Chapter 2096: Chapter 2094: Divine Assist

Night.

On one side of the camp, which should have quieted down, unrest erupted, spreading rapidly like a camp howl.

The three of them, Li Feng, hiding in a tent outside the inner camp, also sensed the commotion outside. They exchanged glances, and immediately Li Feng lifted the tent flap, gazing southward towards the camp, in the direction connected to the right main camp held by the Wolf Clan.

With the cover of night, plus the current chaos within the camp, no one paid attention to Li Feng and his companions as they quickly reached the south side of the camp, where there was a standoff between two sides.

Calling it a standoff might not be accurate; it was more like a one-sided crushing.

"What is happening up ahead?"

Li Feng pulled over a demon soldier and asked.

The demon soldier turned to look at Li Feng, naturally not recognizing his identity. However, the demon soldier knew there were some human cultivators in the camp, close confidants of the Feng Yang lord of the Fire Phoenix Clan.

"What else could be happening? Some demon soldiers heard that tomorrow we would still be going to First Line Pass as cannon fodder, so they thought about returning to their original camp. But as soon as they left the camp, they were caught by the Wolf Clan wolf cavalry."

"It seems they weren’t allowed to leave. A few demon soldiers were dissatisfied and argued, and were immediately cut down by the wolf cavalry. Others who wanted to leave became angry, and someone led a charge."

"Unexpectedly, the Wolf Clan directly deployed a large squad of wolf cavalry, lined up and swept across, cutting down those who dared to run. The rest of the demon soldiers, seeing this, hurriedly ran back, scared out of their wits. Those wolf cavalry blocked the outside of the camp."

Just as the demon soldier finished speaking, the sound of heavy cavalry passing by came from behind.

"Make way, make way, it’s Lord Chong Xuan coming."

The surrounding demon clan parted, creating a path, and then a squad of horned rhinoceros heavy cavalry passed through the passage and arrived outside the camp.

"What happened?"

Chong Xuan reached outside the camp, raising his eyes to look at the neatly arrayed wolf cavalry opposite. At this time, a demon general captain walked out from the wolf cavalry, glancing down at Chong Xuan from on high.

"Nothing much, just helping your Fire Phoenix Army catch some deserters. No need for thanks, as our Wolf Commander has a good relationship with your general. It’s our duty to help."

"Oh, by the way, our Wolf Commander also instructed that the Fire Phoenix Army was formed too quickly and lacks cohesion. As your ally, we take on some responsibility. Starting today, we’ll be responsible for patrolling the perimeter of the Fire Phoenix Army to prevent mass desertions."

Chong Xuan looked at the demon general captain opposite, guessing why they were doing this. They claimed to be helping with patrols, but in truth, they were monitoring the Fire Phoenix Army’s camp.

Chong Xuan took a deep breath: "Thank you to the Wolf Commander for the thoughtful gesture. When our general returns, he will personally come to express his gratitude."

"Heh, sure, our Wolf Commander will be waiting in the camp."

The demon general of the Wolf Clan sneered internally. Returning? Dream on.

Chong Xuan glanced at the others, then turned straightforwardly to look behind: "Dismiss everyone." Saying this, he didn’t stay around much, coming and leaving in a hurry.

Chong Xuan left, and the demon general of the Wolf Clan continued sneering. Without a backbone, the Fire Phoenix Army was just meat on the chopping board.

"Men, start the patrol."

Afterward, a large group of wolf riders began to split into small teams, patrolling around the Fire Phoenix Camp’s perimeter, only tens of meters away, their shadows visible even at night.

With Chong Xuan gone and the wolf cavalry patrolling, it caused an uproar among the demon soldiers below.

"This is outright pushing demons to their deaths."

"Who wouldn’t agree, when we came, nobody cared, now we just want to return, and they won’t allow it, where’s the logic?"

Walking along the outer camp area, listening to the complaints of many demon soldiers, Li Feng and Zhuge Xuanji didn’t get angry; instead, they smiled knowingly.

"The Wolf Clan’s move is indeed a godsend; we don’t even need to do much to already rile up the grievances of these demon soldiers."

Zhuge Xuanji said.

"Yes, but just the resentment isn’t enough; we still need to add fuel to the fire."

Li Feng nodded. The order previously given by the Lion Commander was only spread in a small area. Since Li Feng stayed in the inner camp, separate from the outer camp, only a few people overheard and snuck away; the news didn’t spread widely.

But Li Feng had Shi Xing deliver a few messages to Chong Xuan, one of which was to spread the Lion Commander’s order widely, with embellished details.

Intentionally spreading this naturally reached the outer demon clan, letting them know that tomorrow the Fire Phoenix Army would launch a major attack on First Line Pass, and arrange for them as cannon fodder at the forefront to die.

These demons, who came because of Li Feng’s reputation, hadn’t settled down, and upon hearing they were to be used as cannon fodder, naturally refused. Many of them came believing the Fire Phoenix Army wouldn’t have to dispatch soldiers to First Line Pass.

But now, not only were they not reaping benefits, they were to be sent as cannon fodder. This was just their luck at its worst. These demons, having no cohesion with the Fire Phoenix Army, obviously upon hearing the news, thought of leaving.

So, under the cover of night, mass numbers of demons left the camp, as the Fire Phoenix Army simply didn’t care, coming and going freely.

Unexpectedly, a large group of wolf cavalry came out halfway, blocking their path.

Had it not been for this move by the Wolf Clan, Li Feng had intended only to spread rumors, hoping for a bloody battle at First Line Pass tomorrow, to compound their grievances.

Now, with the Wolf Clan’s interference, Li Feng’s goals were even better achieved, and perhaps more fuel could be added to the fire.

Returning to the previous tent, they happened to meet Shi Xing.

"Master, where have you been, you had me worried."

"Come here, I have something to instruct."

Li Feng immediately whispered instructions into Shi Xing’s ear, to which Shi Xing nodded repeatedly.

"Do you understand?"

"Yes."

"Then strike while the iron’s hot, go and get it done quickly."

"Alright, Master, you take the cart to the supply camp while I gather people to handle it."

Li Feng later got on a supply wagon; the three sat on it and entered the inner camp, going to the most important supply camp where large amounts of grain and fodder were stored.

Upon arrival, a dog demon soldier led Li Feng and the others to a tent.

"Master, if you need anything, summon us anytime; I’ll be outside."

"Is there a tub? I need a bath."

Bai Qian suddenly asked the dog demon soldier.

The dog demon soldier looked up at Li Feng, who waved his hand: "Go prepare."

This tent was spacious enough to be divided into three rooms and a living area. In a corner, a space was partitioned off with a folding screen, and soon two dog demon soldiers had finished filling water and left.

"You two won’t peek while I bathe, right?"

Bai Qian turned to look at Li Feng and Zhuge Xuanji. Li Feng looked at Bai Qian: "Stop playing tricks; if you try to run, you’d better consider the consequences."
