Soaring of Galaxia

After they had broken into the castle of the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan, the matter of whether these people fought against each other, devolving into conflict or killing each other would no longer affect the overall situation.

Perhaps, this Commander Chen longed for everyone to kill each other off. Once people started to kill each other, there would inevitably be death and injuries. At that time, they could even give away less rewards!

Of course, although Qin Wushuang had thought about this fact, he would not expose it. He only sat in his original place and pretended to show that he was listening attentively. Naturally, he did not reveal a single hint of his thoughts in his expression.

After Commander Chen had made his speech, he also looked around with his eyes. Apparently, he was also observing everyone’s reaction. Under his forceful gaze, these people was powerless to resist and did not dare to look at him in the eye.

Finally, Commander Chen smiled lightly and said: "Alright, that’s it for tonight. Tomorrow morning, the tasks will be assigned. Everyone should return to their camps and rest early to prepare for battle!"

After the meeting, each person returned to their tent to rest.

Early next morning, the valley began to bustle with activity. People from different teams exited their tents and began to take walks around the area.

Most people who had participated in this task were freelance martial artists and had the habit of getting up early to train. Thus, in groups of three or two, they spread out around this valley.

A while later, the signal to assemble was given and the team gathered again.

Under the morning sunlight, that Commander Chen appeared even more confident and looked in the direction of the Hundred Leaf State with a calm gaze. He said: "Everyone, for sure that at this moment, the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan is in full battle array. This time, half of the attacks will be a scheme in the dark and half will be in the open. The open part is that we knew that the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan has made preparations, and they also know that we will attack soon. As for the things in the dark, it’s rather informative."

"Regarding the timing of attack, how to attack, the arrangement, and the strategies are all within this scheme. For now, the team will still be divided into four groups. The General Managers will lead each team. As for where you go, how to execute the tasks, each of your General Managers know it by heart. You guys only need to follow your General Managers and carry out their orders."

After Commander Chen had finished speaking, he waved his hand: "Everyone, remember the rules from yesterday! There will be nothing further, the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan have way too many great things waiting for us to take! Let’s go!"

The team under General Manager Su picked a route and started to travel towards the direction of the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan under his leadership.

Although Qin Wushuang was still confused at this point as he had not grasped any clues, he knew that he could not rush this thing.

Once he became hasty, it would be even more easier for him to expose his flaws.

All arrangements of this Commander Chen had been conducted secretly. Besides the four elite warriors at the General Manager level who knew the exact plan, everyone else would not know about the attack strategies. To a great extent, this had prevented the leak of any information. Indeed, this move was extremely cautious.

Along the way, Bao Bao and Lone had followed Qin Wushuang’s instruction and did not act recklessly. Despite feeling anxiously inwardly, they knew that besides exposing themselves, it would not accomplish anything else.

After they had walked for a day, the team had entered the border of the Hundred Leaf State. General Manager Su took out the map and nodded after looking at it for a moment: "This is the mountain, we will set up camp here tonight."

Setting up another camp.

Although being kept in the dark made all members feel deceived, they knew that it was because the people in charge were afraid of spies planted in each team to steal information. Such actions would completely shut down any spies.

After they had set up camp, General Manager Su smiled: "Everyone, to not keep this as a secret, our team is the earliest one that made it into the Hundred Leaf State. And we are only three or four hundred miles away from the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan. It could be said our team is at the frontline."

That Red Pine Honored Warrior could not help but speak: "General Manager Su, all those skilled people didn’t come here instead, isn’t it somewhat unconvincing to let our team be in the vanguard."

Again, General Manager Su smiled lightly and asked carefreely: "Red Pine Honored Warrior, did I say that we are going to be in the vanguard?"

Red Pine Honored Warrior felt confused: "General Manager, since we are the first here and at the front line, how could it be that we are not the vanguard team?"

General Manager Su revealed a mysterious smile: "Everything has been arranged. The only thing I can tell you guys is that we are not the vanguard team!"

The other elite warrior at the Refined Void Martial Stage, that Mr. Ji with the grey hair said: "It’s not going to be a good thing for us to be kept in the dark. Since we have no idea what is going on, once a battle happens, we would not be able to react quickly without some mental preparation."

Still, General Manager Su spoke with a full confident tone: "Mr. Ji, please rest assured. For tonight, do not worry about the possibility of a battle. If a battle is to start tomorrow, I will let you guys know for sure. I will never let everyone rush into a fight without some preparation."

General Manager Su’s words had helped to reassure a lot of people .

Suddenly, Qin Wushuang said: "General Manager Su, there is one thing I don’t understand."

"Head of the Wu family, what would you like to say?"

"The mountain top that we are setting up our camp is a low-point among the surrounding mountains. I see that mountains surround us, wouldn’t we be completely exposed from people at the top by setting camp here? It doesn’t feel right setting up camp here."

