Warlords: Rise of the System

Lu Tianhao led the mighty landing army and continued to advance bravely into the depths of the bandits' homeland with great momentum.

Along the way, the army was unstoppable, and wherever it passed was like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. It hardly encountered any large-scale, organized and decent resistance.

This strange situation made Lu Tianhao and his generals deeply confused and suspicious.

According to common sense, facing the aggressive landing army, the bandits should dispatch a large number of elite troops to put up a stubborn resistance.

But now, only those scattered guard troops along the way offered a symbolic and weak resistance. Why is this?

You know, if we only rely on these scattered guard forces.

Then it won’t take too long before the brave and fearless landing troops of the National Salvation Army will be able to march straight in and attack the bandit’s capital city of Kyoto in one fell swoop.

Sure enough, within just one day, this unstoppable army had successfully advanced hundreds of kilometers into the heart of the bandits' homeland.

As night fell quietly, Lu Tianhao decisively gave the order to stop the exhausted troops from advancing.

They quickly chose a suitable location to set up camp in order to gather their strength for the more intense battles that would follow.

In the makeshift, crude meeting room, the lights were bright and the atmosphere was solemn.

Lu Tianhao frowned and spoke with a look of suspicion on his face.

"Throughout the entire day today, the bandits have not sent out a large-scale force to effectively block our attack. This is truly unbelievable!

I really don’t know what kind of sinister and cunning conspiracy they are planning in secret.

Convey my instructions to the vanguard immediately.

Tell them to be extra cautious when marching tomorrow and not to be careless, lest they fall into the trap carefully set by the enemy."

Wang Hui took a deep breath and slowly said, "General, in my opinion, those bandits probably didn't play any sinister tricks.

It is very likely that the fierce attack we launched on the bandits' impregnable fortifications has completely intimidated the rest of the bandits' troops!

Perhaps there is another possibility, that is, the pace of our attack is too fast.

As a result, the bandits' top leaders had no time to mobilize other troops to launch an effective blocking operation.

That’s why we are in this situation now—we have been pushing forward for a whole day with all our might, and we haven’t encountered any decent resistance from the enemy.”

Lu Tianhao nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with Wang Hui's opinion, but his eyes still revealed a hint of doubt and worry, and he responded softly.

"Well... I hope it's as simple as you say.

But to be honest, I would rather these bandits could come up with some conspiracies and tricks.

So that the powerful weapons of destruction in our hands can once again give them a heavy blow!"

After saying this, his eyes unconsciously looked into the distance, as if he was imagining the fierce and spectacular scene of the upcoming battle with the bandits.

According to the latest intelligence that the scouts have tirelessly traveled around to investigate and quickly passed back.

In a vast area with a radius of dozens of miles centered on the current location.

After a thorough search and observation, no signs of any large groups of bandits were detected.

Analyzing and judging from many clues together, it is very likely that this is the case.

As the landing troops of the National Salvation Army advanced at a rapid pace, their advance was as fast as lightning and unstoppable.

Such a rapid advancement caught the bandits' top commanders off guard.

They simply did not have time to dispatch sufficient troops to the designated location to effectively block the landing operation of the National Salvation Army.

Since the root cause of the problem had been successfully found, this tense and intense military meeting soon came to an end.

After clarifying the next action plan, the participants dispersed and returned to their posts to actively make preparations for the subsequent operations.

The next morning, it was just dawn and the sun had not yet fully risen.

After enjoying a simple but nutritious breakfast, the troops began to assemble in formation with high spirits and morale, preparing to continue moving forward according to the established plan.

However, at this moment, an unexpected emergency occurred without warning.

The bandits actually took the initiative to send an envoy to express their hope to have face-to-face negotiations with the National Salvation Army.

When Lu Tianhao first learned this shocking news.

His deep and wise eyes narrowed slightly, as if he instantly understood the hidden meaning.

Wang Hui, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but speak when he saw this.

"No wonder we haven't seen the bandits send troops to stop us before. It turns out they have already made up their minds to negotiate with us!"

Hearing this, Lu Tianhao just smiled faintly, and then responded in a firm tone.

“Negotiations are not impossible, but it is also possible if you want us to stop our current offensive operations.

There is only one prerequisite, that is, they must surrender to us without reservation and unconditionally.

As long as the bandits can meet this requirement, then all other matters can be discussed."

Wang Hui frowned and asked Lu Tianhao seriously.

"Marshal, if those bandits really choose to surrender without reservation, then how should we deal with them?"

Lu Tianhao crossed his arms across his chest, narrowed his eyes slightly, and answered after thinking for a while.

“They were the ones who started this war in the first place. Now that they have been defeated, they will naturally have to pay a heavy price for it!

First of all, war reparations are absolutely indispensable.

Secondly, we must be on the territory occupied by the bandits and the several islands belonging to them.

Several military bases have been established to ensure our strategic security and regional stability.

In addition, they are not allowed to have large and organized regular combat forces.

Only when the bandits accept all of the above harsh conditions, can we consider accepting their so-called "unconditional surrender".

Otherwise, we must take decisive and practical actions to force them to honestly follow our demands and surrender unconditionally. "

Having said that, he looked at Wang Hui sharply and then ordered, "Chief of Staff Wang, you will go and meet the envoy sent by the bandits in person later.

Convey to him exactly the conditions we have drawn up.

Remember, I will only give them one day to consider and make a decision.

If at that time they dare to refuse or hesitate.

Then I will not hesitate to command my army to launch a more fierce and fierce attack on them until they are completely defeated! "
