Chapter 943: Chapter 559: The Fall (Two in One)_2
“What’s happening!”
“How is it so fast!”
“I can’t even see its moves!”
“Damn! At this rate, we are no match for it!”
The soldiers of the Daybreak Organization were, unsurprisingly, at a loss against White Wolf.
Di Daozhang had not anticipated that White Wolf would pose such a significant threat to them.
At this point, he himself had no idea how to deal with such a terrifying creature, and could only watch helplessly as it gradually devoured his troop.
“What’s going on with you? Pull back immediately, stop advancing!”
Di Daozhang ordered again.
However, this time his command did not make a difference, as many soldiers had already fallen within the attack range of White Wolf, and once they entered, it was very difficult to escape.
White Wolf was seen tearing wildly into the Daybreak Troop present on the battlefield, and although they realized they were no match for the enemy, it was too late. Most soldiers could not escape, and soon there were heavy casualties.
Through the protection of a large number of their comrades, the remaining people from the Daybreak Organization slowly managed to escape the clutches of White Wolf.
From the accounts of those fortunate enough to escape, the recent battle was purely overwhelming; just in those few minutes, Daybreak had lost more than fifty warriors!
And now, all that was left of them were about a hundred people!
Di Daozhang’s heart was bleeding continuously.
This battle had concluded without them even touching a single hair on their adversary’s body, leading to the loss of most of their force. This left the valorous sixth team utterly dishonored, leaving him too ashamed to face other members of Daybreak!
“Captain?! What should we do? Our situation is extremely critical now!”
The soldiers below were also very worried.
How could Di Daozhang not know that he had fallen into a very critical state?
But now the manpower they had left was indeed too limited to operate effectively.
He now faced only two choices.
One was to flee the battlefield, where there might still be a glimmer of hope since, although the enemy was strong, they did not have enough forces to pursue effectively.
The second was to fight to the death right here, in a final stand with the soldiers of the 2nd platoon of the logistics company, where they might all go down together.
Di Daozhang did not hesitate for long, his strong sense of honor left him only with the second option.
Soon, he steeled his heart, and shouted loudly:
“Soldiers of Daybreak’s sixth team, I am giving you two choices. One is to fight to the end right here with me, defending the last shred of honor for Daybreak!”
“The other is to be deserters, flee now and become eternal sinners!”
“Choose for yourselves! I won’t interfere with your decisions!”
“I give you thirty seconds to think! We don’t have much time left!”
Di Daozhang’s face was resolute, showing a righteous aura.
The soldiers below suddenly fell into a silent contemplation.
But this silence lasted only a few seconds.
Soon, they unanimously cried out:
“I am willing to follow Captain Di Daozhang to death! I swear to defend Daybreak’s honor!”
The troop’s morale was immensely high.
Then, tapping into their last reserves of strength, they launched a fierce attack towards the 2nd platoon of the logistics company.
Qin Yuan observed all this, knowing that the opposing side was making a desperate attack, and realizing that it was not sensible for them to confront them head-on.
Moreover, White Wolf had already withdrawn from the battlefield, avoiding further entanglement.
“Should we play a cat and mouse game, Captain Qin?”
A soldier asked beside him.
“No hurry, let their momentum subside, and then we can capture them all in one swoop.”
Qin Yuan said in a deep voice.
His strategy indeed worked. Although Daybreak’s forces were brimming with vigor, they were, after all, only a bunch of beaten troops who could not last long.
They launched a frenzied attack towards the 2nd platoon of the logistics company, but the logistics soldiers completely neutralized it like sticky candy.
Di Daozhang and his team were infuriated, as their full-on attack had failed to even graze their opponents, which was truly infuriating.
“Captain! Our attack has completely failed!”
The soldiers below were also very frustrated.
Di Daozhang’s face was pale, and excessive toil had made him look very haggard.
Yet, he was still very anxious. Facing a great enemy, they were completely no match for the seemingly weak 2nd platoon of the logistics company!
“People of the 2nd platoon of the logistics company! Listen carefully! If any of you had even a shred of the will to fight, you wouldn’t be here, cowering like tortoises!”
“Summon your courage and bravery, and fight us in a battle to the death!”
Di Daozhang used all his remaining strength to shout towards the front.
He attempted to provoke Captain Qin’s forces with reverse psychology.
But Captain Qin’s logistics platoon was full of old bones; how could they be tempted by him?
They all listened to Di Daozhang’s shouting with keen interest, not moving a muscle.
Qin Yuan, however, let out a laugh.
He responded loudly,
“Is this your final statement?”
“How interesting. I didn’t expect someone from your organization to hold such deep loyalty and righteousness.”
Qin Yuan said with a light laugh.
He actually thought that people like Di Daozhang were quite unique in Daybreak, a hundred times better than the likes of Lin Hai.
It was a pity to settle this here.
However, this was a battlefield, not a place for sentimentality. The victor decided law, and Qin Yuan would not make foolish decisions out of compassion.
After the opponent made their fiercest attack, Qin Yuan saw the opportunity, and immediately began giving orders for a counterattack. Now, the resilience of the Daybreak forces had almost completely dwindled; it was time to launch the final assault.
“Charge! They are at the end of their tether, with fewer than a hundred men left! It’s time for us to reap the fruits of victory!”
At Qin Yuan’s command, the soldiers of the logistics platoon immediately took action, executing the final encirclement against Daybreak’s sixth team.
The troops split into two squads, flanking Daybreak from both sides, quickly enclosing all their men in the clearing outside the forest.
White Wolf also appeared from the shadows nearby, watching Daybreak’s men with a fierce glare.
Seeing this scene, Di Daozhang was filled with utter despair and began to speak in a grave tone,
“It seems we are destined to die here today!”
He let out a sigh of lament.
The troops of Daybreak, seeing their leader so disheartened, also felt their spirits dampen and ceased their attacks, waiting in place for the final judgment.
Qin Yuan slowly walked out from the midst of the logistics platoon, coming to the forefront.
He stared intently at Di Daozhang, scrutinizing his face, and said in a deep voice,
“I didn’t expect that you would be the most elite and most loyal troop in Daybreak. Though you’ve lost, you haven’t disappointed your organization’s expectations, nor have you failed yourselves. You are the pride of your organization; you die with honor.”
“Now, I’ll give you a chance to end it yourselves, as a token of our respect.”
Qin Yuan’s eyes were sharp, radiating an intense and imperial aura.
Seeing his expression, Di Daozhang could guess who he was.
He said coldly, “So, you’re the captain of the logistics platoon, Qin Yuan?”
“Yes.”
Qin Yuan answered succinctly.
“I’ve long heard of your extraordinary abilities. Humph, it’s an honor to fall by your hand today. You truly are an exceptional talent.”
Di Daozhang smacked his lips.
“Brothers! We are the pride of Daybreak! From beginning to end!”
With that, he pulled out a gun with his right hand, pressed it against his temple, and a gunshot rang out, slicing through the silence of the night.
He fell to the ground.
Di Daozhang died a hero.
“A true man.”
Qin Yuan said softly.
The rest of Daybreak’s men, shocked by this scene, lost all will to fight. Their leader had ended his own life; what more could they feel inclined to battle?
Some impulsive soldiers, following Di Daozhang’s example, bravely ended their lives on the spot, while others, whose resolve wavered, began to lay down their weapons, preparing to surrender.
Qin Yuan, however, did not drive them to desperation; he had their weapons collected and then had the prisoners from Daybreak detained.
What do you think?
