Chapter Seventy-Four: Endurance
No one responded along the way, and Lin Feng hurried straight to the dungeon, gripping the Moon City Sword tightly, filled with murderous intent.
"Last time that Miss Mo ruined my plans. Today, if I see War Maniac, I won't hesitate—I'll kill him on sight."
Upon arriving at the dungeon, however, he found no sign of War Maniac. Lin Feng asked, "Elder Xu, where are the serious offenders?"
"General Wu? Wasn't he taken away?" the jailer replied.
Lin Feng's heart sank immediately, and he angrily demanded, "Who took him? Without my orders, Elder Xu, how dare you release a serious offender? Do you want to die?"
Xu Warden was terrified and quickly knelt down to plead for mercy. "My lord, it's a misunderstanding! It was Miss Mo from the General's Office who took him with the General's decree. She had already informed me."
"Alright, get up."
Fuming, Lin Feng stormed out of the dungeon, troubled in his mind. At least it was Miss Mo who took him; as long as he hadn't fallen into the hands of Breaking Cloud Camp, there was still a chance to kill him.
"It's all that Mo Mo's fault. If she hadn't interfered, War Maniac would have been dead by now."
Lin Feng cursed under his breath as he reached the city gate. The gate of Crossblade Camp had completely collapsed, and even the nearby city wall had a breach. Bloodstains covered the ground, along with swords and arrows left behind in haste.
Seeing all this, Lin Feng realized that a fierce battle had taken place last night, with both sides deploying Armored Soldiers.
Thinking about how his brothers had fought valiantly while he had slept soundly as their leader made Lin Feng uneasy. He imagined his subordinates cursing him for being cowardly.
"It's all that Mo Mo's fault; she truly lives up to her name—always dragging her feet."
At that moment, a figure appeared—it was Chang Long. Upon seeing Lin Feng, Chang Long perked up and opened his sleepy eyes.
"Sir, you are awake," Chang Long said with a bow.
Lin Feng looked at Chang Long, who appeared unscathed, feeling a mix of surprise and relief. He asked, "How did the battle go yesterday?"
With a flush of pride on his face, Chang Long replied, "Reporting to you, sir, under your wise command, our brothers in the Horizontal Blade Camp united as one and successfully repelled the repeated assaults from those lackeys of the Breaking Cloud Camp."
"(You won while I was sleeping?) What were the casualties?" Lin Feng asked skeptically.
"Reporting to you, sir, we lost sixteen men, thirty were seriously injured, and two hundred sustained minor injuries. No one was uninjured."
Hearing this, Lin Feng felt a sense of relief; the losses were not severe, and there was no scene of bloodshed. He then said, "Tell the brothers that the Breaking Cloud Camp consists of elite soldiers. We have many new recruits and do not have an advantage in numbers. It is normal for us to lose. However, we must not lose heart or become dispirited; we must continue training. As long as you follow me, we will eventually take our revenge."
Chang Long smiled broadly and said, "You are right, sir. We cannot become arrogant and forget ourselves after a victory; training should continue as usual. Should I wake them up? But you ordered last night that everyone could sleep in today as a reward for our victory."
"You just repelled an attack and now you're claiming victory? When did I order you to sleep in?" Lin Feng was confused.
"Sir, last night we annihilated seventy rebels and captured over a hundred Armored Soldiers. We also took more than three thousand rebel soldiers prisoner and seized countless weapons. However, later you ordered that they all be released."
"Chang Long, are you still dreaming? What nonsense is this? You can't be sleepwalking right now?"
"What do you mean, sir?"
"I was sound asleep last night! How could I have given any orders? You must be mistaken."
"It was Miss Mo who came out last night and conveyed your orders."
"(That girl again; damn it) How could we have won? How is it even possible?" Lin Feng asked angrily.
Just then, Lindor woke up and stepped out of the house. Seeing him, Chang Long called out, "Lin Brother, since you commanded last night's battle, why don't you explain it to the sir in detail?"
"Sir, it's like this."
Lindor gathered his spirits and began recounting the details of last night's battle.
Later, when Breaking Cloud Camp was determined to not let anyone escape, they took serious action. Armed with weapons, they began their assault on the city. Due to Lin Feng's disappearance, Horizontal Blade Camp had no one to command them, and the soldiers of Horizontal Blade Camp collapsed as soon as they engaged.
Although the people from Breaking Cloud Camp were armed, they did not dare to kill indiscriminately. Once they rushed into the city, they started rummaging around in search of War Maniac. Seeing the audacity of Breaking Cloud Camp, the Armored Soldiers of Horizontal Blade Camp moved out without receiving any orders. With the Armored Soldiers joining the fray, the ordinary infantry of Breaking Cloud Camp was overwhelmed, and true casualties began from that point.
"Wait a minute. You deployed Armored Soldiers. Were the Armored Soldiers of Breaking Cloud Camp just standing there watching you with awe?"
"Who was standing still? The Armored Soldiers of Breaking Cloud Camp were keeping a close watch on our Armored Soldiers. As soon as our Armored Soldiers moved, a hundred of theirs came rushing over. Oh my God, that commotion was terrifying! They didn't even bother using the city gates; they just crashed through the city wall. That's how that gap in the wall came about."
