The long night is long, and the bones are buried in the snowfield.
After this battle.
The Night¡¯s Watch army in the Principality of Elsa suffered extremely heavy losses.
Out of a vanguard force of more than 10,000 people, only a little over 4,000 people returned safely to the military camp.
The battle damage rate once exceeded 50%
What¡¯s even more terrifying is¡ª¡ª
Most of these remnants of the defeated soldiers who fled back are still carrying various disabilities and post-war obstacles. It is impossible for them to participate in the battle again in the short term, and they must receive long-term treatment immediately.
Invisibly, it became a burden to the army.
A snap~~
Within the temporary military tent.
The table full of wine and delicacies was overturned to the ground on the spot, and all kinds of expensive silver and glassware fell to the ground.
"Trash, how on earth did you lead the troops?!"
He got up in a rage and kicked over the stove in front of him.
Wearing a pure white brocade robe, with blond curly hair scattered on both sides of his face, Mikhail gritted his teeth, raised his finger to point at Cooley's nose, and cursed.
"A total of six thousand people died in the battle, and they were defeated miserably by the Great Xia Empire in the first battle"
??Throwing his sleeves.
Mikhail was so angry that he shouted loudly: "What do you do as a frontline commander? Such a huge loss is a great shame for the principality. How can I explain it to the higher-ups above!?"
Faced with the angry rebuke of the Duke.
Cooley in the military tent still stood upright, even though the other party's saliva almost splashed on his face, he still remained motionless.
"Victory or defeat is standard issue"
Narrowing your eyes.
Cooley had no expression on his face and said coldly: "One or two defeats does not mean anything, nor can it change the current strategic advantage of our army."
As soon as these words came out.
Mikhail was slightly startled, and a gloomy sneer immediately appeared on his fair face.
"So, are you accusing me of not understanding military matters?"
"I, that's not what I meant." Cooley responded coldly.
"Shut up!"
He suddenly moved closer to Cooley.
Mikhail looked sinister and sneered: "The principality has sent an urgent message, ordering us to capture the 'Dog City' within three days. Once the time is up, our squad will return to the court!"
There was a pause.
Mikhail raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you know what this means?"
Secretly gritting his teeth.
Cooley did not make any reaction, but looked coldly at the descendant of the arrogant powerful man in front of him who continued to rant.
"This means that if we can't win the "Dog City" within three days, I will be in bad luck with you"
The system of the Principality of Aisha is extremely iron-blooded and dark.
"Anyone who fails to do things well will usually face the hanging after being brought to court and undergoing a superficial trial.
Even nobles, although they will not die, will still lose power within the family and be completely isolated and imprisoned from then on.
What is more terrifying is actually not death.
Many powerless but capable people will be criticized and framed, and sent directly to the cold depths of the polar regions, and become slaves without freedom and human rights, making a living by mining and logging all day long.
Those days of hardship, with no end in sight, only numbness and endless toil.
"So, there isn't much time left for you."
He turned around and walked towards the high platform in the military tent.
Mikhail staggered, kicked away the broken tables and chairs on the ground, looked back and said solemnly: "If you don't want to go mining and logging in the ice and snow, I advise you to find a way as soon as possible and capture this damned place for me in one fell swoop. The fortress city"
There was a sinister look in his eyes.
Mikhail emphasized: "Otherwise, the outcome for both of us will not be easy!"
Forced by the situation.
Even though the two had long been at odds with each other and disliked each other, in the face of the crisis at hand, they had to put aside their personal grudges and unanimously turn their guns against the outside world.
At this stage, it is definitely not the time to fight among ourselves.
Otherwise.
With Mikhail¡¯s tyrannical and capricious character, if something like this went wrong, he would punish Cooley severely no matter what.
"clear."
?He raised his chin and took a deep breath.
Cooley in front of him looked unkind and said confidently: "I already have a plan."
?¡
The cool sunshine shines through the clouds onto the streets.
After a night of wind and snow, the "Dog City" early in the morning was already covered in white snow.
The blizzard in the sky has stopped.
Walking on the deserted streets, Xue Yun clasped his hands behind his back, drooping his eyelids and looking at the rows of shops on both sides that were still closed.
The streets were crowded, and occasionally merchants would go out and quietly sweep the snow in front of their houses.
Everything seemed very depressed, and the faces of the people were full of sorrow, with almost no unnecessary expression except indifference.
"Oh, why bother?"
He shook his head helplessly.
Xue Yun sighed softly and complained: "Even if the army is approaching the city, there is no need to torment the people like this. If you let these merchants stop doing business, how will they support their families? It will not be possible for the Aisha Principality's army not to leave for a day. Let¡¯s drink the northwest wind for a day?¡±
Walking alone in front of Xue Yun.
In front of her, Zhong Limei put on a purple tight-fitting outfit. The female warrior who took off her armor lost a little bit of her heroic spirit, but she still looked very domineering.
¡°In extraordinary times, we can¡¯t control that much.¡±
He secretly rolled his eyes.
Zhong Limei did not look back and continued to lead the way. Holding back his anger, he asked: "If Longdu is also besieged by the army at this moment, how should you make a decision"
Stop.
The girl in front of him turned around and said with a perverse expression: "Let these unruly people do whatever they want and cause civil strife in the city, and then send a large army to remedy the situation and suppress them mercilessly?"
I couldn't help but feel stunned.
Hearing the impatience in the other party's tone, Xue Yun suddenly burst into laughter, not bothering to argue with this bitch.
After the battle with the enemy last night.
Today's "Dog City" has already regarded Xue Yun as a guest, not only because of his status as the "Guardian Protector", but mainly because of his strength. When he leads troops out of the city, he can even win with less.
Even the usually rebellious kid was so convinced this time that he had nothing to say.
That night.
City Lord Zhong Lizhan happily fulfilled his promise and agreed to send a night watchman team who were good at tracking targets and well aware of the surrounding terrain out of the city to help Xue Yun find the whereabouts of Ivanov and Yi Yanyang.
But, this is likely to take some time.
After all, there are many enemy troops dormant near "Dog City", and due to the heavy snow blocking the mountains, it is not easy to find a group of ordinary people hiding in the deep mountains and old forests.
Without any choice.
Xue Yun had no choice but to stay in "Dog City" temporarily.
As for the many complicated issues of arranging her food, clothing, housing and transportation, in the end they all fell on Zhong Limei.
It¡¯s just dawn.
The two of them left the city lord's palace and walked all the way towards the so-called luxury hotel prepared for distinguished guests in "Dog City". (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
