Chapter 145: A Glorious Return

Saying the most insincere words and doing the most duplicitous things, Captain Cao finally brought Jessica back to the other side of the Red Blood Great Plains. Wouldn't Captain Cao want to take Jessica with him and go on the craziest elopement? Of course he wanted to! In the eyes of many people, it seemed that they had already died in the mouth of the beast, and even if they didn't show up again, maybe no one would think anything was wrong. But what should we do about those troubled brothers and sisters of the plundering regiment? No matter how carefree Regiment Commander Cao is, he can't ignore them. If the raiding group didn't have him as the leading brother, I don't know how many people would beat their minds, and it would be impossible for Captain Cao to let them run around in this world like headless flies, so he was actually not so chic.

When Commander Cao and Jessica arrived at the camp of the Bimunan Expeditionary Army one after the other, they instantly caused a sensation! More than a month had passed since that catastrophic beast tide erupted, and in fact, the beast tide lasted beyond everyone's imagination, lasting nearly half a month. Those demonic beasts that didn't know where they came out of nowhere wreaked havoc on the Red Blood Great Plains for more than ten days, fortunately, this strange Red Blood Great Plains seemed to have some unknown power to restrain those demonic beasts, they did not rush out of the Red Blood Great Plains to chase and kill the remnants of the Beamon Army, but just wandered around in the Red Blood Great Plains, until there was nothing new here, and the beast tide slowly dispersed. Under the obstruction of the beast tide, the southern barbarian alliance army did not find a chance to pursue the remnants of the Bimeng army, leaving the southern expeditionary army a room to breathe.

After the disaster of the beast tide, Heinrich gathered the remnants of the army and made a large inventory of all the survivors. In this battle alone, more than 40,000 of his compatriots were lost, and even the previous battle losses were lost, and the army of the Southern Expedition was reduced by as much as half! This is a figure that broke Heinrich's heart. Not only was Heinrich unwilling to withdraw his troops, but other combat sequences also expressed their stance that this revenge would not be avenged, and he would not withdraw until he broke through the southern barbarian coalition army!

After such a painful defeat, the entire Beamon Empire was in a gloomy fog. His Majesty Pedro and Stern also made it clear that they would spare no effort to support the southern expedition to complete the humiliation. Just like the judgment of Commander Cao, the essence of the Southern Expedition was to open another door for the empire, and it was a war of plunder. As a result, not only did he not get any benefits, but he sacrificed so many elite Beamon warriors, which can no longer be described as a tragedy. The combat sequences that can participate in the Southern Expedition are at least well-known in various regions of the empire, and the lives of every soldier are very precious, and they have suffered such a big loss. Who can swallow it?

However, the defeat of the Southern Expedition was also a cause for some people to be happy and some to be sad, and it was completely conceivable that there was a serious division of power within the Beamon Empire. No one knows how much time, energy and money the respected Crown Stern spent on the next big list of the Southern Expedition, and finally let Heinrich sit firmly in the position of the leader of the Southern Expeditionary Army. The current Rhine tribe has reached a peak level with Stern's growing influence in the temple, and if the southern expedition led by Heinrich can achieve a brilliant victory, then it means that the entire Rhine tribe will regain its glory!

Although he lost to the Tiger in the battle for imperial power, Stern, as a representative of the contemporary Rhine, never gave up the idea of re-squeezing into the battle. He has been working on it as well. At the beginning of the southern crusade, everything went according to Stern's wishes. Seeing the good news of the flight to Sri Lanka, Stern lived a proud life, and even found many excuses to feast at the sacred temple of Auburn Hill to celebrate the strong rise of the Rhine. But before Stern could be happy, the outbreak of the beast tide knocked him back into the circle. When the news reached Stern's ears, His Majesty was said to be presiding over a fasting event. As soon as he heard the news, Stern flipped the table!

