Chapter 505

“Major General Song!”

“Major General! Please, wake up!”

“Major General, don’t… don’t die!”

“……”

The moment Song Qi’s neck went limp, the Long Guo soldiers could finally hold back no longer.

They knelt on the ground one after another, breaking down in tears.

“Little Song! If you die, what will become of our Long Guo!”

“You cannot die!”

“I am guilty. I, Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Zhenlong, am a sinner of Long Guo for all eternity…”

Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Zhenlong’s right hand trembled as he stroked Song Qi’s face, which was still covered by his faceplate. In an instant, the old man’s face was streaked with tears of grief!

At this moment, what Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Zhenlong was thinking of was not the future of Long Guo, nor the consequences he would soon have to face.

He was crying, truly and genuinely, for the ‘death’ of Song Qi.

Watching the sorrowful scene before him, Errol cast a glance and saw that Song Qi’s chest was still rising and falling.

He blinked in confusion, his eyes filled with bewilderment…

“Everyone…”

“Why are you crying?”

“Major General Song, he has only fainted; he is not dead…”

Everyone: “（?_?）”

“щ（???）щ”

Upon hearing this, Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Zhenlong’s expression changed abruptly.

Oh, right!

Damn it, he had been so flustered by concern that he had forgotten to check if Song Qi was actually dead before he started crying!

Come to think of it, it was a bit embarrassing…

The next second, Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Zhenlong hurriedly reached out his right hand and placed it on the carotid artery of Song Qi’s neck, feeling a faint pulse.

Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Zhenlong’s face lit up with joy!

His old face instantly bloomed like a chrysanthemum…

It formed a sharp contrast with the grief-stricken expression he had just a moment ago!

“Holy crap!”

“He really just fainted!”

“Little Song! I knew it, you tough kid, there’s no way you’d just die like this!”

“Hahahaha!”

The soldiers nearby, who hadn’t even wiped the tears from their eyes yet, upon hearing that Song Qi was merely unconscious and not dead,

immediately squeezed out smiles brighter than flowers!

The speed of their mood swings was unbelievable.

It could only be said that they were so deeply concerned for Song Qi’s safety that they had lost their composure and made a huge fool of themselves.

As for Errol, although he had been through so much and had a very good impression of Song Qi,

he was not a Long Guo person after all, and he did not have such deep feelings for Song Qi.

That was why he was able to keenly spot the clue.

Seeing that Song Qi had only fainted, everyone couldn’t help but heave a long sigh of relief.

But immediately after, a grave problem appeared before them once again.

Song Qi’s injuries were simply too severe!

Although they carried some medical supplies, they were only emergency items meant for minor wounds. With a wound as gruesome and terrifying as Song Qi’s, there was no way to save his life without immediate surgery!

Furthermore, since Song Qi had appeared here, it meant that the Freedom Nation’s army must be arriving soon!

There was not much time left for them…

Even if they managed to escape this place by luck, the Freedom Nation would surely scour the earth within their sphere of influence to eliminate them.

Simply put.

They had to carry the heavily wounded Song Qi and bypass heavy guards from the Freedom Nation’s rear!

And finally reach their own territory!

Moreover, they had to race against time; they could not afford to drag their feet.

Otherwise, given Song Qi’s current injuries, he might never wake up again during the escape…

Thinking of this.

Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Zhenlong’s brows furrowed instantly.

The joy in his heart vanished without a trace, replaced by an unprecedented gravity.

No matter how one looked at it, this was an impossible mission!

Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Zhenlong did not issue orders immediately.

Instead, he silently joined the ranks of the soldiers, spontaneously taking out all the medical supplies they had to simply clean and bandage Song Qi’s wounds.

Then, they fashioned a sturdy stretcher and placed the unconscious Song Qi onto it.

Only after finishing all this did Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Zhenlong let out a long breath and speak loudly to everyone.

“Soldiers!”

“Major General Song is completely unconscious! We all owe our lives to him!”

“The most difficult challenge has already been shouldered by the Major General for us!”

“Now, it is our turn to save Major General Song!”

“The road ahead! There will be endless enemy troops blocking our way!”

“There will be unimaginable hardships and obstacles!”

“Any one of us might sacrifice ourselves in the coming war! But even if we fight to the last man, we must send Major General Song back to a safe place!”

“Everyone! Can you do it?”

Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Zhenlong’s roar was deafening, echoing through the clouds!

The soldiers’ response was equally resolute!

“We guarantee to complete the mission!”

“Even if we fight to the last man, we will definitely protect Major General Song!”

At this moment, even though Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Zhenlong had not explicitly revealed Song Qi’s identity,

the Long Guo soldiers present were all sharp-minded individuals who had long since guessed Song Qi’s true identity!

Now, every Long Guo soldier on the scene was willing to offer their heart for Song Qi!

Watching the scene of unity before him, Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Zhenlong nodded with satisfaction.

Just as he was about to order the army to set off, a timid voice came from the corner.

“General Wang…”

“I… I know a mountain path, very remote, with poor geographical conditions. I assume there won’t be any Freedom Nation soldiers guarding it…”

“It’s just… the road is difficult and hard to travel…”

As soon as Errol said this, the Long Guo soldiers immediately perked up, their eyes flashing with an incredible, intense light!

“Holy crap? For real!”

“Errol, do you really know such a path?”

“Hahahaha! Errol, if we can successfully return, you will be a great hero of our Long Guo!”

“……”

As the soldiers’ excited voices came, Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Zhenlong’s heart also gave a sudden jolt.

However, he did not respond immediately, only staring intently at Errol, his gaze so sharp it seemed to pierce through Errol’s soul.

“State your conditions!”

Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Zhenlong’s voice came, devoid of any emotion.

For Errol to say such things at a time like this, he must have come with conditions!

And no matter what conditions the other party set, they had no room to bargain!

Errol was a smart man; he surely wouldn’t miss this golden opportunity to fleece them…

Feeling Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Zhenlong’s sharp gaze, Errol’s body trembled violently.

He paused, then hurriedly waved his hands, explaining.

“No… General Wang, you’ve misunderstood!”

“There are no conditions!”

“The Major General saving me from the Freedom Nation’s encirclement already saved my life!”

“There is an old saying in Long Guo: a drop of kindness should be repaid with a gushing spring! If I, Errol, were to take advantage of this situation, I wouldn’t be much of a person!”

Looking at Errol’s sincere expression.

Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Zhenlong nodded.

He couldn’t help but think more highly of Errol.

Not blinded by greed, nor kicking them while they were down at the most critical moment.

This Errol was worth befriending!

At this moment, in Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Zhenlong’s heart, he finally truly accepted this dark-skinned young man…
