Chapter 502 The Arrogant Arthas
"Uncle Wu, distribute ammunition and rations to our men, summon the brigade commanders and squad leaders at the grassroots level, formulate an evacuation plan, point out the assembly points to them, and be ready to retreat at any time!"
"Yes, sir!"
Wu Shengze showed no resistance this time. He was also a Xuan Realm expert, so how could he not perceive the changes in the world? In the past, although the Yuan Qi in his body could not be said to be inexhaustible, it could always be slowly restored. Now, however, it was decreasing little by little.
If the orcs continue their attack at this time, the main army, which mainly relies on firearms, will be better off. However, the other guards and royal guards will be different. Will the captains and lieutenants in the army be able to hold out until they are exhausted when facing orc generals and commanders who do not need the power of heaven and earth?
The little Harry, who was originally hanging on Qin Mo's chest, was now in Wang Yushi's arms. The little guy was a bit confused tonight. Why was he being switched between three close people today?
"I need to go and discuss things with Prince Chang Le first, and then I'll have to deal with the upcoming great battle. Please look after the child for me!"
"...I'm going to fight too! You take the child with you!"
"You can't get involved in the fighting today! If things get really chaotic later, just take the kids and hide, I'm begging you... okay!"
"...If you are in danger...I will still help you!"
"......."
Wang Yushi spoke with great conviction, and Qin Mo could only nod in agreement. Once this stubborn woman made up her mind, she would not change it.
Before Qin Mo could find the King of Chang Le, a huge noise came from outside the camp. Allen's starlight, Heather's light, and Arthas's pitch-black death aura intertwined. The three of them engaged in close combat like street thugs.
Heatherine and Allen set aside their pride as powerful warriors and joined forces to beat Arthas. The light of the temple and the starlight of the elves rained down on Arthas without restraint. Every time the black death aura collided with the light, it would produce leaping black flames.
The dark and evil power emanating from Arthas's blue greatsword terrified Heather and Allen. Allen's longsword clashed with it several times, and it began to rust. Occasionally, when the blue greatsword swept near their hair, a few strands would turn yellow and withered.
Heatherine and Allen, with their keen senses, immediately perceived the danger and felt a sense of unease.
Qin Mo couldn't see these details clearly. He only sensed that the Rakshasa and Orc alliance, which had just retreated, was beginning to regroup. This time, the leaders were all tall and elite Orc warriors. It seemed that they were trying to take advantage of the cultivators' fluctuating mood to concentrate their full strength and defeat the Great Xia army in one fell swoop.
Qin Mo quickened his pace and ran into a captain of the Doujin Army who claimed that Qin Yuanzhi had sent him to find him. The captain led Qin Mo to the central military tent of the Great Xia and finally found Prince Chang Le, Qin Jian, and several other commanders.
"Prince Heng, your arrival is just in time. I was just about to send someone to find you. The enemy has already begun to regroup. What do you think we should do to defend against them this time?"
"Resist? I can resist, but do your generals have the will to fight to the death?"
"We're scared too! Nobody wants to wait until they're completely exhausted. All the officers under my command want to lay low for now, so it's really hard for me as the commander!" He Sheng, the new commander of the Anwu Army, complained with a great headache.
"So, does the commander mean... that he wants to retreat?"
"Well, this... it's not settled yet. We have to fight first. Prince Heng is a man of military knowledge, so he knows how difficult it is to retreat in the dark. The soldiers of the other armies are not like your army's soldiers. Too many of them suffer from night blindness. If they trample each other, the casualties will be heavy!"
"Does the commander mean... that my army should cover the rear?"
Qin Mo looked coldly at Qin Jian, her heart burning with anger. She had come to him out of kindness to discuss how to deal with the enemy's attack, at least to hold out until dawn, but Qin Jian actually brought up night blindness. Wasn't this clearly an attempt to make her the last man in the rear?
I expended a lot of oil and vitamins to solve my subordinates' night blindness problem, not to risk my life for you.
"What are you saying, Prince Heng? I am no coward when fighting the Jin army. If you want to cover our retreat, we can do it together!"
"Old Qin is right. Our Great Xia army has traveled thousands of miles to this godforsaken place. How can we abandon our brothers? We will fight together and die together!"
Qin Yuanzhi, the commander of the Doujin Army, had a good relationship with Fu Qingyun, the commander of the Xuri Army, and Qin Mo. Hearing the anger in Qin Mo's words, he immediately distanced himself from the situation.
Qin Jian felt frustrated. He had indeed considered selecting an army to cover the rear, but it wasn't decided yet. Besides, in terms of both combat strength and morale, Da Yuanjun was indeed the most suitable candidate. The other commanders hadn't objected, but now Qin Yuanzhi and Fu Qingyun had immediately betrayed him.
"Qin Mo! There are less than two hours until dawn. Let's hold out until dawn before making a decision! If those two powerful figures can defeat Arthas, then we can turn the tide and win."
"That's settled then! Yuanzhi and Commander Fu, may I have a word with you in private?"
Qin Mo left Qin Jian's tent in frustration, followed by Qin Yuanzhi and Fu Qingyun.
"Your Highness, please don't take what happened earlier to heart. No one agreed to let you be the rearguard!" Fu Qingyun kindly advised Qin Mo, seeing her gloomy face.
"But they didn't object, did they?"
"......."
Qin Mo and Wang Yushi together subdued the armies of Xu Ri and Wei Yue. Although he gained the recognition of many lower-ranking officers, some people were secretly resentful because of his overwhelming popularity. While they wouldn't deliberately trip him up, they felt no qualms about assigning him the hard and tiring tasks.
