Chapter 309: Forest Camp Ambush! (1/2)
On the second level, there were 150 troops: 100 class two infantry, 30 class two archers, 20 class two nightcrawlers. Commanders: two Proficient Rank puppet masters. Stationed area: forest camp. To pass the level: capture the camp and kill over half of the troops inside before dawn. The two commanders must be killed.
Everything else was easy, what Bai Xiaofei was afraid of were the 20 nightcrawlers. To these, killing the soldiers a class lower than them was but a walk in the park, which meant the number of troops Bai Xiaofei sent would be exactly the amount he’d lose.
Squatting in the forest as the preparation time passed second by second, Bai Xiaofei's forehead was covered in sweat.
Meanwhile, the people outside sighed when they saw this.
The strongest are only the two Proficient Rank puppet masters. Why are you spending so long thinking?
As all kinds of disdainful voices flooded out, so much that they could have drowned Bai Xiaofei, only Sima Ye clenched his teeth. He knew what Bai Xiaofei was thinking!
Finally, just before the final countdown, Bai Xiaofei made up his mind. After a series of actions, 10 points were used to upgrade the first soldier and the remaining 119 points were all exchanged for basic troops – 10 basic assassins, 10 basic longbowmen, and 49 basic infantry.
Seeing this, voices of contempt arose again. Not exchanging for class two soldiers? Then how are you gonna pass the third level? Relying on class two soldiers after upgrading? Moreover, how are the class one troops going to survive this battle in the first place?
In a flash of light, over 60 people stood in a neat little team in front of Bai Xiaofei. The only class two soldier stood at the very front, looking at Bai Xiaofei with gratitude.
“Thank you, General, for your investment in me. This little one will certainly live up to your high hopes!” Now at class two, the soldier wore a suit of iron armor and a simple helmet, while the machete and shield were the same as before.
“Why are you different from the other class two infantry?” Bai Xiaofei asked as he looked at the soldier in confusion. The guy not only looked more muscular compared to normal class two infantry but also had an additional piece of equipment – the normal class two infantry had no helmet.
“Because I have been baptized by battle, how can those recruits compare to me?” the soldier proudly patted his chest as if he really had faith in what he said.
The baptism of battle… Just this sentence alone, your skin is just as thick as your general’s now…
However, Bai Xiaofei understood what he meant. Surviving soldiers would be better than newly recruited ones!
“General, what is our mission tonight?”
Unlike before, the soldier had no fear despite the overwhelming number of enemies. His eyes even revealed some expectations.
His character has also changed.
Bai Xiaofei kept this change in mind and began to consider how he should build his own army. Excellent commanders would not complain that their soldiers were too excellent, because those excellent soldiers were all trained by them!
Although Bai Xiaofei had never attended a formal command class, he had the good qualities of relying on himself and preparing for all situations.
“In a while, when the operation starts, you lead 20 infantry, 5 assassins and 5 longbowmen in a small team, find an empty high ground far enough from the enemy camp empty and lie in wait. The rest of you, scatter out into the forest. Your task is only one: run! It doesn't matter whether the others are hunted down or not, the rest just run for yourselves!”
This was another bizarre command, but everyone chose to obey, especially the soldier from the first level as he even made a solemn promise.
