Zhan Fei said, “Before attacking, we must analyze the demons’ movements to ensure victory.”

The demons had overrun the Plain of Corpses for many years, hence they knew the lay of the land much better than the humans. The troops would definitely suffer significant losses if they made a sudden attack without finding out the locations of the demon nests first.

Ji Fengyan raised her brows. “Oh? That’s interesting. How is it I am not aware of any duties for the Wolf Smoke Regiment?”

Ji Fengyan’s words stunned the nearby Blaze Army troops.

The Wolf Smoke Regiment didn’t know of the duties?

Zhan Fei smiled. “General Ji, you forgot…” But then he appeared to think of something and hurriedly changed his tune. “General Ji just arrived at the camp and is probably not too familiar with leading troops into battle. So… remaining in the camp to train your soldiers is the best arrangement.”

Despite the turnaround, Zhan Fei’s earlier unfinished sentence was thought-provoking.

Ji Fengyan knew Zhan Fei’s intentions very well, but…

“I appreciate Lord Zhan’s kindness, but the soldiers under me are mostly rookies. Rather than let them dally around in the camp, it is better that they pick up arms and get some real experience.”

All the soldiers were dumbstruck by Ji Fengyan’s words.

Zhan Fei asked Ji Fengyan. “What does General Ji mean?”

Ji Fengyan grinned. “Could I trouble Lord Zhan to let the Wolf Smoke Regiment exchange duties with the Blaze Army?”

What?

No one could believe Ji Fengyan would actually say something so extraordinary.

The Blaze Army’s task to report on any strange activity nearby the Plain of Corpses was dangerous. Even the veteran Blaze Army had nearly lost an entire team. Ji Fengyan’s men were nearly all rookies—she really wanted to exchange with the Blaze Army?

Wasn’t this a death wish?!

Everyone felt that Ji Fengyan had gone mad.

Throwing away the easy-going task of guarding the main camp to send her own troops into the danger zone—how could there be such a General in this world?

It also shocked Zhan Fei. He never imagined that Ji Fengyan would make such a request.

“General Ji, you…”

“What’s the matter? Is Lord Zhan unwilling?” Ji Fengyan raised her brows.

Zhan Fei narrowed his eyes before giving a sudden laugh.

“General Ji is young and impulsive. I can understand that. However, reconnaissance is not just some child’s play. It concerns our future battle with the demons. If anything goes wrong…”

“Military pledge.” Ji Fengyan spat out those three words.

Those three simple words rang loudly in the ears of the stunned gathering.

“If Lord Zhan doesn’t believe in the abilities of my Wolf Smoke Regiment, I can put down a military pledge right now before everyone—I will take responsibility and be punished if we fail to investigate the demons’ movements,” said Ji Fengyan with a grin.

Zhan Fei was utterly thunderstruck.

He had thought he could use this duty arrangements to sour the relations between Ji Fengyan and the Blaze Army. But he never imagined Ji Fengyan would be so bold as to use a military pledge to switch duties.

It should be made clear what was the situation with Ji Fengyan’s men. Zhan Fei had done his homework well and deduced that Ji Fengyan would never send a bunch of rookies to such dangerous territories. As such, he had devised this plan to sow discord between the two armies.

But…

Ji Fengyan’s methods had greatly surpassed Zhan Fei’s calculations.
