Chapter 287: Stability
Everyone present was shocked in their hearts, they all thought that the Dark Pope would definitely not let go of these people who fled back from the battlefield, but they didn't have the Taoist Pope to give such a tragic order, and everyone couldn't help but bow their heads again.
"Slow ......down," the President of the Penal Code, who was sitting next to the Dark Pope, raised his hand suddenly.
The eyes of the two soldiers kneeling on the ground fell to the president of the penal department for a moment, waiting for the president of the penal department to give the order.
Everyone also slowly raised their heads and looked at the president of the criminal law, they all knew that the president of the criminal law was known for his uprightness, although these soldiers fled back from the battlefield, everyone knew the situation on the battlefield, if they didn't escape, they would die on the battlefield, although they were guilty, but they would not die.
The Dark Pope's eyebrows furrowed.
"Give a hundred rods to those soldiers who have fled as an example. The criminal law president said.
The Dark Pope looked up suddenly, his eyes looking at the President of the Penal with anger in them.
There was a hint of hesitation on the faces of the two soldiers, who should they listen to, the Dark Pope on one side, and the President of the Criminal Law on the other, neither of them could afford to offend.
The President of the Criminal Law also looked at the Dark Pope motionlessly, but there was an indifferent expression on his face.
The two were at a stalemate for a while, and everyone's eyes were watching their actions, and the two soldiers wanted to get a unified answer.
"Hey......" the Dark Pope sighed.
"Go ahead, do as the president of the penal department says. The Dark Pope's face was filled with sorrow.
"Yes, Pope Bixia. The two soldiers clenched their fists slightly at the Dark Pope and retreated from the main hall.
"If there's nothing to do, you all step down. The Dark Pope waved his hand.
"Yes, Bixia. The people in the hall bowed deeply to the Dark Pope before exiting the hall.
Only the Dark Pope and the President of the Penal Code were left in the huge hall, and the Dark Pope gently held his forehead. With a bitter face, this defeat hit him hard.
The chairman of the criminal law also frowned tightly, and now he only had helplessness in his heart.
"Pope, don't blame me, now that our Dark Temple is in the midst of employing people, we can't kill innocents indiscriminately. There was a hint of apology on the face of the president of the penal department.
The Dark Pope nodded heavily, he also understood what the President of the Criminal Law said, the Dark Pope was very unwilling to defeat this time.
"Brother, how about the two of us join forces to wipe out the Western Regions?" the Dark Pope looked up suddenly. There was a cold glint in his eyes.
Hearing the Dark Pope's words, the President of the Criminal Law was slightly stunned, it could be said that he was frightened by the Dark Pope's thoughts.
"Pope, are you crazy? You must know that there are also two powerhouses of the God of War Realm in the Western Regions, and their strength may not be weaker than ours, or even stronger than us, if the two of us die there, what will happen to the Dark Temple?" said the head of the Criminal Law seriously.
The Dark Pope lowered his head in disdain, there are indeed two powerhouses of the God of War Realm in the Western Regions. It was in a strong mood of reluctance that he said such things.
......
The Western Regions won the battle, and there should be joy in the camp, but the whole promise was lifeless. Everyone's hearts are unusually heavy, but the heaviness in the hearts of those generals seems to be even stronger.
The leader of the Southern Legion of the Western Regions, who almost put his life into it to save them, is now seriously wounded. It was not clear whether they woke up or not, but in addition to the heaviness, there was more of a sense of guilt, and they didn't know what to say when facing the patriarch of the Raldine family.
The powerhouses of the God of War Realm in the Ralding family had all died in the last battle of the Dragon God Sea. In the family, there is only one strong person left, Bella, and now Bella is in this state again.
Zhou Yi has been taking care of Bella in Bella's big tent, looking forward to Bella's waking up, looking at Bella's old body, he is just capable and anxious.
He also knows some information from the outside world, and now that the Dark Temple has not sent troops to the Western Regions, it can be said that there are no hidden dangers in the southern part of the Western Regions.
In the northern part of the Western Regions, although the last battle between the Tragic Legion commanded by Servi and the Light Divine Order of the Temple of Light at the same time did not achieve a huge victory, it was to resist the opponent outside the gateway of the Western Regions, and the number of soldiers lost on both sides was almost small, about 5,000, although it did not inflict a major blow on the other side, but the two sides showed a stalemate.
The legions in the northern part of the Western Regions also successfully contained the soldiers of the Bright God Regiment, and it was impossible for them to go to the Eastern Regions to support, and the pressure on the Eastern Regions was relieved, and Zhou Yi's goal was achieved, and at the same time caused a huge blow to the two major temples.
