In the main account.

Xiao Jue sat in the main seat with his arms on the table, while Yun Ju stood and cleaned and bandaged his wounds.

Sitting on both sides were Eunuch Wu, Yun Xin, and several generals.

"This time we are really grateful to Eunuch Wu for bringing the Dragon Guards and Phoenix Guards to support us. Otherwise, we would have to retreat another line of defense, and our morale would have dropped significantly, which would have been increasingly disadvantageous to us." One of the generals said with a thankful tone.

Eunuch Wu nodded to the general and then said, "The military report we received originally only reported that troops from the Ghost Continent and the Void Continent were attacking. We didn't expect that the Abyss Continent would also be involved."

Xiao Jue glanced at Eunuch Wu and said in a deep voice, "I guess these three continents have cooperated. The Dark Abyss Continent sent two million troops to the Xumi Continent, but I found that the decision-making power is still in the hands of the Ghost Continent and the Void Continent."

Yun Xin was surprised and asked, "General Xiao, what you mean is that these three continents seem to be cooperating, but in fact they are not compatible?"

"Yes, the Ghost Continent and the Void Continent are in the same group. They look down on the ninth continent, the Ninth Abyss Continent, but they need their military manpower, so under the name of cooperation, they let the soldiers of the Nether Abyss Continent charge into battle for them." Xiao Jue nodded and said.

Eunuch Wu frowned and asked in confusion, "How did General Xiao find out?"

Xiao Jue chuckled, "This is not difficult to find out. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and knowing your enemy will ensure victory in every battle. I have participated in these two battles, and I found that in every battle, the enemy's vanguards are from the Netherworld Continent, not the Ghost Continent or the Void Continent."

"The commander from the Nether Abyss Continent is actually willing to lead the charge?" Yun Xin was puzzled.

This person is either a victim who has been kept in the dark, or he is just ambitious and wants to show off his abilities.

But this battlefield is a place they are not familiar with, so the latter is unlikely. Yun Xin and Yun Ju looked at each other and had a guess in their minds.

"My people have already found out that the person sent by the Dark Abyss Continent is the Sixth Prince, not an ordinary general. Although I don't know much about the situation in the Dark Abyss Continent, but the reason why the prince was allowed to go on the expedition is naturally to gild him so that he can have a foothold in the court." Xiao Jue continued to analyze.

"It seems that the Sixth Prince has been deceived by the Ghost Continent and the Void Continent. He has no idea that it is the Nether Abyss Army that is leading the battle on the front line. This is an opportunity." Eunuch Wu pondered for a moment and came up with an idea.

Xiao Jue seemed to understand what Eunuch Wu was thinking, and said with a smile, "It seems that Eunuch Wu and I have the same idea."

Eunuch Wu smiled peacefully, "General Xiao thought of it before me. Since they are not getting along, let's make the rift between them deeper. It will be beneficial to us."

Xiao Jue nodded and looked at a general beside him. "General Tian, ​​I'm sorry to bother you with this matter. Spread the news that Ghost Continent and Void Continent sent the Nether Abyss Army to lead the charge. When the Sixth Prince finds out, he will definitely have a fight with them. This will buy us more time to recuperate."

"Yes, now their military strength is more than twice ours. All we need to do now is buy time." Eunuch Wu took a sip of tea and took over Xiao Jue's words.

Xiao Jue was slightly stunned and looked at Eunuch Wu, "Delaying time? Does Eunuch Wu know anything else?"

Eunuch Wu was slightly stunned, then slapped his head in annoyance, "Oh, I actually forgot such an important thing. Before I set out, the Grand Tutor had already dispatched a million troops to support us, but the Dragon Guard and Phoenix Guard were closer to here, so we got there first, and the other one million will probably take a few days to arrive. What we have to do is to delay time, firstly to wait for reinforcements, and secondly to give the Ever-Victorious Army more time to recuperate."

When Xiao Jue and several generals heard the good news, they showed joy on their faces.

"Great! The Dragon Guards and Phoenix Guards can fight one against a hundred. If we add these one million reinforcements, we will definitely win. This time, we will make sure the enemy has no chance of returning."

"Yes, one million Dragon and Phoenix Guards are enough to fight against the four million enemy troops. With one million reinforcements and the Ever-Victorious Army, we will definitely win this time."

The atmosphere in the tent reached a climax of joy, as if a victory had been won.

At this moment, a report came from outside the door.

"Come in." Xiao Jue saw that the wound had been bandaged, so he put down his sleeves and spoke to the outside.

The one who came in was the military advisor, Murong Zirui.

"Zirui? You've come at the right time. Let me introduce you. This is our army's military advisor, Murong Zirui." When Xiao Jue saw the newcomer, he smiled and introduced him to Eunuch Wu and others present.

Then he introduced the people present to Murong Zirui, "This is Eunuch Wu, the deputy commander of the Dragon Guard and the Phoenix Guard. This is Yun Ju and Yun Xin. They are all from the Divine Doctor Valley. Yun Xin is also someone beside the Queen."

After greeting each other, Xiao Jue immediately asked, "How is your injury? If there is anything, just let someone know. Why did you come here in person?"

When Murong Zirui came in, Eunuch Wu noticed that he looked pale, his lips were dry and bloodless, and his breathing was unstable. When Xiao Jue asked about the injury, he hurriedly asked, "Military Advisor is injured? What happened?"

Even if he goes to the battlefield, the military advisor will be protected by soldiers and will not get hurt.

Xiao Jue motioned for Murong Zirui to sit on an empty chair on the other side, and then said apologetically, "I was too stubborn about this matter. This was our first time fighting against the enemy, and we wanted to show off our national prestige, but we didn't expect that the enemy had twice as many people as us. We were outnumbered and fell behind. Zirui asked me to withdraw the troops, but I hesitated, so..."

After listening to Xiao Jue's explanation, Eunuch Wu sighed and said, "It's not your fault. The enemy is too arrogant. If it were me, I would not be able to bear it. General Xiao, there is no need to blame yourself too much."

Murong Zirui also spoke up, "I've said it many times, it's not your fault, it was me who was not prepared and was shot by the enemy's arrow. This matter has passed, don't mention it again, what's important is the future."

"If I had retreated earlier, you wouldn't have been hurt." Xiao Jue waved his hands, his tone heavy and full of self-blame.

Eunuch Wu smiled calmly, "General Xiao, no one is perfect. If you keep dwelling on your self-blame and guilt, it will inevitably interfere with your future decisions, which is not a good thing for a commander-in-chief."

Xiao Jue suddenly came to his senses and said, "Thank you, I understand."

"That's right. What we should think about is how to fight the enemy next?" Yun Xin added tea to a few people and said with a smile.

Murong Zirui nodded and thanked Yun Xin, then said, "I came here to report another matter. In the two recent battles, the Ever-Victorious Army suffered heavy losses due to the huge disparity in numbers. After this war, only 800,000 of them remain."
