"."

After a while of silence, Captain Wang suddenly slapped the document in front of him with his palm.

The desk case was broken by Wang Xiaowei's palm.

"This bunch of bastards! The cooperative defense of the city failed more than failed, and now they have appeared. How dare they?!"

After saying that, Lieutenant Wang took a long breath and smiled coldly:

"It doesn't matter. Stabilize them for the time being and let them seize the time to clean up the corpses in the city. As for the demonic beast inner elixirs and materials, let them take as much as they can. When the reinforcements arrive, let them take the money with profits.

Spit it out! If you don’t spit it out, no one will leave the city!"

When the adjutant heard this, he cupped his fists and saluted:

"Yes, General."

Captain Wang pondered for a moment and added:

"Remember, we just turn a blind eye and don't want to reach an official agreement with them."

"Yes."

"Is there anything else?"

The adjutant thought for a moment and whispered:

"General, Doctor Cheng has just sent word that the detergent powder has been used up. If this continues, a plague will soon break out."

Captain Wang pondered slightly when he heard the words and said in a low voice:

"Then let people transport the corpses in the city out of the city as soon as possible."

The adjutant shook his head slightly when he heard this and said:

"General, Dr. Cheng said I'm afraid it won't work just to transport it out, it will have to be burned."

"Burn?" Captain Wang frowned.

"."

The adjutant glanced around, then stepped forward and whispered to Captain Wang:

"Build an isolation zone in the city and burn all the corpses in the south and west of the city."

Captain Wang heard the adjutant's words and just asked:

"If it is burned, is it possible to prevent the outbreak of the plague?"

The adjutant shook his head: "It just reduces the chance."

Captain Wang lowered his eyes, and gently tapped the armrest of the chair with his calloused palms. After a long while, he whispered:

"Go and organize the people and clear out the area."

"General Wang!"

The adjutant interrupted Lieutenant Wang, and his tone became a little more serious: "Even counting the losses, there are tens of thousands of demonic beast inner elixirs and materials. If all are sold, it will be enough for us in Shengshan County to re-engrav the formation patterns and even train new troops.

”

Captain Wang nodded and said:

"I know."

"Then why?"

Captain Wang looked at the adjutant and smiled reluctantly:

"If people are gone, Shengshan County is really dead. If there are such heavy casualties, the court will definitely provide disaster relief. Go down and prepare."

The adjutant did not move.

Captain Wang frowned:

"Li Chengqi, do you want to disobey me?"

The adjutant shook his head slightly and whispered:

"General, we only have a total of 200 brothers at our disposal right now. We simply don't have enough manpower. If we order something like this, the caravans in the city won't agree to it."

Colonel Wang grinned coldly:

"Do you think they dare to rebel?"

The adjutant shook his head:

"They don't dare, but they dare not contribute. With the people we have now, we simply can't complete such a large project."

"."

Captain Wang was silent, and finally sighed helplessly: "Go down and leave me alone for a while."

The adjutant stood there and paused for a few breaths, cupped his fists and saluted, and said respectfully:

"General, you rest, I'm going down first."

After that, he turned around and walked out of the main hall, leaving Captain Wang sitting alone in front of the document that was broken into two parts.

A long while,

Lieutenant Wang bowed slightly, picked up the list of dead and missing from the ground, and carefully read page by page.

The faint sound of turning pages echoed in the silent main hall.

Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar names on these rosters, his fists clenched little by little.

He has been in Shengshan since he joined the army.

Twenty-seven years.

From Xiao Wang, to Brother Wang, and then to Uncle Wang.

He has seen all the people represented by the names on the roster, and has met many of them. Some call him General Wang, some call him Uncle, and some people came back from the market and happily told him that he picked up something again today.

If you miss it, you can make a lot of money and improve the military camp next year.

But now, they have all become a few words on this roster.

Captain Wang cannot think of these young people as numbers like those in higher positions, because they used to be a group of living people in front of him.

Page after page, turning to the last few pages, Wang Xiaowei's breathing gradually became difficult.

A strong sense of suffocation almost enveloped his entire body.

"Wanxiang Sect"

A low, almost tooth-crushing voice sounded in the quiet county government hall. His hand holding the roster was bruised by veins, but the burly middle-aged man was still reluctant to destroy the roster.

I don't know how long it took, Captain Wang slowly picked up the brush on the ground, lightly dipped it in the ink that spilled on the ground, then opened the roster, and wrote his own in the last row of the last page.

Name.

After doing all this, Lieutenant Wang gently leaned on his chair and smiled, feeling relieved.

He is going to Wanxiang Sect to seek justice.

Even if you know that you will most likely die if you go this time, the brothers in these military camps, the dead people, and the dilapidated Shengshan County all need justice.

Thinking of this, Colonel Wang casually placed the roster on the ground.

And at this time,

"Captain Wang, what do you want to do?"

A low voice sounded beside him.

Captain Wang's pupils shrank slightly, but he was relieved immediately, because he recognized who the familiar voice belonged to, and slowly stood up and looked back:

"Mr. Zhou, when did you come?"

I saw a handsome-looking young man in blood-clothed clothes standing behind him, looking at him calmly.

Xu Yuan didn't say anything when he heard the words, and glanced at him calmly. He slowly walked closer and picked up the roster on the ground. He opened it and flipped through it for a moment. When he saw the name on the last page, he sighed softly:

"Actually, you don't have to do this."

Captain Wang said nothing:

Xu Yuan looked at him and asked:

"You don't believe that the imperial court will take action against the Wanxiang Sect?"

Captain Wang shook his head:

"It's not that I don't believe it. I have been in Xizezhou for so many years. I am very familiar with everything around here. Attacking the Wanxiang Sect will involve a lot. If Shengshan County is really gone, maybe the court will do it for political purposes.

We will take action against the Wanxiang Sect, but given the current situation, there is a high probability that we will not do so. Shengshan County needs disaster relief and reconstruction."

Xu Yuan raised his eyes and sighed softly:

"You are right, the imperial court will not attack the Wanxiang Sect."

Captain Wang smiled and looked down at his calloused hands:
Chapter completed!
