Chapter 165: Fifteen thousand remnants
Shen Mengting seemed to have a feeling of crying, although the actual situation did not bring tears out of her eyes, but she still made the action of wiping her face.
"Ahh......h
"In short, it has come to this situation, and the responsibility is on me. But as you said before, now is not the time to emphasize who is responsible. Since I am still in the position of marshal, I must fulfill my duties as marshal. So, I'll definitely pull myself together. ”
Shen Mengting's words made most of the generals nod, and Qian Hao nodded the most.
After Shen Mengting looked around at everyone, she decided to visit the surviving brothers first. After all, she was still full of guilt in her heart.
"Alright then! Let me, the generalissimo, visit the wounded first! This is what I should do. Shen Mengting's hand was gradually stretched out, and she was about to take the first step out of the door.
However, just as she was about to go out, she seemed to notice something wrong. After constantly looking around, her eyes widened, "Hmm, what's the matter, why didn't you see General Zhao Yu?"
Qian Hao and Shen Jun immediately showed puzzled looks, and they couldn't help but look at each other. From their expressions, it could be seen that they didn't know where Zhao Yu was at the moment.
"Ah, you said Zhao Yu!" Qian Hao blinked in shock, "Yes, where is he?"
"I didn't see him before. But now ......" Shen Jun also looked like he didn't know why, his mouth was half open, and then he looked at Jiang Jingwen.
No one will pay attention to Zhao Yu's movements, if there is anyone present who will care about this magician, it is probably only Shen Mengting and Jiang Jingwen.
"Huh, where is he?" Jiang Jingwen was also puzzled, "He was indeed there before, but ......"
Jiang Jingwen remembered that the last time she saw Zhao Yu was before her father came. However, because of what happened afterward, she couldn't pay attention to Zhao Yu anymore.
"Where is he?"
Seeing too many people looking puzzled, Shen Mengting seemed to be a little angry, "Where did you kid go?" Now in this situation, his eyebrows are about to burn, and I almost wandered around in the ghost gate, why did he not know where to run." Could it be that he is now at ease? Why doesn't he have the appearance of a general, and he has inherited Uncle Yang Jiening's magic staff?"
Shen Mengting's words silenced the room, and most people still look at you and I look at you, and they didn't say too much.
"Hmph! It seems that it was a mistake to let him be a general! This kid must have no sense of responsibility, and he only knows how to evade anything. He was absolutely not up to the position of Commander of the Magi. Shen Mengting's ridicule came out.
Seeing this, Qian Hao launched a timely persuasion, "Alas, don't talk like this yet, maybe he is busy with something!"
"What can he do? Tell me about it. ”
Qian Haodun was a little dumbfounded, so he had to stagger, "Ah...... Ah...... He's ...... Oops......"
"I think he's either shivering somewhere, or he's running somewhere to play because he thinks it doesn't matter. Shen Mengting spoke directly.
"Oh! Sister Mengting, don't talk like that! Maybe Zhao Yu is really busy! I remember that when you were injured, he was still more worried. It is also possible that he can't accept the reality and can only run away and cry alone. Jiang Jingwen was still trying to persuade her.
But all the current persuasion is almost useless to Shen Mengting.
"It's good that you don't say it, but I'm even more angry when you say it. Doesn't he know what we're facing? But there's no time for him to play with a child's escape from crying. He didn't forget who he was. If he really can't accept it, I advise him to leave the barracks!" Shen Mengting directly crossed her waist with both hands, and it seemed that she was already extremely angry.
"Sister Mengting......"
"Don't excuse him. I know very well what he is. I shouldn't have looked at him pitifully in the first place to get him out of Vortex Town. It's a good thing that our generals are in a state of shame now. I regret it, I regret it!"
"Ah! Marshal Shen! Although that kid is really useless, he shouldn't say that about him! At least he didn't subjectively want to do anything bad, he was a little weaker. Not to mention ......"
Shen Jun wanted to tell the story of 'Zhao Yu' going crazy and beating Zhang Zhijie and the others before, but he thought that there were too many people present here to avoid the situation of too many people, so he still stopped the idea of telling the secret in time.
But Shen Mengting was obviously crazy, she had almost vented all the anger she was facing on Zhao Yu.
"Come on, he's a self-proclaimed 'mommy' piece of shit. After so many days of bringing him out, what has he learned? I think I should give up on him. Shen Mengting stomped directly on the ground.
In desperation, Qian Hao and Shen Jun could only shrug their shoulders and look at each other.
Deputy Marshal Ma Liming still stood up at the right time at this moment, and he felt that he needed to persuade a few words, "Okay, Marshal Shen, don't laugh at that kid anymore." Now in this situation, the important thing is to think about how we can regain our strength and fight against the Sauron army that may attack next!"
Shen Mengting glanced at Ma Liming with a meaningful gaze, and then nodded, "I understand what the deputy marshal means." Stop paying attention to that shit, I'd better go watch the wounded!"
With a heavy step forward, Shen Mengting turned her head and asked about the location of the wounded. Knowing that they were arranged on the playground, Shen Mengting officially walked over there.
Deputy Marshal Ma Liming and the other generals naturally followed.
Together, they walked out of the council hall and towards the place where the wounded were housed.
It's just that Shen Mengting's current mood is a little complicated, and it can even be said to be very heavy. She didn't know what to do with the enemy's army.
