in the name of the queen.

Chapter 250 Chapter 249 The president smiles, life or death is uncertain
"What did you say? Xidai City was attacked?!"

Marco's eyes narrowed, and there was an imperceptible tremor in his tone.

He stared at the new intelligence chief Dubka in front of him, and couldn't believe his ears.

At this moment, he is stationed in Leon City on the central plateau of Jin Yuan Kingdom.

It is almost the same distance from La Cité and Port-If, and is the geographical center of the Kingdom of Golden Kite.

If the land in the central plateau were not relatively barren, it would have the potential to become a capital city.

Unfortunately, the plateau area lacks water transportation capacity, and the city of Leon can only support a few hundred thousand people.

A city with a population of hundreds of thousands as the capital is not worthy of the international status of Jin Yuan Kingdom.

Using the city of Leon as an advance camp, Marco did not choose randomly, but after careful consideration.

The terrain of the Central Plateau is flat and condescending. No matter which direction they attack from, they will be easily discovered by the defenders and attacked head-on.

There are lakes, rivers, and food and material warehouses here. Even if the war situation is unfavorable, you can use this place to fight back.

As long as he holds the central plateau, he will be invincible.

The supplies transported from the great plains to the north where Cité was located were constantly assembled in the city of Leon and distributed by him to the frontline troops.

With food and supplies in hand, there is no fear of rebellion by the frontline troops.

Just a few minutes ago, he was placing chess pieces on the sand table based on the latest information, planning how to capture the other old nobles after defeating Alina.

He never thought about how to lose.

Now he knows.

Steal home.

Facing Marco’s anger, the new intelligence chief Dubka scratched his head and whispered:

"Your Excellency, the city defense of Xidai City is intact. It was not breached, but the city gate was opened from the inside to welcome the enemy into the city. There is a traitor in our ranks."

Marco was silent for a long time and then laughed suddenly.

He smiled so relieved that the legs of the intelligence chief standing opposite him were almost weak from fear.

When the president smiles, life or death is uncertain.

People who are not familiar with Marco are afraid of his stern face. In fact, although his stern face is scary, he is still traceable. Even the great goddess may not know what he is thinking when he laughs wildly.

Just when Dubka was dominated by fear, Marco restrained his laughter and lowered his voice and asked:

"How many people know about this now?"

"I am the only one who knows now that the intelligence agent who sneaked out from Xidai City was seriously injured and died just after reporting."

"very good."

Marco smiled and patted Dubka on the shoulder, and said softly: "Dubka, I will take care of your family for you. Go in peace."

While talking and laughing, his hand grasped Dubka's throat like a pair of iron pincers and twisted it gently.

Dubka's neck turned back 180 degrees and was severed on the spot.

His eyes widened and his life froze.

At this time, less than twenty days had passed since he took over as the intelligence chief.

Marco looked around, took off a spear from the wall, thrust it into the ground casually, and quietly dug out a large piece of soil.

He dug a big hole several times, then stuffed Dubka's body into it and filled it with soil.

After all, Dubka was a high-ranking official. If he was found dead in the presidential study, it would definitely shake the morale of the military.

After handling the scene, Marco put away the spear as if nothing happened, hung it back on the wall, and stared at the sand table carefully.

The news of the fall of Xidai City only shocked him for a short while, and now he has completely calmed down.

He never cried over spilled milk and even planned to use the milk to trap new prey.

The fall of Xidai City was a foregone conclusion, and he had to find a way to turn defeat into victory.

The bad news is that he has lost rear support, but the good news is that he has a large amount of food supplies that can still sustain him for a while.

How to do?
According to normal people's thinking, Xidai City must be recaptured as quickly as possible.

But Marco is not a normal person, he is a madman, a brilliant madman.

Just march north and you're done.

In a few days, the whole army will know that Xidai City has fallen, and their morale will collapse instantly.

Marco is well versed in military affairs and understands the importance of morale.

He personally led 8,500 elite troops to defeat the conservative army of 170,000 troops. He relied on using new troops with high morale to repeatedly trample the chaotic and confused enemy. After careful observation, Marco's eyes were fixed on the south.

Alina was full of momentum and had marched about 800 kilometers north. Now she was in Ronald City, less than 200 kilometers away from him, with the ice front pointing directly at Leon.

As she advances, her following grows, now numbering over three hundred thousand.

There was a bit of a sneer on Marco's lips.

The original plan was to wait for Alina to gather all the rebels and then catch them all, but it seems that they have to close the net in advance.

He didn't take Alina seriously at all, and even wanted to use Alina as bait for fishing.

This should have been an excellent layout, but it was a pity that the network had to be closed in advance.

Marco made a split second decision.

He must march south immediately.

As long as the march speed is fast enough, the bad news of the fall of Xidai City will not be able to catch up with him.

As a rough estimate, it will take at least ten days for the bad news to catch up with the main force.

This is enough!

It only takes a week to defeat Alina.

No, it won't take that long. Two days of marching and one day of fighting are enough!

Marco is confident about this.

As long as Alina is crushed, Roland will have no choice but to get out in despair.

Military is the continuation of politics, and Roland is an excellent politician who will not ignore the importance.

He had the means to sneak attack on Xidai City, but he had no reason to hold on.

At that time, he could even hold a sumptuous dinner to thank Roland for helping him catch all the hidden moles.

Marco called his adjutant and gave him orders.

"Let the whole army seize the time to rest. I will personally lead the cavalry troops to set off tomorrow morning. The army will follow as quickly as possible. I will defeat the rebels in Ronald City!"

The adjutant did not dare to ask the President why he acted suddenly. He was only an adjutant, not the chief of staff. He should not ask questions so that he could live a few more days.

After leaving the camp, the adjutant let out a long breath and cursed fiercely in his native dialect.

He cursed without beginning or end, and only he knew who he was scolding.

It was so hard to do things around Marco.

Who knows one day I will lose my head.

He just smelled a trace of blood in the president's room.

He didn't know which unlucky guy was killed by the president himself, but he was sure to be a high-ranking official.

For someone with such a low status, the President would not even bother to do it himself.

If only Miss Alina could win.

The adjutant was startled by his bold idea.

He quickly dispelled this rebellious thought and quickly slipped away with his head lowered.

Don't interfere with the big shots' affairs!

Although he sympathized with Miss Alina in his heart, he did not think Alina could win.

President Marco may not understand construction, but he understands struggle very well.

If he fights with his old man, his nine heads will not be enough to pick him off.

Miss Alina may have some abilities, but can she be better than her father?
Mr. Carlo was secretly manipulating the political situation and was killed by Marco. Can Alina and these mobs rebel?
Although he didn't dare to express his opinions in front of Marco, he knew military matters.

Alina's troops appear to be powerful, but are actually a ragtag group of people.

Her troops are composed of noble private soldiers, merchant armed forces, mercenaries, dock workers and even peasants.

Can this kind of team fight?
What a joke.

When President Marco's light cavalry arrives, the battle will turn into a one-sided massacre.

Thinking of Alina helplessly watching the army collapse, the young adjutant somewhat sympathized with her.

She was once the most beautiful iris in Xidai City and the admired object of countless young people.

Her neck is so beautiful, and the blood that rushes after it is cut off must be beautiful, right?
