Chapter 373: Humiliation and Loss!
Translator: Lonelytree Editor: Millman97
The ease with which Saohuangâs platoon defeated them showcased their absolute failure. A failure of this scale was hard for anyone to accept.
âReport!â
At a time like this, a scuffed-up soldier rushed in. âSir, our opponent has broken through our last line of defense, weâre going down fast!â
âF*ck, 1â11 go kill them myself!â Yan Lu slammed on the table again as he picked up the drill-specific laser gun.
Munan stood in front of him and said seriously, âIâm coming with you, if we fail, weâll fail together!â
âLetâs all go then!â Everyone picked up the laser guns, prepared to have a last stand with their opponent. This might be a drill, but they treated it with the severity a real combat deserved. They were overwhelmed by grief and indignation facing this imminent lost. However, even with Munan personally leading, their loss was inevitable.
They were merely delaying their inexorable defeat. Their strategies were broken through before the war even started. They were destined to lose. When everything was said and done, self-doubt cropped up in Munanâs mind, but he quickly tossed that out of his mind. He was the commander. He was the only person that couldnât be affected by the defeatist attitude!
Plus, one loss didnât equate to total loss. The real drill was still several months away. However, from Saohuangâs team perspective, their opponent had already lost.
âThis is just a small drill, was it really necessary for Major Xi to enter the battle?â Saohuang sauntered towards Munan and commented with a nasty smirk. Compared to Munan, who had mud all over his uniform, Saohuang did not have a speck of dust on him.
Over the few days of the drillâs duration, heâd led his team from behind. He didnât once participate in actual combat. A contrast was immediately made between the two. Munan was the obvious loserâŠ
Such a loss was an unmitigated humiliation.
However, Munan kept his cool, his gaze as sharp as ever. âWhatâs wrong with entering the battle personally? Itâs my pride to fight alongside my brothers.â
Saohuang sneered. âIndeed, one must find pride even in losses.â
His words were dripping with sarcasm.
The commented irked Yan Lu. âFeng Saohuang, letâs have a one-on-one if you dare! This defeat doesnât define our ability, one of our men could easily kill any of yours!â
Saohuang shot him a chilling gaze and scoffed. âIndeed, your people are very impressive, so impressive that my men barely used their full might to crush the whole lot of you. Do you know what my platoonâs fatality rate is?â
Under Munan and his adjutantâs saddened gaze, the words floated out of Saohuangâs mouth. âTwenty percent.â
The faces of Munanâs group fell. Only twenty percentâŠ
While they had already suffered sixty percent loss and it was still climbing!
Such a stark contrast highlighted how severely they had been defeated. It was a one-sided slaughter. Facing such a startling statistic, Munanâs group barely had the energy to summon a retort. The atmosphere lowered even more.
Saohuang patted Munan on his shoulder with a condescending smile and consoled him, âBut donât let it get you down. This is a test drill, after all. Maybe next time you can turn the tables on us. Major Xi, good luck. At least give my men a challenge next time..â
