Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System-Chapter 775 - 731: Setting the Camp Ablaze

Helplessly, such a beautiful task did not fall upon oneself, so he could only look at the backs of those guys and lament that the heavens are unfair.

Just like that, under the envious gaze of the main force, these 100 Yan Country cavalrymen.

Quickly rushed to the camp where Leng Yu and her people were previously stationed.

However, when they arrived, what they saw was a field full of corpses.

And not a single one of these corpses belonged to the National Guardian Soldiers; they were all their own people.

This inevitably made the leader of the 100 who arrived feel quite surprised.

He furrowed his brows deeply, not knowing why such a situation occurred.

Could it be that what that guy said earlier was true?

But it shouldn't be.

With 30 cavalrymen on his side, even if they hadn't completely annihilated the opponent, it shouldn't have been this bad.

Moreover, looking at the scene before him, it was clear they had been massacred one-sidedly.

Of course, although he had such thoughts in his mind, he quickly dismissed them.

And he denied this assumption of his own.

In his view, it was absolutely impossible.

How could the 30 elite cavalrymen on his side not be a match for the opponent?

It's very likely that the opponent has already cleaned up their fallen soldiers.

That must be the case; it's the only thing that makes sense.

And so, he lifted his gaze to size up the now very quiet camp, a sneer creeping up on the corner of his mouth, revealing a strange curvature:

"A group of cunning National Guardians, is this an attempt to ambush us?

Hehe, what a pity, you've really underestimated me, Wu Gui.

Bring the fire arrows and set this camp ablaze for me."

Although they were surrounded by dense jungle at the moment, the area around the camp was already cleared by them. At least, setting a fire here shouldn't cause a large-scale wildfire.

In his understanding, this must be a trap set by the opponent.

The opponent surely had laid an ambush within this large camp.

Once his cavalry charged in, they would certainly be caught off guard by infantry ambushing from all directions.

As such, his side would certainly suffer casualties, since street fighting has never been a strong suit for cavalry.

And these cavalrymen who lived their lives on horseback, once they lost their warhorses, their fate would definitely not be good.

As he gave the order, dozens of cavalrymen beside him quickly drew special arrows wrapped in oilcloth from the quivers on their backs.

They took out fire starters from their laps, lit them one by one, and aimed the blazing arrows at a tent within the large camp.

Seeing this, the leader's smile became even more pronounced.

He raised his palm high and then swung it forward forcefully, instantly, endless swooshing sounds filled the air.

Simultaneously, fire arrows shot into the camp like meteors.

As these fire arrows penetrated, the oilcloth tents immediately caught fire, blazing fiercely.

In just a moment, the camp was turned into a sea of fire.

And at this moment, from not far away on the Great Wall, looking at the sea of fire, everyone's fists clenched tightly.

Everyone's jaws were clenched tightly too, wishing desperately to annihilate all those Yan Country people.

But at this moment, they were simply too few in number and too under-armed, although they had captured those previous 30-odd cavalrymen.

Currently, all their feathered arrows combined numbered only about 1000.

Beyond that, all they had left were spears and short knives.

Because of this, all they could do was helplessly watch those guys burning their camp.

Not just the soldiers, even Leng Yu herself was staring over there with a cold, controlled face.

If her gaze could kill, those 100 Yan Country cavalrymen would be dead by now.

At that moment, Leng Yu suddenly felt someone firmly patting her shoulder.

Then, a steady and powerful male voice sounded in her ear:

"Rest assured, I will make them pay the price they deserve."

This voice was so steady, so rich, hearing it gave her such comfort.

For some reason, a blush flashed across her originally cold cheeks.

For some reason, perhaps instinctively, she nodded slightly and softly responded with an "um".

Such a demeanor had not appeared since she took over her father's position.

She couldn't even imagine herself as a woman now.

Of course, she hadn't heard such a reassuring voice in a long time.

Only her father had spoken to her this way before, instilling such a sense of security.

And today, this strange man she had just met also gave her that same feeling of safety.

For some reason, with this man by her side, her heart felt inexplicably settled.

And over time, she had displayed her daughter-like demeanor many times in front of him, something even Leng Yu herself couldn't believe.

Perhaps because Young Master Lin had shown such dominance before.

Or because, in her most perilous moments, Young Master Lin had casually waved his hand and resolved the difficulties for her people.

Or because when everyone on her side had no water to drink, he casually took out several bottles of impossibly clean water from his pocket.

In short, all these things gave her a sense of safety.

It seemed that as long as he was by her side, nothing was unsolvable.

Moreover, unlike before, when facing an army of tens of thousands, her dozen or so people would have certainly lost their fighting spirit.

Or be prepared to die fighting.

But not now, with him by her side, her heart seemed much more at ease.

In Leng Yu's heart, there seemed to be a growing sense of anticipation.

This feeling was really quite wonderful, indescribable with words.

In short, her inner world was very complex.

Looking back at Lin Yi, she found his eyes fixed on the distant burning camp.

Moreover, in his profound gaze, Leng Yu seemed to see endless coldness, endless chill, causing her to shiver involuntarily.
