Chapter 1072: Chapter 278: An Unworthy Victory

"Those Mulan soldiers did not surrender today, General Reyes! They still had knives in their hands!" Liu was shocked as he picked a pomelo from the fruit platter and tossed it to the tender-hearted General Fawkes, "Think more about the despicable deeds these Mulan bandits have done in our Bimon Kingdom, and you’ll be as ruthless as I am. The enemy won’t spare our compatriots because of your mercy. Is this your first time on the battlefield?"

"Yes." General Fawkes’ face instantly turned the same color as his tail. He had been sent by his family to earn his spurs this time.

"What is a battlefield?" Liu was shocked as he looked at the promising young graduate of the kingdom’s military academy, his lips curling into a cold smile, "The battlefield turns men into beasts. If you can’t do it, sooner or later you’ll die in the desert. Reyes, take my sincere advice, read less of those knight novels. When you step into the land of other races, what will you do if their children, women, and elderly take up arms against you? Do you think they will accept you just because of your impeccable military discipline and broad-mindedness? Bullshit! Since we are just passing through, let’s clearly define our position first!"

General Reyes straightened his back awkwardly and listened nervously to the Chief Shaman’s lecture.

"General, do you still remember what our purpose is for coming here?" Liu continued his harsh sermon, "Right, to rescue the princess! Of course, the kingdom may have other motives, but what about us?"

"We should have our own honor." General Reyes replied, a bit defiantly, "Casualties are always unavoidable in war, but always harboring a heart for slaughter is contrary to the spirit of a knight."

"Is there any meaning to war? No war is meaningful! Our mission is to kill or be killed." Liu shook his head, knowing that he couldn’t reason with the young man, and said, "We have no other choice."

"I think, with your attitude, you might develop a tendency in the future, perhaps even sleeping with a dagger in hand. If your family members carelessly approach you, you might mistake them for enemies and kill them." General Reyes looked at Liu with eyes full of fear, shaking his head continuously, "That’s too terrifying... too terrifying..."

"I told you to read less of those pointless knight novels." Liu chuckled dryly, "Is that even possible? That’s ridiculous! On the battlefield, it’s either you die or I die. It’s that simple. Where did all these nonsensical theories come from?"

"Then, Your Highness, how did you train your followers? Purely based on slaughter?" General Reyes rolled his eyes.

"Don’t forget the belief in justice. My followers carry both the olive branch and the swords of free fighters. Please, never let the olive branch slip from our hands," Liu added.

"May I ask where did Your Highness summon so many warriors from today?" This question had been on General Reyes’ mind for a long time, and now he finally had a chance to ask, "Your Highness, those brave and fierce Tauren under your command, are they Golden Ring Warriors?"

"They are not Antelope Warriors, but Minotaurs from another continent." Liu laughed it off, "My rank as a Mage isn’t bad. I can teleport a group of warriors from Feilingdai all at once, but preparing this teleportation spell takes a very long time and is quite troublesome."

"I see." General Reyes nodded, "Your Highness’ aerial troops are truly formidable."

"Just average." Liu laughed himself to death. Without the five Sky Knights, each carrying five hundred Antelope Warriors with Space Rings, launching an attack from behind the Mulan soldiers today, the Turun Alliance would not have so easily breached the earthen wall.

Twenty Orephin Alliance captains and two Fawkes Alliance captains entered the commander’s tent. They saluted the Chief Shaman first and then saluted General Reyes.

"How are the casualties?" Liu asked with concern.

"One hundred and twenty-four warriors have died, and three hundred and fifty-two are injured. Your Highness’ priests and Elves priests are helping to heal our wounded," the two Fawkes Alliance captains reported eagerly, "The Turun Alliance’s fighting strength is still very intact."

"The achievements are truly glorious!" General Reyes smiled and nodded, "The enemy was not just the four thousand reported by the Elves Sky Knights, there were as many as six thousand! We defeated an enemy three times our size!"

"It’s that the enemy panicked when they were attacked from both sides. The formation of the regular army was broken by the slaves. Such a fight is almost one-sided. If it were three thousand regular soldiers defending the wall, our casualties would have soared. Their swordsmanship is very powerful, and their weapons are outstanding. In terms of individual combat strength, not even two of our Beamon warriors could defeat one desert soldier," one Orephin squad captain was not so optimistic.

"Today it was mainly because there were many War Song Halos blessed by the priests, and the enemy’s cavalry couldn’t split our infantry. The enemy our foot soldiers faced was just over two thousand beyond the earthen wall. And then there was our overwhelming meteor shower!" Another Orephin squad captain exaggerated with his gestures, excitedly taking over the conversation, "Richard Your Highness! You are incredible! Without your Mages, without your Cavalry, our warriors would have been swept away by the enemy’s Camel Cavalry, and with magic, we would definitely have all been slain!"
