Duan Ling Tian, Xiao Yu, and Xiao Xun were startled as they walked out of their tents.
The dense mass of nearly 90,000 officers kneeling in front of the tent was emitting a sound wave filled with wailing and hatred. This voice spread throughout the Unceasingly Evolving City, causing the entire city to appear as if it was enveloped in dark clouds.
The residents of the Blazing Endless City now gathered in the streets and alleys, and they all had gloomy expressions.
"I originally thought that since the Crimson Wyrm Army had arrived, it would definitely be able to cooperate with the border army to take the spirit tip of that Southern Champion Kingdom … But I never imagined that they would actually return after suffering a crushing defeat! "
"Huh! This has nothing to do with the Crimson Wyrm Army. It was all due to strategic strategies that directed the battle blindly. He's the one who caused the border troops to suffer the losses of over 10,000 officers!"
"How do you know?"
"I have a cousin who's in the border force, and he's currently with his brother, pleading with the General to pass the death sentence on to the strategist!"
"A single strategist led over 10,000 officers to their deaths? He certainly deserved to die! Why do they still have to beg?"
"The identity of the strategist is not simple. He is the son of our Prime Minister of the Crimson Sky Kingdom, and his name is Gu Xuan!"
. . .
Everywhere within the Unceasingly Developing City, similar discussions spread.
For a time, public sentiment also emerged outside.
Hu Wei An stood in front of the central tent. His male eyes were filled with tears as he looked at the nearly 90,000 attendants, and he had a face full of grief. However, he was at a loss for words for a moment.
"General! If you're worried that Gu Xuan is the Prime Minister's son, we can do it ourselves, we're not afraid!"
"Yes! We're not afraid!
"General, injury, and death are inevitable when soldiers go to war. If we have killed more than 10,000 people from the Southern Champion Kingdom, we will accept it as inevitable! But this time, over 10,000 of our brothers were killed, while the death toll from that Southern Champion Kingdom did not even amount to 1,000! "
"Our brothers cannot die in vain!"
. . .
The crowd of officers had red eyes as their imposing demeanor shot into the sky.
"More than 10,000 officers from our own side died, but even 1,000 enemy officers did not die?" Duan Ling Tian frowned.
Although he had hoped that Gu Xuan's strategy would not work, he had never imagined it would fail so pitifully ….
He understood in his heart that even if this Gu Xuan was able to get through today, he would probably be cursed for eternal shame, let alone inherit the position of Prime Minister!
Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun were also stunned.
They only knew that over 10,000 Crimson Sky Kingdom officers had died, but they did not know the specific losses of the enemy.
Now that they heard about the enemy's losses, they fell silent for a moment.
"Over 10,000 officers killed even 1,000 enemy officers' lives?" Xiao Xun and Xiao Yu glanced at each other. They could see the anger in each other's eyes.
"This Gu Xuan deserves to die!" Xiao Xun's face was drowned.
Over 10,000 resolute and unyielding men were taken to their deaths by Gu Xuan just like that!
This was actually an act that angered both humans and Gods!
Inside the middle tent, Gu Xuan's face was deathly pale as he descended to sit on the floor. His legs became soft, and he could not stand for a long time.
He could feel the fury of the horde of border military officers outside. He did not doubt it in the slightest that if he ran out at this moment, he would definitely be blown to pieces!
"I want to leave this place, I want to leave this place …." Suddenly, Gu Xuan's gaze shone as if he had grasped a soul-saving straw.
The two people who had always been followed by Gu Xuan's side hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking. "Brother Gu Xuan .. You should go out and apologize."
"Sorry?" Gu Xuan's face sank, and his gaze became slightly cold. "Are you asking me to apologize? It can't be!"
Outside the tent.
No matter how He Wei An was persuaded, the crowd of officers were still unwilling to retreat.
"We will kneel down and won't rise until Gu Xuan dies!"
"Yes! We will kneel down and will not rise until Gu Xuan dies!"
. . .
The crowd of officers said, with a firm tone.
In the end, even He Wei An really did not know how to persuade them anymore. He could only see Nie Fen looking for help, wanting to see if Nie Fen had any way.
Nie Fen nodded to He Wei An before standing up.
"I assure you all, as long as you stand up and return, we will expel Gu Xuan from the Unceasingly Developing City and make him return to the Imperial City! Moreover, in at most three days, we will once again send our soldiers and take revenge for our 10,000 dead brothers! " Nie Fen's voice was firm and resolute.
Seeing the crowd of border military officers seem completely unconcerned by what he said, Nie Fen continued, "I know that you all doubt my promise … But what happened yesterday is something you all saw with your own two eyes. You all know why I was able to see the situation change immediately yesterday and was able to lead my 10,000 brothers from the Crimson Wyrm Squad to cover everyone retreating? "
What Nie Fen said caused the gazes of all the border army officers present to suddenly shine.
Nie Fen continued, "Actually, this is not because I can predict going forward. It was because a student of the Star Mastermind Department of Paladin Academy had warned me before I went to war .. He told me that if I saw a certain situation, then I should retreat firmly! "
"General Nie, aren't all the students of the Mastermind Department of the Star Paladin Academy participating in the planning of the war tactics this time around? Since he knew of the existence of weaknesses before, why didn't he immediately speak up and avoid this disaster? " One of the strategists standing behind He Wei An frowned and frowned slightly.
