Chapter 128 The West Armys Downfall (2/2)
The soldier in charge made a grimaced face. ”I do not know. But it would be best to be on guard.” He said. ”Everyone, be on your guard while putting out the fire.”
”Yes!” The soldiers that were tasked to put out the fire replied.

The sun had just risen up. After putting out the fire, a group of soldiers were remaining.
”Soldier, report!” The soldier in charge asked the soldier beside him.
”Sir, the casualties are big. I have sent some of my men to see and assess damages at the other side of the camp ane look for survivors.” The soldier replied.
”What about the one I ordered to survey around the camp.” The soldier in charge asked. It has been some time when he ordered those soldiers to scout the area for intruders. The group that was led by the soldier he ordered was big, so he was sure that if they encounter intruders they can subdue them easily.
”Sir, the general's wife just arrived at the east side of the camp and coming here now.” A soldier that came running reported.
”I understand.” The soldier in charge nodded.
Not long, the general's wife with the soldier escorting her, came on horse back.
”What happened here?!” The wife of the general was shocked in disbelief.
”Madam.” The soldier in charge greeted and bowed. ”A fire broke out in camp at dawn. We are still assessing the damage and casualties. May I know where the general is?”
The one in charge was wondering why the general's wife came alone with only one escort.
”Sir, we were ambushed on the road.” The soldier escorting the wife replied. ”The general and our platoon was left to fight them. I was ordered to escort the madam here to safety.”
”What did you say, ambushed?!” The soldier in charge shouted. Now he was sure that the enemy made a move against them.
”Men, let your guard up.” The soldier in charge shouted.
The soldiers around him pulled out their weapons at hand and put up their defenses.
”Sir.” A voice said. The soldier that was ordered to survey the surroundings was seen walking, limping towards them. He was covered in blood and wounds.
The soldier in charged rushed towards the wounded soldier before he collapsed.
”Sir, they are too strong.” The wounded soldier said.
'Cough, cough' he was coughing out blood.
”Save your breath soldier. Where are the others?” The soldier in charge asked.
”We...cough...out numbered them. B..But they..cough..are too...strong. Our comrades..they are...all dead.” The wounded soldier said between coughs. ”The enemy are monsters...cough... Sir run, escape now.” Then the soldier breathed his last breath.
The soldier in charge can't belive that the men around him now are the only remaining soldiers in all of the west army.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
”Who could have done such a thing?” The soldier in charge said. ”Cowards! They are cowards! Why would they do such underhanded tricks and not met us in the battle field?!” He roared in anger.
”You still talk of a soldier's honor to fight and die in the battle field. But what you are doing now is treason against your country.” The voice came from not far away.
The soldiers make their defensive stance towards the voice. They see a group of black clothed men with masks covering their faces.
”Your treachery doesn't deserve an honorable death.” It was Dimitri who said this.
