Chapter 107: Military Camp (2/2)

Of course, most importantly, no matter how strong a Camp Supervisor in the camp was, and how big the camp was, none of them had the right to lead the whole army. You could only obey the Chief Commander's instructions. Occasionally the Chief Commander would give you the right to make decisions, but normally he wouldn't give you too much freedom to act.

Now that Zhonghe City was occupied by the Sect of Flame. As a prefecture of Qianzhou that situated in the hinterland of Jin, in any case, it was something that could not be tolerated. Therefore, when Zhonghe City was occupied, the whole Jin acted. On the third day when Zhonghe City was occupied, it was surrounded by the Jin's troops layer by layer, forming an impregnable defense.

Originally, from Jin's point of view, even though Zhonghe City wasn't small and it was situated inland. It wasn't some fortress, and it didn't even have a moat. There were not many troops either. In all respects, there could only be 5,000 men inside. According to such a situation, it would be attacked down in a few skirmishes.

Unexpectedly, after attacking for several days, the Jin's troops suffered heavy losses. Zhonghe City was still under the control of the Sect of Flame.

Of course, there were gains as well. The greatest gain was to know that there weren't so many enemy troops in the city. However, there were a lot of martial artists. Dozens of them had reached Level Three. Aside from that, the youngest Venerable Prince Xiaoming of the Sect of Flame was also in the city, and he was a Level Eight expert!

When someone reached Level Eight, he could completely ignore the advantage in numbers.

Hence, when this information was confirmed, the Jin's Chief Commander Li Yuan decisively retreated, and only ordered the armies to tightly surround Zhonghe City. They were silently waiting for reinforcements. At the same time, they sent people to ask for aid from the imperial court. He was the army's Chief Commander with bodyguards, so if the Level Eight expert in the city wanted to assassinate him, it wasn't something difficult. Thus, when waiting for reinforcements these few days, he was in an extremely bad mood. He passed a day as if it was a year. Fortunately, on the fifth day, the reinforcements arrived. It was also his life's biggest insurance, Wang She.

Junior Leopard had already obtained all of this information from the people in the martial arts world on the way to Zhonghe City.

”What the hell are these Sect of Flame members trying to do by suddenly occupying Zhonghe City for no reason. It's neither a stronghold nor a fortress. They occupied it for 10 days and got so many masters to guard it. All of these signs expressly shows that they are looking for something!”

...

...

”They're really looking for something, something very important. If not, the Sect of Flame won't suffer such losses to occupy such a place at this time!”

In the Camp of Jin Army, Chief Commander Li Yuan was looking at the city defense map of Zhonghe City. He firmly said, ”Hence, we cannot wait any longer. Every day we wait, they'll get closer to their target. If this continues, even if we manage to take down Zhonghe City, we will get no credit but errors!” speaking till here, his gaze swept over the row of generals. Lastly, it landed on Wang She who sat beside his seat and was fanning lightly, ”Chief Wang, how do you see it?”

Wang She smiled, and closed the folding fan in his hand, ”This time, I only came to listen to General's orders. If there's something, just say it. I'll go all out to help General and serve Jin!”

”How will I dare to order you!” Li Yuan silently cursed. Even though he was extremely dissatisfied with this bunch of lazy people in the martial arts world, Wang She was not an ordinary man. Aside from his Level Eight strength, his identity as the Tian Long Taoism's Chief would not be lower than him, a Chief Commander leading 100,000 troops.

Thus, all the time, Li Yuan was in a conundrum. He was hoping he would quickly come to ensure his safety. On the other hand, he was scared that after Wang She came, he would disobey his orders and interfered with his actions relying on his position and martial arts. Now that seemed willing to cooperate, whether he was sincere or fake, Li Yuan was very comfortable.

”Your words are too serious. How can I have the caliber to order you. Tomorrow, I will order the army to attack. At that time, will Chief please stay in the center army and wait for Prince Xiaoming to appear. After all, apart from Chief Wang, nobody here can deal with an expert like Prince Xiaoming!”

Wang She nodded, stood up, and slightly bowed towards Li Yuan, ”Yes, sir!”
