“Don’t… don’t underestimate me!”
Cai Dayuan, greatly embarrassed, wanted to retort, but suddenly realized he had no capital for any comeback.
“Ha, are you guys going to charge first? Cai Dayuan, since when did you become so brave?”
Sun Fatty looked at Cai Dayuan with a smile, and his subordinates also wore mocking expressions.
“Forget it, let them go first!”
Zhang Chen said from the side.
“That works too, I’ll listen to you!”
Cai Dayuan was initially caught in an awkward position, but hearing Zhang Chen’s words, he quickly took the opportunity to descend.
“Haha, I knew you were a coward!”
“Hey, you four, why don’t you follow me? I’ve already trained three team leaders, and in a little while, I can be promoted to Section Chief.”
“This Cai Dayuan has been in the cult for over twenty years and hasn’t accomplished anything. The subordinates he led were either poached away or died.”
“Think about it carefully, it’s not too late to find me after this mission is completed!”
Sun Fatty, without any regard for Cai Dayuan’s dignity, was poaching his men right in front of him.
However, Cai Dayuan’s face turned red, and he remained silent.
There was indeed nothing he could say, as what the other man said was the truth.
The people who followed him truly had no good outcomes…
“Time’s about up, charge!”
Sun Fatty glanced at the sky. The sun had completely set behind the mountains, and only then did he whistle.
Following that, a group of Mother Goddess Cult followers rushed out from their hiding places, shouting loudly.
“Everyone, don’t be afraid. We’ve scouted ahead. The guards here only have short bows with short range. We just need to provoke them from outside their range and lure them out!”
Sun Fatty shouted with a crowd of cultists outside the range.
Swish!
Suddenly, an arrow descended from the sky, striking down a female cultist next to Sun Fatty.
“Huh? What’s going on? At this distance, they shouldn’t be able to attack!”
Sun Fatty’s expression changed.
But before he could react, countless arrows shot down from the watchtower like raindrops.
Thump!
Ouch!
The surrounding cultists fell, hit by arrows.
Some unlucky ones were directly pierced through the head by arrows and died without even a groan.
In an instant, a large number of cultists were shot down.
“Retreat, quick, retreat! The intel is wrong, the enemy has longbows, retreat quickly!”
Sun Fatty shouted urgently.
However, escaping the range of the arrows was not that easy.
Moreover, the surrounding area was open, with nowhere to hide, and fleeing with their backs to the arrows made it even more dangerous.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Another volley of arrows rained down. The dozens of Mother Goddess Cult followers were already decimated.
Only Sun Fatty, using the bodies of the two attractive female cultists beside him as shields on his back, managed to escape. However, his arm was also hit by an arrow, bleeding profusely.
“Damn it, are all these intelligence gatherers imbeciles?”
“They said the elves on the watchtower had short bows, short bows my ass! All my subordinates are gone, I’m a lone wolf now!”
Sun Fatty roared.
“It’s okay, Little Sun, you can join my group. I will take good care of you!”
Cai Dayuan said smugly.
He showed no sorrow for the deaths of so many fellow Mother Goddess Cult followers.
He wasn’t even worried about the failure of the mission to lure out the elves from the watchtower.
What pleased him the most now was seeing Sun Fatty in such a predicament.
“These Mother Goddess Cult followers are truly very united!”
Miao Qi whispered, her tone filled with sarcasm.
“It’s quite strange that such fellows can become a great threat to the Elf Kingdom.”
Miao Yin pursed her lips and said.
“They must have some ultimate weapon. These cultists were never the main combat force, they were just meant to be sacrificed and used as cannon fodder.”
“Those Faceless Puppets are their main army!”
“As long as there is strong support, no matter how weak the organization is, it’s not a problem.”
Miao Ke explained from the side.
The situation of the Cat-eared Tribe and the Mother Goddess Cult was the opposite.
The Cat-eared Tribe was very united, and everyone was friendly.
But they lacked strong support. In such a situation, unity alone could not make the tribe powerful. In the end, they could only be confined to River Valley City and bullied by the empire.
“However… if they can get intelligence on the Elf Kingdom, it’s highly possible that there are Mother Goddess Cult moles within the Elf Kingdom.”
“Miao Ke, have the Elf Queen investigate and see if there are any elves with suspicious behavior. All their city defense intelligence has been leaked!”
Zhang Chen said.
“Okay!”
The four of them hid in the grass behind and whispered.
Cai Dayuan, in front, was fully focused on mocking Sun Fatty. With such a loud voice, no matter what was discussed behind them, it could not be heard.
Swish!
Suddenly, a red flare rose, bursting into a brilliant bloom in the sky.
“The signal is here!”
Cai Dayuan’s face turned pale.
“What does this signal mean?”
Zhang Chen asked.
“This means… the general offensive has begun!”
“Although our tactic to lure the enemy failed, the general offensive will still proceed as planned…”
“But if that’s the case… what’s the point of our tactic to lure the enemy? Whether it fails or succeeds, it won’t change the overall strategy of the higher-ups…”
Cai Dayuan sat on the ground dejectedly, his eyes filled with confusion.
“Heh, I finally understand!”
Sun Fatty pulled hard, wrenching the arrow out along with the flesh, causing him to wince in pain.
However, he quickly began to bandage and treat the wound, and the bleeding soon stopped.
“There is a large army of Faceless Puppets above. Taking the Elf Kingdom is a sure victory. There’s no need for peculiar tactics like luring enemies or sneak attacks, nor are there so-called infiltration teams.”
“Our role is to test the strength of the Elf Kingdom’s defenses, so they can dispatch corresponding puppet armies to crush the elf defenses in one fell swoop. This is their true purpose.”
“For victory, we are just expendable pawns.”
Sun Fatty said, standing up slowly after bandaging his wound.
As soon as he finished speaking, pairs of neatly arranged giant Faceless Puppets, along with a strong Faceless army, slowly emerged from the woods behind.
They marched in orderly steps, launching a full-scale offensive towards the border of the Elf Kingdom.
Arrows rained down like raindrops, but they were all blocked by the Faceless with their shields.
Then, a giant Faceless suddenly leaped high into the air and, with a spinning kick, broke the watchtower in half.
“This is… Qing Feng’s technique…”
Swish swish swish!
Countless dense arrows shot out from the forest, comprehensively bombarding the elf territory.
“They’ve learned archery skills too…”
