C500 Be honest with you

Although Wu Gang had a lot of thoughts and looked hesitant, he was not a hesitant person. When he made a certain decision, he would give it his all and not retreat at all.

Since he had already decided to send out troops from the Blood Illusion Valley, then there was nothing left to consider, because his path of retreat had already been completely blocked. If he did not choose to send out troops, then in a few days, his head would probably be presented to the Duke.

On one side, there was no chance of survival. On the other hand, even a fool would want to live, and Wu Gang was not a fool. Not only did he want to live, he even wanted to live well!

If one wanted to obtain a higher position because he or she would not be treated as an ordinary person and would be abandoned at any time and place, then one must have a certain amount of bargaining power in order to ensure one's own safety. At the same time, one must display a certain amount of strength in order to let others know how useful one was.

Ever since Wu Gang and Fan Tian met a few days ago, the two of them had never interacted. As if they were two strangers, even if they met, they would not greet each other.

However, both of them knew in their hearts that their cooperation was still continuing and their plans were progressing smoothly. This could also be considered an tacit understanding between them.

Wu Gang led a team of a few hundred people through the mountains. After a few days of travel, they finally arrived at the same place as the large troop under his command.

Wu Gang stood on the podium, looking at the large black mass of people below the stage, the Five Flavors Bottle in his heart seemed to have instantly shattered, it truly did not have a comfortable feeling.

Because Wu Gang knew that it would be easy for him to bring these people out, but it would be very difficult for them to return safely. He might have other places to seek refuge, but what about these people? Who were they going to rely on? Perhaps all that awaited them were butcher knives and fleeing for their lives?

Thinking about that, Wu Gang subconsciously looked at Fan Tian He who was below him, and wondered if there was a possibility that the other party could also accept all of these soldiers in their midst.

"Looks like I can only resign myself to fate. I hope that I have enough bargaining chips in my hands, otherwise ? It's so hard! " Wu Gang couldn't help but think in his heart.

Now that he thought about it, wasn't it asking for trouble to accept so many people from a gang of gangs? At that time, Surveillance Council only needed to think a little, and then he would be able to complete the final cleaning.

The more Wu Gang thought about it, the more annoyed he became, so he could only watch from the sidelines. After all, these people had followed his soldiers for many years.

After a long while, Wu Gang adjusted his mood, and said to the tens of thousands of soldiers below the stage:

"The reason I came here to rush you is not because I want to meet you, nor is it because I want to test your success in your recent training!"

"The so-called 'I need to raise the troops for a short period of time', the training you guys put your lives on the line everyday is not useless. From today onwards, I will bring you on a journey to show off my ambitions and let the world know of your existence!"

"I have received orders from my superior, I need to make a long-distance raid, and I need to complete a long-distance sneak attack!" Are you all confident? "

"Yes!"

"I know that you are feeling uneasy and confused! There were even some who resisted! I have these too! After all, we have stayed here for many years, and we cannot live a normal life, nor can we get married and have children! "

"But you have to remember, you are not just ordinary people. You are soldiers, soldiers who have dedicated the best years of your life to the Empire!"

"..." Hearing Wu Gang's words, everyone turned silent, a look of reminiscence and loss flashed past their eyes. As members of the Northern Army, they had heard these words many times, and it sounded like their blood was boiling hot at the time.

"That's right, you were once the pride of the Empire, of the entire army, and of me as well." You will fight for the Empire, and you will have no regrets! But now, you are nothing, and this pride has left you! That includes me! " Wu Gang paused, and for a moment, he was at a loss as well.

Although many years had already passed, Wu Gang still habitually said those words. In other words, they were still soldiers. In other words, they were the private army that was waiting to rebel against the Empire's army. It was a disgrace to the Empire's soldiers.

"General, we all followed you on this path back then. We've never regretted it before, and we won't regret it now either!" Give the order! Although we are no longer fighting for the Empire, we still have no regrets! " A high ranking officer stood up and said with a loud and clear voice as he knelt on one knee.

After the leader had walked out, the other generals followed suit and knelt down as well. The soldiers of the three armies began to follow suit as well, as tens of thousands of soldiers began to shout loudly, "General, please give the order! We will die with no regrets!"

"You are forever the pride of I, Wu Gang! But I don't want to lie to you! I don't want to hide it from you! Because you two are my brothers! "

"This time our target is a group called Blood Illusion Valley, they are completely different from the enemies on the battlefield. Even if it's me, I can't guarantee your life!"

