"My subordinates failed to arrive in time as planned, which put the Prime Minister in danger, and I feel extremely guilty."
"My subordinates are willing to take full responsibility and accept a military court trial after the war."
In the command tent, Ricardo knelt down on one knee towards Chen Xing and apologized for being late.
Eleven hours have passed since the general attack on Dongsi Peak. According to preliminary post-war statistics, the number of enemy casualties and prisoners reached 170,000. The remaining 130,000 were broken up during the battle and fled down the mountain.
"The commander-in-chief does not need to blame himself. The battlefield situation is ever-changing. It is better to be late than never."
Although he said words of relief, Chen Xing looked at Lacey standing next to him with a vague look.
As one of the two smart people present, how could Lacey not understand what he meant. Before he could finish his words, he said expressionlessly, "Commander Li, this is not a problem that can be solved by apologizing."
"You'd better explain why you're two hours late?" Lacey's tone was unkind and meant to question.
It's not that Chen Xing doesn't intend to hold him accountable. His elite battle group has suffered such heavy losses, and it's impossible for the other party to get away with it with just a few words.
But with his status, it is not easy to show up directly. This will raise the conflict to the level of monarch and minister, and whether they are loyal to the country, and neither side will have a step down.
Not to mention right or wrong, the war is not over yet, and Lin Yuanzheng's army is about to approach the city. Even if Ricardo was at fault, nothing could be done to him.
The commander-in-chief cannot be replaced simply by changing it, nor can military power be taken back by simply withdrawing it.
Changing generals before a battle is a taboo for military strategists. Even though Chen Xing has not received formal military education, he still understands the basic common sense of marching and fighting.
Moreover, Ricardo is not solely responsible for causing such a result.
There were two surprises in this operation. One was that the enemy commander noticed it early and responded, and the other was that Qin Musang was in the army and suddenly launched an attack, which caught them off guard.
The Gluttonous Monarch is a pseudo-god-level existence. Even if it is a clone, even if the host is weak, it cannot exert its full strength.
But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and false gods are false gods. There is no one at the scene, no spiritual master, who can match him.
The gap in strength is there. If you want to hold it back, you can only fill it with human life. There is no other way.
But even so, he still has to listen to what the other party has to say. The brothers of the expeditionary force must not die in vain!
"Lin Yuanzheng should have guessed our actions in advance, and also guessed that the Prime Minister would personally lead the team." Ricardo said calmly, showing neither resistance nor guilt.
Of course, for a smart man of Ricardo's level, the expression on his face and what he thinks in his heart are completely different things. If you really want people to see it, you won't be able to be a strategist.
"We didn't encounter much resistance along the way."
"The enemy's entire focus is on destroying the roads."
"The target of the artillery is not us, but the passage up the mountain."
"They're just doing this to delay time,"
"Most of the road up the mountain is destroyed, and our energy is focused on repairing the access."
"My subordinates estimate that Lin Yuanzheng plans to use these 300,000 reinforcements from the mainland in exchange for the Prime Minister of the Northern Alliance."
Ricardo nodded slightly, indicating that he had finished speaking.
Lacey looked thoughtful and didn't speak.
After listening to Ricardo's analysis, Chen Xing suddenly understood why the enemy troops had already held their position and could obviously occupy the advantageous terrain for defense, but they took the initiative and took the risk to encircle and suppress them. If you follow this statement, you can explain the opponent's commander's purpose.
If he, the enemy leader, can be eliminated, the loss of Dongsi Peak will not be in vain, and there may even be a profit.
That's the end of the questioning. If we continue to entangle with him, we'll be suspicious of him. The war is imminent, and the morale of the army must not be disturbed.
Next, Lacey and Ricardo began to discuss the defense work of the position. Chen Xing did not need to be responsible for these specific tasks. Taking advantage of this gap, he left the command camp and came to the wounded camp.
In addition to Ricardo's side, Chen Xing's side suffered more than 130 casualties, among which the expeditionary force suffered the most casualties. The casualties of the Second Red Dragon Army and the Steel Sisters were all in single digits.
On the expeditionary force's side, thirty-eight people were directly killed, fifty-one were seriously injured, and fourteen were slightly injured.
These people are all former members of the Thunder Light Group and the Master Group, and have followed Chen Xing through life and death. After several battles and the brutal selection of heroic potions, there are not many personnel left.
Including the attrition in this battle, there are only more than a hundred people left in total.
Those who were seriously injured were basically injured while fighting the Gluttonous Lord, and their bodies were all mutilated to varying degrees. Even if he could recover, he would have to take a back seat.
