    However.


    After Zhan Fei left, Situ Ba’s eyes and smile turned chilly.


    On the other end, Ji Fengyan had learned quite a bit of military concepts from Yang Shun. Meanwhile, Lu Shaoqing had brought word that the few viges near the army camp had be deserted. Many people had gone off in hiding after the recent spate of demon attacks. As a result, several viges had been abandoned.


    They could send the citizens inside the camp to stay at those vacant viges.


    Ji Fengyan immediately had her men arrange for the relocation of those citizens. Before leaving the camp under the protection of the Wolf Smoke Regiment soldiers, the citizens once again expressed their gratitude towards Ji Fengyan.


    “It must have been difficult to find so many viges so quickly.” Linghe chuckled as he waved at the departing crowd.


    Ji Fengyan nodded while Lu Shaoqing still looked rather perturbed.


    “Now that you mentioned it, it is rather strange. News of those viges were brought along by the Green Nightmare Army.” Lu Shaoqing looked questioningly at Ji Fengyan. The Green Nightmare Army patrolled the area surrounding the camp, and so they had a better understanding of the situation of the nearby viges.


    It was just that...


    Lu Shaoqing felt the Green Nightmare Army couldn’t possibly be so kind-hearted.


    “Uh... that’s like a weasel giving well wishes to a chicken. They must be up to no good. Who knows what evil schemes they have up their sleeves.” Linghe’s smile instantly vanished the moment the Green Nightmare Army was mentioned.


    Ji Fengyan waved it off. “Don’t think so much, just get the citizens settled in first.”


    “Yes.” Lu Shaoqing and Lu Shaoqing noddedpliantly.


    Moving those citizens was not as easy as imagined. There were quite a number of young children, women and elderly—and they could only progress at slow speeds. Moreover, they had just escaped from a dire situation and had yet to recover their full energies. Ji Fengyan had wanted to borrow a batch of war horses to speed up the process.


    However, Zhan Fei refused to allow it, insisting that war horses were the crux of the impending battle and could not be used wantonly.


    So they had to make do.


    The citizens were being split up and sent to three viges. There were not enough Wolf Smoke Regiment soldiers to cover all the batches, and Yang Shun had kindly allocated 10,000 of his best men help in the relocation. The entire process dragged on for three to four days before being finallypleted.


    After sending off thest batch of citizens, Ji Fengyan finally rxed.


    But...


    Ji Fengyan was suddenly put in a spot as she stared at the two kids standing before her.


    “Why haven’t you gone with the others?”


    Han Xiao and Han Yu, the two brothers rescued by Ji Fengyan earlier, were standing stiffly before her. Thest team had already left 12 hours ago, and Ji Fengyan had just discovered the brothers hiding inside the camp.


    “General, we don’t want to leave. We want to stay here.” The older Han Xiao stood up straight before Ji Fengyan. His exquisite little face was full of determination.


    Ji Fengyan nearlyughed out loud at his grave expression.


    “Stay here? What are you two rascals nning to do in the army camp? y with mud?”


    The shy children turned red at Ji Fengyan’s teasing tone. But they remained resolute.


    “General, you said you will let us stay on in your regiment and be your soldiers. We also want to battle demons.” Han Xiao said seriously as Han Yu nodded timidly.
