The situation at this Forward Base was much the same.
Without Xiao Mo, it was hard to say whether they could ultimately win the contest.
Xiao Mo nodded. "It's all right. The fighting at my outpost is already over."
"Naturally, I need to help your other outposts out of danger."
Looking at Xiao Mo's face in the sunlight, the commander couldn't help saying, "The strong really do have it all!"
"A war that would have been grueling for us was something you resolved with ease."
Xiao Mo said, "I only did my duty. There's no need to thank me."
Just then, more news arrived.
All the Chu Yun Empire's enemy troops at the twelve outposts had been routed.
The Chu Yun Empire's offensive, launched with nearly two hundred thousand troops, had been successfully defeated by the Jia Ma Empire.
A messenger reported the situation.
Xiao Mo said, "Then I'll head back to my outpost."
"All right. Go ahead."
The commander replied.
Xiao Mo returned to his outpost, and before long, he received word from Li Wei that the entire army was to withdraw to Tiger-Suppressing Pass.
After leading the troops back to Tiger-Suppressing Pass, Li Wei personally sought out Xiao Mo for a talk.
"I truly never expected us to withstand the Chu Yun Empire's offensive."
"But now it's all over."
"It's also time for you to return and have an audience with His Majesty."
Li Wei said to Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo replied, "When can I leave?"
Li Wei answered, "You can leave right now."
Xiao Mo said, "I'll head back to see His Majesty first."
Li Wei replied, "Go on!"
Xiao Mo arrived in Jia Ma Holy City once again.
After reaching the Imperial Capital, Xiao Mo went to see Yao Xuanchen first.
"Your Majesty."
Xiao Mo bowed
