Chapter 678 Exaggerating battle damage and voluntarily surrendering

After ensuring that the night vigil and other matters were properly arranged, Darius returned to the rear headquarters in a hurry.

Swain, Samira, and Prince Paya have been waiting for a long time.

"How's the battle going?"

Before he could sit still, Swain took the initiative to ask.

Darius smiled wryly, and described today's battle situation in detail.

When he finished speaking, not to mention Samira and Prince Paya, even Swain was in disbelief.

Even though they were forced to retreat to the business district, they still had 10,000+ troops in their hands. After a while, most of the business district has already fallen? !

Especially the kind of weapon that Darius mentioned, they have never heard of it!

But the shock was the shock, they still didn't doubt Darius, after all Darius didn't need to deceive them.

"So now... what should we do?"

Samira asked bitterly.

No one spoke.

Even Swain, who has always been the smartest, is helpless at this moment.

He has lived and died for the empire for so many years, and has encountered countless powerful enemies.

But there has never been an enemy like today's Shenlong Empire, which made him unable to fight at all, and his heart was full of despair!

While everyone was silent, a sound of footsteps came from outside the door, but General Jess under Swain walked over quickly.

Looking at the crowd who were looking at him in unison, General Jess had a complicated expression on his face.

"The two consuls, Lord Samira, and Prince Paya."

He paused, then continued,

"Today's damage has roughly been counted..."

"Oh? How was the result?"

Swain asked softly.

"Nearly [-] soldiers were slightly injured in our army, and more than [-] were seriously injured... Another [-] soldiers were either killed or captured... or disappeared..."

"Now there are only [-] elites left..."

His words were like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of several people heavily.

The two corps combined nearly 20 soldiers and horses. From last night to tonight, in less than a full day, there were only [-] intact soldiers left.

If they hadn't experienced it personally, they wouldn't believe it even if they were killed!
Swain was silent for a moment, and asked blankly,
"How many casualties are there in Long Kingdom?"

General Jess glanced at Swain uneasily, lowered his head, and said in a low voice,

"About 3000 people..."

"hiss……"

Except for Swain, everyone else gasped in unison!
All the casualties of Guishuang's army add up to more than 6 people!
However, there were only 3000 soldiers in the Dragon Army, and the battle loss ratio was as high as one to twenty!
Such a battle loss ratio is too exaggerated!

Leaning on a cane, Swain limped to the window, looked at the moon shrouded in a tulle-like dark cloud, and remained silent.

"General Jess, could it be that your statistics are wrong?"

Prince Paya couldn't help but questioned!

"I'm pretty sure there's nothing wrong with the statistics..."

General Jess smiled wryly and shook his head, and added,
"Perhaps the loss of the people of Long Kingdom...not even 3000 people..."

Now Samira and Prince Paya looked at each other, but they were also speechless.

False reporting of military merits has been common in the army since ancient times.

But it has always been more to say, not less to say.

General Jess' attitude can only show that the fighting power of the Dragon Kingdom army has completely crushed the Guishuang people!
Swain only felt that his chest was filled with depression, like the full moon in the sky covered by dark clouds.

Although he thought that the gap between the two sides was huge, he never thought that it could be so huge!
There is no need to continue this battle!
Thinking of this, he turned his head, looked at the crowd with piercing eyes, and said,
"There is no need to continue the fight, send someone to surrender to the people of Long Kingdom!"

As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar in the room!
"Master Swain, are you crazy?!"

Prince Paya lost his voice.

"We still have 9 people, why can't we continue to fight with the people of Longguo?"

Samira asked.

"Yeah, surrender here, wouldn't we lose face in Guishuang! It would be better to die on the battlefield!"

Darius was dissatisfied.

Facing their doubts, Swain smiled lightly,
"No, I'm in good spirits, I'm not crazy."

"You have all heard such an exaggerated battle loss ratio."

"Even if we continue to fight, do you think we can turn defeat into victory?"

"It's just an increase in casualties!"

Swain raised his hand to stop Darius who wanted to refute him, and said in a deep voice,

"The reason why I surrender is because someone must go back and tell His Majesty the Emperor that we can no longer continue to fight the Dragon Empire!"

After hearing his words, everyone immediately fell into deep thought.

Yes.

Someone must return to Peshawar, tell His Majesty the Emperor what happened in Malakanda, and persuade him to stop fighting the Dragon Empire.

Otherwise, with the strength of the Shenlong Empire, I am afraid that the Guishuang Empire will become the next Dawan Kingdom!

Everyone was silent for a long time, and finally nodded.

……

Malacanda City Hall.

Looking at the resplendent palace, Guan Xing couldn't help but click his tongue,
"I didn't expect these Guishuang people to be so rich!"

"Tan Zhi underestimated the Guishuang people."

Cao Mao smiled faintly,
"Since the rise of the Silk Road, the nobles of Malacanda have imposed heavy taxes on the caravans that come and go, and they even sent troops to encircle and suppress those small caravans."

"Damn, I didn't expect Guishuang people to be so worthless! It seems that we are still robbing the rich and helping the poor!"

Guan Xing acted like he was filled with righteous indignation, which made everyone laugh.

Pang De suddenly shook his head and sighed,

"It's just a pity that I couldn't win Malacanda before nightfall."

"General Ling Ming is serious."

Jia Xu said with a smile,
"After all, Malakanda is the important town of the Guishuang Empire, and there are nearly 20 troops."

"The results of today's battle are already very brilliant."

While they were talking, Dian Wei rushed in quickly and whispered something in Cao Mao's ear.

"understood."

Cao Mao nodded slightly, then raised his head and said with a smile,
"General Ming, don't have to regret, your goal has actually been accomplished."

Everyone looked at Cao Mao in astonishment, not understanding what he meant.

"The news came from the front just now that the supreme commander of Guishuang's army has come to surrender in person!"

……

The hall is brightly lit.

Cao Mao sat in the high hall, looking at the Guishuang people who came in slowly.

"I have seen His Majesty the Emperor!"

Swain and the others bowed to Cao Mao.

The soldiers who were in charge of translation on the side translated the words of the two sides to each other.

"You are Swain, the consul of the Fifth Corps?"

Cao Mao squinted at the gray-haired veteran in front of him, and asked softly.
