I traveled through time and became a slave, and the noble lady was obsessed with me

Chapter 481 Continue to Persevere
The atmosphere in the room was tense.

Several heavy eyes were all cast on Casey, which made Casey even more unable to help but think of the time when Sharon was around.

No matter how heavy things happened before, Sharon, the leader of the group, would bear them.

Just like when they were still in Neverwinter Fortress, General Baker asked them to take back Deep Valley City.

This was undoubtedly an extremely heavy military order, but Sharon just smiled and accepted the order from the other party.

Only now did Casey realize that helping tens of thousands of people make a decision was such a heavy thing.

After a long silence, Casey suppressed the grief in his heart and tried to look as cold and ruthless as possible.

"Everyone, I cannot break this sad news to everyone."

"And not just me, but everyone here, cannot announce this news to everyone."

These words were like throwing a pebble into a calm pool. The other officers were stunned for a moment, and their expressions changed wildly. After they came to their senses, they wanted to speak.

But before they could say anything, Casey continued.

The second in command of the legion took a deep breath to make himself more rational.

"Everyone should know the importance of the regiment leader to our advancing army."

"If it is announced at this time and the news is known to everyone, what will happen next?"

Casey didn't say it, but everyone in the field knew that it would definitely be a collapse of everyone.

A strong legion is not determined by the number of people or the degree of armament, but by the willpower.

For an ordinary legion, when the battle damage reaches 40%, it will inevitably lead to a great rout.

People are neither machines nor numbers. When on the battlefield, when seeing fewer and fewer companions around them, everyone will be afraid and can't help but run away.

As for the advancing army, from 90,000 to 40,000, the battle losses have already exceeded 50%, and are chasing 60%!
Not to mention the soldiers below, even these officers, if it were not for the regiment commander Sharon, they would have collapsed long ago.

It is precisely because of Sharang's presence that he appears in front of everyone, encourages everyone, charges at the front, and inspires everyone's morale.

Therefore, the Forward Legion can barely hold on until now.

Now if you tell the soldiers below, the man who supported them has fallen.

Next, I am afraid that there will be a large number of deserters in Shengu City immediately.

At that point, this huge deep valley city would be surrendered to the orcs.

Seeing that no one had anything to say, Casey continued talking.

"The leader's biggest goal is to hold on to Shengu City. Everyone should be able to see how much effort the leader has made for this goal."

"Are you willing to watch that all the efforts of the leader were in vain?"

No one made a sound in this room, neither the guards nor the officers, nor the medics.

Everyone personally watched that man's persistence.

"Everyone listen to me!"

"Next, completely block the news about the regiment leader and announce to the soldiers below that the regiment leader was just poisoned and just passed out..."

At this point, Casey's voice became choked up. He wanted to hold back tears, but he couldn't help but stay.

"Shengu City is a very important place. Defending here is the leader's last wish."

"Although the leader is now... I believe that he will still want to hold on."

"Head of my delegation, please."

Casey bowed deeply to everyone present.

It would be impossible for him to continue to support such a big stall by relying on him alone.

Casey must get the support of everyone in the field. Everyone fell silent. This group of men who would not shed tears even if they were slashed by orcs, now had red eyes.

"Deputy leader, I support you!"

"Yeah, I agree."

I don’t know who spoke first, but everyone in the field began to speak out, agreeing to this plan to deceive the entire legion.

They are not doing it for Casey's sake, but because everyone wants to continue to fulfill the last wish left by Captain Sharon.

"Captain, have a good rest. The rest will be left to us."

Casey only felt that his shoulders seemed to have taken over a million burdens, which were so heavy that he could hardly breathe.

The burden was heavy, but at this time, looking at the large advancing legion, Casey could not find anyone who could rely on him.

After suppressing his emotions, Casey told himself not to look at the regiment leader's face and began to arrange military orders.

"Everyone here, please remember that this news must not leave this house."

"We have to pretend that this doesn't happen. Everyone, please cheer up."

"We will continue to hold on to Deep Valley City. You must remember that from now on, we have to rely on ourselves!"

As Casey's voice fell, everyone took deep breaths, restored themselves, and tried their best to hide the sadness in their eyes.

Everyone seemed to be running away and walked out of the door one after another. None of them wanted to look at the leader again.

I was afraid that my emotions, which I had finally recovered with great difficulty, would collapse again.

Soon, only Casey and Marcus were left in the room.

When everyone else was gone, Marcus could no longer hold back the tears of sadness.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault."

"You clearly said at that time that you wanted to check more, but I dragged you away and refused to let you check properly."

Big tears kept sliding down Marcus' face.

As the military doctor determined the time, all he had to do was push forward. In addition, Sirloin had only eaten barbecue and wine all day yesterday.

You can guess right away that the other party poisoned you through two kinds of food.

Originally, it was Marcus who was still giving orders to his men yesterday because he disliked Casey's mother-in-law, so he took him away directly.

This made Marcus blame himself very much.

"Ugh……"

Faced with this kind of thing, Casey could only sigh deeply.

No one wants to see this happen, but it just happens.

It was still some time before dawn, and the two of them didn't say anything. They just quietly looked at Sha Lang with a black face in the room.

Time began to pass minute by minute, and finally Marcus's voice sounded in the room.

"Let me take the place of the leader."

Casey looked into Marcus's eyes and saw the other's determination, and finally nodded.

With Sharon gone, they must shoulder the heavy responsibility of the entire advancing army.

Casey has no choice. All he can do now is continue to persevere.

No one knows whether their persistence is useful, but everyone just wants to continue to fulfill the leader's last wish.
