would die together with him.

Even if he and Long Fei died together, Julius, his number one knight, could fully assist his second-in-command Yelishade and intimidate those nobles who did not obey Yelishade.

Yelishade is not even as good as his two brothers in terms of mental strength, but he is much better than his two brothers in the ability to govern the country and lead combat operations.

Fadis even prepared his own will, stating that if he died in battle, Yelishad would be the next emperor.

At that time, Faddis would set up an annihilation army and let the third brother and Manius attack the Anrusa Democratic Republic in order to drive them away.

Especially Manius, Faddis had been trying to find a way to drive him away. In addition to his family, this guy was in charge of one-third of the entire Dion Empire's military forces. In addition, Manius had not done anything to let him and the country down, so Faddis really had no idea where to start.

Therefore, the only way is to get him away. Even if he is killed in battle, Manius, who is far away in the Anglo-Saxon Republic, will rush to bring back the third brother. The second brother has already sat on his throne and it has been settled.

The talented people around Yelishade can also handle all internal issues.

Although the massacre of compatriots caused some divisions in the country, Yelizood appeased and repaired some of the divisions, so that Fadis could lead the army in person with peace of mind.

Julius entered the office at this time, greeted Faddis and said, "Your Majesty, your condition is still not suitable for leading the army in person. Let me do it. Your Majesty, please go back and clear the obstacles for the Second Prince."

"Julius, I understand your concern and your desire to share my worries, but you also understand that in your current state, your mental strength is not as good as Long Fei's."

Julius lowered his head. He had suffered a serious injury during the Mars Unification War that year, which caused his mental power to be unable to improve any further. His mental power was indeed not as good as Long Fei's.

If he fought with Long Fei, his mental power would definitely be suppressed by Long Fei.

It is true that in the entire Dion Empire, only the emperor can compete with him, but this battle will definitely shorten the emperor's life span again, and he may even be defeated by Long Fei in the battle.

Once His Majesty is defeated, it will inevitably cause a comprehensive attack on the Dion Empire, and even the entire army may lose the will to fight.

Your Majesty is the spiritual pillar of Dion's army.

Julius now only hopes that His Majesty the Emperor must win and not lose, otherwise His Majesty the Emperor’s ideal will come to an end.

Fadis stood up and asked, "How many days will it take to reach the destination?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, the troops ahead will arrive in three days, but..."

"Just what?"

"Our advance reconnaissance team discovered that the reconnaissance teams of the United Army and the Tianyi Mercenary Group were also scouting our troops. We also discovered that the Tianyi Mercenary Group had gathered a lot of troops. It is estimated that these troops will prevent us from entering the No. 5 Colony Area."

"It looks like we're going to have a tough battle."

"Your Majesty, we have intelligence that Long Fei is also personally dispatched, and he is also bringing his seven direct troops with him."

"He knows that there will be a battle between him and me, and the battle between him and me will definitely affect the future developments on the battlefield."

"Your Majesty, the generals and I have a suggestion."

"Tell me about it."

"First of all, we have to point out that some of the Tianyi Mercenary Group's troops are dispersed. Their purpose may be to outflank us, so we must also disperse some of the troops. In addition to preventing them from doing so, we should also allow some of the troops to cause disruptions in other locations to increase their pressure."

"Well, I'll follow your advice."

On March 29, 125th year of the Universe Year, fighting had already occurred in some locations outside the area of ​​Colony No. 5.

These battles were all between Dion's army and the Skywing Mercenaries or the Allied Forces.

As always, the United Army was completely suppressed by Dion's Army.

Many high-ranking officers of the United Army knew that they could not defeat Dion's army, especially the troops led by the emperor himself, so why did they still fight and block it like a pebble against a rock?

They understood the main reason. If the Tianyi Mercenary Group was defeated, then they would not have to fight with the combined forces anymore and could just surrender.

Therefore, the top leaders of the United Army understood that they could not avoid this battle and had to try their best to consume and delay the Dion Army.

Location A is outside the border between the 4th and 5th colonial regions, where the Allied Forces' army-level fleet engaged the Dion Army's advance brigade-level fleet.

The former, with a number more than three times that of the enemy, was still defeated by Dion's army. In the end, the Allied Army had less than 10% of its troops left and retreated in a panic.

However, the Dion Army's advance troops drove away the enemy at the cost of 50% losses.

However, whether for the United Army or the Tianyi Mercenary Group, this at least consumes the strength of Dion’s army.

At location B, at the outermost edge of the 5th Colony area, a battle broke out between the Skywing Mercenaries and the Dion Army's reconnaissance force.

Both are regimental-level fleets, and the number of warships in the two is comparable, but in terms of transportation, Dion's warships are larger and have better transportation capabilities.

The Ms and mobile fortresses of both sides are more numerous in the latter, the Dion Army, although the Tianyi Mercenary Group has gained an advantage with mobile drill missiles and Minov particle missiles.

However, the effect of the Minov particle missile is not as ideal as before, and the Minov particles can no longer paralyze the Dion Army's automatic operating system as before.

Since the Dion Army developed anti-Minov particle devices and forced the Colonials to go to the battlefield, the effectiveness of Minov particles has been reduced.

In the end, the Tianyi Mercenary Group won, but at the cost of more than 70% losses, resulting in a tragic victory in which the Dion Army was completely wiped out. The less than 30% remaining Tianyi regiment-level fleet withdrew to the 12th branch base.

At location C, also somewhere outside the 5th Colony area, the Skywing Mercenaries and the Dion Army were engaged in a battle, both of them were brigade-level fleets.

The victory of this battle was brought by the Dion Army. At the cost of more than 80% losses, the Dion Army destroyed more than 95% of the enemy's troops. The brigade-level fleet of the Tianyi Mercenary Corps, which was left with less than 5%, retreated in a panic.

There were even battles at many locations.

But no matter where the battle takes place, the chances of winning between the Tianyi Mercenary Group and the Dion Army are basically 55-50.

Neither side had the advantage of time, place, or people, and because the battle took place in neither side's home turf, the two sides could be said to be evenly matched.

However, in all the battles between Dion's army and the United Army, the former won almost all of them, with the highest loss being only about 50%. In some cases, the former even destroyed or drove away the United Army with a loss of less than 20%.
