"Crackle crackle…"
Bubbles surfaced in the boiling meat soup inside the clay pot, then burst.
The well-fed guests temporarily left the scene.
Inside the stone house, only two top leaders of the Allied Army remained.
"Deputy Officer Wei, what's your take on this?"
Lord Jin, the commander of thousands who stands toe-to-toe with Miandi's regular army, asked expressionlessly.
Indeed.
From the perspective of the official Miandi Government, the Allied Army he led could be considered fully rebellious armed forces.
Of course.
Miandi has been trapped in endless turmoil for years, with factions springing up everywhere.
Take the northern region in Dongba's territory, for example. Miandi's official control over this area has long since become nominal. It's filled with independent armed forces like the Allied Army. While some groups might not be as extreme, choosing not to openly raise the rebel flag, they still follow orders selectively, feigning loyalty while acting otherwise.
