Chapter 984: Probing; Planting a Seed!
“They sent troops in to test the waters. From how it looks, they are divided into three batches of around two thousand each, and their speed is very fast!”
The bandits in charge of keeping watch halfway up the hill immediately reported the situation.
The enemy’s actions obviously troubled Ye Qingtong. If they used their traps now, there wouldn’t be anything left to stop the remaining Sacks troops.
“Let the first batch pass, stop the second batch at the outlet of the valley and the third batch in the middle. Use the first-level traps to annihilate the second batch. As for the third batch, stop once they start fleeing,” Bai Xiaofei quickly gave out orders.
The energy in his body had stopped circulating the moment the Sack troops entered the valley. The only thing left he could rely on was the previous arrangements. Fortunately, the nature of the Sacks’ sealing ability was similar to that of Moonlight soldiers and could not influence things that had already been prepared.
With loud rumbles, boulders rolled down the cliffs and completely separated the three batches of Sack troops, followed by a rain of stone arrows!
“KILL!!!”
Before the Sack troops could react, hundreds of men suddenly emerged from the burrows on the ground, waving blades and reaping lives. In just a few minutes, the second batch of Sack troops turned into dead bodies.
“Clean up the field!” shouted the leader of the bandit group, and the members immediately carried out his order skillfully as this was what they used to do for a living. After stripping everything usable from the corpses, they once again crawled into the burrows…
Separated behind them, the third pioneer batch was much luckier as the stone arrows were only meant to scare them and had stopped after killing less than a hundred. However, the purpose was achieved as the remaining frightened soldiers directly turned around and ran back.
Meanwhile, the first pioneer batch, who safely passed through the valley, immediately wanted to turn back to aid the others upon hearing the rumbles. However, the unnaturally formed obstacles created by the boulders rendered this idea impossible.
“Go!!” The leader of the first batch then remembered his duty. As long as they took both sides of the cliff, the enemy’s traps, no matter how many there were, would not be a problem.
However, before they could get to their destination, a huge number of soldiers came rushing down from both sides.
Charging at the very front were the heavily armed bandits, making up a total of only 2000. However, behind them were over 9000 cannon fodder men, making up for their lack of weapons with numbers. Not to mention that the Sack troops were so shocked they didn’t notice that they had no weapons!
“I’ve heard that the Sacks are brave fighters who would rather die than surrender. Now, your two thousand against ten thousand. Will you let us witness your bravery and die miserably, or will you drop your weapons and wait for the main army to come to your rescue? Don’t worry, we have no habit of killing prisoners,” said Bai Xiaofei, looking mighty in his shiny armor, before his voice grew icy. “Three seconds. Those who surrender live, those who resist die!”
The bandits at the front immediately nocked their arrows and drew their bows. From their postures, it was clear that they couldn’t wait for a reason to kill the Sack soldiers.
“Our leader will surely come and save us. Don’t be so arrogant!” said the troop captain viciously as he dropped his weapon on the ground… We’re not surrendering, we’re just letting you off strategically!
“Let’s hope your leader is fast, we haven’t eaten yet.” Bai Xiaofei snorted. Then, he ordered his men to loot the spoils and tie up the enemy troops.
