Chapter 533 - 512 Second Update
Upon hearing the news, Wen Sheng shot up from his seat, the color of fear spreading invisibly from him and infecting every person present, each one almost simultaneously taking a deep breath.
"General, we can’t wait any longer, we absolutely can’t let them set up the Maze Formation, once it’s laid down it will be too late," the tall and thin man said urgently, prompting everyone to look toward General Wen Sheng.
General Wen Sheng nodded, clenched his teeth - he had seen the consequences, and at this moment, there was no better alternative. He immediately waved his hand, and everyone sprang into action, quickly leaving.
Now only Wen Sheng remained in the main tent. It was then that he realized his palms were full of cold sweat, his back too was covered in a dense layer, sitting was like sitting on pins and needles, yet he was forced to calm himself down. If he panicked now, the entire Eastern Border Army and the Southeastern Army would face a catastrophic disaster.
Deputy General Geng personally followed one of the soldiers. In the darkness, the man seemed to walk normally through the camp, yet his movements were stiff. Upon close inspection, there was indeed something different about him.
After passing the soldiers’ resting tents and reaching a deserted area, the man’s pace quickened immediately, clearly showing that there was not much time left. He moved past a storage shed where equipment was kept, and came to an inconspicuous corner of the camp. The next moment, he lifted a black tarpaulin hidden in the corner.
This tarpaulin looked the same as those covering equipment in the storage shed, so much so that even the camp’s soldiers would assume it covered equipment outside and would not be suspicious.
Crouching down, the soldier began digging quickly. Deputy General Geng did not know what the man intended to do, but remembered what the tall, thin man had said - the enemy was about to make a move.
The next instant, Deputy General Geng gestured, and the two soldiers following him pounced, taking no chances and tackling the man to the ground. Before the soldier could cry out, his mouth was stuffed with dirt and he was tightly bound with ropes.
