SFS Chapter 431 Traitor
Chapter 431 Traitor
To the north of Anemone City, the former camp of the eldest prince.
The Third Prince was having breakfast with Master Liao when a guard suddenly came in and reported: "Third Prince, a large group of people are suddenly moving towards the camp. It should be the First Prince bringing people here!"
The chicken and shrimp porridge in the third prince's hand suddenly lost its flavor. He put down the spoon, wiped his mouth carelessly, and asked anxiously: "How many people are there on the other side?"
The guard quickly replied: "About 5,000 people."
Master Liao was gnawing on a chicken leg, wondering, aren't there about 4,000 people in total of the Navy No. 2 and the alien soldiers led by Wen Qiao and Sanya?
Could it be that the person who came was not Wen Qiao, but the eldest prince's people?
【@Master Liao: Sister Wen, are you near the camp now? The soldiers on my side reported that there are 5,000 people advancing towards the camp, but the number does not match yours. 】
[@Wen Qiao: The four thousand people you mentioned should be those sent by the eldest prince. Our sentinels immediately informed me after discovering their movements. I am now leading people to ambush near the camp.]
[@Master Liao: Are you sure you can take it down? Do you need me to ask the Third Prince to bring some people over for support?]
[@Wen Qiao: Give me some time. Just have the Third Prince's men guard the camp and don't act rashly.]
If Wen Qiao said so, then it was basically a sure thing, and Master Liao could continue to eat the chicken leg with peace of mind.
"Five thousand people?"
Sheng Qingyun turned around and asked the deputy general standing beside him: "When will our reinforcements arrive?"
Sheng Qingyun began to consider whether the thousand people in his camp could hold on.
Although the food and fodder reserves in the eldest prince's camp that can supply tens of thousands of soldiers for eight days are really impressive, it depends on whether you have the strength to defend it. Otherwise, you will lose both the lady and the soldiers.
The deputy general lowered his head and replied: "It will probably take another hour or two..."
Although the Third Prince had 15,000 reinforcements, their speed would be slow due to the large number of people. Moreover, the strength of the troops under the Third Prince was far inferior to that of the First Prince, so he could only win by quantity.
Sheng Qingyun panicked immediately. Although his master had told him not to panic, he was still worried: "What do you mean it will take another hour or two? Even if we have more people, what's the use if the reinforcements come late!"
Sheng Qingyun snatched the chicken leg from Master Liao's hand and said, "Master, don't eat it yet. I will send a team of elite soldiers to escort you out. You run first."
Master Liao’s chicken leg was snatched away, so he clenched his fist, stood on tiptoe and hit the Third Prince’s head hard.
Sheng Qingyun lost his temper after being beaten. He rubbed his head helplessly: "Hey, Master, why did you hit me? I did this for your safety."
Master Liao sighed with a mature look, "Didn't I tell you? Be patient. How can you practice in secret like this?"
His chubby face turned stern: "Don't you believe in your master's ability?"
Seeing that Master Liao was about to get angry, Sheng Qingyun quickly said, "Believe it, I believe it."
Master Liao folded his arms and said, "Then listen to me. Guard the camp, wait and see, and wait for things to turn around."
He turned to the deputy general and the guards and said, "Then let's stay put for now and keep an eye on the movements around the camp."
The deputy general and the guards witnessed that the Third Prince actually obeyed the orders of a child who was less than three years old. Even though the enemy was at the gates of the city, the Third Prince did not make any move and let the child command him.
Both of them were nervous and they saw despair in each other's eyes. Now they could only pray for reinforcements to arrive soon, otherwise they would become cannon fodder.
After the two men took the order down, the soldiers in the barracks were all in panic and nervous.
Someone couldn't help but complain: "I heard that the Third Prince listened to that child who was less than three years old and asked us to stay in the camp. This is simply a joke!"
As soon as this was said, several captains immediately agreed: "I think the Third Prince has gone astray in his cultivation and is getting more and more crazy. I regret having joined the Third Prince in the first place."
"That's not something you can say. We just need to follow the Third Prince's orders. He is not as arrogant and unscrupulous as the First Prince and the Second Princess. I believe he will not treat us as cannon fodder."
Just as everyone was arguing, a guard suddenly came running over in a hurry.
"The latest situation is that another strange force has appeared! It looks like there are about 4,000 people, and they are fighting with the 5,000 people of the eldest prince!"
Upon hearing this unexpected news, the soldiers who were still indignant were stunned.
"Are they our reinforcements?"
——"No, judging from their attire and fighting style, they don't look like our people at all."
The soldier who spread the news described it vividly: "I heard from the sentry that the four thousand men were very strong. One man could fight three, and they worked together very well. Every move they made was aimed at the vital points of the eldest prince's men, and they knocked down a large number of them in one go! It was so terrifying!"
Listening to this man's description, the soldiers all got goose bumps.
I haven't heard that the Third Prince has such powerful soldiers under his command?
"After they kill the eldest prince and his gang, will we be their next target? Are they also coming for the food and ammunition in the camp?"
"I don't know. Considering the current situation, we should just sit back and watch."
"Wait, I heard from the deputy general that the child next to the third prince said that there would be a turning point. Could this be the turning point he mentioned? Is that child really a child prodigy who can predict the future?"
"Let's wait and see. After they have dealt with the eldest prince's men, they will probably reveal their true colors."
The third prince also learned the news that a third force had emerged.
Hearing this, he looked at Master Liao in surprise: "Master, what is going on? Did you invite this third party to help me? How did you get to know them?"
Master Liao drank milk leisurely and said, "I'll introduce you to others when they come."
He looked at the message on the group chat page, and his tone suddenly became serious: "There is a more urgent matter right now."
Sheng Qingyun also became nervous: "Master, what's wrong?"
"After the eldest prince withdrew his troops from Aegean City, he did not lead his men back to the camp, but headed towards the rain forest in the east."
"Of his 1 reinforcements, only have arrived. This means that the remaining may have gone to the rain forest in the east to join the Crown Prince."
"The question is, the eldest prince must have guessed that you also sent reinforcements, and there are quite a few of them. But how dare he allow 5,000 people to come and take back the camp?"
"Master, are you saying..."
Sheng Qingyun frowned: "The eldest prince is very familiar with our situation now. He knows that our reinforcements will not arrive in a short time, and there are not many people stationed in the camp?"
Master Liao nodded. When this disciple was not crazy, his brain was quite useful. "Yes, this means that there is a traitor to the Crown Prince among your people."
