“Sir, do… do we really have to continue?”
In the temporary tent, Mirren sat on the ground and looked at Wesker in shock…
Wesker looked at him and sighed in his heart when he saw his expression… …
Looking at his anxious expression, Wesker knew that this guy was almost crippled. Perhaps his legs could still be healed if he met a brilliant mage… However, his courage that belonged to a knight was completely gone. Wesker could foresee that this guy would not have any thoughts of going out to explore when he returned. Perhaps he would choose to give up the knight sword in his hand forever…
In fact, Wesker was right. That was what Mirren was thinking in his heart. He only wanted to escape back to Gondolin as soon as possible. When he returned, he would apply to become an internal affairs officer. What Knight’s honor, what courage… All of that was Bullsh * T. He swore that he did not want to see that asura-like scene from yesterday again…
There were many other people who were in the same mood as Mirren. Wesker walked out of the tent and looked at the soldiers who were packing up their supplies. It was very obvious that this team had completely lost their vitality after the attack yesterday…
The situation was more serious than he had imagined…
Due to Pu Yunchuan’s heroic performance in killing that terrifying monster, the loss of the team this time was actually not as great as he had imagined. According to the statistics from the quartermaster this morning, there were only about 100 soldiers who had died in battle, although there were more than 1,000 injured soldiers, most of them were fine. According to the statistics from the quartermaster, there were only about 100 to 200 soldiers like Millen who had lost an arm or a leg, or black bear who was almost half paralyzed. In other words, more than 80% of the entire team still maintained their combat strength…
But the morale was too low…
At this moment, when he looked over, the soldiers in the entire military camp were like walking corpses. Their expressions were numb, and they looked completely different from the group of people who were full of vigor when they left for the battle… …
Wesker’s brows were tightly knitted. The morale was so low. Forcefully continuing the mission was extremely risky, but was this mission going to be abandoned just like that?
How was he going to report back? They hadn’t even entered the black stone forest when they were scared s.h.i.tless by the monster that rushed out of it and went home?
To be honest, he really didn’t have the face to go back and say such a result in front of Isabelle…
Just as he was sighing, there was suddenly a commotion in the crowd. The originally numb-faced soldiers suddenly began to discuss among themselves. Wesker looked up curiously when he saw this. Then, he saw the dirty-looking Pu Yunchuan trotting over from afar…
Most of the people in the army had seen Pu Yunchuan’s heroic performance yesterday. Those who did not see it had obviously heard from their comrades about what kind of heroic deed Pu Yunchuan had done yesterday…
Even though Pu Yunchuan looked like he was in a sorry state, no one dared to look down on him. They all stood up straight and saluted…
“Hey, that… Old Wei, when do we set off?”Pu Yunchuan greeted Wesker from afar.
Old Wei…
Wesker’s face twitched. He felt that the way he addressed him was weird. Miren, who was in the tent, was about to scold Pu Yunchuan out of reflex when he suddenly reacted and choked back.
He had also heard about Pu Yunchuan’s unbelievable performance yesterday. He had single-handedly killed such a terrifying monster. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that it should not be something that greasy fatty could do. However, after so many people saw it yesterday… He had no choice but to believe it…
The other party had a very high prestige in the team. If he were to provoke him now, he would be inviting trouble… … Everything would have to wait until he returned to Gondolin…
“I heard from Jack that there is a small river in that black stone forest. Let’s hurry up and set off. That thing yesterday was too disgusting. The strange smell from my body has made me unable to sleep for the entire night. Let’s set off early and find that river to wash up…”
Wesker:”…”
The expressions of the many soldiers froze when they heard that. When Mirren heard that the other party actually wanted to continue walking in, his face instantly turned pale with fright. He hurriedly said, “Who said that we still have to set off? Under the current situation, of course, we should retreat first and make a long-term plan…”
“What the F * ck…”. Pu Yunchuan was instantly amused. “How long have we been out for?” “? We’ve brought a few months’worth of supplies and the best equipment in the city. During the expedition, you walked at the front with your head held high like a F * cking rooster. In the end, we’ve only been out for a day, and we can’t even walk into the forest. Now You’re telling me that we should retreat and have a long-term plan?” “? Are you kidding me?”
