Chapter 2459: Your Conscience Will Hurt

On the battlefield, Su Xiao stood on a war chariot, surveying the battlefield below. Around him were several hundred of his soldiers.

These soldiers' pupils were all somewhat blood-red, and their armor was stained with blood. Those sharp eyes were scanning the surroundings to avoid sneak attacks by the enemy's Holy Soul users.

On the battlefield below, after nearly wiping out the Storm Hammer Legion, their soldiers had lost nearly 8,000 men. The Storm Hammer was a very hard bone to chew. Although they only had a 20,000-man organization, their machine crossbows were too strong. Every round of volley fire would cause a large swath of their soldiers to fall.

Compared to the Storm Hammer Legion, the Peruvian Third Legion they were dealing with now was much easier to fight. The Third Legion couldn't hold on for long.

Su Xiao previously thought that the War Lord's attribute and morale bonuses were the strongest. Now it seemed that wasn't the case. The 'Bloody Battle' effect triggered after morale reached 100 points was the strongest ability of this four-star title.

After triggering the Bloody Battle effect, the casualties of their soldiers in melee combat were significantly reduced. When killing enemies, the soldiers had a not-low chance of absorbing the enemy's life force through the weapons in their hands, thereby healing themselves.

The healing effect wasn't exaggerated, but don't forget, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was near Su Xiao. It could provide an aura to friendly forces—a 700-meter aura, which wasn't large on the battlefield, with an actual effective range of only 350 meters.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang couldn't enter the battlefield. Various war weapons were bombing down on the battlefield. If luck was bad, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang would be killed instantly.

Xiang Bubu was right beside Su Xiao. The 350-meter range aura allowed the friendly forces at the rear of the battle line to gradually recover their combat power.

The Bloody Battle effect ensured that their soldiers on the battlefield wouldn't die, and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's aura allowed the heavily injured soldiers to recover their combat power.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang could open the aura for about two hours every day. Too many soldiers were enjoying the aura at the same time. No ability took effect out of thin air; the aura ability was the same, it just had very low consumption. Usually, providing an aura for Su Xiao, Amu, and Baha was no pressure for Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang.

Giving an aura to so many soldiers at the same time, Xiang Bubu could only open it for a while and then rest for a while. It was so tired that it collapsed softly beside Su Xiao's legs, looking completely drained.

Clang!

A short dagger stopped a few meters away from Su Xiao. The owner of the dagger was a slender female dwarf, who was looking at Su Xiao with hatred in her eyes, wishing she could swallow Su Xiao alive.

Bang, bang, bang...

The machine crossbow was triggered, and crossbow bolts forced the dwarf girl back. She stretched her slender index finger forward, pointing at Su Xiao.

Just at this moment, a soldier from their side rushed to Su Xiao's side. His body paused, and the spirit in his eyes quickly dimmed.

A dozen seconds later, this Holy Soul user was nailed to the ground and soon died completely. From beginning to end, she couldn't get within three meters of Su Xiao. Su Xiao promoted that dead soldier to a thousand-man commander, and the 1,000-gold-coin consolation money would be sent to the soldier's hometown in 8 days and handed to his family.

"Commander, the Peruvian Third Legion has been beaten back by our army."

A thousand-man commander knelt on one knee before Su Xiao, holding a dwarf officer's head in his hand.

"You are..."

Su Xiao didn't remember who this thousand-man commander was; he had too many thousand-man commanders under his command.

"My lord, I am Ulatai."

"Ula~"

Baha swooped down from the sky and landed on Su Xiao's shoulder.

"Ulatai, you are now a military guard commander."

"Ah?"

Ulatai was stunned for a moment, then immediately said thank you, my lord. This kind of officer who fought his way up didn't know how to say pretty words.

The Third Legion of Peru was routed by Su Xiao's troops, which meant that he had forcibly torn a gap in Peru's encirclement, causing the Peruvian side to lose their advantage of containment.

Su Xiao ordered Deputy Commander Aus to take people to charge horizontally on the battlefield, continuously expanding the breakthrough point of the Peruvian side.

When the sunset hung on the horizon, the war near Rongsha Fortress ended. It was Spring Tieyang who ordered the retreat.

Under the blood-red sunset, Rongsha Fortress was already dilapidated, and the area around the fortress was full of corpses of both their own and the enemy's armies.

Su Xiao didn't order his soldiers to enter the city. He divided 10,000 soldiers to clean the battlefield and 20,000 soldiers to gather the scattered Shayan soldiers, including Grand Commander Nieposuo.

