Capítulo 500: Chapter 111: Getaway!

On July 28th, 915, the retreat of the First Mobile Group Army had been underway for almost six hours.

Wang Zhong was still in the converted warehouse that served as command headquarters, watching staff officers burn documents they planned not to take with them.

Because it was uncertain whether the enemy would be deceived, Wang Zhong chose to stay behind to lead the rearguard troops, while Popov went to the local church to oversee the evacuation of the townspeople.

Wang Zhong, with his hands on his hips, found it boring after watching for a long time, and turned to ask Vasily, "This trick of yours, will it work?"
