Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!-Chapter 551 - 201: Top Holy Land? Half-step Legend? Feel the Great Terror of the Mage! (15K)_7
First, the Surrender Faction within the Goblin United Council had completely defected to the side of the Multi-Nations Coalition and had begun, following the Coalition's instructions, to quietly influence the internal situation in Wandong City.
The most typical example was Felix, the son of Chairman Ryan, who due to lack of fatherly attention and a few screws loose in his head, was fully exploited by the Surrender Faction. Using his identity, they managed to lower the guard of the core laboratory.
After all, the staff and core members at the laboratory were well aware of Chairman Ryan's full support for them.

Under the misalignment of information, they never imagined that the "trusted ally," who was considered most reliable, would unexpectedly turn the knife towards Dr. Zack.
Kael could even envision a delusional teenager, who believed he was saving Wandong City, charging in uncontested and stabbing Dr. Zack, who was smiling and walking towards him.
Subsequently, this key member of the Strategic Faction was so carelessly killed by Felix.
Following that, this brilliantly naive Felix somehow learned from who knows where that his father, the Chairman, was actually a supporter of both the Strategic and Surrender Factions.
Well, enough said.
For the justice in my heart, today I must carry out justice against my own kin.
And then, Chairman Ryan was stabbed in the back and died while taking a bath in his own tub.
Kururugi Suzaku: Felix, you're the best!
Uchiha Itachi: Felix, I have seen your determination to uphold the Will of Fire!
Dr. Zack/Chairman Ryan: ???
After all, those who are most likely to successfully stab in the back are not enemies but those deemed trustworthy.
The difficulty of breaching from within is indeed not at the same level as that from the outside.
Then, after losing their leader, the Resistance and Strategic Factions instantly turned into a disorganized mess, and a batch of ultimate weapons meant for strategic deterrence quietly vanished when no one was paying attention.
Immediately after, having lost the strategic deterrent, Felix set out with a group of youngsters, walking out the door with the proud bearing of a Savior, to quietly search for the Multi-Nations Coalition.
Once the situation was exposed, each and every one of these would-be Saviors was fed to the Undead. The Multi-Nations Coalition did not even bother to verify the information but took advantage of the opportunity to secretly release the zombie toxin into Wandong City's water supply system.
Wandong City descended into chaos, including the little girl Mira and others who turned into the Undead, totally losing any deterrent power; only the two ultimate weapons remaining in the Wandong City Research Institute were insufficient to constrain the enemy.
In the end, to grasp at a lifeline, the Strategic Faction joined forces with the Escape Faction. They planned to take a gamble: whether it was the 400,000 Wandong City residents preparing to evacuate, or those heading out of the city to fight with the Multi-Nations Coalition, one group would inevitably become the main target of the attack.
To annihilate the remnants of Wandong City in one fell swoop, it was impossible to divide forces to act simultaneously; there would definitely be one strong side and one weak side.
If the Coalition's main target was Kael's main forces, and if Kael's side won, then there would be no issue, and Wandong City would be victorious, but this possibility was exceedingly slim.
If they lost, given the mobility of the Multi-Nations Coalition, those planning to head out to sea would surely be overtaken by the Chosen Ones, leading to total annihilation.
However, if...
The Multi-Nations Coalition's main force was targeted at the unarmed 400,000 Wandong City residents!
Then, without a doubt, Kael and his companions, armed with the Scarlet Dream Blade and the Divine Armor, had a high chance of winning.
Then, with either Dr. Osborne or someone else's prior preparations, the ultimate weapons would be teleported near the escaping vessels, causing heavy damage.
That way, even if the number of survivors was small, they would all be elite veterans of the war.
Free from domestic burdens, they could go all out, increasing their chances of survival.
Above all, this forms the backdrop of the entire "Empire's Remnants" scenario.
Thinking this, Kael's face revealed a hint of anticipation.
The chess players, locked in a game of black and white, had indeed exhausted themselves striving to secure the greatest victory with the least cost.
But now, a fiery red chess piece had hopped onto the board, brazenly making its move and starting a two-against-one play as if to tease.
At this thought, even Kael couldn't help but get excited.
Before long, Dr. Osborne returned from outside, his face now wearing a benevolent smile, making him seem much more approachable all at once.
"How was it, I didn't confuse you, did I?"
Dr. Osborne nodded, with a hint of emotion, he said, "Fortunately, Captain Kael, you made preparations in advance. I extend my heartfelt thanks on behalf of the 400,000 residents of Wandong City."
Kael raised an eyebrow and said, "Thanking me so soon... aren't you underestimating our resolve a little?"
"What does the Twilight Guard Army want to do?"
"Fight! Win the battle!"
"How will you do it?"
"First, help me secretly contact the leaders of both the Resistance and Strategic Factions!"
"Okay!"

[Outside Wandong City·Black Forest]
Flo Copperbeard kicked one of his subordinates hard in the butt.
"Get up, you bastard, there's work to be done."
The drunken Dwarf belched, staggered to his feet, and upon seeing his boss's stern face, sobered up quite a bit. He promptly followed after Flo, keeping close at his heels.
