The man made a gesture, and the Underworld Soldiers in the pouring rain followed him step by step as he left.
Yuwen Qi and the others watched the slowly retreating Underworld Soldiers in disarray and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At last... it rained.
But at the sa ti, this river embanknt was also their last card.
When the Underworld Soldiers co again, they will have no other solutions.
Yes, this was their final trap; if the city wall couldn’t hold, they would blow up the river embanknt and let the waters of the North-South River rush down.
"If only this rain had co sooner," the One-ard Uncle lanted sowhat regretfully.
If it had rained earlier, they might have been able to keep their last card.
"We can’t say it like that. If it hadn’t rained at all, or if the Underworld Soldiers had truly pursued us, we’d be in real trouble."
After all, the village was already in sight. If the Underworld Soldiers didn’t charge at them but sneaked into the village, even just one would be a disaster.
It could multiply, one becos two, two becos three, and three becos countless.
"Watch along the river for any Underworld Soldiers washed ashore by the river water, and make sure to leave no survivors," Yuwen Qi instructed.
Having just struggled back from the brink of death, the Black Dragon Army nodded in unison. They got up, reford their ranks, and started searching along the river embanknt.
As for Yuwen Qi and the La Man Uncle, they exchanged a glance and began a night eting.
This was their first official confrontation with the Underworld Soldiers, and there was much experience to be learned.
Thanks to this tily rain, it bought them so ti.
The people returned to the main tent, barely having ti to change clothes, as they discussed while eating sothing warm.
"Overall, the traps set by the three sergeants were quite effective; at least we held on for three days."
Although they suffered losses and even had to use their final card, it was better than total annihilation.
"To be honest, those black-haired monsters are truly terrifying. Rather than calling them Underworld Soldiers, they’re like living dead, drought demons!"
"I’m afraid these are the true Poisoned n, and those with white hair were just low-level pawns."
"A few Gu people managed to crush us and even forced us to use our last card. Such destructive power is truly daunting."
"What should be our next move?"
Now that the city wall is gone, the battlefield outside the city naturally is gone too.
Although it seems like they blocked the Underworld Soldiers, in reality, the other side swallowed all the territory outside the city walls.
"When the rain stops, and the river recedes, I’m afraid we’ll have a hard battle to fight."
At this point, everyone fell silent.
Dealing with those Underworld Soldiers already made their heads spin, and those few terrifying black-haired Gu people overwheld them in no ti. It’s hard to imagine what prolonged battles with them will be like once the weather clears.
"I suppose we can only co up with sothing related to the water strategy."
For now, everyone only hopes that this rain never stops, and this feeling is exceptionally urgent.
But they also know this is temporary; sooner or later, they will have to face it.
The three senior brothers, including the La Man Uncle, racked their brains for a solution. Yuwen Qi, unable to help, could only coordinate the soldiers, reassemble the remaining troops, set a few shifts for patrolling posts, and let those without tasks rest and restore themselves to peak condition.
However, whether it was due to the Water of Flora or not, everyone felt much more robust than before. At least now, they were very spirited, with no sense of exhaustion at all.
