Volume 10 Chapter 71 Hero Li

Strictly speaking, there wasn’t much to report on the battlefield when it wasn’t a large-scale war to begin with. Baimu just demanded that a report on the situation in Nieyao and their ancestral state be made every hour. In Nanjiang, they sent information using birds and beasts. As such, pigeons were seen flying ceaselessly.

Baimu’s demand resulted in a pile of “Continuing the offence. No progress,” and King Neath’s letters of anger on his table in his tent.

The wraith bowed his head in awe: “This one understands! You are without equal!”

“Get ready to go!”
