Chapter 1008: The Sacks’ Stalemate!

“Is everything ready?”

After approaching the targeted granary, Zhuang Shuo’s group immediately found a place to hide where they could observe it from.

“We’ve pinpointed all the secret posts around and have all the open posts monitored. We can act now,” Lil’ Six reported.

Zhuang Shuo’s expression grew serious.

“Once we start, you are responsible for containing the opponent while I sneak in with a few people. Immediately run after that, do not engage in combat. If any brother of ours is hurt, I’ll hold you responsible!” Zhuang Shuo’s tone was harsh as he stared at Lil’ Six.

“Don’t worry, Boss Zhuang! If we don’t run, wouldn’t our two weeks of suffering go down the drain? But boss Zhuang, you must be careful after you set the fire!” Lil’ Six said.

The rest also looked at Zhuang Shuo worriedly.

“You think I need you to worry about me? I still haven’t gotten to enjoy life yet, how can I die? Stop nagging and get ready!”

The group of people immediately started moving. Lil’ Six brought a team and swaggered to the granary, which the guards hiding in the area didn’t take long to notice.

“Don’t you know this is a restricted area?! What tribe are you from?!” shouted a guard as he grabbed his weapon.

Lil’ Six hurriedly waved his hand to indicate that he was one of their own. “Brothers, it’s fine. We were sent by the Saintess. We heard that someone was going to attack this place and came to check on the situation,” he replied.

The guards immediately revealed puzzled expressions.

“The Saintess would always send someone to inform us first, why is it different this time? Do you have her token?” The guards didn’t relax their vigilance at all.

“Of course. Let me show you,” said Lil’ Six calmly as he reached into his chest pocket.

That was the secret signal to act. As the guards all focused on Lil’ Six, the rest suddenly raised their hands. Spring-loaded arrows shot out and took down a group of Sacks soldiers. At the same time, the Fickle soldiers ambushing the open and secret posts rushed out, taking down their opponents in a heartbeat.

Only then did the remaining Sacks finally react. They charged at Lil’ Six’s group while sounding the alarm.

“Moonlight attack!!!”

As the alarms echoed in the area, more and more Sacks rushed out. However, as Zhuang Shuo had investigated before, this secret granary didn’t have many guards. At least, not enough to surround and kill Lil’ Six’s group!

Although the Fickle Army gained the upper hand in the first wave of attacks, they had no intention to engage in a prolonged fight and kept retreating. It didn’t take long for the fight to be inadvertently pulled away from the granary.

“Reinforcements are coming! Withdraw!” Lil’ Six shouted.

The group immediately scattered. Having memorized the surrounding routes by heart, the 100-odd people quickly disappeared.

The Sacks reinforcements immediately searched the surrounding area, while the granary guards hurriedly returned to their posts.

Due to this surprise attack, the already jittery fortress was put under even stricter monitoring as the Saintess ordered a lockdown. No one was allowed to act at will, even the patrols. At this point, only the Saintess’s exclusive troops were qualified to move freely in the fortress. The granaries also welcomed additional personnel for defense.

Little did they know that the people they were looking for all over the city had already infiltrated their most heavily guarded places…

“It’s time.” Inside the granary, Zhuang Shuo took a deep breath.

Hearing this, the dozen Fickle soldiers gathered nervously.

“The oil’s poured. We can start,” said a soldier as he handed Zhuang Shuo a torch.
