Chapter 772 Dragon Lord, Please Think Twice
All the eyes in the vicinity turned toward Wu Yinglong, whose face had turned pale.
The Wu family had used their influence to shift the me for their defeat onto a few honest deputy
generals, making them the scapegoats and executing them as a warning to others.
However, the truth could not remain hidden forever, and it finally came to light!
"In the border battle, our hundred thousand troops suffered a devastating defeat, and thirty
thousand brave soldiers perished, leaving no trace behind."
Chu Feng''s tone was incredibly calm, devoid of any emotion.
But it was like the calm before a storm—a suffocating and fearful atmosphere that gripped
everyone.
"This defeat was entirely due to the mistakes made by themander, and you, Wu Yinglong, must
take full responsibility."
Chu Feng narrowed his eyes, scanning the pale-faced Wu Yinglong with a chilling aura, like a sharp
de unsheathed, radiating a cold gleam.
"I... I admit my guilt!"
Wu Yinglong''s forehead was covered in cold sweat. Without any hesitation, he immediately pped
himself on the cheek and bowed, saying, "Dragon Lord, this defeat is my fault. I fell into the enemy''s
trap due to a momentarypse in judgment andmitted a grave mistake. I beg for the Dragon
Lord''s forgiveness."
Wu Yinglong pped himself again, this time with even more force, leaving a bloody mark on his
cheek.
"I apologize to the thirty thousand soldiers who died on the battlefield and to the expectations of the
people of Xi Ye. I have let them down. I cannot escape me."
Wu Yinglong''s scalp tingled, and his whole body turned cold.
He was acutely aware that he hadmitted a grave offense as amander, causing the loss of
thirty thousand soldiers. Throughout history, such a crime would result in immediate execution!
It was only because he was Lord Ping Xi''s son that he could shift the me and avoid death, still
enjoying a luxurious life in the Fengdu Camp.
But if Chu Feng were to report this to Yenching, it would surely cause a national uproar. Even if his
father was Lord Ping Xi, he would not be able to save his own life.
He had to show enough sincerity and adopt the lowest posture in order to appease Chu Feng and
secure his own future.
Wu Yinglong pped himself again, this time with a fierce blow to his cheek. Blood surged, and he
wore a pained and sincere expression: "I beg the Dragon Lord for another chance, to redeem
myself and recapture the lost territory."

Chu Feng''s eyes swept over, shining like swords, and he casually said, "I will give you a chance.
But what about the thirty thousand soldiers who died on the border? Did they have a chance to
survive?"
"There must be an answer for this matter."
Wu Yinglong trembled in a low voice, "Yes, may I ask Dragon Lord, what should I do?"
"It''s simple; I will use your head to reassure the army," Chu Feng said casually, and then asked, "Do
you think that''s eptable?"
Chen Fengxing stepped forward, his gaze sharp as a knife, and his right hand slowly pressed on
the Blue-Point Sword, which symbolized supreme military power.
Wu Yinglong''s scalp instantly exploded, and the soldiers present were also shocked and in an
uproar.
Chu Feng was nning to kill Wu Yinglong!
"You... you want to kill me?"
Wu Yinglong retreated several steps in fear, his face turning from pale to ashen,pletely unable
to believe it.
He became increasingly ferocious and roared madly, "Who do you think you are to kill me? You
can''t kill me!"
"I am the appointedmander, in charge of the hundred thousand troops in Fengdu!"
"My father is Lord Ping Xi, Wu Zhenguo; I am the eldest son of the Wu family, and I am the future
heir."
The deputy generals present looked at each other and all knelt down, saying, "Please, Dragon Lord,
please think twice before you act."
