Chapter 272: Killing Intent (4)

"What about the auxiliary guards' losses?" Xu Jingming asked.

"Dozens are dead," Zhao Defang said coldly. "Even the Principales and the wing envoy are aware of this matter. As the captain, you can't escape from the charge of 'incompetence.' Start thinking of your plea to the Principales."

Xu Jingming silently turned around and left when he suddenly saw a wet figure running over—it was Zhang Ke.

"Captain." Zhang Ke, who was completely drenched, said in surprise and joy, "You're fine?"

"I happened to be out of the jurisdiction area and escaped a calamity," Xu Jingming replied. Thankfully, one more member of his team survived.
