Chapter 590: Special Treatment (4)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Since the Generals of the Wolf Smoke Regiment and the Green Nightmare Army had their meeting, the Blaze Army had been assigned the most dangerous mission while the Wolf Smoke Regiment had become the team that got to “protect a 20,000-strong army”.

Not that the soldiers of the Blaze Army were unwilling to sacrifice for their country, but... they were unwilling to trade their own comrades’ lives for the benefit of others!

In that instant, the entire Blaze Army looked in a particular direction.

There stood Ji Fengyan with some Wolf Smoke Regiment soldiers.

Here they were shedding blood, sweat and tears outside while this Wolf Smoke Regiment, who had apparently sprung out of nowhere, got to stay in camp to enjoy the efforts of others.

What was even more enraging was the Blaze Army had already yielded to the situation, but now... Zhan Fei was not even willing to rescue their own men?

The Blaze Army had never felt so dejected before.

Ji Fengyan had brought her men over to investigate the commotion. Instead... they were treated to an entire “act”.

The expressions of the Blaze Army soldiers were complicated as they glanced over. Ji Fengyan was no fool and could see the underlying hatred and anger.

“General, there’s something fishy about all this.” Lu Shaoqing felt ill at ease after witnessing the entire scene.

Ji Fengyan smirked. “Fishy? This is something of extremely dubious proportions.”

She had known Situ Ba and Zhan Fei would not be so kind as to arrange for such good lodgings for the Wolf Smoke Regiment. So... all that was leading to this confrontation now.

“Did General know of the duty arrangements for the three armies?” Lu Shaoqing asked in a low voice.

Ji Fengyan shook her head.

Lu Shaoqing’s expression became even more grim. “General, this is terrible for the Wolf Smoke Regiment. The Blaze Army and Green Nightmare Army have never gotten along. And our regiment has come into this alliance with troops that are far behind the other two armies in experience and capabilities. But... the duty arrangements for this camp was really too weird. There is no need to guard a camp of this size, but... Lord Zhan publicly told everyone that our regiment wanted to stay on to guard the grounds. People will think we are a joke...”

Lu Shaoqing’s words were reserved but his meaning conveyed very clearly.

According to the Wolf Smoke Regiment’s qualifications, there was no way we have assigned them such an easy duty. Moreover, Ji Fengyan had indeed been invited by Situ Ba to his commanding tent. Although no one knew what they discussed inside, the different treatment of the three armies had been clearly displayed after that meeting.

The Blaze Army probably thought the Wolf Smoke Regiment had long been in cahoots with the Green Nightmare Army—sucking up to the Green Nightmare Army to enjoy the privilege of being assigned such an easy task.

Now that the Blaze Army had met with harm, Zhan Fei instantly stood on the Green Nightmare Army’s side. He had also dragged the Wolf Smoke Regiment to the same side, obviously going against the Blaze Army.

The Green Nightmare Army had no fear as they were mighty in both numbers combat abilities.

But...

It was different for the battle novice Wolf Smoke Regiment.

Once news of these spreads, both the Wolf Smoke Regiment and Ji Fengyan would be pinned as cunning cowards.

Ji Fengyan had also thought of the same issues raised by Lu Shaoqing. Observing how Zhan Fei was publicly giving the Blaze Army such a hard time—and all in front of her... he was clearly trying to sow discord between the Blaze Army and the Wolf Smoke Regiment.

If news of this situation reached outside ears, even Ji Fengyan—the teenage heroine who once saved the capital institute—would very soon be labeled a cowardly weakling.