No one knows what His Majesty Pedro thinks about this, and on many occasions, His Majesty Pedro is very calm. At such a juncture, he did not watch the fire from the other side. There was no schadenfreude either. Pedro's ability to sit firmly on the throne of the emperor is that he knows the general situation and knows what the common good is. The defeat of the southern expedition put a stop to Stern's soaring illusions, and this was enough for His Majesty Pedro. His Majesty Pedro convened six cabinet meetings in two days, and almost never even met his eyelids, just to continue the southern expedition and find another suitable way out.

The final result was also quite unexpected, and after a few cabinet meetings, His Majesty Pedro's decision was also released. Leonardo was elected as the commander-in-chief of Heinrich's southern expedition, and led his army to replace Heinrich on the same day. The news was transmitted to Stern through the Archduke Heinsohn, and His Majesty also had a gloomy face for several days.

The truth is so cruel and ridiculous, Leonardo has made it clear before that he is unwilling to lead this southern expedition, otherwise, this opportunity will definitely not fall on Heinrich's head, even if Stern wants to operate, there is no room for operation. As the captain of the Lionheart Legion, Heinrich is indeed very good, but in all aspects, he and Leonardo have a clear gap, Stern once regarded this as a godsend, and more than once in front of the people of his own faction, he sighed that people like Leonardo will also make mistakes, and they will not be able to see the overall situation clearly. As a result, the cruel truth slapped Stern's face hard, and after a circle, the honor of commander-in-chief of the Southern Expeditionary Army finally returned to Leonardo's hands.

Changing commanders on the spot has always been a taboo for soldiers, but after this defeat, Stern is about to break his head just by trying to clean up the mess, where is there still the heart to oppose it? The southern expedition is still the southern expedition, but the relative halving of the troops and low morale are just such a prerequisite is not necessarily a good thing for Leonardo.

No one can say what His Majesty Pedro thinks about this, His Majesty Pedro, who presided over the cabinet meeting, participated more as an observer, and in the end, Leonardo's election as the successor to the commander-in-chief of the Southern Expeditionary Army was not proposed by His Majesty Pedro, but decided by the elites of the empire. It was a group of gamblers who had already lost the red eye, and if the southern expedition could not make substantial progress, it would be a huge loss for them. This time. Where would they still wonder if Leonardo was in the same boat as them, even if it was a pig beast, as long as he could win the Southern Expedition, he would be their father!

Before the tide ended, Leonardo had reached the front line and taken over Heinrich's command. All Leonardo has done so far is to stabilize the morale of the army, and every day he visits the countless wounded barracks. Leonardo has already been exhausted. During the period when he took over as the commander-in-chief of the Southern Expedition, Leonardo only did these things, and did not set foot in the Red Blood Plain again, facing off against the southern barbarian coalition forces from afar.

In addition to the 5,000 soldiers of the Firefox Legion, only Redick and Ariza escaped from Leonardo's personal smoke and silver eighteen horsemen. Jessica, the pearl he cared about the most, didn't hear from him, and Leonardo almost experienced the darkest period of his life. Even the blind can feel how gloomy Leonardo has been recently, and after coming to the front for so long, no one has seen him stretch his brows.

So far. Leonardo also didn't want to come to fight this southern expedition, and he didn't come here to satisfy the wishes of those imperial magnates, but just to find a slim chance to regain the pearl in his palm. No blow hurts Leonardo more than that, and Leonardo is even willing to sacrifice everything he has in exchange for it.

Attacking now is not a good thing for the Southern Expeditionary Army, the other side is just at the time when morale is high, and the Southern Expeditionary Army has no way to get out of that shadow for a while. Even stepping into the Great Plains of Red Blood again. All of them made the Beamon soldiers of the Southern Expeditionary Army depressed, and many people complained in private. It means that this battle cannot be fought.

