Chapter 1585: Total annihilation!
The news of Lu Zhanjun's death and the loss of one thousand soldiers from the Cataclysmic Front was like a bolt from the blue for the commander of the attacking forces!
It wasn't that he cared about the lives of Lu Zhanjun and the Cataclysmic Front soldiers; rather, he felt that if even the Cataclysmic Front couldn't take Hamid's fortifications, his own band of losers had even less hope.
Moreover, he had only brought a little over five thousand soldiers in total. Nearly two thousand had died in two rounds of charges, and the Cataclysmic Front had lost fifteen hundred men. Their actual combat effectiveness had already been cut by more than half!
What was even more serious was that after two charges, his soldiers had clearly realized that relying on flesh and blood to take Hamid's positions was almost impossible. Having witnessed so many comrades die in those two charges, they were each filled with fear of charging.
At a time like this, morale was extremely low. If he forcibly organized a third charge, it would serve no purpose other than sending them to their deaths.
Therefore, he also clearly understood that he had no chance of taking Hamid this time.
Consequently, he immediately reported the battle situation here to his superiors and requested approval to withdraw his troops for rest and reorganization.
When his superior heard the battle report, he was furious!
The many victories over the past few days had long filled him with expectations for clearing out the opposition, and he firmly believed that this goal would be achieved soon.
But he hadn't expected that, all of a sudden, reality would deal him a heavy blow.
In a single battle, without even seeing the enemy, his side had already suffered over three thousand deaths. This was truly unacceptable.
What was even more incomprehensible was that Lu Zhanjun, who had previously led these two thousand-plus Cataclysmic Front soldiers to consecutive victories, was seen by these local commanders as an invincible super War God.
Who could have imagined that such a super War God would just die like that...
In his anger, he immediately synchronized this news with Chen Zhonglei, one of the four Great War Kings of the Cataclysmic Front.
At this moment, Chen Zhonglei was in Damascus waiting for the results from the Cataclysmic Front's four battlefronts. Suddenly receiving the news of Lu Zhanjun's death, he found it completely unbelievable. It wasn't until the other party sent him the video taken by the scouts that he had to accept this reality.
A small-scale offensive battle resulting in the deaths of over fifteen hundred brothers and a Five-Star War General was a first since the founding of the Cataclysmic Front.
Chen Zhonglei truly couldn't understand why an opposition armed force occupying a mountain could possess such powerful combat capability. He felt this matter was extremely bizarre, so he didn't dare to delay and hurriedly made a phone call, preparing to report this period's events to the Master of the Cataclysmic Front, Wan Pojun.
At this time, Wan Pojun was at the dining table of the Xiao family villa in Su Hang, drinking and chatting with Su Chengfeng.
Don't look at Su Chengfeng as the dignified head of the Su family; when this old thing really started acting like a sycophant, his level and attainments were extremely high.
Originally, Wan Pojun had opinions about this old guy. After all, he had indeed looked down on his father back then. If it weren't for the sake of Su Shoudao, Wan Pojun wouldn't even have bothered to eat and drink with him.
However, as soon as this old guy sat at the table, he began all sorts of flattery and praise. Wan Pojun was able to remain calm at first, but soon he began to feel a bit carried away.
For someone like Wan Pojun, having endured humiliation for so many years, his bones were indeed quite repressed.
The more someone like this is, the more they need an opportunity to release, and the more they need others to know their abilities and give them affirmation and praise.
Therefore, when he discovered that Su Chengfeng, the head of the Su family who used to make his father not even dare to breathe loudly in front of him, was now being servile and extremely fawning toward him, his heart, which had been repressed for years due to failing to avenge his parents, also received great satisfaction.
Unlike Wan Pojun, at this moment, Su Chengfeng's heart was already filled with shame.
He hadn't fawned over anyone since he was young, and from middle age onwards, he was admired by all.
But who could have imagined that he, who had been arrogant his whole life, would be servile to a young man in his 20s in his later years.
This feeling hurt his self-esteem, but he had to continue maintaining this fawning face because he urgently needed Wan Pojun to help him solve a series of troubles before him.
Thus, after three rounds of drinks, he again took the initiative to raise his glass, smiling apologetically: "Come, Pojun, let me toast you again. With this drink, I wish you victory on the day of Qingming Festival at Mount Ye Ling! Thoroughly avenging your parents for what happened back then!"
Wan Pojun toyed with the wine glass in his hand and said seriously: "Grandpa Su, it's not Mount Ye Ling, it's Mount Ye Ling! After Qingming, the entire Mount Ye Ling will be the cemetery where my parents rest. I will draw one hundred elites from the Cataclysmic Front to seal off the entire mountain, not allowing any idlers to disturb their peace in the future!"
Su Chengfeng immediately blurted out: "Yes, yes, yes, Mount Ye Ling! Once your parents' graves are moved to Mount Ye Ling, I will definitely go to Mount Ye Ling to pay my respects in person!"
Wan Pojun nodded with satisfaction and said: "If you can go, that would be for the best."
As he spoke, he said with great emotion: "Actually, my father mentioned to my mother more than once back then that every time he saw you, he felt a lot of pressure."
"Is that so?" Su Chengfeng asked with great surprise: "Why would Liancheng feel pressure when he saw me?"
Wan Pojun glanced at Su Chengfeng and said with some displeasure: "Because he felt that you always looked down on him! In your eyes, he was just a bad friend of Uncle Su, and the kind of bad friend who couldn't match up to Uncle Su at all and only lowered Uncle Su's status. Every time he saw you, he had that feeling of a poor student going to play with an honor student, only to be disliked and disgusted by the other party's parents."
Su Chengfeng gave two awkward laughs and hurriedly explained: "I think Liancheng might have had some misunderstanding about me. I was just not one to smile much back then and was a bit serious with everyone. Even with Shoudao, I pulled a long face all day long and rarely gave him a good look, so I definitely didn't mean to look down on Liancheng!"
Wan Pojun looked at him with slight surprise and said seriously: "But after interacting with you today, I don't feel that you are someone who doesn't smile much, nor do I feel that you are very serious with everyone. Could it be because I now have the strength my father didn't have back then?"
"This... cough cough... this..." Su Chengfeng stammered for a long time without saying anything coherent.
Wan Pojun's words plunged him into an even more awkward state.
He knew that Wan Pojun was mocking him.
After all, his attitude was indeed very fawning after learning that he was the Master of the Cataclysmic Front and that the Cataclysmic Front was extremely powerful.
To be honest, he was even disgusted by his own fawning face.
But what could he do?
For Su Chengfeng, the current situation left him no choice but to try every possible way to get closer to Wan Pojun.
Because Wan Pojun was about to attack the Ye family, and the Ye family would likely be finished soon. Once the Ye family was finished, his only hidden danger would be that powerful benefactor of Su Zhiyu.
Only Wan Pojun could help him with this matter.
Once Wan Pojun could handle that guy, he would have ten thousand ways to make Su Zhiyu return the Ocean Shipping Group!
At that time, the Su family would welcome a golden opportunity to soar again!
At this moment, Wan Pojun saw Su Chengfeng's old face flushed red, smiled playfully, waved his hand, and said: "Forget it, these are all things from twenty or thirty years ago, no need to mention them. In short, if you can go to pay respects to my father, I believe his spirit in heaven will also be a bit comforted." ===== CHAPTER 1586 =====
