Chapter 1004: All is Fair in War!
Baijiang’s roar stunned his men. When they realized what he had just said, everyone instantly rushed out.
However, the scene outside horrified them.
Standing there weren’t his guards but a group of strangers in dark clothes and the guards had fallen into pools of blood at their feet.
“Sorry, you realized it too late.” Bai Xiaofei grinned. The next second, a series of hooks flew out from behind him and met the charging Sacks soldiers.
Hearing the shrieks of his troops outside, Baijiang’s face paled. With a wry smile, Baijiang put on his armor, picked up his greatsword, and walked out.
“Can you tell me your name?”
Facing the Fickle Army, no fear could be seen from Baijiang. On the contrary, his eyes were filled with fighting spirit.
“The first male general of Moonlight, Fickle Bai!” said Bai Xiaofei slowly with admiration for Baijiang in his voice. If it weren’t for them being on the opposite sides, he would have loved to get drunk with a general of such bearing like Baijiang.
“Very good! It seems that I, Baijiang, underestimated Moonlight! So, General Bai, how about letting me die a more decent death?” Baijiang raised his greatsword as his eyes intently watched Bai Xiaofei.
“Heroes, of course, die in their own way! Zhuang Shuo, take everyone to help Old Zhu,” said Bai Xiaofei as he drew Mind Sunder.
The Fickle soldiers instantly retreated.
The next moment, Bai Xiaofei and Baijiang charged at each other…
Heroes understand each other when their weapons clash. As Baijiang fell to Mind Sunder, a complicated smile rose from the corners of his lips. “You are very strong, but don’t underestimate the Saintess.”
With that last sentence, Baijiang slowly closed his eyes.
Putting away Mind Sunder, Bai Xiaofei took a deep breath. Blackie’s ability activated and a tombstone slowly condensed in front of him.
“If there is a next life, I hope we can have a drink together.”
After burying Baijiang, Bai Xiaofei headed out. At this time, Zhu Chunyang’s group had retreated from the west gate, while Ye Qingtong, Tan Xin, and Zhuang Shuo had started guerrilla warfare within the fortress.
That night was a long night for the Sacks. From the beginning to the end, they didn’t have any formal confrontation with the Fickle Army but kept falling down one by one. Finally, with the discovery of Baijiang’s death, they completely lost their will to resist and abandoned the fortress.
When it started to get bright, the Fickle Army had finished sweeping the battlefield. Ye Qingtong, Tan Xin, and Zhu Chunyang came up to the wall where Bai Xiaofei stood quietly.
Bai Xiaofei inhaled deeply and asked, “What’s the situation?”
“We won big. We have no casualties except for 17 with minor injuries, were able to kill over 8,000 enemies, and capture 2,000. At present, we have complete control over the fortress.”
Zhuang Shuo’s report was gratifying, but Bai Xiaofei didn’t look happy at all.
“Bring this report back to the base so that Moonlight will send someone to take over. We will rest for the morning before going to the next one,” he instructed.
Zhuang Shuo withdrew with the order, while the other three looked at Bai Xiaofei thoughtfully.
“Let the prisoners go,” Bai Xiaofei decided after a long silence.
“Let them go?! That’s two whole thousand!” exclaimed Zhu Chunyang. In a head-on confrontation, these two thousand people alone could create huge problems for the Fickle Army!
“Otherwise? Kill them?” Bai Xiaofei asked back, rendering Zhu Chunyang speechless.
It was indeed inappropriate to kill prisoners.
“Even so, you should hand them over to Moonlight,” Zhu Chunyang remarked with a frown.
“How is that different from killing them?” Bai Xiaofei asked.
No one spoke again this time. However, the three still didn’t understand what Bai Xiaofei was thinking.
“I don’t know what you have in mind, but letting them go is not good for our next action,” Ye Qingtong said the words that everyone was thinking.
If the prisoners were released, they would definitely report the existence of the Fickle Army to the Sacks. Once the other party was prepared, it would be difficult for them in the future as they had heavily relied on the element of surprise.
“Do you think I’m the type to make stupid decisions? I’m not scared of them reporting back to the Sacks about us,” replied Bai Xiaofei calmly.
The three were dumbstruck. Do we actually have a wrong understanding of the Fickle Army?! Isn’t this a small elite team specialized in secret operations? That’s why we trained for half a month!
