"According to statistics, our casualties in the battle just now reached about 2,000."
Inside the airtight metal fortress.
The princes of Daxia, headed by Xue Yun, sat together, their expressions couldn't help but look a little heavy.
He was holding the battle report that had just been delivered to him.
The Dongfang Haoyue in front of him was dressed in a smart outfit, and his tall figure was perfectly outlined, but his expression also showed some worry.
"Twelve hundred of them were killed on the spot, and the rest were seriously injured and unable to continue fighting in a short period of time."
There was sudden silence in the hall of the fortress.
It's just the Night Watch Legion facing the "Ocean Federation".
Instead of launching a small-scale encounter, the level of casualties was enough to make the big bosses present feel palpitations.
A total of more than 2,000 people were lost.
Although the death rate is only half, those injured night watchmen can no longer go to the battlefield. For today's war, there is no difference from actual battle losses.
"Asshole!"
He slapped the table hard.
Luo Qingyang's eyes flashed fiercely. The medical staff on the side were bandaging his arm. They were suddenly frightened and stopped what they were doing.
"If this continues, our few men will be exhausted sooner or later. We must find a way to solve it once and for all!"
"Lord Luo, don't get too excited."
He shook his head silently.
Gongsun Youhai sighed softly and spoke to persuade: "The anger is too great, which is not conducive to the healing of the wound. At this time, if the injury worsens, wouldn't it be more troublesome?"
He rolled his eyes angrily.
Luo Qingyang snorted and had no choice but to shut up.
"Everyone, please be patient..."
Xue Yun's tone was calm and he said in a deep voice: "Although our casualties are not small, the situation on the Ocean Federation side is definitely not much better. A direct confrontation will cause a large number of troop losses, which is inevitable. .”
"not to mention......"
Cross your hands and interlock your fingers.
Xue Yun continued: "In any war, there is no reason why people should not die."
As soon as these words came out.
The princes and city lords present could not help but be stunned, their expressions became solemn and deep.
Their current thinking is still at the level of fighting separately in the past.
The Great Xia Empire has gone through five hundred years of ups and downs, and no large-scale battle like this has occurred in the past hundred years.
Even the two famous "catastrophic civil wars" in history were not fought in the hinterland of Daxia.
In terms of casualties, it is far less tragic...
The long period of peace and comfort has made today's national night watchmen in Daxia extremely uncomfortable.
Even in the previous civil war, the princes in various places only stopped.
When encountering the powerful Imperial City Army, they would fight if they could. If they couldn't fight, they would immediately retreat and stay within the fortress city. I had never had such a tragic experience.
The sudden baptism of fire made the princes and city lords feel heartbroken.
As a result, inexplicable decadence and frustration instantly occupied everyone's mind.
"Please also understand one thing..."
He raised his head and glanced at the princes and city lords in front of him.
Xue Yun's eyes were as bright as fire and he continued in a deep voice: "This time, we are fighting a battle to defend our country. There is no other way out. If we do not deal with the enemy with the determination to die, not only will our troops and our foundations be destroyed, but we will also lose our lives. The entire Daxia Empire will become history."
There was deathly silence, and you could hear a needle drop.
All the big guys present fell silent and adjusted their mentality.
"I, Xue Yun, promise you all."
Lift your chin.
Xue Yun didn't squint, and he could see the worries in the hearts of these big guys at a glance.
"If we are lucky enough to win, I, Xue Yun, will never take advantage of the situation to bully others. The power you all have will not be substantially different from the past."
"Daxia is still the same Daxia as before..."
He pondered for a moment.
He reached out to Xuanyuan Gong, who had been sitting on the dragon chair at a loss.
Xue Yun continued: "As long as everyone is still willing to accept His Majesty as the lord of the world and promise not to bring trouble to the world, I, Xue Yun, swear that I will return the military power immediately after this battle, return to the countryside from now on, and no longer interfere with the political affairs of Daxia."
The so-called human heart is nothing more than pros and cons.
For the princes and city lords present, Xue Yun is currently the only one who can preside over the overall situation.
But after the war, when everyone's men, horses and resources were exhausted.
Whether he will suddenly emerge and take all the power of Daxia in one fell swoop is unknown.
To know.
At that time, Xuanyuan Feng relied on his tyrannical strength to lead their ancestors to sweep across the ancient and chaotic Jiuzhou Continent, thus creating the powerful Daxia Empire today.
As the saying goes, troubled times make heroes.
The princes and city lords who are well versed in the way of power change will inevitably have lingering fears about this kind of thing.
"Everyone, is this the time to talk about this kind of thing?!"
Stand up suddenly.
Hu Kui took a deep drag on his cigarette and said with an unkind expression: "With foreign enemies pressing down on our territory, if we continue to fight among ourselves, there is no need for those beasts to attack us. The Great Xia Empire will destroy itself."
All the city lords smiled bitterly, and they knew each other tacitly.
As Hu Kui said.
It's really inappropriate to still harbor grudges at this time.
"do not talk!"
Duguhan stood up suddenly and said in a deep voice: "I don't care what you think, I believe in Mr. Xue's character. From now on, I, Duguhan, and all the resources of "Rat City" will be at his disposal. I’ve spent all my money and I admit it!”
There was a pause.
Dugu Han glanced at Luo Qingyang and sneered: "Old Ghost Luo, if you are scared, you can take your men and leave here, so as not to have a big fight later, which will hinder everyone!"
"fart!"
It was also a crime.
Completely ignoring the injury on his arm, the elderly Luo Qingyang stared angrily and roared on the spot: "I am not the kind of shameless villain you said, I just felt sorry for the heavy casualties of my men, that's all! "
"They are also the flesh and blood of father and mother. I am a little sad, but I never said I wanted to give up!"
The two of them were tit for tat, and they had been a bit uncooperative before.
At this moment, I cursed my mother, and on the contrary, all the unhappiness that had been accumulated in my heart was vented, and I suddenly felt enlightened.
"Haha, there's no need to..."
Dongfang Qi, who had been silent all this time, hurriedly stepped forward to be the peacemaker, and said in a comforting voice: "Now, we are all in the same boat, and we must be consistent with the outside world. The two city lords sit down quickly, and don't hurt the harmony. That’s it.”
Ever since.
The originally solemn atmosphere was inexplicably resolved on the spot.
Everyone put aside their selfishness and prepared to discuss the next battle plan.
"Report!"
suddenly.
Everyone, including Xue Yun, suddenly heard a rapid announcement from the communicator next to their ears.
"what's the situation?!"
He immediately recognized the voice of his subordinates.
Frowning.
Duguhan quickly pressed the communicator and asked in a deep voice: "Is there any movement from the bastard from the Ocean Federation?"
"No, it's not..."
The secret whistle responsible for lurking around the position spoke nervously and hesitantly reported: "A strange team was discovered eight kilometers away to the south. They are heading towards our position."
There was a pause.
The secret whistle on the periphery continued: "And... I seem to have seen the Pig King and Sima City Lord. They... they were captured by each other!"
