Chapter 118 – Yao Kaka and Man’gan Are Fully Prepared
Shisan’s prediction was right, in the mingled battlefield, there was something urgent around the corner.
After three days, the legion of the Mars Prefecture had finally caught up to the demons and barbarians led by Yao Kaka and Man’gan respectively. Thanks to the blanket search done by the scouts of the Hua Family, they had, in advance, learned of their escape route. They planned to set up a hunting net long before the enemies could realize their arrival. In their initial round of fighting this morning with a small barbarian team, the causalities on the enemy side had reached more than three hundred, while the human side had only lost a dozen or so.
Looking at the mess of the battlefield, Sainan frowned concernedly. Seemingly, this first fight was an absolute victory, but she knew in fact this was far from a perfect triumph. For one thing, they had evidently outnumbered the barbarians, with several thousand versus some hundred; for the other, they had predicted their whereabouts beforehand, it was an ambush, not a face-to-face attack. Given all their advantages, they had still lost the lives of more than ten young elites. Most importantly, what made Sainan so upset was, that apart from the members from the four families, the other teams had showed little respect for her by ignoring her orders. The moment they had encountered the barbarians, they had just confronted them in mass numbers, and disorganized formations, enabling one of the Barbarian Emperors to manage to escape out of the sheer chaos.
Actually, having one Barbarian Emperor escape wasn’t a huge matter. Yet, this run-away barbarian would most likely leak the information of the human legion’s arrival. By then, it would be much more difficult for Sainan’s team to cut off their route.
“Sister Sainan! Don’t push yourself too hard. After all, this is a temporary-formed legion; you can’t expect everyone to be obedient. I think their performance is excellent already!” Standing beside Sainan, Qingcheng consoled Sainan with a mellow voice.
“Yeah… you’re right!” With unlocked eyebrows, she turned to Qingcheng and asked, “Where’s Hua Cao and Hua Xin? Have they returned?”
“Look, they’re coming!” Qingcheng pointed her slender index finger to the near distance, and exclaimed with a big smile.
- Swoosh! -
Two black figures appeared in the near distance; they were Hua Cao and Hua Xin, who had been deployed by Sainan on a special mission to chase the run-away barbarian, in case he reported the latest information to their leader Man’gan.
Since the major team, led by Yao Kaka and Man’gan, was only several kilometers ahead of them, Hua Cao and Hua Xin had to be extremely cautious, until they cut off the route of the fleeing barbarian and slaughter him.
“Have you guys caught him?” Sainan couldn’t help inquiring, when they were still several steps away from her.
“He’s dead already! But…” With a surly face, Hua Cao came to a halt, before continuing his sentence, “I cannot tell if it’s the signal sent by this barbarian, or that Yao Kaka had already discovered our arrival, but their team has stopped marching forward! What shall we do now, Miss Sainan?”
