As Charlie was returning to Hamed's base by helicopter, Hamed, who had learned of Charlie's return trip in advance, could not wait to come out and greet him. 1

As soon as Charlie got off the helicopter, he could not wait any longer, and he came forward as he asked," Brother! My scouts said that they seem to have seen the soldiers from the government capturing all of the people from Ten Thousand Armies through the drones. What is going on?"

Charlie smiled faintly and said, "The government has already fallen out with Ten Thousand Armies. All of the soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies have already been captured, and the government has also agreed to a truce with you. In the future, you should try to mind your own business and maintain a neutral stance with them as much as possible if there are no special circumstances." 2

Hamed was suddenly a little dumbfounded, and he spoke up and asked, "Brother... why did the government suddenly have a fallout with Ten Thousand Armies? This... this is all too sudden, right?"

When Charlie saw that Hamed was appalled, he then told Hamed about the entire incident in detail.

Hamed was stunned when he heard everything, and h e blurted out, "Brother... I envisioned countless possibilities after you left, but I really did not expect this kind of thing to happen..."

Charlie laughed and said, "I did not expect it either. What I initially thought of was that I would go and place Zayne Carter under my control. After that, I would coerce him into escorting me and Sheldon Schulz away. However, I did not expect that he would take the initiative to attack Sayid as soon as Ten Thousand Armies' plan and state of affairs were revealed. That gave me the opportunity to wipe them out."

Hamed could not help but give Charlie a thumbs up as he exclaimed, "Brother Wade, you have really gained a huge return from a very small effort!" As he spoke, he could not help but ask Charlie," Brother, do you really think that I should call a truce with the government?"

Charlie nodded and said firmly, "Of course you should call a truce. You might have strong defenses and a lot of strategic reserves now, but no matter how many strategic reserves you have, it would be exhausted eventually. It will definitely do you no good to continue with the stalemate."

Hamed said awkwardly, "Actually, I'm not saying that we should fight them to the end. It's just that I'm afraid that their willingness to call a truce now is just a kind of delaying tactic. What should I do if they start attacking me again once they are already free?"

Charlie said seriously, "I asked you to stop going to war with them, but I did not ask you to surrender. As soon as there is an armistice, you can continue expanding your armaments and building your defense line. Besides, they will not be surrounding you anymore after the armistice, and you can resume the transportation of your supplies and materials. You can also hire even more construction teams to help you build your base. In that case, your force will grow stronger and stronger, and you will also have more initiative even if they decide to fall out with you one day."

Hamed thought about it carefully, and he realized that what Charlie had said really made sense.

No matter how strong his strategic

reserves were the days of being under an enemy's siege would always be the most dangerous and difficult, Since the opponent would withdraw their troops after the armistice, that would be tantamount to giving him the opportunity to catch his breath. Therefore, he would have to seize this opportunity to continue improving his defense capabilities. 4

So, Hamed said excitedly, "Brother, I understand. Don't worry. I will definitely do my best to make the construction of my base even more solid!"

Charlie nodded slightly, and he spoke up again, "I believe that it would not be long before Sayid comes over personally to sign the armistice agreement with you. I also asked him to bring Zayne Carter over here with him. After you sign the armistice agreement, I will take Sheldon Schulz and Zayne Carter back to Oskia with me."

Hamed asked, "Brother, you're leaving so hastily?

Aren't you going to stay for another two more days?"

Charlie waved his hands and said, "No. There are still a lot of things that I have to do after I go back. This is especially so because the Tombz Sweeping Festival is just around the corner and in Oskia, this is a festival dedicated to paying homage to our ancestors. I want to go back and pay my respects to my parents, so I will not stay here and delay it any longer."

With that being said, Charlie did not attempt to conceal the truth as he said, "Besides, the conditions here at your base are really tough. I cannot get anything that I need here, and there is not even a single tourist attraction here. It would be pointless for me to stay here for another two days. So, I will go back first."

Hamed forced a smile and said,

"Brother, you're right. This place of mine is really not that interesting, and the conditions here are also relatively harsh. However, you can rest assured that I will start a new round of infrastructure construction immediately after the armistice. When the time comes, I will dig out a few high-end guest rooms on the mountain so that I can entertain you well when you come over next time!"

Charlie smiled in agreement on the surface, but he

was secretly thinking to himself that he really did not want to come to this kind of godforsaken place anymore in the future. 1

Three hours later, Hamed's scouts sent word that the government had begun to retreat. 5
