Chapter 984 - Probing; Planting a Seed! (2/2)

Only then did the Sack troops see that most of Bai Xiaofei’s men weren’t armed and beat themselves up in regret.

Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret…

As the spoils from the captured 4000 troops were used to strengthen the defense on both sides of the valley, the attitude of the cannon fodder group made a U-turn. They recalled Bai Xiaofei’s declaration before the battle and finally started to believe it.

Perhaps this General Bai can really do what he said!

Bai Xiaofei naturally noticed this change. He was not the kind to talk nonsense in such a situation. At that time, his true purpose was to plant a seed of belief that these men could one day regain their dignity!

And now, that seed was beginning to sprout!

Meanwhile, unlike the high morale on Bai Xiaofei’s side, the Sack leader was watching the third batch of troops flee back with an ugly expression.

“What’s the situation in there?!” he asked coldly.

The troop team captain immediately knelt, shaking like a leaf.

“We… we don’t know. The first half of the way was safe, nothing abnormal, but when we got to the middle of the valley, falling boulders blocked our way and we were shot by arrows. We didn’t even see any…”

The team captain couldn’t finish his words as the angry leader cut him down with his machete.

“Look very carefully! I, Ahetu, don’t need this kind of useless trash in my army. On this kind of steep cliff, even a sharpshooter can’t hit anything below! You’re telling me they dug holes along the cliff walls?!” Ahetu’s booming voice echoed.

None of the remaining troops dared to step out and explain. There was no doubt that whoever did that would be the next one to be cut down.

“Send five thousand in with siege equipment. You see boulders, you smash them! The catapults are ready. Once you go in, throw explosives atop the cliff. Also, send another six thousand to climb up the cliffs!” ordered Ahetu, obviously planning to attack the valley like he would siege a city.

However, climbing up cliffs was much more difficult than climbing up a city wall. Going up to the top from Bai Xiaofei’s side was only climbing a gentle slope, but going up from the Sacks’ side were cliffs that inclined 70 to 80 degrees!

As the Sacks moved again, Bai Xiaofei got the report from below, and the approximate numbers in the report did not make him happy.

He had to admit that Ahetu had a certain command talent, or else he wouldn’t have been appointed as the commander of the ambush troops.

Unfortunately for him, he was completely in the dark about Bai Xiaofei’s situation…

“Come! You’d better split all of your thousands of troops into batches and watch this lord eat them up one by one!”
