Soaring of Galaxia

Chapter 450 The Eve before the Final Battle

After General Manager Zhao left the tent, Lone glanced at Qin Wushuang. Qin Wushuang had understood the meaning as he nodded and sent his voice: "Second, you see! There was clearly another layer of meaning underneath General Manager Zhao’s words during his inspection, what kind of information was he trying to deliver?"

Lone had to admit: "They want us to not leave the tent if nothing is going on, to avoid gossipping, aren’t they telling us to not spread the news of Commander Chen going away to seek help?"

"Now, do you think Commander Chen had left or not?" Qin Wushuang asked with interest.

"No!" At this time, Lone had started to become smarter.

Qin Wushuang nodded with confidence: "Don’t be in a rush to make a conclusion. It’s not too late to make our decision after that Chen Da comes to inspect."

Lone nodded: "Alright."

"Ha ha, perhaps in Commander Chen’s viewpoint, we are undercover agents from the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan and we would be more useful to them. And now, I also feel that the more they treat us as undercover agents, the happier I am."

These words made Lone completely confused.

"Why is that?"

"This is called beating them at their own game. The more they feel that we are undercover agents, the more they would want us to deliver the fake news back to the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan. This way, our situation would become safer. Second, would you believe me if said that even if we left in secret, they wouldn’t chase after us. They would only let us go as a careless mistake."

"I believe you." Now, to Qin Wushuang, Lone had to prostrate himself in admiration. He would believe everything Qin Wushuang said.

He was able to sustain such a calm attitude in this dragon’s lair and tiger’s cave. Not to mention other prospects, just this courage was enough to impress. Additionally, Qin Wushuang had remained calm and still dealt with a Profound stage warrior like Commander Chen.

With this mental preparation, when Chen Da came to inspect them, these two felt it easier to deal with him. Although this Chen Da was an elite warrior at the Transformation Void Martial Stage, his aura was not as strong as Commander Chen Sen. Plus Commander Chen had given strict instruction that they must not show off something deliberately nor test anything. Their goal was to make them believe that Commander Chen had headed out.

Chen Da also left after he had inspected them for a moment. However, Chen da had delivered a piece of news that from today, they would change patrols from every two hours to every hour. And each subordinate of the General Manager must participate.

This subtle change also delivered the same news—that Commander Chen had left.

If Commander Chen was not here, why would they change the patrol cycle?

However, the more they reiterated on these news without any major movements, the more firmly Qin Wushuang believed that Commander Chen was lying to them. He had set a giant trap waiting for them to fall into!

...

Inside Commander Chen’s secret tent, General Manager Zhao and Chen Da were serving him cautiously.

"How did it go? How were their performance?" Indeed, Commander Chen cared about this matter dearly.

General Manager Zhao rushed to speak: "They seemed extremely calm. They no longer had the terrified look from first day. It seems the mentality of these two brothers are excellent."

Commander Chen sneered: "Very calm?"

Chen Da also followed to speak: "They were calm. I also observed from the side that they seemed to be listening to each of my words. From their looks, they seemed to be thinking about what I said."

"Commander, I think these two are scheming something!" That General Manager He said without losing this opportunity.

A calm smile remained on Commander Chen’s face as he said: "Observe a bit more, perhaps, they are just observing for now."

"Commander, what’s our next step?" General Manager Zhao was somewhat worried. After all, these two were arranged to be his subordinates. This way, the weight of the responsibility he carried on his shoulders was not light.

"Do nothing and wait. Wait for their move first." Commander Chen gave a light smile, "I already talked about dates. If they are undercover agents, they would make a move in three days. If there are no movements within three days, regardless of them being spies or not, kill without mercy!"

"Why is that?" Chen Da was stunned. If they were to kill people, they should kill them now. Why would they wait after three days?"

"Within three days, there would be only two possibilities if they do not make any moves. The first possibility, they are not spies. The second possibility, they are spies but they have already seen through our strategies and are pretending that nothing had happened. These two possibilities have determined that their fate will be death!"

Finally, there was a trace of viciousness from the tone of Commander Chen. Inadvertently, it had exposed his ambitious and ruthless character.

"If they are not spies, it would be useless to keep them. Keeping them alive or not will not influence the general situation. Letting them disappear without a trace will not influence the morale of the forces. If they are truly spies and did not do anything in three days, it means that they have seen through my tactic. Such figures have profound mind and it would be calamity to keep them around us. Using them would too great of a risk. In the worst case, we would be the ones getting used by them."

Chen Da nodded thoughtfully as he had finally understood.

"Remember, for three days, don’t scrutinize them too closely and don’t test them. If they are to escape, let them!"

"Ha ha, if they escape, then most likely they had fallen into our trap!" General Manager He gave a flattering laugh, "More precisely, they would have fallen into the trap set by Commander Chen!"

