Chapter 981: Seriously?
As per Ye Qingcheng’s orders, the remaining six fortresses mobilized over half of their main force and sent around a total of 700,000 troops to the Divine Light Fortress at once. Such a big move didn’t need spies for such information to be known. The Sacks got the news the moment they started moving.
For both sides, this battle had long been expected and was one that neither of them could afford to lose.
Despite the tension between Moonlight and the Sacks, Bai Xiaofei, the one with the key mission, was quite relaxed.
“Except for Wind Chime Fortress, which is the farthest from us, all the men have been brought here. Do we really still have to wait?”
In Bai Xiaofei’s tent, Zhu Chunyang was full of anxiety, while Bai Xiaofei had his head on Tan Xin’s lap and was enjoying the grapes that she stuffed into his mouth.
It had been ten days since Bai Xiaofei had taken his people and separated from the main army, and all he had been doing so far was enjoying life.
“Of course we have to wait. I don’t like having to repeat this several times more,” replied Bai Xiaofei nonchalantly.
“Aren’t you scared we’d be too late? By now, the Moonlight army should be in a dangerous situation at the moment. The Sacks may send troops to raid the fortress at any time. If we don’t hurry up, it will be really too late!”
Zhu Chunyang had analyzed the situation again and again, his worry wasn’t without a reason. If Moonlight fell, his kingdom wouldn’t fare much better.
“What’s the hurry? Ye Qingcheng is not a fool. Urgent marches in themselves are a kind of burden for troops. When they arrive at Divine Light, the first thing they do will be to siege it to pressure the enemy until the troops recover their stamina,” Bai Xiaofei explained, successfully shutting up Zhu Chunyang.
“Fine, I won’t bother you about this. But you can at least tell me what you’re planning. I’m really in a panic, you know?” Zhu Chunyang’s expression was full of helplessness, the pressure in his heart made him want to explode.
“He’s not the only one who knows. I do too,” Tan Xin mercilessly added oil to the fire.
“You two can just strangle me to death!” roared Zhu Chunyang in a cracked voice.
Right at that moment, Ye Qingtong entered the tent.
“The people from Wind Chime Fortress have arrived. Time for you to show up.”
Ye Qingtong was much calmer than Zhu Chunyang. She believed in both Bai Xiaofei and Ye Qingcheng that they would successfully complete their respective missions.
“Let’s go, time to get to work!”
Bai Xiaofei got up and headed out, followed by Tan Xin. The moment he was outside and greeted by a dense crowd, his heart tightened.
