The Blaze Army soldier was dumbstruck by the reprimand and the corners of his bloodstained lips blanched.

“Lord… Lord Zhan?” He looked incredulously at Zhan Fei. He couldn’t believe that Zhan Fei was admonishing them so coldly when his team was being attacked by demons.

Zhan Fei lifted his chin at the soldier. “I have come to the Plain of Corpses to regain our territory from the demons. As a soldier, you should be prepared to sacrifice for your country. Look at you, crying and whining just because you suffered a demon attack. Such unbecoming behavior.”

As Zhan Fei scolded, the other soldiers from the Blaze Army had rushed over. Hearing his rebuke, their faces filled with rage.

“Lord Zhan!” Riddled with injuries, that soldier glared at Zhan Fei with furious eyes.

“How could we forget our position? My brothers-in-arms are still fighting in that demon ambush. I barely got the chance to escape to seek help. Does Lord Zhan not give a damn about their lives!!” The Blaze Army soldier couldn’t help hollering.

Zhan Fei’s eyes narrowed. He cast a harsh look at those Blaze Army soldiers.

“This is part of your duties.”

“Duty?” The Blaze Army soldier clenched his fists. “On what basis? Why should the Blaze Army be responsible for reconnaissance? Doesn’t Lord Zhan know how dangerous the area surrounding the Plain of Corpses is? This should be a three-army effort—why is the Blaze Army in charge of the most dangerous duty! And now, you are refusing to send reinforcements when we have suffered an attack during our reconnaissance—what kind of shit duty is this!”

The Blaze Army soldiers were in a rage. They had served the nation for so many years and killed countless demons. Now, this three-army alliance had led them into such a dire situation.

Just last night, under his role as supervising officer, Zhan Fei had ordered the Blaze Army to send a small, hundred-soldier team on a reconnaissance mission to monitor the demons’ movement in the area surrounding the Plain of Corpses. The troops had gone out under the cover of the night, but met with a sudden demon ambush. The team could not hold up against the demons’ attack—so several of them escaped to seek help.

But…

Zhan Fei looked like he had no intention of sending reinforcements!

The Green Nightmare Army had oppressed the Blaze Army for many years. In addition, General Yang Shun was unwell and command of the Blaze Army troops had been ceded to the Green Nightmare Army and Zhan Fei during this alliance.

“The three-army alliance needs everyone to play their part.” Zhan Fei glanced about casually. “The Green Nightmare Army is to patrol the surroundings while the Wolf Smoke Regiment has to stay back to guard the camp itself. The Blaze Army is just responsible for one part. Why so many complaints?”

The Blaze Army quivered with anger. Zhan Fei’s words had provoked them to the extreme.

They needed the Wolf Smoke Regiment to stay back and guard the camp?

Their camp had over 20,000 men—why was there a need to have 10,000 extra soldiers to guard it?

This was a complete joke!

The Blaze Army soldiers fumed in silence. Their General was unwell while they had been under the thumbs of the Green Nightmare Army for so many years. Moreover, the General of the Wolf Smoke Regiment had been immediately invited to the Green Nightmare Army’s commanding tent right after her arrival yesterday. The Blaze Army didn’t know what transpired then, but they did know one thing…
