Chapter 712 They are all seeking death!

Jiang Lianzhu went into the house to treat Liao Jiu. Liao Jiu looked seriously injured and covered in blood, but in fact his internal injuries were not serious. After all, he had been promoted once, and when he was promoted, his body was fully recovered and his whole body was in the best condition.

I was injured again later, but it wasn't very serious.

Even if he is not treated, he can recover on his own, it just takes time.

What they lack now is time.

I can only use various medicinal herbs on Liao Jiu.

***

Moon City.

After receiving Jiang Lianzhu's information, General Jiang observed for a while and found no unusual ambush under the city gate.

He ordered the city gates to be opened.

First, a group of elite teams were sent to investigate the situation.

There was no ambush.

Then, a large force was sent out of the city to clean up the bodies.

There are piles of corpses outside the city, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. We can't stay there for too long, or they will rot and stink, stinking the whole city.

If these corpses are not cleaned up for a long time, they will easily breed bacteria and cause infectious diseases. If the enemy attacks the city again, these corpses will become their human walls and ladders, which will be detrimental to Yuecheng.

Also, finish off the enemies who are still alive, and look for anything valuable on the dead ones to loot the spoils of war.

Digging a mass grave, cleaning up the bodies, and burying them all were all arduous tasks.

Fortunately, the lights on the city wall are bright.

The Regent said that these lights are energy-intensive. Over time, the more energy they consume, the more likely they are to not light up.

He also knows that he should be frugal and spend money sparingly.

But, not tonight.

Under this urgent war situation.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

While he ordered his men to quickly dispose of the bodies, he also kept a close watch to see if the enemy would attack again.

If there is another surprise attack, it will be dangerous tonight.

An hour later.

General Jiang ran back and forth twice, between the courtyard where the left and right regents were being treated for their injuries, and on top of the city wall.

A subordinate reported, "General, we've cleared half of the enemy corpses. We've dug a mass grave and buried over 20,000 people, and there's still half left to clear! We haven't seen many Aquarius soldiers, mostly corpses from the other four nations. There's no sign of an attack from the enemy camp yet. We have spies lurking over there and heard sounds of quarreling inside the camp..."

General Jiang laughed heartily, "Alright, hurry up and clean it up, then renovate any traps that can be renovated. Let them quarrel, let them quarrel, all they want!"

It would be strange if there was no noise.

My tense heart gradually relaxed.

Unless something unexpected happens, it will be impossible to attack again tonight.

It would be best if the alliance collapsed and they went their separate ways.

hey-hey.

Outside the city, the enemy camp, the big tent.

There was a heated argument going on inside.

"Knowing we can't win, why do you insist on sending our soldiers to their deaths?! I now seriously doubt your intentions, Aquarius! We've lost half our soldiers! You, Aquarius, must give us an explanation!"

"That's right. Ten thousand of our soldiers also died. We agreed to let us charge. After your Aquarius soldiers gathered, there was a way to break through the city gate in one fell swoop. Where are your people?"

"If this war continues like this, our country will not be able to fight. Our country is a small country with few elite troops. We have lost tens of thousands of people here today, and we haven't even reached the enemy's city wall. If this gets out, I will be a sinner for our country! I don't even dare to go back and face my fellow countrymen."

…

The crowd was furious and spitting everywhere.

The generals of the four countries came to their capitals to ask about the ancients and demand an explanation.

Gu Qie was also furious. "How dare you say that? You've lost so many people and can't even reach the city wall, and you blame us, the Aquarius Nation? What did I say? You go and consume them first. Once you open the city gate, we'll take care of the rest. We, the Aquarius Nation, have elite cavalry, skilled in close combat. They're invincible. If you can't break through the city gate, how can our cavalry advance straight in?"

The fan-waving young man from Wanguang Country no longer cared about superficial etiquette. "Gu Qie, bullshit! You're just sending us to our deaths. Yuecheng has such powerful gunpowder long-range weapons, some of which can even track automatically. With such incredible firearms, this war is impossible! You said their firearms were precious and would definitely run out, but in the end, we lost 50,000 people! 50,000 soldiers! And they haven't even used up their firearms yet!!"

"If we hadn't discussed a forced retreat, we'd probably all be dead by now! Next time, if you, the Aquarius Nation, don't even think about making us charge first. We can't win this battle. They, the Da'an Nation, clearly already possess such super firearms on a large scale. Our fifty thousand men haven't even touched their city walls. Even if a million of us came, I think we'd all be courting death!"

…

Gu Qie was in the wrong, and he alone could not win the argument with so many people.

"Isn't this a miscalculation? Unexpected events happen, and people are subject to misfortunes at any moment. Who could have foreseen this? Generally speaking, such powerful firearms wouldn't be possessed on a large scale, yet it happened. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have made such a judgment. I admit my mistake, but I absolutely have no ulterior motives, nor do I intend to send you to your deaths. We are all allies in the coalition, and we rise and fall together. We are all on the same boat..."

The others were clearly unconvinced. "Bullshit! You did it on purpose! You issued the attack order, saying that anyone who didn't die in battle was a deserter. You even killed our country's messenger. You should have called it quits long ago when they discovered the underground gunpowder trap in Yuecheng. You shouldn't have rushed forward rashly, yet you insisted on forcing us to charge!"

"Your Aquarius Nation still has an Eighth Realm expert, but he's completely useless! An Eighth Realm expert led a hundred thousand troops to attack the city, and it was a night attack, but in the end, they didn't even touch the city wall. If you tell anyone about this, it's going to make you die of laughter..."

Today, the main reason why the four nations persisted and did not retreat even after suffering such a high level of casualties was because of Gu Ba, an eighth-level strongman.

Perhaps if they hold on to the end, this eighth-level strongman can save them from the desperate situation.

As a result, nothing!

The powerful people in the eighth realm did not support them at all!

Let them be slaughtered unilaterally.

For example, an eighth-level expert can be as powerful as a thousand troops at a critical moment...

Can play a decisive role.

But today, not even a shadow was seen.

Gu Qie doesn’t know what the situation is now. Since the fighting started, he has had to retreat, and his father Gu Yu has not appeared yet.

But he still needs to maintain the reputation of an eighth-level strongman.

"Have you ever seen the two regents of Da'an appear in the battle? No! These two are powerful, and with the golden eagle, they work well together and have an endless supply of firearms. They can penetrate our tent alone, take our heads, and escape safely. If they had appeared in the battle, our losses today might have been even more severe! It was my father, an eighth-level expert, who held them back..."
