Chapter 2024: Chapter 2023: Shaking Mountain·Suppressing Mountain

Watching the generals leave.

Ouyang Tianshu did not stay at the garrison but quietly left, heading to the main camp behind the First Line Pass.

First Line Pass itself has limited capacity, with a maximum of five thousand soldiers, so most of the reinforcements have to camp to the north of First Line Pass, ready to be summoned as soon as battles commence.

The entire camp is irregularly distributed, with the largest camp consisting of reinforcements dispatched from Ancestor Dragon City. These reinforcements have average combat capabilities but are fully under the command of the First Line Pass commander. Another part consists of the private forces of various families.

Just like the Tang Family’s Ming Guang Camp and the Yang Family’s Shaking Mountain Camp, as well as other family camps, they all set up separately, independent from the main camp.

The Ming Guang Camp and the Shaking Mountain Camp are distinctly separate, located at the east and west, respectively, with other family camps surrounding them.

Ouyang Tianshu arrived at the central main camp but didn’t disturb the generals there, instead quietly heading to a tent.

"Father."

Ouyang Qiuhan heard the disturbance, looked up to see Ouyang Tianshu entering, and quickly stood up.

Sikong Yu also looked up and stood: "Greetings, Uncle."

"Hmm, no need to be formal, have you adapted these past few days?"

Sikong Yu replied: "Thank you, Uncle, for giving us the opportunity to lead a camp and showcase what we have learned."

"This girl of yours can make a name for herself even at Nine Layers Mountain; calling you a heroine is not too much. I can only give you these thousand people, which might seem ordinary, but the letter to your Sikong family should have already reached Ancestor Dragon City. I expect your family to send elites soon."

"The Vermilion Bird Guard your Sikong family rebuilt may not be as strong as it once was, but it’s not weak either, fitting for your command."

"Hmm."

Sikong Yu nodded: "Uncle, you didn’t come just to tell us this, did you?"

Ouyang Tianshu glanced at the perceptive Sikong Yu.

"The day before yesterday, Bi Fang came once more."

"Bi Fang came again, what message did she bring? And why didn’t she come to find us?" Before Sikong Yu could speak, Ouyang Qiuhan immediately fired off three questions.

"Bi Fang only conveyed one message: the one attacking the city in these three days is Li Feng."

Ouyang Tianshu looked at his outspoken daughter and slowly revealed.

"What?"

Ouyang Qiuhan’s almond-shaped eyes widened: "The one attacking the city is that bastard Li Feng; he really betrayed us, how can he do this? I heard that today, defending the pass led to heavy losses, with at least thousands dead."

"What is he trying to do?"

Ouyang Qiuhan nearly jumped in shock, evidently shaken by the news.

Sikong Yu remained relatively calm, raising her eyes to look at Ouyang Tianshu: "Did Bi Fang mention any cause? And if he’s the main general attacking over the past few days, wouldn’t that mean he’s already established himself in the demon clan’s camp opposite?"

Ouyang Tianshu observed Sikong Yu, who could still think calmly, while his own daughter showed less composure: "Yes, he’s somewhat established there, but he’s still regarded with suspicion, so he’s being pushed to lead the attack."

"What surprises me is how this kid managed to gather tens of thousands of demon tribes within just over ten days, and even incited them to fiercely attack the pass."

"Just in the past two days, the losses of my garrison troops have exceeded the casualties of the previous half month; if this kid hadn’t given us a prior warning, I would have doubted his sincere allegiance to the demon clan."

Ouyang Tianshu said.

Sikong Yu was aware that Ouyang Tianshu’s words showed suspicion of Li Feng’s stance, considering it unbelievable how Li Feng could deceive the three marshals of the demon clan and establish himself there. This was quite difficult to comprehend.

Moreover, the experiences Li Feng had in Ancestor Dragon City were such that he was consistently suppressed and ostracized; if it were to lead to resentment toward the city’s families, it wouldn’t be surprising.

As for racial loyalty, when faced with interests and survival, betrayal isn’t impossible, otherwise, the Ten Demon Hall wouldn’t exist.

"Uncle, he’s not going to betray the demon clan, I can assure you of that."

Sikong Yu finished speaking, looking at Ouyang Tianshu.

"Uncle, I want to go to First Line Pass tomorrow to observe the battle, and if the opportunity arises, I’d like to meet him." Sikong Yu bit her lip and said.

Ouyang Tianshu glanced at Sikong Yu: "I trust you, if you wish to observe the battle from the front, it’s your choice, but I hope you won’t act impulsively."

"I understand, Uncle."

"Father, I want to go too."

Ouyang Tianshu glared at Ouyang Qiuhan: "Stay by Sikong girl’s side and don’t cause trouble."

Ouyang Tianshu got up and left. After escorting him out, Ouyang Qiuhan returned to the tent and said to Sikong Yu: "That Li Feng, surely he’s not actually betraying us, right?"

"Don’t talk nonsense, and outside, don’t mention his name; if it spreads, even if he doesn’t want to join the demon clan, he’ll have no choice."

Sikong Yu glared at Ouyang Qiuhan, who pouted: "Of course I know, I’m only saying it in this tent."

"I’m just worried; after all, that guy is a bit unruly, and before he sent us back, the more I think about it, the more he seems to have ulterior motives."

"Alright, speculating now won’t help us; perhaps he’s forced into this as well. After all, he’s in the demon clan’s camp, trying to establish a position is not simple."

That night.

Sikong Yu had trouble sleeping.

As dawn broke once more, smoke curled upwards, and the melodious sound of the Cow Horn Horn echoed in the sky, marking the start of another day of siege.

Li Feng still presided over the central army; the demon warriors beside him seemed not to have decreased, even though in the past two days over forty thousand had died. Yet that night, more demon tribes came to fill the empty camps.

As things continue, not to mention three days, even if they fight for three, Li Feng can endure as long as the three marshals don’t openly order against it, new demon tribes will keep joining.

Before the first formation of demon soldiers charged, the gates of First Line Pass opened wide, and a garrison emerged, arranging themselves directly in front of the pass.

The Cow Horn Horn sounded the attack signal; the leading formation of demon warriors began their charge, while Li Feng’s gaze crossed these charging demons to observe the garrison lined up outside the pass.

This garrison was clearly different again.

This garrison was entirely encased in heavy armor, with only their eyes exposed, the thick armor indicating they were heavy infantry.

Heavy Infantry.

Li Feng squinted his eyes, wondering if the thick armor could withstand the rugged charge of the demon tribes, or maybe the armor was not ordinary but Spirit Armor engraved with arrays.

If so, it would be more intriguing.

The Shaking Mountain Camp’s commander Yang Dian licked his lips, watching as the demon warriors grew closer, close enough to see the faces of the demon soldiers, a trace of excitement appearing on Yang Dian’s face.

"Shaking Mountain·Suppressing Mountain."

With Yang Dian’s call, two thousand warriors from the Shaking Mountain Camp let out a unified low growl: "Ha."

Then they activated their Shaking Mountain Armor, a fierce aura gathering into a mountain, instantly forming a mountain barrier, symbolizing the Shaking Mountain Camp’s legion technique.

"It’s Ancestor Dragon City’s veteran elite, the Shaking Mountain Camp."

On the Wolf Clan camp’s observation hillock, Yue Li squinted at the distant garrison advancing from First Line Pass; as the demon warriors charged, getting closer, this Shaking Mountain Camp garrison seemed to trigger a chain reaction, an aura like a mountain emerging.

Even from thirty or forty miles away, one could see the mountain manifesting over the Shaking Mountain Camp.
