My Players Are So Fierce

General Baldwin slammed his cane angrily on the ground and shouted:

“That disgraceful man demands a legion from me?

Is he so frightened of the Wolf People now?

He doesn’t even dare to personally wash away his shame without a legion to follow him?

It seems death has turned him into a coward!”

“These reinforcements are not for the old general, Sir Baldwin.”

Irina explained:

“This is aid for Shadow Valley.

The old general has already appointed 25 Transia warriors as his companions to acquire the Holy Sword.

His concern isn’t about his own already doomed fate, but about this war!

Once Blackflame Mountain Pass encounters problems, Shadow Valley’s current military strength cannot stop the advance of the Wolf People.

The Winter Wolf Army was formed precisely to resist the Black Disaster and counter the damage inflicted by Wolf People on the civilization of the continent!

The old general says you and your soldiers cannot stand idly by during the vampires’ battle.

This is an affront to the Winter Wolf Army.”

“How I conduct my affairs is not for him to judge.”

General Baldwin coldly said:

“I only make decisions.

You may withdraw!

Thank you for bringing back the news, Captain Irina, this is quite important to the Baldwin family and the Winter Wolf Army.

I remember you have a sister living in Borisogleb, shall I arrange a visit for you?”

“I would very much like to see my sister, but not now.”

Irina seemed merely a messenger, ready to leave after conveying the old general’s request, indifferent to the outcome.

She told her former superior:

“I will accompany the old general on the journey to reclaim the Holy Sword.

This is my mission, one I wish to fulfill even in death.

As for my sister…

General, please allow me to ask you one thing: if I don’t return, don’t tell my sister of my resurrection as an undead.

If I can complete my mission, before I walk into eternal silence, I will personally go to see her.”

“I promise you, soldier!”

General Baldwin said in a deep voice:

“This is my commitment!

You can be at ease.

Additionally, I have good news for you.

Your sister did not fall into despair after your death.

Two years ago, she became our brave country’s twenty-first Winter Wolf Blade Master.

She is following in your footsteps.

She is now serving in the guard of Her Wolf Queen Majesty and is highly trusted, hence has brilliant prospects.”

“Then I can be at ease.”

Irina let out a husky laugh, yet no joy could be discerned.

This is the state of the undead: all genuine emotions were stripped away at the moment of death.

She might truly be happy, but she can no longer laugh.

She left like a soldier, not even pausing at Klim Fortress, merely accepting the gift from Colonel Duke of a set of elite hunter armor and a blade of the officer-level Winter Wolf.

She is to follow Old Baldwin to retrieve the Holy Sword, which is necessary armament.

After Irina had left, Colonel Duke returned to General Baldwin’s office and found the general writing a military order.

The colonel patiently waited for a few minutes, then saw General Baldwin seal the order and handed it to him saying:

“The first army of twelve thousand men and five artillery regiments in Klim Fortress will depart immediately, bringing sufficient supplies, passing through the Maginot Line to Shadow Valley, and assisting the Transia people in fortifying there.

Also, dispatch the elite North Wind Guard to rush to Blackflame Mountain Pass at the fastest speed.

They may not participate in combat, but I must maintain constant awareness of the situation there.

Finally, use the Thorn Clan’s channel to convey messages to Her Wolf Queen Majesty.

Inform our queen!

The threat of this Black Disaster is incredibly significant, Klim Fortress requires support.

Invite Lord Kuder to Klim Fortress for a banquet tonight, I wish to discuss supporting the Maginot Line in crucial moments.”

“General!”

Colonel Duke exclaimed in shock, he immediately questioned:

“You think the Transia people’s concerns will come to pass?

But now we lack evidence to verify…”

“Duke, you’ve been with me for ten years, you know I rarely act on feelings, but this time it’s indeed different.

All the various details I’m currently grasping reveal some unsettling signs.

Also, the intelligence sent by Lady Shani confirms this point: the Wolf People come with ill intentions, and most importantly, this time they are not fighting alone.

There is a hidden force assisting them.

Though the goals of both sides remain unseen, it’s enough to make the already dangerous Black Disaster become even more deadly.”

General Baldwin irritably opened the drawer, took out a cigar, and held it to his mouth.

Colonel Duke lit it for him with a spiritual energy fire, and in the thick smoke, the mid-aged general said in a deep voice:

“I trust my grandfather!

Not because we share the same surname, but because he was once the most astute Psychic Master under the Hero King, and his awareness of danger even earned Su’s approval.

So if he feels I need to take action, then I indeed should heed this advice.

Irina was right.

The initial purpose of establishing the Winter Wolf Army was to guard against the invasion of the Wolf People, this is our duty and honor, we cannot evade.

Go and take action.”

“Yes, general!”
