Chapter 25: Kongming's decision
Looking at the monsters that were constantly drowning the dead monsters, and then rushing towards the expeditionary force again, Che Yan did not have a trace of fluctuation in his heart. This is the difference between man and beast, in battle, for people, as long as the discipline is still there, then even if there are thousands of deaths in front of them, they will move forward without fear, even if there are countless money beauties in front of them, they will not hesitate to swing their swords and split, and then move forward. However, animals can't do it, and neither can monsters, and now it seems that the intelligence of monsters has become a problem, and they can't resist this kind of temptation. In this way, the expeditionary force has nothing to worry about, after all, they have been fighting against this kind of opponent for more than ten years, and they have a terrible amount of experience.
"Division commander, now we are only half of the intact troops that can fight, less than 50,000 people, most of the others have withdrawn from the battlefield due to injuries, and some have stayed here forever!" Peng Haizhuang sighed, he didn't expect the power of the monsters to be so strong, and the number was so large, even if the entire division was stuck in the exit of the small world and occupied a favorable terrain, the combat power was still declining sharply, and the number of casualties was also increasing sharply. And now the enemy in front of them still seems to be endless, and some of their forces can no longer support it.
"It doesn't matter, the Fifth Division has already arrived, I have colluded with them, and they will take over our line of defense right away. Che Yan's words were a little muffled, after all, losing more than half of them meant that their division would not be able to maintain its heyday for a long time, so there would be no way to participate in the next battle. After all, the cultivation of the expeditionary force is different from other cultivation methods, they can only increase their potential by absorbing those real or imaginary substances through continuous battles, and then make breakthroughs. This is also a major reason why the expeditionary force has been fighting, and it is also the reason why the expeditionary force can break through to the Venerable or even the god level in just over ten years. In order to achieve the goal of becoming a blockbuster, or in order to have more advantages in the ranks above the gods. After all, both the god and the venerable level are laying the foundation, making it easier for the future god route. If you miss it, you won't have it.
"Hehe, that's it, Li De of the Fifth Division is here. Peng Haizhuang pointed to the past, and Che Yan looked at the past. I only saw that the commander of the Fifth Division, Li De, flew directly over with his chief of staff Liu Ping and ten regiment commanders. And even further behind is that their team is constantly assembling and sorting out the formation.
"Ma, Lao Li, you came too timely!" Che Yan didn't have any joy because of Li De's arrival, he was completely distressed when he saw that people were going to eat their own meat.
"Come on, old car, it's not me talking about you, be kind. Don't be so petty, your division has suffered such heavy losses. It's time to fix it up, and we'll take care of the rest. Haha! It's been boring for more than half a year, and I can finally let go. Haha!" Li De laughed and said, seeing such a big battle was like seeing a delicious food, which was really nostalgic.
Che Yan is most unaccustomed to the pride of this product, the two have been competing since they were in college, and later came to the same unit, whether it is on the battlefield or at the wine table, they have to fight to the death.
"Well, I'll leave it to you here, let's withdraw, hemp, anyway, let's drink the head soup, just drink a drink of foot-washing water." After finishing speaking, he hurriedly teleported directly to the exit of the small world, and did not give Li De a chance to fight back at all.
"You grandson, what are you doing running so fast!" Li De yelled, he really had nothing to do about this immoral guy who slipped away after scolding, and now there was something urgent, otherwise if it was in normal times, he would have to catch up and scold back.
"Ma, I've never seen a person like this, and what about the division commander? Ma, it's not as good as a soldier. What do you see? Your division commander has escaped, and you are the only one who will hand you over. Damn, Old Peng, how can you stand this guy?" Li De said while scolding.
"Master Che is a good person!" Peng Haizhuang said with a smile.
The next thing is relatively simple, only Peng Haizhuang and Li De can carry out the battlefield handover, because of the new force of the Fifth Division, the battlefield suddenly advanced to the side of the monster for a few hundred meters, so that the personnel of the Fourth Division have enough space and time to safely evacuate the battlefield. And the fifth division went straight to the top.
