Chapter 310: Mi Ziwen’s Shock, How Was This Camp Built? (1)
“You’re saying that the entire Great Liang army was wiped out, leaving only the few of you?”
Zhou Shu was sitting on his horse with Yang Hong following closely beside him. Han Dazhi and the others also followed behind him on foot.
After hearing what Han Dazhi said, Zhou Shu frowned. “General Han, let me ask you. How many people did Great Liang send this time?”
He had already expected the situation on the battlefield of the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament to be bad, but he didn’t expect it to be this bad.
One of the ten nations had actually been completely wiped out!
!!
“There were eighty thousand people from Great Liang this time,” Han Dazhi said with a pained expression.
These 80,000 people were all elites of the Great Liang army.
Great Liang was the weakest among the ten nations. This time, all the elites had died in battle. Who knew what would happen to Great Liang in the future?
“Eighty thousand people?” Zhou Shu frowned. This wasn’t a small number. Even if they all stood there for him to kill, it would probably take a while.
How long had it been since the arrival of the Demon Realm army? They had actually completely wiped out the 80,000 soldiers of Great Liang?
“Your Highness, there’s a peerless expert in the Demon Realm army. Our first-rank martial artists were killed by him in a few moves.
“The Great Liang army didn’t have any first-rank martial artists to hold the line, yet the Demon Realm army had several first-rank martial artists. It was simply a ma.s.sacre!”
Han Dazhi was a burly man, but when speaking of this, he was covered in snot and tears.
“Your Highness, please avenge our army!”
Han Dazhi fell to his knees and kowtowed.
“As long as Your Highness can avenge the army of Great Liang, my life will be yours. Moreover, everyone in Great Liang will treat Your Highness as our benefactor. We will set up a shrine for Your Highness—”
“General Han!” Zhou Shu hurriedly interrupted him. Only shameless eunuchs would do such a thing.
“Even if you don’t say it, we will fight the Demon Realm army to the death.
“Stay with our Great Xia for the time being. Sooner or later, I will make those demonic beasts from the Demon Realm pay the price.”
“Thank you, Your Highness!” Han Dazhi and the dozen or so surviving Great Liang soldiers kowtowed with tears on their faces.
They were not exaggerating.
There had been 80,000 Great Liang soldiers. Their parents, wives, children, and friends were scattered everywhere in Great Liang.
If someone avenged them, they would be the benefactor of all the people of Great Liang.
Although Great Liang was weak, they were not ungrateful people!
“Second Brother!” Mi Ziwen had been listening at the side. He had heard everything that Han Dazhi said.
Han Dazhi didn’t know, but Mi Ziwen knew that Zhou Shu had paid a huge price to kill those first-rank demonic beasts.
He didn’t even have the strength to walk at the end.
If the Demon Realm expert Han Dazhi mentioned was really that strong, how could Zhou Shu be his match?
“Don’t worry, Big Brother. I know what to do,” Zhou Shu said.
“Big Brother, how are your injuries?”
“I’m fine. I’ll recover after some rest,” Mi Ziwen said.
“Unfortunately, only the first pill I gave you previously is effective. It’s useless to take more. Otherwise…” Zhou Shu sighed.
“Second Brother.” Mi Ziwen smiled bitterly. “Even if that wasn’t the case, I wouldn’t dare ask for that pill of yours again. It’s really too precious.”
Zhou Shu couldn’t help laughing. A person who would give him thousands of taels of silver as pocket money for no reason was telling him that it was too precious?
Why did such words sound so funny coming from Mi Ziwen?
“It’s not as serious as you make it sound, Big Brother.” Zhou Shu smiled.
“Stop, Second Brother. Don’t mention this again. Otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t be able to control my greed.” Mi Ziwen shook his head.
He changed the subject. “By the way, Second Brother, there was originally a batch of forging materials in my army, but we lost a lot in the previous battle. Take a look and see if there’s anything useful when we return to the camp.”
If they were outside, Mi Ziwen would have already thought of a way to repay Zhou Shu. But this was the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament battlefield, so it wasn’t appropriate to give him money. As for the anything else, Mi Ziwen didn’t have any…
“Alright.” Zhou Shu didn’t say anything else and simply went along with Mi Ziwen. “Big Brother, how many people do you have with you?”
Outside the Huaxia Pavilion’s Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament branch, there were still 10,000 Demon Realm troops stationed. If nothing went wrong, they would soon have reinforcements.
If they wanted to hold the camp, they couldn’t do it with few people.
A pained expression flashed across Mi Ziwen’s face.
In the previous battle, his soldiers had suffered heavy casualties. This was the most severe loss he had suffered since he led the army to war.
This wasn’t because he was at a disadvantage but because the enemy was too powerful.
Their military strength was several times greater than his, and there were five first-rank martial artists.
For Mi Ziwen to last until Zhou Shu came to help was already something to be proud of.
But no matter what, casualties were casualties. No matter how many excuses he made, his dead brothers wouldn’t come back to life.
“There are fewer than a thousand men who can fight,” Mi Ziwen said in a low voice.
Even with the old, weak, and injured, there were only a thousand people left.
When he heard that the entire Great Liang army had been wiped out, his heart stirred. If Great Liang had been wiped out, how much better could he be?
