Zhan Fei’s thoughts were flying at a rapid speed. He would give up on the plan to sow discord between the two armies if he agreed to Ji Fengyan’s request. But…

Zhan Fei’s eyes narrowed slightly as a flash of devious amusement flashed in his pupils.

Military pledge… Ji Fengyan was digging her own grave.

With that, Zhan Fei put on a helpless expression and sighed. “Since General Ji is so stubborn, I have nothing more to say. Just that a military pledge is not some frivolous instrument. If General Ji cannot fulfill the task, then… her life would really be forfeited.”

“And what if I accomplish the task?” Ji Fengyan asked.

Zhan Fei swallowed a cold chuckle as he maintained a casual expression. “Then it would be a major contribution towards regaining the Plain of Corpses.”

“All right.” Ji Fengyan nodded. She then tore off her sleeve and bit her finger. Right in front of everyone, she wrote down the military pledge with her blood.

“In half a month’s time, my Wolf Smoke Regiment will flush out the locations of the demon nests. I guarantee it with this military pledge!” Ji Fengyan threw the freshly written pledge at Zhan Fei.

Zhan Fei hurriedly reached forward to catch it. Looking at the military pledge, he couldn’t help smiling.

This is your own death wish, not by the machinations of anyone else.

“Then I wish General Ji all the best.” Zhan Fei carefully kept the military pledge and cupped one of his fists on the other hand towards Ji Fengyan before taking his leave.

Ji Fengyan’s efficient manner left the Blaze Army troops in a daze for some time. They even doubted their earlier perception of her. Ji Fengyan… didn’t seem to know what was going on.

Just as the Blaze Army was mired in uncertainty, Ji Fengyan suddenly turned around to look at them.

“Where was it that you were ambushed?”

The soldier—startled by the question—answered, “Just at the little village on the east side.”

Ji Fengyan nodded and turned to walk towards Lu Shaoqing and the rest.

That soldier suddenly recovered his senses and hurriedly shouted, “General Ji!”

Ji Fengyan paused.

“There are still some Blaze Army men trapped there. Could General…” The Blaze Army soldier struggled to continue his sentence. Without explicit permission from the General, they were unable to request for a rescue mission for their own men.

Ji Fengyan didn’t turn back but just waved.

“I will try my best.”

Those casual words were imprinted deeply in the hearts of those Blaze Army soldiers. They held a complex expression as they watched Ji Fengyan’s departing back profile. A glimmer of guilt surfaced in their eyes.

On the other side, Lu Shaoqing looked at the approaching Ji Fengyan with gloom. Despite knowing he should keep his mouth shut, he couldn’t help saying, “General, you are too casual in your actions.”

Putting down a military pledge in public to flush out the locations of the demon nests within half a month—this was a totally impossible task.

It should be pointed out that the demons had occupied the Plain of Corpses for many years. It was the dominion of the demons and with their cunning—they would have already made the best of the most optimal geographical locations. It would be a mountainous task to seek out their nests!

Otherwise, the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon would not have delayed for so many years before resuming their campaign against the demons on the Plain of Corpses.

Seeing the troubled Lu Shaoqing, Ji Fengyan said blandly, “Military advisor Lu.”

“At your command.”

“If I had not done what I did just now, how do you think our future will be like?” Ji Fengyan asked.

Lu Shaoqing gave a start before lowering his eyes.
