Chapter 374 You're Really Complimenting Me
When Wang Xinyao led He Tian's personal guards back to the military camp, the dusk was already as dark as ink.
The last ray of setting sun in the sky was swallowed by the darkness. The torches lit in the military camp swayed in the night wind, illuminating the tired but resolute faces of the soldiers.
Not long after, the personal guards led by Hu Wei also returned in the night.
The two teams met in front of the camp gate and exchanged a knowing look with each other.
Although they were all exhausted after the battle, there was a gleam of victory in everyone's eyes.
In the military consultation room, General Chen Guangze's complexion improved significantly after a day of rest.
"Madam." As soon as he saw Wang Xinyao come in, he immediately stood up to greet her, and his tense expression obviously relaxed.
As soon as Wang Xinyao sat down, Hu Wei stepped forward and saluted.
"Madam, General, when I was ordered to rush to the aid of the villages in the west, I happened to encounter a large number of Wo Lie sneaking into our Xia territory through the mountain forest trails."
His voice was steady and powerful, echoing in the quiet meeting room.
"Fortunately, our army arrived in time, and no local civilians were killed or injured. In this battle, a total of 8,000 Wo Lie were annihilated..."
Having said that, Hu Wei paused, turned to Gu Ze who was standing beside him, and showed sincere gratitude in his eyes.
"Thanks to Master Gu's bravery, he intercepted the enemy leader at the critical moment. Otherwise, not only would the leader have escaped, but I would have been injured as well."
Wang Xinyao raised the corners of her lips slightly when she heard this.
She had always known that Gu Ze was very powerful, which was why she felt particularly relieved when she heard that he was going to accompany her.
At this moment, she glanced at Gu Ze inconspicuously, and saw that he looked indifferent, as if the heroic feat on the battlefield was just a piece of cake.
"What is the casualty situation of our army?" Chen Guangze asked impatiently, his brows unconsciously furrowed.
Every time he counted the casualties after a battle, it was like cutting flesh from his heart.
Those faces that we have seen day and night may disappear forever.
Hu Wei straightened his back, his voice filled with excitement.
"General, over 600 of our soldiers were wounded in this battle, but we have a medical team accompanying us, and all the wounded have been treated."
"The most important thing is..." He took a deep breath, "Not a single one of our soldiers was killed!"
"What?" Chen Guangze stood up suddenly, and the teacups on the table clinked.
"No one was killed? How, how is this possible?" He stared at Hu Wei in disbelief.
Then he turned to look at Wang Xinyao and asked, "Madam, how is the battle going on your side?"
"We annihilated 10,000 of the Wo Lie army, and no one died. And..."
Wang Xinyao paused, and a sharp light flashed in her smiling eyes.
"Besides, I also killed a prince."
After saying that, Wang Xinyao stood up calmly and took out a golden token from her arms.
The token has clear patterns and a gem in the center.
"General, please take a look." She handed over the token.
Chen Guangze's hands trembled slightly as he took the token.
When he saw the dragon pattern carved on the token and the unique emblem of the Ware Kingdom royal family, he couldn't help but gasp.
"This is... a prince's order! A prince's order from the Kingdom of Warei, whose status is second only to the crown prince!"
He suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with shock: "Could it be that Madam encountered Wo Lie's most elite Tiansheng Army?"
There was an uproar in the conference room.
The generals at the border looked at each other in confusion. Everyone knew the position of the Tiansheng Army in the Wa Lie Kingdom's army.
That was the most trusted personal guard of the Emperor of Warekoku, and they were always known for their bravery and fighting skills.
But today, this powerful army was defeated at the border of Xia State, and even the prince died.
"Tiansheng Army? It seems to have such a symbol."
Wang Xinyao thought for a moment and replied, "However, the prince leading the group is quite reckless. How can he be called an elite division?"
"Madam, you don't know," Chen Guangze explained quickly, "Since I was injured, the Wa Lie Kingdom has repeatedly invaded our borders, causing heavy casualties among the people.
Although the Tiansheng Army has only 10,000 people, each of them has outstanding martial arts skills. The lowest level of cultivation is at the peak of the Spirit Realm, and there are hundreds of people at the Martial Emperor Realm.
Although that prince acted impulsively, he was a martial arts expert, at least at the peak of the Martial Emperor realm.
What is even more rare is that all his lieutenants are resourceful and make up for the shortcomings of the main general.
In today's battle, they must have underestimated the enemy, believing that our army had no more talent to use. Furthermore, with the main force transferred to Sand Moon Bay, they never expected the lady to come to the border in person."
Wang Xinyao nodded slightly in agreement, then turned to Xiao Xizi and asked, "Is there any unusual movement in the military camp?"
"My Madam," Xiao Xizi replied respectfully, "As you expected, the Japanese have indeed sent three top masters to assassinate the general.
The people who came here are all at the peak of the Martial Emperor realm. If your subordinates had not listened to your wife and been prepared in advance, I am afraid that the general would have…” At this point, he stopped talking with a serious expression.
Chen Guangze and Chen Liangxian were both shocked when they heard this, and it was obvious that they had no idea about the assassin.
"Three peak Martial Emperors?" Chen Guangze sneered, a cold glint in his eyes. "You really flatter me."
You have to know that before this, he was seriously injured and it was extremely difficult for him to even get up, let alone fight with others.
The Japanese mobilized such a large army, it seems that they want to take his life at all costs.
At this moment, a hurried voice came from outside the door: "General, it's not good..."