When Captain Cao and Jessica returned, some people even thought they had seen the undead. Now that the names of Regiment Commander Cao and the plundering regiment are mentioned within the Southern Expeditionary Army, no one does not give a thumbs up and say that they are awesome, and the brothers of the plundering regiment are all good. If it weren't for the fact that Commander Cao and the soldiers of the raiding regiment appeared in the beast tide to turn the tide, it would definitely be more than this loss than the Mengnan Expeditionary Army, and it was even possible that the general headquarters of the Southern Expeditionary Army headed by Heinrich would have been killed by others. To put it bluntly. There are many people here who owe Captain Cao's life.

And after the war, Heinrich also told everyone a heavy news, this hero who turned the tide at the last moment in order to cover the retreat of more friendly troops and risked alone, without hesitation, single-handedly re-entered the beast tide, and there has been no news so far. This also cast a shadow on the hearts of the officers and men of the Southern Expeditionary Army. Even now, you can still dislike Commander Cao and the raiding group, but you can't deny the huge role they played in the southern expedition anyway, among so many battle sequences, the only victorious general is Commander Cao, he has not lost a single battle, even when the beast tide broke out, he was as a planner to relieve all his comrades. In addition to eating, the miracle battles of winning more with less are enough to highlight his difference, and many people think that he is a battle monster and an alternative battlefield master.

Now that hero has reappeared after losing contact for more than a month, it has naturally made the camp of the Southern Expeditionary Army into a frenzy, what can be called a miracle more than this? Not only did he not come back without missing arms and legs, but he even rescued Beamon's sweetheart Jessica smoothly, which is definitely the most successful hero saving the United States in this century. Not only was he besieged by the beast tide, but he also had to face the encirclement and interception of the southern barbarian coalition army, who dared to say that he could survive? The complete return was the greatest miracle, and in the eyes of these soldiers of the Southern Expeditionary Army who witnessed this moment, Commander Cao also became a miracle child.

Facing the soldiers of the Southern Expeditionary Army who came to greet one after another, Commander Cao was also a little speechless for a while. The frenzied crowd surrounded Captain Cao and Jessica in the middle and cheered wildly, this was the first time that Captain Cao ignited the masses without saying half a word, and these fanatical crowds also squeezed the two of them into a single inch, and countless questions floated over like raindrops, completely ignoring whether Captain Cao and the two could stand it or not. Except for the clothes on their bodies, the two of them looked pretty good, which would inevitably lead to other people's speculation. Especially the big knife with the door panel that Commander Cao carried on his shoulder, which had completed the arc, just looking at the current appearance of this murder weapon already made people curious about their experience. Leonardo tried countless ways but failed to arouse the morale of the soldiers of the Southern Expedition, and Commander Cao received such an effect just by appearing, and I don't know what Leonardo would think in his heart when he saw it. Commander Cao also lost some hyena warriors in the Southern Expedition, but he won more reputation for himself, and now it seems to have become a living myth in the hearts of the soldiers of the Southern Expedition!

It wasn't until many commanders of the Southern Expeditionary Army and Commander Cao's own plundering regiment rushed to hear the sound that the scene was a little quieter, Luo Han and Gail didn't care about so many people's eyes at all, and the two girls crashed directly into Commander Cao's arms, and touched Commander Cao's body for a while, as if they were worried about whether Commander Cao was missing any parts. In the end, amid the screams of countless people, the two little girls fought with red faces.

In the face of countless care and inquiries, Head Cao just wanted to talk about his wandering journey, and then sang a "Wandering Song" with emotion, ending this topic of traveling with the United States straightforwardly, so as not to make waves in the sea of vinegar and make a good life for himself. I still remember that Scarlett had a big fight with herself before leaving, until now, Captain Cao has not seen Scarlett's figure, and he always feels that something is missing.

And Jessica didn't know when she stood beside Captain Cao in this noisy scene, under the gaze of so many refreshing eyes, this famous flower of the empire naturally held Captain Cao's arm, leaning on him like a bird. It wasn't until the chaotic scene quieted down under the scolding of those chiefs that she realized this, and she also turned to the side with a red face. But this can only give people a feeling of being a thief...... (To be continued.) )
