Chapter 501 On Victory and Defeat
Although Wang Yi did not refute, Ren Tianque was not happy to hear this.
"If the Sacred Beast Bee Queen is so powerful, how could she have lost the battle against Li Yuan? How could she have been so badly defeated and forced to flee by a forbidden mage from China?"
"Loss? Flee in a sorry state?"
Lin Qingyu laughed silently for a few moments, as if he had heard an extremely funny joke, before straightening up with a mocking expression.
"Do you really believe that China was the victor in the War of Liyuan?"
Ren Tianque clenched his fists abruptly, gritting his teeth and roaring, "Of course!"
"Not only did the demonic beasts fail to breach Li Yuan, but countless others perished, and the tens of millions of people along the southeastern coast remained untouched by any of them!"
"In this battle, the Heavenly Extinction Army has won! China has won!"
These were bloody victories achieved at the cost of the complete annihilation of the Tianfu Army. They were the glory of the Tianfu Army, and Ren Tianque would naturally not allow Lin Qingyu, a traitor, to tarnish them in any way.
"Kid, relax a bit."
Lin Qingyu's smile faded slightly, and then he continued:
"I admit that strategically, the Battle of Liyuan was a victory for China, but what about tactically?"
"China lost one of its top three strongest armies, 100,000 soldiers, all of whom were at least mid-to-high-level mages, and thirteen extraordinary generals, including the marshal of the Heavenly Overturning Army who had already made his way on the forbidden path."
"What did the monsters lose? A brainless, stupid sacred beast, the Kui Niu, about fifty super-tier monsters, and over four hundred thousand mid-to-high-tier monsters."
"From the perspective of casualty ratio alone, China is certainly qualified to call the Battle of Liyuan a great victory. Even from the perspective of the strategy of protecting the country and defending against foreign enemies, the Battle of Liyuan is definitely not a loss."
At this point, Lin Qingyu changed the subject:
"But don't forget, China only has ten strong armies in total, and the strength of the Tianfu Army is definitely qualified to be the best among the ten armies."
"With the loss of the Heavenly Overturning Army, the strength of the entire Chinese military has been weakened by at least 20%, and the number of extraordinary mages has been reduced by more than 30%."
"And what about Warcraft?"
"Compared to the countless magical beasts in a magical world, what are a single sacred beast, fifty super-tier magical beasts, or four or five hundred thousand mid- to high-tier magical beasts? They're nothing!"
"The ordinary magical beasts that invaded Li Yuan were just a large number of cannon fodder gathered from the territories of the four sacred beasts—Kui Niu, Qing Long, Lu Wu, and Bee Queen—near the entrance of Li Yuan."
"Moreover, what we call an invasion was actually just being captured by Lu Wu using spatial magic and then scattered and thrown into the Li Yuan to cause trouble."
"While attacking the Heavenly Overturning Army, these magical beasts are also killing each other. In fact, the number of magical beasts that die at the hands of the Heavenly Overturning Army may not even be as many as the number that die in their infighting."
Wang Yi and Ren Tianque listened quietly without interrupting.
No one knows the details of this battle against Li Yuan better than Lin Qingyu.
Even the forbidden mage Qing Yuanzhong, who later went to provide support, was unaware of the entire plan of the monsters. All the results were deductions from later reviews.
Even though eighteen members of the Tianfu Army survived, these were soldiers who had not yet breathed their last, and were pulled from the battlefield by the medical team after the battle.
Furthermore, none of the high-ranking officers of the Tianfu Army knew about it. The only one they knew was Lin Qingyu, the commander of the First Division of the Tianfu Army. When the high-ranking officers of the Tianfu Army were gathered together for a meeting, countless magical beasts suddenly appeared, and the battle began without any preparation.
With the help of Uncle Xu's access, Wang Yi read the summary of information about the final battle of the Tianfu Army.
When the battle broke out suddenly, the Tianfu Army was essentially leaderless.
Fortunately, the regimental and brigade commanders reacted quickly, preventing the main force from being overwhelmed immediately.
Afterwards, several division commanders returned with their injuries, which gave them the opportunity to regroup the army, formulate tactics, and issue orders.
Only then did the soldiers of the Heavenly Overturning Army realize that their division commander, Lin Qingyu, had betrayed them, leading several sacred beasts and a group of super-level magical beasts in an attempt to annihilate the high command of the Heavenly Overturning Army in one fell swoop.
