“Ah!”
“Aaah!”
“Aah!”
Wails were everywhere in the middle of the forest.
There were those who had been set alight by the fire, those who had been decapitated on the spot by Han Qianqian, and countless others who had been trampled to death alive by their own people.
A million men were now nothing more than a joke.
How mighty they were before, how wretched they were now.
The elders were protected by a group of close friends and subordinates, and although there were no accidents, they were still in an almost desperate state.
They were the first to break out of the encirclement, but did not dare to stay for a moment. The fire was spreading so quickly that they had to step up their pace to get out of the danger zone as quickly as possible.
It was nearly half an hour later that the gang finally felt that they were no longer surrounded by scorching heat, and only then did they slow down and let out a long breath of relief.
When they looked back, Han Qianqian was still in mid-air in the distance, frantically blocking the people who were trying to escape.
The area where Han Qianqian was located was now covered in black smoke, and even the fire was almost impossible to see clearly.
“Keep up with how many people.” The elder wiped the hot sweat from his forehead and asked the crowd beside him.
The men looked at each other and two of them got up and left to check the numbers at the back.
But in a few moments, those two men returned.
“Back to the elders, the group that is currently following us closely is about …… about less than 100,000 in number.”
“What? One hundred thousand? Less than 100,000 of my total army of over a million are still left?” The elder was stunned and shocked, and then filled with anger.
“When the fire started, the scene was really chaotic, some brothers might have been burnt to death, and some brothers got lost in the fire and did not follow us for a while.”
The elder fell softly to the ground with a thud, finding it hard to accept the result for a while.
Even if we had found the group of soldiers who had run away, then, according to the eye
Even if the scattered soldiers were found, then, based on the current situation, I am afraid that there would be less than half a million people alive.
After fighting for so long with a total of 1.8 million men, the result is that Night Sky City has not been taken, but our own side has lost less than half a million men. How ironic is this?
“Gentlemen, do we still have the face to go back to see our Supreme Lord?” The elders laughed bitterly.
The crowd of people instantly lowered their heads.
No matter what excuses there were, no matter what reasons there were again, they could not get away with failing in their duties when such a huge advantage was fought like this.
“Elder, Night Sky City doesn’t have much strength now either, should we reorganise a wave and fight back?” Tian Lu said with some reluctance.
It was feared that going back if we lost the fight would be a death sentence, killing back towards the front might still be a chance to win.
“Fight back? Do you think I don’t want to?” The elder shook his head in anguish.
He actually knew very well that they were no longer fighting back
the qualifications and capital to go back.
The lack of troops was one thing, but the most important thing was that the breath was gone.
All the soldiers are now scared to death of such a devastating blow, and have lost all confidence in their superiors.
If they were forced to gather together at this point, what would be the point of putting together numbers?
A king’s division that can fight is already more than a man’s strength alone.
But they, they had nothing.
“Then, Elder, should we just retreat back? Let’s not talk about whether we will be punished for going back, but how can we handle this Night Sky City in the future? They have clearly tended to Han Qianqian, if …… if we are completely defeated, this Night Sky City will not be completely mutinous? You have to know how much profit Night Sky City has brought us.” Tian Lu said anxiously.
“You are right, but this matter is not something that I
us defeated generals to consider anymore, go back and report to His Holiness and see how his elder will handle it.” The elders replied.
“Yes!”
The elder sighed and looked at the crowd, his heart was not willing.
He had prepared for so long and waited patiently for so long, but he hadn’t thought that after a few crises it would make him a bit chaotic, and it was because of this chaos that he ended up being miserably and greatly defeated by others directly with this kind of fire!
Who would be willing to do that?
No one would.
It was an absolute oppression, only to be slandered a little by little for various reasons to lose whatever so-called bullsh*t advantage that didn’t seem to be significant.
In the end, the mountain rains, these small advantages that look insignificant come together in the end and completely overwhelm everything he has at once ……
Thinking of this, he got up and walked slowly towards the outskirts of the forest, his back was so lost that it made people feel heartbroken ……
