Chapter 508: Chapter 122 Don’t Rush (1/3)

"Don’t be in such a hurry."

To Han Hao’s anxiety and urging, the True Demon Envoy calmly said, "Although Ice Dragon has accumulated considerable strength, it is not yet time to act. Wait a bit longer."

"Wait? More waiting? We cooperated with you, sacrificed the whole city of Yujiang, and even provided all the Earth Pulse Qi to you, and you say we can’t make even one move and can only defend — Is my cavalry meant just to stay home?"

How could Han Hao not be anxious: "Not to mention the supply lines, have you not noticed that the military preparedness of Linjiang City is getting stronger and stronger?"

He came with superior troops, planning to crush the surroundings of Linjiang City in just a few days, but they were ambushed by the Divine Mandate at the start, realizing that the opponent was a tough nut to crack.

Perhaps An Jing’s Fate Pattern is related to artifact crafting; in less than a month, he rapidly forged many new Magical Solders, reportedly from the Heavenly Mechanism Creation of Manifest Saint True Monarch, Mingguang Dust, which disrupted their supply lines tremendously.

Facing such an enemy, who grows stronger with each battle and constantly upgrades their military readiness, what right does he have to drag things out?

Truthfully, if it weren’t for the mission from the Taiming Sect behind him, Han Hao would have turned around and gone home already.

The Iron Li people came to Da Chen to fight for land, to seek survival amidst the Frost Calamity, not to engage in bloody battles with the people of Da Chen!

This troop of Iron Cavalry, battle-hardened, could be slightly split up back in their tribe to serve as instructors, teaching the next generation of Iron Li Martial Artists and Martial Army... These experienced elite warriors should absolutely not be wasted here!

But Han Hao is also very aware, the Five Sects of Dust Li don’t care about these things.

Their mission must be completed, the future of the hundreds of Dust Li tribes doesn’t concern them.

Not to mention the current ’True Demon Envoy.’

Han Hao gazed at this shadowy figure, dark as a ghost.

The Sects are secretly collaborating with the True Demon Sect... although it’s to fight against Da Chen, it still feels like a huge breach of moral boundaries!

"As long as you can let Ice Dragon take action, disrupt the Martial Army’s camp, I’m confident I can win!"

Thinking thus in his heart, Han Hao dared not show even a hint of this; he could only display an eager, battle-seeking attitude, hoping to finish this soon. He had already earned enough merit, not wanting to get dragged into such a senseless battle anymore.

"Please be patient."

Although a True Demon Envoy, this shadowy figure surprisingly spoke rather courteously: "Didn’t I already show you the power of Ice Dragon recently? Besides defending Earth Pulse, it can reinforce the walls with frost, making them impregnable, and also grant your soldiers ’Frost Armor’ and ’Short-range Ice Escape.’"

"It is still incomplete, using Divine Skills on the front lines would only expose weaknesses to the enemy."

"Isn’t that enough?"

What Han Hao couldn’t understand the most was this; he knew the Divine Skills granted by Ice Dragon to his troops were strong, which was why he couldn’t understand why not seize the opportunity: "Just have Ice Dragon follow the troops, let my cavalry use Ice Escape to bypass those Da Chen Martial Army, and strike Linjiang City by surprise—it could easily achieve the goal!"

"Even if An Jing does have Martial Meridian strength and Protected by Divine Skills, he would definitely not be able to withstand our Martial Army’s charge... plus you, could completely capture him!"

"It’s not the time yet."

But the envoy of the True Demon spoke gently yet still firmly shook his head: "The enemy has many cards up their sleeve as well. Just in these past few days, what you’ve seen includes Iron Kite and rockets. We’ve collected the remaining fragments, all of which are high-quality alloys that we could not smelt before."

"Is his Divine Mandate that of Gold Star Taibai, or someone else? Does he have someone backing him? The Martial Army Supervisor of Da Chen was killed, yet Shenjing Prefecture Government showed no reaction, he must definitely have someone backing him..."

"Is it the Virtuous King or Gu Yunzhi? Or perhaps an elder from the Bright Mirror Sect? Could they possibly be in the vicinity?"

In order to appease Han Hao, this envoy of the True Demon also disclosed the true thoughts behind their actions: "The prosperity of Divine Mandate and Destiny is such that it cannot be defeated merely with some tactical strategies. It has been too long since it emerged, and you have all forgotten that Divine Mandate is sent down during the cosmic calamity, to capture and defeat him, one must approach from the three aspects of Heavenly Timing, geographical advantage, and human harmony."

"The Frost Calamity is the Heavenly Timing; the Ice Dragon altering the Earth Vein is to compete for the geographical advantage. What we need to do now is to wait, wait for the deeper internal struggles to strip the ’human harmony’ from this Divine Mandate, only then can you and I confront this Divine Mandate directly."

"Iron Li junior officer, this war is not just about the battlefront you see before you, it continues on the other side, in the Extreme North Icefield, in the demon lands of Hanhai, within the halls of Da Chen."

"I understand." Hearing this, Han Hao calmed down: "Within the halls? Could it be..."

"Inside Da Chen, we also have collaborators." The True Demon Envoy subtly nodded: "They are also very interested in a Divine Mandate like An Jing."

"However, similarly, there are spies within your ranks. Every time, they can clearly locate your supply lines from Linjiang City, this is not something a scout can achieve."

Han Hao did not respond; he was of course aware of this issue, but it was an unavoidable circumstance. Iron Li was not a unified entity, to allow his Iron Cavalry to advance deep into Da Chen, too many auxiliary tribes were involved, no one could guarantee that there would be no leaks.

"So, endure it a bit longer."

Finally, the True Demon Envoy said: "You are short of provisions, and they are as well lacking provisions, in this aspect, you Iron Li people will definitely be able to endure longer than those people from Da Chen."

"Alright." Han Hao took a deep breath, gritting his teeth: "Then I will endure!"

Several days later, multiple balloons floated in from the direction of Linjiang City, set down by the guarding Iron Li soldiers, dispersing many leaflets, which contained photos of An Jing standing on crates distributing potatoes and everyone celebrating cooking delicious food, and rows of rocket launchers lined up on city walls.

In addition to this, the balloon basket contained many heart-piercing words.

[I’m eating potatoes, what about you?]

[A thousand troops without provisions, ultimately perish in the cold wind of Frost Calamity]

[No way, no way, surely no one really has nothing to eat because their supply line was cut?]

[You suffer unbearably at the front lines, so do your families, right? After you die, your families will still need to endure hunger and work exhaustedly. Please ask yourselves, is this war really necessary?]

[Turn back home, there’s still a bowl of hot soup; shed your armor to surrender, and you won’t lose a meal to eat]

These photos and leaflets were delivered to the Iron Li’s big tent, and after a while, an extremely suppressed roar came from within: "Aaargh!!!"

Elsewhere, Linjiang City.

"Unbelievable, those Iron Li people really can endure, huh?"

On the city wall, An Jing raised a binocular with one hand to gaze at the forbidden Yujiang City in the distance, while holding a roasted potato in the other hand, muttering to himself while taking a bite: "How can they endure so much? If it were me, I’d have attacked by now!"

"This is too turtle-like, are they really cavalry?"
