Chapter 565: A Bizarre Ambush (1)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The next morning, the messy campgrounds had been almost tidied up with most of the demon bodies placed in a pile for Ji Fengyan to deal with.

Nevertheless, after enduring yesterday’s torment by the demon god, just looking at those corpses made Ji Fengyan’s head ache. After a brief inspection, she had Linghe and the rest burn the bodies.

Although yesterday’s surprise demon attack didn’t result in many fatalities, it caused quite a bit of damage to the campgrounds. Lu Shaoqing led a group of veteran soldiers working all night to clean up the debris. Nonetheless, a major portion of the barracks were still too wrecked to be used. Numerous people had slept under the stars last night – waking up early in the morning to start work again.

Following the thick smoke, Lu Shaoqing saw Ji Fengyan standing by the blaze with a solemn expression. Yesterday’s demon ambush had far exceeded his expectations. He had expected a repeat of the carnage from the attack six months ago—but the fatalities this time round were well under twenty men. Compared to the devastation half a year ago—this could be considered a total victory.

“General Ji.” Lu Shaoqing walked to Ji Fengyan’s side, his gaze holding a glimmer of admiration.

If he had not witnessed the earlier battle with his own eyes, who would have believed this petite young girl before him was so powerful.

“Huh?” Ji Fengyan turned slightly, her delicate little face obviously pale. The shattering of her inner core had Ji Fengyan nearly vomiting blood. Fortunately, she still managed to retain half of her vital energy.

Having lost everything overnight, Ji Fengyan was utterly depressed.

“General Ji doesn’t look too well. Would you like to go back and rest? Let me handle these things for now.” Lu Shaoqing offered in all sincerity. Ji Fengyan’s face was indeed rather pallid. It appeared that yesterday’s battle had taken its toll on her.

Quite a few people witnessed Ji Fengyan’s frailty. Both new and veteran soldiers felt guilty. Didn’t General Ji give her all just to protect them?

Little did they know…

It was all the demon god’s evil doing.

“No need, military advisor Lu. But I do have something to ask you,” said Ji Fengyan.

“Please.”

“I heard from a few veteran soldiers said that this demon attack was like the one that happened six months ago. What happened then?” Ji Fengyan had inspected the entire camp earlier and found no traces of an attack. Those demons seemed to have just materialized on the campgrounds.

Lu Shaoqing gave the entire spiel to Ji Fengyan.

Like yesterday, those demons had appeared out of the blue. The patrolling troops had detected nothing strange at all before the demons were already invading the campgrounds. There were over fifty thousand soldiers in the army camp that time – and half were lost in just one night. Lu Shaoqing and the previous General had fought tooth and nail to escape with over twenty thousand injured soldiers. They had retreated to the nearby forest to hide from the demons’ attack.

After that, some nearby troops had arrived after noticing their signal flare for reinforcements. However, by the time they had regrouped with the reinforcements and headed back to Moonset Valley – there were no traces of the demons left. It was as if those demons had disappeared into thin air.

“It was an embarrassment. We suffered terrible losses at that battle. In the end, we had to escape in a flurry and did not manage to get any useful clues.” Lu Shaoqing sighed.
