Chapter 746 - Why Don't You Invite That Expert Over?
"We have not lost yet!"
Liu Mansheng's eyes glimmered with venom. "I will make them spit out the military power the same way they stripped it from us!"
***
The news of Lou Qianxue burning down the 15 food repositories despite being surrounded by one million soldiers spread throughout the Liang city like wildfire.
Everyone was shocked.
However, many people were still doubtful: Could a young girl really be so powerful?
Did Crown Prince and Zhen Guogong exaggerate the events to defeat Liu Mansheng?
Regardless of the reason, the entire Tian Zhao military rejoiced over the destruction of the Nandu Nation's food repositories!
In contrast, the Nandu Nation military camp was devastated.
"What? One million of you couldn't even capture a young girl despite using a fourth-grade defense inscription, a fourth-grade Spirit Item like Crow Feather Bow, and a fifth-grade Encampment Inscription? Not only did you let her burn down 15 food repositories, but you also lost 28,000 soldiers? Are you guys joking?"
A shocked voice rang throughout the military camp.
"Young Master Xia, please watch your mouth. This is not your Qingshui Villa!"
A middle-aged man scowled and glared at the youth, who had yelled those words in shock. "That woman was too powerful. None of us were a match for her. More than half of the experts guarding the food repositories either died or got hurt!"
"Ha! All of you northern experts are just too weak! If the experts from the south were present… the outcome would have surely been different!"
"That's right!" A few elderly men unanimously nodded.
"…" The experts from the north turned red with rage. "A while ago, a Heavenly Martial Realm expert emerged in the Martial Arts Competition held in the north! The quality of elites in this year's Martial Arts Competition was even more outstanding than last year's!"
"Tsk, so what?" Xia Qingyun scoffed. "Haven't you heard that a representative from our Qingshui Villa defeated a Heavenly Martial Realm expert in the Southern Martial Arts Competition?"
The southern faction, which consisted of Gu Xian Palace, Mo Xiu Sect, and Tian Yuan Sect, nodded one after another. "Indeed, Miss Lou in our Southern Martial Arts Competition could easily defeat a Heavenly Martial Realm expert…"
"That's why! The conclusion is that the experts from the north are useless! We, the southern experts, should be the ones responsible for important matters such as guarding the food repositories! Luckily, we have a batch of military supplies in Red Soil City. Otherwise, we might as well have given up on fighting this war!"
"You… Since you brag about her so much, why don't you invite that expert and defeat the Tian Zhao army?"
"Tsk, why would an expert like Miss Lou join an insignificant battle such as this… if she came, all of you northern experts would have been redundant!"
The northern and southern factions quarreled non-stop.
The supreme commander of the Nandu Nation army, who was already in a terrible mood, became even more irritated.
Thump!
He slammed his fist on the table. "Everyone, shut up!
Swish!
Silence filled the entire place.
All of them looked at the forbidding commander, whose face was contorted with anger, and fell silent.
"Now is not the time and place for you to be quarreling about whether the north or the south is more powerful! A million soldiers and experts from the north were fooled by a young girl! If news of this spreads out, the dignity of our Nandu Nation's one-million-strong military would be trampled on!"
Everyone's expression instantly turned grave.
"Last night, we lost so badly because all of our Heavenly Martial Realm experts were in the Red Soil City!
"Now! Put aside all your grievances! We have to win this war! And we must capture that b*tch and tear her into pieces! That's the only way to cleanse the humiliation we went through and for me to vent my wrath!"
