"You bastard! How dare you spread rumors in front of all the officials? Drag him away! Behead him!!"
The palace steward was furious after hearing the soldier's report.
This is Yunzhou, where did the Dagan soldiers come from? They were still talking today that the Yanyun army was about to enter Dagan.
How dare a few blind bastards lie about military intelligence here?
"Yes, by the housekeeper!" Upon hearing this, the palace guards immediately went up, kicked the soldiers to the ground, and dragged them out to be beheaded.
The guests present were all dignitaries, including many military strategists.
They all knew very well that a steward of a royal palace did not hold any official position at all, let alone any qualifications to order the killing of soldiers on the front line.
However, no one dared to object. After all, this was the steward of the palace. These soldiers could die, but they couldn't offend the palace because of irrelevant people.
"Have mercy—what we have reported is true."
"Don't kill us, Commander Han Derang has been killed by the enemy. Your Highness only needs to send troops to take a look and you will know. How dare we deceive Your Highness? Ah! Don't kill me, ah——"
The soldier screamed as his knees were smashed by the palace guards and he was dragged out forcibly.
Seeing such a cruel scene, an elderly military officer finally stood up and said quickly:
"Butler, please be patient. These soldiers appear to be my men. I don't think they have the guts to do this. Let me investigate personally. If they're telling lies, I'll execute them myself."
The military officer said this not out of kindness, but simply because he didn't want to get into trouble.
After all, if the palace were to investigate, it would eventually lead to him being the one responsible.
"Hmph, you'd better find out, otherwise..."
Before the steward could finish his words, he suddenly saw a vulture circling in the sky, emitting a mournful cry. Many officials were startled by the sight.
These vultures are the messenger birds they raise. How come so many of them fly back at once?
"No way? Could it be true..."
The butler's expression also changed, and he asked the servants to summon the vulture down.
After a while, the butler rushed in with a dozen bloody notes:
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... Military intelligence, there is military intelligence."
The butler rushed to the outside of Prince Tiefu's bridal chamber and shouted loudly.
BANG!!
The door was violently opened, and an extremely burly and strong man walked out naked.
He looks to be in his forties, but he is actually over a hundred years old. His muscles are still muscular and full of strength.
As the door opened, one could see several naked women lying on the ground, their bodies covered in bruises...
"What's up?"
When the burly man opened his mouth, his voice was like a bell and his face was like an angry cheetah.
The butler, facing the ferocious King Tiefu, dared not act rashly. He knelt down and spoke tremblingly, "My king, there's military intelligence from the front. The Yunzhou city wall has been captured..."
"What?"
King Tiefu opened his eyes, grabbed the bloody notes with one hand, and read them quickly.
Of course he knew that the Dagan army was heading straight for Yunzhou. In fact, in two days he would lead his troops to defend the city.
Unexpectedly, Da Gan’s troops have arrived and even breached the city wall.
"Is this Han Derang made of dog shit? He died too quickly."
Just at this moment, an almost naked woman rushed out of the room crying, and it seemed that she was about to escape.
King Tiefu held down the fleeing woman with one hand and slapped her in the face. The woman's crying stopped abruptly and her head turned 360 degrees.
King Tiefu threw the woman's body away and shouted, "Call up the troops and follow me to kill the enemy—"
Not long after, King Tiefu, wearing armor, strode out of the palace.
…
"Report to the General! All the bodies have been brought here..."
Gong Qiu reported this to Lin Che personally, a look of embarrassment on his face. "Some of the bodies that had been reduced to pulp were too much to carry, so we packed them up in bags and piled them up nearby."
Lin Che looked at the dense pile of corpses in front of him, nodded, and said nothing.
Kuntai said with a rather rude smile, "General, are you going to whip the corpse? Do you want to drive all the civilians out and whip the corpse in public to scare them?"
"Kuntai-ah..."
"arrive!"
Lin Che spoke with deep emotion, "The military is all about killing, and killing the enemy is the most common thing. There's also a saying that kindness is not good for commanding an army. But if we kill the enemy and then insult the corpse in every possible way, that would be a low standard. Over time, you'll develop a bloodthirsty mind! You'll become a killing machine! Do you understand?"
Kuntai's smile froze upon hearing this. He clasped his fists towards Lin Che and bowed.
"Thank you, General, for saving my life!"
Lin Che simply nodded, then gave the order: "The Divine Machine Battalion retreats five miles—"
All the soldiers were confused. The general ordered the bodies to be moved here, but instead of angering the enemy and giving them an opportunity, they retreated five miles. Why?
The Shenji Camp acted according to orders and just as they took up a good position, they saw the scouts ahead sending a message.
"Fifty thousand enemy troops appeared ahead—"
Once 50,000 enemy troops rush into this residential area, there will be all kinds of street fighting and rooftop fighting.
For the Shenji Camp, the effectiveness of war horses and giant wolves is greatly reduced.
But they all knew that General Lin Che's order must have a deeper meaning. If they couldn't figure out the deeper meaning, it must be because they were not smart enough.
