Chapter 1002: Fickle’s Might (1)
“What if you lose?” asked the general coldly as she suppressed her urge to lash out.
Smiling, Bai Xiaofei uttered, “How about we give you our six hundred and sixty-four heads?”
As his voice echoed, a chill ran down everyone’s back.
“Your heads are useless to me. Just get out of the frontier and stop blocking our sight.” The general’s attitude couldn’t help but weaken. Dropping these words, she quickly led her people to leave. For some reason, she felt very uncomfortable when confronting Bai Xiaofei.
After they left, Tan Xin immediately came up to Bai Xiaofei and asked in surprise, “Your research succeeded?!” The rest didn’t know where the chill running down their back just now was from, but she knew very well.
“Sort of, but my control isn’t quite there yet, I don’t know if it will be effective against the Sacks,” replied Bai Xiaofei with a grin.
In the past half month, Bai Xiaofei had not been idle at all in the evening as he had been studying how to enhance his strength under the condition that his energy was sealed!
The battle with Ahetu had made him realize that he had severely underestimated the Sacks. If Ahetu hadn’t misjudged the situation, he could have absolutely annihilated Bai Xiaofei’s army back then.
Therefore, in order to ensure his own safety in the next battle, power was the difficulty that Bai Xiaofei had to overcome, and driven by this idea, he had placed the focus of his study on the unique mix of energy that he had acquired in Ethereal.
The energy being sealed didn’t mean that it had disappeared, it just couldn’t be mobilized. Therefore, if he could make his energy work without having to be mobilized, the Sacks’ sealing ability would be useless!
Bai Xiaofei’s unique situation made this conjecture possible to be realized. First of all, he had no fixed energy gathering point as his energy was evenly distributed all over his body. Therefore, it didn’t need to circulate and could directly take effect in any part. Secondly, Bai Xiaofei’s energy had many characteristics that automatically influenced the opponent accordingly without needing any guidance from him.
Therefore, Bai Xiaofei had determined his research direction – Under the condition that his energy wasn’t mobilized, release the effects of his energy such as resentment, murderous intent, pressure… etc.
For half a month, he had devoted every bit of his free time to this research, and his hard work paid off. Currently, Bai Xiaofei was able to release the effect of resentment! Although it couldn’t play a big role in actual combat yet, the result might just surprise if used in a confrontation.
“Do your best! I’m looking forward to the day when you scare people into peeing with just a glare!” Tan Xin patted Bai Xiaofei’s shoulder with a look of high hopes. Suddenly, she remembered something. “But what was that you and that general talked about?”
This question struck Bai Xiaofei. He nearly forgot about it!
“Something grand!” He chortled and headed into the camp to assemble the Fickle Army.
As Bai Xiaofei explained everything to them, the men weren’t scared at all and were instead extremely excited about attacking the enemy’s temporary bases. Then, they carried this mood with them as they set out for the first operation ever after arriving at Divine Light Fortress!
Under the scornful gaze of most people in the fortress, the 600-odd people marched toward the area between Moonlight and the Sacks.
After they left, the three generals also set out with their armies, each of which, unlike Bai Xiaofei, were 50,000-strong and taking three different directions, occupying an absolute advantage in numbers.
The commotion in Divine Light was naturally noticed by the spies. The Sacks fortress guards immediately entered high alert.
For Moonlight, these small fortresses were a battleground, but for the Sacks, they were a must-defend area!
After spending half a day on the road, Bai Xiaofei’s army arrived at the vicinity of the first fortress when the sky had begun to darken.
“Zhuang Shuo, bring a few people to check out the situation. I need to know the opponent’s approximate force before it’s completely dark. Also, find out the position of all the posts, obvious or hidden, so as to pave the way for our operation at night.”
“Old Zhu, take a group and prepare for a retreat route if we ever need it. While you’re at it, plant some scouts at the periphery just in case they have reinforcements, even if this is basically impossible.”
“Sister Qingtong, you’re in charge of hiding our horses. Don’t hide them too far away so that we can summon them at any time.”
“The rest of you, keep quiet!”
Bai Xiaofei issued several orders in a row and everyone immediately moved accordingly, while the main force quietly lay prone on the spot.
