Chapter 165: Transferring a Commander

After Yingzhou heard Cai Kun state the reason, he also understood why those soldiers wanted to stay away from him; indeed, he was the one most qualified to speak on that smell.

"Alright, stop worrying about those issues. Hurry and contact the rear now, tell them to continue transporting ammunition here. Since you said those Zerg have controlling Zerg, they will definitely prepare more for their next attack."

After hearing this, Cai Kun said to Yingzhou, "We have already contacted them, but the Zerg don't always launch such high-intensity offensives. Sometimes they just attack symbolically to see if our firepower is fierce, and then they retreat."

Yingzhou nodded and said, "What you say makes sense, but we should still prepare for the Zerg to strike again. Just like you said earlier, this Zerg attack was more violent than any before, and it's possible they might continue this kind of offensive next time."

Command Camp of the 78th Legion.

"Li Fan, are you saying that Yingzhou from the 13th Legion left with the transport truck that was going to deliver ammunition supplies to Position No. 10? He went to Position No. 10?"

In the command tent, Jia Zhenliang looked at the helpless-looking Li Fan and sat heavily in his chair.

"Yes, I originally wanted you two to meet first, but after he learned about the situation at Position No. 10 and the current crisis, he just sat on the roof of the transport truck's cargo bed. I tried to persuade him, but time waits for no one. After trying to persuade him a few times, I could only let the driver drive to Position No. 10 first."

Li Fan looked at the speechless Jia Zhenliang and explained helplessly.

"He's one person! What can he do by going there? He might be able to kill hundreds, or even thousands of Zerg, but against that terrifying number, it's just a drop in the bucket." Jia Zhenliang said irritably, then sighed and asked Li Fan, "Forget it, is there any news from Position No. 10 right now?"

"Not for the moment. Although we prioritized transporting ammunition to Position No. 10, if the situation at Position No. 10 is as they described in their communication, it is very likely that before our supplies arrive, Position No. 10 will..."

Li Fan stopped speaking there; everyone knew what this meant—that it would be overrun by the Zerg, and the area they were defending would face an even fiercer offensive.

Just then, a Guard walked into the tent. After saluting Jia Zhenliang and Li Fan, he said, "Regiment Commander, Deputy Regiment Commander, communication from Position No. 10. They say the Zerg have temporarily retreated and asked us to send another batch of ammunition supplies."

"What! They held it? The ammunition supplies arrived in time?" Jia Zhenliang slapped the table excitedly and asked with great emotion.

"The communication didn't say, but it looks like they held it," the Guard could only speculate.

"Send it! As soon as the truck transporting ammunition supplies to Position No. 10 comes back in a while, split half of it off and send another trip! If Position No. 10 is held, the other positions will be much easier to defend!"

Jia Zhenliang directly approved the ammunition transport communication and said, "Reply to their communication, tell them they must hold Position No. 10. If they lack anything, tell me, and I will handle it!"

After the Guard left, Li Fan asked Jia Zhenliang, "After the Commander of Position No. 10 sacrificed himself last time, Position No. 10 should now be led by three Captains, defending according to the deployment left by the previous Commander. If we want to hold Position No. 10, we still need to transfer a Commander there."

"Hmm, that is indeed correct. I will go look for one in a while and transfer a Commander there."

At this moment, a commotion came from outside the tent. Jia Zhenliang and Li Fan looked at each other and walked out of the tent.

Li Fan recognized at a glance that this was the driver of the transport truck that Yingzhou had sat on. At this time, his face was flushed, spit was flying, and he was saying something excitedly.

Jia Zhenliang and Li Fan only heard some words after getting closer.

"At that time, that big man told me to stop. I didn't want to stop at first, but his broad palm had already reached in from above, so I had to stop the truck and ask him what he wanted to do."

Speaking of this, the truck driver paused, looked around, and feigned mystery.

"Guess what I saw?"

"Guess what? Do you think we're three-year-olds! Hurry up and tell us, what exactly did you see?"

"Exactly, what happened back there?"

The surrounding soldiers asked anxiously. Everyone was curious: what did that 2.7-meter-tall strong man who followed the Deputy Regiment Commander back do after going to Position No. 10?

Seeing the anxious looks of the surrounding soldiers, the truck driver slowly spoke.

"At that time, he summoned many soldiers. Not only soldiers, but also artillery and cavalry, about 1,000 people in total. Then he directed those soldiers to support the two mountains at Position No. 10, and he sat back on the truck, letting the cavalry follow behind the truck."

"Hiss..."

The surrounding soldiers couldn't help but gasp. Good heavens, over 1,000 soldiers—how massive must his Spiritual Power reserve be to be able to do that? And there was artillery too? This must be a randomly summoned Back Spirit, right? I've never heard of a randomly summoned Back Spirit being this strong!

Jia Zhenliang and Li Fan were shocked in their hearts after hearing the truck driver's words, and then Jia Zhenliang asked.

"Are you sure everything you said is true?"

"For sure, I saw it with my own eyes, guaranteed true... really! Regiment Commander! Deputy Regiment Commander!"

The truck driver turned around while speaking. After seeing Jia Zhenliang and Li Fan, he was so scared that his voice rose quite a bit. He wondered why the surrounding soldiers had suddenly become quiet; he thought they were just shocked by those 1,000+ soldiers! He didn't expect it was because they saw the Regiment Commander and Deputy Regiment Commander behind him.

They were really disloyal. He had fresh gossip to share with everyone, but he didn't expect them to sell him out; it was simply inhumane!

Jia Zhenliang didn't have time to look at the truck driver's facial expressions and turned to say to him, "Follow me to my tent."

The truck driver had no choice but to follow behind Jia Zhenliang and Li Fan, and finally, he turned back to shake his fist at the soldiers who were watching him make a fool of himself.

After arriving at the tent, Jia Zhenliang sat in his chair, looked at the somewhat restless truck driver, and signaled to Li Fan.

After seeing Jia Zhenliang's signal, Li Fan walked in front of the truck driver and said in a calm tone.

"Don't be nervous, we are just asking you some questions. We won't hold you accountable for gathering to discuss this matter in the camp, but if you don't answer properly, then I can only apologize."

Seeing this, the truck driver immediately straightened his body and answered loudly.

"Yes! No problem!"

Seeing this, Jia Zhenliang said, "Tell me everything you just said from the beginning, as detailed as possible, including what happened afterward. Tell me everything you saw."
