Chapter 2001: Chapter 2102: Darzi Hits Two Birds with One Stone

Lin Youyong went completely mad. To him, this war was a joke, something that could be easily won.

But now the front lines have reported a loss, which made him look bad.

Failing wasn’t a big deal, but losing face was unacceptable.

"COM is full of bastards, they retreated without even informing us." Lin Youyong shouted.

He naturally wouldn’t attribute the failure to his poor leadership.

He picked up the phone and called the temporary commander of COM, Darzi.

"You bastards, where are your people? Why did you retreat without saying a word? What the hell do you mean?" Lin Youyong shouted.

Darzi snorted coldly upon hearing this. He was aware of the situation at the front and knew that Lin Youyong wanted to shift the blame onto him.

"Commander Lin, don’t shirk your responsibility, okay? Even if I didn’t inform you, shouldn’t you have known? It’s because you were overconfident." Darzi said nonchalantly.

"Are you saying this defeat is my fault?" Lin Youyong said furiously.

"Of course it’s on you, how could it be on me?" Darzi laughed.

COM and Wolf Fang never really got along, and the reason they came together now was because of shared interests.

Now that Wolf Fang’s troops suffered losses, Darzi couldn’t even hide his glee and certainly wouldn’t take any responsibility.

"Fine, fine, Darzi, you’re ruthless," Lin Youyong said and hung up the phone immediately.

He paced in his room for a couple of steps before issuing an order: "Have the frontline troops pull back."

At this time, someone stepped forward and said: "Boss, the enemy is barely hanging on, we can send more troops and take them down directly."

Lin Youyong said irritably, "Don’t you see COM’s people are lurking around, preserving their strength? If we take Lieyun City, they’ll definitely seize the opportunity to bite us. Follow my orders."

The person had nothing more to say and passed down Lin Youyong’s orders.

By now, the battle on the scene was nearing its end. The surrounded Wolf Fang troops, without reinforcements, eventually surrendered after a tough fight.

Xiang Yu’s troops started cheering. It was their first major victory.

Those who had doubted Long Wu’s abilities were now completely reassured.

"Dragon Leader, Dragon Leader..."

Everyone on the scene began cheering, thrilled to have such a leader.

At this moment, Long Wu, holding a large knife, was covered in blood, no longer resembling her once delicate appearance.

Just as the crowd was cheering, a sudden piercing gunshot rang out.

The cheering suddenly halted, and everyone blindly looked around, unsure where the gunshot came from.

Long Wu only felt a pain in her lower back, her entire body instantly lost sensation, and everything went black as she fainted.

Xi’er stood not far from Long Wu. When she saw this, she was completely stunned.

"Save the commander, hurry and save the commander," Xi’er yelled desperately, then ran over and held Long Wu.

"Commander, are you okay?" Xi’er nervously trembled all over.

All the City Guard Army members were infuriated; just when they were about to celebrate their victory, something like this happened.

"Kill them all, leave no one alive."

Someone shouted, and the City Guard Army members followed the order, opening fire on the surrendering troops.

It was impossible for Wolf Fang’s people to pick up their weapons again; they could only watch helplessly as they were killed.

Over a hundred captives fell to the ground in less than two minutes.

No one cared about their fate anymore; everyone’s attention was on Long Wu.

Long Wu was their temporary leader, and now without Xiang Yu, if anything happened to Long Wu, they would be left leaderless.

"Where’s the medic? Get over here now," Xi’er frantically shouted.

At this moment, someone came running with a stretcher and carried Long Wu away.

"Stick to Dragon Leader’s previous deployment and ambush well. I’ll take care of her," Xi’er said, and then followed the medics running to the back.

The soldiers were worried about Long Wu’s safety, but they also knew their battlefield was here.

Xi’er followed all the way to the temporary command post. When the doctor saw that the injured was Long Wu, they rushed over.

Upon seeing Long Wu’s wounds, the doctor’s face turned grim.

"How is she, is her life in danger?" Xi’er asked anxiously.

The doctor frowned and shook his head: "We don’t know yet, but the situation is very dangerous. Since the bullet went in from behind, if the spine is damaged, it could lead to complete paralysis."

Upon hearing this, Xi’er took two steps back in shock, unable to accept this reality.

"What nonsense are you talking about? It’s just a bullet, how can it be that serious?" Xi’er yelled hysterically.

The doctors saw Xi’er was agitated and stood there without saying anything.

"What are you standing around for? Start treating her! If something happens to her, I’ll never forgive you," Xi’er pointed at the doctors.

The doctor said awkwardly: "The conditions here are too crude for surgery. We must return to the base first."

"Why didn’t you say that earlier? Hurry up and let’s go," Xi’er shouted.

Now she wasn’t thinking of anything else, only wanting to save Long Wu.

Dusk fell, and in the rear of COM, Darzi stood by the window, quietly contemplating.

Someone stood behind him and said: "Commander, by doing this, we might have offended Wolf Fang. Isn’t that bad?"

"What’s bad about it? Xiang Yu’s people almost can’t hold on. As soon as it’s dark, we concentrate all our forces and start attacking; they’ll be finished," Darzi said confidently.

"But what about after winning? How do we divide with Wolf Fang?" the person asked in confusion.

"Divide?" Darzi sneered: "We took the city; it has nothing to do with them."

"But..."

"No buts. If Wolf Fang doesn’t let it go, we’ll fight them. Sooner or later, we’ll have to face them anyway."

COM had always been low-profile; now that their strength had developed, Darzi felt it was time to be tough.

At this moment, someone hurriedly came in to report from outside.

"Commander, we just received news from the front lines that the enemy killed all the Wolf Fang captives, and their leader was injured, their condition unknown," the person reported.

Hearing this, Darzi burst into laughter, then said: "Good, well done. What’s Wolf Fang’s reaction?"

"Their troops have started to retreat and have no intention of continuing the attack."

"These wastes, ignore them. Have everyone ready. As soon as night falls, we will launch a full-scale attack. This time, we must capture Lieyun City," Darzi shouted wildly.

His plan was brilliant. Not only had it hurt Wolf Fang’s vitality, it had also wounded the enemy leader, dealing a blow to their confidence—truly killing two birds with one stone...
