Chapter 262 262. Lanlan's Strength

"Anyway, thank you for your hard work. There's no need to be so depressed."

“I’m ashamed.”

In the conference room, Zoe lowered her head, her face filled with deep fatigue.

"Lost the battle?" Lowe was slightly stunned.

"A lot of people died." Zoe couldn't say that she only brought back more than 700 people, but this was a problem that could not be avoided: "Only one-third of the people came back."

"This is too tragic." Lovey couldn't believe it. In his opinion, modern troops should be able to sweep away everything, so he quickly asked Zoe what was going on.

Zoe began to narrate the process of her leading the troops. In the early stage, she was indeed invincible. Facing opponents that were dozens of times her number, she fought her way out and completed the battle to recapture Morning Light City.

Of course, a heavy price was paid.

Of the 3,000 men who were under Liberty, only 1,700 were left.

I thought the battle was over here, but the thousand people who came later brought a batch of ammunition supplies.

Who would have thought that the outbreak of the Undead Scourge would deal the heaviest blow to the expeditionary force.

In the face of the vast, countless waves of undead, guns still crushed the enemy, but there was always a time when the ammunition ran out.

The army had no ammunition and only had bayonets. The situation took a turn for the worse and casualties began to occur rapidly.

The 2,700-man team suffered heavy casualties, which was like going through another battle to retake Morning Light City. Fortunately, Evelyn closed the door in time, giving them a chance to catch their breath.

"It's not your fault." Lowe said conscientiously.

Zoe raised her hand to wipe her eyes: "All the people were killed. I promised to bring them back."

Lowe approved Zoe's leave and began to arrange compensation.

At this time, the bad news has spread!

Everyone who heard the news couldn't believe it, and Zoe was pushed to the forefront of public opinion.

Out of a total of 2,000 elite troops, only more than 700 returned in the end. The commander undoubtedly has to bear most of the responsibility.

Although the returning soldiers repeatedly defended them, the people who lost their family members still could not accept it.

The so-called victory is just a joke, just a lie.

"Damn it! This is all the fault of the Undead Scourge. It has nothing to do with Lady Zoe. She has done her best." In the tavern, a returning veteran shouted angrily.

"Too many casualties!" sighed the Asian drunkard drunkenly.

"Yes! I'm afraid that less than half of you are still alive?" said the long-legged female adventurer.

"No one could do better in that situation." The female soldier raised her eyebrows.

"Maybe! You should just talk less." An elderly scholar adjusted his reading glasses.

Regardless, Zoe's reputation plummeted. With Fulinbao's best efforts to compensate, the veteran's family members gradually calmed down.

Everything is back on track.

However, the number of people who continue to choose to join the army has decreased significantly. Even some soldiers who were originally on the military have chosen to apply for retirement.

No matter how good the benefits of joining the army are, you have to be alive to get them. If the war casualties exceed two-thirds, anyone who goes is a fool.

Moreover, with the undead plague so severe now, dangerous battles are likely to become the norm.

Fulinbao did not retain any soldier who was about to leave. Those who had a lucky mentality and no combat awareness were not qualified to join the army.

The armed force, which once reached 5,000 people, gradually became less than 2,000.

The combat power may increase instead of decrease. The firepower of the new generation of machine guns is more than one level higher than that of the past. In addition, shotguns, sniper rifles and other branch varieties are also upgraded.

As long as there is enough ammunition, no matter how large the enemy's number is, they will not be able to break through the firepower network.

Lowe is confident.

Of course, more advanced weapons are more strictly controlled, especially sniper rifles and pistols, both of which pose too great a threat.

Even legendary warriors fell into the hands of sniper rifles.

"But it's just right. In such a dangerous world, we need the power of technological weapons to maintain balance." Lovey raised his hand and pulled the trigger.

The muzzle of the pistol flashed.

Pistols in this world pursue shooting power, so the barrels will be longer, the weight will be heavier, and the bullets will be larger.

There is no way. A pistol that is too small cannot threaten large wild animals.

Lan Lan was very interested in the rumbling machine gun and wanted Luo Wei to give her one. Of course, this was impossible, unless Lan Lan begged him, Luo Wei would consider it.

"The machine gun is too heavy and cumbersome to carry."

"I just like it?"

"Go play with your little pistol."

Lanlan puffed her cheeks angrily: "I feel like I have a pistol and can defeat the Limit Breaker."

"Don't underestimate those who break the limit. If they want to kill you within ten meters, it only takes one breath." Lovi hugged Lan Lan and stroked his tail.

"Stop it!" Lan Lan was annoyed. "I think within ten meters, I might not even need a breath to fire back."

"Can you hit it accurately?" Lowe didn't believe it.

In a flash, Lan Lan raised her hand and pulled the trigger. With a sound, a bullet hole appeared in the center of the target 20 meters away: "As long as the power is enough to break through the warrior's protective energy and hit the vital point, it can be fatal!"

"Lanlan, that's good. You can be considered to have the combat power of the third level." Lowe clapped his hands in pretend admiration.

Lan Lan wagged her tail proudly: "With such a convenient weapon, the gap between people has become smaller."

"I think you still need to practice seriously and try to break the limit once. Otherwise, you will be twenty years younger than Yun Qi, and I may not like you by then. Think about it, who would like a blue cat with its hair falling out?" Lovi said half-truthfully.

"I am practicing seriously." Lan Lan was silent for a moment, then changed the subject: "If you don't like me, then just don't like me. Let me retire early. I want to go back and be the village chief of Ice Wolf Village."

"You are too weak, and no one respects you." Lowe said sarcastically.

Lanlan's ears drooped down: "Yes, now it is different from the past. Many strong people have come to Ice Wolf Village, and my mother has lost her position as the number one warrior."

"Tina should be a limit breaker. Is there anyone stronger than her?" Lovey was very curious.

"The Ice Wolf Saint who came from the Northern Continent has joined our Ice Wolf Village." Lan Lan secretly looked at Luo Wei's expression: "It should be no problem, right? We are willing to accept anyone here."

"That's true." Luo Wei paused and whetted his appetite: "But such a strong man should have obtained my consent to appear in the Free Territory, or at least come to visit me."

"Is that so? That's what my mother meant when she wrote to ask about it."

Lanlan took out a letter from her bag and handed it to Luo Wei.

Luo Wei took a quick look and said, "In fact, there is a saying that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. If a strong person from the Holy Land sincerely joins us, like An Ke, we will definitely welcome him. My opinion of that strong person is that I want her to promise me to support the safety of nearby towns."

"I'll write a letter to convey your opinion." Lan Lan put the letter back.
