Chapter 1514: The Battle in the South
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
That day, rain poured in the south. The battle began hastily, and all forms of communications were cut off. Everyone relied on Duan Yanhao’s calm instructions to counter the ambush.
Despite the worsening plight, Duan Yanhao never allowed himself to back down.
He knew that the target of the southern troops was him. He used that to his advantage and offered himself as bait to lure and wipe all of them out.
This battle had continued for way too long, and it was time to end it.
After convening an emergency meeting, he assigned everyone their roles and led all of them to battle.
The noise of the heavy rain covered all the gunshots and explosions.
...
In the north, Bai Yaoyao watched the rain and couldn’t fall asleep at all. Her heart raced uncontrollably.
No matter how she comforted herself, Bai Yaoyao still felt anxious.
She clenched her jaw and called a few guards from the Xie family over. “I’m asking for a favor. I feel uneasy, and I’m afraid that something might have happened to Duan Yanhao. Could you go to the south and check on him for me?”
As she spoke, Bai Yaoyao pointed to the map in her hands.
Xie Limo had sent these guards to protect her on behalf of Bixue.
She knew that their mission was to protect her, so they might not listen to her instructions.
“I’m very safe. I won’t go anywhere tonight. Please, I’m begging you. If something were to happen to Duan Yanhao, I won’t be able to live too. You won’t be able to complete your mission too, would you?”
Seeing how persistent Bai Yaoyao looked, the guards looked at each other. After some discussion, they decided that half of them will stay to protect Bai Yaoyao, and the rest will go to the south to check on him.
That night, Bai Yaoyao sat nervously as she waited for updates.
She had never felt time pass so slowly before. It was so slow that it made her anxious and confused.
Despite feeling extremely tired, she still kept her eyes open.
The next morning, only one out of the five guards returned, and he was also wounded.
Bai Yaoyao’s face changed drastically. She felt lightheaded as she knew that something must have happened in the south.
Bai Yaoyao hurriedly helped that guard into the house.
“Miss Bai... I... I can’t hold on anymore. The southern troops have ambushed us. My fellow guards have sacrificed their lives to protect Duan Yanhao... With my last breath, I’ve returned to report to you...”
“This is such a serious matter, but why is the north not informed?”
“There might be a mole in the north.”
At that moment, Bai Yaoyao felt her body sapped of all energy, and she almost fainted. Her vision started to turn black, and she fought hard to stand straight. She clasped her hands together and stood firmly. Clenching her jaw, she said, “I won’t allow anything to happen to Duan Yanhao. Nothing will happen to him...”
Despite her firm words, Bai Yaoyao’s hands were shaking. Even her voice was trembling.
Bai Yaoyao hurriedly called the remaining guards over to take care of the wounded one. She couldn’t care about feeling sad or guilty now.
She had to regain her fighting spirit. She had to save Duan Yanhao. She must save him.
However, she couldn’t just trust anyone from her troop now.
If she had to choose some soldiers, she would select those who had trained with her initially.
If she were to send them over, she still had to seek approval. Bai Yaoyao immediately called Old Master Duan. She didn’t mention what happened to the southern troops and merely told him that she would be employing some of the soldiers. She also said that she would be engaging the pilots.
Without further questioning, Old Master Duan agreed.
Bai Yaoyao was moved by how much he trusted her. Because he believed in her, she would work hard to repay him.
In the morning, before the northern troops took action, Bai Yaoyao had already led her female troop on the plane towards the south.
