Chapter 1016: Lure and Kill!

“Depart!”

At dawn the next day, the Sacks army resumed on their way. Although the destination was their hometown, no one was happy as it was not a triumphant return…

Per Bai Xiaofei’s decision, before setting out, Lan Shuang announced a piece of good news for the Sacks soldiers – When they passed through the tribes along the way, anyone could choose to leave the army. As a consequence, half of the troops were gone and the majority of the remaining also had plans to leave.

In the end, there were only less than 70,000 people left.

Lan Shuang couldn’t understand why Bai Xiaofei wanted to make such a move, but since Qiu Muxue was no longer with them, she had no other choice but to listen to him.

The slimming army was twice as fast as the previously huge one. Qiu Muxue, who had been following them at a distance, inwardly cursed Bai Xiaofei for being so crafty. If the number of troops continued to decrease like this, they would arrive much earlier.

However, even if it was only one person, it would still be impossible to get to Barbaric Godism in just one day!

With this doubt, Qiu Muxue continued to tail them, while Lan Shuang watched as the remaining soldiers leave one by one…

“Stop immediately and state your purpose!”

Not long after the army sped up, they were stopped by a small unit. Although the latter fell far behind in numbers, their faces didn’t show the slightest fear. On the contrary, they were especially overbearing.

“I’m asking you a question, you deaf?!” From the small unit, a man walked out domineeringly.

Upon seeing this man clearly, the soldiers at the front of the army immediately trembled.

“My… my lord, we are…” The person who replied was shaking like a leaf.

His reaction drew a snort from the domineering man. “Go and report to the Saintess that Master Mamba of the Guard Team has come to receive her, and tell her to come here at once!”

From these words, it was clear that the domineering man was a member of Barbaric Godism’s Guard Team!

For the Sacks clan, this identity represented a high and mighty position that could decide their life and death at will!

Moreover, judging from the tone and words of this member, the Saintess really meant nothing to Barbaric Godism.

“Yes, we’re on it, my lord!” the soldier replied and scrambled toward the Saintess’s carriage at the rear.

After the decision to let the soldiers leave, basically no one in the army still harbored hostility toward the Saintess, so Bai Xiaofei, who was disguised as her, had been quite safe. However, it wouldn’t be the case with the Guard Team!

When the news reached Bai Xiaofei’s ears, he sneered.

“Tell Mamba that I have considered what he told me and if he still wants to, come to see me alone. I have something to say to him,” he said and got off the carriage, then walked away from the army, quickly disappearing into the distance.

The messenger was anxious to hear this, but had no choice but to deliver these words while preparing to lose his life for it.

“You’re seeking death! Did you not hear what I said?! How dare she make Master Mamba go to her?!”

The domineering guard lifted up the messenger with one hand, full of murderous intent. However, before he could do anything, a big hand pressed down on his shoulder.

“What did I tell you? You must be polite to the Saintess!”

A cold voice rang out, and the next second, a sharp glint sliced off the domineering guard’s head before he could explain himself.

None of the people present saw what had just happened, but they all knew that it was Mamba who killed the guard!

“Alright, little brother, what did the Saintess say specifically?” Mamba’s tone softened and he looked at the messenger expectantly.