"Many of our new recruits saw the Armored Soldiers for the first time and were so scared that they stood there dumbfounded; quite a few even wet their pants. Everyone thought it was all over for them."
"Isn't that right? In such a situation, without my command to kill the enemy, how could you possibly win?" Lin Feng questioned, as if he were not part of Horizontal Blade Camp.
Chang Long then said, "Sir, I experienced what happened next firsthand; let me continue."
"I had just come out of the dungeon when I saw the Armored Soldiers from Breaking Cloud Camp crashing through the city wall and charging at us. I thought to myself, this is it. In that moment of crisis, Miss Mo suddenly appeared. She asked everyone to step back and not panic."
"When did I ask that girl Mo Mo to take action? It seems this Miss Mo has a lot of tricks up her sleeve and is not trustworthy at all. Truly insidious warfare; one cannot judge a person by their appearance," Lin Feng cursed again.
Upon hearing this, Chang Long straightened his face and said, "Sir, Miss Mo risked her life to save everyone; how can you speak about her like that?"
"Damn it, are you actually defending that girl? She really knows how to use her charms to manipulate people," Lin Feng thought to himself, still brooding over how she had bewildered him earlier. He sighed and said, "You can't truly know a person’s heart by their face; you all don't understand this. Fine, continue. What did that girl Mo Mo do afterward?"
"Yes, sir."
Chang Long spoke with immense admiration: "To be honest, I also don't know what Miss Mo did. When we saw the Armored Soldiers from Breaking Cloud Camp charging in, our people were so frightened that they retreated in droves. Only Miss Mo charged forward alone. Honestly, no one clearly saw how she got past; she suddenly appeared right in front of the Armored Soldiers from Breaking Cloud Camp."
"I knew she was one of General's people and couldn't be harmed in the slightest. I rushed forward, shouting, 'Miss Mo, run! It's dangerous, hurry!'"
"Looking back now, I feel so embarrassed. I actually told Miss Mo to run."
Miss Mo stood there, motionless, emanating an ethereal aura. As she performed a few strange hand gestures, something inexplicable happened—the Armored Soldiers of Breaking Cloud Camp seemed to be possessed and started dancing.
At this point, the usually stoic Chang Long couldn't help but burst into laughter. He continued, "You should have seen that scene; it was hilarious. A hundred Armored Soldiers from Breaking Cloud Camp swaying and wobbling, their backsides twisting around."
Then Miss Mo shouted "Break!" The hundred Armored Soldiers from Breaking Cloud Camp fell to the ground as if they were dead drunk. When we approached them, they had no strength to fight back at all. We easily stripped off their Xuanjia.
Seeing the Armored Soldiers in disarray, the people from Breaking Cloud Camp dropped their helmets and armor and fled.
Hearing all this, Lin Feng suddenly recalled that night when Mo Mo was in the dungeon: I was guarding the camp; you can sleep soundly.
Back then, he had mocked her for being arrogant. Now he realized how foolish he had been.
"Who would have thought this girl was so powerful? What kind of Divine Ability is this?" Lin Feng admired her sincerely.
Noticing Lin Feng's dazed expression, Lindor chuckled and said, "My lord, everyone knows you asked Miss Mo for help. You've been through quite a bit; everyone understands. You don’t need to pretend otherwise; you asked Miss Mo to save your brothers. They definitely won’t make fun of you."
Lin Feng suddenly sensed something was off and asked, "When did I ask that girl for help? When did I ever ask her?"
"Right, right, you didn’t."
Though Lindor said this, he exchanged a glance with Chang Long and couldn’t help but cover his mouth with a laugh.
Seeing their strange laughter, Lin Feng felt there was something he didn’t know. He pressed on, "What’s going on?"
"My lord, don’t worry; we will keep it a secret. You don’t need to test us," Lindor immediately replied, wiping the smile off his face.
“Lindor, do you want to die?” Lin Feng pulled out the Moon City Sword directly.
Lindor, feeling cornered, could only reply honestly, “Miss Mo later came with us. She was deeply focused on her cultivation at the time, and the master went to her residence to ask for her help. Miss Mo's task was only to protect the master and convey the General's orders; she couldn't get involved in other fighting matters.”
“Later, the master knelt before Miss Mo, pleading desperately. Seeing the master kneeling and bowing for over an hour moved her, and she decided to take action.”
“The master even said that as long as Miss Mo was willing to help, he would kneel in front of her for an entire night.”
At this point, Lindor expressed admiration, saying, “Master, everyone in Horizontal Blade Camp greatly respects you. You knelt for a night to save your brothers. Such humility and strength truly make you a great man and hero. Once everyone learns the truth, knowing that you did not flee but went to seek help, they will all want to repay you.”
“Master, you knelt all night last night. Why don’t we give your knees a rub?”
Lin Feng was taken aback for a moment, then his anger surged to its peak as he roared explosively, “Mo Mo, you dead witch, I’ll remember you for this. If I don’t take revenge for this grudge, I won’t share your surname.”
