Chapter 2704 The Buddhist Kingdom Admits Defeat, Teleportation Channel Closed
"We still lost 120,000 elite soldiers..." Xu Huang's face turned ashen when he saw the report that had just been presented to him...

You must understand, these fallen soldiers cannot be brought back to life!
This was the deadliest battle in the history of the Great Wilderness Territory!

Moreover, this battle employed a pillar of strength, making the enemy like lambs to the slaughter, yet the White Wave Army still paid such a heavy price.

After listing the number of casualties, there was the initial list of the dead. Xu Huang quickly glanced through it, and countless familiar names appeared on the paper.

"120,000 soldiers, all of them the bravest, charging at the forefront, their strength is quite outstanding..." Xu Huang said, his expression becoming increasingly solemn.

Most of these 120,000 soldiers were his comrades-in-arms who had followed him for some time, and now they are buried here. It is what Xu Huang owes them!

"We must collect all the remains of the martyrs, properly handle their funerals, prepare compensation, and comfort their families," Xu Huang said gravely.

"The latest intelligence report has been submitted to Chief Steward Chang Yin, and he has already instructed people to begin arranging related matters," Shi A whispered.

He hadn't expected that a battle he thought he could win would come at such a heavy price... It essentially crippled the army that Xu Huang wanted to oversee...

For Xu Huang, although he won the battle, it was a fierce victory. Most of his highly skilled and combat-ready soldiers were gone, and his personal troops, severely weakened, would be unable to recover their fighting strength in the short term.

As for the other soldiers, they were mostly transferred from the militia. After the mission was over, they would be assigned to different positions based on merit, and most of them would go back to being farmers.

Xu Huang gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, his knuckles turning white, a flicker of pain and self-reproach crossing his eyes. He knew all too well that this victory had been built with the blood and flesh of his brothers, and behind every corpse lay a broken family and a heavy burden of trust.

As for the fruits of victory, although it achieved unprecedented and remarkable results, that was only for external celebration and explanation, and only for those who survived. As for the relatives who died, everyone probably shed tears silently.

He slowly raised his head, his voice hoarse but undeniable: "Reorganize the military system, gather the remnants, and transfer elite troops from each battalion to supplement the main force."

“Yes!” Shi A nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Xu Huang made a series of arrangements, basically handling all the post-war affairs.

After finishing his business, Xu Huang composed himself, grinned, and asked, "How did you feel about the battle?"

Upon hearing this, Shi A gently shook his head.

Although he had led troops into battle before, the difficulty of that battle was nothing compared to today's...

Those Buddhist generals were fearless and extremely fierce. Even if their hearts were pierced, they would still try to get close and bite the enemy's throat, dying together with him.

Some Buddha statues, even after their heads were cut off, continued to thrash about for a while before collapsing...

"My performance in this battle was very poor. Although I managed to kill a Heavenly Buddha in the end, my overall evaluation of it was just average."

"It's alright... Focus on the way of the battlefield from now on, and you'll mature gradually."

"From now on, you must fight with your own heart and not continue to live in your master's shadow." Xu Huang continued to work on Shi A's mindset.

"That's right! Gongming's words make sense. Your master has always taught you that you are you, unique and irreplaceable, but you won't listen to any of that, while you listen to everything else without missing a single word, hmph!"

Just then, a familiar voice came from the outer tent.

The two looked up and saw Wang Yue walking towards them like a ghost, taking ten zhang at a time.

"Master!!" Shi A exclaimed with delight upon seeing Wang Yue, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"Shuheng, how come you have time to come here?" Xu Huang asked in surprise.

Wang Yue is Lord Lin Mu's newest chief bodyguard. How come he has time to come here? Could it be that Lord Lin Mu has come?

As if knowing what Xu Huang was thinking, Wang Yue said in a deep voice, "I came here this time because I was afraid that something might happen here, so I came alone to take a look. I didn't expect it to happen ahead of schedule."

"How is the battle going?" Wang Yue couldn't help but ask.

As soon as he arrived, he saw many soldiers carrying the remains of their comrades, and a sense of sorrow and solemnity permeated the entire Qingyuan Town.

A quick glance suggests at least seventy to eighty thousand casualties...

This might only be the first wave... There might be more invasions later... Will Xu Huang's White Wave Army be completely wiped out?

"120,000 elite soldiers were killed in action, including four Heaven-rank, thirty-one Earth-rank, one hundred and seventy-two Profound-rank, three hundred and twelve Yellow-rank... and one thousand three hundred and twenty-five basic-level generals!"

"This...are most of your generals killed in battle?" Upon hearing this, Wang Yue's face also showed a solemn expression.

This statistic for military officers basically represents Xu Huang's entire army. Now they've all perished... What a devastating loss!

An army of three million could only muster fewer than two thousand generals, which shows how low the army's top combat strength was.

