The night sky of the Cloud Kingdom was dotted with stars.
Even without moonlight, one could see far by the starlight.
In the sky, True Monarch Yun Shang watched a convoy of carriages. The convoy used draft horses, capture level 3, exclusive military pack beasts of the Northern Allied Army.
The convoy was not large, about five or six carts, moving silently and with strict discipline.
"Convoy, target Yu Town."
"It seems Bo Gang is in this convoy."
"With this horsepower, it will only take three hours to reach Yu Town."
"How can it be so fast? According to the route calculation, it should take at least 30 hours."
"Could it be that the convoy escorting Bo Gang had already departed before we exchanged information?"
After a moment of calculation, True Monarch Yun Shang transcribed the information he knew onto a bee.
[Magnetic Bullet Bee]
[Capture Level: 9]
[Description: A bee with extremely fast flight speed, capable of using the hive's magnetic field for positioning, and can find its way home from very far away. Low edible value, generally used for information transmission.]
True Monarch Yun Shang spread his hand, and the struggling bullet bee shot out, disappearing without a trace in a zig-zag.
...
Feixiao Army.
The unit led by Flying General Makabaka.
Do not be misled by its name; this is not a simple rapid mobile force. It possesses the Cloud Kingdom's finest armor, weaponry, crossbows, catapults, war chariots, and barges, making it an extremely elite and versatile army.
At this moment, the Feixiao Army was on high alert, with dozens of catapults ready.
These catapults were made from tough materials from the Heavenly Bamboo Sea, with extremely high range.
They launched packets of nitro sea urchins.
The core of these sea urchins was filled with compressed nitroglycerin. Upon severe impact, they would explode, and the scattered sea urchin spines were poisonous, with a considerable kill radius.
"Will these weapons accidentally injure Commander Bo Gang?"
"You think too little of demons. These things are not even enough to tickle Bo Gang."
At this moment.
Makabaka was reading in his military tent.
A attendant ran in quickly, holding a bee, "General, urgent report!"
Makabaka took the bullet bee and frowned at the message on it.
"So... fast."
"The Golden and Silver Brothers and the Bloodhounds are still on their way..."
Given Bo Gang's status, the escort must be exceptionally grand, with many experts.
The Feixiao Army was not weak, with dozens of blade masters alone. But these were all painstakingly gathered by Makabaka. To use their lives to pile up war merits... is to abandon the fundamental for the superficial.
We must fight, but not blindly.
What should be done...
"Issue an order: the troops are to assemble and launch a strong assault on the rebel forces in Yu Town!"
The attendant was startled, "Assault Yu Town?"
"Indeed. According to intelligence, Yu Town is filled with wounded and sick, as well as many high-ranking officials of the Allied Army."
"As long as we capture Yu Town within two hours and reset the city defenses, we can use the terrain to counter the escorting force."
"The escorting force has traveled a long distance and lacks supplies. Once they lose Yu Town as a foothold, they will be like rootless duckweed. As long as we continuously harass them, we can defeat them at a very low cost!"
Makabaka was not only proficient in formations but also cared for his soldiers like his own children.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to assemble the Feixiao Army, the trump card of the King of the Cloud Kingdom!
...
Yu Town, Northern Allied Army Camp.
The aroma of food filled the sky...
Since Zhang Wei brought enough food, he ordered the daily rations to be adjusted.
The food supply increased by more than three times!
The supplies included a large amount of animal and vegetable oils, paired with the Cloud Kingdom's abundant vegetables, they made stir-fries, vegetable roasts, and other dishes, which had a unique flavor.
With the guidance of Zhang Wei, more than 200 chefs also improved their culinary skills to varying degrees. It could be said that the meal standards of the Yu Town Allied Army had risen by more than one level.
Benefiting from Zhang Wei.
Now, in Yu Town, there were almost no seriously injured soldiers.
Only over two thousand individuals with missing limbs were waiting in line for transplants.
In the large tent.
The fully recovered Lang Tu walked in and bowed deeply to Mo Du and Zhang Wei.
"Madam Speaker, I apologize for my disrespectful remarks the other day."
"Thank you very much to Chef Zhang Wei and Doctor Qiu En for your treatment; you saved my life."
Although Lang Tu was a rough fellow, he knew how difficult it was to save him given his injuries.
He had thought for a long time to come up with these two eloquent phrases.
Mo Du smiled lightly, "General Lang Tu, there's no need to be so polite. You saved us the day before yesterday as well, so we're even."
"That won't do! I must pay the nutritional fees!"
"I'm the leader of Wolf Valley, am I afraid I don't have money?"
Lang Tu glared, speaking with great confidence.
Mo Du glanced at Zhang Wei, not daring to agree casually.
Zhang Wei thought for a moment and said, "I'm not very interested in money. If General Lang Tu has any rare ingredients, I would be very willing to accept them."
Lang Tu laughed wildly, "Rare ingredients?"
"If you're talking about other things, our Wolf Valley is a production base for high-end meat in the north! Venison, horse meat, donkey meat, beef, lamb... we have it all!"
"I wouldn't dare to boast about other things, but there's no better source of meat in the entire north than Wolf Valley! When the war is over, please visit Wolf Valley, and I'll make sure you're well taken care of!"
"Oh, right, besides having many animals, Wolf Valley is also famous for its hot springs. The renowned Sour Vinegar Spring can sterilize and clean, and promote blood circulation and reduce swelling. And it's also... mixed bathing~"
As he spoke, a rare lecherous look appeared on Lang Tu's honest, square face.
Zhang Wei was very tempted.
Ahem...
He meant the meat!
Mixed bathing was too strange.
Zhang Wei changed the subject, "Right, how is your injury?"
Lang Tu clenched his fist, his sturdy muscles straining his shirt.
At this moment, Lang Tu's body was peculiar. Part of his skin was dark and rough, with sparse, long black body hair.
Another part of his skin was fair, tender, and smooth, like a baby's.
The skeletal structure was now similar to that of a normal person. His sunken chest, due to the missing ribs, had also recovered.
"Thanks to your food being so delicious, how else could I have recovered so quickly!"
"Look, except for the newly grown skin that's like a woman's, I've almost fully recovered!"
Zhang Wei nodded, "Is there any loss in strength?"
"Hey, the newly grown limbs are very useful, it just takes some time to adapt. As for combat power... it's at least seventy percent of my former self. Give me a few months, and I'll be back to normal."
While they were chatting happily.
A messenger ran in flustered, "Emergency military dispatch! Emergency military dispatch!"
"A large army of mutated humans is moving rapidly towards us. Their equipment is neat, and it looks like they are coming to attack us!"
Mo Du stood up from the hospital bed, "What kind of unit is it, and how many people?"
"After translating the banners, the designation should be the Feixiao Army, with a number between three thousand and five thousand!"
Upon hearing this, before Zhang Wei and Mo Du could react, Lang Tu's eyes turned red first.
He gritted out a few words from between his teeth, "Fei... Xiao... Army... I will never rest until I am at odds with you!"
