Chapter 179: Chapter 179: The Military Finally Softened

After the battle had fully erupted, command over minor details became useless; they all relied on routine training and preparation.

Some soldiers were still making adjustments, but it could only have a slight impact.

A wounded Beastman was immediately ordered to retreat by the soldiers, and then others took his place.

"We saved another one, but this way, things will only get more troublesome," a soldier glanced at the recently rescued Beastman Soldier, wiped the cold sweat, and felt completely helpless.

They could only conserve the forces they had and use the soldiers repeatedly after they had recovered.

The death of a single one was a huge loss. Recruiting forces required resources, not just food but also metals and some Gold Coin, among other things.

Now, the biggest problem was that they had always been trapped in this place and simply couldn’t access many resources.

Although it had always been the development of only two territories, the scarcity of their resources had worsened over a long time.

"If only the forest below hadn’t been occupied."

Some soldiers looked helplessly toward the direction of the highland below. If that place hadn’t been occupied by Fang Jie, if it had been theirs, they could have completely leveraged the resources from here to develop.

Perhaps, they could have even stopped the Trolls there, but now they couldn’t do anything.

Thus, they had indeed received a lot of help from Fang Jie’s hands. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have even been able to achieve what they had now.

Therefore, the soldiers didn’t have too many complaints against Fang Jie; rather, many were thankful. However, many could also see that this situation was unsustainable.

Ultimately, the reason was somewhat related to Fang Jie, but they couldn’t blame him.

"Not good." Suddenly, one soldier noticed an opening appeared in front, and in an emergency, he had to fill in and combat the external Trolls with other soldiers.

But this jump into the fray meant his life was no longer in his control.

At this moment, many made the same choice he did.

From the high platform, Li Mingshu, seeing this scene, cursed angrily, but there was nothing he could do. All he could do was watch helplessly; what else was there to do, could he charge forward as well? It would be no use.

On the contrary, if he charged forward, it would even lead more people to follow.

"Cavalry, take the front, rescue everyone." It wasn’t the time to ponder too much. Watching his comrades fall one by one, Li Mingshu finally let go of his resolve.

He made a decision, so no matter what, he needed to get everyone rescued first.

With the addition of the Bronze Cavalry Corps, the pressure of the battle decreased instantly.

But everyone knew that this wasn’t a good sign since these were their trump card troops. The battle continued until noon, and the Trolls, satisfied with their Corpse-filled retreat, withdrew.

Watching the report, Li Mingshu’s hands trembled, because of the major loss of soldiers.

Those were soldiers he brought with him. At this moment, he only had just over five hundred men left. The battle last night, along with today’s, had suddenly cost him over a hundred and fifty men.

Given this rate of attrition, the next time, or the time after, may wipe out all the men he had brought.

"The tally is out, the Trolls lost thirty thousand, but we also lost twenty thousand."

"Another twenty thousand gone. At this rate, it won’t take long before all are lost."

The intelligence officer, with a look of despair, said, "But our Bronze Cavalry Corps has collapsed, too many of the Black Iron Species lost. Next time, we might lose over fifty thousand in such a battle."

We are indeed running out of men to fight.

The individual strength of those Trolls was just too strong. Each of them was much more powerful than our standard troops. Moreover, there werestrong individuals among their ranks, just few had taken action.

Once they took action, he definitely couldn’t hold them back. That was the key.

The Trolls continued to gather, their numbers increasingly overwhelming.

"I know, it’s enough, holding out till now has already been enough. Now, it’s time we find a new support," everyone knew what Li Mingshu was referring to.

Just as he was about to speak, Li Mingshu gestured with his hand: "It’s enough, I’ve known this day would come, everyone was prepared, weren’t they?"

Then, Li Mingshu, with a somewhat desolate figure, slowly disappeared inside the Lord Mansion.

That day, suddenly Fang Jie received a call from Li Mingshu, a smile tugging at his lips, they were finally unable to hold on.

"Lieutenant Colonel Li, what brings you to contact me so suddenly?"

Li Mingshu was straightforward: "I’m here for aid, our North has been steadily compressed by the Trolls, we can hardly hold on anymore."

"Help is possible, but what do I get out of it? I can’t just squander my troops for nothing," he thought to himself. His troops were easy to come by, but not without cost, and he always felt like there weren’t enough Corpses.

Of course, Fang Jie lacked high-level goods, not low-level ones.

"We’ve decided to fully join you. After all, we are professionals at waging war, and we do have some utility."

Fang Jie’s smile couldn’t be suppressed, how much utility? Just from the perspective of discipline, no one in this world could compare to them. At last, he too could have a reliable force.

And through this period of battle, these soldiers had been tempered, making them tougher and more suited for this world.

Fang Jie didn’t bother asking about how they would guarantee loyalty. Their offer to submit was telling enough.

"Good, I agree. Drop the defenses at Flower Plateau’s Three-bend Bridge, my forces will move out immediately."

"I will wait here for you, once you arrive, all the territory will be yours."

By giving all the territory to Fang Jie, they were leaving themselves no way out.

"Being able to wage war against native forces and conquer Flower Plateau, such power is worth our submission." It’s a pity their organization was no more, otherwise they would never have joined another.

Li Mingshu removed his cap, feeling a pang of melancholy, unable to recover for a long while.

The channel defenses opened up, and a huge mass of Skeleton Soldiers moved from below up to the surface. A vast expanse of grey-white that was already quite spectacular, seemed even more so now.

After Cosette appeared with a few Gold Level Blood Servants, those who were still discontent fell utterly silent.

"Gold Level troops too, how did he achieve this?" Not many knew that Fang Jie had Gold Level Troops, such news hadn’t yet appeared in the discussion area.
