Chapter 866: Her True Feelings

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Everyone looked at Huo Chen.

He was the central pillar of the army in the base.

As long as he was there, there would still be hope.

Huo Chen stood in the training field as huge raindrops pattered on his face. They felt almost painful.

He saw the panicked faces around him, but that did not cause him to waver. His steady composure had a soothing effect on his men.

“Song Shou!”

“Yes sir!”

“Prepare the men. We are going with Plan C.”

Huo Chen did not expect the deciding battle to happen so soon.

Even if the enemy attacked them at night, he would still be able to use the escape route to fight back.

Nevertheless, they had a traitor in their ranks, and one who held a very important position. That ruined his plans.

In the end, he had to enforce the final plan, no matter what it would entail. It was their last resort!

“Yes sir!”

As Huo Chen’s second-in-command, Song Shou knew exactly what Plan C was.

He immediately gathered the higher-ups in the army and relayed the details of the plan to them.

Even though the enemy had struck first, this was still their headquarters.

It was still too early to tell who would come out of this as the victor.

The soldiers at the base were divided into four groups. They would take advantage of geographical features around the camp and lure the enemy to the booby traps that they had prepared beforehand.

Nevertheless, the enemy seemed to realize their intentions and avoided all the traps.

Not only had the traitor surrendered the escape route to the enemy, he had also informed them of the army’s preparations.

At this point, the battle could only be decided by brute force.

It was going to be a bloodbath. However, due to Z Country’s traitor, the army had nowhere to retreat.

On the contrary, the enemy had more freedom in distributing its men. They held the definitive upper hand.

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.”
