A day later, Yueying was defeated.
If the Fourth Battalion could continue to provide support as before, the Moon Battalion might actually be able to win a battle.
Unfortunately, during the fierce battle, the four camps supporting the Moon Camp suddenly retreated completely.
Without support, the Moon Camp was left fighting alone, and they immediately became unfit. The soldiers panicked, their battle formation collapsed, and they were defeated like a mountain, fleeing thousands of miles, with even greater casualties than in previous battles.
The next day, Shangguan Ning got the battle report and threw it in Lingcheng's face.
"Look what you've done!"
This fall used up his cultivation, leaving a bloody mark under Ling Cheng's eye. His eyes darkened for a moment, and then he quickly cried out in grievance:
"Your Excellency is wise. It's not that I'm unwilling to assist the Moon Battalion, but rather that the Second Battalion suddenly caused trouble, and the core battle formation of the Fourth Battalion was unstable. I had no choice but to return to defend. Otherwise, more than half of the Fourth Battalion would have been killed or wounded!"
"So what if more than half of us are dead or wounded? Why are you retreating? You knew the Second Battalion was watching closely, so why didn't you take precautions? Do you know what I paid for this battle?!"
Shangguan Ning gnashed his teeth in hatred, "Just a little bit, just a little bit..."
Ling Cheng almost laughed out loud as he watched Shangguan Ning's fury and curses.
He is the same age as the four battalions, so naturally he has to take care of his own people first. How could he sacrifice himself for the Moon Battalion?
Moreover, this plan was originally a play he and Nie Zhi conspired to perform, with Ye Chuxue's suggestion also included.
He obeyed Yue Sheng's orders as a temporary measure, but this time he was really disgusted by Shangguan Ning's shameful behavior.
He would not be happy unless more of those ungrateful female fairies who followed Shangguan Ning for a little benefit died.
On this side, Shangguan Ning calmed down after venting his anger and finally knew how to make amends.
"I'm not in a good mood today, so my words don't count. Just pretend you didn't hear anything and go away."
Ling Cheng's lips curled up slightly, "I'll take my leave."
Silence returned to the hall.
Shangguan Ning looked at the battle report in front of him, and his brows twisted into the shape of the Chinese character "川".
She was so angry with Yue Sheng that she even forgot that Shangguan Qian was also at the base.
It's not her fault. Shangguan Qian was really quiet during this period. She was distracted by the battlefield and ignored him for a while.
After all, it's Yuesheng's fault.
If that guy had been obedient, we would have won the battle long ago and there wouldn't have been so many unexpected problems.
"Sir, to date, the Moon Camp has suffered three thousand casualties and can no longer withstand any further hardship.
Moreover, a series of defeats will damage the prestige of the human race. There is no guarantee that it will not alert the clan. If they send someone down and find out that you are here..."
Remembering the reminder from Ye Chuxue when he delivered the battle report in the early morning, Shangguan Ning could no longer sit still. He stood up and turned around and went to the backyard of the tavern in the small town where he was stationed.
This time, she stood in front of the door and hesitated to knock on it.
She felt a burning pain on her face as she stood there now because of the harsh words she had said before she left last time.
"Yue Sheng" hit the nail on the head. Only two days had passed since the last breakdown of talks, and she was here again.
There is nothing more humiliating than this.
"How long will Lord Shangguan stand outside the door?" Xiang Sheng's laughing voice came from inside the door.
Shangguan Ning's expression was stiff as he pushed the door open and walked in.
Still under the same tree, Shangguan Ning did not beat around the bush this time, nor did he say anything rude. He silently took out the two magic weapons from last time and placed them on the stone table.
After hesitating for a moment, he took out another letter and said, "I am a good friend of the City Lord of Huacheng, but our friendship is not very deep.
However, he was uneasy because of something strange happening in the ghost town before, so he wanted to investigate. If you take this letter to him, he will lead you into the ghost town."
When it comes to understanding the Ghost Town, no one knows it better than the City Lord of Huacheng. This letter is the key to successfully entering the Ghost Town.
Xiang Sheng picked up the letter, took out the letter paper and opened it. He glanced at the contents of the letter and found nothing unusual.
Putting it away along with the ring and sword ball, she smiled and said, "Sir Shangguan's sincerity is obvious to all. I will show up and help you out."
But before that, could you please release me from my oath?"
"Can."
Shangguan Ning patiently raised his hand and swore an oath, breaking the oath to heaven with Xiang Sheng.
When the thought that was restraining his heart faded away, Xiang Sheng put down his hand and talked about the war:
"It will take time to rebuild morale. Lord Shangguan will have to wait another two days before going into battle. By then, I will instruct Ye Chuxue to deploy the troops and win the battle for the Moon Camp.
Afterwards, I will teleport directly away from the battlefield and head to the ghost town."
Shangguan Ning nodded repeatedly, feeling rather pleased. She wished Yue Sheng would die on the battlefield, so how could she possibly help him reach the ghost town?
She had tampered with everything she handed over. If any of it worked, Yue Sheng would be dead!
After all, she was the smartest one, haha...
She laughed in her heart, but before her smile was even halfway through, she heard Xiang Sheng suddenly change the subject and said:
"It's not that I don't trust you, sir. Since this transaction has been quite bumpy, I've left behind some tricks. I hope you don't mind."
Shangguan Ning's expression changed slightly, "What method?"
"It's just that if I can't enter Ghost Town smoothly, the news that you, the Lord, are eager for quick success, trying to take credit for your subordinates' achievements and then throw mud at them, and replacing your generals at the last minute, thus missing the opportunity to fight, will spread to every corner of the garrison. If someone from the Shangguan family comes by then..."
Xiang Sheng paused, then laughed again: "Shangguan is a man of his word. He would never do anything to harm me, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Shangguan Ning's face immediately became as colorful as if a dyeing factory had opened, and it was extremely brilliant.
"you……"
"Lord Shangguan, you don't believe that I have the means to transmit messages remotely like this?"
