Chapter 847 - Flames of War Lighting Up at the Slightest Trigger (2/2)

“Yup!”

“Then why are we here waiting for Mongolian cavaliers and getting points? Won’t the others at the camp be in grave danger?”

“Calm down a little. You’ll immediately know what I want to do in a moment.”

Happy chuckled lightly and watched the three reconnoiterers run away. He did not show any signs that he wanted to chase after them.

Then, they heard the faint sound of hooves thundering against the ground on the dark plains.

Little North blinked. He cast a glance at Happy, who still remained composed. He continued looking around the area.

Very soon, dim firelight could be seen in the direction of the dark horizon.

“The Mongolian cavaliers are here.”

“I know.”

Happy’s voice was calm, but there was a strange hint of excitement within it as well.

More firelight gradually appeared at the horizon in the distance. Galloping sounds also slowly became clearer.

The puzzlement on Little North’s face soon turned into shock!

In the beginning, he only saw one or two lights at the distance, but as time passed, two torches quickly turned to four. Then, more torches appeared far away.

Even though this was the first time Little North went to the enemy rear at night, based on some of the information circulating online, he still knew that usually, one patrolling team will only have one torch, and there will only be five people per team.

Hence, based on the number of torches, they can generally guess the number of soldiers moving at night.

But right now, Little North only saw an increasing number of torches. He sucked in a deep breath, and chills gradually spread through his body.

‘There’re too many of them!

There were at least one hundred torches in the area ahead. Now that they were spread out, this meant this was basically a large cavalier unit.

“Boss, I thought that once reconnoiterers discover enemies and fire signal flares, the first enemies we’ll lure over are patrolling guards? Why… did a large cavalier unit come in one go?”

Little North gulped with great difficulty. When he noticed that he did not obtain any response, he turned his head around and noticed that Happy was staring at some place else with his head turned to the side.

‘What is it?’

He instinctively turned his head around and looked in the direction of Happy’s gaze. Then, Little North’s eyes were fixated on that spot.

A lot of firelight also appeared at the horizon to their sides, and along with them, galloping sounds that gradually grew clearer. Aside from the direction right behind them, they actually had three large cavalier battalions appear in one go around them, and they were drawing closer to encircle them.

“…Damn it, they’re mad! How did two people coming here bring so many Mongolian cavaliers over?! If everyone is over here, we’ll be jacking up our points like crazy over the night! Boss, it’s no wonder why you were able to get so many points yesterday night!” Little North noticed that there were more than two hundred torches right ahead of them, and they were becoming clearer. Under the large layer of light, he could even see a large group of Mongolian cavaliers charging toward them.

There were around one thousand cavaliers in each direction, and that meant that there were around three cavaliers from three directions!

“Zhao Deyan, evil cult, what man and sect. They sure regard me highly.”

Only Happy alone understood that not everyone can lure out this number of Mongolian cavaliers all the time. He noticed powerful presences mixed among the cavaliers coming over from all three directions, and a hint of wariness flashed in his heart.

At that moment, Little North was already so terrified that his knees felt weak. The thundering gallops came toward them from three directions, and an unprecedented pressure practically froze the entire dimension.

“We’ve already reached our goal. We can leave now.”

When he saw this, Happy turned his head around, and he quickened his speed when he spoke, “Little North, when I lure away this group of cavaliers, immediately return to the camp. Have Silver Wolf tell everyone that they are to be ready to leave at any moment.”
