Chapter 1973: Strategic adjustment
One by one, the team leaders began reporting their achievements and losses for this phase. The numbers each person stated weren't too large on their own, but when combined, they formed an astonishing quantity.
Xia Lei listened while comparing them with the intelligence obtained from Chameleon to determine if anyone was lying.
Fortunately, even if there were some discrepancies with Chameleon's intelligence, they weren't too significant.
This indicated that, at least up to that point, the people of Cloud Peak, including those who joined later, had maintained their loyalty to Cloud Peak.
Initially, this was what Xia Lei worried about the most.
If Ye Zhongming were still at Cloud Peak, this naturally wouldn't be a problem. No one would betray Cloud Peak Mountain Villa with Ye Zhongming there; they wouldn't even form such a thought.
But now Ye Zhongming had gone to the sky, to his true battlefield. Whether these core members, whose strength had been cultivated and whose characters were arrogant, would still maintain their initial loyalty, Xia Lei couldn't guarantee.
