The fortress's gate was completely breached, and the materials that made up the gate were scattered all over the ground. Several young soldiers moved the fragments and handed them to the engineers to patch them up, piecing them together piece by piece like a puzzle to build a temporary gate.
Whether such a city gate can withstand the next attack from the demons remains a mystery.
After passing through the dilapidated city gate, a soldier hurriedly came to Yang Yu and his group and said to them:
"General Walsh has been waiting at the command post for a long time. Please follow me as soon as possible."
Without saying a word, Yang Yu and his companions followed the soldiers to the command post.
Several soldiers squatted under the eaves, wiping the dust and blood from their hands and chewing on the hard-to-swallow dry rations.
Seeing Yang Yu and his team passing by, the soldiers immediately stood up and saluted Yang Yu to express their highest respect.
At the beginning, when Yang Yu and his men arrived, many soldiers saw that only a few reinforcements had arrived, and their high spirits were almost extinguished. Fortunately, some soldiers recognized Yang Yu and his companions in time.
After the ceasefire between the Rose Empire and the Wansheng Republic, Yang Yu, as a prominent figure among them, was talked about by most soldiers and gradually became known as a god.
Yang Yu was given many titles, such as "a huge god of death who can call the wind and rain", "a predictor who knew the outcome of the war long ago", and "a philanthropist who treats all races equally".
Many soldiers were even proud of having met Yang Yu once.
Of course, not everyone admires Yang Yu unconditionally. The relatives and friends of the soldiers who died under Yang Yu are quite skeptical about Yang Yu.
Yang Yu saw a little resentment in the eyes of a soldier. This soldier might have been called up by his companions and forced to salute him.
Maybe the soldier felt that everything was as it should be and Yang Yu was atoning for his previous sins.
Living in this world, you can’t avoid being criticized.
Everyone has a unique growth experience and personality. The perspective, approach and method they use to look at certain things are related to their unique growth experience and personality.
Some people like sweet rice dumplings, some like salty ones, some like both, and some like neither.
One person cannot please everyone in the world.
Through repeated choices, Yang Yu has long developed a strong heart, and his choices will no longer be manipulated by others.
If you take this and that into consideration, try to cater to a certain group, regret the choices you have made, you will gradually lose yourself and ultimately accomplish nothing.
Following the soldiers' footsteps, Yang Yu and his companions came to the temporary command post.
General Walsh and two other generals stayed there, sitting in their seats, discussing what to do next.
There were several chairs next to the three people, all empty.
Seeing Yang Yu and his group coming, Wall stood up to greet them:
"Long time no see, Mr. Yang Yu.
You came at the right time. Thanks to you, we were able to resist the attack of the demons.
I may have to trouble you again next time."
Yang Yu glanced at the other two generals with sharp eyes and sighed:
"Haven't you contacted the Emperor? Haven't you heard anything from him?"
Wall noticed something and shook his head: "His Majesty the Emperor hasn't been contacted yet.
We also want to ask His Majesty the King for reinforcements, but...
The situation in the north seems to be more serious, and any reinforcements should be sent there.
If it were me, I would definitely do that.
This place can only be defended by the people here."
Wallshi Eden was once the great general of the Rose Empire. The fact that he said such things shows how serious the situation is.
".Can I ask what your plans are going to be next?" Wall-Shi Eden raised his hand and stroked his mustache. His movements were neither as calm nor as contented as before.
Yang Yu told his plan to Wallace Eden without hesitation:
“The battle is over for now, we will take a short break here.
Then, cut northward like a pair of scissors, recapture as many cities as possible, or at least create interference in their rear.
Then we will look for him. It is possible that the other party will find us first.
You should have heard about our performance on the battlefield today.
If we continue to stay here, we may bring even greater disaster upon ourselves.
If we run, we can play a game of cat and mouse with the demons.
In fact, they are also playing a cat-and-mouse game. Maybe they can just sit back and wait for the rabbit to come to them.
Our fighting power is not as good as the Demon King's army.
The only advantage is that we are familiar with this world.
How long this war will last and how fierce it will be depends on who can be the cat and eat the mouse. "
Wallshi Eden nodded repeatedly, but frowned: "This should be the job of a brave man, right
He will first eliminate the cadres in the Demon King's army, and then we will eliminate the Demon King's army.
But until now, there is still no news about the hero. Where did he go
If possible, I hope he thought of the same thing as you and started planning.
This time's Demon King's army is different from previous Demon King's armies.
Perhaps because the Demon King’s Castle was completely destroyed, they had more time to prepare.”
"Brave man.
I sincerely hope that he can grow up and take concrete actions to resist the devil.
Whether the hero takes action or not, I am prepared for the worst.
The demon army has been running all the way without any rest. I can see some fatigue on their faces. Perhaps they will rest like us today.
But because of our existence, some problems may arise, so we must never let our guard down.
I came here just to say hello.
We will prepare the accommodation ourselves. If you find the enemy, please notify us as soon as possible.
We will rest for a while and will probably leave the city in the early morning. Please don't disturb us if there is nothing else.
Maybe we'll meet tomorrow.
I want to take on the challenge with a full spirit.”
After saying that, Yang Yu turned around and walked out of the command center with his companions.
General Walshi wanted to say something but didn't open his mouth. He just watched Yang Yu and the others go away, frowned, and continued to stroke his graying mustache.
Suddenly, Yang Yu stopped in his tracks and turned to apologize to Wallace Eden at the entrance of the command center:
"And one more thing
By the time we got to the island, it was too late.
I'm sorry about your daughter."
Wall's worried face revealed a relieved smile:
“I have heard the details from the child’s good friend.
If you try to rescue them while they are still alive, you might lose your life if you are not strong enough.
There is a lot I want to say, but now is not the time.
Please allow me to say it again solemnly:
Thank you for everything you do.
This time, don’t be impatient. I believe you can continue to grow.
As long as you live, there will always be a way."
