Chapter 941: A Battle Full of Tricks

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Black Feather Army’s current passageway to the north was through Nangeng City, Yun An City, Guang Liao City, and Wei Bei Pass.

The logistics team continued to transport resources along this path. When they were fighting in Wei Bei Pass, they did not have any grains in storage. The grains in Nangeng City had been set on fire and destroyed by Liu Yizhao, while the grains in Yun An City had been taken away by Lu Shu and the rest. Guang Liao City still had some reserves, but it was not enough for the Black Feather Army’s daily consumption.

The Black Feather Army had hoped that they would be able to seize some rations in Wei Bei Pass, but they realized that this area was very poor. When the Long Meng Army had left, they did not have the opportunity to burn or take away the rations. Thus, they were only left with a small amount of rations.

The leader of the Black Feather Army was slightly annoyed. It was said that the Long Meng Army had obtained army rations, right? Why were they only left with so little?

The rations of the Long Meng Army had also been taken away by Lu Shu and the rest…

If the leader of the Black Feather Army knew about the truth, he would sigh with emotion. When the Wei Wu Army fought, they did not even let their own people off…

But to Lu Shu, the people in this world were strangers, while the Wei Wu Army was his own people. Others were not considered.

Thus, the greatest danger to the Black Feather Army was that their home ground was not stable. They could not even ensure the smooth transport of their resources. The Wei Wu Army was not of much help either.

The commander of the Black Feather Army had people on the grassroots level. Thus, when he started to pay attention to the bets in the palace, he heard that the Song Ji family were buying large amounts of magical armor.

The Song Ji was a family of aristocrats. They had not fought for many years. Why did they need magical armor now? One did not even have to think to understand that they were working for the Wei Wu Army.

The Wei Wu Army was already strong overall. It was just that they were few in numbers. Now that all of them had magical armor, they were no laughing matter.

They could not just give up on Wei Bei Pass and fight the Wei Wu Army to their deaths, right?

100 thousand people fighting 5000 people to the death? It was a waste of manpower, no matter how you thought about it!

Another problem was that after the overall strength of the Wei Wu Army had increased, not only could they fight, they could also run very quickly. They would run if they were told to run. The Black Feather Army could not even catch up. Could you believe that they had four Rank Ones to guard their retreat?

The leader of the Black Feather Army had been busy over the past few days adjusting the organization of the troops. He wanted to form a troop that was on par with the Wei Wu Army.

All along, there was an equal distribution of Rank Ones to Rank Fives in each troop. All levels of strength were present. But now, it was different. The leader of the Black Feather Army decided that they could allow a few troops to give up their stronger powers so that they could form a troop that was on par with the Wei Wu Army and could catch up to them.

But he realized that there were not many strong warriors in the Black Feather Army. They only had four Rank Ones and over 2000 Ranks Threes. Even their top powers were no match for the Wei Wu Army… and the Wei Wu Army had magical armor as well!

But no matter what, the leader of the Black Feather Army realized that the Wei Wu Army’s high mobility was very important in battles. He waited and hoped that the gambling dens in the palace would place new bets. This way, he would know what the Wei Wu Army was planning next and could target them.

The leader of the Black Feather Army sighed with emotion. The Wei Wu Army was strange and hard to predict. He had to rely on bets for information… this was the first time the Black Feather Army used this method of intelligence.

If all failed, he would place a bet that the Black Feather Army would lose. In the worst case scenario, he would give up his position as the leader of the Black Feather Army and become a rich man in the palace…

As the Black Feather Army secretly adjusted their organization to ambush the Wei Wu Army, the aristocrats in the North Region also had a secret discussion.

At first, they had wanted to wait and see. They would send soldiers to defeat the Black Feather Army after the Black Feather Army headed north to expand their territory and split up their men.

After all, if the Black Feather Army wanted to maintain the unimpeded movement of their logistics, they had to take a city and deploy troops to guard that city. Once their line of defense grew longer, the strength of the Black Feather Army would become diluted.

They had waited for almost a month, but the Black Feather Army had been delayed at Wei Bei Pass by the Wei Wu Army!

Everyone sent their slaves to talk with the Wei Wu Army, but they all failed. If they had repelled the Black Feather Army, it was still fine as the results were positive. But if the Black Feather Army had not been pushed back, they all had the responsibility to not do anything.

But if they did not attack, the Wei Wu Army would receive the most credit. When the aristocrats thought about the broken Wei Wu Army monopolizing the rewards, they were somewhat unhappy…

Thus, the seven aristocrats focused on the situation. Three aristocrats had already had a secret agreement to push the Black Feather Army back! When they saw that the Black Feather Army was helpless against the Wei Wu Army, they started to consider whether the Black Feather Army was not as strong as they had expected.

The Black Feather Army was waiting for new bets to be placed in the palace. But before they could wait for the Wei Wu Army, the aristocrats in the North Region had made their move…

The leader of the Black Feather Army was upset. They could not settle the Wei Wu Army, but now they had to deal with the aristocrats too? Who in the world dared to bully the Black Feather Army? There were many experts from the Lord of Heaven in the Black Feather Army. They would carry out great plans. They were already very frustrated that the troops in the north had been held back by the Wei Wu Army. Did everyone want to bully the Black Feather Army?

But he was slightly worried. What if the aristocrats and the Wei Wu Army collaborated with each other? What would they do?

There was a new bet in the palace. Will the Wei Wu Army collaborate with the soldiers deployed by the aristocrats in the North Region?

The leader of the Black Feather Army wanted to use this to determine whether the Wei Wu Army would deploy their forces. But the bets placed on both sides were very low. They did not point to any conclusion.

At that moment, a guest came from the Qing Sai Army. The leader of the Black Feather Army sat in the central military tent. He looked at the handsome young man in front of him and said calmly, “It’s quite interesting that the commander of the Qing Sai Army was willing to become a scout for someone else. And now, you dare to come here alone? Tell me. What are you here for?”

Liu Yizhao smiled. “1.5 million. This is a very good price.”

The leader of the Black Feather Army was dumbfounded. “What 1.5 million?”

The next moment, the leader of the Black Feather Army almost exploded with rage. Was he here to trick them?!

Could the Wei Wu Army fight properly? They played so many tricks in just one battle. Were you done? Huh?

But the leader of the Black Feather Army was not an ordinary person. He quickly regained his composure.

Now was not the time to be upset. As the leader of an army, he could not allow his emotions to control him. He had to control his emotions.

The Wei Wu Army was now very powerful, and the Black Feather Army was helpless against them. Thus, they had to think about how to maximize their benefits.

Thus, the leader of the Black Feather Army ordered his men to pass 1.5 million notes to Liu Yizhao. Then, he passed on this information to his friend in the palace and bet 5 million notes that the Wei Wu Army would not deploy their forces…

He had bought this in secret. No one knew that the Black Feather Army already had information.

The leader of the Black Feather Army felt that he was giving himself a route of escape.
