Capítulo 2146: Chapter 232: Rich Is Only Targeting the Demon Lord (4)
“No worries, no worries, we’re all family here, no need to be so formal.” The Third Prince, Shentu Jingming, waved his hand generously and then took out the Sky Mechanism Recording Disk and started recording in front of Yu Chi Wentian and the others.
“Greetings to the family of the Red Moon Demon Dynasty, this is the Third Prince of the Demonic Dynasty, Shentu Jingming. What you’re seeing now is the scene of a great victory.” The Third Prince held up the Sky Mechanism Recording Disk, capturing the surroundings, and said excitedly, “After a fierce battle by our Red Tiger Battle Group, we have finally pierced through the Demon Clan Allied Army and successfully joined our Demonic Dynasty’s retreating troops.”
Yu Chi Wentian’s expression froze. He was just about to say, “We’re not retreating troops,” when the Third Prince thrust the Sky Mechanism Recording Disk towards him, almost hitting him in the face: “Family members, let me first interview the leader of the retreating troops, Yu Chi Wentian. May I ask, leader of the retreating troops, what do you think was the main reason for your defeat this time?”
Leader of the retreating troops!?
Yu Chi Wentian’s face twitched, feeling on the verge of collapse.
He had painstakingly studied battalion command, worked hard to perform on the battlefield, and strived for Merit Points, only to barely achieve his current status and strength. How did he suddenly get labeled as the “leader of the retreating troops”?
However, perhaps it was the Third Prince’s exceptionally serious tone, professional wording, and that seemingly businesslike attitude, which inexplicably made him feel a bit pressured. He felt that he ought to defend himself and the Asura Legion.
Clearing his throat, Yu Chi Wentian said solemnly, “Our Asura Legion’s loss this time was mainly due to not grasping the opportunity in the battle. If we had attacked the rear of the Demon Clan earlier and joined forces with the Immortal Dynasty’s troops to annihilate the Demonic Clan, it would have been a decisive victory.”
“Then why didn’t you attack earlier?” The Third Prince’s “interview” question was extremely sharp, going straight to the core of the problem, “Didn’t you notice that our Immortal Dynasty’s defense line has been holding on for a long, long time? What were you waiting for? You, leader of the retreating troops, really can’t argue against the label.”
Yu Chi Wentian’s expression was awkward and indignant.
He wanted to defend himself but was worried and hesitant to speak.
But even if he remained silent, some of his subordinate generals couldn’t hold back any longer and mumbled out the truth: “It was the Little Demon Sovereign. As the Commander-in-chief, he repeatedly delayed the timing of the assault.”
“Yes, it was the Little Demon Sovereign!”
Once someone begins the discussion, it becomes unstoppable.
Following the first person’s lead, a group of generals and trusted aides began to reveal the actions of the Little Demon Sovereign, saying that he was the true culprit for the war’s failure.
Some even bluntly stated the Little Demon Sovereign’s intention was to deplete the Immortal Dynasty’s East Line Defense Zone’s forces, delaying the battle opportunity.
Because of all this, everyone’s hearts were filled with resentment toward the Little Demon Sovereign.
“Right, the Little Demon Sovereign is the commander of the retreating troops… by the way, did he really run away?” The Third Prince continued to fan the flames.
With these words, the dissatisfaction of the generals and soldiers was suddenly ignited, and they began to condemn, scold, and even curse the Little Demon Sovereign for deserting in battle.
“It seems Brother Chao Qianjue not only failed to grasp the timing of the battle but also couldn’t even time his escape correctly.” The Third Prince sighed regretfully, “If he escaped just a stick of incense, no, half a stick later, he would have seen the battle turn… alas, wasn’t this all for nothing?”

The retreating soldiers all looked at each other, suddenly realizing.
Their Highness, the Third Prince, made perfect sense. The Little Demon Sovereign really did run too early, running for nothing and gaining a reputation for betrayal and desertion.
Suddenly, many people quietly rejoiced at the misfortune, murmuring to themselves.
Little Demon Sovereign, oh Little Demon Sovereign, just wait for your bad luck~
Yu Chi Wentian also sighed heavily, shaking his head, extremely disappointed in the Little Demon Sovereign.
“Alright, alright, family members, this interview ends here.” The Third Prince waved at the Sky Mechanism Recording Disk and said, “Next, I will be quite busy, have to clean up the battlefield, treat the wounded, reorganize and absorb the retreating troops… talk later, the Third Prince loves you all~”
After that, the Third Prince shut off the Sky Mechanism Recording Disk.
“Wait!?” Yu Chi Wentian suddenly froze, dumbstruck as he looked at the Third Prince and asked, “Your Highness? The reorganization and absorption of retreating troops you mentioned… what does that mean?”
“As the Third Prince of the Dynasty, encountering my dynasty’s retreating soldiers on the battlefield, reorganizing and comforting them, registering them, and reintegrating them into the army, isn’t this my duty?” The Third Prince said matter-of-factly, patting his shoulder, “Rest assured, I will treat the retreating troops as my own, treating them the same as my army. Especially you, by the way, what’s your name?”
“Good, Yu Chi Wentian, from today, you are one of my deputies, Shentu Jingming. Rest assured, the treatment you deserve, I will provide, and I will not hold your past experiences or this retreat against you.”
Yu Chi Wentian’s mind went blank, feeling as if the sky was about to fall.
Their Asura Legion was no ordinary Demonic Dynasty army, but a direct army crafted by the Demon Lord at great expense of effort and resources…
And the Third Prince is going to reorganize it?
