Chapter 674, Split

On the ‘Black Star Cross’.

This is the flagship of the Black Cross Fourth Fleet, and the leader of the Fourth Fleet, Marshal Xi Rui, is here at the moment.

In front of him, there were holographic avatars of several people, all of whom had a unified identity: the remnants of the Northern Front Legion who had been rescued by the Alliance.

Qin Zhiping was sitting next to him. The presiding judge from the Foreign Religion Order is actually not low in status, but he has lost his own judgment ship and can only stay with Xi Rui on the 'Cross Black Star'.

Xi Rui has a very high status. Even among the complete Northern Front Army, he and Commander-in-Chief Leroy have the same status. They are both marshals of the Black Cross Army. However, Leroy was more senior than him in terms of seniority, and he was the first to come to the Northern Front Army to preside over the war, so Leroy served as the commander-in-chief. But there is no doubt that after Leroy, he is the most qualified person to take over as commander-in-chief.

It was true that in the previous war, when Leroy disappeared, he briefly took over the command of the entire Northern Front Army. However, the situation was irreversible, and final defeat was inevitable, and he could only break out.

But he was still capable. At least he was able to save the flagship of the Fourth Fleet under the intense pursuit of the swarm, and ran a long way east to survive the Alliance's rescue.

After he was rescued, a backbone emerged for the remnants of the Northern Front Army.

A total of more than 20 million people rescued by the alliance inevitably united around Xi Rui.

Of course, they still carry out the orders of the alliance or the Southern Front Headquarters without compromise. However, after all, we are not from the same group, and it is normal for them to cling together in private.

But a gathering like today is unusual.

They had never held a meeting before.

Not far from Xi Rui, Qin Zhiping, who was here himself, felt a little restless. His eyes frequently looked in Xi Rui's direction, full of worry.

Don't do anything stupid.

However, the situation was still changing in a direction he did not expect.

At the beginning, the topic was closed normally, just talking about how everyone is doing recently and how they escaped to heaven after the failed battle.

But later on, the topic began to deviate a bit.

They started chatting about what they were doing recently, what tasks the alliance had assigned, and how many of their troops had sacrificed in these tasks...

If these topics can be considered normal, then along with the ‘sacrifice’, there will inevitably be some complaints.

First they complained about their situation, and then they started to complain about some of the orders that cost them a lot of sacrifices, about logistical support, about equipment supplies...

And these complaints, although not stated explicitly, are not that different: they are blaming the league.

They believe that the alliance is treating them differently. They, the remnants of the Northern Front Army, are not treated as one of their own in certain tasks and military operations. Instead, they are treated as cannon fodder and expendable parts, specially responsible for carrying out executions. They had to undertake some difficult tasks, which resulted in them suffering such heavy casualties.

And the alliance will not replenish these casualties.

These statements made Qin Zhiping feel even more uneasy.

He felt that he could no longer remain silent.

Taking one last look at Xi Rui, he said seriously: "I hope everyone will listen carefully to what you are saying!"

"If there was no alliance, where would you be now?"

"I'm afraid it's either in the belly of a worm or in some cold, lightless asteroid belt. I'll be in constant panic all day long."

Qin Zhiping's unkind words made the scene quiet.

Those who attended the meeting, whether they were angry and glared at Qin Zhiping, or they avoided their eyes and felt guilty... in short, there was no way to refute.

Because what Qin Zhiping said is irrefutable fact.

But it does not prevent them from talking about this matter from some other angles.

One person said: "Judge Qin, don't be so excited."

Another person also advised: "Yes, yes, we didn't say much. What you said is true, and everyone is very grateful to the alliance. However, they are all fighting for the empire, and in the end there are What's the difference? It's all about victory, about destroying the aliens, there's no need to quarrel."

After smoothing things over, the third person spoke up: "You're right, we are all fighting for the empire, and everything can be discussed. The way the alliance treats us now, it is difficult to call it very fair..."

At this point in the conversation, before Qin Zhiping could speak again, someone made a conclusion:

"Whether it's fair or not, the Northern Front Army is not the Southern Front after all, and our command system is also different. At the beginning, our remaining troops on the Northern Front were smaller in number and more dispersed, but now, this situation has changed. We have turned around. We have tens of millions of people, the strongest battleships, and Marshal Xi Rui as our backbone..."

"The Northern Front Army has always been independent. Our relationship with the Southern Front Army is a firm ally. We will fully cooperate with Commander-in-Chief Gu's strategy. However, it must be noted that those of us in the Northern Front Army, It does not belong to the Southern Front, nor is it a subordinate of Commander-in-Chief Gu... The command system of the Northern Front Army can be completely rebuilt, please Marshal Xi Rui, continue to lead us!"

At this point, Tu Qiongdagger met.

Qin Zhiping was furious: "You are seeking division!"

No one responded.

Qin Zhiping continued to curse: "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking! A group of selfish villains..."

"Chief Judge Qin, watch your words!"

Someone cursed when he heard the word "villain".

Qin Zhiping was not afraid: "You are not worthy of my attention! I will record everything you say and do exactly as evidence. You just wait for the trial court to review it!"

This is still very deterrent.

Qin Zhiping's identity is here. If he really accuses you of treason and reports what they did to Gu Hang...something bad will happen.

The silent people stared at him.

Qin Zhiping was not afraid of these people. No matter how dangerous these guys were, they could not threaten him.

But he had to look at Xi Rui next to him.

This Black Crusaders Marshal was different.

He saw Xi Rui's eyes looking at him, and there was even a smile on his face.

Qin Zhiping had to restrain himself.

He softened his tone and said earnestly: "After the great failure in Reyaduches, don't we understand? Division, doing things on our own... these are all signs of defeat! It is the Emperor's blessing that we have a chance to start over again. You must not make mistakes!"

"What's more, here, the power controlled by Commander-in-Chief Gu is the most core and largest. Division is impossible to succeed. If he wants to suppress it, no one can escape!"
