776 Setting a Camp at Every Step (1/2)

Chapter 776 – Setting a Camp at Every Step

The Guards Legion soldiers would never be able to forget the scene in front of them for the rest of their lives.

Right in front of them, their brothers that had died in battle were all well and alive on the drill grounds. Outsiders could not possibly understand their current feelings.

The fallen Guards Legion had been miraculously revived.

”You're home, brothers!”

The soldiers on the drill grounds were unable to control their emotions, hugging one another.

Most of these brothers who rose from the dead were those that covered for their retreat. To see them once more had lessened the guilt the 5th division soldiers felt.

It also made them even more emotional and touched by the Monarch.

Regretfully, Shihu, Lei Jingtian, Shan Zhu, and Shi Bao, these four Advanced Generals, were not in the list to be revived. Ouyang Shuo did not know whether they had died or if they were captured.

Ouyang Shuo hoped that they were indeed captured.

If that was the case, at least there was still hope of them returning. If they died, then there was truly nothing Ouyang Shuo could do. Ma Teng was a historical general so Ouyang Shuo had received a System Notification when he died.

As for the other four of them, he had no information.

The spies hidden in Yongren City were going around trying to confirm the status of these four generals.

...

Whilst the Guards Legion soldiers calmed down their emotions, Ouyang Shuo announced some appointments. Lu Bu would temporarily replace Ma Teng as the Major General of the 1st division.

At the same time, the Deputy Major Generals of the 2nd and 3rd divisions would replace their Major Generals. As the 4th division deputy Major General was Shi Bao, Ouyang Shuo could only appoint a colonel.

The army did not lack generals, and this was just a makeshift.

As for the 15 thousand captured soldier shortfall, Ouyang Shuo did not fill it up with members from the Independent Division.

This position was still left for them.

Ouyang Shuo believed that even if they lacked 15 thousand troops, the Guards Legion Corps 1st legion would still be the strongest legion.

Especially after experiencing this setback, their fighting spirits had been ignited.

After adjusting the personnel arrangements, Ouyang Shuo was ready to leave the barracks but Huo Qubing stopped him.

Seeing that the Guards Legion Corps 1st legion had been revived, Huo Qubing requested to fight, ”Monarch, I am confident about taking back Dongchuan Prefecture within five days. Monarch, please allow us to take action.”

”No.” Ouyang Shuo shook his head.

”Monarch?”

Huo Qubing could not understand. From his perspective, he felt somewhat wronged like the Monarch did not trust the Guards Legion, like he did not trust this marshal.

”Let's speak here.” Ouyang Shuo turned around and left the drill grounds and move to a corner of the barracks. The following Personal Guards spread out to defend the area and prevent anyone from getting close.

Ouyang Shuo smiled and explained, ”It is not that I do not trust you. Think about it, in their eyes, the Guards Legion Corps 1st legion is unable to fight anymore. You are a wildcard that can send them to hell at a crucial moment. As for Dongchuan Prefecture, what is that? If Swordsmen City wants it, let them have it. As long as we win in the main battlefield, we can take it back easily.”

The ten day of battle involving the Guards Legion had achieved some use. They had wiped out the troops in Dongchuan and destroyed all the teleportation formations.

With that, the enemy would not be able to do anything or make any plans in Dongchuan Prefecture.

They did not move on Dongchuan Prefecture now so as to not alert the enemy. Swordsman City would not set troops and threaten the safety of Kunming Prefecture if they did not take action; it was also to numb the Yanhuang Alliance Army and Yunnan City-State to make them put down their guard.

Consequently, Ouyang Shuo had turned his sights onto Mengding and Tengyue Prefecture. As long as Baiqi's black chess piece plan succeeded, Shanhai City would have a high chance of victory.

The just revived Guards Legion Corps would play a huge part in this plan. Ouyang Shuo gave a brief introduction of the plan, making Huo Qubing's eyes light up.

In the end, his eyes were shining brightly.

Huo Qubing took in a deep breath and calmed his thoughts, ”I understand Monarch. I'll follow your arrangements.” Killing intent brewed in his eyes; its target was the Yanhuang Alliance and the alliance armies.

The next time they met, he was going to take revenge.

Ouyang Shuo felt relaxed when he saw that Huo Qubing understood. He gave a final instruction, ”The soldiers of the 1st legion have been through such a huge change after all, so I doubt they can adapt all of a sudden. As the marshal, just rest easy and stay in the camp to help them adjust. Remember, we must be at our best battle condition to welcome the toughest battle. The toughest steel must be used at the most crucial moment.”

”Yes Monarch!”

Huo Qubing bowed solemnly.

Through this incident, Huo Qubing suddenly felt that he had become closer to the Monarch. In his heart, he had the feeling that the Hanwu Emperor was in front of him.
