The engineering troops set up a power grid around Xishan and officially occupied this area.
Three days later, the team finished resting and continued southward.
At this time, the huge poisonous lizard man walked at the front of the team, Jiang Kai stood on its shoulders, followed by the mighty army.
As the former overlord of City No. 18, when the poisonous lizards appeared in the army, the situation changed dramatically.
Jiang Kai and the others didn't even need to investigate carefully. When the poisonous lizards appeared, the beast gods hiding in the darkness sprang out and fled quickly.
In front of the poisonous lizard man, the low-level beast god didn't even think about resisting!
When the army arrived near Baisha Lake, they finally encountered slightly stronger resistance.
However, Jiang Kai's side was already far stronger than his opponent. Once the battle began, it was a one-sided crushing situation.
The poisonous lizard man quickly killed the king-level beast god half-ape Minotaur here, and the battle was no longer suspense.
After just over two hours of fierce fighting, the human army annihilated 70% of the beast gods and successfully captured the Baisha Lake area!
It is worth mentioning that the poisonous lizard man not only showed a strong group attack ability, but also adjusted the composition of its poisonous gas. While causing large-scale damage to the beast god, it did not harm humans.
"I didn't expect you to be quite powerful in combat." Jiang Kai patted the poisonous lizard man on the head. The guy seemed to enjoy Jiang Kai's praise. He spat at Jiang Kai and lay down next to Jiang Kai to rest.
"Boss, this battle pet of yours is so powerful." Hu Yan came over, "Its poisonous gas combined with my Furious Wind Curse and Wind Whispering Curse killed at least one or two thousand beast gods!"
"Yeah, I didn't expect it to be able to change the composition of the poisonous gas and create poisonous gas specifically designed to deal with the beast god." Jiang Kai said.
"With this guy here, it can also be a powerful deterrent to the Beast God. The Beast God's combat effectiveness has plummeted." Black God followed, "Our casualties in this battle are much less than the last battle in Xishan!"
"Some people still died..." Jiang Kai lowered his head, "Heishen, how many of our people have died in total?"
"Forty-seven thousand, four hundred and twenty-one people." Black God lowered his head with a heavy expression.
Although the recovered army includes Jiang Kai, four divine beast groups and other masters, the most advanced individual weapons elemental cannon, and now poisonous lizard men, they still cannot have a 100% survival rate in the face of the ferocious beast gods.
From the battle in front of the Jiangzhong City Gate, to the Battle of Xishan, and then to the Battle of Baisha Lake, a total of nearly 50,000 people died!
Thinking that those who followed him would stay here forever, Jiang Kai turned around and left alone without saying anything.
Jiang Kai came to the shore of Baisha Lake alone.
The calm lake surface is occasionally rippled by the breeze. Near the edge of the lake, the water is crystal clear and you can see all kinds of stones at the bottom of the lake.
The reeds have grown very tall in many places around the lake, and only in a few areas can you still see the artificial lake embankment fence.
"Fifty thousand people..." Jiang Kai felt an indescribable feeling in his heart when he thought of this number.
At this moment, gentle footsteps came from behind.
Tang Caining walked to Jiang Kai's side and stood side by side with him, looking at the Baisha Lake in front of her.
"It is said that a few decades ago, Baisha Lake was a famous tourist attraction in City No. 18, and many people came to visit it every holiday." Tang Caining said softly.
In the past, Tang Caining didn't like Jiang Kai very much, and she always spoke coldly. It was rare to hear her such a calm voice.
It turns out that her usual voice is so nice.
"Jiang Kai, since this is a war, sacrifice is inevitable." Tang Caining looked at Jiang Kai.
Jiang Kai took a deep breath and sighed, "They came here because of me, but I led them to death."
"No! They are not because of you!" Tang Caining said firmly, "To be honest, from a personal emotional point of view, I don't like you."
"Perhaps to be precise, I might be...jealous of you."
"Jealous of me?" Jiang Kai looked at Tang Caining in surprise.
Tang Caining didn't meet Jiang Kai's gaze, she held her hands on the railing and looked at the lake, "Yes, it's jealousy!"
"I'm jealous that you can do what you want, I'm jealous that you can be emotional, I'm jealous that you don't have to follow the rules in everything."
"I'm not saying that it's not good to be in the Suzaku Group. The Suzaku Group gives me a sense of honor and accomplishment, but at the same time, we must also obey the orders of our superiors."
"People's choices are often like this. If you want to gain something, you must lose something."
After saying that, Tang Caining looked at Jiang Kai, her clear eyes as clear as lake water, "But no matter what, I did not join this operation because I admire you. I believe that many people do the same."
"The reason why we follow you is because regaining the lost ground is not only General Wei Ying's last wish, but also something we have always dared to think about but dare not do."
"They sacrificed themselves for their own ideals. This was their own choice and has nothing to do with you."
Jiang Kai frowned slightly. Although Tang Caining's words were not very pleasant, after listening to her words, he actually felt better.
Tang Caining suddenly turned her head and looked at Jiang Kai sideways, "If you really feel guilty, then keep walking!"
"Keep going? Of course I will, all three cities must be taken back!"
"That's not what I'm talking about." Tang Caining said, "Although I don't want to admit it, but... well, you are stronger than me and Long Xing. In my knowledge, except for the awakened people and survivors, or someone
These special beings, you should have no rivals."
"From an ordinary person to today, you have created a miracle."
"However, you should know very clearly from the ruins of ancient civilizations that your current strength is not enough."

"There is one thing that I have never told anyone."
"Every time I think about the destruction of the previous era and the terrifying enemies they faced, I feel incredible and even powerless..."
"But if the catastrophe really comes again, someone must stand up!" As she spoke, Tang Caining stared straight at Jiang Kai, her meaning self-evident.
"Maybe you can... do it!"
As a core team of the military, Tang Caining must know much more information than Jiang Kai only. She must also know about the catastrophe mentioned in the ancient civilization ruins, and she must also know that the catastrophe will come again.
Jiang Kai took a deep breath and said, "Since you told me a secret, I will tell you one too."
"I'm not an undefeated god of war at all, I've been defeated before!"
"Do you think you are the only one who finds it incredible and powerless?" Jiang Kai said lightly, "The more I come into contact with more ancient civilization relics, the more I feel how insignificant we are... There are new enemies popping up around us all the time. A
Stronger than the other, beyond my imagination."
Tang Caining frowned, "That's not what you said in the interview a few days ago. You declared war on hostile forces around the world!"
Jiang Kai smiled and said, "Yes, war has been declared. I want to avenge Lao Wei!"
"You know, the most amazing thing is that I constantly feel my own insignificance, but at the same time, there is always a big hand pushing me forward!"
"Just like a gambler, do you think a gambler is not afraid of losing? No! It's just that when all the bets are placed, he has no right to be afraid."
Tang Caining's eyes flickered a little, and the person standing in front of her now seemed to be a different person.
Everyone sees his beautiful side, but no one knows what he has endured.
Just as He Shishi said to her, what you see is not the real Jiang Kai...
