An unreliable teammate he had fought alongside for a long time, who might still carry a game once in a while, was exactly what Mo Fan thought of Zhao Manyan.

Zhao Manyan had accidentally found the enemy’s camp, which sped up their advance significantly.

The enemy’s base had around fifty thousand soldiers. The Federation Army sent seventy thousand soldiers to take down the enemy’s base and reclaim their side of the Scorching River.

A huge battle would soon occur that day.

The Riders were the main firepower after the first wave of cannon fodder. They would be charging right into the enemy lines after finding the enemy’s base. Enemies would be everywhere when the time came. The trio did not dare lower their guard, even with their outstanding capabilities.

“Are you sure it’s this way? We might be walking into a trap!” Captain Benson was very suspicious of Zhao Manyan’s discovery.

“I’ve gotten rid of the enemy’s Undead. They won’t know we are coming. Just stop worrying and follow me. I’ll cut my wrist and kill myself if you don’t see the enemy’s base in the next hour,” Zhao Manyan answered confidently.

“Fine!”

The troop of Savage Bull Riders was advancing faster than their previous troops. They had lower numbers too, so it was easier for the soldiers to keep up with the three.

They did not encounter any resistance along the way after getting rid of the Undead scouts.

After all, the Brown Rebels did not want to fight the Federation Army in the swamps, except for the Necromancers who had a slight edge over other Casters.

The Savage Bull Riders crossed the swamp quickly. They were no longer looking at cattails and reeds, but the lush and dense trees of a tropical forest.

The rainforest close to the Scorching River was divided into several layers. The highest layer was the Wind-Gathering Layer, consisting of the canopy of the trees. The tops of the trees were almost touching the lowly-hanging clouds, and many birds resided on the trees there. They were not affected by the upcoming battle between the two armies.

The middle layer was the Leaf Umbrella Layer, made up of trees with relatively huge leaves. The trees were connected by vines, allowing people to walk over them.

The lower layer consisted of shrubs and flower clusters, but were still taller than humans. Therefore, going into the woods was no different from prying through the reeds in the swamp.

The Leaf Umbrella Layer made it difficult to tell the direction. It was possible to hide a whole city of civilians in the woods, let alone an army of a few tens of thousands of men.

Fire was the most effective weapon when fighting in a forest. They did not have to worry that the fire would spread out of control, since the forest was surrounded by swamps and rivers, as the whole place was soaked wet because of the never-ending rain. The flames would fizzle out in no time.

The Brown Rebels had established their base and defenses in the woods some time ago. The Federation Army did not necessarily have an advantage, even if it had twenty thousand more men than the enemy’s army, if they were charging into the enemy’s territory without a plan.

Either way, Mo Fan and his crew did not really care whether the Brown Rebels or the Federation Army won the battle. They just needed the Federation Army to fight the Brown Rebels and keep them busy so they had a chance to sneak closer to Wu Ku.

“Do you see that? They are under the trees. They have surrounded their base with a huge circle of spiky shrubs and some magic Formations,” Zhao Manyan said, pointing ahead of them.

They were currently standing on top of an ancient kapok tree. They could see a corner of the enemy’s base from their angle, but the thorny shrubs had formed a sturdy wall around the base.

“We won’t be exposed easily if only a few of us are crossing the shrubs, but if we are sending Riders in, they would quickly trigger the traps and magic Formations,” Zhao Manyan went on.
