When Long Yi and Beitang Yu came out from the big military tent, it was already approaching noon. Both of them had been rolling about the bed for the entire morning. Currently, the soldiers of the Unparalleled Battalion that had went out to train had already returned. They were gathered together right now, as they prepared their midday meal.
After **, Beitang Yu looked even more beautiful and alluring. Her beautiful face was no longer ice-cold like before, and she emitted the aura of a sweet and charming young wife.
”My husband, it's all your fault. I can't even stand up properly now…” Beitang Yu grumbled.
”Why are you putting the blame on me? I wonder who was it that asked for more.” Long Yi said with a smile, and his big hand patted Beitang Yu's b.u.t.tocks.
Beitang Yu blushed and rolled her eyes as she said in a low voice, ”Who asked you to seduce me? If I don't blame you, then who should I blame?”
Long Yi was dumbfounded, but he held the waist of Beitang Yu and laughed heartily. This girl was truly ingenious, and Long Yi loved it.
”General.” Suddenly, a pleasantly surprised rough voice sounded from behind the two of them. Long Yi easily guessed who it was, it was Tyrant Bear.
Long Yi released Beitang Yu's waist before giving Tyrant Bear a light punch on the chest. He said: ”Tyrant Bear, are you doing fine? I heard that you were the one who killed the most enemies among the entire battalion.”
Tyrant Bear laughed and said, ”Haha. This old bear only knows how to kill. It is much easier compared to coming up with stratagems.”
Long Yi laughed and decided not to comment about Tyrant Bear's statement. Long Yi knew that Tyrant Bear was in no way considered fearless. Tyrant Bear was actually an astute man. He knew that Beitang Yu was more remarkable than him in commanding the Unparalleled Battalion, as such, he delegated his authority to Beitang Yu and focused on fighting the enemies.
”Tyrant Bear, throughout the war, how many men did the Unparalleled Battalion lose?” Long Yi asked.
”Till date, we, the Unparalleled Battalion, went through several campaigns. We were involved in both big campaigns, and small ones. A total of 1,568 soldiers died and there were 610 of them severely injured.” When talking about the casualties, Tyrant Bear had a heavy tone when he spoke about the casualties. All of them were elites of the elites.
”Are the works of reparations and compensation to their bereaved families carried out well?” Long Yi asked. The number of dead and severely injured added up to more than 2,000 people. The Unparalleled Battalion only had 20,000 people to begin with, 2,000 people were too many for the battalion to lose.
”Replying to General, everything has been handled appropriately. The ashes and names of the dead soldiers have already been collected. The seriously injured soldiers are already sent back to empire to recuperate. Pensions for the disabled and for the family of the deceased were three times more than the other legion's soldiers.” Tyrant Bear answered.
”Very good, you are doing great. Notify all the officers and men to gather after the midday meal. I want to commemorate the fallen soldiers. I want to let everyone know that the soldiers who have sacrificed their lives are the heroes of our Unparalleled Battalion. Our Unparalleled Battalion will forever remember them. I, Ximen Yu, will also remember them forever.” Long Yi's expression was solemn as he said these words. Long Yi never said that the soldiers died for the empire, instead, he said that they have sacrificed their lives for the Unparalleled Battalion. In his eyes, the Unparalleled Battalion was never fighting for the Violent Dragon Empire in the first place. The soldiers in the Unparalleled Battalion were only loyal to him, Long Yi, alone.
”Yes, General.” Tyrant Bear performed a military salute and left to notify his subordinates.
After Tyrant Bear left, the curtains of a military tent not far away from Beitang Yu's opened. Barbarian Bull, Nalan Ruyue, and Wushuang, walked out of the tent towards Long Yi. Long Yi had long since instructed Nangong Nu to call them over to the Unparalleled Battalion.
Nalan Ruyue carefully sized up Beitang Yu who was standing beside Long Yi and secretly gasped in admiration. Sure enough, not a single woman around her husband was ordinary.
”My husband, where did you go without waking me up? When I woke up, I didn't see you beside me. I was worried to death.” Nalan Ruyue grumbled in a flirty manner.
When she woke up from her sleep, she realized that both Long Yi and Wushuang had disappeared. She was left alone in the carriage, along with Barbarian Bull in the other carriage. She was initially confused and immediately began to panic. Fortunately, she saw a squad of Unparalleled Battalion soldiers standing neatly outside the carriage the moment she exited it. After hearing their explanation, she managed to calm down.
”Haha, I saw that you were sleeping so soundly, I couldn't bear to wake you up.” Long Yi smiled and pinched Nalan Ruyue's nose as he said.
”Hm. I'll forgive you this time. However, if you are going to leave me and go somewhere else in the future, you will have to let me know. Otherwise, I'll be extremely worried, do you understand?” Nalan Ruyue slapped away Long Yi's hand and snorted.
”Got it. In the future, I will definitely take you along with me. Okay, now, the three of you should familiarize yourselves with each other. You are close sisters from now on.” Long Yi smiled as he said.
All three of them were intelligent women. They already knew that it was impossible to monopolize Long Yi. Since that was the case, it was naturally for the best if they could get along well. They might as well cultivate their feelings for each other and serve Long Yi well together.
As a matter of fact, Wushuang, Nalan Ruyue, and Beitang Yu, all of them were women with a cold temperament. Normally, they would need a period of time before they could get used to each other. However, to Long Yi's surprise, it was as though the three women had a tacit agreement among themselves. In less than half an hour, they were able to get along with each other as if they had already been sisters for years. At the very least, that was what it seemed to outsiders.
