The Brown Army did not start revolting just because of the rain.
Perhaps the Frenzy Rain had provoked the militia into joining the revolution, destroying the city, and killing innocent civilians.
However, the leaders and the army of the Brown Rebels must have been planning for it for a long ti.
Their attempt to kidnap Sancha, the daughter of an important official tied to the Federation’s economy, was obviously part of their preparations for the war.
The Brown Army had co prepared. The Federation’s army might seem huge, but the number of soldiers it could gather in such a short ti was limited.
Even if they managed to reclaim Banlo City, could they really defeat the Brown Army at the Scorching River?
The Brown Army had obviously taken Half-Ridge Mountain City as their base.. They had crossed the Scorching River to invade Banlo City.
The Federation’s army had arrived too late. It would be difficult for them to drive the Brown Army back now!
———
Mo Fan’s trio was planning to blend into the Federation’s army.
If the Federation’s army could drive the Brown Army back to the other side of the Scorching River, they would be able to take down Wu Ku, who could not afford to relocate himself right now. However, if the Federation’s army lost the battle, Wu Ku would be unreachable.
The rain would then last for at least another half a month!
Mo Fan had thought they could weave through the battlefield by abusing their Super Magic and avoid the battle, then take down Wu Ku.
Unfortunately, things were not as simple as he thought. He still had to involve himself in the terrifying war.
Zhao Manyan had the sa worry.
Once they were stuck in the war, even Super Mages might die there, and at a surprisingly high rate.
He was utterly confused why Mo Fan and Mu Bai did not hesitate when they planned to join the Federation’s army!
——
“Do our uniforms have any stars or badges?” Mo Fan suddenly asked.
He was not going to back away once he had decided on his course of action.
“Those with high ranks have records in the system. You should be glad that I managed to find a few uniforms for the Federation’s army. Were you thinking of disguising yourself as a general?” Zhao Manyan snickered.
“Oh.”
Currently, they were three glorious little recruits for the Federation’s army!
“For the Federation!” Mo Fan reached out his hand and played his role.
“I would rather yell ‘For the tribe!’ or sothing. Let’s agree on sothing before we go any further. If we are surrounded by another regint, we should do our best to stay alive. I don’t mind sacrificing my life for my country, but I have no intention of sacrificing my life for this sh**** country and being buried in a foreign land!” Zhao Manyan declared.
“We are going to blend into the Federation’s army. Why would we be surrounded again?” Mo Fan wondered.
“What should we do now?” Mu Bai was confused.
Mo Fan was just about to say sothing when he heard loud marching on the puddles behind him. It sounded rather intimidating.
“You three dumbwits, are you hiding behind a bus because you are scared like sissies? Go to your positions at once! We will be charging at those scumbags’ barricades in ten minutes! I’ll kill you right now if you are thinking of deserting the war!” a soldier who was built like a chimpanzee yelled at them. His voice echoed across the street like a tyrant.
“We were chasing after a few militian, but they disappeared like mice,” Mo Fan quickly replied.
“Militia? Why did you bother wasting your ti on them? Go back to your squad. We’ll kill every single one of those scum!” the captain yelled at him.
“Affirmative!” Mo Fan mimicked the soldiers of the Federation’s army and saluted in an awkward manner.
The three quickly ran toward the assault troop in the brigade.
“We’ll just pretend to be soldiers for now and wait until they reclaim Banlo City,” Mo Fan told Mu Bai.
“Alright,” Mu Bai was a little impatient, yet he knew he would only get himself killed if they tried to force their way through the battlefield.
They imdiately stood behind the assault troop.
The Black Chimpanzee guy ca over and inspected them. “Asians?” Black Chimpanzee asked them.
“Yes.”
“Why have I never seen you before?” Black Chimpanzee demanded with a hostile expression.
“We are students of the Aorus Sacred Institute’s branch in Lei City. We are new recruits!” Zhao Manyan proclaid. He took out the badge of the Aorus Sacred Institute to prove their identities.
The Aorus Sacred Institute seed to have sided with the Federation, so it was fine showing their student badges.
“Ah, the branch in Lei City, that good-for-nothing institute that bribes the Aorus Sacred Institute’s recruiting departnt with money every year? Stop claiming you are from the Aorus Sacred Institute. You are nothing like their students!” a sergeant in the troop snarled.
“You’re right. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be just recruits now,” Zhao Manyan agreed.
“I hate Mages who keep ntioning the na of their school wherever they go. They only know to show off with their fancy yet impractical spells. Stand in your lines and go to the front once you hear the signal. I’ll execute you if you dare take a step back. Do you hear !?” The apish captain stopped suspecting them and kicked Zhao Manyan’s butt.
Mo Fan and Mu Bai quickly found a spot in the troop so they would not be kicked in the butt.
Zhao Manyan was utterly displeased.
However, he did not dare slap the apish captain and send him flying with a backhand, as he did not want to blow his cover.
——
“Damn it, how did we end up like this? Shouldn’t we at least be captains if we are joining an army?” Zhao Manyan grumbled.
“It was you who found these uniforms. Why couldn’t you find better ones?” Mo Fan rebuked him.
“By the way, what rank is Zhang Xiaohou now?” Zhao Manyan asked suddenly.
“He was a Major General the last ti I saw him. I’m not sure what his rank is now. He did leave a ssage telling he’s going on a secret mission...” Mo Fan answered.
Zhao Manyan’s face darkened. Why was his situation getting worse even after he had beco a Super Mage?
Zhang Xiaohou was a Major General! A little captain like the Black Chimpanzee would have to drop to his knees to clean Zhang Xiaohou’s boots!
And yet, that Black Chimpanzee was ordering Zhao Manyan around like a dog. He had even kicked him in the a**. It f**king hurt!
——
“Pay attention, focus!
“You will see a bridge once you cross the building in front!
“The bridge is the line of boundary between the two armies. You are going to charge at it when the signal is given!
“Do you understand? You can only go forward!”
Black Chimpanzee walked back and forth in front of the troop, giving the soldiers a final speech prior to the battle.
“I’ll kill you if I see the slightest hesitation from you!” the apish captain yelled at them.
“Yes, sir!”
The assault troop had a hundred soldiers. They were all Basic Mages.
They might not be cannon fodder in the war, but they were only useful for blocking bullets for the main forces behind them!
