Luo Tianyi was naturally unwilling to stay behind, it was job that was tantamount to suicide. If one was not careful, he might lose everything. Without troops nor the equipment, Luo Tianyi would not be worth much. He was not willing to bring his troops to their deaths.
Liu Huifeng thought quietly for awhile, before suggesting an offer that made Yue Zhong’s heart itchy: “Yue Zhong, if you’re willing to stay behind! We can give you 3 assault helicopters and their pilots, as well as their maintenance crew!”
3 assault helicopters were potent weapons, with just 3, Yue Zhong could be considered to possess an aerial unit, facing any small powers would just require a single assault helicopter. It could easily cause the enemy to lose the will to fight and surrender immediately. Furthermore, he could use the assault helicopter to directly fly over any places that were surrounded by zombies.
Hearing Liu Huifeng’s offers, Yue Zhong was slightly tempted, but he still shook his head and refused, “I’m not interested!! If you guys insist on my staying behind, I will immediately pull my troops back!!”
It was still the same logic, if Yue Zhong lost his strength, he would have no way of protecting himself against the army, much less demand for what was promised.
Regardless of their pleading and offers, Yue Zhong rejected them all.
None of the 5 heads were willing to stick his neck out for the rest as well, and pretty soon the talks came to a deadlock.
After a long while, Shen Hongyang had no choice but to dismiss the meeting, letting the various leaders to take a rest and have some food.
Su Dongming immediately found Luo Tianyi and asked, “Old Luo, what do you think about the battle?”
Luo Tianyi and Su Dongming were from the same regiment, and their relationship was decent. Furthermore, Su Dongming was the one who always held the lead position, only after clashing with Yue Zhong did he suffered heavy losses, and thus their relationship had undergone a little change. However, it was still closer compared to the rest of the 3 heads.
Luo Tianyi furrowed his brows, and came to a precise conclusion: “It’s gonna be tough!! If those zombies launch a mass scale assault in the night, we would definitely not be able to hold!”
Battling in the night was one of the hardest part of war. Under the cover of darkness, even the most elite of snipers would find it hard to discern friend from foe, not to mention the ordinary soldiers.
While the army brought plenty of flares, they could not compare to the illumination by daylight.
Su Dongming laughed coldly: “Tough?! There’s only death awaiting us all if we stay! It’s not like you have no idea how crazy it is to fight in the night. Based on the troops’ morale and fighting capabilities now, the moment there is a slight mistake, the entire formation would fall!!”
Luo Tianyi maintained his silence, he knew Su Dongming was right. They had such a high number of inexperienced soldiers who had not gone through tough training or experiences like the veterans. The moment a mistake occurred, they were bound to lose their will to fight.
Luo Tianyi pondered a while, before saying: “What do you suggest?”
Su Dongming’s eyes flash with viciousness: “We take our troops and leave. By that time, even if they don’t want to cover us, it’ll be too late! Stopping the horde will consume their resources! And then we’ll be the rulers of SY County!”
