Chapter 2016: Chapter 2015: Commander’s Order
Ten days.
Passed in a flash.
When the remodeling was completed on this day, Li Feng walked out of the bunker, and a lion rider had already rushed to the front.
"Feng Yang of the Fire Phoenix Clan, listen to your orders."
"By the commander’s order, deploy the Fire Phoenix Clan to attack the First Line Pass for three days without fail."
Wanyan Tiemu finished reading the commander’s order: "Feng Yang, accept the order." Then he directly threw the parchment in his hand towards Li Feng.
Li Feng’s trusted aide standing beside him heard this commander’s order and was immediately infuriated, looking at Wanyan Tiemu: "It’s you again, daring to show off here."
Wanyan Tiemu glanced at Lei Ba’s clenched fist, scoffing disdainfully: "This is no place for you to speak."
"The commander’s order is ironclad, not to be delayed. I hope Feng Yang understands this."
Li Feng received the parchment and calmly looked at Wanyan Tiemu: "Tell your Lion Commander that I will act according to the order."
"That’s best. I can’t wait to see Feng Yang’s prowess in front of the First Line Pass."
Wanyan Tiemu delivered the order and then turned away.
"Camp Master."
Lei Ba suppressed his anger and turned to Li Feng: "These bastards are simply turning against us, taking advantage and then using these sinister tricks."
"Alright, it was bound to happen sooner or later; let’s go back to the tent."
Li Feng said, turning around to return to the tent. Trusted aides, including Shaoqing, gathered around Li Feng in the tent.
"Camp Master, the Demon Clan wants us to attack the First Line Pass; how can we fight this?"
Nearly half of the trusted aides present were Li Feng’s previous personal guards brought from Ancestor Dragon City, while the other half were demons. However, those who stood here had all acknowledged Li Feng as their master, like Chong Xuan and Shi Xing, who were aware of Li Feng’s identity. The other demons were unclear, but even if they were aware, they would likely follow Li Feng to the end.
After all, the demons Li Feng chose have no status in the Demon Country; some lives are nearing their end, so Li Feng can be said to offer rebirth. Moreover, the power of Phoenix Flame that fills their bodies is marked by Li Feng’s imprint.
"This is clearly a method of using someone else’s knife to kill, seeing our progress these days and recruiting many demons, so they harbor malice and use the First Line Pass against us."
"Enough, debating this is useless now; the commander’s order has been given, obviously leaving no room. Whether we want to attack the First Line Pass or not, we must."
Li Feng waved his hand to interrupt the arguments below.
"But Camp Master, are we really going to attack the First Line Pass?" Lei Ba spoke again, fearing not the strength of the First Line Pass but the cultivators from Ancestor Dragon City stationed there. If they attacked, wouldn’t they become rebels of Ancestor Dragon City?
"Attack, why not?"
Li Feng had no concerns, looking around: "This attack on the First Line Pass must not only be executed but executed forcefully."
"Chong Xuan."
Chong Xuan looked at Li Feng: "At your service."
"In these ten days, how much military strength do we have now?" Li Feng asked.
"Replying to Young Master, when we first arrived, there were over thirty thousand demon warriors, but a few thousand were injured. After these days of recovery, sixty to seventy percent of them have returned to duty. According to Young Master’s instructions, they have been divided into five camps and ten factions, totaling twenty-five thousand."
"In these seven or eight days, they’ve exchanged military qualification for some demon warriors, gaining five thousand extra troops, divided into ten camps and twenty factions, along with a reserve camp and Young Master’s personal guard camp, totaling over ten thousand."
"Currently, we have nearly ninety thousand troops, but apart from the personal guard camp which is relatively elite, the other fifteen camps are roughly trained, practically a gathering of disorganized soldiers."
Chong Xuan reported the military strength briefly. Despite seeming numerous, they hadn’t been idle these ten days, but he knew that facing over ten thousand wolf riders in a charge, their gathered forces could still be overwhelmed.
Sometimes mere quantity isn’t enough.
Li Feng tapped the armrest and directly ordered: "Well, since they’ve all been trained, pass the order, starting tomorrow the fifteen factions of the main camp will be divided into three groups, attacking Ancestor Dragon City by camp."
"My request is simple, a camp attacks for one hour. I don’t care about casualties; as long as anyone survives within that hour, they will receive a blessing from me."
"Just pass this order."
"Yes, Young Master."
Chong Xuan nodded.
"Personal Guard Camp will join me in the battle, ready to follow my command at any time." Li Feng looked at his personal guard commander.
Currently, Li Feng’s personal guard strength wasn’t weak; these days Li Feng hadn’t only cared for outsiders but frequently gave special treatments.
Currently, the personal guard camp numbered fifteen hundred, with five hundred dog clan riders, three hundred bear clan heavy armored troops, plus a mixed force of seven hundred, including mountain-piercing clan members and some powerful demons Li Feng recruited. Despite being varied, their individual combat strength was formidable.
"Yes."
"Get ready, everyone."
Li Feng waved his hand.
The tent quickly emptied, leaving only Bi Fang in the corner: "Bi Fang, help me deliver a message."
"Oh, what message do you want to deliver?"
"Inform Ouyang Tianshu about my plans to attack the First Line Pass tomorrow."
"Are you hoping for them to turn a blind eye over there?" Bi Fang looked at Li Feng.
Li Feng said: "Not to turn a blind eye, just notify the other party, saying I’m forced to do this. As for the siege, let him act freely, without concern."
"Also, if necessary I may go personally, please invite him for a battle then."
Bi Fang looked at Li Feng, somewhat puzzled by his intentions.
"Is that all?"
"Is there nothing you want me to deliver to Sikong Yu or Ouyang Qiuhai?"
"Just those."
"Go now before night falls, while the guard is light."
"Alright."
Bi Fang hummed, spread his wings, and left the tent, soon transforming into a ray of light and disappearing.
"Lion Commander, Feng Yang has accepted the commander’s order."
Wanyan Tiemu returned to the central camp and reported to Lion Commander Wanyan Xiu.
"What’s their attitude?"
Wanyan Xiu asked.
"Attitude, they didn’t change much, seeming as if they expected it, but who knows if they’re pretending. However, his trusted aides are furious, even saying we are turning against them."
Wanyan Xiu smirked slightly.
"He’s a smart person, probably not pretending. He’s gathered tens of thousands these days, if he continues growing, we won’t have just three camps but possibly four."
Wanyan Xiu couldn’t help but marvel at the allure of the rival’s methods, casually presenting a qualification made the small tribes willing to offer over a hundred clan members in exchange.
Don’t think it’s impossible; the demon clans still uphold the Clan Leader supreme ruling system, and even in transactions, those demon tribesmen exchanged won’t likely complain.
By offering a hundred qualifications, they can exchange for tens of thousands of warriors. In a mere seven or eight days, they’ve increased to tens of thousands of demon warriors. Though these might be varied, imagine if their bloodline is refined by the other party, enhancing their power. These near ten thousand demon warriors would become a formidable force.
In time, trying to handle the opposition won’t be so easy thereafter.
