The Beginning Of The End

Baron, and Yue Fei met up with Meng TIan and the others to start their strategic planning. They all had foul moods, they all realized that with everything that had happened previously, things were not going to be easy from here on out.

(BM) "Meng Tian, let me say before we begin that given what the enemy had done, making a statement that stuck with them was the best course of action." Baron explained.

(MT) "Forget about it Baron, I had an inkling of an idea of what would happen. I was just in denial of the whole thing after my brother was killed. What you did was indeed the best way to go, I just wasn't thinking properly at the time it happened. Though his death and the others are a great loss on our part, the show must go on." Meng Tian told everyone.

(CD) "Then what should we do? The reinforcements that were sent by the Bair fighters have halved with all the fighting that we put them through. Even if we still have a much larger army of these highly trained soldiers than our army, they have just recently started to surpass us in terms of personnel as well." Chen Di said with a worried face.

(MT) "We can only do what we can with what we have. For now, we will focus on bringing down either Li Mu or Bai Qi, those two are the cornerstone for their previous attack, and seeing as how effective they were I doubt that they would be willing to change it."

(CD) "Will I be sent to one of them?"

(MT) "Yes, I've thought long and hard about how we are going to be doing this and I have come to the realization that no matter what we do we will not be able to win this war. However, that doesn't mean that we won't be able to bring one of them down with us. What do you guys think? Li Mu or Bai Qi? Let's put it to a vote."

They voted and with an overwhelming favour of targeting Bai Qi was discovered. The main reason for this was due to the blatant disrespect that he had shown to them by promising a prisoner trade and then killing the prisoners. This was not only a huge loss of face for everyone on Baron's side, it made them look like children stumbling about in the adult world.

(MT) "With that decided, I declare that me, Baron, Guan Yu, commander Naire, and Byron will all be going in to deal a decisive blow to end Bai Qi and we'll see how that goes. Chen Di, you will go battle with Li Mu, similarly, Yue Fei will do battle with Wang Yi and Eumenes. You especially have to be careful since we did kill their brother in front of them, Yue Fei."

(YF) "Understood, but isn't this setup a little…"

(MT) "Too much strategists on one battlefield? That's the point. Yue Fei, and Chen Di, both of you need to hold out for as long as possible. That will give us time to potentially bring down Bai QI. If there are no more questions, then this concludes our meeting, good luck everyone and I hope to see you all alive and well in a few days." Meng Tian said and immediately left the room to go prepare for the battle that would soon ensue.

They all left the room one by one after wishing everyone else good luck and proceeded to go get ready as well. As much as they knew how disadvantaged they were, they were all happy beyond belief. All the wars and fighting that they had been in before was nothing compared to the high stakes that they were in right now. Truely, war was invigorating for them all, something that never fails to impress.

The next day, they all got into their respective armies and left to face all the scary odds that they were all up against. Meng Tian's group was the first to leave, but first Meng Tian, the leader of this entire group, gave a speech to all the soldiers that were fighting for them. The mood from the commanding officers had been picked up by the regular soldiers and Meng Tian felt that this was the appropriate measure to take to ensure some morale when going into battle.

This was truly the endgame now, there was little to no backup forces left in the inner regions, every single resource available to them were used. Cumulatively, the soldiers that they had mounted up was close to 40,000 along with over 10,000 military aircraft and a bunch of other weapons that were produced via blueprints. No matter what, if they don't manage to push their invaders back, or if the enemy snuck a force behind them to siege their main base, they would have lost the war and be returned back to the tournament viewing grounds within one of the Sun Alliance buildings. Where Madam Zheng, and the vanquished Meng Yi were waiting for them.

Baron, Yue Fei, Guan Yu, and Meng Tian were all mentally preparing themselves for the battle that they would be partaking in in a couple of hours. Meng Tian was the one that was concentrating the most in this aspect, he would do anything for his brother, the way that his brother fell was very disgraceful. He was entering a state in which he thought of nothing but how to somehow defeat the powerhouse known as Bai Qi.

Even though Chen Di was indeed the best aerial strategist over everyone else in his team, Meng Tian sent him off to Li Mu in order for Li Mu to be able to be stalled, even if for only a little while. After some time, Meng Tian's army got into sight of their opposing army and the war started.

Now was the time for action, nothing else would get in the way of Meng Tian's revenge.
