Chapter 535: Myth

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

He sensed that, at this moment, no one would willingly step forward as the vanguard.

So, he volunteered, intending to relieve Qin Silong’s burden.

The fear of death had been cast aside from the moment he joined the military camp.

With thick smoke billowing from the castle, presenting an opportune moment for an attack, Su Ping felt the time was right.

Qin Silong placed a reassuring pat on his shoulder and smiled, “Chiliarch Su, excellent initiative! However, we won’t need a vanguard for this assault.”

Confusion etched the faces of the chiliarchs.

Who would launch an attack on a castle without a vanguard?

“Listen closely!”

“I’ve dispatched elite soldiers through the secret passage, instructing them to tamper with the enemy’s food. Once completed, I set their headquarters ablaze.”

“Observing the thick smoke rising from the castle, they initiated the fire themselves. Simultaneously, they confirmed the success of their mission.” “If my deduction is correct, the guards atop the castle must have been affected.”

As Qin Silong revealed this, the chiliarchs struggled to grasp the reality of the situation.

“How did you discover the existence of a secret passage leading to the castle?”

Faced with the complexity of the situation, Qin Silong opted for brevity. “This credit goes to our spy.”

“Luck was on their side; they stumbled upon information revealing that after capturing Three Flowers County, these individuals, in anticipation of an escape route, clandestinely constructed a secret passage leading outside.” “This passage was intended for their own use, a well-hidden escape route.”

The chiliarchs’ eyes widened in astonishment.

If this were true, then it was nothing short of miraculous!

Discovering a secret passage leading out of the castle in such a short span of time was already beyond belief. How fortunate must the spy be to uncover such crucial information?

Considering that there were likely defenders inside, it was an impressive feat for the elite soldiers sent by Commander Qin to infiltrate the castle unnoticed. To not only breach the kitchen and tamper with the enemy’s breakfast but also set their headquarters on fire showcased their unparalleled skill.

The efficiency with which these missions were executed by Qin’s selected elite soldiers made them seem almost otherworldly.

It was as if Commander Qin had amassed a group of subordinates as potent as Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals. The notion seemed surreal—how did Commander Qin, who was only a chiliarch before, acquire such a formidable team?

Could Commander Qin be fabricating this story?

However, his expression conveyed sincerity, devoid of any hint of jest.

“Let’s wait a bit longer. If luck is on our side, these lengthy ladders might become obsolete. Someone within the castle might lower the suspension bridge.”

“Is that even possible?”

The incredulity was palpable.

The other chiliarchs, much like Su Ping, found the situation hard to believe. Qin Silong grinned and added, “There’s something even more extraordinary!” “Observe, the castle door is now wide open. The long beams we brought are no longer needed.”

All heads turned, confirming that the castle door had indeed swung open.

Shortly afterward, the drawbridge suspended over the moat began its gradual descent.ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet

“Commander Qin, are you certain they’re not planning to engage us outside the city?” questioned another chiliarch, mirroring the skepticism etched on the faces of his comrades.

The notion of capturing the castle without deploying a single soldier seemed too implausible for them to accept.

Qin Silong burst into hearty laughter.

“I’ve explained it thoroughly. Do you still doubt my words?”

“Very well! I’ll be the first to cross the moat and enter the castle!”