Xu Huang gave a wry smile and nodded, but a hint of relief appeared on his face as he said, "Fortunately, they had already been bound to the Soul Guide, otherwise the losses would have been enormous." "But the other elite soldiers weren't so fortunate..."

"How many enemy troops have come, and how many are at the God-level combat strength?" Wang Yue asked in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Xu Huang and Shi A's bitter smiles vanished instantly. Shi A exclaimed excitedly, "Although we suffered considerable losses in this battle, they are insignificant compared to the results. This time, we slaughtered at least a million Buddhist generals!!"

“A million? A Buddha? Hiss~~~~” Upon hearing this, Wang Yue’s pupils suddenly contracted.

"That's right, it's the Buddha General!"

"The enemy has sent about 1.3 million Buddhist generals, not a single ordinary Buddhist soldier, they are all Buddhist generals..."

"When did the battle begin? Why didn't you report it?" Wang Yue asked in shock.

"The greatest credit for this battle belongs to Master Huangyang... He helped us..." Xu Huang whispered to Wang Yue about what had happened.

After hearing this, Wang Yue's expression of shock deepened.

"I originally thought you had only repelled the enemy's first tentative attack, but I never expected it to be the final battle!" Wang Yue exclaimed with deep emotion.

“Yes, this battle can be considered the decisive one. The Buddhist Kingdom probably can no longer gather such a number of Buddhist generals.” Xu Huang nodded.

"In just over half an hour, they slaughtered a million Buddhist generals... an unprecedented feat of war!!!" Wang Yue could already imagine that after this battle, Xu Huang and Shi A's names would definitely be recorded in the annals of Chinese history...

Two names are definitely included in the major events of the Great Wilderness Territory!

"Ji Shi, you've really made something of yourself!" Wang Yue patted Shi A on the shoulder and exclaimed.

He had just been reprimanding his apprentice, but he never expected that he would participate in such a glorious battle and win such a great victory!
"Where are Ji Hai and the others?" Wang Yue asked, glancing around.

“They’ve all died!” Shi A said quietly, looking down.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yue shuddered. Fortunately, he had previously begged his lord, Lin Mu, to place a soul imprint on them; otherwise… there would have been a tragic scene of parents burying their children!

He hadn't expected the battle to be so brutal.

"Didn't any of the traps we set activate?" Wang Yue suddenly recalled the huge, slowly rising yellow cloud of mist he had seen when he arrived and exclaimed in surprise.

"None of them have been activated... We're keeping them as a backup plan," Xu Huang said in a deep voice.

"A backup plan... Heh... Do we even need to defend against it? Knowing them as I do, they'll be devastated this time. Perhaps even the Lord of the Divine Path on the other side is roaring right now..."

"Based on your description, I judge that most of the Buddha generals are blood Buddhas, fierce soldiers who protect the Buddhist path. They usually do dirty and hard work, bear endless karmic burdens, and basically will not have a good end."

“And the Blood Buddhas are all fanatical believers; their fall comes at a huge cost!” Wang Yue said solemnly.

“You’ve dealt them a severe blow this time, they might close the passage!” Wang Yue predicted.

"Buzz!!!!!" Just then, a terrifying wave surged out, and all three of them sensed it immediately.

"It can't be such a coincidence, can it?" the three said in unison.

Wang Yue was just making a guess, but he never expected it to come true!
The three of them sped out like lightning and quickly arrived at the teleportation channel.

Just as Wang Yue said, the huge teleportation channel, which was still filled with a faint, foul-smelling yellow mist, was slowly shrinking... The surrounding spatial power was constantly surging, and an energy storm was gradually forming.

Seeing this, Xu Huang had a premonition that the teleportation channel here might really be about to be completely shut down!
His mission as the garrison commander is about to come to a complete end!
"Quickly! Evacuate!!!" Xu Huang was momentarily distracted before his expression hardened and he gave the order.

Upon hearing this, the soldiers who were still moving the corpses all looked up at Xu Huang.

These were ordinary soldiers, not very well-trained. Upon hearing Xu Huang's order, they all looked up at him to confirm. An elite force would never have acted this way; they would have resolutely and quickly retreated.

"A spatial storm will erupt soon, and this place is no longer safe to stay! Everyone retreat, and don't worry about the Buddha's remains that haven't been moved yet!" Xu Huang gave an explanation.

Only then did all the soldiers hurriedly leave.

The ground was littered with severed limbs and blood.

The vast majority of the blood was red, not golden. Therefore, these bloodied Buddha remains are not very valuable.

As for the treasure bag that Buddha dropped, it had already been collected.

"Damn... they're not really going to close the teleportation channel, are they? If the two worlds aren't at war, we can still be friends and do some foreign trade! Can't afford to play this game?!" At this moment, a familiar voice came.

Wang Yue, Xu Huang, and Shi A turned their heads and saw their lord, Lin Mu, rushing over!
