Chapter 1011: Chapter 1011: A Warrior Dies for the One Who Understands Him
Just as reinforcements from the Magic Shield Bureau arrived, those Biochemical Soldiers from the Magic Shield Bureau fighting against the Sky Net Army were called back. Naturally, the Martial Arts Warriors of Sky Net didn’t pursue them but took this rare chance to retreat to their camp for rest and recuperation.
As someone with the talent to be a general, Titan, faced with this situation, immediately saw the crisis within.
That is the fatigue above the soldiers’ spirit!
Such morale surely gets affected under prolonged battles, greatly impacting combat strength.
Titan’s main task now is to stabilize hearts and minds, and as an adept leader, he certainly knows how to soothe them.
He first held a small meeting with several leaders like Tong Hu, Lin Xi, and Ten Killings and briefly discussed the combat strategy. Then, he straightforwardly presented the current situation and analyzed the crisis.
Seeing the slightly pale faces of several leaders including Ten Killings, Titan said with a smile, "Though the situation is tough, Sky Net, when faced with danger, never backs down but charges forward through countless hardships."
Continuing solemnly, Titan said, "You are certainly different from ordinary Sky Net warriors, being the core mid-leveled and even high-leveled entourage of Sky Net, having grown through numerous trials with us."
"Under these circumstances, I won’t say more; you should understand this is a trust from me, Long Qie, and Mr. Xiao to you. Hence what I said earlier, I didn’t hide anything."
Hearing these words, Ten Killings and other commanders felt a surge of passionate loyalty, loudly declaring, "General Titan, rest assured, we will fight to kill the enemy with all our might!"
Titan nodded, satisfied that the morale of both higher and mid-ranking officers was stabilized. In a troop, as long as the higher-ups stand united, it becomes an impenetrable force.
After the meeting concluded, Titan exited the conference room and began inspecting various military camps of Sky Net, warmly engaging with the rank-and-file soldiers.
Moreover, Titan was unconcerned with the camps’ chaos, formed by prolonged warfare, aiding the wounded, dining with soldiers, and conversing loudly.
Titan seemed like a remedy for stabilizing military morale, wherever he went, those soldiers fatigued by long battles and even those weary in spirit were invigorated with newfound fighting spirit.
This was undoubtedly a masterful tactic.
Even if ordinary commanders willingly lowered themselves to mingle with the rank-and-file soldiers, they couldn’t achieve the seamless harmony displayed by Titan. This is the mark of a distinguished commander!
Every renowned commander possesses personality charisma akin to the sun, capable of drawing soldiers to their side to fight devotedly, tying the entire army together in unity.
This inspection took a long time and immensely drained energy, lasting until midnight. Returning to his tent, Titan sat down and suddenly let out a bitter smile.
"If Mr. Xiao were here, would there be a need to stabilize morale like this? He merely needs to stand here, without uttering a word, and Sky Net soldiers would brim with fighting spirit, never retreating."
If Titan’s charisma were the sun, radiant and dazzling, then Xiao Zheng’s charisma would be the superstars deep in the cosmos, thousands of times more brilliant than the sun.
Completely a different level of existence.
Unfortunately, Xiao Zheng went to attack the Magic Shield Bureau Headquarters and hasn’t returned yet.
Moreover, seeing the Magic Shield Bureau’s forces continuously receiving reinforcements here, Titan secretly felt uneasy; could it be that Xiao Zheng’s mission to attack the headquarters failed?
If Xiao Zheng’s mission succeeded, the headquarters would surely be in chaos. How could they possibly spare forces to send reinforcement?
Titan abruptly shook his head, dispelling this dreadful thought from his mind, and then fell asleep.
Titan, being a Grandmaster Level expert, possesses abundant stamina, not needing sleep for ten days and nights, but from holding the fort in this great battle, the mental pressure was immense, thus quite exhausting.
However, shortly after lying down, probably only half an hour, Titan was suddenly awakened by shouts and cries from outside, and he rose swiftly.
Just then, a trusted aide of Titan entered without notification, exclaiming, "General Titan, the Magic Shield Bureau has started their attack!"
Titan’s eyes gleamed with intensity as he leapt up and strode outside the tent, moving towards the battlefield still wearing his Southern Barbarian Vine Armor.
Upon exiting the tent, an inferno loomed in the distance.
Beneath the pitch-black night, across the vast sea, several large naval vessels from the Magic Shield Bureau charged forth, sailing ablaze with colossal torches, illuminating the sky in crimson hues.
Countless Magic Shield Bureau Biochemical Soldiers aboard issued synchronized roars, with a momentum as imposing as oceans and mountains, their shouts seemingly shaking the heavens.
Tong Hu and other leaders had already arrived inquiring how Titan should respond to the Magic Shield Bureau’s onslaught.
Titan didn’t reply immediately but leapt onto the roof of a tent, surveying the attack posture of the Magic Shield Bureau before descending again.
Tong Hu and others looked at Titan, waiting for his orders.
Titan steadily declared, "Don’t panic. The Magic Shield Bureau’s surprise attack is laughable and nearly suicidal."
"Could General elaborate?" Tong Hu, Lin Xi, and other leaders asked, eager to understand Titan’s meaning.
Titan pointed towards the battlefield with a smile, "Their fleet’s attack assumes we’ll also sail our ships to confront them, engaging on the high seas. On the vast sea, with their massive fleet and numerous soldiers, we stand no chance."
"However, we can avoid this entirely."
Titan’s eyes revealed a trace of killing intent, his lips curling into a cold smile, "We simply need to guard the camp, wait for their beach landing. The terrain here is like a Gourd Mouth, where the port is rather narrow, preventing many to land at once. Hence, however many come, we shall slay!"
