Chapter 10: Counterattack (Seeking Recommendations)

Mystery of the Ages, Main Volume, Chapter 10: Counterattack on the Widow Bay Camp.

Outside the tent, there was a hubbub of noise.

Whether it was processing prisoners of war, treating the wounded, or tallying losses, everything required time.

However, Aaron had special privileges; he did not need to do things personally and could simply wait for the results.

At this moment, he was inside the tent, holding a notebook, pondering as he added a few lines to it.

【Green Banyan Newborn Month, 19th, I obtained extraordinary abilities in my dream, naming them 'Supernatural Memory' and 'Danger Perception'...】

【But after returning to reality, this extraordinariness vanished... Fortunately, 'Supernatural Memory' can be slowly learned and consolidated in the dream.】

【Regarding 'Danger Perception', I speculate it can only be obtained in the dream, and it can sense danger in reality; the range... is uncertain... This might be guessed through the enemy's sneak attack distance...】

【It seems that in this world, wanting to obtain the extraordinary is difficult, but not without ways to take shortcuts... Perhaps, I will become a 'Dream Diviner' in the future?】

After writing down the Chinese characters that only he could recognize, Aaron shook his head, put away the notebook, and laid his head down to enter dreamland.

His sleep quality had always been good, and coupled with the fatigue from the great battle, a sensation of falling immediately arrived.

When Aaron opened his eyes again, he saw those streaks of scarlet light once more.

The dream world.

"Hmm, my thinking feels much more agile; it really is different from reality..."

Aaron sensed again and nodded with satisfaction: "There is no feeling of danger either; 【Danger Perception】 has no warning, does that mean it is generally safe in reality too?"

Sleeping every day would increase the reserve of one unit of mysterious energy in the dream, but there was a time limit.

Within a single day, there was only one unit.

Therefore, the idea of farming energy by entering the dream multiple times within a day was also unfeasible.

Because he had obtained energy before, Aaron did not feel the generation of any new energy at this time.

"The laws of this dream world are very worth exploring; there are still many rules I have yet to discover..."

Aaron rested his chin on his hand and fell into deep thought.

Because his mind was active, he somewhat liked to treat the dream as a thinking room to make major decisions.

"Although I have thwarted the Davis Family's conspiracy this time, the war on Black Crow Dune still has great uncertainty. Once the Sotos Family is defeated, it will be a case of 'when the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact'..."

"When it reaches the point where external contradictions outweigh internal ones, hiding one's talents is a joke. I must help the Sotos Family defeat the Davis Family!"

"As for Colin's possible hostility? I can only choose the lesser of two evils. Besides, would I fear him? Heh..."

Just at this moment, Aaron had a subtle sensation again.

"Not danger, but someone is coming."

He closed his eyes and woke up from the dream.

At this time, Bazhi and the other Squad Leaders happened to enter, their faces filled with joy: "My Lord, we have thwarted the Davis Family's conspiracy and achieved a glorious victory."

It seemed that through interrogation, they had also learned of some of the conspiracy.

"Very well, tell me about it in detail."

Aaron waved his hand.

Bazhi rubbed his index finger: "Because you discovered it in advance, our casualties in this night raid were very low, but the results were very rich... Not only did we cut off more than thirty heads, but we also captured more than twenty prisoners. Among them, the most important one is Luo'an Davis, and also, congratulations to you, my Lord, for slaying the Knight Wild Bear Saliba."

"In terms of spoils, there are also two large ships docked not far from here. According to the prisoners' confessions, once they defeated us, they would have immediately taken the ships to reach our territory directly and sneak-attack the castle..."

Speaking of this, cold sweat dripped from Bazhi's forehead; if the Davis Family had succeeded in their sneak attack, their fate likely would not have been good.

"Bring that Luo An over."

Aaron thought for a moment and said.

Not long after, a young noble was dragged up like a dead dog.

The arrow wound on his leg had already been simply bandaged, but blood was still constantly seeping out from the cloth strips.

At this time, Luo'an Davis looked up, gazing at the young man who had defeated him, his face filled with shock and disbelief: "It's you?"

Back when the marriage contract was established under the Sacred Green Banyan Tree, Aaron had also seen the other party, so he couldn't help but smile: "Lord Luo An, long time no see."

This person was the nephew of the Davis lord and could be considered a trusted aide.

If he were not a trusted person, he would not have been sent to execute such a mission.

"To think that we have always looked down on you." Luo'an sighed: "With this kind of military strategy and quality, you are the most outstanding heir!"

"At death's door, and you still want to sow discord?"

Aaron ignored the varied expressions of his subordinates and said indifferently: "However, you still have a chance to live: take my men and sneak-attack the Davis Family's castle!"

Once these words were spoken, Luo'an's expression changed.

War indeed relied on hard power. While the Davis Family's main force was entangled with the Sotos army on the front line, being able to scrape together such a surprise attack force had already been a desperate gamble. At this time, their territory must be extremely empty.

Moreover, they thought they were the ones going to sneak-attack and would absolutely not expect to be attacked. As long as the speed was fast enough, they could arrive before those defeated soldiers returned!

At this time, a convenient means of transport like ships was crucial.

Luo'an never imagined that the tool he prepared to attack the Sotos would turn around and become a noose for the Davis Family!

"Of course, you can also refuse. Anyway, I only need a guide; I presume among the other prisoners, there will always be someone willing."

Aaron said unhurriedly: "And by that time, you will be useless..."

Hearing this, Luo'an's expression turned ghastly.

Half an hour later, a group of people boarded the ships that originally belonged to the Davis family.

With those prisoners rowing the oars with all their might, they headed toward the Davis Territory.

The Mother River under the moonlight was quiet and peaceful.

Bazhi walked behind Aaron with some unease: "My Lord... can we get there one step faster than those fleeing soldiers?"

The castle defenses of this era are astonishing; as long as they are prepared, his small group of men definitely cannot take it down.

"I don't know, let's try our luck."

Aaron said quite indifferently: "Besides, even if we cannot capture the castle, we can still plunder the civilian houses around the castle... harassing the enemy's rear is also a great merit."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of his subordinates changed, adding a great deal of Greed.

Even Bazhi could not help but be moved.

Indeed!

The Davis Territory is empty at this time, simply a big piece of fat meat.

It would be a real pity not to take a bite!
