Capítulo 1469: Chapter 1469: Torrential Rain
“Xue San, take a few quick-footed brothers to chase after them, stay safe, if you can’t find anyone, co back.” Ye Shikai ordered.
“Don’t worry, sir, leave it to .” Xue San nodded in agreent, led his team, and dashed into the woods, disappearing imdiately, like a bird flying into the deep forest. Man Cang could climb walls, moving through the dense forest as if on flat ground, which is why Ye Shikai chose him for the chase.
“Dismiss the entire army, sentinels in position.” Ye Shikai commanded the entire army to retreat and enter the camp.
“Shangguan, it’s pouring heavy rain now, rember to cover the granary with straw, otherwise if the food gets moldy, the soldiers will surely complain.” Ye Shikai looked at the pouring rain, feeling overwheld. Back when he was in Dragon Teeth, he managed fewer than a hundred people, and didn’t have to worry about food spoiling, leaky roofs, or transportation issues, but since coming to the Qin Dynasty as a commanding general, he had to consider everything, worrying about many things.
“Don’t worry, I’ve already sent soone to handle it, weapons and food are all placed above to prevent moisture and rust.” Shangguan Jian replied.
Originally intended to fight a bloody battle, but encountered such adverse weather conditions, making it an “inauspicious start”.
Two days later.
“Old Ye, this is at soup made by the kitchen, drink so while it’s hot.” Suddenly, it poured, and the temperature dropped sharply. The weather was already quite cool, but now that it’s raining, the temperature might not even reach ten degrees, and inside the mountains, the temperature is even lower compared to outside.
“Thank you.” Ye Shikai gestured for him to place the soup on the table.
“Feeding and clothing three thousand people in the mountains is a huge endeavor, supplies must be sent by the cavalry from the county, and soone sent to the mountain pass to pick them up and deliver them deep into the mountains. These days, send more soldiers to protect the transport team, don’t let these rebel armies ambush.” Ye Shikai reminded.
“Hmm, I’ll personally lead people to protect the transport team, but with such heavy rain, those bandits probably can’t set fires, right? With so many supplies, even if left there, the bandits can’t carry them away.”
“That’s sowhat reasonable.” The reason for setting fire to supplies historically has been because they’re hard to carry away. Since they can’t be taken, they shouldn’t be left to the enemy, hence being set on fire, but now with such heavy rain, even flammable materials are hard to ignite.
Ye Shikai walked out of the tent, reached out to feel the heavy rain falling from the sky, and felt even more worried.
“Report to the General, the transport team has encountered an issue, the village chief sent to explain the situation to the two commanders.” At this ti, a soldier suddenly rushed in from outside, hurriedly addressing the two.
“What, have the bandits ambushed our transport team?” Ye Shikai’s heart nearly leapt out of his throat upon hearing this, if the supplies were compromised, the entire unit would be left hungry.
“Ah, oh no, it’s not the rebel army robbing the convoy, it’s because of the weather.”
“What do you an?” Ye Shikai asked.
“Back to the general, it’s been raining heavily these days, the original roads have turned into muddy swamps, furthermore, so low-lying areas are already flooded, with the deepest places subrging to waist level.” The soldier continued, “Our village chief has already led people to reroute the transport, it might take so ti, but please rest assured, the supplies will surely arrive, three thousand brothers won’t go hungry.”
“Hmm, you’ve worked hard, I was just planning to send so soldiers to assist your transport team.” Ye Shikai brushed rainwater off his raincoat and spoke calmly.
“Thank you, General, I’ll be returning now.”

Ye Shikai originally thought the storm would co quickly and go quickly, but it’s been two days and the rain hasn’t lessened at all, the rainwater didn’t have ti to drain and instead mixed with the original mountain water, pooling together, though, one good thing is that Ye Shikai no longer worries about rebel armies poisoning the water…
“I went outside the mountain today to inquire with local elders, this kind of rain might last another ten days.” Shangguan Jian was quite helpless, not scouting weather conditions before the expedition was a strategic misstep.
“What, so long?” Ye Shikai felt more troubled upon hearing this news.
“Yes, the rain continues unabated, many places have turned into flood zones, difficult to march, in a few days, the transport team might have to change routes again.”
“Wait, Shangguan, what did you just say?” Ye Shikai suddenly shouted, startling Shangguan Jian.
“Scared , what did I just say, the transport team?”
“No, I an the sentence before that.”
“The rain is too heavy, many places have turned into flood zones.”
“That’s right, that sentence.” Ye Shikai suddenly ca to the desk, pulling out the map.
“Shangguan, I know how to defeat the enemy now, this rain has been a huge help to us.” Ye Shikai shouted excitedly, clapping his hands.

“Sir, how are you feeling?” Several blood-stained n helped Wang Kai into the cargo hold, they were all Kui Tuo Si’s subordinates, also Wang Kai’s trusted followers.
“Don’t worry, I won’t die for now.” Wang Kai’s voice was weak, his face pale, the wounds on his body had dried blood, he was seriously injured, his Inner Strength depleted, more importantly, his spirit was poor, emotionally low, Kui Tuo Si’s death was a blow to him, he vowed, if he couldn’t personally take revenge on Doris, he wouldn’t consider himself a man, but now, he wasn’t Doris’s match, even… his lair was destroyed.
“Sir, we are now targeted by Doris and Aphrodite, if we travel by airport, we will likely be discovered, so you’ll have to endure taking the cargo hold to Yanjing.”
“No problem, none of this matters, if avenging Kui Tuo Si ans I’d have to swim there, I’d do it.” Wang Kai gritted his teeth, wishing to tear Doris “limb from limb.”
“Indeed, we must avenge Lord Kui Tuo Si, please take care, once we reach Yanjing, we will seek out Lord Moon God and plan our revenge.” An aide advised.
“Brothers, it’s my incompetence that has caused you to wander.” Wang Kai looked at the seven or eight people beside him, suddenly feeling warmth in his heart, when one is in power, even if surrounded by thousands worshipping, it doesn’t compare to having a few loyal followers when in adversity, of course, most people in the War God Temple are loyal n, it’s just a sha, they’re all gone.
“Sir, we are all willing to follow you to the death, and we believe that with your strength, you can make a coback, after we kill those two won, avenge Lord Kui Tuo Si, we will co back and build an even greater temple.”
