Chapter 866: Her True Feelings (2/2)

As the battle started in earnest, the encampment was filled with the sound of gunshots and explosions.

Even the birds in the forest were startled by the battle and flocked away to safety.

Wen He stepped out of her room and looked around her, but the perimeter walls were too tall for her to see outside the camp.

“Wen He!”

Suddenly, she saw Huo Chen rushing toward her.

She immediately went to him, looking nervous.

She eavesdropped on the discussion by a few soldiers outside her room earlier and found out how dire their situation was.

“You cannot just continue fighting like this. Why don’t you take some men with you and try to break through the enemy forces? There might be less casualties.”

“I cannot.”

Huo Chen rejected her idea, but did not explain his reasoning further.

This encampment was located close to the border between Z and T Country, a very important divider between the two nations.

If they retreated, T Country would lay claim to the base.

Z Country would lose not only their base but also the country’s land.

If word got out, the great Z Country would lose its dignity and standing!

This was a battle that they must win!

The worst acceptable outcome was to reach a stalemate and wait until enforcement from both countries arrived.

Their only options were to fight, or to negotiate for a ceasefire.

Otherwise, Z Country would lose all respect from the rest of the world!

They must not leave, nor could they leave the base.

“I will send men to get you out of here!”

“I’m not leaving!”

Wen He set aside the convoluted relationship between them and hugged him tightly around the waist. She looked up at him with a tearful face and sobbed.

“Huo Chen, let us leave this place together. Every minute you spend here is a risk to your safety. You can lose the battle, but you cannot lose your life! If the military wants to court martial you, we can just leave the country and never come back.”
