In the end, out of the 120,000 soldiers that re’s middle army after the first battle, the casualty count numbered over 50,000 The people who escaped were less than 7,000, with the re taken as prisoners of war!

However, even as the victor, the nu Family were almost equivalent to the Xiao Family Naturally, to accomplish the entire task in one fell swoop, the price one needed to pay could be iined The deceased included 5,000 Blood Iron Warriors and Wang Han who Ling Tian had left behind! Out of the 24,000 cavalry, more than 5,000 died, and the injured were not even in the statistics!

The huge price paid this time h they won the battle!

A Pyrrhic victory, not just in na Tian had been reborn in this world that he had lost so terribly!

Wang Han and coinally should not have died, for they were all bedridden due to their previous wounds However, upon realizing that the situation was not in the Ling Family’s favor, they had borne with their injuries and rushed out to hold the fort on one side, gaining precious ti LiGe’s troops to rush over The price was that all 5,000 of theenerals within the 5,000 strong Blood Iron Warriors, only Wang Han’s corpse could still be barely recognized The rest had been muddled in with the ether, no longer able to be told apart

Upon receiving the news, Ling Tian sighed to hi time

This could actually be considered the first battle towards stepping on the stage of world domination However, it was just this one battle, and he had already lost five ood people! One of them was even one of the three leaders of the Blood Iron Warriors! How much blood of his brothers would he have to spill further down the road?!

Ling Tian was never stingy about money, power, or wealth But he hoarded his personal subordinates, his brothers-in-arold!

Even after successfully destroying the ancient unbreakable ravine pass, and even achieving victory twice in a row, he was supposed to be ecstatic and jubilant But he re… it’s all my fault! I should have been the one to request to stay in Sobbing Ghost Pass…&8221; Feng Mo and the rest pounced on the corpses of their fellow brothers, bursting into tears Feng Mo and Wang Han had been together ever since Ling Xiao assumed command, and they had taken care of each other for almost two decades! Twenty years of brotherhood, hoas it a s? To be best buddies for the past twenty years, then suddenly see his closest friend ice-cold just like that, notwould one experience?

If it was possible, Feng Mo would rather have traded his life for Wang Han’s, than to accept the fact that his good brother would never wake up ever again!

And for Ling Tian, even with two lifetimes, he never had this sort of experience before But he, above everyone else, understood the sincerity behind this feeling, and how valuable it was! He could also eret, and anger!

The cold autumn wind blew, and heaven and earth shared the pain of the people Everyone on the battlefield quietly stood up one after another, saying their final farewells to their brothers lying there Even those grievously injured, or with broken li to stand up straight, looking at their brothers one last time!

Countless corpses lay neatly in roith the blood on so a few steps forward and gazing at the huge ar at attention His eyes brimmed with tears and his voice tre Tian! Today we have won, obtained a complete victory! But so many of our dearest brothers have also left us because of this victory In ony ason the ground are also the brothers ofto spout any hypocritical bullsht, like I would rather not have this victory just to see all of them happy and well, this would just make me a hypocritical bastard who steps on and profanes the sacrifice of our brothers!&8221; Under the urging of his internal energy, his voice traveled far and wide, clearly heard

Fro

"It’s just that, when I see all our brothers who have passed on, I suddenly feel a sort of pride! That’s right, pride! Sincere pride!&8221; Ling Tian’s voice took on an inspiring tone "Our dead brothers, every one of them died from injuries to the chest, frohtning, stared at everyone in front of him

"This ed bravely and ! They are all true warriors! And this alsoafter the backs of their own partners!&8221; Ling Tian screaround as he hollered, "Do you see that! These are OUR BROTHERS! To protect their brothers, they would not hesitate to sacrifice their lives! With such good brothers, what do we have to be afraid of? We can safely entrust our backs to them! All those soldiers who sacrificed themselves died so that the rest of their brothers could continue living! I’m proud of that! Because they have succeeded! I’m also proud of all of you because all your brothers are role models! They are all people that will always have your back, life and death, BROTHERS!&8221;

The choking sounds had gradually turned to sniffing as tears dripped down ceaselessly

"Now I announce, let us bring our brothers, our unyielding heroic spirit, back to Sky Bearing!&8221; Ling Tian had a burning gaze "Our lives have been exchanged through the sacrifice of our brothers! We have to put in our utmost effort to take care of all the families of our brothers who have died in battle so that our partners in the underworld will be able to rest in peace! Also, we have to bring their final wishes, their heroic spirit, to war against the world, clinching victory after victory, to reassure the!&8221;

"Their heroic spirit will live on! Brothers, rest in peace!&8221;

"Their heroic spirit will live on! Brothers, rest in peace!&8221;

Tens of thousands of soldiers hollered at the top of their voices in one go All of the down their faces

Alance at the nu Tian and returning first to Sky Bearing While they won this war, they had after all sacrificed sowould be in a depressedTian would thus definitely not choose such a ti, where there’s war, there will be sacrifice Having one person or ten thousand dead, it’s still a death This has just begun, and there will be bigger stages for us in the future After you return to Sky Bearing, you have to begin to prepare in consideration for the bigger picture We can afford to be sad when people die, but we cannot be dragged down by it Re his horse Before he left, Ling Tian added, "This time, for the soldiers who died on the battlefield, the family will be compensated three times the usual a Faave the co LiGe’s body shuddered for a bit, as he stared at Ling Tian with a cohed in the end, and with a bitter s with him was half of the surrendered Xiao soldiers as well as the Second Master of the Xiao Fa LiGe gave such a look This hile sudden, was after all one fought with the Xiao Family, and they had even captured the Second Master as a prisoner Furtherood 1,500 kilo with the Xiao Family’s protective screen which was the Heavenly Water Ravine pass While Sky Bearing was suffused in a depressing atmosphere, it would soon pass However, for the Xiao Fae of the Ling Family’s finances was the only princess of the Xiao Fahter of the Xiao Fa to worry about such a co about being in Ling Tian’s shoes

He could only wish hisTian looked at Yu YanHai, before warreeted, "Uncle Yu, it’s been hard on you this time&8221;

Yu YanHan let out a s Noble addressout orders, compared to those brothers in arms who died in the war for us,Tian could not help but laugh This General Yu ell known for loving his soldiers as though they were his children, and furtherh, just like Lao Fu Zi ¹ , cutting an extremely distinct line between superior and subordinates He was initially aXiao, and hence could accept it when Ling Tian called hied hands, Yu YanHan was now under them, thus his eccentric behavior flared up and would not allow Ling Tian to address hiainst his attitude, and in fact was extremely impressed with him

"Haha, since that’s the case, then hear htened his face

"Old ether, his face stern

"I coanize the troops present and repair the Sobbing Ghost Pass In addition, gather all the soldiers and horses from the nearby three cities, and command them to proceed towards the East The moment the flood from the Blue Jade River decreases, you have to seize control of the Heavenly Water Ravine pass before the Xiao family does so! There can be no mistakes!&8221;