The marshal and several division commanders bravely stood in front to block them, allowing these division commanders to break through and preventing the Tianfu Army from being leaderless and being wiped out in a confused manner.
After that, the few division commanders who escaped allocated their main forces to resist the monsters, and also sent out powerful suicide squads to break through the monster horde's encirclement and ask for reinforcements. Only then did they manage to hold out until reinforcements arrived.
However, Qing Yuanzhong, who arrived first, was targeted by three sacred beasts as soon as he entered Li Yuan. He had no time to rescue the soldiers of Tianfu Army and ended up fighting with the three sacred beasts.
By the time reinforcements arrived at Liyuan, the Tianfu Army had already been completely wiped out.
This is the detailed record of the Battle of Liyuan by the Chinese military.
Wang Yi, combining Lin Qingyu's fragmented words, discovered that the records of the Battle of Liyuan in China were not significantly different from the actual situation.
However, Lin Qingyu's perspective is more unique because he possesses information that others do not.
"Is the number of extraordinary mages in China increasing? At least a hundred now, right?"
Upon hearing this, Ren Tianque immediately became wary: "Why are you asking these questions? Are you trying to find out the true strength of China?"
Lin Qingyu rolled his eyes at Ren Tianque: "If your brain isn't working well, use it less. Thinking too much will only make people laugh."
"You!" Ren Tianque felt a surge of anger.
Even if it's true, it's acceptable for Wang Yi to say it, because it's just advice and banter between brothers.
Lin Qingyu said it was pure mockery, how could Ren Tianque not be angry?
Moreover, even Wang Yi has never said such a thing.
"Brother Ren, don't take this guy to heart." Wang Yi stopped the enraged Ren Tianque and then gestured for Lin Qingyu to continue.
"Among the hundreds of extraordinary mages, are there some who have already transcended their original level and begun to believe that they are not the same kind of people as ordinary people, or even those low-level mages?"
"The dividing line between God and man may have already formed invisibly."
"How could that be! Even extraordinary beings are just people with some power!" Ren Tianque retorted firmly.
"With your personality, of course you wouldn't think that way, but you can't judge others by your own standards, you idiot."
"If all the extraordinary beings in China had your personality..." Lin Qingyu clicked his tongue twice, "Forget it, in that case, the future of China might not necessarily be any better."
"Even if all the extraordinary beings in China are selfless people with a strong sense of righteousness, a bunch of selfless fools are not necessarily much better than a bunch of clever selfish people."
"you!"
Wang Yi quickly pressed down hard on Ren Tianque's shoulder again, then said coldly to Lin Qingyu, "Get to the point!"
Damn it, does Lin Qingyu's new soul have some kind of venomous tongue? Every word he says is a direct stab to Ren Tianque's heart.
If this continues, he might not be able to stop it.
Lin Qingyu gazed at the dark night sky and said softly, "If humans are like this, what about the countless species of magical beasts with vastly different strengths?"
"Below the super-tier magical beasts, apart from mental magical beasts which are slightly stronger, the intelligence of the other magical beasts is not much different from that of wild animals."
"The death of 100,000 Heavenly Army soldiers brings grief to the entire nation; the death of 500,000 demonic beasts is merely death, not even causing a ripple. Do you really think these few sacred beasts will feel any pain?"
"Warcraft has no concept of national righteousness, no idea of sacrificing for the race, or protecting the magical world."
"Even if I abducted the Super-Rank Wood Dragon from Qinglong right in front of him, Qinglong's rage wouldn't be because his clan had been harmed, but more because he sensed unease, since he's currently very weak."
"Commonly known as, 'getting all worked up.'"
"Several sacred beasts joined forces to attack China, but it was only because the increasingly powerful human mages made them feel threatened, and they wanted to eliminate the source of the threat."
"Survival of the fittest, the law of the jungle, nothing more."
"Therefore, China lost the Heavenly Extinction Army, and the Warcraft lost a Holy Beast and hundreds of thousands of cannon fodder. From the perspective of the remaining three Holy Beasts, this casualty ratio is..."
Lin Qingyu slightly raised his chin, a smile playing on his lips:
"So, who won and who lost?"
