Chapter 1,272 Mu De Survives

——Ugh…

——It hurts…

Pains came from all over my body…especially my left arm.

Mude was awakened by the pain from all over his body.

He opened his eyes.

Perhaps because his eyes had not been exposed to light for too long, after opening his eyes, he was greeted by a dazzling light.

Unable to bear the strong light, Mude could not help but close his eyes slightly, letting his eyes slowly adapt to the strong light.

The strong light gradually faded, and the scene in front of him gradually took shape.

The white tent top—this was the first image that appeared in Mude's mind.

After seeing the scene clearly, a familiar smell also penetrated Mude's nostrils—the smell of potion.

When Mude was thinking about where he was, a strange voice suddenly sounded in Mude's ears:

"Ah! He woke up!"

"Quick! Go and notify the captain!"

——Captain...?

Hearing this "Captain", the fog that trapped Mude's mind gradually dissipated, and his memory gradually awakened.

Lake Anga, ships, roars, flames...

Mud remembered everything that happened before he fell into a coma.

Before he fell into a coma, Mud's memory was frozen in the raging sea of ​​fire that attacked him.

"I..." Mud whispered, "Did I survive...?"

Mud turned his head and looked at the environment around him.

He was now lying in a white military tent with only him, and the small table beside the bed was piled with medicines and bandages.

After observing the surrounding environment, Mud began to observe himself.

Although he could not see what his torso looked like because he was wearing clothes, he could still clearly feel that his torso was wrapped in thick bandages.

Not only the torso, but also the legs were wrapped in bandages.

"It's really badly injured..." Mud smiled bitterly and looked at his left arm.

No, it can't be considered a left arm anymore.

To be precise, he looked at the part that used to be the left arm.

The place where the left arm should have been is now empty, and the left arm is completely cut off from the shoulder.

Just as Mude was lamenting the severity of his injuries, a voice suddenly sounded from far away and near at a very fast speed outside the tent.

Whoosh!

The curtain of the military tent was lifted.

The person who rushed into the tent was Su Cheng.

"Mr. Mude!" Su Cheng walked quickly to Mude's bedside.

"Captain..." Mude saw Su Cheng and did not exchange any greetings with him. Instead, he said to Su Cheng first, "The decisive battle of Lake Anga... did we win?"

"Yes!"

As soon as Mude finished speaking, Su Cheng nodded vigorously.

"We won! The Royal Fleet of the Frankish Empire was completely annihilated! Its commander Otto von Hollweg also committed suicide! We won!"

"Did we win...?" Mude's mouth curled up slightly, and his face showed relief.

But the relief on Mude's face only appeared for a while and then disappeared.

He put on a heavy expression.

He asked his second question in a concentrated voice, which was also the question he wanted to know the answer to most besides "Did they win?"

"Then...how many people who participated in the fire attack survived...?"

After hearing Mude's question, Su Cheng, who had just reported the victory to Mude with a smile, froze his smile.

A heavy look replaced the smile on Su Cheng's face.

"The total number of soldiers who survived the fire attack troops... was 1,093..."

Speaking of this, Su Cheng paused.

After hesitating for a while, he continued in a deep voice:

"The rich and handsome general of the Imperial Navy, Blaise Short, also died heroically in this battle..."

After the battle, Su Cheng immediately sent all the No. 3 warships in the fleet to search for survivors on the lake, but...there were very few survivors.

The total number of troops participating in the fire attack was 10,000.

And the number of survivors was only over 1,000.

Even the deputy commander of the navy, Blaise, died in this battle.

But Mude miraculously survived.

When the search and rescue personnel found Mude on the lake, Mude was lying on a wooden board and dying.

The military doctors treated Mude at all costs.

After several days of hard work by the military doctors, Mud's order was finally saved.

However, Mud's left arm was too severely burned and had to be amputated.

Although he was mentally prepared, Mud still felt a lump in his throat after learning that so many of his subordinates had died, and Blaise, who had been his partner for many years, had died.

After taking several deep breaths, Mud finally adjusted his condition.

In order to prevent the atmosphere in the tent from getting so heavy, Mu De pulled the corner of his mouth, revealing a faint smile, and said in a half-joking tone:

"I am injured like this, and I can finally apply to the central government for retirement with confidence."

"I applied to the central government for retirement many times many years ago, but each application was rejected."

"Now that I am injured like this, the central government should be embarrassed to reject my retirement application, right?"

"Mr. Mu De, don't worry." Su Cheng smiled and echoed with a smiling tone, "If the central government still does not agree to your retirement request, I will do justice for you and personally ask the central government to allow your retirement request."

"Hahaha!"

Hearing Su Cheng's words, Mu De laughed a few times.

"With your words, the commander, I feel relieved!"

Just as Mu De's voice fell, the curtain of the military formation was opened again.

This time, a young man walked into the tent - Willy, the deputy commander of the Knights of Michael.

After entering the tent, Willy greeted Mude first.

"Mr. Mude." Willy smiled, "Great, you're awake."

"Thank you for your concern." Mude smiled, "I didn't expect that I would have a chance to wake up... I'm so lucky."

Willy came into the tent not to find Mude, but to find Su Cheng.

So after a brief greeting with Mude, he turned his eyes to Su Cheng and said seriously:

"Captain, the army has been integrated. It can go out at any time."

"Yes." Su Cheng nodded, "Thank you."

"Go out..." Mude was stunned.

It was not until then that Mude realized that he was sleeping in a tent.

If he was on a ship, why would he need to sleep in a tent?

"Captain. Have we landed on land now?"

"Yes." Su Cheng smiled, "Just three days ago, the fleet successfully followed the Isu River to the south bank of the Isu River and began to land."

As soon as Su Cheng finished speaking, Willy on the side added:

"And now, all troops are ready to go and can attack at any time."

"That means..." Mude murmured with a slightly surprised tone, "We are going to have a land battle with the Frank army..."

"Yes." Su Cheng let out a long breath, "Finally, the final battle with the Frank army is about to begin."

"Mr. Mude, you should continue to stay here to recuperate."

"We are going to drive the enemy out of the country completely."

"Yes..." Mude nodded heavily, "I wish you a successful start, you must win, Captain."

Su Cheng smiled.

"Wait for our victory report, Mr. Mude."

After that, Su Cheng led Willy out of the big tent where Mude was recuperating.
