Black Book

Chapter 393 I want to focus on military affairs

"Roar!!"

The shrill howls that did not sound like human voices echoed over the town. Mu Qiaolan rolled and struggled on the ground in pain. The blood vessels on her face were wriggling under her skin like black poisonous snakes, spreading throughout her body.

The muscles all over her body spasmed and expanded uncontrollably, and a faint scarlet mist rose up, condensing into red smoke visible to the naked eye around Mu Qiaolan.

After a long time, the beast-like roar gradually subsided. Mu Qiaolan slowly propped herself up, her scarlet eyes filled with the bloody light that was ready to devour anyone.

"There are still some fish that have escaped the net in this town. Go and kill them."

"Yes!"

With a hoarse growl, Mu Qiaolan used her hands and feet and rushed out like a bloodthirsty beast, disappearing around the corner in the blink of an eye.

Immediately, screams of fear and despair were heard not far away, and then stopped abruptly.

"What kind of secret method is this? Why does it seem like a method of divine infiltration?"

Bai Linglong, who was standing behind Zhu Haomiao and witnessed the whole process, asked curiously.

Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao just pursed his lips and smiled without saying anything.

Seeing that he didn't want to talk more, Bai Linglong pursed her lips and tactfully changed the subject.

"The town has been basically cleared, but some of the more alert enemies have escaped, and some of the smarter ones have returned to reality and are hiding."

Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao frowned in distress.

This is the important reason why he must lead a large army to sweep the area!
Once the Adventers leave the battle, they can avoid being hunted down by "going offline", and then "going online" to cause trouble after the threat leaves.

If there are only one or two important visitors, you can just "sit back and wait".

But now there are tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Third Brothers scattered across most of Yongzhou's land. It's impossible for you to guard every one of them, right?
God knows when they will go online!
"Alas... we still have too few people, and we are stretched to the limit..."

Hearing Zhu Haomiao's sigh, Bai Linglong shrugged helplessly.

"We can't do anything about it. If the enemy can't win on the front battlefield, then they will definitely resort to guerrilla warfare and public security warfare. We can only rely on the local indigenous people in this regard. We have to focus our energy on the front battlefield."

"Anyway, the organized enemies have been eliminated, and the ones hiding are just rotten fish and shrimps. After the new troops from various provinces arrive, we should be able to slowly eliminate these hidden dangers."

Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao nodded thoughtfully.

"You guys handle these things. I have a lot to do. I want to focus on military affairs."

Bai Linglong: “…………”

As they were talking, a figure covered in blood slowly walked over from a distance. Sticky blood soaked through his body and dripped down, leaving creepy crimson marks with every step he took.

The stench of internal organs mixed with the smell of blood hit his face. Looking at Mu Qiaolan who was gradually approaching, Zhu Haomiao frowned in disgust.

"Go take a shower, change your clothes, and don't be so dirty next time."

"........."

The sickly and distorted eyes were stunned for a moment, and after a long time Mu Qiaolan nodded, then turned around and walked away obediently.

Zhu Haomiao waited until she left before continuing to ask Bai Linglong beside him.

"What is the situation now?"

"Overall, it went smoothly. The Jinyiwei, who came from the underworld, are good at special operations. With the help of the Adventers, the enemy still hasn't figured out what happened."

As she spoke, Bai Linglong pointed her finger and a huge translucent screen unfolded in mid-air.

On the real-time map, the red area representing the enemy has shrunk significantly. Hundreds of teams are connected in a line, reaping lives like a sickle and compressing and driving the remaining enemies to the rear.

"How was the casualty?" "Not bad. The enemy has lost at least tens of thousands of people, while we have only suffered more than a dozen casualties."

Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao's eyes moved, and he realized how sharp the martial arts masters were in this kind of small-scale conflict.

………………

At the other end of the battlefield, Hongjila, with his upper body naked and his chest wrapped in snow-white gauze, slammed the table hard.

"what is going on?"

The violent movement affected the wound, and blood with light golden particles spread on the white gauze, causing his eyebrows to twitch in pain.

In the big tent, a group of subordinates looked at each other, and finally Chigu Mantu stepped forward.

"Marshal, I'm afraid that the reinforcements from Dazhen have arrived."

"I know it's Dazhen's reinforcements, but who's leading them? Which unit? Don't you have any clue?"

"........."

Chigu Mantu's face turned red and he was speechless.

Tens of thousands of people were lost in just a few days. Although most of them were vassal cannon fodder, it was indeed a bit outrageous that they couldn't even figure out who the enemy was.

However, Chigumantu also had a lot of grievances in his heart that he couldn't express.

This time the enemies are completely different from the previous ones. They are more mobile than the Centaurs and more ruthless, leaving almost no one alive!

Most of the defeated soldiers who ran back were those who fled at the sight of the enemy, and it was impossible to ask them anything. All they knew was that the enemy seemed to be wearing gorgeous robes and was extremely powerful. They did not look like an ordinary army at all.

Looking at his subordinates stammering, Hongjila took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.

"I originally thought that after getting rid of Luo Ming, I could take whatever I wanted in the northwestern provinces of [Dazhen]. I didn't expect that I would be shattered after only taking half of Yongzhou!"

"It seems that the enemy's reinforcements have already set out before we captured Tianxiong Pass!"

With a sinister laugh, Hongjila spread out his five fingers, then slowly clenched them.

"Gather the scattered troops and make fists. I want to see who is on the other side!"

As soon as these words came out, Mopu, who was standing next to him, jumped.

In just a few days, he had collected several "real things" and was on the verge of financial freedom. If he called off his troops at this time, where would he find the wealth and glory for the rest of his life?

Thoughts raced, Mopu clasped his hands together and sighed with compassion.

"General, I am willing to have my people launch an offensive at all costs to help you contain the enemy."

Hearing this, Hongjila looked at him in surprise and moved.

As expected of a devout believer of Catholicism, he is truly loyal!
"But if this happens, the Master's people will probably suffer heavy casualties, and the effect will not be very good. It is better to keep him useful and contribute to the construction of the Buddhist country in the future..."

It’s such a waste to use such useful labor as cannon fodder!
But ignoring Hongjila's painstaking efforts, Mopu spoke word by word in a whisper with great determination.

"It doesn't matter. It's their honor to sacrifice for God's great cause. Even if one million or ten million people die, as long as we can play a small role, we won't hesitate!"

"........."

Hearing Master Mopu's decisive words, Hongjila hesitated to speak.

Although I am very touched, aren’t you a little too extreme?
