"You actually lost so much?"
Ye Chun was also surprised when he heard Lunke's report.
Before, he did expect that the multi-ethnic coalition forces that stayed behind to entangle Bernalt's first cluster would inevitably suffer huge losses, but he never thought that the reality would be so different from what he expected.
Heinrich's 140,000-strong fleet was reduced to only 30,000.
All 60 million flying war bugs participating in the war were wiped out.
In addition, the multi-ethnic troops on the ground composed of undead, elemental people and Zerg have lost more than eight floors.
This battle damage figure was really beyond Ye Chun's expectation.
According to Ye Chun¡¯s previous expectations, the cost of entangling Bernalt¡¯s first cluster would be astonishing enough to be half of this number.
But now, this number has doubled.
And this is still under the command of Cai Lin, who has the strongest battlefield command ability on our side.
Even Cai Lin frankly admits that he is no match for Bernalt, which is enough to prove Bernalt's strong military command ability.
This in turn further aroused Ye Chun's determination to conquer Bernalt.
If he can get this good general, then Ye Chun will no longer have to worry about the combat effectiveness of the newly formed fleet after the war.
¡°Coupled with McKinley who just surrendered
Ye Chun can build an iron army with extremely strong combat effectiveness.
And this iron army. Will become Ye Chun's main force against higher planes.
Ye Chun understands. After this failure, the ¡®Shang King¡¯ will definitely not die down.
He will definitely send more powerful enemies to deal with him.
This enemy may come from the ¡®cold plane¡¯, or it may come from the ¡®powerful plane¡¯.
In short, Ye Chun will face more severe challenges
Use all the power he has after conquering the five planes of 'weakness', 'death', 'element', 'greed' and 'advanced'.
By then, the 'advanced human race', which has the strongest combat power among all the races in the five planes, will become the absolute ace in Ye Chun's hands.
Ye Chun doesn¡¯t know the future crisis situation, but he must be prepared to fight another ¡®plane war¡¯ and be prepared.
?????????? Be prepared as if you were blind when a crisis occurs. That's not his style.
As a pessimist who always thinks of the worst in everything, Ye Chun pursues a fool's plan and plans for a rainy day.
Only in this way can we advance and retreat in an orderly manner. Have more chances of winning.
In fact, Ye Chun has always done this.
This is also the biggest reason why Ye Chun feels that he, an ordinary person with no great wisdom and only a little cleverness at best, can survive until now.
certainly¡¡
There is also an element of luck in this.
But in general, the former occupies the vast majority.
"If it weren't for this, he would have died so badly that his bones had rotted away.
Therefore, Ye Chun did not dare to be careless in dealing with issues related to future crises.
Ye Chun clearly knew that the result of carelessness would probably be that he would end up being caught and devoured by the 'Shang King'.
But, before that. Ye Chun must first solve the problem at hand.
Bernalt, who even Cai Lin admitted was no match for him and almost crippled the entire entangled defenders, was the target that Ye Chun was going to solve this time.
"If we can exchange these losses for this world-famous general, it will be worth it!"
After being surprised, Ye Chun suddenly laughed again.
The stronger Bernat¡¯s ability is, doesn¡¯t that just prove his value?
¡°If Bernalt was a useless person like Heinrich, with no military capabilities, then Ye Chun and even the entire new fleet formed after the war would not need him.
In this regard, Ye Chun's attitude is very clear.
"His Excellency, Marshal McKinley"
After laughing. Ye Chun suddenly turned his head to McKinley, who had already been stunned by the battle report, and called McKinley's full name very formally.
"What¡¡"
McKinley, whose soul was summoned back by Ye Chun's official call, seemed to be still immersed in the glorious achievements created by Bernalt, unable to extricate himself. When answering Ye Chun, he was obviously out of state and in high spirits.??Trance.
but. He quickly realized who was asking him, and his eyes quickly became clear.
"Sorry, Mian, I just got distracted!"
Bowing slightly to Ye Chun, McKinley quickly apologized for his distracted behavior just now.
