58 Depressing Victory (1/2)

When the Zombie Lord was hacked into pieces, the zombie horse went wild. They attacked the living being in their sight, no longer fighting in order.

At this time, Tang Shaoyang also went wild. He aimed only at stage 2 and stage 3 zombies. Letting his people take care of the rest.

As for the zombie warrior, they were able to put them down after a combination of great efforts between humans and apes.

The battle continued for the next three hours. With the help of the Fogged Ape Tribe, the zombie horde was wiped, indicating the first victory of the Tang Empire.

[Congratulations! You have completed the Quest to Conquest!]

[You have gained the rewards, Level +1, Skill Point +10, and 1 million Game Coin.]

[Tang Empire Castle (smart base) has leveled up! A new feature has been unlocked!]

[10 million Game Coin has been distributed to the treasury.]

Not only him, but the surviving people also received a notification. The rewards they got from wiping out the zombie horde.

However, none of them were happy about it. They had their heads hung low as more than half of them fell in the battle. Even Tang Shaoyang stood there without words or any excitement.

In his first battle, he got the result he wanted. They won but he did not like how he achieved the victory. He lost many people, indicating he was not good enough.

But he knew it was not the time to show his depressed mood. He had to lead the remaining people, making sure the same thing would not be repeated again.

”It was my fault!” A dejected voice entered Tang Shaoyang's ears.

He turned around and Zhang Mengyao was just as depressed as him. Yes, it was his general, she blamed herself for the casualties.

Tang Shaoyang shook his head and rubbed the girl's hair, ”All on me! I am the leader, it's me who is supposed to be blamed!”

”B-but… But it was me who made the strategy… A-and…”

”Stupid girl! I am the leader and I approved your strategy! Without my will, we will not implement your strategy, so stop blaming yourself! It was me who was incompetent!”

Zhang Mengyao shook her head, ”Please choose another to replace me! I don't deserve to be Supreme General!”

Tang Shaoyang fell silent when he heard this. Not expecting the girl to break at her first battle. But then, he realized that even though she came from a military background, it did not mean she had experienced the real war. Losing many people in her first battle as a general, it was enough to put her in a tough spot.

”Stupid girl! Let's talk out later! We have to go back now! The people in the base must be anxious!”

He decided not to talk it out now. It would be useless to comfort her now. She was in the state that she would not listen to anything he told her because this was the moment she felt guilty the most for the people who died in the battle.

As if Zaneos the Demon Swordsman could read his mind. He spoke to him.

—Don't bother to waste your time to summon another spirit. It will be for sure you will be able to summon a stronger spirit with a big sacrifice, but can you subdue it to make a contract?

—A stronger spirit also has high pride. You would not be so lucky to meet a spirit like me or Karan. You might lose your life instead, so just focus to get stronger before thinking of summoning another spirit.

—Tomorrow, we will start the training from the basics. You have the strength, but you are not able to use your strength properly! You were fighting with your brute force, what a waste of your strength.
