Chapter 42 I’m Here_1
The four main officials of the Eternal Domain received orders from Yan Xing to prepare.
Duan’er was deeply moved by Yan Xing’s initiative to send troops to help him reclaim the Red Mud Wetland, but he also expressed concern.
"Master Yan Xing, even if Stenchwater Steel Fang brings only a hundred Werewolf Warriors, that’s still more than our forces. If we rush into an attack... and if we are defeated, it will be very difficult to take back the Red Mud Wetland."
Currently, the Duan’er Tribe could muster only a little more than thirty Werewolf Warriors. He didn’t know how many troops the Eternal Domain had, but it appeared to have only about twenty or so. Even combined, their forces were still only half the strength of the invading Stenchwater Forest wolf pack. Furthermore, since humans are not adept at fighting in swamps, their military strength would be greatly diminished.
Yan Xing then said, "The Stenchwater Forest wolf pack likely attacked the Red Mud Wetland during the night. Right now, they must still be busy subduing the captive Werewolves and won’t have had time to arrange the defenses for the Red Mud Wetland. They would never expect us to counterattack so quickly. As long as our attack is swift and fierce, the invading wolf pack, unaware of how many warriors we’ve brought, will surely retreat in fear. Conversely, if we delay our counterattack, not only will it allow the invading wolf pack to set up defenses at their leisure, but your captive women and children might also be moved deeper into the Stenchwater Forest. The losses would be too great."
Duan’er nodded repeatedly at Yan Xing’s analysis. Time was of the essence; an immediate counterattack presented the best opportunity.
"I’ll listen to Master Yan Xing. Let’s fight our way back right now!"
By this time, Eddie and Olaf had already organized their respective teams. The Werewolves who had been corralled outside were released to enter the territory and retrieve their weapons. The five Poison Flies that had been netted were set free.
Gao Sipa brought over a set of armor. On it were Steel Chains and a slingshot. Yan Xing took the equipment and personally handed it to Duan’er. "Please, Clan Leader Duan’er, put this on now. We set off immediately."
