Chapter 2002: Chapter 2001: Then I’ll Grant Your Wish

Wolf Commander’s tent.

Yue Li lifted the tent flap and walked inside, unexpectedly finding someone else in the tent, making Yue Li pause slightly.

"Wolf Commander, please kindly prepare a place for me to stay."

Ye Xiu nodded, calling out to the trusted aide outside: "Arrange a tent nearby for our esteemed guest, don’t neglect it."

"Yes."

The woman wrapped in a cloak hiding her body and face turned gracefully to leave, and as she lifted her gaze at the tent entrance, Yue Li saw the captivating face beneath the cloak.

The two quickly passed by each other, and though the person had left, a lingering fragrance remained. Yue Li shook his head, regaining his composure, and stepped into the large tent.

"Wolf Commander, was that woman just now a fox maiden?"

Ye Xiu nodded and said: "Yes, she is indeed a Qingqiu fox maiden."

"What is she here for?"

"As a secret emissary, the Fox Clan devised the entire plan to annihilate Ancestor Dragon. Now, various forces within the Demon Alliance have agreed, and our Dragon Emperor has approved it. Although the Fox Clan doesn’t directly control us, they act like a think tank, advising and formulating our advance strategy."

Ye Xiu spoke to Yue Li openly and without reservation.

"Even so, they should send someone to Lion Commander Wanyan Xiu’s side. Why send someone to my camp specifically?"

"Ha, there is someone on Lion Commander’s side too. It’s not just him; I have one, the Bull Commander has one. If more Demon Generals arrive, I fear they will have arrangements as well."

"According to the Fox Clan, it is necessary to formulate a unified strategy to prevent various factions from acting independently and repeating past mistakes. Last time, we failed because Ancestor Dragon City capitalized on our disunity, leading to our defeat."

"Therefore, learning from previous mistakes, the Fox Clan acts as the Chief Military Advisor, coordinating all forces and devising a meticulous plan."

"Oh, the plan, what kind of plan?"

Wolf Commander Ye Xiu shook his head: "I asked, but they didn’t say. They only mentioned that when it is time for us to know, they will inform us."

Yue Li furrowed his brow slightly: "Not saying anything makes us very passive. If she asks us to die, must we comply?"

Ye Xiu chuckled: "That depends if she dares to ask for such a thing."

"For now, the Dragon Emperor has called for the camp, so we can only comply."

Of course, whether to execute the orders is another matter, which Ye Xiu didn’t express aloud. He glanced at Yue Li, changing the topic: "Weren’t you sent to escort that young man from the Fire Phoenix Clan? How did it go?"

Yue Li replied: "Merely a ragtag group. I led ten thousand riders in a charge, and instantly their military formation crumbled, the frontline collapsed, completely unable to resist."

"As expected, if those motley forces could unleash surprising combat power, I’d be suspicious of something being wrong."

"However."

Yue Li changed his tone.

Oh.

Ye Xiu looked at Yue Li, who said: "This Phoenix Flame of Fire Phoenix Clan is not weak at all, at least at the Demon King level, and a top-tier one."

"If it were a single combat, I might not be his match."

Ye Xiu was not surprised: "If he didn’t possess this power, he wouldn’t venture out and embarrass himself. Top-level Demon King strength is indeed formidable."

"Oh, yes, my charge seemed to throw their military morale into disarray, and many directly deserted."

"It seems their army of tens of thousands may shrink considerably."

Ye Xiu coldly smirked: "That was expected. If he believed the Fire Phoenix Clan’s influence was that compelling, he would be sorely mistaken. Those demon clans joining them are simply swayed by rumors, thinking they might benefit from bloodline refining."

"Most likely they are just following the trend. Now, let them awaken and see reason, and they will make the right choice naturally."

Yue Li nodded: "I am slightly worried that if everyone around him leaves, he becomes an isolated commander, he might lose heart, and controlling him would be difficult."

"Ha, don’t worry, not everyone will leave."

"If everyone leaves, it means we overestimated him. Though their numbers have diminished, their supplies, I hear, are dwindling."

"Let him suffer for a few days, then we can negotiate terms. Like Gu Feng, ascending directly to Demon King strength might prove difficult, but if he can increase some Demon General’s strength, it enhances our clan’s power."

Ye Xiu said.

Yue Li nodded: "Yes, I believe once he realizes reality, he will choose to cooperate with us."

Ye Xiu’s plan was to control their supplies, forcing them to trade bloodline refining technique for supplies.

If they are wise, it achieves the goal; if not, there are ways to deal with them.

In the dark night.

The troops led by Li Feng arrived at the encampment site, though it was merely wilderness, lacking a ready encampment.

Li Feng ordered a temporary camp, struggling for half the night before settling in. If the garrison at First Line Pass dared a night raid, Li Feng’s position might collapse instantly.

A peaceful night.

The next day.

Li Feng ordered the construction of the camp.

"Camp Master, our supplies will last past noon, but we’ll be out of food by tonight."

Lan reported.

"Hmm, send someone to the left camp to inquire where to claim supplies." Li Feng replied.

"Yes."

Lan nodded, preparing to leave, when Shi Xing hurriedly arrived: "Master, Commander Lan, a supply crew has arrived outside, saying they’re delivering supplies to us, but they request you personally receive them."

"Oh?"

"Let’s check it out."

Li Feng said, moving to the camp’s edge, where dozens of ox carts stood, led by a robust Bull Clan War General.

"You’re the one from the Fire Bird Clan or something Yang?"

The Bull Clan War General arrogantly glanced at Li Feng.

"Fire Phoenix Clan’s Feng Yang. You’re here to deliver supplies?"

The Bull Clan War General mocked: "Our Bull Commander heard you were out of food and sent supplies, but they’re not free."

"Oh, so you’re here for business."

"Exactly. I heard you know the bloodline refining technique that awakens bloodline talent. Our Bull Commander thinks it’s worthwhile. He said one cart of grain for one awakening. Successful awakening earns you a cart."

Li Feng replied indifferently.

The Bull Clan War General looked displeased: "What do you mean by just saying ’Oh’? Are you questioning our Bull Commander?"

"Ha, one cart per awakening, seems fine."

Li Feng said, toe tapping to float in the air, scattering Fire Seeds, which parasitized the bull soldiers guarding the supplies. Next moment, the soldiers couldn’t endure the Phoenix Flame’s invasion, screaming in agony.

"What have you done to them?"

The Bull Clan War General gripped his Combat Axe, pointing it at Li Feng.
