Chapter 994: Moonlight Men!
“Brother Bai!!”
Quickly recovering from the shock upon seeing a blood-soaked Bai Xiaofei standing horrifyingly still with the support of Mind Sunder, the Black Dragon Swarm bandit’s Second Leader rushed to him. The moment he touched him, Bai Xiaofei collapsed.
The Second Leader hurriedly held Bai Xiaofei. After repeatedly checking and confirming that Bai Xiaofei had no fatal injuries, he heaved a sigh of relief.
“He’s just drained, nothing too serious,” announced the Second Leader.
The people around collectively sighed in relief as well. Only then did they notice the surroundings, and they collectively gasped. Did he kill all these Sacks by himself?!
Behind Bai Xiaofei, the body of the Sacks soldiers formed a long trail in the direction of Savage Wolf Ridge. Although they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they could imagine him pursuing and killing an entire army alone, and it made them gulp hard.
How did he do that?! Did the Sacks suddenly become cowards?!
“Let’s get out of here. If the Sacks come back, we won’t be able to stop them!” a bandit said as he looked around apprehensively.
These words struck everyone hard.
“That’s right, let’s leave first!” agreed the Second Leader after making sure there weren’t any other survivors.
With the Second Leader carrying Bai Xiaofei on his back, the group left in the previously agreed direction…
On another battlefield, Ye Qingcheng cut down the flag representing the Sacks at the city gate. The Moonlight army had completely retaken Divine Light Fortress. However, their injuries obviously indicated that the battle had not been easy at all.
Although there had only been 200,000 enemy troops inside the fortress, the interference from their reinforcements from the several nearby fortresses had been close to put Ye Qingcheng in grave situations. If it wasn’t that they had come with 700,000 troops, Moonlight would certainly have failed…
“Divine Light is just the beginning. Next, we shall take back all of our territories and drive the Sacks out of Moonlight forever!”
Ye Qingcheng stood on a high tower as her declaration echoed, drawing loud cheers from the troops.
However, her heart was filled with anxiety despite the victory. Winning Divine Light was only the first step to restoring the morale at the frontier, and it was equally important to ensure that the morale was stabilized throughout the future. Once any fortress in the rear was lost, their hard work would all go down the drain.
Fortunately, her concern was dispelled during the next three days as one report after another arrived, stating that everything was normal and the remaining six fortresses had not seen a shadow of the Sacks.
“Your Majesty, judging from the reinforcements of the Sacks we’ve seen so far, they should not have deployed all of their troops. Why aren’t they attacking the rear areas at all?”
In Ye Qingcheng’s room, Tan Yueru was voicing her doubts. She had been ready to help the rear and even worried that they had come too late.
“Have you forgotten that we still have an army?” Ye Qingcheng reminded.
Tan Yueru immediately revealed a disdainful expression.
“With just those ten thousand?! The Sacks still have at least 300,000 troops left. If they actually cross paths, I’m afraid those men won’t even be able to stop a single wave of attacks. What can they do? Instead of believing in them, I’d rather believe that the Sacks didn’t move at all.” Tan Yueru made no effort to hide her distrust.
“Who knows? Maybe they created a miracle. Isn’t what Moonlight needs now a miracle?” said Ye Qingcheng with a calm smile, before her expression became that of amusement. “How about I give you this chance to witness the miracle? You take some people to have a look.”
Tan Yueru briefly frowned at the idea, but she then knelt. “I will do as Your Majesty instructs!”
After watching Tan Yueru leave with a smile, Ye Qingcheng sank into thought.
Divine Light was only the beginning before the climax of the frontier war. The once-in-a-century unity of the Sacks definitely posed a disastrous challenge for Moonlight.
Moreover, after the battle at Divine Light, Ye Qingcheng deeply felt the difference between the current Sacks and the past.
“Let’s just hope that senior wasn’t wrong. It’s not enough to rely on Moonlight alone this time…”
……
After the situation at Divine Light stabilized, the Moonlight troops successively returned to their respective fortresses, while Tan Yueru headed toward Brilliance Fortress according to Ye Qingcheng’s instruction.
However, what they didn’t know was that Brilliance Fortress wasn’t Bai Xiaofei’s designated goal…
