“That’s enough. Don’t say another word. I’ve already made it clear to you that it’s absolutely impossible.”
Under Ye Ying’s strong pressure, the steward shut his mouth. After all, with his status and ability, he was not qualified to challenge Ye Ying head-on.
However, his thoughts were still too simple. What Ye Ying said was indeed the truth. Duo Feng had never thought of leaving anyone behind from the beginning, including Elder Qi, who had already betrayed them.
If it was any other day, he would have been dealt with on the spot if he said such words that shook the morale of the army. However, the situation in the group was already unprecedentedly bad. If Ye Ying did this, it would really collapse on its own.
After this thought was rejected, everyone fell silent again.
Finally, Ye Ying couldn’t take it anymore. If this continued, it would only be a waste of time. Instead of staying silent here, he might as well do what he could first. He stood up and faced the crowd, raising his voice.
“All departments, inform everyone to enter the first-level alert state during wartime. Arrange for patrols and sentries with the remaining strength to build fortifications at the city gate. Without high-tech weapons, we can use the most primitive method, stone throwing, fire burning, and wooden chariots. As long as we work together, we can definitely overcome this crisis.”
Ye Ying leaned back on the chair and heaved a long sigh of relief. He stabilized everyone and put all the pressure on himself. “The people below can panic, but we can’t. Otherwise, there won’t be a leader.”
“But what should we do now? In the end, these are just stalling tactics to deceive the people below. Are we really going to use these ancient methods to deal with Duo Feng’s second attack? Isn’t that equivalent to asking for trouble?”
Elder Qiao knew the situation the regiment was facing very well. He exposed the current situation with one sentence. “Boss Ye, can you tell me the truth? Is there a solution in your heart so that I can have an idea.”
“I’ll be honest, no.” Ye Ying waved his hand and smiled helplessly. “The moment the signal tower was blown up, 1 quickly sent the message asking for help. Although it showed that it had been sent, I don’t know if the other party received it.”
“A distress message?” A glint flashed across Elder Qiao’s eyes, as if he had seen the last hope. “You mean that there might still be someone who will save us?”
Although Ye Ying had already said that he was not sure if the news had been sent out, this hope was better than waiting for death in the dark. At least they could have some hope in their hearts.
“I can only say that these are all unknown. I can’t say for sure. If Shan Yue and Chang Ling receive my distress message, they will definitely come to save me. However, if the signal isn’t good and it wasn’t sent out, we can only rely on ourselves.”
Ye Ying was very realistic. He didn’t have time to have any more beautiful fantasies. “To be honest, even if they received the news, I can’t imagine how they should resolve such a situation. Are they really going to rely on the dozens of people around them to challenge an army of ten thousand people?”
In that case, Ye Ying hoped that the two of them hadn’t received the news. That way, they wouldn’t have to risk their lives. At least after he died, there would still be people in this world who remembered him.
“If they didn’t receive the news, then we…” Elder Qiao paused. What he said next was really difficult to say, but he was still unwilling to face it. However, this did not mean that he was a coward. He cared more about the women and children in the regiment and the soldiers who had died in vain.
“But we can’t let the people of Country H look down on us, we’ll fight to the death until the last moment, until all our blood is lost.”
Ye Ying immediately gave his answer. No matter when, where, or what happened, it was always impossible to raise the flag and surrender to the enemy..
