In those days of Plants vs. Zombies

War Zone No. 59, inside the headquarters of the Imperial War Fortress, in the commander-in-chief's office.

Ye Yang, who is usually calm and composed, seemed very anxious today, and he stood up and walked back and forth in the office from time to time.

She is waiting for a result, a result that is still under investigation.

After a while, there was a familiar knock on the door.

Three longs and two shorts, that was the secret code agreed upon by Ye Yang and his personal maid Mu Xi.

"Come in."

The door was gently pushed open, and Mu Xi, wearing a purple gold sword on his waist, walked quickly into the office and saluted Ye Hongyang.

"What were the results of the investigation?"

As soon as he saw Muxi, Ye Yang couldn't wait to ask.

The latter nodded slightly. "We've completed the investigation. The culprit that caused those outposts to lose contact was none other than the 'Howling Moon Hunting Pack.'"

During this period, several imperial outposts and fortresses in the war zone completely lost contact.

Initially, the fortress communicator in charge of contacting the outpost thought they were just attacked by monsters from the abandoned city.

But after several days, none of the lost outposts resumed communications, which gave the communicators a bad feeling.

Finally, the information about the outpost's loss of contact was reported to Ye Yang's desk.

A part of the exploration team that was closer to these lost outposts was dispatched to check the situation, but they got bad news.

An unknown force attacked these outposts and massacred all the garrisons. No visible or hidden checkpoints within the outpost's jurisdiction were spared, and even the low-level zombies in the surrounding areas were wiped out.

This is undoubtedly a naked provocation to the empire. As the current commander-in-chief of the fortress, Ye Yang will never swallow this anger.

In order to find out which force was offending her dignity, Ye Yang specially sent the sword guardian of the second sword "Gu Chen Tian Zhan", her personal maid Mu Xi, to investigate.

Relying on the space jump ability provided by Gu Chen Tian Zhan, Mu Xi was able to travel quickly throughout the entire war zone.

After several days of tracking, she finally found out which force had massacred the troops stationed at the outpost.

They are the Wild Wolf People who belong to the same Death Camp but have always been at odds with the Empire.

The werewolves of the wilderness specifically refer to werewolf ghosts and werewolf zombies, a group of tribes that are considered uncivilized by the empire and still maintain barbaric habits.

They are unruly by nature, with racial characteristics and habits similar to those of wolves, and make a living by nomadism and looting.

Although they all originated from the World Monument, the Wild Wolf People never consider themselves the same as other zombies.

Especially after the birth of the Empire, the orthodoxy of death, the differences between the two sides reached their extreme.

In order to survive and avoid being assimilated, the Wild Wolf People have never stopped their conflict with the Empire.

The wolf people roaming in the wilderness gathered together and eventually formed twelve huge hunting packs, which have been entangled with the empire to this day.

Speaking of this, we have to mention a young imperial crown prince.

It was his appearance that caused the wolf alliance composed of twelve hunting groups to fall apart.

Lieutenant General Huo Wuji of the Empire, the uncrowned champion marquis, the supreme commander of the Ranger Corps, and one of the brothers that Ye Yang most wants to win over.

At the beginning of the Second Garden War, he successfully carried out a decapitation operation against a four-star general of the Federation, and Huo Wuji's name became known.

In the middle of the Second Garden War, in the "Battle to Recapture the Iron Wall Defense Line", Huo Wuji led the charge and completed the four major achievements of "Be the First to Ascend", "Break Through the Formation", "Behead the General", and "Capture the Flag", thus becoming famous throughout the modern world.

At the end of the Second Garden War, he led the Rangers deep into the heart of the Federation, buying precious time for the remaining Imperial forces to evacuate, and finally escaped unscathed.

After the end of World War II, Huo Wuji turned to fight against the wilderness wolf people and defeated the twelve hunting groups that tried to take advantage of the situation in one fell swoop. Six of the hunting groups were subdued by him, and he eventually became a loyal wolfhound of the empire.

The remaining six hunting groups were afraid of the powerful champion marquis, so they had no choice but to leave and still lingered on the border of the empire.

The one that appeared in War Zone No. 59 this time was the "Howling Moon Hunting Group", which was once the leader of the twelve hunting groups.

They possess the purest wolf bloodline and are the most warlike and ferocious tribe among all the hunting groups.