"This is nothing. Marshal Bernalt's military capabilities are indeed shocking. In fact, I did not expect this result."
Ye Chun waved his hand lightly, and Ye Chun seemed very generous.
As a conqueror, Ye Chun still has this kind of mind.
What¡¯s more, Ye Chun has a pretty good impression of McKinley and wants to support him and take advantage of him.
"I admire your magnanimity!"
With a slight smile, McKinley also regained his composure.
And his performance immediately made Ye Chun's eyes light up.
Except for McKinley¡¯s military talent, his magnanimity alone is hard to come by.
You must know that not everyone can maintain a normal mind and laugh freely after being captured.
At least, Ye Chun has never seen this kind of state in Reinhardt.
In summary¡¡
Ye Chun came to a conclusion
McKinley may not be as good as Reinhardt and Bernalt in terms of military ability, but in terms of overall quality, he is definitely not inferior to them.
"This is the so-called no one is perfect, but everyone has their own strengths!"
Ye Chun sighed.
"What did your Majesty call me just now?"
Seeing that Ye Chun smiled and said nothing at his compliment, McKinley brought up the topic again.
He had a vague feeling. It felt like Ye Chun had just addressed himself so formally. What you say later should be very important.
Sure enough
After the old conversation was brought up again, Ye Chun's answer shocked McKinley.
"After the war, I will form a brand new fleet. I wonder if Marshal You are interested in taking up the post of chief of staff of the new fleet!"
Ye Chun said this to McKinley in front of him very seriously.
¡°Chief of Staff Chief of Staff?¡±
McKinley repeated in surprise.
"Yes, that's the Chief of Staff!"
Ye Chun nodded sincerely.
"Of course, this position may change in the future, but I can assure you that even if it changes, it will only be higher than the current Chief of Staff!"
"I see!"
After hearing Ye Chun¡¯s explanation, McKinley suddenly understood.
As expected, Ye Chun left the first two higher positions to Reinhardt and Bernalt.
And what Ye Chun just said was ¡®changes¡¯. This refers to the situation where Bernalt refused to surrender.
In that case, he will naturally be able to take a step forward and sit in a higher position.
As for Reinhardt
McKinley had no idea he could go any further and replace him.
Because Ye Chun¡¯s blame for Reinhardt was quite serious.
According to McKinley¡¯s vision, Reinhardt made such a huge contribution to Ye Chun this time. The position of supreme commander of the new fleet cannot be left.
But he didn¡¯t know that Ye Chun was actually quite unsure about whether Reinhardt could be recruited.
If Reinhardt and Bernalt both choose not to surrender, then McKinley will be promoted to the supreme commander of the new fleet.
certainly¡¡
It is under the leadership of Heinrich, Ye Chun¡¯s designated ¡®plane spokesperson¡¯.
By then, their goal will become to help Heinrich, the ¡®plane spokesperson¡¯, control the entire ¡®advanced plane¡¯ and establish a unified dynasty that has never appeared before.
At that time, there will no longer be 'ASEAN' and 'Western Treaty' in the entire universe of 'Advanced Plane', and all the member states of 'ASEAN' and 'Western Treaty' will be in the status of vassal states. Join this huge unified dynasty against any resistance. All that is ushered in is destruction.
¡°It is an honor for McKinley to have the opportunity to work with Excellent Reinhardt and Bernalt!¡±
Without any hesitation, McKinley accepted Ye Chun's invitation.
Although he was ranked third, McKinley was not dissatisfied at all.
McKinley knew his own weight. In terms of military capabilities, both Reinhardt and Bernalt were far superior.
Therefore, he was replaced by Reinhardt and Bernal?I have no complaints about being pressed down.
"very good!"
Seeing that McKinley accepted the invitation, Ye Chun praised him.
Immediately afterwards, he stretched out his palm and lightly patted McKinley's arm, with a sinister smile on his face.
"Then. My Excellency, Chief of Staff, let us go together to meet your colleague now!"
"I will do my best to cooperate with Mian Shang to put on a good show!"
With a sigh, McKinley had a wry smile on his face.