As soon as Chen Xing arrived at the wounded barracks, he saw Ye Yang Bailiu and Nancy with tired faces. Although the two of them were sitting outside the tent drinking tea, seemingly leisurely, they could not hide the tiredness between their brows.
If it weren't for their two healers, the expeditionary force's death toll would probably have doubled.
"Thank you for your hard work." Chen Xing walked up to the two of them and saluted solemnly to express his gratitude.
Ye Yang Bailiu glanced at him and continued drinking tea, seemingly too lazy to communicate with him.
Nancy stood up and returned the greeting, "The Prime Minister has spoken harshly, and this is what Nancy should do."
Nancy was the senior therapist assigned to him by the Holy Light Church. She was an innocent-looking girl with big boobs.
Normally, Chen Xing might have looked at the other person's face and chest a few more times, but now, he only had the brothers who followed him through life and death in his heart.
Although Qin Wu is dead, the mark of the abyss will not disappear. The one who left the mark was the Abyss King in the undercurrent of time and space, not Qin Wu and its clones. As long as the body of the Gluttonous Lord remains, the mark will never disappear.
They follow him like a shadow, always reminding them of the fear and power from the abyss.
After greeting the two women, Chen Xing opened the curtain and walked into the medical tent.
Looking up, the tent was crowded with wounded people. The more serious the injuries, the more concentrated they are at the door.
Chen Xing saw that the faces of the two wounded soldiers were covered with white cloth. They were obviously too seriously injured and the treatment failed. The bodies had not been carried away yet.
Although the Great Healing Technique can save the life that is about to pass away, as long as there is still a breath of life, it can be brought back to life, but the consumption is also not small. Even though Ye Yang Bailiu's spiritual power attributes are very high, his spiritual power is not infinite. On the one hand, she participated in the battle, provided emergency treatment throughout the process, and performed two major healing spells on Chen Xing.
It already consumes a lot of spiritual energy, and because he didn't get enough rest after the war, it was impossible to provide major healing techniques for every seriously injured person, so he had to be ruthless and make a choice.
In this regard, Chen Xing can only express regret and understanding.
"Boss!" "Brothers, the boss is here!"
"Captain!" "Prime Minister!"
Seeing Chen Xing, the wounded soldiers struggled to get up and say hello.
"You are all injured, so there is no need to be polite."
Chen Xing raised his hand to stop the wounded soldiers who wanted to stand up and salute, then bowed to all the wounded and said loudly, "Brothers, you have worked hard!"
"No hard work, no hard work!" "This is what brothers should do!" "Captain, you are too polite!" "Brother, what kind words can you say?"
The wounded soldiers were chattering away, and when they returned to silence, Chen Xing continued, "In the past battles, you were brave and fearless, going through fire and water, and won victory after victory for us."
"You have put in enough hard work and sacrifices, and it's your turn to rest."
"Recuperate in peace, brothers. I promise you, I will bring you back alive."
After saying that, Chen Xing bowed again.
The wounded soldiers suddenly became silent and stared at their leader silently. No one made a sound.
After a while, the wounded soldier closest to Chen Xing struggled to straighten his body, gave him a standard military salute, and said:
"Captain, following you and following Brother Tienuo is the greatest honor of my life."
"I have fought, drank, slept with women, traveled half the world, seen the big Kun go to sea, even shot the big devil, and even stabbed the false god in the back!"
"These are enough for me to brag about for the rest of my life."
"Even if I die today, my life will not be in vain."
"Captain, I know that there is no sure-win battle in this world."
"Abandon us if necessary."
“We don’t want, we don’t want,” the wounded soldier shed tears at this point, “to become a burden to our brothers!”
Two lines of hot eyes washed away the blood on his face. Although it looks a bit embarrassing, it is very touching.
"The day we came out to become mercenaries and entered the world, our brothers never thought about going back alive!"
"Stand upright and live a free and easy life. I have no regrets in my life!"
"Boss, don't worry about us!" "Brothers are not greedy for life and afraid of death!" "Chasing our dreams, we will die without regrets!"
The wounded soldiers echoed one after another and asked Chen Xing not to worry about them.
Chen Xing held back the tears that welled up, rubbed his eyes, then straightened his face and scolded loudly, "You are talking about such depressing words!"
"Whoever dares to say another word about losing the war, I will immediately send him to the Military Justice Department and treat him as treason!"
"I said I would take you back alive, but that means death. You have to go back to die!"
"Do you think what I said was fart?"
"I am the prime minister of a country, don't you want to lose face?"
