"Damn it!" The third elder slapped his palm directly on the big tree next to him: "If this is really the case, then aren't these people playing tricks on us again?"

The Great Elder frowned again: "But if this is really the case, then...then we have no good solution now. Look at this time."

The four of them looked up at the sky, where the scorching sun was already high.

"It's already noon. Even if they were fake before, now that we are fighting back, I'm afraid it's too late. In terms of time, the other party's reinforcements are already in place." The great elder sighed.

Even if they reflected on the current opportunity, they had completely missed it.

"Damn it, we can't just let it go like this, right?" The second elder's temper couldn't stand such humiliation at all.

"Second brother, don't worry. Even if we have to fight back, it won't be today. This matter needs to be discussed in the long term." The fourth elder said.

The Great Elder nodded: "Yes, the water palace's naval support is most likely all in place now. If we fight back, our little power alone may not change the situation of the battle."

"Everything needs to be rearranged."

The third elder frowned: "Brother, what do you mean, are we going to ask the people from the headquarters?"

"Isn't this too embarrassing?"

"Yes, they came here specifically to humiliate us earlier. If we still beg them now, then they may take advantage of the situation. Where will our reputation be then?"

The great elder shouted angrily: "Then I want to ask you, can we keep our reputation by letting the enemy go like this?"

"Aren't we being ridiculed by others, aren't we being used as an excuse to make trouble against us?"

As soon as these words came out, the second elder and the third elder lowered their heads in depression. They were in a dilemma. It seemed that this difficult choice had become less difficult.

When a group of four people arrived at their branch headquarters again, it seemed unusually quiet.

The entire temple seemed to have been looted and empty.

The four elders looked strange, but they did not dare to say anything. They could only stand in the hall and wait obediently.

"According to the spies' report, you launched the attack in the morning, and the enemy's reinforcements from Shuigong officially arrived at noon. This means that you have a full morning to launch the attack on the enemy."

"But what I want to know is what you have been doing all morning."

As soon as the four of them stood up, there was a burst of shouts in the hall.

However, one could only hear his voice but not see his figure.

The four of them did not dare to show any slightness and hurriedly knelt down.

"Palace Master, the four of us are incompetent and were... fooled by that guy named Han Sanqian." JrNovels.com
