Chapter 1400: Promotion
In the center of the kingdom's capital.
Inside the majestic palace was the divine court, the center of the kingdom's faith and part-time military command center.
The priests quickly passed through the courtyard, but their expressions weren't very good.
----
In a spacious office.
*Knock, knock, knock...*
The man was leaning on a leather chair. His forehead was covered with a hot towel, and his fingers tapped lightly on the table in front of him.
The light in front of the table distorted and a vague figure appeared out of nowhere.
— I told you, don't come to my place unnecessarily, " said the man with a hot towel on his forehead.
— Aren't we retreating? a woman's voice asked back.
— This is the best option possible. Since you came to see me again, what did those crazy people do this time?
— Uh-uh... The shadow's voice sounded a little helpless.
— What did they do? the man asked and pulled the hot towel off his forehead.
— Solomon attacked a medium-sized neighboring country.
— Is that all?" — What is it? " he asked, and frowned. There were many crazy people among his subordinates, so he wasn't surprised by Solomon's behavior.
— Ghost castrated one of our own...
— Something else? "What is it?" he asked, and began to rub his temples.
— Hum... Five contractors from Holy Paradise have been abducted and are being held for ransom.
— …
The veins on the man's forehead throbbed.
— I'm not interested in that.
— This... A contractor named Sven formed a group of rebels.
— The rebels? the man asked with obvious bewilderment.
— There are already more than three thousand of them. They want to raise a rebellion in the kingdom and change their system. They are ready to die and very brave on the battlefield. What's even stranger is that the guy named Sven doesn't seem to have any intention of becoming a puppet. Although the alliance will deal with him sooner or later, this gang will cause us quite a bit of trouble in the near future.
— This... Hardly good news... " the man didn't seem ready to deal with Sven.
— And he's targeting our guild, according to the information.
— M? " the man was confused. Although he was wise enough, he couldn't guess the madman's train of thought.
— The exact reason is unclear, but he's targeting us.
— You can go now — " the man said, and thought about it. He was the leader of the Nunchang Guild and was forced to think not only about the Holy Paradise contractors 'retaliation, but also about the Apocalyptic Paradise contractors, so now he would also have to think about his" allies».
— The outcome depends on these people, Gulu, Solomon, Smoker and Byakuya. If they team up... " the man muttered and smiled bitterly, he himself felt that it was unlikely. In terms of strength, the Reincarnator Paradise was the strongest, there was no doubt about that. The contractors who were able to move up to rank four in such brutal conditions were a level above the gopniks from Holy Paradise or the flowers from the greenhouse from Apocalyptic Paradise.
But the biggest problem of Paradise for Reincarnators was the lack of unity. The only thing he could do was try to combine them. Yes, it seemed like a very difficult task, but he had a plan.

In the valley.
Su Xiao pulled the pin and threw the grenade right in front of the trench opposite.
*Boom!*
After the explosion, it became quiet.
The kingdom's army couldn't stop the Alliance army's advance.
This place was bombed five minutes ago. This time, Su Xiao was lucky and not a single shell landed on his head. He felt that this was due to the Goddess of Fortune's skill. If he didn't have one, there was a 60% chance that one of the projectiles would have landed on his head.
— Are you ready?" Su Xiao asked and looked at his assistant, who gave her a thumbs up in response.
A moment later, a rifle was held up with a white cloth hanging from it.
The white flag meant the same thing in many worlds.
The assistant shook her rifle, but before she could show her head, hands began to rise in a nearby trench.
Kingdom soldiers raised their hands.
— Cease fire! a loud roar came from the trench opposite. - Drop your weapons and crawl out!
Su Xiao placed his hand on the hilt of his sword and prepared to use Dragon Shadow at any moment.
After seeing Su Xiao and his assistant climb out, about a dozen kingdom soldiers also climbed out of the trenches.
Dozens of alliance soldiers immediately surrounded them.
The alliance's advance was so wild that the kingdom's army literally surrendered one territory after another without fighting.
Their morale was at rock bottom.
A few minutes later, they were gathered together and completely disarmed.
— Woman, you surrendered first, " one of the kingdom's soldiers said, perhaps because he didn't want to be accused of voluntarily surrendering in the future.
— I'm Betty Annette of the Twelfth Regiment, and here's my ID card, " the assistant said, and took out her ID card from her pocket.
The sergeant took it and quickly realized that it was genuine.
— Why were you in the same trench as the enemy? the sergeant asked.
— We were ordered to infiltrate the enemy's rear. I work with a soldier from the second Corps of the Special Emergency Response and Strategic Cleanup Forces with the rank of lieutenant.
When the sergeant heard the slightly long title, he was at first stunned, and then asked in bewilderment — - Sweep group?
— Here's my officer's ID, " Su Xiao replied, and handed the sergeant the officer's ID that Skane had given him after his release from prison.
— Hello, sir, I'm from the second - " the sergeant immediately saluted him.
Su Xiao was several levels above him in rank.
About a dozen of the kingdom's soldiers watched in disbelief.
The assistant waved and smiled at them, looking very sinister.
A dozen unfortunate captives were tied together, while Su Xiao and his assistant sat in front of the fire and ate pressed food.
The situation was developing on a very unexpected course. According to the intelligence, the kingdom's army was retreating on all fronts. Yes, the soldiers were not feeling well right now, but the losses among them were not as great as expected.
Judging from their movements, the kingdom's commanders were clearly planning to gain a foothold on the kingdom's borders.
Su Xiao's quest was still active, and most importantly, it was easier to complete.
At the very least, getting behind enemy lines was much easier now.
However, the problem was that if he didn't have time to get behind enemy lines before the enemy gained a foothold on the borders, it would clearly become harder to get through the defensive structures.
The fact that the kingdom would now be fighting in its home territories gave it several advantages at once. At a minimum, this significantly simplified the supply and conduct of various tactical measures. In addition, heavy defensive lines were set up on the border of the kingdom, starting with fortresses and ending with trenches made of concrete and spiral steel.
The Alliance would have to fight right on the borders of the kingdom, so one could imagine how big of a problem it would be to supply the army.
After resting for about ten minutes, the company, along with Su Xiao, continued to advance, crossing the scorched ground that had been exposed to artillery fire for many years.
The progress was smooth. The kingdom's troops had mostly retreated by now, which was why they often encountered empty military camps along the way. Some of them were abandoned in a clear hurry.
