That night, in the command center of the temporary camp of the foreign army.
"Who can tell me what is going on?”
Pei Ji, who was sitting in the general's seat, angrily slammed the table in front of him and then berated the officials below.
"Do you know how important our mission is to the higher-ups?？Not only did you give us your best soldiers, but you even specially transferred three high-level Peril Species and two super Peril Species under our command…But what about you? Not only did we make the higher-ups completely lose their trust in us, but we also lost both our lives! What use do I have for soldiers who can't complete their mission! What's the use!"
Pei Ji said angrily as he slammed the table even harder.
The loss of this battle was too humiliating. He was clearly better equipped and stronger than the other party, but even so, he still lost cleanly. There was no room for excuses at all. He could not even bear to lose.
"Say something!"
“………………”
The military officials who were seated in two rows did not even dare to breathe loudly under Pei Ji's questioning, afraid that they would get themselves into trouble.
"General, you can't blame them all…You saw it yourself. They are indeed inferior to us, but the Crown Prince is too powerful. Even if he was alone, he could fight against thousands of soldiers. If he didn't suddenly make a move, we would have won long ago.”
The only person who dared to speak up in this situation was Pei Ji's trusted aide, Stedo, who was his adjutant.
"Nonsense! It was all nonsense! Our goal this time was to kill the crown prince of the empire, and you still blame him for taking action?! Do you think I care about winning or losing the war? As long as they could not kill the Crown Prince, even if they won the war, it would be no different from a crushing defeat!”
"Besides, didn't you see how weak he was after he killed the two super dangerous creatures? I dare say that if you hadn't run away at that time and attacked him with all your might, we would have completed our mission by now!”
Indeed, just as Pei Ji had said, Hei Yu was already mentally and physically exhausted after killing the two super dangerous creatures. At that time, even if only a few hundred people attacked Hei Yu, he would be severely injured even if he did not die, let alone sending in all his troops.
However, at the same time, under that situation, all the soldiers of the Empire had also entered a frenzied state. If they wanted to attack Hei Yu, they had to first break through their Life-Risking Attacks.
If it was in the beginning, there might be some soldiers who would attack Hei Yu without any regard for their lives. However, Pei Ji's orders that did not care about their lives at all made them feel disappointed. No one was willing to serve a general who treated their soldiers like ants. They could not be blamed for surrendering and running away for their lives.
Moreover, although everyone knew that Hei Yu was already at the end of his attack, the process of him killing the Super Peril Zergs like a god was deeply imprinted in everyone's hearts. They could not help but be afraid. After all, no one could say if Hei Yu had any other powerful trump cards that no one knew about. If he were to fail in the gutter, the gains would not make up for the losses.
In other words, no one wanted to be the one to take the lead. Once they saw someone surrender and escape, they would follow suit. In any case, they could not blame themselves for this. Their lives were more important.
"General, please be careful. I know that our main mission is to kill the Crown Prince, but the morale of the army is also very important…If this continues, we will definitely lose! If that was the case, how could he complete the mission?”
Stedor whispered into Pei Ji's ear.
Pei Ji fell silent when he heard Stedor's words. It was not that he did not understand this logic, but he just could not take it lying down.
“………………”
Just like that, the command post fell into silence.
"Oh? Looks like you guys are very distressed!"
Then, at this moment, a voice suddenly rang out. Everyone hurriedly stood up in surprise to look for the source of the voice. Then, they realized that an old woman had suddenly appeared in the center of the command center, which was between the two rows of seats on the left and right.
" When?!"
" Who are you?!"
"Guards! Guards!"
"Are you guys calling for those good-for-nothings outside? Unfortunately, they can no longer hear your voices.”
Facing the panicking crowd, the old woman who had suddenly appeared only spoke indifferently.
"Who are you? What did you do to them?"
Pei Ji asked the old woman after signaling for everyone to quieten down.
"It seems that you must be General Pei Ji of the foreign race?”
"That's right, it's me."
"That's good. I'm the person in charge of supporting you this time, Barbara Oberg from the Assassin Association. As for those people outside, I only made them faint, I didn't hurt them.”
Hearing Pei Ji's affirmative answer, the old woman calmly uttered a name that left everyone dumbfounded.
"Babla, could this Babla be referring to Lady Babla from the Assassin Association?!”
