Jiang Chu didn't rush to ask Lin Han, even though he was also anxious to know the truth.

He hugged Lin Han and gently patted her back as if comforting his own sister.

Lin Han leaned on his shoulder and cried her heart out.

Fortunately, the villa has excellent soundproofing, so people outside can't hear it.

...

A few minutes later, Lin Han finally managed to calm down.

Although Jiang Chu could not see Lin Han's overall combat strength, he could sense that Lin Han's intelligence had dropped by more than 1,800 points and was still dropping!

She broke down.

However, Jiang Chu was not very worried.

Lin Han will recover, and he will recover very quickly.

Jiang Chu held Lin Han's hand tightly and said softly, "Sister, don't rush, tell me one sentence at a time, I can handle it."

"OK."

Lin Han nodded with difficulty and said, "The entire Northwest Province has been liberated. We have captured Damo City, but there have been casualties. The entire Thunder Legion has lost one-third of its troops..."

The cook and Xiao Lan are dead, Lao Zhou is seriously injured, and Xiao Luo is alright, only slightly injured.

Jiang Chu felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if his heart was being torn apart.

Chef Wang and Sister Lan are Jiang Chu's good friends. They taught Jiang Chu a lot of things, and Jiang Chu fought alongside them when he met Lin Han in the Tianzhou subway.

But they sacrificed themselves...

They were Lin Han's precious darlings, all of them his students.

Jiang Chu didn't know how he managed to control his emotions.

He didn't even dare to think about the happy times he spent with the two senior students...

I'll never see them again...

Jiang Chu was panting heavily, and his intelligence was declining at a visible rate.

Jiang Chu took out a bottle of high-grade mental recovery potion and gulped it down.

"Xiao Chu, how about we eat? Is that alright? You haven't eaten for three days and three nights." Lin Han looked at Jiang Chu and said with concern.

"Who else..." Jiang Chu asked.

"And...and..." Lin Han finally managed to say, "Don't tell Wei Lin."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chu's mind went blank.

"Lieutenant General Chen Tao sacrificed his life in the battle in the northwest corner of Damo City." Lin Han's voice choked up again.

"Have they blocked the news?" That was Jiang Chu's first thought.

"It's blocked. Brother Qin Feng took into account that Wei Lin was unlocking it, so... it's blocked," Lin Han said. "We hid her military watch so she can't see the messages."

"Okay." Jiang Chu nodded. "Sis, is there anything else? Just say it all at once."

Lin Han's eyes were once again covered with tears: "Xiao Chu, the Red, Red Soil Legion... in, in Tianfu Province, the entire army was wiped out, and the Legion Commander, General Liu Xu, was killed in action!"

Jiang Chu's worst fears have come true.

He wasn't just offering hindsight.

He had a premonition that the bio-engineering camp had set up a very deep trap this time.

Just like the Xia Kingdom releasing birds into cages, they also make choices.

The Northwest Provinces were not firmly established to begin with. Although they resisted desperately, they ultimately had to yield to the overall strategy.

Therefore, the Northwest Province was taken over by the Thunder Legion.

Jiang Chu's lips trembled as he asked, "How is the Sanbei Province?"

"We've recovered most of it, the northern regions have all been recovered, and the border areas with Kore and Soko are still intact..." Lin Han said.

"Red soil...red soil..." Jiang Chu murmured, "No bad news, right?"

Lin Han nodded: "No, everyone else is fine."

Jiang Chu held back her tears.

But my heart is already broken.

He had never met any of the high-ranking officers of the Clay Army, nor did he have any connections with any of the soldiers in the Clay Army.

In fact, Jiang Chu and Liu Xu didn't even know each other.

But Jiang Chu shed tears of blood for Liu Xu and for the soldiers of the Red Earth Legion.

They sacrificed themselves for the greater good; without their blood, the new situation in the Three Northern Provinces and the Northwest Provinces would not have been possible.

Jiang Chu even wondered how the wise and brave commander of the Red Earth Legion could not have foreseen such a situation.

However, he sacrificed himself for the cause and, together with the Red Earth Army, was laid to rest in the Sichuan Province.

It seems that the Xia Kingdom won this battle, but in reality, did they really win?

Lin Han calmed down a bit and told Jiang Chu the whole story.

The Clay Legion, one of the five legions, no longer exists.

The Frost, Gale, Flame, and Thunder Legions all suffered greatly in this battle.

The Flame Legion suffered more than half its losses, its organization was crippled, and one of its deputy commanders was killed, resulting in the loss of nearly half of its soldiers.

If it weren't for General Yu Zhiliang's calm command, the Frost Legion would likely have been wiped out.

Jiang Chu was slightly better than Lin Han; her tears came and went quickly.

Suppressing his grief, he said, "Let's go downstairs and eat together. It's no fun for me to eat alone."

"Okay, we'll have something to eat with you," Lin Han said. "I haven't had lunch either."

"Sis, let's have a drink!" Jiang Chu said.

But after saying that, Jiang Chu shook his head and said, "I won't drink anymore. I'll eat quickly and then go take care of Weilin."

"Xiao Chu, if you go to take care of her, will she notice anything?" Lin Han asked.

"Okay, let's go downstairs first. I'll ask Xiao Nan and Xiao Bei about Wei Lin's situation," Jiang Chu said. "By the way, do they know about it?"

"I don't know yet," Lin Han said.

"Understood." Jiang Chu nodded.
