Chapter 872 - 872: Not Worth Talking About
Before he could finish, Chang Ling snatched the right to speak. “Don’t tell me that you sent so many people to help us clean up the battlefield. Are you still prepared to split the spoils of war that our brothers exchanged their lives for?”
“But that’s not what the captain of the team said. If we hadn’t planted landmines around to prevent ambitious people from reaping the benefits, I’m afraid we’d be the ones suffering now.”
At this point, Jiang Huai knew very well that he couldn’t hide it anymore. There was no way to explain it, so he might as well admit it directly.
At this moment, the two people sent by Shan Yue also arrived at the designated place one after another. His subordinate leaned into Chang Ling’s ear and told him Shan Yue’s instructions, including Jiang Huai’s plan to die tonight.
“Alright, I understand.”
After understanding what Shan Yue meant, Chang Ling turned his attention to all the soldiers. “Brothers, reinforcements will be here soon. President Shan has already given us tonight’s mission. You can ignore the others. Jiang Huai must not be left alive.”
As soon as these words were spoken, they instantly resonated with many people below.
“We’ve been thinking about this for a long time. After the battle with Duo Feng in the day, he actually dared to send people over. Isn’t it obvious that he wants to start a war with us?”
“People like Jiang Huai are wolves in sheep’s clothing. They make it sound better than they do it.”
“Kill Jiang Huai with your own hands. No one is going to stop me.”
Even Chang Ling did not expect that Shan Yue’s decision would cause such a huge reaction in the regiment. Most importantly, Shan Yue was not a member of the regiment at all. This was the first time she had met most people.
In the mercenary group, Ye Ying gathered everyone at the last minute.
“Do you understand what I just said? If there’s no problem, lead the team and set off. We have to be fast. If we really fight, Chang Ling might not be able to hold on.”
As soon as Ye Ying finished speaking, he prepared to go back and change his clothes. This time, he was going to personally put on his armor and lead his men to fight.
Just as Ye Ying was about to leave, someone below the stage spoke.
“Boss Ye, we just experienced a huge battle. Why should we care about things that have nothing to do with us? That will only increase our burden.”
One of the soldiers mustered the courage to voice his thoughts. “And why should so many of us listen to a woman? Both you and the elders have more experience than her…”
“Shut up!” Ye Ying frowned slightly. His tone was very serious as he scanned everyone below.
“I don’t care if the rest of you have such doubts in your hearts. What I can tell you is that if not for Shan Yue, all of us would have died. You couldn’t even sit here and talk to me safely.”
Ye Ying would never allow anyone in the team to question Shan Yue’s decision. “If anyone doesn’t want to listen to Shan Yue’s orders, you can take off your clothes now and get out of this mercenary group. 1 definitely won’t stop you.”
No one had the intention to do so. The people who had just doubted her lowered their heads and sat back down.
“I, Qiao, am willing to lead the third team out.” Elder Qiao’s words broke the current stalemate and also gave Ye Ying enough dignity and face.
Then, more and more elders and captains shouted the same words as Elder Qiao. No one fled or cowered anymore. Because they knew Ye Ying’s words very well. Without Shan Yue, they wouldn’t be where they were now.
A few minutes later, the entire army gathered at the entrance of the regiment and rushed to the battlefield.
“Sect Master Jiang, it’s already come to this. Stop struggling. Isn’t the situation clear? You have nowhere to run.”
Finally, under such circumstances, Jiang Huai stopped pretending and revealed his original appearance.
“You’re just Ye Ying’s lackey. 1 gave you some face and spoke to you nicely, but 1 didn’t expect you to push your luck. Even Ye Ying doesn’t dare to talk to me like this now, let alone you.” Jiang Huai put on a condescending attitude, not taking Chang Ling seriously at all.
However, Chang Ling did not care about this at all. “1 hope you won’t regret it later and can still speak with such an attitude.”
“No problem. To tell you the truth, even if Ye Ying was standing in front of me now, 1 would still say the same thing. Now, all of you are simply like ants in my eyes. You’re not worth mentioning at all..”