After walking for more than ten minutes, Shen Mengting and her party came to the playground. However, when she first stepped to the destination, not only Shen Mengting, but all the other generals were shocked by the gloom in front of them.
The current wounded are so miserable that they are all placed in improvised tents as if they are waiting to die.
Shen Mengting tried to walk towards a few tents, and all she saw and heard was a man-made wail. It seems that the brothers are really seriously injured, and even if they survive, they must be mentally abnormal.
'Oh, I'm sorry, it's all my responsibility. It was my mistakes that caused you to suffer all these wounds. I'm sorry!'
While wandering around the many tents, Shen Mengting's heart was apologizing to the soldiers.
A few of the soldiers should have been able to see their marshal coming, but most of them did not show any joy. It can be said that they are now numb, and there is not even a trace of emotional change in their eyes.
Shen Mengting would consciously or unconsciously glance at those soldiers, but it seemed that all she noticed was anger and complaint.
In desperation, Shen Mengting still quickened her pace until she completely circled the playground. After they basically looked at the general situation of the wounded, Shen Mengting stood in place and looked at the sky.
"Alas, what kind of sin do you say I have created!" Shen Mengting seemed to sigh something, and her tears seemed to have a tendency to fall. But when it was too late, after a breeze blew, she immediately avoided the attention of others by hiding her face.
After walking a few steps away, Shen Mengting slowly stopped.
"Ah, Generalissimo, are you still blaming yourself?" said Deputy Marshal Ma Liming, trying to comfort him.
But Shen Mengting seemed to know what her subordinates were going to say to her, so she quickly turned around and shook her head at everyone, "Don't try to comfort me anymore, I understand that all the responsibility lies with me." But I also know that there is no point in saying this now. What is in front of me is to give the remnants of the army as a whole to meet the next challenges. ”
Since Shen Mengting said so, the generals were relieved.
"But what I saw just now, how many of those soldiers will have combat effectiveness again?" Considering asking herself, Shen Mengting's appearance was a little frustrated.
"Marshal Shen, all the soldiers here are left. We still need two more troops that have been sent out and have not been severely damaged!" General Wang Bin said to Shen Mengting with a comforting tone.
"Yes, I get that. But even if we had those two forces, it wouldn't necessarily make the situation much better. No, I could even say that even if we had the strength of our troops that could go to war, there would only be 15,000 men! This is not the same as the current army of 70,000 in Sauron...... That's a difference of ......."
Shen Mengting didn't dare to speak out about the next words, because she was afraid that she would hurt everyone's morale if she said it.
"Then Marshal Shen Mengting, what should we do now?"
Faced with the inquiries of her subordinates, Shen Mengting couldn't say a word or two. In the past few days since the battlefield, the situation has never been more dangerous than it is now.
She really couldn't imagine that she could rely on the 15,000 remnants of the army here to face Sauron's army of 70,000.
"Ahh In fact, it was the Black Dragon Legion of that country that came in the first place, and we were able to temporarily resolve the crisis. Otherwise, I guess we've all been killed by Lian Yun by now. Shen Jun was making some proposals, but his voice was very quiet.
"No! Every time the Black Dragon Legion finishes fighting, it will never be able to go to the battlefield again without a break for ten and a half days. Besides, I expect those black dragons to fly from the Fuxing Continent like a tiring journey, so the rest time is estimated to be extended. Deputy Marshal Ma Liming explained.
"So...... Are there any other Principality of Aria troops, like that country will send new reinforcements?"
"This ......" Ma Liming thought for a while, but finally shook his head helplessly, "I don't think it's likely." The officialdom of the Principality of Elia is a testament to its slow action, and I estimate that it will be a few months before they actually send troops. And that group of Black Dragon Legions, presumably should have been privately transferred by their Grand Commander and Cabinet. Because the Black Dragon Legion is under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Grand Commander and the Minister of Military Affairs of their Eria Nation. That's why they came here to fight the Saurons without the approval of Congress. ”
After listening to Ma Liming's long list of explanations, Shen Jun was discouraged.
The situation could really be described as bad, and now it was as if they had been pushed to the gallows, as if they were waiting for the Saurons behind them to push them.
A large amount of disappointment seemed to be a little out of control, spreading around the generals of Saran, and most of them bowed their heads and remained silent, as if they were extremely preoccupied.
"Actually, no matter if Aria will give me any more help, we can't just think about it. I have said many times that we must rely on ourselves to resist the aggressor. Only when we have our own ability can we get the attention of other powerful countries. Shen Mengting said coldly.
This makes the generals even more uneasy, because they really don't have any good cards to resist the Sauron Empire right now.
felt that even if she stayed here any longer, it would be useless, so Shen Mengting still beckoned everyone to go back first.
"Alright, you better go back and rest first, and come back in the evening to discuss how to organize the next action. ”
Now that Marshal Shen Mengting has spoken, the generals are indeed ready to go back to their respective tents to rest, and it is said that they have been busy enough in the past few days.
"What about you!Sister Mengting?"
Seeing that Jiang Jingwen was asking, Shen Mengting also turned her body towards the girl, "I want to stay here alone, and I don't want others to disturb me." ”
The generals immediately showed a look of incomprehension, and looked at Shen Mengting, who was still standing in the cold wind after recovering from a serious injury. But Shen Mengting's words are also very clear, that is, let her stomach calm for a while.
