Chapter 1009: Kill the Dragon?

No longer coming across any scattered Sacks troops, the Fickle Army got to enjoy a rare break, which they didn’t expect to last for several hours.

“Why aren’t they doing anything?” asked Tan Xin impatiently as she could no longer sit still.

“They probably realized that they weren’t our match in street warfare, so they’ve all gone to guard the gates and hope we’ll be worn out to death in here.” Bai Xiaofei saw right through the Saintess’s plan, but he didn’t look relaxed at all.

“Wear us out to death? Their granaries have been destroyed while we have enough food to last us for ten, fifteen days,” Zhu Chunyang voiced his doubt.

“So they will definitely make new moves. We can only wait and see.” Bai Xiaofei sighed. He did not like this situation, but it wasn’t like he had a choice. No matter what, they had completed their first stage mission beautifully…

The Saintess didn’t keep them waiting for long. However, the news that Bai Xiaofei got made his heart lurch.

This woman is too cruel!

Through amplifiers around the fortress, the Saintess’s voice reached every corner. The content could be summed up in one sentence: ‘Everyone needs to get out of the fortress before 10 o’clock tonight, anyone who fails to leave will be executed!’

“Boss, what does this mean?” A confused Zhuang Shuo didn’t realize how fatal this was for the Fickle Army.

“The reason why we have the advantage is that besides us being good at small-scale skirmishes, the Sacks soldiers can’t just unleash their full strength in their own place. Once all the irrelevant people in the fortress leave, they can have no scruples at all and just besiege us because, by that time, they don’t have to think about anything and can just kill any living person they see,” Bai Xiaofei explained.

Everyone gulped.

“Can’t we just blend in to get out?” asked Ye Qingtong. In her opinion, this was not difficult for the Fickle Army.

“Impossible. You think this ‘get out of the fortress’ is as simple as it sounds? The gate guards will definitely conduct detailed investigations on everyone. In addition, our energy will be sealed, so we can only disguise ourselves. I bet that Saintess even expects us to be muddle-headed and try that,” Bai Xiaofei analyzed.

Hearing this, everyone’s expression grew ugly at once.

“So to speak, we can only wait helplessly for them to come and handle us?” Tan Xin frowned, her tone dejected.

“Yes, that’s what it looks like at the moment. However, I have good news and bad news,” said Bai Xiaofei, giving everyone some hope just as they started to look despondent.

“What’s the good news?” Ye Qingtong immediately asked. She had heard enough bad news.

“If everything is going according to my previous arrangement, then by now, Moonlight should have deployed troops to Colorful Star. As long as they arrive before we are forced to show ourselves, then we can just swagger out.”

Sure enough, this was good news. Everyone’s eyes lit up with joy.

“What’s the bad news? Don’t tell me it was just a joke,” Ye Qingtong questioned.

“Of course not, or else what’s the point of the good news, right? The bad news is that if this Saintess is composed enough, we will have to persist for at least three days before the pressure reaches this place.”

“What pressure and what not? Don’t play word games at a time like this,” Tan Xin immediately went straight to the point.

Bai Xiaofei took a deep breath. “Alright, since we have nothing to do anyway, I’ll be specific.”
