541: Zhao Feng

With the addition of Xiao Feng, a "high-end combatant," the situation was instantly and completely broken.

Furthermore, Xiao Feng's combat power was very high; he was not only powerful but also fast, his figure flickering as he reaped heads.

The scale of both sides was only about a hundred people.

Xiao Feng unexpectedly killed ten people in just one minute, how could the Yu-Han soldiers fight like this?

One side's morale soared, while the other side's morale plummeted.

One side's numbers remained stable, while the other side's numbers continuously decreased.

The outcome of this war was already destined.

Pfft! Pfft!

Xiao Feng killed two more enemies with two swords, then glanced around; it was already somewhat "empty," and the battle was nearing its end.

The remaining scattered enemies were quickly dealt with by the Great Xia soldiers.

"Clean up the battlefield!" A blood-soaked general shouted, then immediately looked at Xiao Feng and strode towards him.

"Thank you, young hero, for your assistance! If not for you, even if we hadn't lost this battle, the losses would have been severe!" The general said, cupping his hands to Xiao Feng with immense gratitude.

"It's nothing, merely a small effort, after all, the rise and fall of the world is every man's responsibility. With national crisis at hand, how can we people of the martial world stand by idly! Nation comes first, then the small family. This is what I should do," Xiao Feng said, smiling and nodding to the general.

"Young hero's awareness is truly high!" The general couldn't help but exclaim upon hearing Xiao Feng's words, and he was also amazed by Xiao Feng's high level of "culture"!

The general couldn't help but revere Xiao Feng even more, then remembering something, he quickly said to Xiao Feng, "I am Zhao Feng, the Vanguard General of the Vanguard Army from Bancheng. May I know your name, young hero?"

"My name is Xiao Feng, and I am from the Yan Yu Sect in Jiangnan area," Xiao Feng said with a smile and a nod. "General can just call me Xiao Feng."

"So it's Xiao Feng, the great hero Xiao! Yan Yu Sect... I've heard that name, it seems to have risen to prominence recently! It seems the Yan Yu Sect truly lives up to its reputation as a righteous sect! To have a talent like Hero Xiao!" Zhao Feng showered Xiao Feng with a string of "flattery."

"Oh! General, you praise too highly, I cannot bear the title of great hero, just call me Xiao Feng!" Xiao Feng quickly waved his hand, earnestly telling Zhao Feng.

"Then I'll presume to call you Brother Xiao!" Zhao Feng nodded to Xiao Feng.

"No matter, a name is just a code," Xiao Feng nodded and said, "General Zhao, you just said you are from the Vanguard Army of Bancheng? These things are..."

"These are logistical supplies that called for help on the way. We rushed here immediately, but we didn't expect to just save this batch of supplies only to be ambushed by Yu-Han again... If Brother Xiao hadn't arrived in time, who knows what might have happened!" Zhao Feng said with a sigh.

"Then I guess I was a timely helper, haha~" Xiao Feng couldn't help but smile and say, "This time it was a coincidence, I was also heading to Bancheng."

"Oh? May I be so bold as to ask, Brother Xiao, why you traveled all the way from Jiangnan area to here..." Zhao Feng asked curiously.

"I was entrusted by someone to deliver a letter to the Lingyun Sect, but when I arrived here, I found that the Central Plains region was in such chaos! It was even invaded by Yu-Han and Qi Xiong... Originally, I came with my master, but with this chaotic era approaching, I sent my master back to the sect first to report this matter and prepare early," Xiao Feng told Zhao Feng. He told the truth, as there was nothing to hide.

"So that's how it is!" Zhao Feng nodded understandingly. "If you don't mind, how about we rest for a bit and then return to Bancheng with us?"

Xiao Feng listened to Zhao Feng's words, thought for a moment, and nodded, "Then I'll trouble General Zhao!"

It was good to go to Bancheng with them, and with the identity of a "savior," entering Bancheng should be easy, and he could also be considered a person "with merit."

Moreover, no matter what, they were "his own people," so he would help if he could. With him overseeing the journey, it would be safer and they would be more capable of handling things.

Zhao Feng felt a slight ease when he heard Xiao Feng agree. He had seen Xiao Feng's strength with his own eyes; having such a powerful expert accompany the army was a strong boost!

And it was also a guarantee! The journey ahead was still quite long, and who knew what other misfortunes they might encounter.

After a while, the soldiers had mostly cleaned up the battlefield. After the entire army had rested and recuperated for half an hour, they continued their journey towards Bancheng.

Xiao Feng, meanwhile, rode alongside Zhao Feng, in the middle of the procession.

Along the way, Xiao Feng curiously asked Zhao Feng, "How is the situation in Bancheng now?"

"The situation in Bancheng is not very good... Yu-Han launched small-scale sieges three times, and we defended each time, then the Yu-Han soldiers retreated. Supplies are scarce, so we called for aid from other places to transport supplies here.

Because we were afraid of being intercepted by Yu-Han and Qi Xiong on the way, our Vanguard Army was always ready to provide support... And sure enough, we were intercepted, but thankfully..." Zhao Feng said with lingering fear.

It didn't matter if he died, but this batch of supplies was extremely important and could not be lost!

"So that's how it is..." Xiao Feng nodded. "How is the overall situation?"

"It's alright, it has stabilized. Great Xia, Yu-Han, and Qi Xiong are currently in a standoff. Although we are fighting two against one, Great Xia is not at a disadvantage at all! Most of the internal invading guerrilla forces have been eliminated, and with the major armies facing each other at the border, a full-scale war won't break out so easily; it's not yet time for an all-out war," Zhao Feng, as a general and the Vanguard Army, had a deeper and broader understanding of the situation.

"Currently, the Great Xia's rear is still very stable, and the situation is good," Zhao Feng said to Xiao Feng with a nod.

"That's good!" Xiao Feng felt a little relieved when he heard Zhao Feng's words, as the situation was not as bad as he had initially thought.

"Once we reach Bancheng, I will definitely request a reward for you, Brother Xiao!" Zhao Feng said solemnly to Xiao Feng.

"No, no, no! That's not necessary. As a person of the martial world, these military merits are not of much use to me," Xiao Feng waved his hand and said, "General Zhao, you can take the credit. However, you could mention our Yan Yu Sect."

Xiao Feng didn't have much interest in military merits, but if it could bring the Yan Yu Sect to the attention of the officials, that would be a good thing.

"Alright!" Zhao Feng understood Xiao Feng's meaning when he heard him say that, and he nodded readily, "Brother Xiao, don't worry! I know what to do!"

"Thank you, General Zhao!" Xiao Feng smiled at Zhao Feng.

The army advanced unhurriedly, mainly because there were too many supplies, and after several battles, the personnel reduction was also quite severe, making the overall situation appear to have more vehicles than people.

However, Zhao Feng had already sent scouts ahead to Bancheng to request support. A unit needed to be dispatched to support and escort this batch of supplies to successfully reach Bancheng.

Otherwise, he would be truly uneasy on the road.
