In stark contrast to where Sterling was, at this moment, on the Andrelian people's last holy land, there was a scene of singing and dancing. With less than a thousand casualties, the entire army of the Mocaster Empire was completely annihilated. In the minds of the Andrelian people, this was a miracle and an unparalleled victory.
Although most of them didn't know what this war meant, victory was victory and was something to be very happy about. As the one who planned and commanded this battle, I was also extremely respected by the Andrel people.
"Sir, I never thought that this war would turn out like this... This is incredible!" Shen Xiang, who has been extremely excited since he learned the news, has said this to me several times in a row. In his impression, his so-called after-sales service team, in addition to maintaining the weapons sold, can only get some gossip from the enemy troops at most. He had never thought of an operation like this.
"There will be many things that will surprise you in the future! Think about it yourself. Since you two thousand people followed me, how many wars have you experienced? Up to now, how many have we destroyed, and how many have we lost?"
"That's right. In the past two years or so since I followed you, my brothers and I have watched you come step by step. If there is one person we are most grateful to and admire the most, it is definitely you, sir.
During these two years of ups and downs, we have experienced so many wars, and most of our 2,000 people were able to survive, all thanks to the adults' superb wisdom and those powerful weapons.
Since returning to the imperial capital, when the master announced that we were free men, we have made up our minds to follow the master wholeheartedly for the rest of our lives. … No matter what the master asks us to do in the future, we 2,000 men will definitely follow the master. … … … "Looking at the bonfire in front of him, Shen Xiang said something with deep emotion that made me very happy.
"Anyway, I just want to say one thing. If you all follow me loyally, I, Shen, will never let you down. As long as I, Shen Hanlong, eat, I will never let you brothers have nothing to eat... From now on, we are a family. Except in front of others, you can just call me Hanlong..." Attitude, in the current situation, it is also very necessary to lower your attitude to win people's hearts. For these slave soldiers who have always followed me and never left my command, although I did not show anything on the surface, in my heart, I have always attached great importance to them.
"Your Excellency is too kind! If you hadn't been so determined to train us, we would have died on the battlefield. From the beginning, everyone thought that you were a cruel commander... But now, no one among us doubts your good intentions. Sir, from now on, as long as you trust us, you can tell us anything. We, 2,000 people, will never frown no matter what happens..."
"Don't say such harsh words, as if we are about to lose the battle... Come on, drink! Let's stop saying those discouraging words and talk about the problems of those maintenance workers you rescued this time." Seeing Shen Xiang was a little excited, I quickly changed the subject.
After raising the wine jar to fill the bowl in my hand, Shen Xiang asked curiously, "Sir, those brothers, whether they are our people or Andrell's friends, are very tough. If they hadn't risked their lives to shoot the other side's legion commander into a hedgehog with a crossbow at close range, there is no telling how many casualties our troops would have suffered! Do you have any opinion on them?"
"Opinions? What opinions would I have? They did a very good job this time and completed the mission absolutely successfully. Moreover, the courage and fearlessness of sacrifice they showed when attacking the enemy commander after destroying the enemy's weapons are worthy of learning for all of us... But, what I mean is, how should we arrange them in the future?" Seeing that Shen Xiang had misunderstood what I meant, I quickly corrected him.
"Sir, this time 39 out of the 103 people were lucky enough to escape. I originally planned to let them rest for a while, let them replenish the lost manpower, and continue to arrange them to do after-sales maintenance work. Do you have a better plan?"
"Yes, I think we shouldn't send them on such missions anymore. Let them stay in the bases and let them be inspectors or foremen of the processes..."
"But sir, they are all elites who have experienced life and death tests! After all, after the first experience, they will definitely do better next time. I originally wanted to disperse these 39 people and assign them to other after-sales service teams to improve the actual action capabilities of each team..." Shen Xiang was very puzzled by my decision. If it wasn't me who said this, I'm afraid he would have already shouted at me angrily.
"Your opinion is not wrong, but have you ever thought about what their chances of survival are? And have you ever thought about what the inner world of people who have experienced such life and death is like? Especially those who have experienced it once, if they are assigned to the maintenance team again, they will lose their last hope for life. Such people may not be a big deal in the army, but such a situation must not appear in the maintenance team. If they leak a little clue due to their mental breakdown, it will not only affect the safety of everyone in their maintenance team, but also our entire Holy Warrior Weapon Bank will be completely destroyed... At the same time, it will also directly affect the further implementation of our Holy Warrior plan..."
"Sir, I have learned my lesson again. I will rearrange them immediately. If the Holy Warrior's plan fails due to such a situation, I will really deserve to be put to death!" Having said that, Shen Xiang immediately stood up, ready to salute me and leave.
"Don't worry, there's no rush right now. Let's enjoy the wine and food provided by our friends in Andriel! There aren't many days like this. If I wasn't afraid of being laughed at for our Flame Legion being petty, I would really like to bring the entire army here!" Pulling Shen Xiang, I smiled and pulled him down on the chair.
“In fact, there is another great benefit to not letting the survivors take risks again, which is that it will prevent those brothers who have not yet completed their mission from losing hope of survival.
Think about it, if someone in the team who has not carried out the mission is afraid of this dangerous work and retreats, when they find that one is to have a peaceful life after carrying out the mission once, and the other is to carry out the death mission endlessly, what do you think he will choose? And what will he do? "
After I finished speaking, I patted Shen Xiang on the shoulder, raised a bowl of wine and walked to the side of the venue. Ah, alcohol tolerance, alcohol tolerance! If I drank such a big bowl of wine, I would probably get drunk and crazy at night. Who knows what kind of jokes I would make? Talk nonsense, get drunk and crazy, or molest a boar or a sow or something...
"Lord Shen!" Just as I was about to pour out the bowl of wine, Musa's shout made me very embarrassed. From what I just learned, for the Andrel people, wine is almost like the psychological complex that the believers in medieval Europe had towards the so-called holy water. My action is undoubtedly a blasphemy.
But Musa didn't notice any of this. His face was full of contradictions, both joy and worry. But when he whispered something in my ear, I started to tremble. The only thing I wanted to say was: God, why is my life so miserable! (To be continued)
