Xia Xiao held Ah Zhu's wrist and stood at the entrance of the military camp, not waiting for his father and elder brother, but to help those who were injured but not incapacitated. There were many such people, and Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu helped whenever they could, and they were busy for a long time. When everyone quickly felt very friendly, they walked back to the tent, lifted the curtain but did not go in.

"What's wrong?"

Ah Zhu narrowed his eyes. He had set out early in the morning, and now it was already afternoon. He was hungry and sleepy. He really should have a good meal and then take a good nap. But this curtain was like a yin-yang barrier, which made Xia Xiao silent for a long time. Finally, he said:

"I just heard a cry in the wind, probably from the dead soldiers."

"ah?"

Ah Zhu was a little scared of the corpses scattered all over the ground, but countless corpses were brought back from the battlefield, and then burned and divided into boxes. Those scenes made her feel horrified when she thought about them, but although the soldiers died, their souls still lived. Everyone will protect their own land and bless the living to protect this land.

Although this battle was a complete victory, there were many casualties. Not far from the military camp, flames shot up into the sky, and the air was filled with an indescribable stench, which made Ah Zhu feel nauseous and she quickly ran into the tent. She felt like vomiting, but she felt that she was being disrespectful to the dead, so she suppressed the nausea and sat on the chair with an ugly expression.

The guard in charge of their daily life came in with hot water. The joy on his face was obviously a celebration, and his words were even more cheerful.

"Third Young Master, you and Miss wait for a moment. The kitchen has prepared a feast today to reward you, the heroes."

"Thank you for your help."

"I'll be waiting at the door. Call me if you need anything."

Xia Xiao added water for Ah Zhu, and when it was neither hot nor cold, she let Ah Zhu wash up, but she still felt nauseous. Xia Xiao's previous words were not a big blow, but Ah Zhu was still a little afraid of the existence on the battlefield. But gradually, she felt a sweet taste in her throat, which finally turned into a bloody taste, like a precursor to a nosebleed, but she would not show it if she dripped blood.

The mysterious feeling in her heart made Ah Zhu feel strange. She gradually felt that her body's reaction was not fear, but a kind of looming desire. But Ah Zhu felt that she had no need for the battlefield and blood.

"No more meat?"

As soon as he heard the word meat, Ah Zhu immediately came to his senses.

"Why not eat? I want to eat!"

"Then wash up. The meal has been here for a long time."

Xia Xiao didn't wait for Ah Zhu and started eating. Ah Zhu frowned. How could he have been distracted for so long?

Ah Zhu felt that only a few minutes had passed, but in fact, an hour had passed. If Xia Xiao hadn't mentioned the meat, she would have continued to be in a daze, and she didn't know when it would end. Ah Zhu felt that she was becoming more and more strange recently. She had never been like this before, but recently she always had an indescribable feeling. Ah Zhu didn't have a good grasp of adjectives, but she was like a carnivore that had not yet grown up, and the scenes around her gradually stimulated her bloodthirsty heart.

No matter how carefree he was, Ah Zhu realized something was wrong, but he had to return to the academy to talk about his life experience and secrets.

“The braised pork smells so good.”

Ah Zhu washed up behind the screen, and just the smell made him energetic. As usual, he put everything he had encountered behind his mind. But some new soldiers couldn't eat today. Even though they were very tired, they had seen many dead people before, but today's scale was unprecedented. The bodies lying in all directions were piles of blood-covered meat, which made them feel nauseous while holding the bowls, and finally ran to the side to vomit.

Seeing their miserable appearance, the old soldier laughed at them, but at the same time he comforted them. Everyone has a process. When you are really hungry and have seen a lot, how can you say that you can't eat braised pork? This is a rare delicacy in the military camp, and everyone is charged by the block.

There was a billowing black smoke over the military camp. Many veterans saw it and their faces turned serious. They couldn't help but feel melancholy. Although most of the soldiers were rough, they couldn't ignore the smoke. In the smoke were the brothers who had eaten with them yesterday. Even though they were all ready to return to dust, it was still a moving sight to see it floating in the sky.

The cruelty of the battlefield is here, showing the greed of human nature and the fragility of life. On the battlefield, emotional loss of control and adjustment are commonplace. A tear that flows from the corner of the eye is not because of something tragic, but simply because things have changed.

On one side of the billowing black smoke, Lin Tian stood upright, watching these brave soldiers leave the world and turn into dust. Carriages were pulling back ashes one by one, and he watched quietly, not knowing when there was one more person beside him. This was Si Tianhua, who had the strength of a Venerable Realm Qu Lun, but he was weak at this time, obviously seriously injured.

"Although a great practitioner was seriously injured and almost fatally, the war still ended in victory."

"Thanks to the bravery of the soldiers, no Daxia people can be missing in this battle."

After a moment of silence, Lin Tian said:

"Senior, I always have a bad feeling."

"The emperor's decree will arrive tonight. We should prepare for departure in advance and let the seriously injured go first tonight. Not only you, I also think that the southern merchants will not miss this opportunity."

Having just won a victory, the soldiers were excited, but they were exhausted physically and mentally and needed to rest. However, the situation was dangerous, so they rested early tonight and packed up the things they needed. Tomorrow morning, except for these tents, all the things in them would be transported away. The attack by Nan Shang would be in vain.

This is the general plan in the minds of the people of Daxia, but whether it can succeed depends on how the southern merchants execute it. That night, many people in Daxia could not fall asleep, waiting for a carrier pigeon in the night. It was well-trained and did not delay, delivering the letter here as quickly as possible. When Lin Tian opened it, the few numbers in it all meant retreat.

"The wounded go first, and some soldiers will follow."

"yes!"

The apparently dormant military camp moved eastwards under the cover of night without any lanterns. In the same night, a 500,000-man army and a team of practitioners hiding in the dark arrived at Fujikawa.

This special army was silent and when Tiemian found them, they were already standing not far away, but not close to the city, as if they were unwilling to associate with these useless generals and cowardly soldiers. Tiemian personally greeted them, but when he saluted, the young man in the lead did not show him too much respect, but said arrogantly:

"I only take orders from the prince and His Majesty, and I am not on the same level as you, so you only need to provide me with the real-time situation of Daxia."

The young man's straight back made the adjutants beside Tiemian unhappy. They were about to step forward, but Tiemian raised his hand to stop them. The man in front of him was slightly weaker than himself, but the combat effectiveness of an army composed of practitioners must be beyond his imagination. Although he also had many practitioners under his command, most of them were unruly and difficult to tame, unlike this integrated army, the power they exerted was not as simple as one plus one equals two.
