Chapter Summary
When Leopard King threw a punch, although Liu Ning jumped into the air immediately, he was probably injured at that time as well. After Leopard King threw a punch, the power could still exist in the air in the form of fluctuations. It was precisely because Liu Ning returned that these soldiers regained their confidence, and even if they had to walk back, they had nothing to fear with Liu Ning by their side.
Liu Ning carefully recalled when he had injured his heart meridian. Suddenly, he remembered one of Leopard King's moves. When Leopard King threw a punch, although Liu Ning jumped into the air immediately, he was probably injured at that time as well.
When Liu Ning unleashed his Explosive Fist, the Explosive Fist was based on the ground and then the power radiated outwards. However, Liu Ning could not do what Leopard King did. After Leopard King threw a punch, the power could still exist in the air in the form of fluctuations. That's when Liu Ning was injured.
However, because it wasn't a direct hit, Liu Ning was fine at the time. He never expected that his heart meridian would be injured now. Liu Ning shook his head speechlessly. A general-level ferocious beast is a god-level ferocious beast. Even if he escaped, it would definitely leave a mark on him.
Liu Ning and his team arrived quickly, but their return journey was slower because many armored vehicles had been damaged, and many soldiers had to walk back. If they hadn't encountered Liu Ning, these soldiers probably wouldn't have had the confidence to even walk. It was precisely because Liu Ning returned that these soldiers regained their confidence, and even if they had to walk back, they had nothing to fear with Liu Ning by their side.
Liu Ning had already told Wang Laohu that if they encountered any danger on the way, she would absolutely not be able to use her internal energy. She had suffered serious injuries in the city, and forcing herself to use her internal energy would not do her any good. Fortunately, they were lucky on their way back and did not encounter any powerful beasts.
If they were to encounter a ferocious beast at the level of a general, they would probably have to ask Zhao Min for help. Based on Liu Ning's understanding of Zhao Min, she would never care about their lives; at most, she would only save Liu Ning. That's just her personality. What do other people's lives matter to me? As long as I can protect the people I know, I've completed my mission. Don't talk to me about selfless spirit or dedication; those things are not within my calculations.
"We're finally back. Our army suffered heavy losses this time. We lost more than a million soldiers just on the outskirts. I also brought so many elite soldiers with me. The army in the city probably doesn't even have half of its original fighting strength. In addition, the secret base was destroyed. Even if the central base city allocates funds to us, it will take 3 to 5 years to restore it to its original state."
Looking at the dilapidated city walls, Wang Laohu was truly heartbroken. This army had cost Wang Laohu a great deal of effort, in fact, the efforts of two generations of her Wang family. In a single siege battle, they had lost more than 40% of their troops. Although many veterans remained, they were already stretched thin. Wang Laohu would be extremely busy when she returned, given the immense losses suffered by the army.
Liu Ning was also deeply saddened. Although he knew that the army had suffered heavy losses, he also knew that he was just a kid. He could give Wang Laohu some advice in other areas, but he absolutely could not interfere in the construction of the army.
The army is full of factions, and if Liu Ning offends a general with a single word, he will have a hard time in the future. He hasn't dealt with Kong Erlengzi yet, and Liu Ning doesn't want to create another powerful enemy for himself, especially when his body is not up to par.
However, seeing Wang Laohu looking somewhat dejected, Liu Ning had a thought in mind. He wondered if Wang Laohu would agree. If he did, it would greatly help restore the army's combat effectiveness. In the end, Liu Ning's sense of public duty overcame his selfishness, and he brought it up. Liu Ning also kept saying that he was not mature enough because of this.
“Wang Shuo, I do have a solution. The army suffered heavy losses this time and will definitely need to recruit a large number of soldiers. Our city is in the same situation. When the ferocious beasts attacked the city, many outstanding men lost their lives. So if we want to replenish our ranks in a short time, I have an idea. I wonder if Uncle Wang has considered those patrol members. I know there is an unbreakable bond between you and the patrol members, but then again, the patrol members are indeed much more capable than ordinary people and students. At least they have seen things outside the city.”
After Liu Ning finished speaking, not only did Wang Laohu show dissatisfaction, but the surrounding soldiers were also somewhat dissatisfied. The grudge between the two sides was not formed in a day, and it was absolutely impossible to eliminate it in a day. Judging from everyone's expressions, Liu Ning knew how foolish his suggestion was. Even at this point, humans probably could not cooperate frequently.
"Do you really think this is a good idea? The conflict between us can't be resolved in a short time. Even if our army agrees to accept them, I'm afraid the patrolmen won't choose to join the army. This is the deep-seated enmity between us."
Wang Laohu gave a wry smile. He was a very open-minded person and of course understood what Liu Ning meant. The patrolmen were indeed more useful than ordinary civilians, but the question was whether the two sides could cooperate. If these patrolmen were brought into the army, the two sides might engage in a major battle, and the losses would be even greater.
“I think it’s definitely worth a try. I know you have a framework above and subordinates below, so it’s difficult to implement. But I’m also a member of the military. Even if I don’t have an army under my command, I still need my own guard battalion. Why don’t you let me wade through this mess first? My guard battalion members are recruited from patrol members. If it works, you can also supplement the army in this way, at least don’t leave the army with empty vacancies.”
Having returned from Windmill City, Liu Ning knew how terrible it was for a city to be breached. His family and friends lived in this city, and he absolutely did not want the situation in Windmill City to develop to this point. Therefore, Liu Ning decided to test the waters himself and have his guard battalion pave a way out of the city first.
If the army is not replenished for a long time, the city's defenses will never be perfected. If the ferocious beasts attack the city again, there probably won't be many people left to build an outer defense line. This is the most annoying point, so Liu Ning must push for this.