“You…”Mirren’s face was flushed red by the other party’s words, but he couldn’t say anything tough for a long time. After all, the other party was right and powerful, so he couldn’t be tough even if he wanted to… …
Wesker looked at Pu Yunchuan. The other party had said what he wanted to say the most, but although Milun was weak, he represented the hearts of most of the soldiers. And although Pu Yunchuan was right, he might not necessarily be supported…
Sure enough, most of the soldiers chose to remain silent, and the scene instantly became abnormally quiet…
Pu Yunchuan also sensed the atmosphere. He turned around to look at the soldiers, and at a glance, all of the soldiers lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at him, pu Yunchuan was stunned for a moment and said, “You guys… Don’t tell me all of you want to go back in such a shameful manner?”
Everyone immediately lowered their heads even more. When Milun saw this, he immediately sneered in his heart. He did not know how to comply with People’s wishes. So what if they were strong? They were still not popular…
“Sir…”under Pu Yunchuan’s questioning, one of the soldiers finally mustered up his courage and said, “It’s so dangerous. Is there really a need for us to continue?”
Pu Yunchuan stared fixedly at the other party. “If you’re afraid of danger, what kind of soldier are you?”
“Aren’t our lives as soldiers our lives?”The soldier retorted excitedly.
The moment these words were said, the surrounding soldiers also raised their heads to look at Pu Yunchuan. Wesker frowned. If this continued, it was likely that something would happen. Just as he was about to open his mouth to stop Pu Yunchuan, he spoke first…
“Are you cherishing your lives now? “In the city, knowing that you are going out to take risks, the citizens rushed to make quilts and military rations for you day and night. I’ve seen dozens of families that tore off their cotton clothes to make quilts for you. They were so cold that they jumped up, but because their cotton clothes could be commandeered by you, they were so excited that their faces were flushed, as if they had received a lot of affirmation. When you left the city, you all acted like dogs, wearing the armor that your teammates put together for you. You looked awe-inspiring. How many girls secretly gave you sweaters? “How many children have thrown flowers at you? “If you didn’t know that you were trying your best to give them hope, why do you think you have the right to enjoy such a status?”
Everyone:”…”
“You chose the path of eating with your heads held high. Are You Afraid of something now? “Do you want to go back?”Pu Yunchuan said gloomily, “Go back for what? “Tell those kids who idolize you that you’re scared s.h.i.tless, and you came back before you even stepped into the woods? “If I knew you guys were such softies, I would have saved you yesterday…”. “…”
Everyone looked at each other when they heard that, and for a moment, they looked even more guilty… “…”.
“But…”the soldier blushed and stuttered, “But… the things in the woods are too strange. Sir, you’re very powerful, but can you save us three or four times at once?”
“As long as you have some face and dare to follow me… I Promise You!”Pu Yunchuan looked at the crowd and said solemnly, “No matter how many times, I will risk my life to save you! !”
The soldiers were stunned when they heard that. Their numb expressions clearly showed a hint of blood.
Pu Yunchuan continued, “I can understand if you are afraid, but no matter how strange and terrifying those things are, can you hide forever? “Right now, these things are everywhere outside. If you don’t look for them, they will come looking for you one day. If you can hide back in Gondolin now, where will you hide when they come to Gondolin one day? “Will you hide behind those women and children who worship you?”
Everyone was stunned. The confusion in their eyes slowly dissipated. Yes… “…”. If these things get into Gondolin one day, where will they go?
“I don’t have the face to go back… . Pu Yunchuan patted the sticky flesh on his body and said, “If any of you want to go back, go back yourself. I still say, if you have any shame, go with me. As long as I don’t die, I will protect you!”
