Chapter 919: Deng Jiaer Withdraws (Part 2)
Even though Deng Jiaer put the sword directly on his shoulder, with the sharp blade only a few fingers away from his neck, El still remained calm.
He still stared at Deng Jiaer in front of him with a sharp gaze.
As long as Deng Jiaer wanted, she could kill El at any time.
But Deng Jiaer did not take action for a long time.
After putting the blade on El's shoulder, there was no other movement.
She stared at El with the same calm eyes.
After a long time, Deng Jiaer finally moved.
She moved the knight's sword from El's shoulder, then put the tip of the sword back to the mouth of the sheath and put the sword back into the sheath.
"... Forget it."
"Killing you won't make my military exploits more glorious."
"I hate cowards and admire brave men."
"For your courage and eloquence, I will let you go this time."
After saying that, Deng Jiaer pulled the reins in his hand, turned the horse's head, and led the Delan Undead Team to retreat.
When retreating, Deng Jiaer did not forget to say goodbye to El:
"Goodbye, Sir El."
The retreating Delan Undead Squad raised a lot of dust.
The dust that almost covered the sky and the sun blinded El's vision.
When the dust settled, Deng Jiaer and her Delan Undead Squad were about to disappear on the horizon.
It was not until Deng Jiaer and the others completely disappeared from the field of vision that El breathed a sigh of relief.
"Really..."
El smiled bitterly and loosened his hands that had been tightly holding the reins from just now.
Since driving the thin horse under his crotch to Deng Jiaer, in order to hide the trembling of his hands, El has been holding the reins tightly.
Because of holding too hard,
El's palms are now red as if they are about to bleed.
Even though Deng Jiaer and the others have retreated, El's hands are still shaking with tension and fear.
"This kind of thing is really not something a human can do..."
"I'm so lucky that I can come up with such a trick to persuade Deng Jiaer to retreat in such a short time."
"Although I was able to persuade Deng Jiaer to retreat, a large part of the reason is that I'm lucky, but it's good that I can persuade him to retreat..."
El shook his hands vigorously to stop his hands from shaking so violently, and then he set off to return to the "empty" camp that was temporarily expanded behind him.
As soon as El returned to this "empty" camp, many people who had been lurking in various places in the camp immediately surrounded him.
The leader was Kuci.
"Bernard first class! You are so awesome!"
Kuci looked at El with admiration.
His eyes seemed to be full of little stars at any time.
"I stopped Deng Jiaer's attack alone and made her retreat!"
"It's nothing special." El smiled bitterly, "I was successful mainly because of my good luck."
"Deng Jiaer's troops were already almost unable to fight, and it was late, so I was able to persuade her to stop the attack and retreat."
"If Deng Jiaer's troops were still in good condition, she might not even bother to listen to my words and would just swing her sword to cut me."
"And I'm not as handsome as I look on the surface. I'm actually very bad."
After saying that, El loosened his hands holding the reins again and showed his shaking hands to Kuci.
"I'm not as calm as I look on the surface."
"After coming up with this plan, I have been nervous and scared until now."
Speaking of this, El sighed:
"It's a pity that I can pretend in front of Deng Jiaer and others until now."
Although El has been denying his credit, these people headed by Kuci obviously don't listen to El's explanation.
Looking at Kuci and others who were still looking at him with admiration, El sighed helplessly, and then said:
"I will not report what happened today. Don't spread it out, don't let other people know that I held talks with Deng Jiaer alone today and persuaded Deng Jiaer to retreat."
"Especially you, Kuci."
Except Kuci, the rest of the people are ordinary civilians. After the battle, they will return to their hometowns to continue farming and have no influence.
But Kuci is different.
Kuci is the second-class quartermaster in the army.
With his status, if he tells people about El's deeds today, then El's feat today will soon spread throughout the army and then throughout the country.
This is not what El wants to see.
The only people who know about El's feat just now are Kuci and these civilians who are present.
In other words, as long as they are not allowed to tell what happened today, no one will know about El's feat today.
Others will only think that Deng Jiaer suddenly retreated by himself.
As soon as El finished speaking, Kuci cast a puzzled look at El.
"First Bernard, why is that?"
"You stopped Deng Jiaer's army single-handedly, and saved our army from greater losses. Why didn't you report such a great achievement and tell others?"
"I'm not interested in fame or achievements." El waved his hand, "As long as Deng Jiaer can withdraw his troops and save our army from greater damage, that's enough."
"Ku Ci." El looked directly at Ku Ci with serious eyes, "Can you promise me that you will keep all the things that happened today in your stomach?"
Kuci felt uncomfortable with El's gaze.
After scratching his cheek with a distressed look on his face, Ku Ci said in frustration:
"……I see……"
"I will keep everything today in my stomach and won't tell anyone else."
After saying that, Kuci gritted his teeth and asked El in a sharp tone as if he was determined not to give up:
"Bernard, wait a minute, is this really okay?"
"You have made such a great contribution, but you took the initiative to throw away the flowers that should be your own."
"Is it worth it?"
As soon as Kuci finished speaking, El said without hesitation:
"It's worth it, why isn't it worth it?"
El chuckled a few times.
"Didn't Deng Jiaer retreat, greatly reducing our army's losses?"
"Isn't this enough and worth it?"
"Okay, let's stop the small talk."
"Prepare to retreat, Kuci."
"Our combat forces have been defeated and it is impossible for our army to do anything anymore."
"Retreat as far as you can. While retreating, also gather some remaining soldiers on the road."
"After we evacuate to a safe area, we can slowly wait for the central government's countermeasures."
"However, I don't think the central government has the time or ability to come up with new countermeasures now."
After saying that, El sighed with helplessness.
…
…
At the same time, Deng Jiaer and others were retreating.
