Chapter 567

(Unedited)

…

They waited with calm breath as they heard two footsteps getting closer to their location. Then suddenly they heard the two people laughing while discussing something.

"Hahaha… Hey, what do you think would happen tomorrow will those fools from the Golden Dragon Empire still attack?"

"Haha... They can try, with our 4th captain and the others; we can take them down easily…"

"Che, you just rely on the 4th captain… Oh, I remember that our companions haven\'t returned yet, right? Do you think they are alright?"

"I don\'t know… it was a suicide mission after all…"

"Yeah… Tsk… Tsk… Well, we have to continue guarding the secret entrance in case they came back…"

"You really keep your hopes up…"

The two soldiers said while passing by the two as they walked towards the secret entrance direction. The 2nd captain suddenly wanted to stand up and ask the two but the fourth captain held his hand and shook his head.

"Let\'s go… I think those two just relieve themselves at the river." The 4th captain said as he stood up and turns around.

However, his eyes have a suspicious glow in them and a slight smile appears on his face. From the armor and the dripping water, he seems to understand something. But since the two belong to his group, he would let them be this time.

And so, the two captains walked back to the stronghold through the 2nd secret entrance.

…

When Shin Jiao tries to listen to the footsteps of the two hiding in the bushes and heard that they seem to be leaving he heaves a sigh of relief.

His eyesight in the darkness is clear though not as clear as daylight, but he can still see. And the person beside him wearing just the upper armor is still dripping wet.

She was silent and although she played her part, she didn\'t talk to Shin Jiao on their way to the secret entrance of the camp.

"You should return or the captain would suspect you." Shin Jiao said with a smile as he took off the robe and the sword.

He then gave it to Chen Tung. After receiving her things back she was about to turn back.

"Wait… just get dresses over there… I will watch your back…"

When she heard his words, she squinted.

Seeing her reaction Shin Jiao smiled sheepishly. It is clear that she misunderstood his words. But he didn\'t explain further and just gave her a clean change of clothes and gestured for her to go on. And then turn his back.

Seeing his action the young woman seems to have understood and blushed a little for her thinking. She didn\'t hesitate and immediately wrapped her body with the strip of cloth. She wore the clean piece of cloth that Shin Jiao gave. She was a bit surprised to see that the young doctor actually has a change of clothes. But she was a little grateful for his help.

Chen Tung might not be a beauty due to the blade scars on her face, and her body is fit with well-defined muscles comparable to a man, but her intelligence is one thing and this is combined with her strong fighting prowess which made her a very capable woman.

When she turns around after getting dressed, she discovered that Shin Jiao is already gone.

She looks around and found no one. She was baffled and felt a bit awed at the mysterious young doctor. However, upon remembering the ambiguous situation a while ago, his cheeks suddenly blushed as she walked back to her tent.

Upon arriving at the tent, she soon discovers that there is a person inside it.

She slowly enters and found the captain sitting on a chair. Seeing this, her heart skipped a beat, but her experience as a soldier of the empire calmed her down.

"Oh, Captain! What came over you to visit me at this time?" Chen Tung asked as she walked towards the armor rack.

The captain carefully checked the clothes of Chen Tung. When he discovered that they are clean and dry, he squinted his eyes and tried to recall if the person he saw outside is carrying a change of clothes or a small bag. But he could not remember it.

"Maybe it was just my imagination or that the surrounding is dark." The 4th captain thought.

After removing the armor and help, she walked to the table and pour herself a cup of tea.

"Where were you?" the 4th captain probes.

"I was at the secret entrance. Two of our subordinates wanted to relieve themselves and I waited for them there."

"Oh, I see… Well, I came here to discuss something with you…"

The two discussed the upcoming battle for a while and later, the captain walked out of the tent. Although he didn\'t found anything, he is sure that the soldier he saw was Chen Tung and there is another soldier not wearing any piece armor. But it was too dark back then and he was not sure.

As a soldier of the empire, the 4th captain was born in a humble peasant family. His name is Long Li Lai, the son of a farmer.

But later he discovers that his mother actually has noble blood in her and soon after his father died, he and his mother were taken back to the Pi clan, a small noble clan in a small town of Grasslake in the Silver Moon Empire.

From there he was taught by his grandfather and uncles in his mother\'s side about martial arts and was educated by them. He was found to have high talent in both martial arts and military arts and so he was sent to the imperial military academy in the capital.

That is where he met the 3rd prince and the rivalry between them started. He was bullied by the 3rd prince, but the superiors didn\'t neglect this talented junior. Through his hard work and accomplishments, he rose up through the ranks of the soldiers and proved himself better than the rest.

And soon at a young age of 27, he was promoted as a captain.

Long Li Lai is a very wise and hardworking soldier and is well-respect by his colleagues. Without the 3rd prince breathing on his back, he would have already accomplished many. But then who would have known that in his current mission, he would be with the pompous 3rd prince. He has no choice but to keep his head down and follow.

But he already promised in his heart to work hard and reach the ranks of the general. That way, he can have his own power to raise his head high and fight against the prince.

As he walked out of the tent of Chen Tung, Long Li Lai had a pleasant smile on his face. He knew that his assistant is a very reliable person and comrade. After talking to him, he knew that his plan would be feasible and he immediately wanted to convey this to the general.

A man in his forties with some battle scars on his face sits in front of the table while looking at a parchment in his hand.

His expression would sometimes change as he continues reading.

Soon he put the parchment down and looks at the person sitting at the opposite side of him.

"This plan… you thought of it, right?" General Hu asked.

Long Li Lai smiled and took a sip of the tea. He then took out another parchment on his robe and handed it to the general.

"That was the first plan, and this is the final plan." He said.

"It was my assistant who refined it and came out with this final idea." He said as he took another sip of the tea.

When the general read the second plan, a pleasant smile appears on his face. And then he chuckled while shaking his head.

"The young would surely replace the old… you have a very capable assistant. This plan is really thorough as if he can already see what would happen in the battle tomorrow. I would really like to meet this person."

"General, it would be our honor." Long Li Lai said as he stood up and cupped his hands in respect.

"Alright, alright… prepare your troops tomorrow and depart directly to the back mountains. We will be relying on you this time… Hahaha…"

"Thank you, sir…" Long Li Lai once again cupped his hands and left the tent.

This time a wide smile appears on his face. His eyes are filled with determination. He is determined to help his soldiers and at the same time gain recognition for their own efforts. Although his company is filled with peasants and lower nobles, he is confident that they would be able to be of great help in the war tomorrow.

As he left the tent, a couple of eyes are watching him. After he left those people in the shadows reported what they saw to the other captains who are staying in a room.

"What? Are you sure? That conniving bastard! I knew that he would do this… I thought that he just looks weak and pathetic, I knew now why the prince told us not to underestimate that guy."

"What should we do then?"

"We have to wait till dawn… the prince doesn\'t want people disturbing his sleep…"

"Wouldn\'t that be too late?"

"It\'s not… we still have time."

…

And soon the light of dawn slowly rises to the sky parting away from the darkness with its golden rays. Right at this moment, a soldier enters the tent of the prince.

"Your highness, it\'s time to wake up… some of the captains are waiting for you outside…" the soldier said as he began preparing the clothes and armor of the 3rd prince.

However, upon hearing no sound the soldier walked near the prince. Seeing that the prince is breathing calmly, he thought that the prince is still sleeping. He didn\'t want to wake him up and so he continues preparing everything.

After he was done, he walked to the side of the prince and shook the prince to wake him. However, he soon discovers something is wrong.

And this discovery made the soldier widen his eyes in disbelief.

Not long later a commotion erupted from the side of the 1st infantry company.
