Chapter 70. What happened during those three days.

At that time Fengsu was waiting for signal from Huang Wen, he was blended in among thousands of zombies.

Ever since Huang Wen agreed to accept his assistance, in exchange of working hard to thwart Wang Yuehei's plan, Fengsu stayed close to Huang Wen. Every once in a while, he would use his spiritual sense to find Huang Wen.

Two days ago, Huang Wen tried to contact him. It was the time when Huang Wen knelt in front of his father's grave. He was glad to sense Huang Wen's spiritual link and quickly accepted it.

'Nice job breaking through the siege, but what's your plan now?', Fengsu asked Huang Wen as soon as the connection formed.

'I need you to check something for me.', said Huang Wen.

Fengsu frowned, 'I thought you're the one who would do all the work and I'll teach you skills. Why don't you tell me your situation and let me teach you a skill or two, to solve the problem.'

'I don't need any new skills for now. Besides learning a skill take times, I don't have it right now. If you want me to delay Wang Yuehei's plan, then you need to do a bit of work.', said Huang Wen.

Fengsu muttered some curse but then he replied, 'Okay, what do you want me to do?'

Huang Wen explained, 'This army of zombies, was commanded by Wang Yuehei, right? If we looked at their number, then they should be able to conquer this town days ago. Now, I wonder why they hadn't done it so far.'

Fengsu said, 'He want them alive, that's why. That's why every once in a while, they would ask them to surrender. As you know, Lord Wang Yuehei doesn't have many human on his territory. The demon lord still need human to work for them. Zombies are good canon fodder, but they need constant supervising and you can't ask them to farm, hunt, work in factory, and such. If you ever go to Changsha, you will see how Lord Wang Yuxue rule his territory.'

'The human live and work peacefully, of course, they work for us, but we also keep them save and keep everything in order.', Fengsu explained.

Huang Wen thought about it, that was a possibility. He was thinking something else, but Fengsu's explanation sounded good.

'Maybe you're right, but just in case. I want you to check something. I wonder if Wang Yuehei actually put this town in siege for another purpose.', said Huang Wen.

'And what could that be?', Fengsu asked.

'As a bait, the People Liberation Army is numbered in more than a million. We only see a small part of them in this town. Even after the rip between our realm, they should still have hundreds thousand soldiers. There is big possibility that some higher ranks, were using the soldiers under their command to rule over cities right now. This army in Gutian Town, probably part of them. Since Wang Yuehei hadn't made any real moves toward this town, I'm thinking that maybe this town isn't his real target.', Huang Wen began to explain his idea.

Fengsu quickly caught on, 'So he will put this town under the siege, when the main army send reinforcement, his real army would attack their main headquarter.'

Huang Wen said, 'Yes, that's why they didn't invade this town, because they want them stay alive and worthy to be saved. They sent a million zombies, a big number that will ensure that the reinforcement would be big enough to reduce the strength in their main headquarter. The army that siege on Gutian Town also save their strength because they need to have enough strength to keep the reinforcement stay here for a while.'

Now, Fengsu thought that Huang Wen's idea might be true, 'So... what do you want me to do?'

Huang Wen said, 'I'm sorry, but I'm forced to make you work a bit hard. You need to check the big cities around Gutian Town. If there is a bigger target, then it shouldn't be around here.'

'Next, you need to check the road from Fuzhou to that city. If it's true that his real target is that city, then Wang Yuehei must prepared an army near that city.'

'You need to do it quick, but I know you can do it. I believe you're called Fengsu not for no reason. You also manage to find me all the way from Changsha to this place within days. So I know you must have some skill that give you ability to move fast from one place to another.', said Huang Wen.

Fengsu groaned, 'Hmm... I'll do it, but you owe me this one.'

Huang Wen laughed, 'No, I don't owe you anything. It's part of your own mission too.'

Fengsu silently curse, 'Don't be too sure boy.'

Huang Wen said, 'I'm not, by the way, once you finished with this request. You have to return to Gutian Town quick. Because I'm going to need your help to get out of this city and you'll need me out of this city alive if you want me to ruin Wang Yuehei's plan.'

