At that moment, Cao Yi shouted fiercely, "Dark Wing Camp soldiers, fall in line now, Commander Cheng is your commander now."
But the response he received was still none.
Cao Yi, with a pale face, looked towards Cheng Yusu and spoke softly, "Commander Cheng, the Dark Wing Camp has always been the covert force of Beigong Commander, they only follow the orders of Beigong Commander and the Dark Wing Commander, our commands are useless."
"Yes, even if the Dark Wings are dead, it won’t work," Wen Jun also stepped forward and said.
Cheng Yusu glared at them and said again, "Who are the members of the Dark Wing Camp, I don’t believe none of you know, point out those you know to me."
Suddenly, Cao Yi and a few Vice Commanders dropped to one knee, shaking their heads repeatedly.
"Commander Cheng, we really don’t know anyone, the Beigong Commander never let us interfere with the affairs of the Dark Wing Camp."
"Right, before Beigong Commander died, he handed over the Long Night Black Burning Army to Dark Wings, and Dark Wings didn’t tell any of us about the matters of the Dark Wing Camp. We only know that the Dark Wing Camp is hidden within the Long Night Army."
"Commander Cheng, we really can’t point out even a single person."
The Vice Commanders trembled slightly all over, continuously defending themselves.
Cheng Yusu, however, was not so ready to believe them, a terrifying intent to kill loomed over them.
But deep inside, the people were not scared at all, they knew very well Cheng Yusu now dared not act against them, wanting to completely control the Long Night Black Burning Army wasn’t something achievable just because the Beigong Commander and Dark Wings were dead.
The presence of those Vice Commanders was also needed, otherwise, it would be complete chaos.
Otherwise, they would only be eliminated by Lu Lungan.
Upon realizing this, Cheng Yusu viciously said, "Do you know the consequences of deceiving me?"
Upon hearing this, Cao Yi and the others repeatedly assured, they had no intention of deceiving now, subtly bringing up their families to gain Cheng Yusu’s trust, who else could they align with if not Cheng Yusu now?
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yusu’s expression slightly relaxed.
He did not know that Sikong Jing was the Dark Wings, and for Cao Yi and the others, there was no turning back now.
If they did not align with Your Highness, their entire families would undoubtedly perish.
Cheng Yusu believed that by killing Dark Wings, he had completely controlled the vice commanders.
At that time, Wen Jun suddenly said, "That’s right, there is someone else who can control the Dark Wing Camp; his command will certainly be effective."
As soon as he said this, Cao Yi and others widened their eyes, Wen Jun couldn’t possibly be thinking of betraying, could he?
Could he be pointing out... Ning Jingjing?
"Who?" Cheng Yusu’s whole body trembled, staring eagerly at Wen Jun.
Wen Jun said earnestly, "It’s His Majesty; if His Majesty personally gives the order, the Dark Wing Camp will surely fall in line."
With that, suddenly, the city walls fell silent, and a cold wind howled.
Slowly, Cheng Yusu rushed in front of Wen Jun, grabbed his collar, and roared, "Are you fucking playing me?"
He was furious, having the Emperor come to Youyuan Twelve States would be outrageous.
Right now, Your Highness was controlling the communication within the Long Night Black Burning Army, preventing any contact with the Emperor.
"No, how dare I play you, Commander Cheng? I’m telling the truth," Wen Jun said.
Meanwhile, Cao Yi and others twitched their mouths, as Wen Jun also had such a pitfall side.
Finally, Cheng Yusu remembered from the intelligence that Wen Jun was an impulsive and hot-headed person and eventually, he held back.
He took a deep breath, then looked towards the group of generals, his gaze sweeping over each one.
Finally, his eyes landed on Ning Jingjing, and he said in a cold voice, "General Ning, are you friends with Sikong Jing?"
"Yes, Sikong Jing was someone I brought out of the Canglong Small Domain, but he has his own path, and I have mine... I have already refused his invitation to leave. I, Ning Jingjing, am only here to make a name for myself."
Ning Jingjing’s voice was powerful and resolute!
However, Cheng Yusu’s eyes narrowed as he said, "Well said, I will indeed give you a chance to make a name for yourself."
After speaking, he withdrew his gaze, then issued another order.
It was to have the Vice Commander and the generals regroup; he was preparing to launch a surprise attack on the War Soul Dynasty Army.
In fact, it was a probing attack, intended to test the loyalty of the Vice Commander and the generals.
Just like that, Cao Yi and the others returned to the Long Night Army, and following Cheng Yusu’s command, the army turned and marched boldly towards the direction of Netherworld State...
Slowly retracting his gaze, Cheng Yusu summoned a giant flying demon beast and mounted it, ready to observe the battle.
Then, he gritted his teeth and said, "I refuse to believe that I can’t identify where the Dark Wing Camp is. By catching a few of them, I can expose the entire Dark Wing Camp, and then I will let them know the consequences of not following my commands."
The expressions of the White Flame Army’s loyalists were distorted, their teeth gritted, as they planned to use the battlefield for observation.
They believed the Dark Wing Camp Soldiers would definitely have some distinctive characteristics compared to others.
Meanwhile, within the advancing army, Ning Jingjing quietly told the members of the 66th Army, "Remember not to use the Dark Wing Black Burning Sword. Our Dark Wing Commander has plans for us, and they will unfold soon."
One after another, the Dark Wing Soldiers knew their Commander was Sikong Jing, and they silently admonished themselves, continuing to march forward with the army.
Towards the direction of Netherworld State...
Sikong Jing then rode the Iron Bone Flying Vulture, observing the dynamics below from the cloud layer. When he saw the Long Night Army marching, a slight smile crept across his lips, and he said, "It looks like I also need to prepare in advance to welcome the Dark Wing Camp into the War Soul Dynasty."
After speaking, he directed the Iron Bone Flying Vulture to flap towards a distant place, toward a mountain.
This mountain range, known as Soul Penetration Mountain, laid not far from the territory of the War Soul Dynasty within the Youyuan Six States, teeming with demon beasts...
Just as Sikong Jing and the Iron Bone Flying Vulture left, a flying creature soared into the sky. A War Soul Dynasty Knight frowned, scanning around before saying, "I clearly saw a shadow just now. How come it’s gone?"
After stopping for a while, still seeing nothing, the Knight could only lead his mount back down through the cloud layer and landed on a giant flying beast.
He reported, "Commander Lu, I didn’t see any hidden demon beasts. It must have been our eyes playing tricks on us."
On this flying creature, it was indeed Lu Lungan and his men, and upon hearing this, they nodded and said, "The Long Night Empire Army suddenly launched an attack, and Cheng Yusu seems to have successfully taken control of the Long Night Army. Why? Have the spies reported back?"
Upon hearing this, the Knight hastily replied, "We have received reports. Dark Wings have been killed and strung up for exposure in Youye State City. Therefore, Cheng Yusu has successfully controlled the Long Night Army and launched an attack on us."
At this news, Lu Lungan was immensely shaken, flames ignited in his eyes.
"Dark Wings, actually dead!"
Lu Lungan was shocked, and simultaneously, his appreciation for talent ached, as he couldn’t help but sigh deeply.
"It’s tragic and lamentable. The Long Night Empire is really absurd. Such a battlefield prodigy was actually killed."
But that was merely a brief lament before he coldly said, "This must be a probing attack by Cheng Yusu, just trying to control the Long Night Army. Pass my orders, prepare our defenses..."
"Next, I will let Cheng Yusu know the might of Commander Lu."
