Just as Ji Fengyan was watching the enthusiastic actions of the rookies, one of the veteran soldiers hurried over to murmur something in Lu Shaoqing’s ear.

Lu Shaoqing walked to Ji Fengyan’s side. “Reporting to General, the Green Nightmare Army is here.”

Ji Fengyan’s happy expression faded the moment she heard those three words.

The Green Nightmare Army. Weren’t they the troops who caused her father’s death?

During a previous incident at the barracks, Linghe and company had come into conflict with some soldiers from the Green Nightmare Army. Ji Fengyan had met them then.

As expected, the smiles on the faces of Linghe and the rest froze the moment they heard that name. Hatred flashed in their eyes.

“Why is the Green Nightmare Army here?” Ji Fengyan asked.

Lu Shaoqing didn’t know of the grudge between Ji Fengyan and the Green Nightmare Army. He replied in all honesty, “We lit up the signal flares during yesterday’s demon ambush to request for reinforcements. The Green Nightmare Army is not actually based nearby, but they were probably on a mission in the vicinity. They saw the signal and hurried over.”

“Oh? Are they arriving only now?” Ji Fengyan smirked. Nearly a day had passed since yesterday’s attack. They should have reached before dawn if they had departed from the nearest campsite immediately.

“How many of them have come?” Ji Fengyan glanced at the messenger.

The soldier looked rather discomfited as he answered, “About a hundred men.”

“A hundred?” Ji Fengyan laughed out loud.

Sending only about a hundred soldiers after a day’s delay, were they really reinforcements or just here to watch a good show?

Lu Shaoqing also felt there was something wrong about the way the Green Nightmare Army did things, but didn’t dare to speak up.

“General. Let me go tell them to turn back,” said Lu Shaoqing.

Ji Fengyan waved him off. “No need. Since we are all soldiers on the same side, I should personally go over.”

Despite the pleasant manner Ji Fengyan spoke those words, Lu Shaoqing somehow detected an undercurrent of chilliness.

Ji Fengyan gestured at Linghe and company before heading towards the main gates of the camp.

Over a hundred soldiers wearing the Green Nightmare Army armour were standing casually at the entrance of the Moonset Valley. They looked impatiently at the few sentries. “Could you guys not kick up such a fuss so often? You all look fine—what did you signal us for? As soldiers of the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon, you shouldn’t be begging for reinforcements for any old matter.”

The Green Nightmare Army’s leader glared in annoyance at those two guards, his eyes full of disdain and contempt.

The sentries could only bite back their tongues at the Green Nightmare Army’s admonishments. Who didn’t know of the high status that the Green Nightmare Army held in the Kingdom? Who would dare go against them?

“Do you know just how much delay your silly ruckus has caused us?” The Green Nightmare Army leader snorted.

“Ha, I thought there were still some demons left alive. Didn’t expect it to be a human.” A frosty voice wafted over.

The Green Nightmare Army leader immediately turned toward the direction of the voice. Before him was a fresh-faced and petite teenage girl.

“Why has the Moonset Valley deteriorated so much that any Tom, Dick or Harry could come in?”
