Master Head of the Dragon Soul novel Chapter 772

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 blame 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 the commander, 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 blade unsheathed, radiating a cold gleam.

"I... I admit my guilt!"

Wu Yinglong's forehead was covered in cold sweat. Without any hesitation, he immediately slapped himself on the cheek and bowed, saying, "Dragon Lord, this defeat is my fault. I fell into the enemy's trap due to a momentary lapse in judgment and committed a grave mistake. I beg for the Dragon Lord's forgiveness."

Wu Yinglong slapped 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 blame."

Wu Yinglong's scalp tingled, and his whole body turned cold.

He was acutely aware that he had committed a grave offense as a commander, 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 blame and avoid death, still enjoying a luxurious life in the Fengdu Camp.
