Chapter 2315

"Everyone was running, so I led the Phantom Squad and broke out together with them.

"And our Phantom Squad drew a large amount of enemy pursuit, so you could say we made quite a contribution to the team.

"But after we pulled out, I realized that the squads of several families were almost all trapped there.

"After all, they were families…

"At the time, quite a few families had concentrated all their territory connection points onto the strongest clan head, or the most powerful lord in the clan, hoping one person could lead the others in evacuating.

"That way, they directly became the werewolves' priority pursuit target — wasn't that just asking for trouble?

"After all, catch one and you catch the whole lot. The werewolves pursued them madly — there was no way to escape.

"Even the clan heads couldn't shake off a huge pack of werewolves in pursuit.

"But I can understand it.

"They were families, after all — it's truly hard to abandon one's own family members.

"So when I saw the situation, I went back.

"Because I'm an agility-type, I'm very confident in my speed.

"After going back, I originally planned to bring out only two lords from each family, along with the other commoner dependents.

"After all, you can't bring too many lords — the more you bring, the more the werewolves can detect, and the more fiercely they pursue.

"I would also end up being chased by a massive number of werewolves, and I honestly couldn't guarantee I'd be able to evacuate under those circumstances.

"But when I got there, the situation was different.

"That scene…

"Partings of life and death…

"And they were vivid, real partings of life and death.

"Every family's clan head and elders had linked all their territories together, connecting all the territories into one enormous Territory World, determined to fight the werewolves to the death.

"Yet they pushed the children toward me — so many children were destined to lose their parents and become orphans.

"And each family only had two lord slots, so they kept yielding them to each other; some families even wanted to die together…

"Sigh…

"Don't think that because I'm usually blunt and bad-tempered, someone like me is actually very soft-hearted…"

"So, I just…"

"Sigh, I made a mistake…"

Shangguan Ting stopped at this point.

Zhao Chi was just hearing the crucial part and hurriedly asked, "Tell me quickly, then what? How did you make a mistake?"

Shangguan Ting shook her head, "Sigh, as a squad captain, I'm really not qualified — I'm far too emotional. This might drag down the entire White Tiger Regiment. It's my fault…"

Zhao Chi was a little annoyed.

He hated people who kept him in suspense the most.

Just when it was getting to the critical part, she suddenly started blaming herself.

It left Zhao Chi baffled.

Zhao Chi urged her, "Hurry up and tell me — what did you do? Why are you blaming yourself?"

Shangguan Ting said, "Don't rush me, I'm just about to say. Earlier, the fashion items and equipment you crafted — wasn't there a large batch shipped to the regiment commander's side? The regiment commander wanted to distribute the equipment, so he used the Pangu Axe to link territories with us."

Zhao Chi was taken aback.

How does she know those fashion items and equipment were made by me?

Was it a slip of the tongue?

Although Zhao Chi felt it was strange, he didn't interrupt her and continued listening:

"Although the connections between territories have now been severed.

"But I still have the Pangu Axe…

"So I also connected my territory into the territory clusters of several families, linking it with those families' territories.

"Then… I used the Pangu Axe to forcefully cleave open Regiment Commander Yao Feng's territory…"