The first day had passed quietly. On the morning of the next day, Qin Wushuang and Lone were arranged to go on patrol. They were in charge of patrolling the east side.

The patrolling duties was not complicated and everyone would take turn. Since it would soon be their turn, Qin Wushuang and Lone did not rest and stayed at the camp. However, Lone was somewhat anxious: "Boss, regardless if this is Commander Chen’s tactic, I feel that it would be better for us to leave here!"

Qin Wushuang said with a smile: "Who said we are going to stay here?"

"Then are we leaving now?" Lone said somewhat anxiously.

Qin Wushuang shook his head: "Now is not the time to leave. I’m guessing that if Commander Chen was here, he is definitely observing our movements in the dark. It would be more dangerous for us if we didn’t make any move. Their suspicion would get raised even more when they suspect us to be undercover agents and we didn’t make any moves. Thus, we must make some moves to make them confused!"

"What moves?" Lone said with surprise.

"We will wait for Bao Bao!" Qin Wushuang said, "Perhaps it would be tonight, or tomorrow for Bao Bao will come. Within this time, we will act as if nothing had happened."

As Qin Wushuang had expected, Bao Bao had arrived before the dawn.

"Third, you are really here!" Lone was extremely excited as he send in his voice: "There is a change in the situation!"

Bao Bao was surprised: "What happened?"

"That Commander Chen is already suspecting me and Boss." Lone said.

"What? Then what do we do? Should I use underground technique and take you guys away?" Hearing the crisis faced by Qin Wushuang, Bao Bao was also anxious.

However, Qin Wushuang remained calm as he waved his hand to get Bao Bao to control his emotions: "Bao Bao, don’t be hasty. Although they are suspicious of me and Second, currently, we are safe. They also planned to use us to deliver misinformation back to the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan. You will return and tell Hundred Leaf Qin Clan that Commander Chen must have already sent someone to seek help. Thus, the Qin Clan must make the necessary preparations. Of course, the best solution is to gain the initiative and strike first..."

"Gain the initiative by striking first?" Bao Bao and Lone were curious.

Qin Wushuang continued to talk by sending his voice: "That’s right, strike first. Go back and tell people of the Qin Clan that there is a plan, and it’s..."

Bao Bao kept nodding as he heard: "Ok, Boss, then you guys be careful. I am heading back now."

Although Bao Bao was the Gold Monkey King and possessed the bloodline of the Ancient Spiritual Monkey, after all, his current strength was only at the Refined Void Martial Stage. On his way here, he had been careful and made into Qin Wushuang’s tent by avoiding all dangers. However, when leaving here, he had received Qin Wushuang’s instruction and left behind some traces deliberately.

Immediately, these little openings were noticed by Commander Chen.

All other elite warriors at the Refined Void Martial Stage had sensed it and followed to catch him.

"Great Commander, a moment ago, there was a slight movement exhibiting traces of the earth attribute. Someone performed an underground technique."

"Yes, this person is skilled at the underground technique and his movements are almost unnoticeable."

Commander Chen smiled lightly: "Did you guys sense the direction?"

"It’s those two!"

Commander Chen laughed: "It’s those two right?"

"Report..." Someone immediately came to report, "Great Commander, those two brothers of the Wu family have left in secret during their patrol assignment!"

Commander Chen revealed a joyous expression: "They left?"

"Yes!"

The facial expression of General Manager He also experienced a violent change. He tried to ingratiate himself and asked: "Commander, should I catch them and bring them back?"

"No need!" Commander Chen said with a smile: "Bringing them back will only startle the snake in the grass. Let them go!"

"This...They had it too easy!" General Manage He seemed regretful.

"As long as they are within the castle of the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan, we shall not worry about letting them having it easy! Sooner or later we will take those two’s lives. Let their heads remain on their necks for a few more days!"

Commander Chen seemed extremely happy as he instructed: "Everyone, as the news spread out, we must make the necessary arrangements. Last time, the enemies had caught General Manager Su off guard and caused a total annihilation. This time, we must set up a giant trap and wait for them to come! To not reciprocate is to against etiquette!"

"Ha ha, Commander sure is wise!" That General Manager He kept flattering him.

"Don’t be too happy yet. Currently, this tactic is only half completed. The Hundred Leaf Qin Clan also have wise people. Before this strategy is successful, we cannot be too optimistic!"

"Yes! We will have a way as long as they would dare to come and attack!" General Manager He laughed mischievously.

"For this plan, it’s success will depend on them coming to attack us!" Commander Chen smiled lightly, "If they come out to attack, when Chen Tong comes back, he would just be in time for the clean-up battle. Even if they don’t fall into the trap, when Chen Tong is back, we will still have another way to destroy the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan!"
