Chapter 1179: Chapter 19 The Great Alliance Moves Forward (3)_3

The residents of Green Valley Town, trembling in fear, discovered that the "Rebel army" was far more amicable than they imagined. Not only did they refrain from looting and burning, but they also did not engage in forced buying or selling.

The officers who procured supplies from the town’s merchants spoke gently and amicably, even settling accounts with real silver coins—more reasonable than when the official army was present.

The mayor of Green Valley Town proactively gathered a batch of wine, meat, and flour and delivered it personally, along with several town representatives, to the camp outside the town.

Having won the battle and enjoyed an extra meal, the atmosphere in and around the Iron Peak County New Army’s camp was filled with joy—except for the Central Army Tent.

Inside the Central Army Tent, there was a deathly silence.

The guards and clerks didn’t even dare to breathe deeply, because Winters Montagne was contemplating the map.

"Is there still any hesitation?!" Andre could no longer endure the torturous silence. He stood up, pointed at the map, and decisively cut the Gordian knot, saying:

"Since the enemies of Maple Fort have crawled out of their shells, we absolutely cannot let them shrink back! Eliminate them, and Maplestone City will be within reach! The people of Thunder Group County said, ’The warehouse in Maplestone City is filled with supplies and provisions.’ The reserves accumulated by General Adams should not be wasted. They have use for it, and so do we."

Winters was still weighing his options.

On the map in front of him, an enemy army was advancing from Maplestone City toward Green Valley.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Yunque Mountain, the forces representing Mont Blanc County, Thunder Group County, and Riverside County still remained stationary at Changhai Town, having not moved for six hours—since the last communication cavalry arrived six hours ago.

Considering the travel time of the communication cavalry, Colonel Bod’s main force had likely left Changhai Town at least ten hours ago, advancing toward Snake Swamp.

According to the original plan, even though the Four Counties Allied Forces separated the Iron Peak County Military to guard the rear, the forces of Mont Blanc County, Thunder Group County, and Riverside County would still enjoy a numerical advantage against Sanel’s troops.

As long as...

Winters picked up a chess piece, rubbing it between his fingers, muttering to himself: "As long as Sanel’s forces haven’t received reinforcements."

Indeed, if Sanel’s forces received unexpected reinforcements, the main force led by Colonel Bod would face not the "possibly ten brigades" of Sanel’s forces,

but the "at least twelve brigades, possibly expanding to fourteen brigades" of Sanel’s forces.

"If Sanel truly received reinforcements from Kingsfort," Winters raised his head, looking at Andre, and said coldly, "Colonel Bod might be in danger."

"Do you really believe that sniveling kid?" Andre was anxious: "Didn’t he just hear it from a messenger reporting victory? Who knows if it’s true or false? What if he’s deceiving you? What if he’s a dead spy?!"

Winters slowly repeated, "If Sanel truly received reinforcements from Kingsfort, Colonel Bod might be in danger. If Colonel Bod’s main force is defeated, the stationed troops in Vernge County will surely mobilize. At that time, we will have no retreat."

Andre’s face turned ashen, and under extreme pressure, he became uncontrollably volatile.

With a look of agitation on his face, Andre gritted his teeth and said, "Since Colonel Bod deployed this way, we can only trust him! Just like he trusts us! Otherwise, what? Support the main force? What about Green Valley? What about the army’s rear? Even if we truly abandon Green Valley to support Colonel Bod, it might already be too late!"

He slammed the table: "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush! I say! Attack Maplestone City!"

Supporting himself on the campaign table, under extreme pressure, Winters instead became unusually calm—as if the person who earned the title "Blood of the Wolf" was not Winters Montagne.

He stared at the map, saying nothing.