"Let me tell you, I will not only take you back alive, but I will also arrange a woman for you after you return!" Chen Xing changed the topic and started to become more serious, "One for each, no bully!"
"Make sure you all have a wife and children to keep your bed warm."
"Okay, okay!" Chen Xing raised his hands, and then added, "If anyone objects, his share will be mine."
"Damn it, the leader is so arrogant!" "The Prime Minister is already invincible!" "A boss like this is a good boss!"
When it comes to getting a wife, the wounded soldiers are extremely excited. They were dancing, their faces were full of joy, and their eyes were shining with expectations for a better future.
However, at this moment, a discordant voice sounded.
Strictly speaking, this is dissonant to some people in the know, but it is perfectly harmonious to the vast majority of people.
"Is she a woman like Assistant Yang?"
someone asked, and the group got even more excited.
"I heard that the boss introduced a girlfriend to Assistant Yang."
"Yes, Assistant Yang also showed me the photo. The girl looks very pretty."
"I've also met Assistant Yang's girlfriend. Her name seems to be Xiaoxuan. She's very pretty."
"Yes, I also want a cute girl like Assistant Yang's girlfriend!"
"Ahem!" Chen Xing couldn't help but cough a few times, then made a quiet gesture and said, "Xiao Yang's situation is a bit special."
"No, we want to be like Xiao Yang's girlfriend."
"It's good for you to have a good fertility!"
"Boss, you can't be partial. If Assistant Yang has it, we should have it too!"
"That's right, boss, you can't be partial!"
"Xiaoxuan!" "Xiaoxuan!" "Xiaoxuan!" "We want Xiaoxuan!"
The wounded soldiers followed suit and shouted Xiaoxuan's name.
Chen Xing was a little embarrassed. After all, the truth about Xiao Yang was cruel. With a change of thought, he walked to the entrance, opened the curtain of the medical tent, and called Nancy in who was drinking tea and resting outside.
Nancy is a senior therapist of the Holy Light Holy See. She has a holy aura. She is also known as the "Healing Angel" in the military and has a high status. Seeing her come in, the injured soldiers who were making noises immediately fell silent.
They didn't understand why the boss suddenly pulled Nancy in, and they all looked at her.
On the other side, Nancy was suddenly pulled in and stared at in full view. She felt a little embarrassed, her ears felt hot, and her cheeks were slightly red.
I have to say, Nancy is very beautiful. That slightly shy look is even more touching, and is definitely not comparable to Xiaoxuan, the waiter at the Longshi Town Cafe.
As a healer of the Holy Light Church, she has a pure temperament and a quiet personality. She wears a pure white priest robe, and her whole body seems to be shining.
Not to mention the peerless weapon on her chest, with its undulating peaks, plump and plump, perfectly pure girl with big boobs.
"What is Xiao Yang?"
Chen Xing waved his hand and said, "We will follow this standard from now on."
The scene suddenly fell into silence, and then erupted into huge cheers.
"Long live!" "The leader is a god!" "Boss, I admire you!" "I don't obey anyone, so I obey you!"
Nancy was stunned by the sudden cheers, her eyes wide open, and she had ten thousand doubts in her heart but she didn't dare to show them.
When she goes out, everything she says and does represents the Holy Light Church. According to the rules, you can't ask more questions than you should, so she can only watch blankly.
But it seemed that she felt something again. Her ears were burning more and more, and she couldn't help but ask Chen Xing, "Prime Minister, why are they cheering?"
"They are thanking you." Chen Xing said seriously, and then drove her out, "Okay, it's okay, you can go out."
In this way, Nancy was inexplicably called in, and then inexplicably asked out.
There are a hundred thousand reasons in my heart, but I am embarrassed to ask again.
As soon as Nancy walked out, huge laughter erupted in the medical tent.
"Boss, you can't fool us!"
"Boss must be lying, there are not many beauties of this level in the country!"
"Yeah yeah!"
"The boss is a liar, a big liar!"
"Okay, okay." Chen Xing lowered his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, "You are right, it is true that we may not be able to find such a good one, but we can try our best."
Chen Xing walked down the steps. Don't brag too much, otherwise others won't believe him.
"It's better than Xiao Yang's anyway, don't you think?" Chen Xing finally said, basically still deceiving.
Although Xiaoxuan is not as good as Nancy, she is still a rare beauty in Longshi Town.
"That's right!" "Long live the boss!" "Go home alive, and your wife and children will be on the hot bed."
The wounded soldiers shouted excitedly, sweeping away the haze of pain.
