Chapter 1874: Chapter 1877: Boiling the Frog in Warm Water

The torrent formed by the combination of the hundred thousand Iron Cavalry and Jiuyao’s troops surged towards Qi Bei’s forces.

Logically, even if those in charge were confused, with so many people blending in, at least a few should have noticed.

After all, this wasn’t just a group of three or five people.

However, this was Jiuyao’s troop, not Qi Bei’s.

The core members of this group were bandits, becoming soldiers only in times of war, and they loved to swarm in.

So, it wasn’t that no one noticed; no one cared.

The more, the merrier!

...

While Jiuyao’s troops were carefree, Qi Bei’s forces were much more cautious.

However, is caution always a good habit?!

Not necessarily!

As the subordinates of a leader who could remain indifferent when slapped and robbed, these individuals were cautious to an appalling degree.

Thus, when the vanguard troops, selected as subsequent assault candidates, returned with reports, differing opinions emerged within the ranks!

Not the sound of arguing, but of discussing!

They had to be cautious; they couldn’t make mistakes!

However, the price of being cautious was that orders couldn’t be given instantly.

Thus, their delay in issuing commands prevented the frontline warriors from acting in unison.

Seeing those surging vanguard troops, someone reflexively opened a gap.

This gap wasn’t large, intended merely to allow the vanguards to enter.

However, this small gap instantly became an ant nest on the dam!

As the vanguard entered and tore through, the merchant forces instinctively followed.

Even though Jiuyao’s forces hesitated upon realizing the group was Qi Bei’s, they still instinctively charged forward.

Because they saw their targets being protected by Qi Bei’s men?!

Outrageous!

As predominantly fierce bandits, they have always looked down on Qi Bei’s power.

After all, their leader had directly seized half of the mines from Qi Bei.

They didn’t care about Qi Bei’s true interests!

They only knew their leader was impressive, and Qi Bei was a coward!

And now, these cowards dared to provoke them?!

No need to talk, kill!

Thus, even before Qi Bei’s forces could decide on orders, the battle had already erupted completely!

”Boom!”

As Jiuyao’s forces forcibly breached that gap in the formation, the entire battlefield descended into chaos!

The sound of killing shook the heavens!

As they fought, Jiuyao’s troops suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of smoothness.

Yes, just a smooth feeling!

They had fought against Qi Bei’s forces before, but every time faced with these sticky forces, it always felt like sinking into a quagmire.

But this time, there was none of that.

The killing felt comfortable and smooth!

At every crucial moment in their fight with the enemy, they inexplicably received assistance from nearby comrades, easily defeating their foes!

This feeling was so comfortable!

They didn’t even want to stop, this feeling was too exhilarating!

So, they really didn’t stop!

They killed relentlessly!

Qi Bei’s forces were defeated time and again!

They even fought their way to the city closest to Qi Bei’s mines.

This left Jiuyao’s forces in a daze!

What the hell! How did they muddle their way here?!

Suddenly!

They heard someone shout: ”Damn it, we’ve come this far, are we going back empty-handed?! I don’t think so! I’m rushing in, kill everything, take everything, burn everything!”

This shout ignited a bloodlust in the already fervent Jiuyao army!

Damn it! Yes! We’re bandits! We’ve come all this way, returning with nothing would be unprofessional!

Immediately, without needing orders, the bandit army launched a grand assault on the city!

Then, an even stranger feeling overwhelmed them!

Yes, still that smoothness, so smooth it almost made them shout out!

It was unbelievably enjoyable!

It’s well known that siege warfare is extremely difficult, some even say it requires ten times the force!

Yet, this time, it was unbelievably smooth!

They didn’t know where this feeling came from, as there wasn’t any obvious help, just small details.

For instance, when their True Qi was depleted, a brother beside them would toss over an Elixir.

When injured, someone nearby would lend a hand.

If unable to fend off an attack and feeling certain of death, someone would stand and fight shoulder-to-shoulder with them!

It was these little things that always appeared when most needed, culminating in that unparalleled smoothness!

And so!

As they reveled in this comfortable smoothness, they suddenly realized the city had been breached!

Oh my god!

When did it happen?!

How was the city breached just like that?!

Suddenly, someone said something unclear, maybe about continuing forward!

So, led by that sense of smoothness, they continued their advance!

Pursuit, assault, pursuit, assault, pursuit, assault!

This cycle continued repeatedly, even those bandits who fell under attack still bore expressions of bliss, appearing strangely eerie, even somewhat terrifying!

This feeling among the bandit army was naturally the masterpiece of the hundred thousand Iron Cavalry.

They didn’t fight desperately, they didn’t engage in battle, merely providing the most potent support when these bandits needed it most.

With their years of business acumen, they were now the most outstanding logistics unit!

Furthermore, crucially, they weren’t your generic logistics unit but provided personalized, individual support, inevitably giving these bandits unparalleled comfort.

Of course, merely having this wouldn’t push the bandits to such a near-crazed level; aside from their actions, one individual was amplifying this emotion throughout.

That person was Elder Yu, the one with the ’General’s Superpower’!

After repeated trials, especially the failure at Gourd Island leading Dragon Group warriors, Elder Yu no longer simply unleashed killing intent with his power; his application reached new heights.

The current strategy of slowly boiling the frog was one such example, and it seemed the effects were quite decent.

They unexpectedly allowed this bandit army to capture territory without even realizing it!

And at this moment, Elder Yu also received the command from Xin Lifeng: ”All units, hear the command, mission accomplished, withdraw!”
