"No, Yueqi has no reason to lie to us. This should be true. Mo Xuan shook his head, and then looked at Shui She and smiled: "Sister Shui, do you still know the purpose of our coming to the fortress?"

"Yes. Ladies and gentlemen, this time we have come to the fortress to follow the orders of the old elders. And it's not just us, there are also a group of soul kings and martial arts powerhouses who are closer to the fortress also came. Among them were a few of the seventy-two shadow guards and a few more dead. ”

Shui She glanced at everyone and continued: "We also found out that things were extraordinary, and later inquired and learned that Tianyou was on the front line. We're just 100,000 in a hurry. ”

When everyone heard this, they were suddenly surprised, otherwise, how could strong people like Mo Xuan and Shui She come here?

You must know that this front line is just a base of the empire, and it is impossible for the empire to send two soul kings to sit in the town for such a base area.

"So I suspect that the old Ryu seniors have also discovered some unusual actions in the Beast Domain. Coupled with what Yueqi said before, the answer is obvious. Mo Xuan smiled and glanced at everyone. Finally, he stopped his gaze on Heller: "The Beast Domain is going to launch a large-scale war! And it is a huge scale, otherwise how could Elder Ryu send so many Soul Kings and Martial Venerable-level powerhouses here?"

When Heller heard this, cold sweat broke out behind his back. It is necessary to mobilize so many king-level powerhouses to defend the fortress, and the scale of this war can be imagined. If that time comes, the tens of thousands of soldiers who are still here will probably be wiped out.

"Of course, that's just our guess. In his letter, Ryū did not say that the Beast Domain was going to start a war. As Heller said, we can't take Yueqi's one-sided words and withdraw our troops. Mo Xuan said again.

Shui She pondered for a moment and said, "Otherwise, it's only a hundred miles away from here to the fortress." Since Yue Qi said that the Beast Domain would launch a large-scale war against humans in a month, then half a month later, Heller, you will be stationed on the plain with a large army for dozens of miles. ”

"This time, we will prepare for both hands, if the Beast Domain starts a war, we will send a signal to you. You retreat directly to the Serpent Fortress with your army. At that time, my wife and I will fly out of here with Tianyou and a few people. With the strength of my husband and wife, as long as I don't encounter the Soul Emperor and the Martial Saint-level powerhouse, it is relatively easy to escape. If the Beast Domain doesn't attack, you'll be back with a bunch of soldiers. If there is any dissatisfaction on the side of the fortress, we will bear it as husband and wife. What do you think, Commander Heller?"

According to Mo Xuan and Shui She, absolute safety can be guaranteed and no punishment will be imposed for returning to the fortress without permission. What else would Hellena have to say? Naturally, he nodded his head in agreement.

Mo Xuan also saw the abacus in Heller's heart, and immediately nodded with a smile and said to everyone: "Okay, it's decided." Heller, you go and get ready. You can bring half of the grain and grass, most of the soldiers are ordinary people after all, if you bring too much food, grass, and army materials, it is likely to be caught up by the demon beast army. With that, he left the camp with Shui She.

And Tianyou and the others also said goodbye to Heller one by one and walked out. As soon as they left the camp, everyone was deeply touched by the scene in front of them. At this time, all the soldiers lowered their heads, and some even had tears in their eyes.

But their waists were still straight, and some of the soldiers were holding a token and weeping silently. Those tokens are either Soldier Tokens of the Ace Battalion, or Tokens of Ordinary Soldiers.

The names of the soldiers who died in the battle are inscribed on it.

In the face of war, it is impossible to recover the remains of dead soldiers, and every soldier, whether an ordinary human soldier or an ace soldier, will have a token.

In the aftermath of the war, most soldiers would take the initiative to bring back the tokens of the dead soldiers as relics, and the corpses could only be disposed of in the wilderness.

This is war, war is cruel, the dead can only go away, and the living have to fight to continue to live.

