Chapter 1999: Chapter 1998: A Mixed Bag
Yue Li gracefully landed several meters away on the Silver Moon Wolf King’s back, but at this moment, her silver armor had been discarded, revealing the skin-tight leather armor underneath, sexy as if she were wearing a bikini.
Her long silver hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, and Yue Li raised her gaze to look at Li Feng, who was sitting on the Horned Rhinoceros.
The opponent’s gift is indeed frustrating.
Yue Li cast a cutting glance at Li Feng but didn’t charge at him in a rage and battle for three hundred rounds.
"I’ve accepted your gift, we’ll meet again."
After speaking, Yue Li turned around and rode the Silver Moon Wolf King’s back, galloping away, and the thousands of wolf riders also turned back, leaving without a trace, only leaving behind a mess.
"Camp Master, what does this Wolf Clan mean?"
"Heh, it’s just a warning shot." Li Feng said lightly, but he couldn’t deny that the charge of ten thousand wolf riders was indeed surprising, as personal combat power seemed inadequate in the face of such a massive outbreak.
"Organize the troops, bypass the camp to the base."
Li Feng ordered, and his trusted aides immediately scattered out, while the crumbled frontline troops were now groaning all around. Although the Silver Moon Wolf Riders hadn’t meted out death, the charge had still left many vanguards scattered, with some unlucky ones directly killed by the fall.
Even if not dead, injuries were widespread, affecting more than half, while only a few rugged demon clan members were merely disheveled.
As for the middle and rear troops, they fared slightly better but were still thrown off balance by the Gang Wind, their formations thoroughly disrupted. The loss could still be acceptable, but the blow to morale was paramount.
Gathering tens of thousands of demon clan members was meant to boost momentum, but the opponent dispatched thousands of wolf riders and stole the thunder, diminishing Li Feng’s side’s morale.
Chong Xuan, standing by, looked at Li Feng: "Master, today’s actions might actually be a good thing."
"Oh?"
"Good thing, have you gone senile, old turtle?"
Ran Yue turned her head to look at Chong Xuan.
Chong Xuan smiled gently; being called an old turtle by Ran Yue didn’t bother him, considering she was closely accompanying Li Feng, clearly showing a deep relationship.
"This move by the Wolf Clan must have been under the orders of the Wolf Commander; otherwise, how could they mobilize thousands of elite wolf riders to attack us? It was clearly intentional."
"Certainly, this move strikes a blow to our troops’ morale, but thinking from another perspective, perhaps the opponents don’t suspect your identity, Master."
Li Feng, listening to Chong Xuan, smiled lightly: "It seems the opponents truly take me as a descendant of the Fire Phoenix Clan, mobilizing thousands of wolf riders to intimidate me, both respecting and warning me not to go overboard."
"Just as you said, their attitude is better than the worst-case scenario we imagined. If they attacked me disregarding everything, that would have been difficult."
The current outcome is neither good nor bad. Li Feng had already considered various possibilities, the least optimistic being they invited him and his people into their camp and set ambushes outside the tents.
If that were the case, it would prove Li Feng’s identity was exposed, and the outcome would be self-evident. Even if Li Feng could escape, those with him wouldn’t.
This was the worst-case scenario.
More than half an hour later, tens of thousands of demon clan members regrouped, but compared to their fierce spirits before, they were now shrouded in gloom, appearing dejected.
Though the troops set off again, different voices were clearly present within the ranks.
"Ah, I was a bit impulsive before; thinking about it now, I really didn’t think clearly at the time and believed in it recklessly. Seeing our numbers, we’re significant, but in front of the Eight Tribes, we are nothing."
A demon clan member sighed dejectedly.
"Yes, a single charge from ten thousand Silver Moon Wolf Riders, and our frontline collapsed. They spared us, but if they wielded real weapons, our tens of thousands wouldn’t be enough for them to slaughter."
"Heh, we’re just a ragtag group cobbled together temporarily; do you really think we can compare with those elite troops?"
"What are you thinking? What can we compare with them? Besides having more numbers, we’re nearly as good as useless in other aspects."
"Not to mention, our tens of thousands come from over a hundred different races, with larger races having up to 1,800 members, and smaller ones not even breaking a hundred, and we’re dragging families along."
"I think we’ll just end up being cannon fodder, sure to be sent to attack the First Line Pass, and compared to cannon fodder, we’re even less favored."
"Oh, how so?"
"Just think with your brain and you’ll understand. How many years has the Fire Phoenix Clan been dormant? In our memory, who has heard of the Fire Phoenix Clan? If it weren’t for its spread in the camp, who would know this clan?"
"What Dragon Emperor and Phoenix Empress ruling together, those were ancient histories. Now the Fire Phoenix Clan jumps out claiming to restore glory; even if we don’t speak of their heritage, would the Dragon Emperor agree, or the Eight Golden Tribes nod?"
"We all thought shallowly, stimulated by the means to temper bloodlines, rushing in for the advantage, but forgot one thing: the Fire Phoenix Clan is basically a broken household."
A young member of the Fox Clan looked like the voice of reason.
The surrounding demon clan members, upon hearing, felt it made sense: "So what do we do now? We’ve already joined, we can’t leave, right?"
"Hmmph, what’s wrong with leaving? We didn’t sign a slave contract, and even if you sneak away, who knows who you are."
"It’s about to be dark; you can sneak away using any excuse and leave the camp edges, why hang yourself on a single rope?"
"Hmm, makes sense, we shouldn’t stay. Originally thought following the Fire Phoenix Clan would offer prospects, but now not getting slaughtered is already the best, better to mix in the camp. Though cannon fodder there too, at least no worries of being targeted."
"Brothers, want to go together?"
The young Fox Clan member watched the surrounding demon clan members starting to discuss, subtly smirking, then quietly moved away from the group, quickly appearing elsewhere, reciting the same words as before.
As some began leaving the ranks, it caught the attention of the dispersed trusted aides, and the news soon reached Li Feng’s ears.
"Camp Master, quite a few demon clan members are leaving the ranks, and it seems to be escalating."
Li Feng, hearing the news, was mentally prepared and not too surprised: "I expected it, let those who want to leave go, don’t bother with them."
