Chapter 983 - A Huge Gamble! (2/2)

Winning and losing depending on just a thought of the enemy, this was definitely an extravagant gamble!

But even so, thorough preparations had to be made.

With the help of Mind Sunder and Tan Xin’s ability of creation, the defensive measures on both sides of the trail were quickly laid out. After Bai Xiaofei briefly explained the operation, the group men instantly grew sharp… because of the last sentence he said –

“Succeed, we live. Fail, we all die.”

It was also this sentence that made them finally aware of one thing: They were here to put their lives on the line!

Curses toward Bai Xiaofei instantly echoed. In the eyes of the cannon fodder group, he was now just as hateful as Moonlight women.

Meanwhile, the bandit group gathered by Ye Qingtong was extremely excited, taking this as the first step toward changing Moonlight!

The wait began after all preparations were made. Bai Xiaofei’s nervousness grew with every passing second, and Ye Qingtong was not much better. This state would only worsen unless the Sack army appeared.

Fortunately, when the sun was about to set, a huge silhouette appeared at the end of the valley!

“Incoming!”

The sentry immediately confirmed that it was the Sacks, making Bai Xiaofei’s and Ye Qingtong’s faces light up in joy. Orders were quickly passed down and the group of 10,000-odd entered a combat-ready state.

At the same time, the Sack army stopped at the edge of the valley.

“Chief, the situation isn’t quite right. It’s too quiet,” a Sack man reported.

At the very front of the Sack army was a fur-clad leader riding a magnificent black horse. Looking at the valley up ahead, he sneered. “Seeing as so many troops have gathered at the Divine Light Fortress, I’d applaud them if they have more than ten thousand people here.”

“Chief, the Saintess’ word is that there is no room for any mistakes on our side, so…” said the same man from earlier with hesitation in his voice.

Obviously, the Saintess or the leader in front of him were both people he could not afford to offend, but he was more willing to listen to the former.

“Send six thousand troops to go through in batches. Once safely passed, go to the hilltops on both sides to keep watch!” Gritting his teeth, the leader endured the dissatisfaction in his heart as the Saintess’ status in the Sacks was higher than him. If nothing else, none of these troops around him would really stand on his side.

As per his order, 6000 troops were selected to go into the valley in batches of 2000…
