Chapter 866 - Feixuan’s Invitation (1/2)

Chapter 866: Feixuan’s Invitation

‘I lost all six hundred and twenty-five of my cavaliers during the battle in the day.

‘Now, even though I have the title of a battalion commander and have more than sixty-nine thousand points, if I exchange it all to cavaliers, I can only get about one thousand three hundred cavaliers.

‘Attacking the enemy’s logistics camp and burning their supplies is basically the same as trying to pull a tiger’s tooth and marching to my own suicide. No matter how strong I am, it’s impossible for me to tank the firepower of the Mongolian cavaliers and burn their supplies…’

After Happy left the tent, he pondered about his situation.

After all, burning supplies was different attacking the carriages sending food supplies to the army.

At the very least, the enemies could obtain his information and seize the initiative.

Also, while the Mongolian army’s supplies were located at the back of the army, there were countless reconnoiterers as well as patrolling cavaliers around there.

If he wanted to take the risk of attacking the camp right under the Mongolians’ noses, he will definitely lure the Mongolian army on his back. Perhaps the evil cult elites Zhao Deyan, Xi Yin, and Wan Wan will appear as well.

‘I honestly thought that I was lucky. I didn’t expect that this is actually bad luck.’

Happy continued criticizing the situation nonstop.

The marshal had personally said that since he had been promoted twice in a day, there might be objections in the army, and he must do something to prove his worth so that everyone will accept him. Besides, a qualified commander must be brave and smart.

If he succeeded in his operation to burn the supplies, he will secure his duty as a battalion commander. If he failed, then the points he obtained for the war during the month will all be used for him to pay for that one million points needed to get the title of a battalion commander.

Besides, he can only use his current points to gather soldiers. If he wanted to get other rewards, then he will have to succeed in his mission.

This meant that before he succeeded, he can forget about getting any sort of reward.

‘Where are my human rights?!’

The more Happy thought about it, the angrier he was. ‘The group of generals in the marshal’s tent are all bastards. They first gave me a great gift before they decided to cane me. Now, I don’t even know what to do with this “gift.”‘

But fortunately, the mission the marshal gave him was not an urgent quest. He had ten days to complete it, and he was not required to do it alone. He can ask for help for this operation.

Happy thought about it. He will temporarily prioritize getting points and get a full team of cavaliers. He should be able to do so with one day’s time. By then, Silver Wolf and the rest should be able to get a full sized medium-scale cavalier unit as well. At that time, they might as well get a total of ten thousand cavaliers and sweep through the plains.

‘Hehe…’

Without Happy’s own knowledge, the tension in him gradually bled away, and he began letting his own thoughts run wild.

“Young Swordsman Happy.”

At that moment, someone caught up to him from behind.

When Happy turned around, he saw Qin Qiong.

He caught up to Happy with a majestic gait, a heroic posture, and a smile. A thought bloomed in Happy’s mind, and he quickly turned around to greet him, not daring to show any signs of inattentiveness.

“General Qin, it’s almost daylight now. Don’t you need to prepare your soldiers for war?”

“Oh, I’m scheduled for night missions this time, and I don’t need to fight during the day.” When he arrived in front of Happy, Qin Qiong smiled and explained his situation.

He then said, “I have to congratulate you. You’re young, but you already obtained the title of a battalion commander. If you’re intent to join the army, you’ll definitely have no problem in getting to the rank of a general in the future.”

“Hahaha…”

“Brother Happy, don’t think too much into it. I’m not here to persuade you to join the Prince of Qin. It’s just that Miss Shi asked me to pass a message to you if I managed to receive you. She asked you to go to her tent to meet and talk with her. Just now, since the marshal asked to see you, I couldn’t quite pass her message, but now, I reckon that Miss Shi is already waiting anxiously,” Qin Qiong explained once he schooled his expression.

“Then, please lead the way, General Qin.”

Happy did not know the way to Shi Feixuan’s tent. Now at ease, Qin Qiong walked ahead of Happy to lead the way.
