“Lord Zhan! General Ji is a Terminator! Losing a Terminator before the battle even begins is also not ideal!” Lu Shaoqing glared stiffly at Zhan Fei.

Zhan Fei remained indifferent.

Both sides stood unbudging. Quite a number of soldiers had also come over, including those from the Wolf Smoke Regiment. Hearing of Ji Fengyan’s situation and seeing a lack of action from Zhan Fei, they immediately went to spread the news. After a short while, tens of thousands of people had gathered outside the main gates of the camp!

“What are you all doing?” Zhan Fei stared harshly at the Wolf Smoke Regiment soldiers.

“If Lord Zhan is unwilling to send reinforcements to save our General, then we will go on our own!” One of the Wolf Smoke Regiment soldiers said righteously.

“What impudence!” Zhan Fei shouted. “You are all soldiers and not allowed to act on your own free will without orders from your superiors. Your general is not around so none of you are to leave the army camp! Doing so will be going against military command!”

Zhan Fei made use of the military chain of command to suppress the crowd before him.

As Ji Fengyan was not around, the only Generals present were Situ Ba, Yang Shun and Zhan Fei.

Situ Ba and Zhan Fei were at loggerheads with Ji Fengyan and would never lend a helping hand. Meanwhile, Yang Shun had been ill since the day he arrived at the army camp and had yet to make an appearance.

Confronted with Zhan Fei, the soldiers of the Wolf Smoke Regiment desperately wished to beat him up.

Zhan Fei looked smugly at the Wolf Smoke Regiment soldiers. Ji Fengyan was in a dire situation—it was unlikely she could escape without major reinforcements.

This was exactly what Zhan Fei wanted.

Nevertheless…

As the multiple parties faced off, a figure slowly walked out from the crowd.

It was an exceptionally handsome young man. His exquisite features were youthful yet held an air of aloofness.

Zhan Fei looked in astonishment at that youth. He vaguely recalled hat he had come over with Ji Fengyan, and his name was something like Liu Huo.

“You all stay here to take care of the injured. I will go find her.” Liu Huo gazed blandly at the frantic Wolf Smoke Regiment soldiers.

“Master Liu Huo…” The soldiers hesitated before nodding. “Go get a horse here now!”

“Are army resources to be used as and when you please? I said before, no one is to leave this army camp without my explicit orders!” Zhan Fei admonished.

Liu Huo threw an imperious glance at Zhan Fei before turning towards the red-faced soldiers. “No need for a horse. Just bring Bai Ze here.”

The soldiers complied and brought out the nearly full-grown Bai Ze.

Bai Ze was now almost as large as a full-sized male deer, but his antlers were only about two-fingers long. Although his antlers were short, they looked rather different from your usual deer antlers. Their color was the same pure white as Bai Ze’s fur, and even looked faintly translucent from certain angles.

Liu Huo patted Bai Ze and glanced up at the stern-faced Zhan Fei. “I am not a soldier of the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon and Bai Ze is not a military horse. We are not obliged to follow your orders.”

Zhan Fei’s face tightened.

Liu Huo ignored Zhan Fei. He mounted Bai Ze and galloped off in a cloud of dust!
