Chapter 26 Attack the Fire Tribe (1)

Chapter 26 Attack the Fire Tribe (1)

“Master, I can find you finally.”

Little Lingchong lay in Wuyou’s arms, shedding its tears. Wuyou held Lingchong firmly. In the Fairy Kingdom, Little Lingchong was the only one that could give Wuyou some comfort, but her man did not recognize her. At the thought of Xu Linghe, Wuyou could not help thinking about the snow marsh. “Although my face has changed, my love for Xu Linghe is still glowing. Even if time goes back, I will never regret it.”

In her glamorous years, she could meet her beloved man and give him her whole love. Even Xu Linghe had forgotten her, Jiang Wuyou showed no regret at all.

It was at that moment that Wuyou realized her mother’s helplessness. Actually, being unable to grow old with the lovers was an excruciating pain for her mother, but she was too young then to understand her mother.

“If only I had been more thoughtful and cared more about mother. It was my indifference that forced her to leave on the road to ruin, where she dissolved her souls, consequently, she left me for good and broke the tie between us.”

“Mom, I miss you so much.” Jiang Wuyou was overwhelmed by tears, her heart torn by grief. This moment, Jiang Wuyou missed Xu Linghe than ever. How longing she was to have Xu Linghe appear in front of her.

Seeing the master was devastated, Little Lingchong could not but worry about her. In the quiet night, Jiang Wuyou missed her parents and Xu Linghe.

“Commander in Chief, the Emperor finally made up his mind to attack the Fire Tribe, which not only imposes some penalties as a warning, but also gives Commander in Chief an opportunity to realize your ambition. Besides, it can make the border become peaceful again.”

Su Chenyang looked at the Commander in Chief with great delight. Anyway, there came a chance for him to display his righteous ardor.

But Jiang Wuyou fully understood that this was what the Emperor wanted to show to Xiao Yan in order to warn Xiao Yan not to make any trouble underhand. After all, for the interest of the country, any internal conflict would make the country lose the favor with the people. What’s more, the Emperor intended to test her loyalty.

“Commander Xiao, Military Staff Officer Xiao!”

“Yes!”

“At the time of rat, conduct a sneak-attack at the Fire Tribe’s military camps. No delay.”

“With your order, Your Excellency.” After receiving the order, Xiao Linggong and Xiao Nai receded aside.

“Military Colonia Leng!”

“Yes!”

“At the time of rabbit, come to reinforce them. No delay, or severe military punishment.”

“With your order, Your Excellency. ”

It was the first time that Jiang Wuyou had led the military to fight as Commander in Chief, so she must win this battle. Being the Commander in Chief of the armed forces, she had to be more considerate.

Looking at the receding figures of Xiao Linggong, Xiao Nai and Leng Mohan, Shen Chuya looked anxious, because he followed the Commander in Chief for the sake of defending the nation. But why did the female Commander in Chief neglect him?

It made Shen Chuya hard to accept, but he could not offend his superior in the Commander’s camp. The female Commander in Chief in sight showed a heroic spirit in her silver armor. She had not been the girl in the soul battle arena any longer. Now she was so flamboyant, her eyes glittering with wisdom.

Shen Chuya was struck by frustration. There was a world of difference between the female Commander in Chief and him now. So, he had to conceal his love for her in his heart.

Xiao Qi who was in the snow marsh far away ascended into the sky and flew to the border. Since it was Jiang Wuyou’s first fight, he should keep an eye on her.

Xiao Linggong and Xiao Nai led 5,000 picked troops to march toward the Fire Tribe in the night when the border remained calm.

They stopped in the Tao Xian Town, the closest stockaded village to the Fire Tribe. Xiao Linggong and Xiao Nai respectively led a group of forces moved toward the Fire Tribe secretly along the path.

Xiao Linggong in the lead watched the little soldier over the gate of the stockaded village. With his spiritual fingers, he turned into a plume of smoke and flew over the high wall. Seeing Xiao Linggong enter the village, Xiao Nai jumped into the barrack stealthily and opened the gate. The group of orderly soldiers ducked into the barrack under cover of the invisibility spell.

A group of sentinels strode toward Xiao Linggong from afar. Suspending in mid-air, Xiao Nai noticed it and swept his hand immediately, and then thick spirit pricks charged at the sentinels. f𝔯𝒆𝚎𝚠𝑒𝚋𝓃૦νℯƖ.co𝘮

“Thank you.”

Xiao Linggong said with his mouth rising at the corner. For Xiao Nai, the priority was to size up the Fire Tribe’s force distribution in the short time and made full preparation for the later large force pressing on the border. So now he should be of one mind with Xiao Linggong. The interests of the country should be put first while individual set aside. At present, they both strived for the interest of the Fairy Kingdom. Xiao Nai himself was fully aware that and Xiao Linggong was supposed so.

The soldiers were divided into two groups to slope deeper into the barrack. When approaching closer to the Fire-Tribe Commander’s camp, the group led by Xiao Linggong was ejected out several meters away by the defensive cover.