This assurance made McKinley suddenly think of Reinhardt, who had tricked him into this situation.
Speaking of which, isn¡¯t that guy also cooperating with the crown prince in front of him?
Maybe. He has also said the same thing as himself, and it is not necessarily true.
And now. He, McKinley, is about to follow the same path as Reinhardt.
This feeling really makes McKinley feel very sad.
But he had no other choice.
Comparing cruelty to life, he decisively could only choose the latter.
It¡¯s not McKinley¡¯s style to commit suicide or anything like that.
In other words, that is not the style of all ¡®advanced human race¡¯ soldiers.
This point is clear just by looking at the many generals behind McKinley who are still standing well.
Nodding with satisfaction, Ye Chun didn't say anything to McKinley. Instead, he turned his head to the side and turned to Lenk, who had been left alone for a while.
"Go and notify Yasha and ask her to get her people ready. I have given orders to Reinhard, and he will arrive with the third group in fifteen minutes!"
"Yes, leader!"
After receiving Ye Chun¡¯s order, Lunke went there excitedly.
He was not satisfied with the previous battle. He was warlike by nature, and now all he could think about was how to get that old boy Bernalt to drink again.
With the ¡®Purple Beard Weapon¡¯ given to him by Ye Chun. Lenk was addicted to smashing the battleship's protective shield.
And with his "strong man in the field" strength. As long as you are careful on the battlefield and don't get hit by the enemy's concentrated fire, there is no danger of falling.
"This guy!"
Looking at Lunke¡¯s excited departure, Ye Chun had a look of helplessness on his face.
Lenk has been with him the longest, and his strength has improved the fastest, but his personality seems to have not changed at all. He is still exactly the same as when he was the captain.
Sometimes, Ye Chun really envies Lenke's simplicity and his ability to remain unchanged.
Looking back at himself, he has changed so much in the past few years that he almost doesn¡¯t recognize himself anymore.
It feels like being the ¡®big brother¡¯ being ¡®missed¡¯ by various enemies along the way. It's not very nice.
Although Ye Chun's strength improved rapidly, his heart also grew tired quickly.
That feeling of walking on thin ice and being frightened every step of the way. Even when Ye Chun was sleeping with his lovely wives, he couldn't sleep well.
Ye Chun is often awakened by nightmares and breaks into a cold sweat.
The huge threat from the ¡®Shang King¡¯ left Ye Chun in a state of mental stress all the time behind the surface scenery.
This is like a corrupt official who has used the power in his hands to win everything for himself. Although he has unlimited glory on the surface, only he knows how unstable he sleeps every night.
This is why some high-ranking officials who were arrested said they could sleep peacefully when they were sent to prison.
Ye Chun is in such a state now.
While he kept fighting. All kinds of fears also arise.
My own, my family¡¯s, my friends¡¯, my subordinates¡
These fears combined together brought endless pressure to Ye Chun.
Ye Chun never considered himself a strong-willed person.
He is afraid of pain, afraid of death, afraid of something happening to his family, afraid of his subordinates dying in battle
Even, he is afraid of earthworms
It is said that every person is born with an animal that they are most afraid of.
And Ye Chun, what he fears most is earthworms.
certainly¡¡
No one knows this.
Otherwise. Ye Chun, a powerful man at the top of the law, might even be scared by his precious daughter and run away.
In short
Ye Chun is afraid of too many things, and the more he steps into a high-level realm, the more afraid he becomes.
But correspondingly, precisely because of the existence of this fear. It also inspired all Ye Chun's strength.
Some people say that fear of death is also a kind of strength.
This sentence is not false at all!
At least. For Ye Chun, fear is indeed the most powerful power he has obtained so far.
And this also destined Ye Chun to be unable to be as carefree as Lenk, with his back against a big tree.
Lenk¡¯s big tree is himself
The big tree of your family is yourself
The big tree of your friends is yourself
The big tree under my subordinates is myself
It seems that everyone¡¯s big tree is himself
But who is his own big tree?
No!
