Warlord: Starting with Subduing Little A Qiao

However, according to the information they received, this area was already a wasteland.

Most of the Independent Legion members fled, but their whereabouts are unknown.

How could one person possibly fight against an army of tens of thousands?

There's only one explanation... that they escaped from Yue Zhong's clutches and returned to Shicheng County.

However, even if they could fly, it wouldn't be so easy for them to go back, would it?

The only possibility is through the waterway.

Upon further reflection, the commander realized that the independent regiment had likely obtained a small river from somewhere and was then moving upstream along the river.

This is why she returned to Shicheng County in the shortest possible time.

It dealt a heavy blow to the opponent.

Although the commander knew the truth, he did not want to admit it and still clung to a sliver of hope.

But now, he is completely plunged into despair.

This time, his plan completely fell through.

He was well aware of the consequences if he lost.

Even if they wanted to take action, it was already too late.

There's one hour left.

He hadn't even reported a single good piece of information to Sato Iwane.

Sato Iwane, on the other hand, is probably getting impatient.

"The commander wants you to come over."

A soldier suddenly appeared outside the door.

What he feared most always came to pass.

At this moment, the last person he wanted to see was Sato Iwane; he really wanted to see that the other person was just saying it casually.

However, this summons is definitely related to their independent legion.

"I see."

The soldier hesitated for a long time, and finally, like a deflated balloon, he said dejectedly.

After saying that, he walked into meeting room 047 with a blank expression.

He looked toward the already closed conference hall.

But his feet felt as if they were filled with lead, and he couldn't move an inch.

He dared not, because he knew that behind that door lay a vast abyss, and if he stepped in, he would be swallowed by it.

While it wasn't outrageous, it was enough.

After a long while, the guard gritted his teeth and opened the door.

By this time, it was already packed with people.

Sato Iwane, on the other hand, had a solemn expression.

Something seems off about this meeting.

"Commander," Jiang Liushi greeted.

The other person bowed to Sato Iwane.

Sato Iwane glanced at the colonel and gave a curt reply.

Sato Iwane spoke after the soldier had taken a seat.

Chapter 386: Perhaps the entire Gan tribe

It's almost midnight.

The soldier tensed up, looked up as if pleading for help.

Sato Iwane said, "I only want to know one thing, and I must get it back to you no matter what."

The soldier was taken aback, then fell into deep thought, unsure of what to say.

"Huh?" The man was taken aback.

Sato Iwane glanced at him, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

The soldier lowered his head and told everything he knew.

Upon hearing this, Sato Iwane's already unpleasant expression turned even more unpleasant.

"In other words, we sent them all out. Not only did we not stop them, but they actually escaped and came back. That's why we lost tens of thousands of men?"

Sato Iwane's voice was filled with coldness.

"Yes." Ye Futian nodded.

The officer had initially intended to explain, but upon further reflection, he realized he couldn't really articulate the situation, so he reluctantly spoke up.

He nodded solemnly.

"I see."

Sato Iwane nodded, indicating that he understood.

The police officer sighed inwardly; it seemed that Sato Iwane had no intention of taking responsibility for him.

Thinking about this made him feel much better.

That makes sense, after all, he was a soldier, he couldn't just die like that, Sato Iwane just died.

It was precisely their cleverness.

boom!

But before he could change his mind, he felt a sharp pain in his head and everything went black.

He plopped down on the table.

Blood slowly flowed out.

The officials in the room all looked rather grim, but they didn't say much. They had already experienced how quickly Sato Iwane's attitude could change.

Sato Iwane lowered his weapon and gently placed the gun down.

"There's no point in keeping trash like him around; killing him is the best outcome."

None of the other generals objected.

Sato Iwane immediately stood up, placed his hands on the table, leaned forward, and scanned the room.

Everyone felt an immense sense of oppression.

"Think about it first. I don't want them to continue existing!" Sato Iwane's face darkened, a hint of murderous intent in his eyes. "This time, they've gone too far. We've lost over 300,000 soldiers. If we let them continue..."

Sato Iwane said, "If this continues, our casualties will be even greater, and the entire Gan tribe might become their territory." We're still undecided about the territory of Jiujiang, but recently another batch of troops was sent in. They are the 358th Squad, very powerful, and often bullied by Tong Yan. The situation in Shanghai...

They desperately need reinforcements; we only have a maximum of 500,000 men at most. "Leaving aside his sheer strength, just look at his weapons and equipment. Even if we wanted to suppress him, we might not be able to take him down. On the contrary, we would suffer heavy losses, Commander."

At this moment, you must not act impulsively.

An elderly sergeant, who looked to be in his forties or fifties and whose hair was thinning, stood up and spoke.

His name was Shinichi Matsushita, and he was an experienced general.

Deeply calculating, deeply calculating.

Therefore, he was the only one who dared to step forward in the face of a situation like that of Sato Iwane.

"...Is this all? If I let them off today, they'll come storming headquarters and killing me tomorrow!"

Sato Iwane was furious. "This legion is difficult to deal with, but it's not impossible. With our strength, we can easily crush them. It's just a matter of time, but now is not the time. If we act rashly, we might find ourselves in a dilemma." Yes.

When the higher-ups investigate, we will bear full responsibility.

Shinichi Matsushita didn't speak so bluntly, but used a more tactful approach, hoping that Iwane Sato would change his mind.

Upon seeing Sato Iwane, his expression subtly changed. Matsushita Shinichi quickly seized the opportunity and continued, "The situation is extremely tense right now. Our main forces are concentrated in the Jiujiang region. If we can annihilate all these troops, then the army in Shicheng County will become utterly vulnerable. They won't be able to withstand us at all."

Chapter 387: Zhou Bao also calmed down.

It's like a monkey that jumps around, able to die however it wants.

It has to be said that this independent legion really had a stroke of incredible luck before they arrived.

Therefore, they don't have the time to waste on these people.

They were tied down by the imperial army.

This is why they can live such a leisurely life under these circumstances.

The situation in Shanghai is also terrible; they are clearly short-staffed.

In the past, they would have definitely sent an army to surround this independent legion.
