Chapter 771: 771、Don’t be AfraidTranslator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“About 300 of them. We don’t have any strong weapons. We are losing,” reported Song Shou grimly.
Huo Chen was expressionless as he looked upon the map.
“Bring all of them to face the enemies. Update me on everything. Remember what I’ve told you before,” his voice rang flat.
“Yes, sir!” Song Shou then picked up a weapon and called the army into a quadrilateral formation before they charged into the forest nearby.
It was nightfall. The moonlight was dim as the soldiers blended perfectly into the bushes and ledges while cautiously advancing towards the foe.
Wen He scanned the empty base as she felt something was off. She had a hunch that the one who called upon all this should be a formidable force in Golden Triangle. Perhaps the other gangs were involved.
When Huo Chen annihilated Blood Rose and nothing else really happened as the other forces were more than happy to see their enemies being wiped out. Nevertheless, it appeared that they could no longer stay still after seeing Huo Chen remaining there.
What if!
Wen He froze at her thought.
What if all of them formed an alliance against them!?
That’ll be terrifying!
Wait.
What if they had formed one way back? That’s why there was an attack! It was a signal!
Wen He, with such a wild possibility rumbling inside her head, could no longer stay calm as she stormed into the center and seized Huo Chen’s arm.
“Huo Chen! I suspect the attack was a signal! The two incidents happened in the day could be a trap just to diverge focus so that they could launch a full attack on us here! Huo Chen, please evacuate everyone here or—”
Wen He nearly tripped herself as an impact struck upon her back and her feet lost the strength to stand. Huo Chen grabbed her immediately.
It was an explosion, a thunderous explosion that shook the ground outside. The momentum pushed her to the floor.
“O-oh no…Huo Chen…”
She was right.
Huo Chen held her hand, his fingers rubbing hers as his voice rang warmly, “Don’t be afraid.”
“…”
Wen He had no idea how Huo Chen could stay calm when there was an attack.
“Sir!” A soldier marched in promptly, “A horde of nearly 5000 has been identified surrounding the base. Heavy weaponry has been spotted, including machine guns and ricochets. Our men could not hold them back. Please give an order.”
F-five thousand?
Surrounding us?
Not even an elite commander like Huo Chen could overcome this.
Wen He fell upon Huo Chen.
Guess this is it. The End.
Unlike Wen He, Huo Chen was extremely undisturbed. He did not think about the enemies but something else in the first place, “Are there any casualties among our men?”
“No, sir.”
“Good,” muttered Huo Chen as he checked his watch. He looked up into the air as he estimated the time, “Go as I arranged yesterday. You and Wu Cheng will lead two teams to depart from the west and the south. Someone will be there to lead you to their place. You and Wu Cheng *must* destroy the enemies’ base in two hours. Are there any questions?”
“No sir!”
