Chapter 1574 - 791: The Scheme Succeeded!

Chapter 1574: Chapter 791: The Scheme Succeeded!

"The older one gets, the worse their temper becomes. If it weren’t for the boss looking after you, you’d have lost your position as captain a long time ago." Captain Hu said somewhat irritably, seeing Captain Qian still treating him coldly.

"It was just that last time when rescuing you, I was a bit late, causing you to lose a few men."

"Is it really worth holding such a grudge over?"

This person called Captain Hu seemed indifferent to the lives of his subordinates, let alone others’.

Li Kui and Tyson stood behind Captain Qian, watching with their eyes on their noses and noses on their hearts, as if watching a good show.

As long as the team gets big, it’s inevitable that there will be conflicts between subordinates who don’t see eye to eye. It’s unavoidable.

Even now, in Lin Beichen’s Wolf Fang Mercenary Corps, although the leaders among the subordinates aren’t exactly enemies yet, there are those with good and bad relationships. As Lin Beichen’s Mercenary Corps expands, it’s only a matter of time before internal conflicts arise.

This is human nature, a fundamental problem hard to solve, so these things will inevitably happen.

However, as long as there’s a balance, it’s manageable, this is where the leader’s ability to balance comes into play.

From the current perspective, both Lin Beichen and the boss of the Phoenix Mercenary Corps are performing admirably in this regard.

Lin Beichen relies on his immense strength, while the boss of the Phoenix Mercenary Corps is more adept at using tactics.

At this moment, seeing Captain Hu and Old Qian arguing, the boss of the Phoenix Mercenary Corps wasn’t angered but instead showed a guilt-ridden expression and said to Captain Qian, "Sigh, Old Qian, last time’s incident was my fault. I didn’t send Captain Hu in time to support you, resulting in the loss of a few brothers."

"Boss, it’s not your fault." Captain Qian indeed bought this reasoning and quickly denied it.

"Then you’re still blaming Captain Hu?" the boss of the Phoenix Mercenary Corps continued.

"No... no, I just blame myself for poor command, causing the brothers to..."

The boss of the Phoenix Mercenary Corps didn’t let Captain Qian continue, interrupting him: "Alright, Old Qian, no need to say more. There’s no way to defeat enemies without paying a price."

"As long as there’s a battle, there will inevitably be casualties."

"But last time’s casualties could have been reduced."

"That’s why, Old Qian, I particularly value this quality in you." Then, the boss of the Phoenix Mercenary Corps looked at the captains present and said, "When facing any enemy, we must find ways to minimize our losses."

The captains, seeing their boss speak, naturally nodded in agreement: "Yes, boss, we will learn from Captain Qian."

At this moment, a slightly overweight man walked in from the door.

After entering, he nodded at the boss of the Phoenix Mercenary Corps sitting in the main seat, then looked around and said somewhat awkwardly, "Oh dear, made everyone wait for me again."

After finding an empty seat, he quickly sat down.

The boss of the Phoenix Mercenary Corps waved his hand, indicating it was no big deal. He knew well that this man was too obese, moved slowly, and wasn’t intentionally provoking everyone.

Then, he scanned the room and raised his voice: "Now that everyone is here, let’s discuss today’s events thoroughly."

At this point, the boss of the Phoenix Mercenary Corps had a sudden, exceptionally grave expression. If anyone dared to joke or cause trouble now, they might instantly bear the brunt of his fury.

So, everyone quieted down, all eyes on the boss of the Phoenix Mercenary Corps, seeing that everyone was sensible and nobody was causing trouble.

The boss of the Phoenix Mercenary Corps was named Ye Liebiao.

Ye Liebiao took a sip of water from the table, then solemnly said, "This might be the greatest challenge we’ve faced since the Phoenix Mercenary Corps was founded."

Everyone listened intently, eager to find out what had happened to make their leader, Ye Liebiao, speak in such a manner.

However, two people didn’t have such strong curiosity—Li Kui and Tyson, standing behind Captain Qian.

The reason for this, for now, remained unknown.

"Boss, what happened exactly?" A fierce and ugly-looking man with a scar on his face on the right side of the table asked, "Even our Phoenix Mercenary Corps can’t handle it?"

The boss of the Phoenix Mercenary Corps, Ye Liebiao, didn’t beat around the bush and recounted exactly the information passed to him by the gatekeeper: "A mysterious force has appeared outside, stationed not far from our base, encircling us but not attacking."

"Any riffraff dares to mess with the Phoenix Mercenary Corps." The scarred man on the right continued arrogantly, "Boss, I’ll take the brothers out right now and wipe them out."

With that, he stood up, ready to immediately back up his words with action.

However, one sentence from the boss of the Phoenix Mercenary Corps, Ye Liebiao, had him sit back down quietly.

"According to the lookout squad, the opponents number at least over five hundred..."

"What?!" The scarred man was so shocked his mouth dropped wide open, almost unable to believe what the boss said, "Boss, could the lookout squad have made a mistake, taking fifty people for five hundred?"

Following this, the scarred man found a reason to console himself.

Ye Liebiao, with a serious expression, repeated once more, "No mistake. I was initially shocked too and had them confirm it several times. It’s true."
