In a defeated battle, less than a thousand of the 30,000 demons escaped, and most of them were injured.
Lockett was the last one to retreat. Although he escaped, his mount was not spared and was chopped into pieces by more than a dozen heavenly soldiers.
His face was ashen. In the hundreds of years he had been in the army, whether he was a soldier or a captain, or later promoted to a general, he had never suffered such a big loss.
A lifetime of fame has been destroyed here, in the hands of heaven.
He looked around, his morale was very low, several generals were alive, the only one missing was Mei Li.
"Where's Mei Li?" he asked in a low voice.
A general shook his head and said, "I don't know. I just remember that she was the first one among us to escape, and she was never seen again."
"It's really too much. As a general, he only cares about escaping by himself. I will punish him severely." He said angrily.
"Really? How severe is the punishment? Tell me and I'll listen." Meili's voice floated over from the side not far away. She moved her legs and walked slowly towards this side and said: "The retreat order is from the general. You gave the order, but you didn’t specify how to escape. It’s none of your business if I escape. Hey, several of you were injured, what happened?”
Including Lockett, several generals were slightly injured. Although not serious, they looked quite embarrassed.
Not to mention that experience is very important. Meili has not been on earth for such a long time. Not to mention how much she has taken advantage of, at least she has learned how to protect herself.
In fact, her achievements are remarkable. Except for the Chinese Kingdom, she conquered almost all mankind. On the other hand, Lockett lost his troops in the first battle, and his 30,000-strong army was almost defeated at once.
If he wins this battle, he will unceremoniously attribute all Meili's previous achievements to himself and become the biggest beneficiary of conquering the earth. But now, let alone the credit, I guess Sakto Si had the idea of cutting him into pieces.
The total population of Crystal King is only tens of thousands. Excluding the old, weak, sick, disabled and underage children, they can gather an army of fifty thousand. Previously, Mei Li defeated seven or eight thousand, and then was defeated by Lockett. After losing more than 30,000, the supply of troops is almost exhausted.
"General Lockett, have you sent the battle report to King Sactos?" she asked meaningfully.
The old general was already wilting, and he still didn't dare to inform King Crystal of the defeat.
"How about I help you prepare the battle report?" She said with a serious face: "Don't worry, I will definitely speak from a fair perspective. Whoever is responsible is the responsibility, and I will never say a word."
"No need, I will report to the king personally." Lockett said coldly: "General Meili, I thank you for your hypocrisy, and I understand it."
"Whatever." She raised her chin and said, "In such a big defeat, there will definitely be a lot of casualties, and the old general will definitely bear the brunt. I would like to congratulate you first."
Congratulations, that's more than enough of a sarcasm.
Lockett was so angry that his teeth were itching, but there was no other way. However, a vicious thought arose in his heart: If I can't survive, I will have to support myself. At least I won't be lonely on the way to death.
In the dead of night, he went to the top of the mountain alone.
Meili slept soundly until someone knocked on the door outside the tent. She stuck her head out, stared at the visitor and said, "What are you doing, in the middle of the night? Are you looking for a beating?"
The person who came was also a general. He quickly explained: "General Mei Li, don't get me wrong. I don't mean any harm. I came here to tell you that Lockett, that old bastard, got us all into trouble. He made this failure It was boiled down to unclear intelligence, and it was said that you were responsible; he also said that a few of us were timid in the face of battle, which not only affected our morale, but also took the lead in escaping, and finally said that his command was incompetent, which led to the defeat."
"What." The female devil's eyes widened even more.
The visitor nodded and said, "I heard this with my own ears, and it is unmistakable. King Sactos was furious and said that he would kill us all as a warning to others. I have been secretly following Lockett. He and the king You can hear what you say clearly."
"Why would he do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit himself?"
"Maybe it's to gain backing. As the coach, he will definitely be punished. He probably is not willing to die alone, so..."
Meili's face didn't look good, and she asked again: "Does everyone else know?"
"I have already informed them..."
"Okay, even if he makes a false accusation, we still have a chance to appeal. At that time, everyone only needs to speak the same voice to avoid death." She said in a deep voice: "Tell them, this is a critical moment of life and death, and we must stand on the same front. Unless he is willing to be buried with Lockett."
"knew."
After the man left, she squeezed out a few words through her teeth: "Old guy, since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust. I will not let you die in the hands of the king."
…
The celebration banquet was very lively.
After the heavenly soldiers hunted down the demons, they withdrew their troops and returned to the heavenly realm. This was what Qin Feng admired the most. They retreated after finishing their work, hiding their achievements and fame, and not asking for any benefits from anyone.
Although there are still some remaining demons, the defeated group of remnants can no longer do anything significant. Crystal King's military strength is also close to being exhausted, and there is no way to send a third batch of reinforcements.
So although the celebration banquet was held a little early, it was well deserved.
The Chinese military immediately informed the Americans of the defeat of the demons, and ordered the multinational coalition forces who were fighting against them to lay down their weapons and return to peace.
Of course, if both sides are willing to continue fighting, China, as a kind country, will never say another word.
There were clinking glasses and cheers everywhere. Qin Feng and a group of cultivators became the focus of everyone's attention. Peach Blossom Brother Chen Jie couldn't smile from ear to ear. No matter who came up to propose a toast, he would accept them all.
Mr. Wei exchanged greetings with the military and political leaders, then walked over with a smile: "Xiao Feng, you did a good job."
"Hey, this is not my credit." He stretched out his arm to hook Uncle Lei Feng's neck and said, "If uncle hadn't borrowed the heavenly weapons, our country of China would have ceased to exist. If you want to thank you, you have to thank him."
"Thank you for your hard work, Director Lei Feng. I'd like to give you a toast." Wei Qingtian said sincerely.
"President Wei, you're welcome. This is what I should do." The uncle said solemnly, "Everyone has a responsibility to fight against the demons. The Chinese military has performed very well and is remarkable."
At this time, Qin Feng frowned and felt a familiar aura.
Looking up, he saw a blond beauty in an evening gown. Although she had been carefully disguised, he could still tell right away that it was Meili.