They didn't have much time to mourn their dead robes, nor did they have time to retrieve their bodies. The dead will not come back to life because of tears, and the living will still live to live. This is war!

"What's going on over there?" Zheng Long frowned slightly and looked into the distance. Everyone also turned their eyes to the direction that Zheng Long was pointing.

I saw that at this time, dozens of people were densely surrounded there. These people are either the Water Soul Sect, or the Martial Commander and their contract partners.

"What's going on?" Immediately, Liuli rushed towards that side with an arrow step. Tianyou and Zheng Long glanced at each other, and hurriedly followed.

"Sister Liuli, you can persuade Ye Qi. Yingyue hurriedly greeted her when she saw someone coming, and there were tears and a trace of anxiety in her eyes.

"What the hell is going on?" Ruri frowned slightly, a little dissatisfied. Because at this time, Ye Qi, from the right shoulder down, the entire arm is gone. However, none of the Water Soul Sects and Dulong Ju present treated their injuries.

"That's right, our people want to treat Ye Qi, but Ye Qi doesn't want to say anything. Yingyue hurriedly explained, and the soldiers around her also looked at Liuli very anxiously.

"What's the matter with Ye Qi?" said Liuli as she looked at Ye Qi, who was pale from excessive blood loss.

"Battalion commander, I'm ending my service. Ye Qi knelt down on both knees at the same time and begged: "Battalion commander, Kaili is not like me. He also has an 80-year-old mother and a teenage child. He died trying to save me, and I had to take care of my elderly mother and children in his place. Please battalion commander, please fulfill me. As he spoke, tears slipped down Ye Qi's eyes.

It suddenly dawned on Liuli that the empire has a rule that either you are physically disabled or you have to serve for three years before you can retire. This Ye Qi is to take care of Kaili's family, so he would rather be disabled than receive treatment.

"Ye Qi, I'll send it out to the top. Trust me, I'm going to retire you. It's a big deal, I'll ask Uncle Mo to come forward, you can accept treatment with peace of mind now. Thinking of this, Liuli hurriedly helped Ye Qi up and said.

"No, battalion commander. I don't want this arm, I can't fight side by side with my brothers and I take the initiative to ask for retirement, I can't do favoritism for me. And it was because of my carelessness that Kaili died. I don't want this arm, please ask the battalion commander to fulfill me. Otherwise, I will never get up. ”

Ye Qi shook his head again and again, saying that he was unwilling to let others treat him.

Liuli and Ye Qi have known each other for many years, and they know that they are not retreating because they are greedy for life and afraid of death. It's because we have to take responsibility for Kaili to do this.

Immediately, he had to nod to him and said, "Okay, I promise you." Don't put your arms away, but at least let the brothers help you heal your injuries. ”

Ye Qi was overjoyed when he heard this, and the medium spirit weapon armor that was originally contained in his body was released again, and he hurriedly handed the armor to Liuli.

Liuli was going to persuade Ye Qi to leave the armor, but when he saw his resolute gaze, he also sighed secretly, and directly put the medium spirit weapon armor into his storage ring.

"Liuli, I'll go find Uncle Mo. Tianyou's eyes were slightly moist, although he had not been with the brothers for a long time, he really regarded these soldiers as robes and brothers.

looked at Ye Qi's helplessness and remorse, and looked at the sadness in the eyes of the brothers. Tianyou once again found himself incompetent, if he had the strength of two masters, if he could appear in time to rescue, then Kaili would not die, and these brothers would not die Nearly half of the number is ......

He is still too weak, and he needs to be stronger. A glimmer of longing for power burned in Tianyou's heart again. Although there was only a hint of it, it was so intense, even stronger than the helplessness in the face of Yueqi.

If he wants to protect the people he cares about, and if he wants to stop the war between the beast domain and the humans, then he needs to have the strength of his two masters, or even surpass their strength, and now he is still too far away from that realm......