Xiao Linggong chanted the spell, trying to split the defensive cover of the camp. Unexpectedly, his Spirit Power rebounded from the camp. Those falling over soldiers were good spirit cultivators, saying the spells to become invisible in the grass.

Looking at the Commander’s camp, Xiao Linggong condensed his Spirit Power and swept toward the defensive cover again. With the sweep of his spiritual fingers, the defensive cover faded away gradually.

Xiao Linggong sidled to the camp. Tonight, he had to steal the Fire-Tribe military distribution map. If they wanted to have the war in their hands, it was necessary to get the hang of their enemy. For another, since the Fire Tribe always harried the border, Tao Xian Town in the borderland led an abundant life instead. This town was situated so close to the Fire Tribe but could remain peaceful. It was unreasonable.

On the contrary, market towns around were plunged into dire suffering. Therefore, Commander in Chief had Xiao Linggong to investigate it covertly. If the Tao Xian Town worked in a collision with the Fire Tribe, he would destroy the town without a doubt.

Xiao Linggong made his way noiselessly in the camp. How could such an important place be set up only one defensive cover? Xiao Linggong moved more gingerly.

Although today the Fire Tribe celebrated the first month of a year, there was no lively scene in the military camp. Looking around, Xiao Linggong did not spot anything unusual. It was as dark as pitch inside the camp, so he lit up the camp with his spirit fire on the finger to sift through the Fire-Tribe official documents to find the military map as quickly as possible. Time was running out. While he was able to pull out the military map and the confidential letters between the Fire Tribe and the Tao Xian Town, the candle in the camp lit up.

“Thief, I have been waiting for you for a long time.”

The door of the camp was shut down. Next second, an array of spiritual net pounced on Xiao Linggong.

Xiao Linggong gathered his Spirit Power and swept it toward the spell caster. Then a person dashed into the camp, red hair, blue eyes and about two meters high. No matter how strugglingly Xiao Linggong released his Spirit Power, the red-hair man could press hard on him step by step.

The camp was crammed with Spirit Power. Behind Xiao Linggong was a sheet of flames instantly. The red-hair man kept spurting blast, and the spiritual net caught fire immediately. Xiao Linggong tried to dodge the blast but still failed to avoid roaring flames. The fire got furiously ablaze. But the precious things that Commander in Chief wanted were in his chest, so he would fight his way out to send them to Commander in Chief, even at the risk of his life.

Concealed himself in his Spirit Power, Xiao Linggong penetrated the spiritual net and darted to the top of the camp. The camp in the blaze cracked everywhere. His Spirit Power crumbled into ashes, and heatwaves hurled at Xiao Linggong.

At that moment, the only hope for living was to break through the camp. So Xiao Linggong gave off his Spirit Power to the top of the camp and made continuous swipes at the red-hair man. The man leaped up to dodge the assault from Xiao Linggong. Xiao Linggong made another traverse sweep. And then the huge camp collapsed with a loud bang.

Xiao Linggong dashed out of the camp. The red-hair person refused to let Xiao Linggong escape, so his Spirit Power clenched Xiao Linggong tightly. Xiao Linggong flipped in the mid-air and shot steel needles to the red-hair man. The man adducted his fingers like a plate, and the thick steel needles were constrained in his palm firmly.

Xiao Linggong was unwilling to be engaged in the battle with the red-hair man any longer, so he jumped at the top of the camp. Then flames beneath his feet soared to the ceiling. In a blink, the camp was besieged by the flames. Soldiers came to support and rushed into the fire to rob the Commander’s print.

The red-hair man burst into rage, since the theft dared to ruin his camp. Other soldiers in the barrack flocked toward the camp. And Xiao Linggong’s invisible soldiers all drew close to him when noticing he dived out of the flames.

Glancing at the suddenly-emerging soldiers, the red-hair man showed more scorn. His hands touched the ground and beat the ground incessantly, and then hundreds of thousands of bats flipped out from the ground seams.

The red-hair man’s armor was spotted with fresh blood, and those bats crowed on the armor and sucked the blood. Floating in the mid-air, the red-hair man held an evil wand in his hand and murmured incantations ceaselessly. Those bats like puppets chased Xiao Linggong and the soldiers thick and fast. Xiao Linggong built up a defensive cover privately.

Looking at bats outside the defensive cover, Xiao Linggong and his soldiers withstood the aggression together. A black bat flapped its huge wings and crashed against the defensive cover again. The red-hair man’s bloodthirsty laughter rampaged the black bat. Then, the defensive cover was pecked broken, and then was engulfed by all the other bats in a second. A burning pain shot through Xiao Linggong’s arm. A deluge of bats sucked human’s blood. Behind Xiao Linggong, a large number of his soldiers had fallen to the ground.

