anwhile.
In Wuhai City, on an old fishing boat in the harbor.
A woman with hair as red as flas and a strong presence, a bit impulsive, was squatting in a dirty and fish-slling cabin.
Two personal soldiers accompanied her, with a dirty table in front of her, weighed down by stones on top of a map of Dongye State.
Looking at the red circles and arrows on the map, the woman's expression was solemn.
She turned to her personal soldiers and asked, "Where is Scarface now?"
Her right-hand personal soldier was clearly in charge of intelligence transmission.
So, hearing her words, he quickly pointed at the position of Xinjie City on the map and said, "General Scarface has now returned to Xinjie City and has gone into hiding."
Red Hair furrowed her brows, then said, "Why has he returned to Xinjie City?"
"Wasn't it agreed that Xinjie City would be ours?"
The reporting personal soldier explained, "General Scarface said, after we got separated, we were too far from Xinjie City, and it would take so ti to get there."
"Moreover, Xinjie City is adjacent to the capital, Eastern City. It allows us to be the first to know about any movents from Huang Shangzong."
"Additionally, Xinjie City has just happened to avoid the recent series of conflicts, and under the darkness below the lamp, Huang Shangzong is likely to overlook Xinjie City, making it safer."
Saying this, the personal soldier paused, then added, "However, General Scarface also said that once we arrive, he will hand over Xinjie City to us as agreed."
Hearing the personal soldier's report, the woman's face slightly cleared, and she said no more.
However, while she did not say more, the personal soldier to her left could hardly bear it.
The personal soldier snorted coldly, then said irritably, "Scarface thinks he's the smartest, fleeing fast like a rabbit."
"This disaster at the hands of Huang Shangzong, where thousands of our troops were annihilated, is almost entirely his fault."
"He still has the gall to occupy our territory."
"If he's not up to it, he'd better hand over the command sooner. Our general tethering a dog there might even lead better than him."
The words from the left personal soldier were clearly resentful, so the personal soldier on the right quickly poked him in the ribs, reminding him, "What are you saying!"
"How can you talk about General Scarface like that, do you want to die?"
After speaking, he paused, then added, "Besides..mand isn't sothing as cheap as cabbage that anyone can have."
"The reason why the command is with the New Democratic Army is precisely because they are strong and professionally trained."
"We are not as strong as them, so we must follow their orders."
The structure of the anti-governnt ard forces varies, with both strong and weak groups.
Both the United Front and the New Democratic Army are among the largest anti-governnt forces, although they are very different.
The United Front, formally known as the Innovative United Front, was initially ford from a dozen small anti-governnt groups.
During their expansion, they were inclusive, accepting anyone or any force willing to join them.
This allowed their power to swell rapidly, but also resulted in a mix of good and bad among their ranks.
This is the core reason why Xinjie's United Front organization seems like an amateur group—they were always ant to be one.
Thus, most of the ti, the United Front does not operate like a unified force but rather a strict alliance.
In contrast, the New Democratic Army is built to military standards.
Not only is it hierarchical, but it also maintains clear chains of command and power for rewards and punishnts.
In the dozens of cities they control, they also implent martial law.
This made them more like warlords or military governnts in turbulent tis.
Not only is their combat power stronger, but their military literacy and capabilities far exceed other anti-governnt ard forces.
This fundantal difference leads to the situation where the United Front, despite having more people, must obey the commands of the New Democratic Army during joint operations.
This is also the reason cited by the confidants, why they couldn't seize command.
Hearing her two personal soldiers argue, the woman studying the map spoke sharply, "Enough."
Hearing the woman's words, the two personal soldiers imdiately fell silent.
Seeing them obedient, the woman's frown relaxed. She then said lightly, "Since Scarface wants to occupy Xinjie City, let him have it."
"He thinks he has picked up a bargain, not knowing that Xinjie City is actually the most troubleso."
"Let's not talk about others, just take the new Bureau Chief of the Xinjie City Investigation Bureau, Qiu Tu."
"Could he be a simple character?"
Hearing the woman's words, her left personal soldier quickly took over, "Right, right, Qiu Tu. That Qiu Tu has an eye like a dog's nose, sniffing out traitors and spies as if it's nothing, spot-on every ti."
The woman's right personal soldier also added, "Yes, and that Qiu Tu... he's especially good at scheming. Scheming colleagues, opponents, and enemies like us. Every move is calculated precisely."
"Anyone he targets not only gets sold out but also ends up helping him count the money."
Hearing the two personal soldiers' comnts, the woman smiled slightly, then said,
"I rember... when that guy Scarface was causing trouble in Xinjie City so ti ago, wasn't Qiu Tu precisely advancing to a Fourth-Order Catastrophics?"
After receiving affirmative responses from her two personal soldiers.
The woman said, "So, he hasn't experienced the terror of Qiu Tu."
"After so ti, he will realize, even hiding in the dragon's den of Eastern City might be better than hiding in Qiu Tu controlled Xinjie City."