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

Fengsu didn't say anything, he cut the connection abruptly. Huang Wen quietly waited for one day and one night, before Fengsu contacted him again.

'Boy ... you got it right this time.', said Fengsu as soon as the connection established.

'So what did you find?', Huang Wen asked.

'Wang Yuehei's main army was prepared to attack Ningde city, north of Fuzhou, east of Gutian. The reinforcement from Ningde just left the city yesterday. They should arrived approximately two days from tonight.', reported Fengsu.

'How about Wang Yuehei's army?', Huang Wen asked.

'They camped in hidden place, about ten kilometers north of Ningde City. Zombies and demons, they don't need much food or accomodation, so it's easy to find a hidden location for them. Most of the demons won't be too happy, but they aren't going to complain against a demon lord.', said Fengsu.

'Do you see Wang Yuehei among them?' Huang Wen asked.

'Yes, I saw him flying to scout the situation between, Gutian, Ningde and Fuzhou. I think once the reinforcement involved in battle against the zombies in Gutian, he will direct the attack against Ningde.', said Fengsu.

'Okay, now I need you to help me out of this city. I need some diversion, could you kill one of the zombie's commander, took the control over his zombies and cause them to fight the other zombies?', Huang Wen asked.

'Hmm... ', Fengsu hesitated.

'Look, aren't you going to get stronger from creating this diversion? You will absorb a man, control his zombies and get to absorb more as your zombies killed other zombies.', said Huang Wen.

Fengsu wondered, 'That's true but ... it's risky ...'

Huang Wen thought about Fengsu reply. Fengsu didn't completely refuse it, which means he was interested of that proposal.

'I can reduce the risk. First I'll act as diversion, I will go to fight the zombies. When their attention focused on me, you sneak attack one of their commander and wrestle the command of his zombies. Now you can escape from the battlefield, while using those zombies to create disorder. I will escape through that. What do you say about that?', Huang Wen asked.

'Hmm... that's better. Okay, I'll help you. Do it at night, I'm a demon which means the zombies won't try to attack me, even if I didn't have any control over them. I'll join the zombies. Contacted me when you're ready.', said Fengsu.

'That's even better, try to be as close as possible with their commander, tell me when you're ready. When you're in position, I'll begin to draw their attention.', said Huang Wen.

'Got it.', said Fengsu.

'By the way, I want to meet you before I return to Nanping, would that be possible?', Huang Wen asked.

'Hmm... sure no problem. I won't be far. Just contact me when you want to see me.', said Fengsu.

That was yesterday. Now, tonight, Huang Wen stood outside Gutian Town's line of defense. Song Jian and Yu Hee came along with him. He contacted Fengsu and soon Fengsu carefully moved toward the nearest commander.

The commanders of the zombies, already noticed Huang Wen. Those who were responsible to guard over that area, now gathered and discussed about Huang Wen. This time, they decided to put away all the grudge between them and worked together to stop Huang Wen from breaking through.

"Is that the same man who broke through our zombies about a week ago?", one of them asked.

"There were three men now."

"No, two men, one woman and one little child. Look the woman is carrying a child with her."

"Do they plan to break through our line again?"

"Is he stupid?"

"He did break through our line before."

"Are you sure, it is the same man?"

"Who would even think about it, if one of them is not the same man as before?"

"What should we do now?"

"Let's wait and see, they're still within the range of the soldier's rifles. Let them come, there is no way they would be able to pass."

"That's right, just prepare the zombies. Last time, we're careless, if Bao Zhong didn't too stupid to fall into his scheme and kept sending zombies to block him, he would never be able to break through."

They moved and spread in a line, instructing their zombies to form am organized defense line. Hundreds thousand of zombies, stood in a row, stretching from one end of the horizon to another. Huang Wen led Song Jian and Yu Hee to walk toward them. All eyes were on those three. Be it friends or enemies, everyone either respected their courage or curse their foolishness.