The battle has been going on, unconsciously, three days have passed, in these three days, all the people of the army, navy and air force of the expeditionary force have gone in to fight once, even the direct team of the expeditionary force has gone in to fight once, and the members of the command have all gone in to fight once except for Kong Ming, this is Kong Ming's requirement, everyone in the expeditionary force, except for him, must fight once in the front line, this is Kong Ming's order, and it is also a tradition that the expeditionary force has unconsciously formed in the past ten years, in the final analysis, it is to let the potential of the people in the command be truly developed, not only to become the weakest link in the expeditionary force。
In the past three days, the people of the Zhongzhou Continent are still watching non-stop, and the people who were originally scheduled to come to support and reconnoiter from the four major sects have not come, and the other scattered cultivators have gradually calmed down after the blood of the initial stage has passed, and they are no longer the blood that supported the expeditionary force at the beginning, but all the sects in the Zhongzhou Continent are constantly watching the battle between the expeditionary force and the demon world, the battle between gods and demons, both of which are outsiders to them, no matter who wins or loses, it is always their Zhongzhou Continent people who benefit, so they are not so stupid, to participate in it, to consume their own strength!
There is even an argument that the monsters do not exist in the first place, if the expeditionary force does not come, then they will never appear, the Zhongzhou continent is still a peaceful continent, a fairyland-like place, but the arrival of the expeditionary force summoned the monsters, so the expeditionary force is the real culprit of this demon attack, and is responsible for this attack of the demon world. And the commander of the expeditionary force wants to give Zhongzhou Continent an explanation for the invasion of the Demon Realm this time, it is best to commit suicide, so as to save all the monks of Zhongzhou Continent from being judged. Some began to shout that the Zhongzhou Continent was the continent of the Zhongzhou Continent. The expeditionary force rolled out of the Zhongzhou mainland. Countless gossip filled all the places in the entire Zhongzhou Continent, and those who spoke for the expeditionary force may have, but they were quickly overshadowed by the voices of those who opposed the expeditionary force.
In the headquarters of the expeditionary force, everyone is now watching the battle in the small world.
"Commander, it can't go on like this, our sacrifices are too great, from the beginning of the fight to the present. In the past three days, nearly 100,000 soldiers have died, including hundreds of god-level powerhouses. The wounded were close to five million, accounting for about one-third of the strength of our expeditionary force, while the enemy was no less. If this continues, we will only have fewer and fewer troops. Li Feizhi said on the side. He was in no mood to sit now. He had just returned from the front line, and he had personally killed a few Venerable-level monsters in front, and there was a smell of blood all over his body, in fact, in the entire expeditionary force headquarters, except for the army on Kong Ming's body, which was not stained with any blood, the rest of the people all had more or less bloodstains, but some were enemies, and some were themselves.
"That's right. Behind the enemy is the Demon Realm, no matter how much support the opponent has. Their Venerable-level monsters alone are not comparable to me, and in the past few days, if it weren't for the shrinking defense, our soldiers would have died even more. Zhuge Yibu sighed, in fact, as an actual soldier, a literati in his bones, he hoped that several other major sects and those scattered cultivators would participate in and share the pressure of the expeditionary force, so that they could directly form de facto allies, so that the expeditionary force could no longer get the swordsmanship and formations they needed through war. However, now it seems that they are too wishful thinking, those four major sects have ruled the Zhongzhou Continent for a long time, and they are now more concerned about their status than the survival of the Zhongzhou Continent. In fact, the practice of the four major sects in the Zhongzhou Continent is to push a person like Zhuge Yibu who prefers peace in another direction, as for the other generals of the expeditionary force, except for a few, the others are all militants, and they still want to find trouble if they have nothing to do, not to mention that if there is something now, they still want it to be a big deal.
"If you give up, then those monsters will definitely leave the small world directly, kill on a large scale, and still hurt the civilians of the Zhongzhou Continent, how can people be embarrassed?" Tang Mingye said, he is the founding emperor of the Huayuan Empire, and he is also the suzerain of Mingzong, and he is also a member of the Zhongzhou Continent, and he has a deep affection for this place, so he hopes that the expeditionary force will be at the front and strive for the support of the four major sects and other sects. In this way, the expeditionary force gained a foothold in Zhongzhou, and the establishment of Mingzong was only an instantaneous matter.
"That's right, if we give up now, then in just a few days, these thousands of miles of mountains and rivers will become like a demon world, making it difficult for people to survive. That's a big deal!" Yun Pingtai sighed.
"Commander, there are many rumors circulating in Zhongzhou University about our expeditionary force fighting monsters this time. Seeing that the two did not agree to evacuate, Sima Wei spoke.