As long as the soldiers were gathered and reorganized, Grand Commander Nieposuo would have to swallow his words even if he had something to say. If it weren't for Su Xiao coming to reinforce this time, the casualties of the soldiers under Grand Commander Nieposuo would have been very tragic. When Peru's subsequent reinforcements arrived, they might have wiped out or captured Nieposuo's troops completely.

Caesar and Aus were responsible for gathering the defeated troops, while Su Xiao led the remaining soldiers toward Rongsha Fortress.

Just as they arrived at the city gate, Su Xiao saw a team of soldiers in shiny armor rush out from inside the fortress. Surrounded by these soldiers, a man with a hooked nose, wearing a black velvet cloak and with thin cheeks, walked over.

"Kukulin, I'll remember this favor."

Nieposuo walked over with a smile. He was now very conflicted because this Kukulin Bai Ye, who was also a Grand Commander, had saved him once, but the other party had also abducted many soldiers under his command, and was still continuing to abduct the defeated troops in the surrounding area.

"They are all Shayan's troops. No need to be polite about such a small matter."

Su Xiao also spoke with a smile. If it weren't for Uno, he felt he could cooperate with this Grand Commander.

Su Xiao didn't continue speaking. He came to see Nieposuo mainly to stall for time. The soldiers under his command had died down to only 36,000+. This time they had fought too fiercely. Not only did they wipe out the Storm Hammer Legion and fight the Third Legion, but when it was about to end, Su Xiao's troops were ambushed by Peru's Male Sheep Legion.

Su Xiao discovered that even if the soldiers under his command received the blessing of 【War Lord】, their individual strength couldn't keep up with the Male Sheep Legion. That was Peru's most elite unit. The individual combat power, coordination, weapons, armor, and war weapons held by its soldiers were not something the soldiers under his command could compare to now. The most fatal thing was that the Male Sheep Legion was cavalry.

Once a head-on battle started with the Male Sheep Legion, the foundation he had accumulated would be completely exhausted. There were only two ways to deal with the Male Sheep unit: upgrade the War Lord title to a five-star title, or accumulate over 150,000 soldiers. Only by completing one of these could he possibly fight the Male Sheep unit.

Su Xiao was more inclined to upgrade the War Lord title. After he left this world, no matter how many soldiers he had under his command, he couldn't take them away, but the title would always belong to him.

In the silent atmosphere, a blue vein bulged on Nieposuo's forehead.

"Kukulin, that's enough."

Nieposuo meant: don't gather too many defeated troops. As a Grand Commander, he also needed face.

"What?"

Su Xiao seemed to have completely misunderstood, but in reality, he contacted Caesar, telling the other party to move faster.

"These are gifts of gratitude!"

Nieposuo gritted his teeth and ordered people to carry out large wooden boxes, which were filled with gold coins. A conservative estimate was over 10.

"I have other things to do, leaving first."

Su Xiao had the soldiers beside him carry the wooden boxes and walked toward the previous station.

When Su Xiao returned to the station, it was a mess. A military guard commander was standing on a high place roaring. Below the Grand Commander was the military guard commander, so this military guard commander under Nieposuo only glanced at Su Xiao and continued to roar.

Seeing this scene, Su Xiao spoke:

"Aus."

"Here."

"Go and detain him. The charge is..."

Su Xiao couldn't think of a charge for a moment.

"Attempting to mutiny?"

"Hmm, that's it."

Su Xiao looked Aus up and down. The other party's behavior made him a bit unable to see through.

"Subordinate understands."

Aus rushed forward quickly. Although he was short and fat, his momentum was very strong. With one kick, he kicked the military guard commander off the high place.

"Come, take him down! Throw him into the manure pit to let him cool off."

"I am... woo~ woo~"

The military guard commander was carried away with his mouth covered. Those kicking legs were his last bit of stubbornness.

A sound of wind came from the sky. A giant rock dragon flew over. This behemoth circled in the sky for a while before landing. The 'thing' Su Xiao was waiting for had arrived. He didn't have war weapons, so he would make one himself.

Su Xiao turned and walked into the tent. Just as he walked in, he felt something was wrong around him.

Spatial fluctuations appeared. A crimson water droplet condensed and expanded, finally forming a vortex. A frog crawled out of the vortex and spat out a note.

Su Xiao picked up the note and opened it. It read:

'Setting a coordinate on your follower, I express my apologies. I am the Battle Angel of Apocalypse Paradise, Morey. Escape this world quickly. Fei Shi is coming. She is the strongest rule-breaker of the seventh tier, and like you, she comes from Reincarnation Paradise.'

Su Xiao flipped through the note, and there was writing on the back:

'Telling you this much, you only need to have a little bit of conscience to save me. Otherwise, if you think of me later, your conscience will definitely hurt. There will be a heavy reward for saving me.' ===== CHAPTER 2460 =====
