Chapter 1410: Chapter 1409: An Army at the Gates

Seeing the increasing number of enemies outside, Ling Feng and the others felt a bit uneasy. Although the angels guarding the base had used a secret technique to inform Camille of the situation, Camille was in Flying Cloud City and couldn’t possibly arrive in ti.

Distant water can’t quench a nearby thirst, so Ling Feng and the others could only rely on themselves for salvation now.

“If we defend with all our might, how long can we hold out?” Ling Feng asked.

The commander of the stationed angel army frowned slightly. He didn’t have much of a favorable impression of Ling Feng. After all, Ling Feng’s strength was too low, only at the Mid Divine Realm. In battle, such strength is akin to cannon fodder.

However, he also knew Ling Feng’s identity wasn’t so simple. Otherwise, Lord Camille wouldn’t treat him with such respect. But even so, he disliked Ling Feng’s probing behavior.

“We have powerful formations and prohibitions here; holding out until Lord Camille returns is absolutely no problem!” the angel army commander said flatly, “Rest assured!”

Ling Feng hesitated before saying, “Sir, haven’t you ever considered why we are surrounded?”

The angel army commander’s eyes narrowed, “What do you an?”

Ling Feng said in a deep voice, “Camille just left, and she took away most of the troops. At this mont, we are surrounded by the enemy. Don’t you have any suspicions?”

“How dare you!” the angel army commander suddenly shouted, grabbing Ling Feng by the collar and lifting him up.

The Bright Saintess sternly shouted, “Let go, do you know what you’re doing!”

Ling Feng gestured to the Bright Saintess to calm down, then stared into the eyes of the angel army commander, “What’s wrong? Is there no logic in what I said?”

“Impossible! Lord Camille would never compromise with the Holy Spirit!” A trace of killing intent appeared in the angel army commander’s eyes, “If you continue to slander Lord Camille, I will not let you off!”

Ling Feng was stunned, then angrily cursed, “Is your brain made of mush? When did I say Camille compromised with the Holy Spirit?”

The angel army commander was taken aback, “Didn’t you just imply that Lord Camille sold us out?”

Ling Feng was speechless, “Are you a pig? If even Camille betrayed us, all your bases would have been wiped out long ago! Haven’t you considered that it might be soone among your companions who betrayed us?”

The angel army commander hesitated, “You an, it’s not that Lord Camille compromised, but rather soone else has betrayed us?”

Ling Feng sighed. Although this angel army commander had the cultivation of the Azure Sky Realm, his software clearly hadn’t kept pace with the hardware upgrade. Was his brain really full of mush?

“Isn’t that obvious?” Ling Feng sighed and said, “I an… how long do you plan to keep holding ?”

The angel army commander quickly put Ling Feng down, looking a little embarrassed, then his face turned furious, “Whoever it is, let know, and I will tear him to pieces!”

“So impressive, so majestic!” Ling Feng clapped sarcastically, “Alright, why don’t you just give the order to arrest those traitors, I’m sure Camille would highly comnd you when she returns!”

“Really?” The angel army commander’s face lit up, smiling like a simpleton.

“But… I don’t know who the traitors are!” The angel army commander looked at Ling Feng with hopeful eyes, “How do I catch them, who do I catch?”

“It seems you’ve finally realized this crucial problem!” Ling Feng felt exhausted speaking with this dull big guy and began to understand a bit why Camille’s long-planned resistance efforts hadn’t progressed significantly.

Camille’s subordinates lacked not experts but a good number of talents truly capable of handling situations independently! Otherwise, the crisis in Flying Cloud City wouldn’t have required Camille to lead a team personally to resolve.

Now that they were surrounded, everyone was already on edge. If the angel army commander were to launch a massive investigation into traitors and Neijiang, it would certainly cause greater panic, possibly leading to a self-defensive collapse without any enemy intervention.

Therefore, even if an investigation were to happen, it couldn’t be conducted openly. Ling Feng believed that the traitors must be even more careful now, and it was almost impossible to catch them red-handed in a short ti!

Ling Feng frowned, thought for a mont, and said, “By the way, the question I asked you earlier, was your answer true?”

“What question?” The angel army commander was sowhat at a loss.

“Of course, about how many days we can hold out!” Ling Feng said solemnly, “Now the enemy significantly outmatches us; counterattacking is impossible. We can only rely on the formations and prohibitions you ntioned to maneuver against the enemy, so I want to know how effective these formations and prohibitions really are, and which ones are particularly impactful?”

Perhaps Ling Feng’s calmness brought so reassurance to the angel army commander, and his attitude toward Ling Feng had changed from what it was before.

He now regarded Ling Feng as an equal.

After leaving the angel army commander, the Bright Saintess curiously asked, “Ling Feng, are you really sure there are traitors and spies here? Moreover… don’t you suspect this commander?”

Ling Feng shook his head, “How can I be certain there’s really a traitor? I’m not a Prophet! I just think it’s possible. As for what you ntioned, although the commander is powerful, he’s not the ticulous type. If he were a traitor, Camille would have noticed long ago!”

“Besides, do we have any other choice now?” Ling Feng sighed, “If even the commander chosen by Camille is a traitor, then no matter how hard we try, we won’t be able to escape unscathed!”

The Bright Saintess nodded in silent agreent.

Now with the army at the doorstep, this surrounded feeling cast a shadow over everyone’s heart.

In fact, there was another reason Ling Feng didn’t tell the Bright Saintess, which was that through the recent events, Ling Feng obtained the angel army commander’s token, aning he could move freely within this base. If the angel army were to collapse, Ling Feng could imdiately take the Bright Saintess and leave.

While this might be unethical, Ling Feng wasn’t planning on sharing life and death with these angels. Of course, Ling Feng kept this thought to himself, as he didn’t want to appear as a despicable person in the eyes of the Bright Saintess.

“Lord, the enemies have already activated the defensive barrier!” Outside, a Sixteen-Winged Blazing Angel stood at the forefront of the army, and a ssenger angel approached and reported.

“It seems their ans are quite extravagant indeed!” The Sixteen-Winged Blazing Angel looked at the multicolored protective barrier in front, a shadow flitting across their eyes.
