Chapter 1072: A Formidable Enemy Approaches (3)

However…

If the Sacred Dragon Emperor was shameless enough to push Ji Fengyan’s old acquaintances to the front line, could she really strike down her former companions?

Ji Fengyan did not know. She completely could not answer this question.

When Chi Tong saw Ji Fengyan’s reaction, he knew the inner turmoil that Ji Fengyan was experiencing. He exchanged a glance with Gong Zhiyu, who was next to him, and they both smiled wryly.

Perhaps the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon was not the most powerful country in the world, perhaps it could not compare with the powerful and prosperous Kingdom of Sa Er in terms of absolute supremacy, but… it was Ji Fengyan’s most formidable enemy.

“If you really can’t do it… perhaps we could think of a way to lure them away?” Meng Fusheng asked naively.

Linghe shook his head immediately. “It can’t be done. Our mistress single-handedly brought up the Wolf Smoke Regiment. Although this group of people are young, but they have been trained well and their fighting abilities are extremely strong. It would be too difficult to lure them away.”

Linghe had personally witnessed Ji Fengyan train the Wolf Smoke Regiment. Naturally, he knew how frightening the fighting abilities of the wolf cubs were.

Further, Lu Shaoqing was intelligent, capable and especially good at strategizing. Unless the plan was flawless, someone might see through it. Also, no one could guarantee that a fight would not break out in the process of luring them aside.

But Ji Fengyan wished neither the people of the Kingdom of Hua Xia or the people of the Wolf Smoke Regiment to be harmed.

At that moment, everyone was at a stalemate. But they had not noticed that at some point, Liu Huo’s figure had appeared among the shadows of the great hall. He stood silently in the corner. From a moderate distance away, he looked at the frowning Ji Fengyan, his emotions in turmoil.

Further afield, a troop of soldiers clad in silver armor was rapidly advancing through the wilderness. Their numbers were quite small and did not exceed ten thousand. Behind them snaked a long column of troops.

However, this regiment with the fewest numbers gave off an impressive killing aura. This group of soldiers were young and were at most in their early twenties. However, from the way they marched and from their aura, they did not look like an ordinary regiment.

At the head of the soldiers was a handsome young man. He was astride a tall horse and his expression was grave.

“Advisor Lu, is His Majesty telling the truth? As long as we win this battle, he is wiling to reverse the general’s verdict?” A young soldier walked briskly by the young man’s side. When he spoke, his eyes were sharp.

The young man in the lead nodded slightly. He was no other than the military advisor of the Wolf Smoke Regiment, Lu Shaoqing.

After the alliance of the three armies, the Wolf Smoke Regiment should have been richly rewarded. But no one had expected the unbelievable tragedy that had happened after their general had returned to the capital.

Killing the princess, wrecking havoc in the capital, executing family members. All these crimes had been pinned to their most respected general. The Wolf Smoke Regiment had been completely unwilling to believe everything that had happened.

They completely could not reconcile all these events with their general.

In the intervening period, the Wolf Smoke Regiment had often thought of questioning how these events had come about. They wanted Ji Fengyan’s verdict to be overturned and to that effect; they had used all their military achievements to maintain the existence of the Wolf Smoke Regiment. They also continued to refuse any leader other than Ji Fengyan.

They were waiting, waiting for their general to return.

This was the last chance that the Sacred Dragon Emperor was giving them. If they could defeat the unknown country named Hua Xia, the Sacred Dragon Emperor would re-evaluate Ji Fengyan’s case. In any case… the Wolf Smoke Regiment must be taken over by a new general.
