Night fell at last!
It was not until the third period of the night that the 200,000 troops personally led by Yuan Tiangang finally reached the garrison at Black Water Plain.
Upon learning that that "crazy girl" Yan Chuchu had recklessly gone to the Sky Peak Camp, Yuan Tiangang naturally was utterly anxious, hastily gathering his soldiers and heading to Black Water Plain.
With the Demon Clan having already retreated, Yuan Tiangang’s reinforcents ended up being of no use.
There were no reinforcents during the bloody battle at Sky Peak Camp, and now finally the battle was over, and they just arrived. The soldiers of Sky Peak Camp were evidently not appreciative and had quite a few complaints about Yuan Tiangang’s delayed deploynt.
In fact, Yuan Tiangang initially just wanted to delay the reinforcents slightly, but the other battlefields were repeatedly defeated, making Black Water Plain seem insignificant in comparison.
Therefore, later on, it wasn’t that Yuan Tiangang didn’t want to send troops, but rather that the other battlefields were severely strained, and he simply couldn’t dispatch any forces.
He initially thought Sky Peak Camp would be completely annihilated this ti, but surprisingly, though severely damaged, they still held Black Water Plain!
This brand new army had withstood an incredibly harsh trial, sothing Yuan Tiangang did not foresee.
What kind of commander could sustain such a ferocious war for five days and nights with vastly unequal forces?
This point left Yuan Tiangang deep in thought.
Inside the commander tent.
Yuan Tiangang waited for a whole hour before Ling Feng, the chief commander of Sky Peak Camp, along with the two deputy generals, Lee Bufan and Jiang Xiaofan, and Prince Jing (Moo Feng) finally arrived unhurriedly.
Despite being the Three Armies Grand Commander, Yuan Tiangang was left waiting in the main tent for an hour by Ling Feng and the others. Even though he felt so anger, he had to suppress it.
"Prince Jing! General Ling!"
Seeing the group enter the tent, Yuan Tiangang hurriedly went to greet them. Although he was a veritable local tyrant at Tianmang Fortress, there was still a distinction between sovereign and subject, and Moo Feng was, after all, a prince of the Royal Family, while he was rely a house servant of the Mo family.
Moo Feng shot Yuan Tiangang a cold glance and ignored him.
Yuan Tiangang’s face stiffened slightly; his previous failure to send reinforcents had evidently fully offended this Prince Jing.
"Grand Commander, sorry to keep you waiting!"
Ling Feng clasped his hands and said blandly, "Many of the brothers under have been heavily injured, and Commander Huo Yuanyi has been poisoned by Demons. So, I was busy treating the brothers and got delayed."
"No worries, no worries."
Yuan Tiangang forced a smile, saying slowly, "General Ling, your Sky Peak Camp successfully defended Black Water Plain this ti, a great achievent. Upon returning, I will ensure you are rewarded accordingly."
"Tch!"
Ling Feng inwardly felt disdain; his contributions were far more substantial. If he hadn’t risked his life sneaking into the Dark Dragon Palace to expose the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor, would the Demon Clan have withdrawn completely now?
However, Ling Feng had no interest in the so-called rewards. After this battle, Moo Feng should establish his own prestige, and it was ti for him to withdraw from Tianmang Fortress.
His journey did not lie in military service but in the extre path of Martial Arts, the pinnacle of Martial Arts!
"Rewards should be granted for ritorious service, Yuan Tiangang. I hope you could bury the fallen brothers generously and assuage their families. Every one of these fallen brothers was a good man!"
Moo Feng glared at Yuan Tiangang and walked forward to the main seat. A hint of imperial majesty began to awaken from him.
From this mont on, he was no longer the Ninth Prince who thought of escape, but the transford Prince Jing!
"I, your servant, shall comply with Prince Jing’s command!"
Yuan Tiangang took a deep look at Moo Feng. This young prince had finally grown.
Now he was qualified to gain Yuan Tiangang’s acknowledgnt and support.
Though Yuan Tiangang held military power and self-importance, he had no rebellious intent against the Mo Royal Family. Since Moo Feng was no longer the timid and cowardly young prince, he was worth supporting and following.
Perhaps, this was precisely what His Majesty the Sky White Emperor intended.
Yuan Tiangang squinted. The Sky White Monarch sent Prince Jing to the Southern Army, largely to temper this young prince. Now, his growth seed quite rapid!
Subsequently, Yuan Tiangang allocated 100,000 troops to remain at Black Water Plain, partly to expand Sky Peak Camp and partly to guard against any return attack from the Demon Clan coalition, then left the camp overnight.
After all, as the Grand Commander of Tianmang Fortress, he couldn’t stay away from the fortress for too long, especially at such a critical ti.
"Hmph, old fox!"
After Yuan Tiangang left, Moo Feng finally cursed, filled with indignation.
"Alright, that old fellow likely won’t give you the cold shoulder anymore; now you truly are Prince Jing."
Ling Feng patted Moo Feng on the shoulder. Judging from Yuan Tiangang’s attitude, he had begun to submit to Moo Feng. This was a ti for Moo Feng to rally him, not quibble over past issues.
On this matter, Moo Feng surely understood, so despite his anger, he still spared Yuan Tiangang so face earlier.
"This is all thanks to you, Brother Feen!"
Moo Feng looked gratefully at Ling Feng, considering him a guiding light.
"No, your own changes were also crucial."
Ling Feng smiled slightly. During his absence, he learned about everything that happened, including Moo Feng daring to personally go to the front line. This guy had finally shown so responsibility and courage.
This also relieved Ling Feng, knowing that even after his departure, Moo Feng could now handle things on his own.
...
On the other side.
Yuan Tiangang rode a Demon Horse, leading 100,000 troops back to Tianmang Fortress.
On the way, thoughts raced through Yuan Tiangang’s mind; he never imagined that one Ling Feng could have such a profound impact on Prince Jing.
However, ultimately, he was getting old, and it might just be ti to relinquish so power.
At this ti, a clamor rose from behind him. Sun Boce, the think tank, pursued rapidly on an Earth Dragon Demon Beast, strapped to its back lay a girl bound hand and foot.
This girl was, of course, Yan Chuchu.
"Mmph mmph..."
Yan Chuchu’s mouth was gagged with cloth as she struggled incessantly.
"Grand Commander, Miss Chu Chu is captured for you."
Sun Boce shook his head with a wry smile. This girl was exceedingly slippery and kept cursing, leaving him with no choice but to take drastic asures to save his reputation.
"Keep her tied! You crazy girl!"
Yuan Tiangang, seeing Yan Chuchu so full of energy, felt sowhat relieved, but still glared at her. The girl hunched her neck, calming down slightly.
"Do you realize how dangerous the battlefield is! You’re tied up for three days this ti; learn your lesson!"
With that, Yuan Tiangang could no longer be bothered with the girl, urging his horse back to Tianmang Fortress swiftly.
