Caught in a pincer attack and losing top-tier forces, the Great Xia Dynastys army finally couldnt hold on. They were routed by the alliance led by Lin Beifan, abandoning their armor and fleeing in disarray. In the end, the alliance forces occupied the White Tiger Fortress. Following that, Lin Beifan continued to lead the alliance forces, breaking through the resilient defenses of the northeastern territories.

At this point, with two consecutive defeats, the Great Xia Dynasty could no longer muster a strong resistance. They could only watch helplessly as their territory was falling, gradually losing sovereignty. After another half month, nearly one-third of the Great Xia Dynastys land had fallen. The world was stunned by this performance.

The alliance forces are too formidable! In just a month, theyve captured over three-tenths of the Great Xias territory!

This speed is truly astonishing, almost unimaginable!

Could it be that the Great Xia is really done for?

As one of the three major dynasties in the world today, can they really fall so easily?

The main reason is that the major imperial princes and their descendants, along with ministers and generals, are all vying for power, and other military forces are guarding different border fortresses. Therefore, they cant concentrate their forces to resist the alliance.

But if this continues, the Great Xia will definitely fight back!

I also believe that the Great Xia wont be finished so easily! But this is still a shameful situation for them, something they cant easily wash away! Haha!

People all over the world continued to closely follow this war, speculating about how far the alliance forces could advance and what kind of damage they would inflict on the Great Xia.

However, at this moment, Lin Beifan felt it was time to halt their advance.

Firstly, the front lines had stretched too far. Although they had suffered losses up to this point, they still had 1.5 million soldiers. While having a large army was an advantage, supplying them with food and provisions was a significant challenge. Once their supply lines were severed, it would become an unbearable burden for the alliance.

Secondly, continuing the offensive would invite a frenzied counterattack from the Great Xia. As one of the three major dynasties in the world, the Great Xias military strength was formidable. Their current poor performance was due to numerous internal issues, preventing them from concentrating their forces against the alliance. However, if the alliance pressed deeper into the heartland of the Great Xia, they would undoubtedly respond vigorously. At that point, their casualties would quickly escalate.

Thirdly, they had been fighting for a month, and the soldiers were becoming weary. Some were showing signs of homesickness, and their combat effectiveness was severely diminished.

So, it was time to pause.

So, Lin Beifan gathered the generals and announced, Generals, we can stop here. Weve gained enough territory and benefits; its time to return home.

Why stop now, Commander?

Weve had a smooth journey so far, and theres more we can conquer!

Everyone knew that, in reality, Great Wu had made the most significant contribution in this campaign!

Their contributions and achievements were merely exploiting loopholes in the rules, taking advantage of the situation. If they followed the rules precisely, even if Great Wu said nothing, they might still hold a grudge against them.

After all, they had already thoroughly offended the Great Xia. If they offended Great Wu as well, it would be game over, and they could expect their nations downfall.

Therefore, no matter what, the greatest merit and benefits had to be given to Great Wu.

First, let Great Wu have a share of the meat, and then they wouldnt covet their soup.

General Zhao, youre absolutely right! I also believe that the greatest merit belongs to Great Wu, so let Great Wu decide first! In addition, the Mo Kingdom is willing to allocate acres of land to Great Wu as a token of our gratitude for Great Wus support and assistance during these days! General Liu of the Mo Kingdom proclaimed loudly.

I agree as well

Next, generals from various countries expressed their opinions. They unanimously decided to let Great Wu have the first choice in dividing the land and were willing to allocate a portion of their own land quotas to Great Wu.

Lin Beifan was pleasantly surprised and said, Generals, how can this be?

Commander, why not? Its clear that Great Wu made the greatest contribution, so its only natural for you to choose first!

Commander, if you consider me a friend, then please dont refuse our goodwill. Please dont decline!

Commander, we kindly request you not to refuse.

Under the insistent requests of the generals, Lin Beifan was deeply moved and tearfully accepted their kindness.

Since you generals are so sincere, then I wont decline, he said.

Commander, thats how it should be, hahaha!

As a result, Great Wu obtained the privilege of choosing land first and the largest land share.

Lin Beifan picked up a brush and meticulously outlined the territory on the map, including the far eastern regions, aligning perfectly with Great Wus initial goals.

However, the price they paid was far less than what they received. After finishing, Lin Beifan was very satisfied, saying, Alright, this is the land Great Wu desires! Next, its Great Peng Kingdoms turn! General Zhao, please!

With that, he handed over the brush.