"Moreover, regardless of victory or defeat, we will still face the test of life and death!"

"Will the Prince send troops to assist us?" Another high-ranking officer asked in confusion.

"I'm afraid I will have to disappoint you! Once we act, we will become a lone army! "No reinforcements, no supplies, and even where to run to, we still have to think about all these as we run!"

"Then why did you choose to make a move now?" The other high-ranking officer asked.

"If we do not choose to fight now, we will run out of food for the next few months, until we starve to death!"

"What about the other branches?" The high-ranking officer continued to ask.

"Although they are my subordinates in name! However, in actuality, they were the direct descendant of the prince! Their supplies were already in place, and I was the one who went to provide support for them. This time, it was for our few months of supply of silver, but regretfully, it was stolen away by the Blood Illusion Valley, and our mission was to snatch the silver back! That is why this battle will be our fight to the death! "

"We have no way out!" If we don't snatch it back, we will face the possibility of starving to death. If we send out troops to fight for it, you and I will both face a battle of life and death! Maybe we will completely leave the stage of history, or maybe we will escape for our lives! "

"Facing such a situation! Are you still here with me? "

"..." No one below the stage spoke, everyone maintained their silence, they did not know how to answer Wu Gang's question.

In this situation, what should they choose? If they fought, they would die. Even if they didn't fight, they would still die! This was not about choosing life and death, but choosing how to die!

However, as a soldier, would they choose to starve to death? The answer was obviously no. They would rather die in battle than starve to death in their homes.

"General, does that mean we have been abandoned by the prince?" A few generals looked at each other, then an older man stood out and asked Wu Gang.

"I don't want to say no, but I won't say yes!" Wu Gang secretly sighed and replied.

In front of the entire army, how could he brazenly accuse the prince of being a person? One had to know that there was a high probability that the prince had spies and spies in the army! If they were to be dealt with too early, it would cause Wu Gang and Fan Tian He's plans to become more passive. There might even be a possibility that the King would rush into battle and ask the imperial government to lead an army to encircle and annihilate them. At that time, their troubles would become even greater!

"What does the general mean?" The senior general continued to ask.

"Fight!"

"And then?"

"I'll take you all and escape to heaven!"

"Is the general sure?"

"Yes!"

"What percentage?"

"Fifty percent!"

"Even if the battle starts, we need supplies. The supplies now can't even support us in long-range battles!"

"Don't worry, I've contacted a friend to help us supply along the way!" "Although it's not a lot, it should be enough for emergency response!"

"Which road should we choose as our route?"

"Blood Jade Valley!"

"? ?." General, that is a dead zone where not a single blade of grass grows! "

"We are an army of tens of thousands. If we don't choose that place, we won't be able to reach our destination! We can only reach our destination if we go through the Blood Jade Valley s, and it will also avoid the city guards' route to the greatest extent! "

"The general has a plan?"

"The battlefield is ever-changing. I don't dare to say that I already have an overall plan, but the plan and ideas are basically taking shape. I might have to deal with the other moves as and when I see them!"

"I'm not young anymore, so I'll just die. I hope the general's plan can bring more people out and let them live on as long as possible!" They are still young! For this, this old man is willing to be the vanguard! "

"Although I can't promise to let every single one of my officers survive on the battlefield, I can guarantee that as long as I have the chance, I won't give up on any of them!" Even if I am unable to defeat them in the end, I will still accompany them on the road! "

"With the general's words, I am relieved!" "What about you?"

"I will follow you through life and death without any regrets!"

"Alright, then we'll swear to go out to battle today! Someone, prepare the banner! "

"Yes sir!"

Sacrifice? His words stunned all the officers present. They were no longer part of the imperial army. Although everything was still being done according to the imperial government, it would at most be considered a besieging task to deal with a gang in the martial arts world.

The worst thing was, the military needed to count the grains of rice to make the pot. Where could they get the pig, cow, and sun tribute to swear their oaths to the master's banner?

Just when everyone was puzzled, they heard a small area below the stage fall into chaos! Wu Gang's janissaries led a group of people to throw Shi Haowen onto the ground, then quickly tied him up tightly.

The Duke Palaces guards were all dumbstruck. They wanted to stop Shi Haowen quickly, but were stopped by Fan Tian, who was at the side. Just like this, a group of people looked like they were watching a crowd, watching Shi Haowen being tied up like a dumpling.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Shi Haowen ran off like a pig towards the altar. No matter how he struggled, it was useless!
