Chapter 3117: Battle (5)

Imagawa Chisa had expected Yao Feng would not let them go.

If she let them go, that would be impossible.

But what could be done now?

They could only try to negotiate.

While Imagawa Chisa was thinking of a countermeasure, a werewolf stepped up behind him.

He shouted at Yao Feng: "Captain Yao, the noble imperial elites in the central area have returned now, and the nobles' strength will increase considerably. The current enemy is no longer us — you should be aware of this, right? Blocking us now does no one any good. Better to let us pass; that would count as doing us a favor."

Yao Feng sneered coldly: "What are you? Qualified to speak with me? Stand aside. Imagawa Chisa, are you surrendering or not?"

"What the hell did you just say?" That werewolf was also wearing enchanted armor; he seemed to be a werewolf vice-captain.

Hearing Yao Feng's so impolite attitude, he was absolutely furious.

"Fall back!" Imagawa Chisa barked, driving off that werewolf.

But that werewolf seemed unconvinced, still glaring viciously at Yao Feng.

Zhao Chi used Deep Perception again, instantly obtaining that werewolf's information.

Yamazaki Shinsuke, Vice Captain.

Just as guessed.

Yamazaki Shinsuke instantly sensed that Deep Perception was probing him, and his furious gaze shifted from Yao Feng to Su Qin.

But the two sides were enemies, so Yamazaki Shinsuke couldn't say anything about being probed.

Zhao Chi continued watching.

Beside him was another vice-captain, a female werewolf — Oshima Oriyo.

But her appearance...

Perhaps werewolves thought she looked good.

Oshima Oriyo's wolf eyes gleamed as she also fixed her gaze on Su Qin.

Zhao Chi paid no attention and continued observing.

Werewolves kept staring at Su Qin one after another, but all they could do was glower.

The lords of the World-Breaking Army, seeing the werewolves staring at Su Qin, all glared back viciously.

For a moment, both sides were engaged in a staring contest.

Zhao Chi rapidly probed multiple werewolves.

But only the first three he saw were of relatively high rank; the highest rank among the rest was merely captain.

Perhaps there were still vice-captain level ones behind that group, but they were blocked from Zhao Chi's view.

Imagawa Chisa took a deep breath.

Then he said: "Captain Yao, what Captain Yamazaki just said is true. If the nobles recover, it won't be good for anyone. We're heading to the central area to continue confronting the nobles — we are not your enemies. The nobles are our common enemy. Don't forget we are all part of the Resistance."

Yao Feng snorted:

"Resistance? Since when have you people been part of the Resistance?

"Don't put gold on your own face.

"Back then, our two sides merely shared the same objective, so we each acted on our own and didn't interfere with each other.

"But we never formed an alliance, and you were never part of the Resistance. From beginning to end, you have always been werewolves.

"Leave the matter of confronting the nobles to others. You stay put and become our nourishment.

"Time is short, don't play tricks. What I want is your surrender, and then I guarantee I'll spare your lives. I, Yao Feng, have always kept my word.

"This is a rare opportunity — think it over carefully.

"Otherwise, you will surely die!"

Oshima Oriyo stepped forward: "Surrender is impossible! Yao Feng, don't push your luck!"

Yao Feng glanced at her, then said: "And who are you? Captain Imagawa, your ability to manage your subordinates is pretty poor — anyone dares to butt in."

Oshima Oriyo said furiously: "I am Vice Captain of Captain Imagawa's main force — Oshima Oriyo!"

Yao Feng said lightly: "Oh~ as expected, some nobody I've never heard of!"

"What! Yao Feng, you seek death?"

"Shut up!" Imagawa Chisa was also forcibly suppressing his anger, but he still stopped Oshima Oriyo.

Yao Feng smiled: "What is it, Captain Imagawa? Have you thought it through? Going to surrender?"

"... Impossible!"

Imagawa Chisa gritted his teeth.

"Impossible? Then we can only fight, I suppose?" Yao Feng smiled.

"If you keep pressing us, then we can only let you see the power of the Holy Race." Imagawa Chisa seemed to have made up his mind to fight.

Yao Feng sneered coldly: "What time do you think this is, still calling yourselves the Holy Race? Our reinforcements will arrive soon. Now is the best time for you to surrender. Wait until our reinforcements arrive and you surrender then — the sincerity won't be as high as now, and whether you can live or not will be truly uncertain."

Imagawa Chisa immediately looked around.

But he only saw the surrounding scouts and aerial units overhead, and saw no one else.

Imagawa Chisa said viciously:

"Yao Feng!

"We will never surrender!

"Don't even dream about it!

"Captains Asai and Hyuga died at your hands only because they fell for your poisonous scheme, not because you could truly beat them head-on.

"I know your White Tiger Regiment's strength has grown a lot recently, but the gap between us has not yet grown to the point where you must win.

"How about this — I can leave one company with you as a sign of sincerity.

"But wanting us to surrender completely — that's absolutely impossible.

"This should be acceptable, right?"

Yamazaki Shinzuke immediately stopped him: "Captain, this won't do! How could we abandon an entire squadron? It would chill the hearts of the Holy Clan's warriors!"

Oshima Oroyō also urged: "Captain Imagawa, stop wasting words with that woman. The White Tiger Regiment is nothing to fear — let's fight!"

Imagawa Chisa snarled: "The two of you shut your mouths! The Commander-in-Chief of the Imagawa Main Force is still me. The Imagawa Main Force is still the Imagawa Main Force — not the Yamazaki Main Force, and not the Oshima Main Force. Understood!?"

Yamazaki Shinzuke shuddered all over and immediately lowered his head: "Yes!"

Oshima Oroyō's face showed venomous resentment, but she also lowered her head and nodded: "Yes, Commander-in-Chief Imagawa."

Imagawa Chisa forced out an ugly smile: "How about it, Regiment Commander Yao? Consider it? I'll leave you one squadron of men — that way you can report back too."

Yao Feng laughed.

"Report back? Report back to whom? Do I need to report back to anyone?"

Imagawa Chisa's eyes flickered with a ghostly light.

He had no way to refute Yao Feng's words.

Yao Feng was the commander of the White Tiger Regiment, and was now the strongest lord of the Snowfield City Breaking-World Army — and held the highest rank.

When it came to reporting, it was others who reported to her. How could she possibly report to anyone else?

Imagawa Chisa suppressed his fury: "Fine, Yao Feng — are you really getting this swollen-headed now? One squadron is my bottom line. If you don't agree, let's not waste any more time! Then we can only fight!"

Yao Feng checked the system.

Gu Zhan's main force would arrive in another 25 minutes.

It was fine to start fighting now.

But stalling a bit longer would be even better.

Just as she was about to speak and buy more time, a piercing dragon's roar suddenly rang out across the night sky.

Yao Feng's eyebrow rose.

Someone else coming?

It definitely wasn't Gu Zhan's main force — they wouldn't be this fast.
