Although the need to repair the fighting arena was very urgent, since Cheng Yu had returned from victory, he naturally had to go back to report to his wives that they were safe.
However, there was no need for Cheng Yu to report. As soon as he showed up at Cheng's house, a maid hurriedly reported the news to several ladies.
So as soon as Cheng Yu stepped into Yunshou Peak, several women rushed to greet him.
"Where are these beauties going?" Cheng Yu said with a smile.
"We saw that you haven't come back for so long. We were about to go find some fresh meat. We didn't expect you to come back so soon!" Lanya said with a smile.
"I think you guys haven't had a fight for a long time, why don't you start a fight?" Cheng Yu said with a smile.
"Did the operation go smoothly this time? How many people were lost?" Xinyao was not interested in teasing. Seeing Cheng Yu return smoothly, this was her biggest wish.
But she also wanted to know how this operation was going, what the enemy was like, and how many disciples the Cheng family had lost.
After all, they are also the matrons of the Cheng family, and they have been in charge of the Cheng family for so many years, so they also have feelings for the Cheng family.
Although he believed in Cheng Yu's strength, they also knew that as long as there was a war, it was impossible not to die.
Therefore, no matter how strong the Cheng family is, someone will definitely die. It is just a matter of more or less.
However, they have been praying for everyone. They only hope that the fewer deaths in the Cheng family, the better. After all, many people have family members.
If he doesn't come back, his family will naturally be in great pain.
Just like them, if Cheng Yu doesn't come back for a day, their hearts will not be at peace.
Although Cheng Yu is strong, the enemy this time is an immortal after all, so there is always a risk.
And who knows whether their information is accurate? What if the inner court sends out more powerful immortals?
"They were still too eager for quick success. More than four thousand people died, including more than a thousand during the tribulation period." Cheng Yu shook his head helplessly.
In fact, if he had taken action, he could have saved more lives.
But he couldn't protect these people forever. He had done enough, trapping Xu Xian in advance, and also provided convenience for their battle.
If this still requires him to take action personally, then these people will really be crippled by him.
And he must also let these people experience some of the cruelty of battle, and also warn those who are still alive.
If such a mistake happens once, they may lose their lives, so if they all want to survive, they must work hard to improve their strength in the future, and they must be careful again and again.
They should never underestimate the enemy at any time. Once they underestimate the enemy, they may be the ones paying their lives.
Seeing the bodies of those people, many people fell silent. I believe that after this battle, the living should better understand how lucky they are to be alive, and they will cherish their lives more in the future.
"Didn't you say that there are 80,000 or 90,000 people on the other side? We have only lost more than 4,000 people, so it should be very smooth, right?" Yang Ruoxue asked doubtfully.
Because according to the intelligence they mentioned at the beginning, the number of people from the Cheng family fighting this time was almost twice that of the inner dynasty.
With twice the combat power, once the two sides start a full-scale war, the Cheng family's casualties should not be small.
When she just heard Cheng Yu say that the sacrifice was greater than expected, her heart became much tighter.
This was the first wave of attacks by the Inner Dynasty. Only tens of thousands of people had caused huge losses to the Cheng family. If the Inner Dynasty dispatched an army of hundreds of thousands of immortals in the future, how many people would Cheng Yu sacrifice?
But I didn't expect that Cheng Yu finally said that he only lost 4,000 people. Isn't this much better than the expected result?
The other women also looked puzzled, and even had a little smile on their faces.
Because this was much better than their expectations. Originally, they thought that at least tens of thousands of people would die.
"That's because you don't understand the situation. The specific situation is like this..." So Cheng Yu roughly planned how to lay out his plans, and at the same time, he first captured the virtual immortals, and finally how to annihilate the initiative. The situation of the army was told once.
"It turns out that you have already done so much. If you look at it this way, the loss of four thousand people is indeed too much.
I think they were fighting against immortals for the first time. Seeing how many immortals were killed at once, they were probably very excited and couldn't restrain their emotions.
After all, immortals still hold a lot of weight in the eyes of us mortals.
As a result, they died in the hands of mortals. This huge gap will give everyone the illusion that the immortals are no longer a threat to them. After all, they are too careless! Xinyao finally analyzed after listening to what Cheng Yu said.
"Indeed, but these people are too eager to make meritorious deeds and want to prove themselves in front of me. Of course, no matter what the reason is, there are indeed cases where they are careless and underestimate the enemy.
Otherwise they would never have killed so many people.
But things have happened, and I have ordered people to sort out their bodies and bring back everything that can be brought back, so I can give them a home!
But after experiencing this, I hope others can learn from it.
The next time the Inner Dynasty is expected to send more troops, there may not be such a good opportunity by then.
If they still have this mentality, they will eventually pay with their lives for their pride. "Cheng Yu said helplessly.
He can provide these people with more and better cultivation environments, but there is no way to forcefully change their mentality.
So he didn't know whether these people could really learn from this incident.
Maybe some people will still gain something, but some people may not.
But this kind of thing is beyond his control. People who can't adjust their mentality will naturally regret it when the time comes.
He has already said what needs to be said, and it will still be up to them in the future.
"So it is sometimes not a good thing to expand your strength too fast. If it were before, who would dare to underestimate the immortal?
Now they don't even pay attention to the immortals. If you provide them with some immortal-level resources, they may not even pay attention to the virtual immortals.
This is a good thing and a bad thing.
The good thing is that at least they know that they really have the ability to kill immortals, so they won't all become cowered turtles when the immortals attack, and the enemies will all run away.
The bad thing is that they really think they are invincible. Even if the enemy is very strong, they don't know how to escape.
Anyway, there are pros and cons! Xinyao said.
"Indeed, but there is nothing we can do about it. I didn't want them to have such a powerful force all of a sudden, but the Inner Dynasty was too close.
Moreover, it takes time to improve their strength. If they don't improve their strength now, how will they be able to make it in time when the inner dynasty's army comes? "Cheng Yu said.
