Chapter 694
A long speech proved that Zhu Chenggong was really thrilled!
"Hold the Iron Peak? So that is what you want?" Ye Xiao turned to him, staring at him and emphasizing the word ‘hold’ .
"Absolutely! To hold the Iron Peak . That is already a huge achievement, a great contribution," Zhu Chenggong answered like he was telling something commonsensible .
Ye Xiao shook his head . He felt awkward . "Maybe I am being to aggressive, just like you said . What I want is never just to hold Iron Peak . I want to defeat them! I even want to wipe out the entire Lan-Feng army! That is what I want . If only to hold Iron Peak, why do you need me? Why would I come?"
Zhu Chenggong was stunned . "My dear commander, it is close to impossible to just hold the Iron Peak . If you didn’t arrive in time, we would have been broken through already . However, even though you are here with the men under your lead, we are no more than two hundred thousand men . Kingdom of Lan-Feng, they have more than one million strong men here . They are a lot outnumbering us…"
"Please, commander, no rush . Like I just said, it is good that you take it aggressively, but we cannot be reckless on this . We are in a war . Do not underestimate your enemy . " Zhu Chenggong was worried .
He felt that Commander Ye was over confident on this .
[He actually wants to defeat the one million troops with less than two hundred thousand men?]
[Not just to defeat, but to destroy, to wipe out… is that a proper ambition?]
[It sounds more like a silly dream to me!]
[Or just simply seeking for death?]
Even though the invasion had given Wenren Jianyin a lesson and a sense of danger, it was just a one-time thing . There wasn’t any real damage to the Lan-Feng army . The thousands of men they lost meant nothing .
In fact, Ye Xiao had lost a lot in this . More than three thousand of their good men died in their . They had only less than two hundred thousand men in total, and Lan-Feng army had over one million . That was a big percentage to lose!
Ye Xiao looked at Vice-Commander Zhu . He really didn’t know what to say to him anymore .
[Do you think I want to hurry? Of course I know if we hold it long enough, there will be more men coming to support from other battles . My father is the best we can get if we can wait . But I don’t have much time to waste! Three months . That’s all I have here . Besides, I really need to gather some soul power now…]
[I don’t have much time!]
[I have to hurry!]
"I have decided . Vice-Commander, there is nothing more to discuss!" Ye Xiao was being tough . He was so solemn and didn’t give him chance to argue . "As a man of war, to sacrifice is our duty! If we can’t conquer land, we fail . If we can’t take back the land we lost and only keep defending ourselves, it is our shame!"
Zhu Chenggong opened his mouth but couldn’t say a word . He was ashamed .
What Ye Xiao said made him feel disgraced . He couldn’t deny it .
The land that they lost was exactly lost from his hands .
At the same time, he was a bit annoyed too . [Do you think I want to lose it?]
Ye Xiao tried to be soft . "Don’t think too much into it though, Vice-Commander Zhu . I understand how you feel . I am not judging you . However, it is our land . No matter how or why we lost it, we have a reason to fight for it . We have to take it back! We have to take the land back for our kingdom!"
"We have to take it back! Our land! Our pride! Our victory!"
Ye Xiao tapped on Zhu Chenggong’s shoulder and then casually walked out .
Zhu Chenggong stood there . His face started to be covered by glorious glow .
[That is right . ]
[We must take it back!]
[I don’t want to be a defeated general!]
[Failed and failed, so what? We will get the victory eventually!]
[My honor, pride, glory, I need them back . What to do?]
[Fight!]
[Victory!]
