Everyone split into three groups. Ye Ying and Zhou Xuan sat in the mercenary group and guarded the position. Chang Ling was about to reach the battlefield where the two sides were exchanging fire, and Shan Yue had done something that no one expected: infiltrate Jiang Huai’s nest.
Boom! As a cannonball exploded in front of Cang Xin’s headquarters, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and flames flew wantonly. The hellish scene of the event location appeared in front of everyone’s eyes.
Countless sounds of fighting and shouting echoed in everyone’s ears. No one liked war, but for the sake of their family and home, they had no choice but to face it.
As the door was suddenly pushed open, Captain Gong walked in covered in bruises and blood. It was obvious that the battle was very tragic. When Cang Xin saw this scene, an unprecedented fear rushed into her heart.
“Captain Gong, how are your injuries? Can you continue?” Cang Xin hurriedly asked, “What’s the situation outside? Can our brothers withstand Jiang Huai’s attack?”
“Sect Master Cang, I can still hold on here. A lot of the blood on my body is not my own. It was shed by the other captains to protect me. I will never forget the lives of those captains in my life.”
Captain Gong’s eyes were filled with regret and helplessness. “Because the other party attacked in the night. Our brothers didn’t have time to react at all. His people even blasted open the door with a suicide attack. Everyone definitely won’t be able to withstand it. It’s only a matter of time before Jiang Huai’s army attacks us.”
“How could this be…” As soon as Captain Gong finished speaking, Cang Xin took a few steps back shakily and fell into a chair. She still could not believe what was happening.
“Even if we didn’t have time to make preparations and were caught off guard, we shouldn’t be in such a sorry state, right? How many of us are there, and how many are there in Jiang Huai? Under the disparity of absolute strength, how could he defeat me?”
Cang Xin still didn’t believe this. How could she not be able to deal with a Jiang Huai who didn’t want to fight? Wouldn’t everyone in the world laugh their heads off?
“Sect Master, that was all an illusion made by Jiang Huai for us to see. There were indeed not many people who attacked Ye Ying during the day, but now, the number of people gathered outside the military camp has far exceeded all our brothers. They even have more weapons and ammunition than us.”
Captain Gong told Cang Xin about the situation outside. “I came back to escort you out of here quickly. Where there’s life, there’s hope. As long as you’re fine, we still have a chance to make a comeback if we leave from the small path now. If you become a ghost under Jiang Huai’s gun, we’ll really lose completely.” “No!” Cang Xin gave her answer without hesitation. Be it her eyes or her tone, they were very firm.
“But—”
“Alright, stop talking. I’ve already made a decision.” Before Captain Gong could finish speaking, Cang Xin immediately interrupted him. Her unyielding attitude could not be violated at all. “I’m the leader of a regiment. When facing life and death, I should face it with everyone. If 1 run away when it’s more dangerous, how can 1 face everyone who believes in me?”
As Cang Xin spoke, she changed her equipment, guns, ammunition, and full armor. She was prepared to enter the battlefield and fight to the death with everyone.
At this point, Captain Gong did not say anything else. In that case, he would also live and die with the regiment.
Just as Cang Xin packed everything and was about to go out to face the enemy, she suddenly thought of something and immediately returned to the table to pick up a piece of paper and a pen. She quickly wrote two lines on it.
“Your bright pearls with two rows of tears I’m returning, instead. I only lament that we had never met before I wed.”
These words represented her feelings for Ye Ying and her beliefs. Ye Ying’s name was written at the beginning. When she wrote her name. Cang Xin placed this piece of paper on her desk. If she had unfortunately died in the battle with Jiang Huai, then this wish of hers wouldn’t have become an unknown secret.
At this moment, Captain Gong suddenly said something.. “Sect Master, do you think Sect Master Ye will send troops to help us after such a huge commotion?”
