Chapter Fifteen Emergency Deployment

  The Rains Legion won its first battle. On the same night, Rain came to General Robert's tent under Julia's leadership.

  Inside the tent, the candle flames flickered incessantly, and Rayn's mood was also uneasy. Although he had repelled the Caesar Empire's army attack, he felt a faint sense of unease in his heart.

  As expected...

  After some gossip and small talk, they finally got down to the main topic of tonight's confidential conversation.

  "Rhein, the intentions of the Kaisar Empire's army are very clear, they want to occupy the Xiahai Pass. I have been stationed at this border for over a decade, and the Kaisar Empire's army has never dared to make any moves on the Xiahai Pass, known as the number one pass in the world. But this time is different, it's a well thought out military decision. If we can disrupt their plans, I think we can hold out until reinforcements arrive." General Robert's face was filled with smiles just a moment ago, but now his expression turned gloomy and serious, his eyes fixed intently on Rhein who looked uneasy.

  "General, the Caesar Empire's army has tens of thousands, while our army is only over ten thousand. After the intense battle to defend the city, we have less than nine thousand soldiers left. The entire border defense line stretches for hundreds of miles, and our troops are scattered all over the place. Where can we find the manpower to launch a surprise attack on the enemy's camp?" Reyn explained, his words making perfect sense. From Robert's tone, it seemed like he wanted to launch a surprise attack on the enemy's camp under the cover of night, also known as disrupting the enemy's deployment.

  "What makes you think we're planning to raid the enemy camp tonight, young lady?" General Robert exclaimed in surprise, his eyes narrowing at Julia as if he was somewhat annoyed.

  Julia was speechless, hanging her head in silence, biting her lip and occasionally rubbing her hands together.

  "General Robert, don't blame Julia, it was just my guess earlier, besides, I didn't know the army would take action tonight either?" Rayn hurriedly explained, looking at Julia who seemed a bit uneasy.

  "Good grief, I'm getting senile!" Robert exclaimed loudly, slapping his forehead in regret for his momentary lapse of speech.

  "Heh heh, General, isn't it that you've called me here in the dead of night to have me launch a nighttime raid on the enemy camp?" Rayn said, having already discerned the general's intentions through their conversation.

  "Hahaha, young man, I've been waiting for this moment! The way of war is to catch the enemy off guard and turn the tables on them. Only then can we turn defeat into victory. The Caesar Empire, with its 100,000-strong army, has been eyeing our Sea Tiger Pass covetously, eager to break through and claim victory. They never expected that we would... Hehe!" General Robert exclaimed, his white beard fluttering excitedly as he spoke, his eyes shining brightly, looking years younger.

  "I guarantee the completion of the task!" Rayn said with a serious expression, and at this time, he already had a specific plan for the night raid on the enemy army.

  Julia looked up at Raine with a dull, surprised and worried expression, then glanced at her father, sighed, and shook her head from time to time.

  In the darkness of night, a small team of soldiers quietly arrived outside the border city wall along a long rope.

  They were all dressed in black night-traveling clothes, crawling forward to the moat, hiding underwater to avoid the enemy soldiers on the floating bridge in the distance, and rushing quickly into the dense forest.

  The forest at the border of the two countries has lost its original lush greenery, and the demand for arrow shafts, firewood, etc. in the army is so great that it will become a barren land in just a few days.

  In a secluded thicket, Rayn and others were discussing specific action routes, with everyone expressing different opinions.

  The soldiers brought by Ren's nighttime operation were all his original companions, including Rus, Reed, Dakoat, Snow and others, totaling eleven people. The other four companions died in the process of defending the city.

  The fewer men, the better, especially in this kind of raid on a military camp. The fewer people there are, the safer it is. Mainly because Raylan has a particularly good understanding of these brothers who have been through thick and thin together.

  "Captain, with so many military camps of the Caesar Empire, how are we going to find those targets?" asked Rus, who had a puzzled look on his face with his thick sideburns.

  "Ruse, the grain and fodder for the horses are a big target, originally I was a hunter, hehe, finding these horses is still very confident." Dakota grinned, revealing a bit yellow and uneven teeth, hehe laughed.

  "Oh, Dakota, you're not simple at all, you've still got a trick up your sleeve. Now it's time to see what you can do." Rus said with a nod of approval, the others were also nodding, staring at Dakota in a daze, their muscular man had an unexpected talent.

  "Shh!" Reid, who was on lookout duty, sounded the alarm and everyone quickly hid.

  At this time, a black shadow quickly ran towards the position where they were located, vaguely visible all over his body. When he arrived at the position where Lain and others were located, he looked around in all directions, as if searching for something.

  "Julia?" As a special forces operative, Rain's training had honed his night vision to be exceptionally good. The scar above her left eyebrow was particularly noticeable due to the way she had tied back her long black hair, and her full breasts made her familiar figure unmistakable as she glanced around cautiously in her black clothing.

  The other soldiers also appeared quickly, staring at Julia, General Robert's daughter, who was soaked from head to toe.

  "Julia, how did you get here? Didn't we agree that you would meet us at the military camp?" Rain said angrily, his face looking extremely unpleasant.

  "I'm extremely familiar with the terrain here, and besides, I didn't come out on my own accord. I was given a military order, just like you, and we can only succeed, not fail." Yulia said somewhat discontentedly, unable to bear Rane's tone, which treated her as an ordinary woman. In the military camp, she was a top-notch warrior, a heroine who didn't yield to men.

  "Sister-in-law has actually come, let him join in together then, hehe!" The young Reed lad said with a smile, his eyes constantly circling around Yulia's wet and glistening body, her slender physique especially eye-catching due to her thin clothing.

  "You little stinker, are you itching for a fight? She's the general's daughter, can you afford to take responsibility if something goes wrong?" Ross growled, glaring at Reid, who was so intimidated that he didn't dare make a sound, hanging his head in shame and not daring to glance at Julia.

  "Rus, big brother, I'm here on orders. If you don't believe me, take a look at this, it's the token we use to enter and exit the border." Yulia said as she pulled out a military token from her bosom, which was indeed proof of entering and exiting the border.

  "Alright, since that's the case, let's take action together! Rus and Reed, you two are in charge of protecting her. Dakore, it's up to you! Brothers, let's move out!" As they couldn't afford to delay any further, with dawn approaching, Rain reluctantly agreed to Yuria joining them. Immediately after, they quickly deployed together and the group quietly made their way towards the enemy camp.
