Chapter 1625: Chapter 876: Massive Offensive (Part 2)

So Lin Feng said to the chubby uncle: "Whether you believe me or not, I am willing to contribute my strength and lend you a helping hand."

Upon hearing Lin Feng’s veiled statement, the chubby uncle immediately asked Lin Feng: "Kid, how powerful do you think you are alone? I see you’re not one of the Six Great Sects, hurry away to save your own life."

The chubby uncle waved repeatedly toward Lin Feng as he spoke.

Lin Feng smiled, standing still: "Since I’ve said I want to help you, there must be people involved. Can you share your detailed plan with me, so I can bring people to support?"

Hearing Li Linfeng’s words, the man named Zhou Xiong hurriedly reminded the chubby uncle: "Squad Leader, don’t trust his words. If he’s a spy sent by the Desolate Realm army, our plan will be completely ruined!"

Lin Feng chuckled coldly and remained silent.

In his heart, he spoke to Hua Shengmi: "Unexpectedly, people in the Mortal World are so suspicious. Is it all about deceit among people?"

Hearing Lin Feng’s disheartened words, Hua Shengmi quickly comforted him: "Previously speaking eloquently, why feel disheartened now?"

"Ah, I just feel a bit bleak inside."

Seeing Lin Feng about to leave, the chubby uncle immediately said: "Young hero, stay."

Zhou Xiong wanted to stop him, but the chubby uncle gestured that there’s no need to say more. Zhou Xiong could only step back and stand indignantly behind the chubby uncle.

Lin Feng was about to turn around and leave, but being called by the chubby uncle, he turned back half-way.

Lin Feng looked at the chubby uncle calmly.

The chubby uncle felt a bit guilty towards Lin Feng, so he explained: "Young hero, please don’t mind, Zhou Xiong is indeed straight-talking. He is thinking about the safety of the Six Great Sects; after all, the enemy forces are strong, and without caution, victory would be even less likely."

Lin Feng was not really angry, just considering that since the Six Great Sects didn’t trust him, he had to go back to gather people and act as the situation warranted. Yet unexpectedly, the chubby uncle called him back, much to Lin Feng’s surprise. However, it aligned well with Lin Feng’s intentions.

So Lin Feng said to the chubby uncle: "Since this involves the safety of the Six Great Sects, you don’t have to tell me your entire plan, just inform me when you act, and I’ll signal with a headscarf, then attack from the side."

What Lin Feng said took others into account while obtaining the information he wanted, thus an agreeable compromise.

The chubby uncle was no longer as hesitant as before.

"Our best plan is to wait for the Court’s army to arrive and use it as the main force. We, the Six Great Sects, will watch and wait until the two armies are deeply engaged, then attack from the enemy’s rear, ensuring victory at that time."

But Lin Feng, being the master of Peace City, knew clearly that earlier this morning, the Court not only didn’t send troops for support but instead, the Imperial Censor with the authority to mobilize the army, led over a thousand troops back to the Capital, intending to recall the troops from military camps along the way.

It’s a chaotic time within the Court, how would they send troops to the Six Great Sects?

Even if they dispatched some, it was likely to be a small force, insufficient to deal with the massive army of the Desolate Realm.

However, Lin Feng didn’t point this out, as it would only dampen the morale of the Six Great Sects, inadvertently aiding the enemy and not only putting the Six Great Sects in a dishonorable position but also endangering Peace City’s safety.

The only feasible plan now was for him to return and mobilize the original thousand-plus troops from the city to aid the Six Great Sects, while the Ming Dynasty’s soldiers continued defending Peace City.

If the Six Great Sects were to fail, they could retreat to the city for a final defense using the Heavenly Star Array’s barrier.

"Since that’s the case, I’ll take my leave first. Once prepared, I’ll come to support you."

Lin Feng bid farewell to the chubby uncle and returned to Peace City.

Meanwhile, in the camp, Wu Fa had already assembled his over 1,000 people from the city.

Not only Wu Fa, but Yuan Hong also arrived.

Seeing Lin Feng arrive, Yuan Hong immediately approached and greeted him.

"Senior Yuan is also here."

Li Feng hadn’t expected the skilled cultivator Yuan Hong to be in the camp too, feeling quite gratified.

With Yuan Hong’s current power, boasting eight Spirit Knots equivalent to any Sect Leader within the Six Great Sects, and with the addition of the Six Great Sects, they certainly had the qualification to contend with the invading army from the Desolate Realm.

Though not assured of defeating the opponent, at least they could attain a stalemate.

Seeing Lin Feng greet him, Yuan Hong replied in kind: "Alliance Hierarch Lin, with external enemies invading, we will survive and perish with Peace City."

Lin Feng replied: "Your heroic deeds, Senior, fill Lin Feng with deep admiration."

After this exchange, Lin Feng and the others happily chatted until they heard more troops arriving outside the camp.

Lin Feng hurriedly sent Wu Fa to investigate.

Wu Fa went forward and saw a group of Court soldiers advancing toward their gathering place.

Yet he couldn’t spot anyone familiar.

Wu Tian then instructed the soldiers to interrogate.

The armored soldiers led two groups forward, blocking the troop.

Looking into the distance, the armored soldiers saw the long array of troops.

Relying on years of battle experience, he estimated the size of the opposing forces.

The formation suggested at least seven or eight thousand troops.

Leading was a General on a large horse.

He was a Deputy General stationed a hundred miles ahead at a military camp.

The soldier saw the arrival and questioned.

The newcomer dismounted upon encountering the armored soldier and replied.

This right General was named Chen Lang, the youngest son of the Court’s Left Commissar. With exceptional martial skills, refined with advice from experts.

Chen Lang dismounted, facing the armored soldier.

Chen Lang bowed to the armored soldier respectfully.

The two seemed acquainted, with the armored soldier starting: "General Chen, what brings you to the city today?"

Chen Lang replied succinctly.

"With external threats and chaos in the Court, how could I, a seven-feet-tall man, shrink back?"

Chen Lang’s meaning was clear, understood by anyone astute.

Currently, the Court suffered rebellion, deploying considerable troops to support the Capital, yet in this dire moment.

External foes threatened, daring to invade our precious lands. As a dignified man, I refuse to put Court interests above the Human Realm’s people, unlike those heartless ones engaged in civil war. It’s a national disaster, and selfish acts.

I, Chen Lang, won’t behave cowardly and fearfully.

Chen Lang meant Yu Wentai types, though stationed at the border, neglecting its safety yet returning to the Court.

Unclear what motives drive them.

Undoubtedly for personal gain, disregarding the populace. It’s a deed under no true man’s conduct.

Chen Lang having spoken, made his intentions clear.

He disobeyed the Imperial Censor’s orders to return to the Capital but came to support Peace City. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

The armored soldier, catching Chen Lang’s underlying message, knew the situation.

Yet he acted indifferent at this moment.
