The scene was crowded, but no one dared to answer Yelu Shenxuan's question.
At this moment, what Yelu Shenxuan needed was not someone who could answer his questions, but a channel to vent his frustrations.
His rage was palpable, his chest heaving as he gasped for breath. All Yelu Shenxuan wanted now was to kill Yuan Shidao, lying helpless on the stretcher.
With Yuan Shidao's skills, killing a main general of the Qin army should have been a piece of cake. After all, he was just a minor commander, not someone like Li Chen who needed to be assassinated. But now that Yuan Shidao has met such a tragic end, there is only one answer... he underestimated his opponent.
Yuan Shidao's underestimation of the enemy resulted not only in his own serious injury but also a significant blow to the morale of the Liao army.
This battle was Yelu Shenxuan's all-or-nothing gamble, focusing on a swift advance to Wolong Mountain and a decisive victory over the entire Qin army. Under such circumstances, Yelu Shenxuan could accept tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of casualties, but absolutely not allow any damage to troop morale.
Strike while the iron is hot, and never give up. This is the most basic principle in military strategy, but often the most fundamental truths are the easiest to understand.
The Liao army's main force was ambushed at Tiger Jumping Cliff. Although the damage was not significant, the scene was extremely gruesome. This was a huge blow to morale, and that is why Yelü Shenxuan sent Yuan Shidao to kill the enemy leader in order to boost morale. However, he never expected that Yuan Shidao, with his half-step terrestrial immortal realm strength, would be defeated...
Looking at Yuan Shidao on the stretcher, Yelu Shenxuan's anger within him grew more and more fervent, but the expression on his face gradually became calm.
Approaching the stretcher, Yelü Shenxuan softly asked, "Mr. Yuan, can you hear me"
Yuan Shidao lay motionless on the stretcher, seemingly completely deaf to Yelu Shenxuan's words.
His gaze darkened, Yelu Shenxuan stood up and said, "Order the military physician to do everything in their power to cure Mr. Yuan's injuries."
Even though he was furious, Yelü Shenxuan had to bring Yuan Shidao back alive. This was because Yuan Shidao had an older brother named Wanyan Zidao, who was the prime minister of the Liao Kingdom. Yelü Shenxuan absolutely couldn't afford to offend Wanyan Zidao at this critical juncture.
Just as the soldiers were about to carry Yuan Shidao away, Yuan Shidao, who had been motionless all along, suddenly opened his eyes.
A head as black and hairless as charcoal split open, revealing two eye sockets. The crimson whites of its eyes were filled with a cold gaze that made even the seasoned Liao generals, who reveled in killing, feel a chill down their spines.
But Yelü Shenxuan, seeing this, revealed an expression of 'surprise', "Mr. Yuan, you're awake"
"As long as you're okay, that's all that matters. This time, even though you're injured, as long as you still have a breath in you, I will definitely cure you. You don't have to worry about anything else, just focus on recovering, leave it all to me..."
Yelü Shenxuan instinctively lowered his head to look at Yuan Shidao's left leg, and saw that the flesh and blood above the knee was blurred with blood. Let alone losing a leg, even what was between his legs was burned into a small lump of charcoal at this time.
Fortunately, the temperature at the time of the explosion was too high. It shattered Yuan Shidao's left leg, and the high temperature instantly sealed the wound. Otherwise, the bleeding alone would have been enough to drain Yuan Shidao of his blood.ed Dragon Clan emissary to get lost. This palace has no time to see him. A mere Marquis of Chengyang bestowed during the founding of the state, a lowly title only hereditary for three generations, is...