"Oh, what did you say?" Kong Ming can't decide whether to fight or retreat for a while, as for most of the other generals below, most of them are already inclined to retreat, after all, they are from Huatian Continent, and they don't have too much emotion for Zhongzhou Continent, they are more of a pleasure of conquest and a kind of joy after completing a thing for Zhongzhou Continent, not to mention them, even Kong Ming has the same idea, but no matter what, these monsters are released by the expeditionary force, and they always need to give Zhongzhou an explanation, otherwise, some things are really unreasonable。 After all, a good continent, as soon as they came, such a thing broke out directly, no matter what they said, they couldn't get out of the relationship, it was because of such concerns that Kong Ming was constantly thinking about what to do next? Retreat, centered on the small world, there are too many civilians within a radius of thousands of miles, they are innocent, the expeditionary force retreats quickly, they must be feeding the demons, so Kong Ming's heart is not very comfortable.
"They said that those monsters didn't exist originally, if the expeditionary force didn't come, then they would never appear, but the arrival of the expeditionary force summoned the monsters, so the expeditionary force is the real culprit of this demon attack, and they are responsible for this attack of the demon world, and the commander of the expeditionary force wants to give Zhongzhou Continent a statement for this invasion of the demon world, it is best to commit suicide, so as to save all the monks of Zhongzhou Continent to judge. Some of them also shouted that the Zhongzhou Continent was the mainland of the Zhongzhou Mainland, and the expeditionary force would get out of the Zhongzhou Continent. In short, there are countless gossips that fill all the places in the entire Zhongzhou Continent, and in the final analysis, it is to let us get out of ......" Sima Wei said directly, this lecture was directly spoken for more than 30 minutes, and every sentence has a source, many of which have a certificate, and in order to cooperate with Sima Wei's words, there are also those realistic scenes in a magic screen, which is really conclusive, digging into the heart, listening to the other generals are even more angry, I can't wait to be there now, directly kill these bastards, the soldiers of the expeditionary force are bleeding in front, but these bastards are talking cool words, so that they are embarrassed, if they let go, how to explain to the soldiersNot to mention that there are pictures and truths, even if it is a rumor, it will make people annoyed when they hear it.
As for Tang Mingye, Yun Pingtai and Li Muxue, their faces were already pale, not frightened, but angry.
"Have you put all of this together, and cut out all the other words of praise for our expeditionary force?" Kong Mingduo asked, it was so obvious that even a child could perceive it. It's just that it's okay that Kong Ming didn't ask like this, and after asking, Sima Wei's answer made him even more annoyed.
"It's not that I cut it down, but that all the people who say good things about us there have been directly suppressed by those people!" Sima Wei sighed.
"Hemp, those are still not people, they are not even as good as animals!" Long Tianxian scolded directly.
"To say that they are animals is an insult to animals!" Zhang Yiming said angrily, as a literati and an official, he has always appeared as a gentleman, and it is rare to see such a gaffe and such words.
……
For a while, in the entire command center, countless annoyed words directly rang out into the sky, shaking the entire command headquarters to the core, if they didn't know that there was a meeting inside, those guards would have rushed in directly.
After hearing this, Tang Mingye and the other three of Mingzong were even more desperate, originally Kong Ming had the idea of giving up this action after seeing that the small world was connected to the demon world, but there was no suitable excuse yet, and now the excuse came, or those sects in Zhongzhou were released, so that Kong Ming had a grandiose excuse to leave, in fact, it was not an excuse at all, but a reason.
Kong Ming was not affected by these emotions, he was the commander, and he needed to think about something. He asked Tang Xiang, who was not far away, "Is there any sword fighting from the capture of the Demon Domain?"
After hearing Kong Ming's words, everyone stopped for a while, looking at Kong Ming, and they didn't know what this guy was singing?
"What has been preliminarily cleared out is that there are more than 23,000 secret books of various sword arts, of which there are forty books that can be cultivated to the level of gods and above. As for the other kinds of secrets, there are countless of them, and they haven't had time to clean them up for a while. Tang Xiang replied.
"Well, since our goal has been achieved, then it's time for us to leave, as for the establishment of Mingzong, Sect Master, I think it won't be long before we can return here, and the establishment of Mingzong is only a few years away, I can't be in a hurry, I think you might as well use this time to train some backbones and personnel, otherwise the territory will be bigger in the future, and it won't be like a word if there are fewer people." Kong Ming said lightly. (To be continued......)
