After one day of travel, they finally regrouped with Khode's main force. The main army halted its march and rested, while the Pill Masters examined the injured soldiers Zue Du had brought back.
Zue Du also had an injury in his shoulder, but he refused treatment and went to the field command center to deliver his report. Xuang Feng and Wai Kung listened to his report with grim faces, while Zue Siao provided Zue Du with emergency treatment on site.
"I didn't expect even the Phantom Brigade to be defeated so badly," Wai Kung remarked.
Xuang Feng was silent as he pondered the situation.
"The enemy is indeed as dangerous as you said, Feng. However, I don't believe our larger number fails to defeat them!" Wai Ling tried to lift the spirits.
Xuang Feng could see what Wai Ling tried to do. He felt ashamed of himself. He was appointed as the main commander, yet he showed such a gloomy face. How could he inspire confidence in his troops?