"That’s right." The Red Pine Honored Warrior also suddenly realized this, "General Manager Su, the surrounding highgrounds around here, why did we chose the lowest mountain top to set up camp. Aren’t we setting ourselves up as targets? If the enemies attack from all four sides through a surprise attack, it would be very easy for them to finish us off."

General Manager Su only smiled lightly and he looked at Qin Wushuang with a thoughtful look. Apparently, he felt somewhat discontent regarding how Qin Wushuang had exposed this problem.

Only, his show of dissatisfaction did not seem extreme.

"General Manager Su, don’t just smile. The words of kid from the Wu family makes sense." That Mr. Ji with the grey hair also agreed.

At this moment, the man in black next to General Manager Su said: "Everyone, remember the rules. You only need to execute your orders. General Manager Su is the leader of this team. You all only need to carry out your orders unconditionally. Those who defy will be killed without mercy!"

After he had finished, he did not forget to emphasize it: "This is the rule set by Commander Chen!"

Qin Wushuang only smiled lightly and did not argue back. However, Bao Bao whispered: "We only made a suggestion and it should be a different business than defying orders, right? The rules said to not defy, and it did not mention being forbidden from making suggestion."

"Ha ha, this junior brother is right."

General Manager Su put on a light expression as if he had turned a deaf ear to their words. He flicked his sleeves and said: "Everyone, just set up camp and rest well. This is the order for tonight, and you will only need to carry it out!"

After he had finished speaking, suddenly, his tone changed direction and became extremely stern: "Those who defy the order, kill!"

General Manager Su had always been cultured and refined. Presently, he had revealed all his power and towering aura like an enraged ram!

When he spoke these words, of course everyone would not seek trouble and did not speak anymore. Despite feeling unwilling inwardly, each of them returned to their tent to rest.

...

Inside the giant castle of the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan, almost all the elite warrior of the clan had gathered together. At the highest place of the hall, there sat a middle-aged with a magnificent appearance. His pair of double-edged sword-like eyebrows had penetrated deeply into his temples and made him appear thriving and vigorous. This person was the Patriarch of the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan--Qin Bolong.

Below the Patriarch sat his assistant and younger brother, Qin Zhonglong.

These two people were known as the two major giants in the current Hundred Leaf Qin Clan. They were both elite warriors at the Refined Void Martial Stage!

Besides them, there were six chairs in rows on the left and right. There were people sitting in them and they were the six major Elders at the Refined Void Martial Stage. These eight people formed the core of the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan.

Clearly, each of the remaining people in the Qin Clan had extraordinary identities. Those disciples of the Qin Clan who could show up here would have a unique position among the clan.

Currently, everyone’s expression appeared grave as they faced the impending life and death situation.

"We just received report from our scout, the enemy has already arrived at the Duck Beak Mountain. They have already set up camp there. The leader of this group of enemy is at the Transformation Void martial Stage! And among the team, there are a few elite warriors at the Refined Void Martial Stage!"

Qin Bolong spoke with a solemn tone and shared the information with everyone.

Instantly, that Head Elder frowned: "Duck Beak Mountain? Are they mad? The Duck Beak Mountain is in the lowest mountain in the middle of all the surrounding area, are they not afraid of us surrounding them?"

However, Qin Zhonglong shook his head: "This is their little trick. I think they have set up camp deliberately at the Duck Beak Mountain as they know the possibility of getting attacked from the surrounding area, being at a lower ground. For sure, they did this because they have secure knowledge in their support and are trying to lure us into a trap. Unless their leader is brainless, who else would choose to pick that Duck Beak Mountain to set up camp?"

Qin Zhonglong’s analysis had received everyone else’s recognition. All those elders nodded.

Patriarch Qin Bolong gave a long sigh: "Zhonglong’s words make sense. I am afraid that their people have concealed themselves on the two sides of that Duck Beak Mountain. If we attack recklessly, we would fall into their trap. In fact, this is not a wise trick! If they think that they could use this little trick to lure us into attacking them, they would have greatly underestimated us!"

Qin Zhonglong nodded: "Patriarch, there can never be too much deception in war. What they did seems like a little trick, however it could be that this little trick is a trap within a trap!"

"A trap within a trap?" All those other Elders looked at Qin Zhonglong with surprise.

Qin Zhonglong explained with a serious tone: "Please look at it, if they had set up camp at the Duck Beak Mountain purely with the intention of luring us into attacking, this would appear too shallow. They would know that the Qin Clan would uncover their little tricks."

"If they knew about it and still did it, then it would be worth discussing about. It’s highly possible that it might be a two layered trap! They are using the Duck Beak Mountain to draw our attention and make us hesitate about our decisions. Perhaps, their other teams are setting up an ambush on the two sides of the mountain. They would create a diversion to launch a surprise attack at our other main fortress of the Qin castle!"

"A diversion attack!" A light of urgency flashed across the eyes of Patriarch Qin Bolong.