......
Among the large camps in the southern part of the Western Regions.
Everyone sat in the main tent with a bitter face, and now that Bella was seriously injured, the matter had to be decided by the leaders of these big and small shilis.
"Now that the Dark Sanctuary has all withdrawn to their base camp, the war in our Western Regions is not so urgent, and everyone has been away from the family for a while, if you want to go back, you can go back, but I have an idea, I hope to get everyone's consent. Zhou Yi said.
Although Zhou Yi is not very old and is not deeply involved in the world, everyone has seen Zhou Yi's excellence, and everyone knows very well in their hearts that if it were not for the commander of Mount Tai, it would be very difficult for them to resist each other in these battles with the Dark Temple, let alone return with a big victory.
For Zhou Yi's words and his decision, everyone is still very convinced.
"Let's talk about it......" Swan stood up and said to Zhou Yi with a big grin, he trusted Zhou Yi very much, and admired Zhou Yi's talent in all aspects, and even formed an illusion that Zhou Yi made a decision that was more correct than Bella.
Everyone nodded.
A relieved smile appeared on Zhou Yi's face, his efforts during this time were not wasted, and now he has been recognized by everyone, which means that he has won everyone's trust.
There are large and small shili in the Western Regions, there are eight families in the Western Regions, and there are Taishan like him, and no one here regards him as a robber who does all kinds of evil, and he really sees him as the leader of Shili, and has the same right to speak with them.
"I feel that it is okay for Brother Swan and the patriarch of the Ralding family to stay here, Brother Swan is the president of this battle, and it is the duty of him to stay here, and the patriarch of the Raldine family is staying here to observe the situation of Bella's predecessors, and now there are still 8,000 warriors left in our camp, although the other party has been repulsed, but our losses are also very heavy, and there are still 12,000 lives on the battlefield. Speaking of this, Zhou Yi's voice was full of intense grief, from the bottom of his heart, he didn't like war, but if he didn't resist, he would be invaded by others.
"These 8,000 soldiers we need to leave 4,000 to identify and guard the camp in case the Dark Temple attacks us again, so all the leaders present can only bring back half of their own shili, and I don't want to hide it from everyone, these soldiers will stay here for a few years, what do you think? Zhou Yi looked around at the crowd.
Everyone didn't even say a word of rebuttal, they just nodded heavily, they knew very well in their hearts that Bella could even give up her own life, what could she do if she sacrificed these hundreds of soldiers? Through the battle with the Dark Temple, the cohesion of the people of the Western Regions has also become stronger.
A hint of relief flashed on Zhou Yi's face, this was the first time since he came to the Western Regions that he had reached such a decisive agreement.
"Good...... We decided that if nothing happened, we would all go home. Zhou Yi said with a smile.
Just as everyone was about to walk out of the big tent, the kamikaze cave master slowly stood up.
"Brother Swan, if the Dark Temple is invading our Western Regions, we will definitely come to our aid, because our Western Regions are a big family. The Kamikaze Cave Master clenched his fist slightly towards Swan, and there was a strong sincerity in his voice.
Everyone's eyes were also attracted in an instant.
Swan slowly walked up to the kamikaze cave master, and then patted the kamikaze cave master on the shoulder.
“haha...... Well, protecting the safety of the Western Regions is everyone's business in the Western Regions. Swann Haha smiled.
Everyone nodded heavily.
Then everyone thought that the patriarch of the Swan and Raldine families clenched their fists slightly, and all withdrew from the big tent.
Only Swan, the patriarch of the Ralding family, and Zhou Yi were left in the big tent.
"Two big brothers, I was a little reckless just now, please don't care, Bella senior is injured, and we must leave a few warriors in the camp in the Western Regions just in case. Zhou Yi also bowed slightly to the two of them and apologized, after all, Zhou Yi had not discussed with the two before saying that he wanted to leave the two behind.
Both Swan and Raldin shook their heads indifferently.
"We all know your thoughts, the two of us stay as you said, it is our duty to continue, I will continue to train the army, the patriarch of the Ralding family will also observe the situation of Lord Bella, we don't blame you, besides, this is the gateway to the Western Regions, we need to guard this place." Swan smiled, he didn't blame Zhou Yi, and he felt that Zhou Yi's arrangement was very correct.
"Hey...... It doesn't matter if I stay here, I just hope that Mistress Bella gets better soon. The patriarch of the Raldine family sighed, a hint of decline appeared in his eyes, could it be that the only remaining powerhouse in the family was also going ......to fall?