According to the intelligence obtained by Muxi, the reason why the Xiaoyue hunting group traveled a long distance and entered the war zone was to find the daughter of the Xiaoyue hunter master.

Combined with what Xuan Yuan mentioned earlier, footprints left by the Redemption Road were found in the war zone.

Ye Yang had every reason to infer that it was this notorious human trafficking criminal group that kidnapped the young Princess Xiaoyue.

"Are the results of the investigation out?"

After receiving the notice, Xuan Yuan walked into the office and sat opposite Ye Yang.

"Yes, it's the Howling Moon Hunting Group, the leader of the twelve hunting groups. They should be looking for Princess Xiaoyue who was captured by the Redemption Heavenly Road."

Ye Yang couldn't help but smile bitterly. After all, it was her troops who were too unlucky and took the blame for the Redemption of Tianlu.

Xuan Yuan nodded and said, "The Howling Moon Hunting Pack... No wonder, they'll avenge their grudges directly. That's what they call these wilderness wolves."

Ye Yang chuckled: "If there is a grudge, they will be avenged in person, but if they do a favor, they will also thank you in person, isn't that right?"

Xuan Yuan seemed to be lost in thought. "You mean... if we can rescue Princess Xiaoyue ahead of time, perhaps we can take this opportunity to gain the favor of the Xiaoyue Hunting Pack."

"In other words, if Princess Xiaoyue is in my hands, she will be the key to our pursuit of benefits for the empire, and also our bargaining chip in negotiations with the Xiaoyue Hunting Group."

Ye Yang took a sip of the almond milk that Mu Xi handed to him and found it tasted great.

"The current situation in this war zone is becoming increasingly complicated."

Xuan Yuan unfolded the battle zone map he had just taken from the combat deployment room and expertly analyzed the current situation:

"The reconnaissance team reported that a group of Aomori Rangers have set up camp in the abandoned city, targeting the Path of Redemption.

At the same time, a federal rebel force called the Freedom Force entered the war zone, and some of their members reached a cooperation with the Redemption Sky Road.

The former provides military protection for the latter, and the latter provides funds and manpower for the former.

Of course, it seems that some members of this rebel army want to join us.

The Federation's shadow special forces are pursuing the rebels. They have penetrated deep into the abandoned city and may encounter our exploration forces.

In addition, there are local war courtyards and wanderers, foreign mercenaries, modernists, bounty hunters, and other unknown forces.

It can be said that at this moment, the 59th War Zone has become a mess."

“In my opinion, the cancer of the Redemption Heavenly Road has become the target of public criticism, and many forces are coming for it.

We should just stay out of this mess and wait and see how they fight, while we sit back and reap the benefits."

As soon as Ye Yang said this, Xuan Yuan immediately agreed: "That makes sense. Let's see who will have the last laugh."

At this moment, a sudden change occurred.

The purple phone placed on Ye Yang's desk suddenly rang.

Ye Yang was stunned at first, then picked up the microphone.

This phone is connected to a dedicated channel within the Imperial Military, and is only available to the highest commanders of the military headquarters and various army groups.

"This is the Empire's 59th War Fortress. I'm Commander-in-Chief Ye Yang. Wait, what? Okay, I get it."

Ye Yang hung up the phone with a serious expression, then sighed deeply: "I'm afraid we can't stay out of this."

Xuan Yuan asked doubtfully, "What do you mean?"

"A reserve pilot of the Imperial Z Mecha Group Army was kidnapped by the Redemption Sky Road and taken to War Zone 59."

His plan was ruined just like that, and Ye Yang was speechless at the moment.

"How dare they attack active Imperial soldiers? And Z-Mech pilots at that?"

Xuan Yuan said that he had never seen such a bold existence.

"That kid is a core member of the Qingying Squadron, a model student specially recruited by 'Old Z' himself. In short, we're in trouble."

Ye Yang took a deep breath, then stood up and issued a series of orders:

"Muxi, go tell Antie to bring his troops and prepare for battle."

At the same time, notify Wushou and ZIA agents to go out and ensure the safety of the rescue target.

Also, I will go there myself this time, Xuan Yuan, and I will temporarily leave my protection duties to you."

Mu Xi and Xuan Yuan looked at each other. They knew that the eldest princess of the empire was serious this time.
