Chapter 147 Retreat

The combined forces couldn't break through the enemy's covering fire, and the situation was set.

The problem was that Putmi didn't have any warships to transport troops to pursue, and if they let the other side pass, it would be a big trouble, as the opposite side was their hinterland.

On the transport ship, Chen Shan and the others watched the riverbank gradually receding, their hearts growing heavier. Although they had temporarily escaped danger, the price they paid was extremely heavy.

Xiao Wen walked to Chen Shan's side and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't be discouraged, as long as you're alive, there's hope."

"Lao Xiao, I'm just afraid that when we get to the other side, we'll be wiped out in no time. That would be embarrassing, might as well just fight it out here."

Chen Shan said with some worry.

"Don't worry, it won't happen!"

Xiao Wen replied with a smile.

"By the way, when did you ask Jiang Hanqiu for help? She's taking a big risk this time, isn't she?"

"She's indeed taking a big risk, I owe her a big favor..."

A helpless expression appeared on Xiao Wen's face.

"Haha, I remember she admires you a lot, why don't you just..."

Chen Shan smiled meaningfully.

"What nonsense are you talking about? We have a purely companion relationship."

Xiao Wen coughed, his expression becoming more and more unnatural.

......

After a long time, the transport ships approached the opposite side of the Tianji Canal one after another, and Xiao Wen's troops began to disembark.

After everyone disembarked, Jiang Hanqiu's voice sounded in Xiao Wen's communicator.

"Commander Xiao Wen, I'll send you here, the rest is up to you."

"Thank you!"

"No need to thank me! Remember you promised to treat me to dinner."

Jiang Hanqiu replied happily.

"Definitely!"

Xiao Wen replied very肯定地.

"Everyone listen up, artillery fire will hold the enemy back for forty minutes, then everyone will retreat!"

Jiang Hanqiu issued the final order.

Xiao Wen, who had landed, also immediately issued an order: "Everyone, rapid march away from the Tianji Canal defense zone, avoid the radiation zone!"

"Understood!"

Everyone ignored their fatigue and began to move forward quickly, taking this opportunity to see if they could completely shake off the enemy's reconnaissance.

When night fell, Su Mo and the others hid in a dense forest. Su Mo and Qian Chengxue also laid down their mecha and covered them with camouflage tarpaulins.

The group sat down on the spot, resting against the trees.

Many players were too tired to move, and after continuous high-intensity operations, their spirits were almost at their limit.

Heavy snow fell continuously, and many players were so tired and cold that they were about to fall asleep.

Some squad leaders kept shouting: "Don't fall asleep! Everyone wake up! If you're too sleepy to bear it, go to the tent to sleep."

Due to the hasty escape, things that could be thrown away were thrown away, including transport vehicles. Therefore, there were not many tents brought over, and now they could only be supplied to those companions who were already exhausted.

In such cold weather, players who didn't wear mechanical armor would basically die if they dared to fall asleep in the snow.

If it really didn't work, they would stipulate a time to go offline and rest. Once the people in the tent had rested, they would switch them online and go in to rest. This could effectively avoid it, but it couldn't avoid it for too long, after all, the status was still continuously dropping.

Xiao Wen looked at the embarrassed crowd and asked in a deep voice.

"What's the situation?"

Chen Shan sighed and said: "I just roughly estimated that when we came, there were 200,000 people, and now there are only 50,000 people left alive. We're not far from being wiped out."

"What about Qian Chengxue and the others?"

Xiao Wen frowned and continued to ask. Although he had been prepared for it, it was still difficult to accept when he really heard the number of casualties.

"Because we took special care of them, it's a little better, but it's not much better. Out of a total of 20,000 personnel, there are only about 10,000 left now. And a lot of the weapons they carried were damaged or abandoned, and basically very little is left. How are we going to compensate them later?"

Chen Shan's head hurt when he said the last sentence. If converted into money, even if it's cheaper, it would probably cost several hundred million.

If the guild doesn't reimburse them later, they won't be able to afford to pay even if they sell themselves. You must know that the nature of public wealth and private wealth is different.

"Let's talk about this later, what about supplies?"

Xiao Wen temporarily ignored this matter and focused on the current situation.

"Not much, but it's enough to cope with it."

Chen Shan's words were not confident at all.

"Let's just do this for now, rest and then consider other things."

Xiao Wen's head hurt even more.

......

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Freedom City (M country) center, inside a magnificent white building.

The Speakers of various countries gathered in a modern conference room. This conference room has been specially改造，Inside, there are no old-fashioned round tables and chairs, all of which are the most luxurious single massage chairs. People can lie on them for a long time without any discomfort, but will feel very comfortable.

Sitting in the front row were Long Ming and Ougulasi and others.

Everyone was watching the delayed images transmitted back by Xinghuan. The content of the images was the war images of Qilong Plain and Blackwater Land.

Many of the important people present were whispering to each other.

Ougulasi (President of the Freedom Victory Guild) showed a bright smile and said to Long Ming, who was sitting next to him.

"I don't think there's any need to fight, the outcome has been decided."

"Until the last moment, no one can say for sure, don't you think?"

Long Ming replied calmly, as if he was not the one who was at a disadvantage, but the other party.

"Haha, okay. Then let's continue watching. At most, we'll wait a day or two, and the result will be out."

Ougulasi was in a very good mood. Although there were some accidents in the local battlefield, the overall situation was set.

"Then let's wait and see."

Long Ming replied unhurriedly.

Compared to the polite exchanges between Long Ming and Ougulasi, the exchanges between the other two people next to them didn't seem so pleasant.

A woman with a strong aura, white hair, sharp eyes, and a rather old age was arguing with a strong, hard-faced man.

"Your people have violated the rules."

"It's as if your people follow the rules. We're just doing what you did, back to you!"

"You!"

"Don't say those pointless words. If you want to fight, then fight hard."

.....

The people sitting behind the two of them didn't dare to say anything. The two people who were arguing were Mrs. Yisailin, the president of the Shenhua League Guild.

The other one was Sibaide, the president of the Baoxiong Guild, who was known for his iron fist.

Now the troops on both sides are fighting fiercely in the Blackwater Land, and their anger has been completely ignited.

For a while, both sides were a little out of control, and they beat their prisoners, so they were accusing each other.

There is a saying that when gods fight, mortals suffer. No one else present dared to say anything.

To put it bluntly, it's said that everyone is watching the progress of the Xinghuan game. In fact, most of them are watching these four guilds fight each other. Most of them are here to accompany them.

They are also very worried. On the one hand, they hope that these four guilds will quickly decide the winner. On the other hand, they are also worried that they will get angry and get out of control, and they will also suffer.
