She was even more clear that with such solid qualifications in the Imperial Guard Army, no matter when they were promoted in the future, no one would be able to ignore her, Mu Yulian. As long as they thought of her, Mu Yulian's achievements, no one would dare to say anything!
But she also knew who was the reason behind her achievements!
Mu Yulian slowly turned to look at Miao Yi with a complicated look in her eyes. She didn't know what to say. If it weren't for this person's decisive move at the last moment, the Blue Tiger Flag Division might not have been able to escape the danger of being completely wiped out. It was such a miraculous turn of events, and everyone found it hard to believe.
Now that she thought about it, from the very beginning, this commander's steady command had saved everyone's lives.
At that critical moment, he decisively gave the order to attack first and killed most of the enemy's archers. This was the key to everything that happened afterwards. Without that, they wouldn't have won today.
Then, in the face of another crisis, the mayor once again decisively formed a 'suicide squad' and took the lead to lead a hundred warriors to take the initiative to attack. They killed the enemy's commander in one fell swoop, causing the enemy to be leaderless and undisciplined. Then, they broke through the enemy's army and caused chaos in the enemy's army.
When faced with another crisis, it was this commander who decisively gave the order to Blue Tiger Flag Division to give up on defense and attack first, regardless of the cost. This slowed down the enemy's attempts to seize the Transcendence Bows.
When faced with endless danger, it was this commander who decisively gave up his last chance to win and buried the Transcendence Bows, completely destroying the enemy's hopes of seizing the Transcendence Bows.
Then, when the situation was already set in stone, he turned the tide with his decisive move. All is fair in war!
Thinking about all these things, Mu Yulian understood that if it weren't for the commander personally supervising the battle and holding the fort, Blue Tiger Flag would have lost this battle!
Mu Yulian looked at Miao Yi and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. As the commander, she couldn't help but admit her inferiority when it came to commanding at such a critical moment. She thought back to when she first arrived at Black Tiger Flag Division and met this famous Niu Youde. She was a little unconvinced, but in the end, she was forced to bow down to him.
Now that she thought about it … His reputation was well-deserved. Her loss was not unjust at all.
At this moment, she could be said to be completely convinced by the Mayor.
The group of Colorful Lotus cultivators looked at Miao Yi with admiration in their eyes.
Miao Yi watched as the densely packed figures disappeared into the starry sky. Then, he heaved a sigh of relief and took a quick look around. It was estimated that nearly half of the enemy's one million soldiers had escaped. In other words, they had killed almost half of the enemy's army!
Miao Yi snapped out of his daze and turned around to look at the crowd. He couldn't help but smile. The joy of surviving a disaster was understandable, and it was worth cheering for them. After all, they had survived!
But he couldn't bring himself to be happy at all. Originally, there were more than 50,000 people, but looking at these battered and exhausted people who seemed to have crawled out of a pool of blood, how many were left? He estimated that there were only about ten thousand people. In other words, in this battle, the casualty rate of this team was as high as 80%!
For an army, what did 80% of casualties mean? This meant that this army was basically crippled, but it was this almost crippled army that had persisted in the face of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and won the final victory!
Although he had tried his best to protect these people. But the fact that nearly forty thousand people had died in battle was undeniable!
This was the result of Miao Yi's own selfishness. In order to satisfy his own selfish desires, he had sacrificed the lives of nearly forty thousand of his subordinates, and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the Youding Domain lying dead on the battlefield.
This time, his selfishness was filled with blood and sin, and it filled him with guilt. How could he possibly be happy?
He couldn't bring himself to be happy at all. Some things couldn't be wrapped up in paper. How would these people think of him in the future?
To be honest, before this … He didn't have much affection for the Heavenly Court or his subordinates in the Black Dragon Society. He had always thought that he was just a passerby, and that he would never walk with these people to the end. He was prepared to run away at any time. He had walked step by step to get to where he was today. He had gone through countless battles, big and small, and lost count of how many people had fallen by his side. He had long since gotten used to it, so he didn't mind sacrificing a little.
But this time, when he saw these blood-soaked people who persevered to the end and even sacrificed themselves several times to lure the enemy and ask him to go first, he saw these lucky survivors crawling out from the pile of corpses. He felt like he had let these people down!
"If Milord hadn't personally overseen the battle this time, we wouldn't have been able to achieve such a great victory!" Mu Yulian cupped her fists to express her admiration and gratitude on behalf of everyone else.
Miao Yi felt guilty and wasn't willing to accept the credit. He smiled faintly and said, "I didn't kill too many enemies. It was my brothers who fought with their lives on the line and persevered until the very end. That's how we managed to achieve the final victory. The credit doesn't belong to me. It was everyone who risked their lives for it."
Mu Yulian didn't understand his feelings. She smiled and said, "Justice is in the hearts of men. Everyone saw it with their own eyes. Milord, you are being too modest."
"Modest? As long as everyone doesn't hate me in the future! " Miao Yi said faintly. Seeing that Mu Yulian still wanted to be polite, he raised his hand to stop her and changed the topic, saying, "Let's not waste any more time here. Let's go back and find all the Transcendence Bows buried underground. Don't miss a single one."
