The terrible losses were heart-wrenchingly painful.
Normally, everyone would need some time to recover.
But with the war currently underway, everyone must act quickly to secure victory sooner and respond in a timely manner to the various actions of the enemy.
Ma Lin's own will had become much more resilient.
He remembered the heavy price paid for every lost battle.
No one blamed him, but seeing various collective funerals and memorial activities, he felt guilty.
He had been incapable of standing up to Lu Meng, leading to such significant losses.
He remembered the warning given to him by the egg.
He had indeed been working hard enough lately, which is why none of his friends had fallen here, and he had been able to rescue Green Clothes from danger.
But it still wasn't quite enough.
What was he to do next? Wait, or try to become even stronger?
Waiting would, over time, grow his side's advantage, and then they could defeat Lu Meng.