Only then did Xiao Linggong realized that the bats carried Haunting Ptomaine. Whosoever was bitten by them would go mad. What’s worse, the madder, the faster the blood poison spread out in the body. When the blood poison flowed into the heart meridian, he must die without a doubt. Now the only way to save his soldiers was to have them to feign death. Only by doing so could his soldiers save their own lives. Therefore, Xiao Linggong struck at his soldiers with his hands full of Spirit Power. To their astonishment, their commander would kill them conversely.

Seeing his soldiers fall down, Xiao Linggong leaped into the mid-air and pressed hard at the red-hair man. White Tiger spread out its wings and swooped down on the red-hair man. If Xiao Linggong wanted to send the Fire-Tribe military man and the confidential letters out in life, he must kill the man before him. But Xiao Linggong felt too exhausted to see the man’s face clearly, and his heart beat furiously. In fact, the blood poison was engulfing his heart meridian and drove him manic.

“Commander Xiao, wake up.”

Xiao Nai thrust himself down to head off the red-hair man’s attack. Xiao Linggong’s eyes turned red, and he knew that he could not control himself now.

Haunting Ptomaine was eating into his heart and mind, and fresh blood ahead was tempting him. Xiao Linggong opened his mouth and rushed at the delicious prey. Xiao Nai ducked deftly Xiao Linggong’s strike and chopped him faint with his palm. He glanced at the confidential letters exposed from the Xiao Linggong’s chest and decided that he must send them to Commander in Chief, as commander Xiao had suffered Haunting Ptomaine for the sake of protecting the confidential letters.

“Your Majesty, little Prince was poisoned and he is on the verge of death now.” Leng Moyan who attacked secretly the Fire Tribe disguised himself as a little soldier, hoping that his plot could save Xiao Linggong’s life.

“A bunch of idiots!” 𝘧r𝘦𝗲w𝘦𝚋𝐧o𝘷𝘦𝙡.co𝑚

The red-hair man kicked off the soldier and flew to the barrack. Leng Moyan picked himself from the ground. Xiao Nai looked at the soldier, thinking he was vaguely familiar. With one more look, Xiao Nai discovered that it was Leng Moyan who disguised the soldier. Sure enough, the reason why Leng Moyan swindled the red-hair man to fly back was to save Xiao Nai. But Xiao Nai never thought his lifesaver could be Leng Moyan, an indifferent guy.

“Your Majesty, how to deal with these guys?”

“Kill them all.”

“Yes!”

A giant iron cage from the sky dived down to the ground. Leng Moyan vaulted up and played his Spirit Power, with Xiao Nai hard on his heels. Xiao Nai centralized his Spirit Power to lift up the iron cage. At this point, his arm was bound by a leather whip, and then, a melodious female voice rang. It sounded familiar to Xiao Nai. “Phoenix! How could it be Phoenix?” Xiao Nai could not believe his eyes at the sight of Phoenix in front of him.

“Unexpected? Nai.”

“Yes, unexpected!”

Xiao Nai gazed at Phoenix with complex emotions. His childhood playmate became his enemy now, which was hard for Xiao Nai to accept. Fate always made a surprise.

“Yes? Although the blood that flows in me is of the Phoenix Tribe, I am the princess of the Fire Tribe. I fell in love with Su Chenyang from the Fairy Kingdom, so I was fostered in the Phoenix Tribe. Xiao Nai, we should be brother and sister. But why did you attack the Fire Tribe sneakily?”

“Princess, did you confuse right and wrong? It was the Fire Tribe that went too far and slaughtered our people. I am here to answer blows with blows.”

“I heard that Jiang Wuyou became the Commander in Chief of the armed forces.”

“That’s right. Our Commander in Chief saved His Majesty from the critical situation. So she is worthy of the position.”

“I never thought that the military talisman that everyone longed for was given to an outsider. Being a man, Nai, don’t you feel jealous?”

“Take that!”

Xiao Nai jacked up the iron cage and threw it to Phoenix. Phoenix leaped into the air, spread out her wings and swept them toward Xiao Nai. Xiao Nai parried left and right to avoid Phoenix’s attack.

Xiao Nai knew that if he continued to dodge and hide like that, Xiao Linggong would die certainly. But Phoenix used to be his best friend, so he appeared a bit reluctant. But if it went on, it would affect the military situation adversely, which would be harmful to him.

“Phoenix, from now on, I will never know you.”

Xiao Nai activated his Spirit Power all over his body and turned it into a hurricane to engulf toward Phoenix. Phoenix could not see anything but the darkness. When her sight became clear, she found her throat had been throttled by Xiao Nai. Gaping with widened eyes, Phoenix did not believe but had to believe that Xiao Nai was able to capture her just with one move. She had never expected that Xiao Nai was so redoubtable.

Looking at Xiao Nai in the mid-air with his rattling robe, Phoenix could do anything but helplessly stare at Xiao Nai carry his brother away. With a gust of hurricane, nothing left except the iron cage.

“Commander in Chief, the spies report that Commander Xiao was poisoned by Haunting Ptomaine. He is on the verge of death.”
