The army of the Korno Fortress also noticed the sudden appearance of the ghoul army in the south. It all seemed too coincidental. However, even if some people had doubts in their hearts, no one dared to easily question whether there was any connection between Zhang Wei and these demon armies. Because such speculation was too shocking and might even make people fall into endless despair.

Faced with such a grim situation, the officers of the Korno Fortress quickly held an emergency meeting. There were only two options before them: either to surrender to Zhang Wei, or to gather troops and march south, break through the defenses of the ghoul army, and reach Navel City to seek survival.

Those officers who advocated surrendering to Zhang Wei firmly believed that what Zhang Wei lacked at present was a well-trained and well-equipped professional army. Choosing to surrender to him at this moment was like offering warm charcoal in the midst of heavy snow, and they would definitely be highly valued and reused by Zhang Wei.

As for the officers who held opposing opinions, they did not dare to directly express their inner speculation about the collusion between Zhang Wei and the monsters, and could only use the flimsy reason that "Zhang Wei might also be the culprit who assassinated the king" as a basis for rebuttal.

In fact, now that the king is dead, in the current chaotic situation, who really cares who did the killing?

The officers present at the meeting knew that if the murderer of the king could help unify the kingdom one day, then the next moment, a bunch of people would come out and claim to be the murderer of the king. Admitting or denying, in the end, it all depends on how big the benefits are.

Zhang Wei did not give the Korno Fortress any chance to breathe or think, and set foot on this land alone. He appeared directly on the wall of the Korno Fortress, as domineering as when he killed the chief officer of the Korno Fortress.

"Where are your heads?" Zhang Wei asked the soldiers standing guard on the city wall expressionlessly. Not long after, a new military commander elected by the Korno Fortress Army led a group of his confidants to climb the city wall.

"Who are you?" Zhang Wei asked, pretending to be ignorant.

"Your Excellency, I am the military commander recommended by this army." The officer answered respectfully and gave Zhang Wei a standard military salute. Zhang Wei nodded slightly to show his satisfaction, and then said: "You are quite sensible."

"Yes! I will follow your orders!" The military commander was not stupid. He remembered how Zhang Wei had killed the fortress commander who was appointed by the king himself.

"Very good, Corno Fortress belongs to me, and even the city of Naville is no exception. Those who have different ambitions can choose to leave, but if you stay, you must obey me." Zhang Wei's voice was cold and firm, revealing an irresistible majesty.

"I'll give you three days." Zhang Wei said, and disappeared from the city wall.

To be honest, those officers and soldiers who chose to leave the Korno Fortress were full of confusion and anxiety. They were not sure whether they could reach Navel City safely or continue south to the White Tiger Fortress. However, for these people, perhaps being loyal to Zhang Wei was the most unbearable thing for them.

Three days later, Shen Pei arrived at the Korno Fortress on time as agreed. He announced to the officers and soldiers who stayed behind without any hesitation: "I came here only to tell you a good news and a bad news." Hearing this, the officers and soldiers all whispered, but no one dared to stand up and question Shen Pei who was alone.

When the noise of the crowd died down, the judge slowly said: "The bad news is that you all need to face the reform of the military system, and it is very likely that you will not be able to continue to stay in this Corno Fortress." As soon as the words fell, the whole audience was in an uproar, and the originally quiet scene suddenly became extremely noisy.

Despite this, faced with this sudden change, none of the numerous officers and soldiers dared to question Shen Pei in person, even though Shen Pei came to the fortress alone and stood alone on the stage.

After the scene returned to calm, Shen Pei loudly announced the so-called good news to all the officers and soldiers: "Even ordinary soldiers in this Korno Fortress, as long as they pass the test of this military reform, they can be promoted to non-commissioned officers or even grassroots officers!"

In an instant, the entire martial arts arena was filled with cheers and noise, and shouts of "Long live" resounded through the sky, as if to completely shake this ancient fortress.

It's not their fault that they were so surprised, because even though the kingdom's combat power system had collapsed, the class system was still rigid and solidified, and they were still in a position where they couldn't make any progress.

In sharp contrast to the officers and soldiers who were excited and actively preparing for the test of military reform, the officers and soldiers who chose to leave the fortress and head south were in a much more miserable situation. Although Zhang Wei fulfilled his promise and ensured that they passed through the zombie defense line safely.

Even the goblin army that besieged the city of Naville did not attack them, but let them enter the city. However, the city of Naville was full of confusion and vigilance about their arrival.

The residents of Naville couldn't believe that they could have made it all the way south to this place unscathed, especially since the goblin army didn't launch any attacks on them, which made the people of Naville deeply suspicious of them.

Even though four days later, the reinforcements sent by the White Tiger Fortress successfully repelled the goblin army, thus avoiding the tragic fate of Naville City being captured by the demon army, the people of Naville City were still skeptical of the officers and soldiers who surrendered south from the Corno Fortress.

During these four days, these officers and soldiers bravely took the lead and fought bloody battles, trying to prove their loyalty with practical actions. However, no matter how hard they tried, it seemed difficult for them to gain the trust and honor they deserved. Their efforts seemed to be ignored, and they were filled with grievances and helplessness.

The reinforcements from the White Tiger Fortress were like a spring of fresh water that poured into the dry hearts of the officers and soldiers of the Korno Fortress, slightly alleviating their deep-seated grievances and helplessness. Faced with this sudden invitation of goodwill, the officers and soldiers of the Korno Fortress decided to head south to the White Tiger Fortress without hesitation, looking forward to finding new opportunities and comfort there.

However, fate always likes to play tricks on people. When they entered the White Tiger Fortress with hope, what they saw was not the delicious food and wine they had imagined, but cold swords and heavy shackles! Those officers and soldiers who had survived the hardships and passed the interrogations and tests eventually became slaves of the White Tiger Army and were ruthlessly driven to the slave barracks.

At this point, the officers and soldiers of the Korno Fortress suddenly woke up from their dreams. It turned out that the Duke of White Tiger had been harboring evil intentions and had been harboring rebellious intentions for a long time. Not only that, he also secretly raised a large number of slave soldiers, waiting for the right time to raise the banner of rebellion. What shocked them even more was that the eldest princess Monica Hudson had been pushed to the throne by the Duke of White Tiger and became the new queen of this country!

The Duke of White Tiger is now standing at a crossroads in his life, facing a difficult choice. If he had been able to successfully conquer the Korno Fortress, then Zhang Wei would probably no longer be a threat, right? Unfortunately, time cannot be reversed, and things are unpredictable...
