This battle, the demon wolf army planned meticulously, and their strategy was exceptionally brilliant.
They first attacked Base 18 with full force, then feigned retreat, luring the main plane army into pursuit, and then divided their forces.
A great show of force left two million troops to act as sacrificial bait, solely for the purpose of annihilating half of Base 18's strength.
Old Ma's design was excellent; Base 18 indeed fell for the ruse and pursued, and he successfully encircled the enemy.
Just as the plan was about to succeed, they never expected that Ya's boldness would be even greater, directly pulling out everyone from Base 18, all for the sake of completely destroying his demon wolf army.
But even at this point, Old Ma remained unfazed. He had prepared two Demon Emperors as a contingency. For this objective, he had made complete preparations.
Even though his plan was seen through by Ya, countered step by step, and ultimately two Saints were dispatched to deal with the Demon Emperors, he, Old Ma, still had a fallback.
Yes, Old Ma had planned everything, even his own failure was factored into the plan.
He had also prepared a second plan targeting his objective.
His second plan was to gather all his forces, capture the Thunderstorm squad alive, and then, with this squad, break through at all costs, regardless of casualties.
His objective was never to annihilate the entire Base 18 army. Of course, if he could annihilate them incidentally, or even cause Base 18 heavy losses, that would be all the better.
His objective was to capture the Thunderstorm squad alive.
To be precise, it was to capture one person within the squad alive.
Dispatches of an entire battle-hardened ace legion, and two Demon Emperors of high standing, all for the sole purpose of capturing that one person alive.
That person whom… the Jealous Demon Lord had personally ordered to be captured alive.
The very first day that person arrived on the Sea of Bitterness battlefield, Old Ma formulated the plan and immediately began its execution. His plan received the Jealous Demon Lord's approval and full support, even being allocated two Demon Emperors.
Overjoyed, Old Ma immediately commenced his operation; he could not wait a moment longer.
He had almost succeeded.
When he saw the Thunderstorm squad fleeing without regard, and even clearing a path for them through the encirclement, Old Ma almost burst into laughter.
This was simply perfect; breaking through without lifting a finger, then capturing the spaceship directly and returning to their lair. Everything was so flawless.
But the only thing he failed to account for was the squad daring to return.
Why did you come back? Are you here to seek death? If you came back, we would still have to fight our way back to the battlefield to capture you. How much more convenient is it to simply break out of the battlefield and capture you along the way?
The result was that his army, in order to capture the squad alive, was forced to remain.
The result was that the human army gained precious time and was able to re-encircle them.
He had not expected that squad to possess such great courage.
He had not expected that squad to be so tenacious.
They had fought for several hours, yet were still unable to capture them alive.
The result of planning everything was the complete annihilation of the demon wolf army, and he, Old Ma, was captured alive by the main plane army.
The moment the cultivation suppressor was placed on him, Old Ma still had many things he did not understand.
And at this moment, the squad that perplexed the commander of the demon wolf army was lying side by side on beds.
The Thunderstorm squad's dormitory was a large room with twenty cubicles, each cubicle containing a bed.
On twelve beds lay twelve people, the cubicle doors all open, appearing neat and orderly from afar.
The only ones in the squad who could still move, besides the idiot Kaka, were Fang Xiaoyu.
Therefore, the former little princess of the Fang family, the Thunder Queen, had to personally take on the nursing duties.
Kaka had performed admirably in this battle, and Fang Xiaoyu rewarded him with plenty of delicious food, letting him squat on the balcony to eat by himself.
And for these three days, Fang Xiaoyu had been meticulously taking care of everyone.
After treatment, everyone had gradually woken up, but due to the severity of their injuries, they were unable to get out of bed.
During these three days, Fang Xiaoyu had fed each person medicine, cleaned their bodies, and checked their injuries, performing the dirty and tiring work with great detail.
As a result, everyone except Wan Lei, upon waking up and seeing their clean bodies, blushed in shame.
They felt they could not go on living; it was too embarrassing. Regardless of gender, their bodies had all been seen by Fang Xiaoyu.
But they also felt immense gratitude. Looking at the exhausted Fang Xiaoyu, whose own injuries were not yet healed, and who was constantly busy taking care of them, they were all genuinely grateful to this good sister-in-law from the bottom of their hearts.
Truly a good sister-in-law; only family would care for someone so meticulously.
"Are you opening your mouth?"
Fang Xiaoyu looked coldly at the person lying on the bed, her attitude extremely frigid.
"Mmm~~ I need a kiss to take the medicine."
Captain Wan blinked his bright eyes, looking expectantly at the peerless beauty before him.
"Eat it or don't. It's up to you."
Fang Xiaoyu threw the pill at Wan Lei's face and got up to leave.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't go. I'll eat it now, I'll eat it now. I can't move my hands."
Wan Lei quickly shouted and, cooperating, opened his mouth.
Fang Xiaoyu picked up the pill again and placed it in his mouth, remaining cold throughout the entire process.
"Sigh, being taken care of by my wife again, just like back on Thunder Star Sea."
"What happened on Thunder Star Sea that required you to be taken care of?"
Fang Xiaoyu stood up, looking down coldly, her queenly demeanor exuding dominance.
"Uh… don't be angry."
Wan Lei pleaded for forgiveness with a cheeky grin, after all, at that time, he had promised Fang Xiaoyu that he would never push her away during dangerous times again.
But he had done so again this time.
"I will never forgive you."
Fang Xiaoyu snorted coldly, stood up, and walked towards the third cubicle.
Wan Lei's was in the first, hers in the second, and the third was Xia Yubing.
Xia Yubing's condition was not much better than Wan Lei's. His external injuries had mostly healed, but his internal injuries were still severe, rendering him unable to move.
Fang Xiaoyu sat by Xia Yubing's bed, took out the medicine, fed it to Xia Yubing's mouth, and then took out a bottle of green liquid, slowly feeding it to him.
This was also a medicine with remarkable healing effects, generally given to those who found it difficult to even open their mouths due to their injuries.
After being fed, Xia Yubing was so touched that tears welled up in his eyes.
"Sister-in-law is so good, sister-in-law is the best sister-in-law in the world."
"You stopped calling me sister and started calling me sister-in-law?"
Fang Xiaoyu scoffed.
"Sister-in-law sounds so affectionate, so much like a virtuous wife and good mother, completely fitting your current image, so glorious."
After hearing Xia Yubing's flattery, Fang Xiaoyu, with a benevolent smile, walked towards the fourth bed, which was Wan Qianxin's.
"Sister-in-law is so good, thank you, sister-in-law. It's a blessing from eight lifetimes that Wan Lei could marry you, sister-in-law. You marrying him is truly a waste of a person like you."
