Chapter 2283: Let us
Regarding battle, Cloud Peak's people were not afraid.
Regarding sacrifice, they never shrank back.
But when too many familiar faces and comrades died around you, that feeling—only those who had truly experienced it knew how painful it was.
If after a battle, half or even most of your familiar comrades and companions were dead, how would you face that sorrow from the depths of your heart?
Facing the Naga Legion? Many had been eager to try for a long time. They were strong, sure, but was Cloud Peak weak? In truth, if this war were fought on land, Cloud Peak might have already slaughtered these mutated lifeforms long ago.
The reason they were still rampant and troublesome for Cloud Peak was not only the Demon Whale's overwhelming strength, but also the ocean at their backs.
That was their home turf, giving them an endless supply of reinforcements, a place to rest and recover, and vast strategic depth.
But now, Le Dayuan's meaning was clear: with their total numbers inferior to the sea beasts, the unit carrying the bronze masks—the unit with one extra piece of equipment—would have to fight desperately, holding the enemy's strongest legion to create the best offensive conditions for the other battalions.
That often meant heavy casualties, even... total annihilation.
