Chapter 421 (1/2)

Ling Cao laughed in satisfaction as the smoke covered the jungle. “Haha! We have extinguished the fire. How is Zhang Liao going to deal with us now?”

Ling Cao then heard the sound of the enemy charging and said, “They are even preparing to charge into the jungle. General. This Zhang Liao must have lost his head after his plan is foiled!” Ling Cao and his subordinates were already prepared to ensure that Zhang Liao doesn’t leave.

Lu Meng’s subordinates also began to start hiding. They would wait for the enemy to approach before ambus.h.i.+ng them.

Lu Meng simply nodded. He would be suppressed by Zhang Liao outside the jungle but he was certain he could inflict heavy damage to Zhang Liao’s Army inside the jungle.

“Is Zhang Liao only this much?” Ling Cao commented proudly. He then took a deep breath before coughing because of the smoke. “This d.a.m.n smoke is so thick!” Ling Cao cursed. However, he soon forgot about it when he thought of killing his enemies.

“This smoke is…” Lu Meng sniffed. He did not know when it started but the smoke was slowly getting thicker. It seemed to come from outside. There were also smoke being produced nearby when the fire was being put out.

“Wind?” Lu Meng felt the wind and became startled. He realized that they were about to be covered by smoke.

“Not good! Men! Stop extinguis.h.i.+ng the fire!” Lu Meng shouted in to quickly stop the soldiers that were trying to extinguish the remaining burning areas.

“General?” The others were confused. The fires have not yet been completely extinguished. If they were to stop now, there is a possibility for the fire to spread again.

“We cannot put out any more fires!” Extinguis.h.i.+ng the fire had been the source of the smoke. Lu Meng had yelled out for them to stop but even if they stopped now, the smoke was already there. It was already too late. Lu Meng breathed in the smoke and coughed. The other soldiers did not fare any better. Some of them even start to have tears forming in their eyes.

“Ling Cao! Quickly get us damp cloths!” Lu Meng shouted and Ling Cao quickly acted. The first damp cloth was brought to Lu Meng. When Lu Meng put on the damp cloth to cover his mouth and nose, he immediately felt a lot better.

“Ling Cao! Quickly bring the others damp cloths as well!” Lu Meng ordered again but Ling Cao simply gave a wry smile and did not move. This made Lu Meng angry. “Why are you still here?”