“He was not in the tent at the time, nor did he participate in the plan.” Nie Fen looked at the strategist with a calm gaze as he spoke.
"Could it?" He Wei An seemed to remember something, and his students shriveled.
He still can't believe it.
If that was the case, then he could not break free from the mistake!
Duan Ling Tian was standing in the distance when he heard what Nie Fen said and noticed Nie Fen staring at him .. He knew that Nie Fen was definitely planning to sell him!
Duan Ling Tian shook his head and brought Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun, who had puzzled expressions, as he walked out with large strides to stand beside Nie Fen.
"It's all of you!" The faces of the two strategists behind He Wei An turned pale, and their eyes emitted a sense of disbelief.
Could it be that the Star Mastermind Department students who warned Commander Nie were these three Grade 1 students? The 1st grade students who were given cold shoulders and expelled by them?
Their faces became a little unsightly.
"The one beside me is a peerless genius whose name has spread and engendered many discussions within the Crimson Sky Kingdom, Duan Ling Tian! The others only knew that the natural talent of Ling Tian's brother in Martial Dao was the highest; however, they did not not know that he had a very deep understanding of the tactics of war! Before I went to war, it was he who told me to be wary of two types of situations. He said that if one of the two situations arises, then I should step back at the first possible moment …. "
"At first, even I felt that both situations were exaggerated. It was only after one of them actually appeared that I realized that his judgment on that day was not wrong! So, I decided at the right time to bring along the Crimson Wyrm Army to protect all of you in the retreat.. Otherwise, your loss would not be only 10,000 brothers, it might even be 30,000, 40,000, he said, or even 50,000! " Nie Fen's loud voice was very influential.
"General Nie, we all thank you for saving us! However, I don't understand what you're saying. Since this younger brother is also a student of the Star Mastermind Department, and since he noticed the flaws in the tactics Gu Xuan formulated, why are we all still carrying out attacks according to Gu Xuan's tactics? " A Colonel from the border troops kneeling at the front asked the question that was in the hearts of almost everyone present.
Duan Ling Tian's brows were knitted and he stood up. "This is something I can tell you!"
For a moment, everyone's gazes descended on Duan Ling Tian.
Duan Ling Tian's tone was calm; it was as if he was recounting something completely unrelated to him. "That day, me and the two people behind me had originally participated in the tactical scheme against the Southern Barbaric City .. However, later, Gu Xuan said that we would only get in the way and would be useless! And he is confident he can penetrate the Southern Barbaric City without us. "
"At that time, General He's mind was fooled by what Gu Xuan said, and he felt that we were young, we were only 1st grade students of the Star Mastermind Department of Paladin Academy, so he kicked us out! Then, even though I I have seen flaws in Gu Xuan's tactics, the flaw is something that is difficult to convince someone if not through actual combat, with our status at that moment, even if we had said something, no one would believe us, "Duan Ling Tian said slowly.
"I can see this!" Nie Fen added, "At that time, even I didn't really believe what was called the mistake that Ling Tian's brother spoke of; otherwise, it would have been a mistake, I will absolutely not let the 10,000 brothers from my Crimson Wyrm Army take the risk!"
What Duan Ling Tian said caused the crowd of soldiers to gather flames of fury within their hearts that could flood the sky, and what Nie Fen said looked like a fuse that ignited the flames of their fury, it caused them to explode!
"That's Gu Xuan again!"
"He has no ability but envies talent. He got rid of Ling Tian's brother who had courage and wisdom!"
. . .
For a moment, the crowd of border military officers all spoke with sadness and resentment.
Putongs!
Suddenly, the scene became silent, and all that remained was a sudden kneeling sound.
He Wei An who was kneeling in front of the crowd of attendants with a reddened face. "Brother, this incident happened due to my lack of consideration .. It was all my fault, He Wei An!"
"General He, it doesn't need to be like this. You are influenced by others . After all, my age and experience are things that normal people cannot convince." Duan Ling Tian lightly smiled as his voice echoed.
"Absolutely. What Brother Ling Tian said was true. This incident has nothing to do with General He!"
"It has nothing to do with General He!"
. . .
The crowd of officers all spoke in a loud voice.
Hu Wei An's eyes showed gratitude and guilt when he saw Duan Ling Tian speaking for him.
"Ling Tian!" Inside the tent, Gu Xuan gritted his teeth with a face full of hatred.
Wasn't Duan Ling Tian talking like this going to push all responsibility onto him?
Although, he had to admit that it was indeed his responsibility.
Not long after, Duan Ling Tian's voice once again entered the tent, and it caused Gu Xuan's eyes to shine.
"Everyone, I understand your thoughts of hoping for nothing more than to kill Gu Xuan. But I still hope you all can calm down and think for General He's sake. That Gu Xuan was the son of the Prime Minister God after all, and his status was distinguished .. If he were to die in the Unceasingly Developing City, all of you might be fine, you might all be fine, but General He will definitely be affected! "
