It had to be said that Long Tenghai and Gao Shenghan treated Li Chengfeng and the rest very well. In this faraway place, Long Tenghai and Gao Shenghan had no intention of hiding anything. They openly transferred Li Chengfeng and his right-hand men, Zhao Xiaobao and Han Tianxing, into the supply team.
The cultivators who came with them did not dare to voice their anger. Why were they transferred to the back?
But they had no choice. Everyone was different. Who asked Li Chengfeng to save the Crown Prince?
Even without Zhao Feiyue, Long Tenghai and Gao Shenghan treated Li Chengfeng differently because he belonged to the 'Crown Prince's faction'!
Choosing sides was a core rule in politics. Li Chengfeng was attacked by the Fourth Prince for choosing sides in the Divine Capital but after he got over it, he began to enjoy the benefits and benefits of choosing sides.
While the other cultivators were worried about going to the front line, Li Chengfeng stayed at the back and watched the show.
Some were envious, some were unwilling.
Han Tianxing was one of them.
It was the third night since they arrived at Guangyuan City. They were riding on tall horses, escorting the supply carts from Guangyuan City.
The transport troops were part of the supply team. Although they were logistics troops, they were still very elite. Li Chengfeng looked at them. Although they were the rear troops, they were all dressed in light armour, with swords at their waists. Shields, longbows and quiver of arrows were all placed on the cart. If they were attacked, they could immediately retaliate.
Li Chengfeng and the rest were there to prevent the enemy from sending in knights to ambush them. Only cultivators like Li Chengfeng and the rest could fight against knights with special abilities.
Counter soldiers with arms, water with mud.
Zhao Xiaobao had never been an ambitious person. When he was transferred to be the transport officer, he willingly agreed. As long as he was with Li Chengfeng, he could go anywhere.
However, Han Tianxing was very unhappy. He kept twisting on his horse as if there was a ball of fire under his butt. It made him very uncomfortable.
The tournament was supposed to be a stage for him to make a name for himself but he was disappointed. There were so many experts here that he had no chance of making a name for himself.
However, the heavens did not disappoint those who persevered. The heavens had given them a chance to make a name for themselves in the southeastern battlefield!
As a person who grew up reading the books of sages and sages, who had never dreamed of invading a country on horseback and ruling a country on horseback?
Now that he had become a cultivator, he had to give up his dream of being an official and ruling the people. However, this didn't prevent him from seizing fame and glory on the battlefield!
A scholar who does not want to be a general is not a good cultivator.
But Han Tianxing's beautiful dream was shattered the moment he arrived!
If he wanted to make a name for himself, he had to go to the front lines!
What kind of meritorious service could he get by escorting the provisions here?
But Han Tianxing could not voice his complaint. Li Chengfeng had forcefully suppressed it, not letting him join the suicide squad to attack the Flying Warship. He could not complain either, because he knew Li Chengfeng was doing this for his own good.
But … it wasn't a good idea to keep this fire in his heart.
Xiaobao snickered as he watched Han Tianxing squirm. "What's wrong with your butt?"
Han Tianxing said exasperatedly, "Your butt is the one with blisters!"
Xiaobao giggled, "I thought you had hemorrhoids when I saw you squirming around."
Han Tianxing huffed. "Don't be so smug. You won't get any better if you sit like this for a few days."
Xiaobao knew Han Tianxing did not want to be left out so he did not try to persuade him. He knew that although Han Tianxing looked gentle and easygoing on the surface, he was a stubborn man.
He turned to look at Li Chengfeng only to see him looking at the sky with a frown. He could not help but look up too, curious. "What are you looking at, Young Master?"
Li Chengfeng looked up, stroking his green beard. "Don't you think it's strange?
It was cloudless in the day and not a single cloud could be seen in the evening. Why can't we see the moon or even a single star? "
Xiaobao and Han Tianxing both noticed this and turned to look around. As expected, there was not a single star in the night.
Xiaobao wondered, "Yeah, why aren't there any stars?
Are there clouds in the sky? "
Li Chengfeng shook his head. "I looked at the sky in the evening and there were no clouds at all. It's impossible for clouds to cover the sky so quickly.
Plus, this is the south, the moon and stars are bigger and brighter than we are in the north. It should be easier to see. "
Han Tianxing forgot his resentment and asked curiously, "Yes, why is that so?"
As they muttered, the adjutant heard them and came over with a smile. "Good to let you know, the Perfected Master of the city is casting a spell."
Li Chengfeng immediately realised. "Ah!
It's the fog of war! "
Xiaobao and Han Tianxing looked at him in confusion. Li Chengfeng smiled. "Think about it, we have to hold up torches when we're escorting food at night. If the enemy looks down from their airships, they'll be able to see what's going on."
The only thing they could see from the sky at night was the light from the fire.
The adjutant smiled. "It's also to prevent enemy airships from attacking Guangyuan City."
Li Chengfeng smiled. "That's right, using airships to bomb the food convoy is like killing a chicken with a butcher's knife."
The adjutant smiled but did not speak. Han Tianxing asked, "Then why not use the fog of war during the day?"
Li Chengfeng answered without the need for the experienced adjutant to explain, "It's simple. You can see Guangyuan City from ten thousand meters up in the sky, but when you launch your attack, we'll be able to see the airships even if there's no cloud in the sky.
The puppet country is afraid we'll attack them directly so they won't dare to attack during the day. "
The adjutant scrutinized Li Chengfeng. He was originally the chief officer of the transport team, but after Li Chengfeng's sudden appearance, he was demoted from chief to deputy. He would be lying if he said he did not have any complaints about this.
However, mortals did not fight with cultivators. Even if he had any thoughts in his heart, he could only suppress them.
Of course, he did not think much of Li Chengfeng.
However, it seemed like this guy was not a complete war idiot. He was not like some cultivators who made a big fuss and thought war was just a fight with more people.
The adjutant smiled at Li Chengfeng. "You're right, sir."
Han Tianxing was even more confused. "The airships are afraid we'll attack them?
Senior Brother, didn't you say they're our natural enemy? "
In order to suppress Han Tianxing's eagerness to kill, Li Chengfeng had to spend some time explaining to him about this black technology. It was a giant war machine.
Han Tianxing reluctantly believed Li Chengfeng's explanation but the adjutant's words made no sense.
If they're such a terrifying ruler of the sky, why would they be afraid of us attacking them?
Was this a joke?
Li Chengfeng sighed. "The reason is simple. The puppet country only has one airship and they can't afford to lose it.
That's why they're afraid of both sides. "
Han Tianxing nodded, accepting Li Chengfeng's explanation but his expression turned gloomy.
The adjutant thought that he was worried about the possible dangers along the way, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Superior. The journey from Guangyuan City to White River Valley is less than eight hundred miles. We will rest during the day and travel at night, so we won't encounter any enemies."
He did not know this was exactly why Han Tianxing was gloomy.
Before the adjutant could speak to Li Chengfeng, there was a sudden yell from the front. "Stop!
Password! "
Then, there was the sound of something tearing through the air, followed by a scream of agony!
