If Ji Fengyan had not taken over the duty from the Blaze Army… there would be no way either she or the Wolf Smoke Regiment could hold their heads up high again in the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon military. Moreover, the Wolf Smoke Regiment would suffer the consequences of going into future battles with the demons without support.
Ji Fengyan’s actions were meant to clear the Wolf Smoke Regiment’s reputation of being cowardly boot-lickers and to ensure the regiment’s future survival on the battlefield.
After all, they were made up of over 10,000 rookie soldiers. Who knows how long they would last when faced with the demons’ ferocious attack. They were already at loggerheads with the Green Nightmare Army—if the Blaze Army was also unwilling to help them, then… it would truly be a case of having enemies both front and back.
Lu Shaoqing had nothing to add. He knew Ji Fengyan had made the correct decision and was doing the right thing.
But…
This was just too risky.
If they could not flush out the locations of the demon nests within the stipulated time—Ji Fengyan’s life would be…
The youthful soldiers of the Wolf Smoke Regiment were still unaware that their General had lain down her life to allow them a fighting chance at survival.
“Military advisor Lu, things are not as bad as you think. Perhaps we could find the locations very quickly?” Ji Fengyan held a teasing grin as she looked at Lu Shaoqing’s grim face.
Lu Shaoqing remained unsmiling. “I hope so.”
“Have everyone quickly prep up. Choose a hundred soldiers to follow me on this rescue mission.” Ji Fengyan turned serious again.
Lu Shaoqing nodded and immediately went to prepare.
Ji Fengyan took advantage of this time to sneak back to her tent and hurriedly dragged Liu Huo to bed.
Liu Huo was perplexed by Ji Fengyan’s sudden “passion”. Before he could understand what was happening, she said, “Liu Huo, I have something to discuss with the demon god. Help me keep a lookout and call me when you see Lu Shaoqing approaching.”
Liu Huo gave a start and was about to say something—but Ji Fengyan had already dropped on the bed unconscious.
It may be a difficult task for others to locate the demon nests, but… not necessarily so for Ji Fengyan!
After all, she hosted a powerful demon god in her body!
Ji Fengyan quickly entered the deepest recesses of her soul. Under the guiding light of her inner core, she saw that demon god sitting upon her core.
With its tail curled around the inner core, the demon god’s slanted eyes narrowed as it sensed Ji Fengyan’s approach. It slowly lifted its gaze and looked at her.
“Have you decided yet?” The demon god stared at Ji Fengyan.
Ji Fengyan had not seen the demon god since the previous incident.
She looked at the huge beast sitting upon her inner core. Taking a deep breath, Ji Fengyan said, “No problem, I can help you find your bones.”
She had discussed this issue with Liu Huo this morning and agreed on their course of action. But now… she needed to tweak the details a little.
“Oh? A wise decision.” The demon god was clearly pleased with Ji Fengyan’s answer.
“But, since I am helping you to find your bones—shouldn’t you also do me a favor in return?” Ji Fengyan narrowed her eyes.
“What kind of favor do you want?” The demon god asked.
Ji Fengyan gave a faint smile. “Don’t worry, the favor I am asking is very simple… for someone like you…”