After turning around in a circle, Ye Chun suddenly discovered sadly that he had no big tree to rely on.
He only relies on himself.
At that moment, Ye Chun wanted to cry.
But what problem can tears solve?
So
Ye Chun held back his tears and walked strong all the way.
In the end, he even felt like he had unexpectedly defeated one enemy after another.
Up to now, Ye Chun has gained control over the four planes of ¡®weakness¡¯, ¡®death¡¯, ¡®element¡¯ and ¡®greed¡¯.
If you add in the "advanced planes" that are about to be obtained, Ye Chun actually controls five planes, completely eclipsing the "Shang" and "Min" clans.
Before, this was something Ye Chun would never dare to imagine.
But now, this kind of thing that Ye Chun couldn't imagine before has actually happened.
Ye Chun had never thought about being the emperor, the ancestor, and the supreme controller of Hongyu.
He was just forced by the ¡®Shang King¡¯ to resist all the way.
And the end of this road of resistance is to become the emperor, the ancestor, and the supreme controller of Hongyu, which he never thought about.
Only by standing in that position can Ye Chun be truly safe and no longer have any fear.
This path was destined from the very beginning, from the moment Ye Chun walked into the cave and ate Xiao Hei's brother.
Now that Ye Chun thinks about it, his time traveling through time was really fucking miserable!
Just imagine, if you are a college student who has just entered the society, but the moment you step into the school gate, you suddenly find that the supreme ruler of your universe wants to kill you, how will you feel, and will you still fantasize about the future? ?
Ye Chun has never imagined the future because he has no confidence that he can defeat the 'Shang King'.
¡° Above the ¡®God of War¡¯ is the ¡®realm¡¯, above the ¡®realm¡¯ is the ¡®law¡¯, above the ¡®law¡¯ is the ¡®origin¡¯, and above the ¡®origin¡¯¡
What is it?
Ye Chun actually didn¡¯t know.
But one thing that is certain is that the strength of ¡®Shang Wang¡¯ is definitely much higher than that of ¡®origin¡¯.
?According to the hierarchy between planes, this one is much higher than that, and it is likely that it has to cross two or three realms.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out out of the realm of does not understand the "origin", to challenge the "sorrow king" who has crossed two or three realms of the "origin".
If Ye Chun still has confidence, it can only be said that Ye Chun himself is not mentally normal.
Ye Chun¡¯s more thoughts are that it¡¯s only a day to be able to fight, and a year to be cheated
That¡¯s all!
But the current situation made Ye Chun clearly feel that there was not much time left for this confrontation.
Because he had almost reached the top level without realizing it.
After pacifying the ¡®advanced plane¡¯, the distance between Ye Chun and ¡®King Shang¡¯ was only separated by a ¡®cold plane¡¯.
This distance made Ye Chun suddenly feel a strong crisis approaching.
But can he stop?
¡°I¡¯m afraid even the little black kid in Ye Chun¡¯s chest knows this answer.
Since you can¡¯t stop, you can only grit your teeth and face it.
Everything Ye Chun is doing now is preparing for that time.
By gathering the full strength of the five planes of ¡®weakness¡¯, ¡®death¡¯, ¡®element¡¯, ¡®greed¡¯ and ¡®advanced¡¯, we should be able to barely resist the ¡®cold plane¡¯.
??If the next ¡®thug¡¯ sent by the ¡®Shang King¡¯ is from the ¡®cold plane¡¯.
¡°I really envy this guy Lenk!¡±
Looking at Lenk¡¯s back disappearing through the barn door, Ye Chun sighed, and for the first time, a bitter smile appeared on Ye Chun¡¯s face that surprised McKinley.?
"The crown prince in front of me can actually smile bitterly?"
McKinley could hardly believe his eyes.
But when he wanted to open his eyes to see clearly, he found that the bitter smile on Ye Chun's face had disappeared, replaced by an evil smile.
"My Lord Chief of Staff, are you ready? You know, you will have to hold on under Bernalt's hands for at least five minutes! Can you do it against 80,000 battleships versus 180,000?".