Mu Yulian understood that even if the Celestial Court lost one Transcendence Bow, they would still have to find it, let alone almost a hundred thousand Transcendence Bows. If they were lost, no one would be able to bear the responsibility. The defeated Youding Domain wouldn't bear the responsibility, but the victorious Transcendence Bows would be lost because they didn't clean up the area. Just thinking about the commotion the Celestial Court had caused in the phantom market over the lost Transcendence Bows was enough to understand the severity of the situation. Even if they knew it was dangerous, they still had to go back and find them. Not a single bow could be left behind. Then again, if they could find the Transcendence Bows, they would have a little more assurance.
"Understood!" She immediately received the order and regrouped the troops.
Everyone then quickly returned to the planet they were on.
Along the way, everyone quickly consumed some medicine to recover their transcendence energy and replenish their Transcendence Bows at the same time. Meanwhile, Mu Yulian quickly took stock of the casualties.
The entire Blue Tiger Banner had a total of one hundred and thirty-three thousand men. Mu Yulian had brought fifty thousand men with her as ordered, but only a few hundred survived. Nearly forty thousand of them had died in battle. Among them, the Cailian cultivators were also cut in half after being surrounded in the final battle. Out of the one hundred and three that Miao Yi brought with him, only fifty survived. The rest had all died in battle. The casualties were as high as eighty percent. It was a heavy loss!
After listening to Mu Yulian's report, Miao Yi took out the Star Bell with a grim expression and contacted the Big Dipper Legion's General Yu Zhongzhen. The moment he opened his mouth, he said, 'Youding Domain is rebelling!'
Yu Zhongzhen almost jumped in fright. 'Are you kidding me? What the hell is this bastard up to? Can't he just stop? How could the Youding Domain possibly rebel?! ' Putting aside the current situation, the Youding Domain was currently under the control of the Imperial Guard Army. If someone really rebelled, there was no way the higher-ups wouldn't know about it!
Yu Zhongzhen asked anxiously, 'What's going on?!'
Miao Yi immediately reported the situation. 'Youding Domain is rebelling! They gathered an army of one million to surround and attack my fifty thousand men. The Black Dragon Division's troops fought a bloody battle and defeated the one million rebel army. They killed around five hundred thousand of the rebel army, while nearly forty thousand of their own died in battle. Only around ten thousand survived. Please report to the Celestial Court and immediately send troops to wipe out the Youding Domain! '
Yu Zhongzhen was terrified when she heard this. She instinctively thought that Miao Yi was talking nonsense. 'An army of one million surrounded your fifty thousand men, and you still managed to defeat them? You even killed five hundred thousand men? With the strength of that half-tiger banner, aren't you boasting a little too much?! '
However, it didn't seem likely that Miao Yi would use such a thing to joke around with his superior. You shouldn't joke around with your superior like this. This was a serious matter. Joking around like this in the military was no longer a joke. It was just asking for trouble.
'It can't be true, can it?' The more Yu Zhongzhen thought about it, the more frightened he became. He couldn't even be bothered to scold Miao Yi anymore. He quickly summoned someone from the central army and asked him to urgently contact the informants he had planted down there to find out the situation.
The informant in charge of planting informants tried to contact several informants, but he couldn't get in touch with them all. In the end, he only managed to contact two informants from the half-tiger banner banner. He wouldn't have known if he hadn't asked, but the moment he did, he was shocked.
The informant's report was even clearer than Miao Yi's. There was no way the truth could be wrong. This was a bloody battle! A bloody battle where the disparity in strength was fifty thousand against a million!
The informant in charge of planting informants finally understood why he couldn't contact the other informants. They had all died in battle!
Yu Zhong Zhen, who was standing behind the table, was completely stunned. He fell onto the chair and muttered to himself, "Crazy! They've all gone crazy! "
The informant in charge of planting informants also stood there in a daze …
After regaining his composure, Yu Zhongzhen furrowed his brows. From the detailed report he received from the informant, it was a little too much to say that the Yuding Domain was rebelling. It seemed more like they were taking revenge for Chu Zishan! But for this revenge to be able to gather a million people to attack at all costs, how much determination did they have? He wouldn't believe it if someone told him there was no mastermind behind this!
He vaguely guessed something. With a solemn expression, he took out the Star Bell and contacted the Suppressing Second Guard's Governor Hua Yitian, reporting the situation in detail. However, he didn't say for sure that the Yuding Domain was rebelling. Revenge and rebellion were ambiguous, so he left it to the higher-ups to decide for themselves.
He wouldn't be like that lunatic Miao Yi, who would mess with the Yuding Domain the moment he opened his mouth and repeatedly insist that they were rebelling. What was the nature of a rebellion? How many heads would fall to the ground in order to appease the consequences? He was afraid that even the Marquis of the Yuding Domain wouldn't be able to escape. This matter concerned the overall situation of the Imperial Guard Army, so he couldn't speak carelessly!
However, after he finished reporting, he still felt his scalp go numb. Leaning back on his chair, he looked up at the ceiling and muttered to himself, "Fifty thousand men defeated a million elites from the Yuding Domain. How did the Yuding Domain fight this battle …?"
The troops returned to the battlefield and landed on the ravaged ground. They looked at the scene of corpses strewn all over the ground. There were also many half-buried corpses in the soil that they had flipped over. Some had an arm, some had a leg, and some had half of their body exposed. It was a tragic sight.
Along the way, the troops who were still jubilant over their victory instantly fell silent. Many of them shed silent tears.
