The once-empty temporary hideout was now filled with their voices, enough for some people to get the news.
Gu Tong was wiping a scalpel when she suddenly heard the news and almost lost her grip on the knife. Her hand shook, and the sharp tip sliced her finger.
"Tong, are you alright..."
Xie Yongfei saw this happen and came running over from nearby, his heart in his throat, secretly guessing if Tong was just too tired...
However, Gu Tong didn’t respond. Almost immediately, she rushed to the trainee who had reported the news, wishing she could hold the knife to his throat and said, "Speak! What happened to Li Yan!"
The trainee trembled, nearly scared out of his wits. This Royal Doctor was even more terrifying than the bandits...
Gu Tong glared, her white military uniform already stained red with blood. Her heart was in her throat; she wished she could rush out and fight. Seeing the trainee not reacting, she shouted angrily, "Speak quickly!"
She didn’t have much time; she needed to know the situation immediately.
The trainee swallowed but dared not delay. He understood the gravity of the situation and quickly recounted everything at the fastest speed.
Every word he said made Gu Tong’s heart pound, her anxiety overwhelming!
She had never imagined, even in her dreams, that Li Yan would put himself in such danger to protect the villagers. No wonder he got hurt; keeping his life safe was an incredible feat.
The trainee made it clear, and everyone on the battlefield listened intently...
The once noisy open space was replaced by waves of silence. The Devil King was in trouble, and this battle was equivalent to a loss. What would they do now...
"It’s over, it’s over... This time it’s really over..." Xie Yongfei’s legs gave out, and he sat down heavily on the ground.
The Vanguard Pinge Academy had already fallen, so it was only a matter of time before their Search Pinge Academy faced trouble. What they thought was a simple task turned out to be life-threatening and a one-in-a-million chance of survival.
"This time we’re really doomed..." The search team’s faces were ashen, thinking about the injured here. If the bandits found them, how could they resist? It was definitely certain death.
Moreover, there was no way to sneak out. The bandits probably set ambushes at every pass to prevent a surprise attack from the Vanguard Pinge Academy.
"Sir, what should we do now..."
The situation with the Devil King left them leaderless, so they could only place their hopes on Zhao Yong, the highest-ranking officer there, who surely could come up with a plan.
However, at the same time, Zhao Yong was also out of ideas. They were only following orders to search for the Pinge Academy and ensure the safety of the Academy. Now that the Academy had fallen, what purpose did they serve...
Suddenly, morale plummeted, and all the trainees were restless.
"What’s all the noise!"
A beast-like roar spread out, emanating from the wrath of a King, instantly intimidating everyone.
Gu Tong lifted her head, her dark eyes bloodshot. Her voice hoarse, she said, "The Devil King was captured to save villagers! The evacuation of the Pinge Academy was for the greater good! Why are you in trouble? Is it because you’re cowardly and afraid of death?"
Her aura was fully unleashed, with a strong sense of oppression in her every word and sentence, making people afraid to look up or argue. They even had the illusion that standing before them was not just a Royal Doctor, but a seasoned War God...
