After traveling through time, I thrived in ancient times

Chapter 285 Return

The war ended very quickly. We were dealing with the contacts with Beidi here, but we didn't expect that they would also act very quickly.

Less than a day later, a letter arrived from General Zhou Yan, saying that Xi Yan had sent a large army to challenge the enemy at the border, and both sides had already started pre-war moves!

Shen Chenli did not reply to the letter, but led 50,000 people to Xiyan, and took two cannons with him before leaving.

It looks like he wants to end this battle quickly and decisively!

Yes, if we keep wasting time with them, they will be the ones who can't afford it in the end.

After all, those people have an entire country supporting them, but they only have themselves!

Thinking of this, Yu Tingwan felt that it was necessary to resolve Da Sheng’s internal troubles as soon as possible, otherwise, even if they were not afraid of these people at the border, problems would arise over time.

Thinking of this, Yu Tingwan was about to lead a team to find Song Shixu after confirming that there was no problem with General Sun and General Hongwu in the military camp. However, all the people she sent out came back.

"Greetings, Princess. Team Two has completed the mission."

"Greetings, Princess. Team Three's mission is complete!"

……

Yu Tingwan looked at the group of people who had arrived in time, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

Very good, the timing is just right.

They did not return to the military camp, but stood together in a cave in the mountain. This time, they did not come back like the previous group, where all the people came back.

Many teams suffered heavy casualties, and in some cases only one or two people returned.

Generally speaking, all teams have completed their tasks. Yu Tingwan checked and found that out of the previous one hundred people, only eighty-nine were left!

In other words, eleven people died!

The probability of sacrifice is terrifyingly high. When Yu Tingwan studied it again, he found that most of the people who sacrificed were those who had previously gone to Nanliang and investigated the underworld force called the Poison Doctor Sect and the Underworld Pavilion.

Thinking of this, Yu Tingwan sighed deeply. Sure enough, people trained in the army were not enough to deal with those sinister guys!

Most of these soldiers have received formal education and are very tough, but they are still not enough to deal with those sinister villains!

"Very good, everyone has completed their tasks very well. I will ask the prince to posthumously confer military ranks on those soldiers who sacrificed their lives, and their families will also receive the most appropriate care."

Hearing this, everyone was very excited, clasped their fists and saluted, saying, "Thank you, Princess!"

Yu Tingwan nodded, and then said:

“However, as we said before, this is a team battle. Teams that don’t return in full will be demoted to the barracks, and the prince will assign you tasks.

The remaining teams that have all returned will undergo the next round of training and testing. Those who successfully pass the next round of testing will be formally formed into a team and will be conferred titles by the prince himself. You will become the most elite and powerful team."

Although many people came back, only five teams of ten people returned completely, which means that only those fifty people could stay!

When these words were spoken, some were happy and some were worried, and the soldiers who had not returned completely were heartbroken.

They didn't want to, and they didn't want to give up their partners, but...

Yu Tingwan sighed inwardly at their expressions, then spoke:

"Don't be discouraged. This team cannot have only a few dozen people. You will have another chance. Protect yourself well. You will be given priority in the next selection!"

Hearing this, those who were about to be eliminated were delighted again. In other words, as long as they worked hard, they would still have a chance to come back here again next time and return to the elite team?

Yu Tingwan nodded to them in affirmation.

But what she didn’t say was that if she still fails next time, she will still be eliminated!

However, seeing that they have regained their motivation, I think it’s better not to say anything. People should have goals.

Look how motivated I am now!

After everyone was excited, they also thought of what Yu Tingwan had just said, that they still had the next round of tests.

Immediately, someone couldn't help but say:

"Princess, when is our next test?"

Yu Tingwan raised an eyebrow: "Why, are you anxious?"

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Yu Tingwan thought for a moment and said, "The test will be conducted later. If you don't want to be idle, you can follow me to the battlefield for a walk."

Before he could finish his words, they all said they wanted to go with him as if they were injected with chicken blood.

Reaching out to suppress their emotions, Yu Tingwan said:

"It's just that the enemy we face this time is different."

Just as he was about to continue asking if there was anything different, the soldier next to him pushed him on the waist. He looked up at Yu Tingwan, and the excitement in his eyes slowly disappeared when he saw her expression.

So, is that what they think?

"Princess, Dasheng really..."

Seeing Yu Tingwan nod, everyone fell silent.

They had known it for a long time and had prepared themselves mentally, but when the day really came, they still felt sad.

This was the country they protected with all their heart, but in the end, it was the country they fought so hard for that gave them the heaviest blow.

No one can truly understand their feelings!

Now they have to fight against the people they once protected, and they inexplicably feel a sense of sadness in their hearts.

Have their efforts been ignored by anyone?

Yu Tingwan suddenly said in a deep voice:

"You once protected the people of Dasheng! Every citizen of Dasheng will never forget what you have done, at least all the people here at the border will not forget it."

"Even if we really have to fight Da Sheng, we won't hurt the defenseless people, right? The people are not stupid, they know why. We have to find a way to survive, and there is nothing wrong with that!"

After hearing what their princess said, they suddenly understood.

Yes, they have always protected the people behind them, and now they will continue to protect them.

But, someone doesn’t want them to live, and you can’t blame them for that!

They just want to live a good life!

Thinking of this, everyone present clasped their fists and saluted, saying:

"Princess, I understand. Please allow us to follow you to the battlefield!"

Yu Tingwan looked at this group of more resolute warriors, nodded with satisfaction, stood up and said:

"Let's go and see the faces of those people today and see how they say white is black and black is white!"

"Yes, Princess!"

All the soldiers were filled with righteous indignation. The princess was right. They were the ones who made false accusations against them. It was so hateful.

They want to see what kind of words these royal family members can say to slander them and their prince!
