Chapter 541: Chapter 541

That’s the asymmetry in the intelligence, Du You thought to himself.

Because these Sandpeople had no idea where Du You’s true territory was. They just thought the outlying town was his domain. By now, they were close to Du You’s territory.

Out of nowhere, a flock of griffins attacked them and flew off in another direction. So they assumed that their plan was to lure away the Sand Sculpture Knights and thereby weaken their power.

So, taking their chance when the leader of the Sand Sculpture Knights was killed, they forcefully took control of the knights and moved with them. The rule among the Sandpeople was to obey the strongest. With their leader gone, the Sand Sculpture Knights, naturally, would follow their command and proceed in this direction.

"They really didn’t chase after us, you’re brilliant, Master!" Lin Yushi exclaimed excitedly.

Lin Yucha was somewhat puzzled, "But what if the Sand Sculpture Knights did chase after us?"

Du You scoffed, "Don’t forget, we have many arrow towers on our side of the territory. Coupled with the Griffin Knights and no priests accompanying them, I’d welcome them to hurry up and go to their death."

The two sisters looked at each other, sticking out their tongues, oh yes, they had forgotten how much stronger the defense on their side was.

"What a pity," the two sisters said simultaneously. Currently, the Sandpeople were nearing them quickly. They were about to go into combat and didn’t have time to consider anything else.

Du You said to Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi, "You two, with most of the Shadow Shooters and the Snow Wolves, head into the dense forest there. Once the Sandpeople realise they can’t break through our wall directly, they’ll certainly attack from the forest; that’s the best place for you to show your abilities."

This was not a battle tactic devised by Du You, but by Luo Jia. Du You merely told the two sisters to assist in the forest, while he remained by the city wall.

As for Luo Jia, though once powerful, he had his entire Dou Qi disabled after becoming a slave. Since being bought by Du You, he had started cultivation anew, reaching only tier 3 till date.

Cultivation speed was faster this time since he had gone through it once before. However, at this level, staying at the back in such a battlefield was the best option. Rushing to the front would only mean suicide.

Time flew by quickly. It didn’t take long for the Sandpeople to appear before the open area in front of the town. Of course, that space was now covered by a city wall.

Watching the defeated look on the Sandpeople’s faces, the soldiers, who were initially tense, almost laughed out loud. The citizens who were keeping a watchful eye, felt much relieved seeing this scene.

Soon, the image of the defeated Sandpeople spread throughout the town.

Since the Sandpeople had approached, the merchants and representatives from other noble territories passing by and others could hardly be seen.

Of course, the ones who stayed wanted to find Du You and negotiate with him. But Du You couldn’t bother with them over the last few days,—leaving them in a dilemma whether to stay or leave.

"Get ready to welcome our guests," Du You said casually .

Simultaneously, Luo Jia started adjusting his troops based on the Sandpeople’s layout.

On the city wall, numerous heavily armed warriors stood there, unleashing the aura of their second-tier power. The aura of two hundred-level 16 heavily armed warriors, combined with fifty-level 20 Shadow Shooters, was not weak.

On the side of the Sandpeople, the number of tier-two warriors was higher, but the quality was much lower in comparison.

"Impossible, how could they have such competent men? They said the town was just established. When did such a remote human territory have this many powerful beings?" Shali exclaimed, his eyes wide open.

The mood on Fengcao’s face was grim, "This is bad, it seems like a trap. It’s probably a trap set by the humans intentionally to deal with us. If we’re annitahilated, our plan to deal with White Stone City would have to be postponed."

"What? Are you scared and want to run? If you want to leave, leave. I can kill these humans myself."

Fengcao snorted, "Who’s scared? I’m just analyzing the situation, you brute. With the large number of masters we brought along, and the Sand Sculpture Knights, how could these cowardly humans stop us? They’ve set a trap, but they’ve underestimated our determination. They probably didn’t expect so many of us."

Shali suddenly smirked, "So, who’s going first?"

"Of course, I am. I’ll be the vanguard, don’t even think about stealing the merit."

Shali had a radiant smile on his face, "That’s great. Let’s leave the front to you. All the regular Sandpeople are yours for the taking. I’ll circle around the small woodland over there. Once we sandwich them, we’ll slaughter them."

Hearing this, Fengcao’s eyes bulged. He regretted his quick agreement. This damn Shali was always unashamed. If he let him sneak to the back, the one with the most credit and kills would definitely be him.

"You’ve already said it, don’t back out now," said Shali.

"Hmph. So what if I go with a frontal assault, are you scared? When we attack Mountain Town later, I’ll still go for a frontal assault. Don’t compete with me."

The town couldn’t possibly allow entry from other places, right?

"Hmph, I’ll let you have it this time," said Shali angrily. He hadn’t expected to trap himself as well.

The speed at which the Sandpeople organized their squad for battle was significantly fast. Their ranks were original quite disorderly. This time they hadn’t brought any special kind of soldier except for a few Quicksand soldiers along with the Quicksand Priests. Their attack pattern was just as simple as splitting into two groups. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝘯𝘦𝘵

As the priests unleashed their additional magic, the higher-level Quicksand soldiers bodies started to flicker. The battle finally started as enormous quantities of Quicksand soldiers charged towards the opponents under their leaders’ guidance.

"It’s really useful to have a priest. At least it provides great support to a general army," Du You sighed, "Fortunately, this is within the control of my territory, so I’m not entirely without assistance."

The power of the Quicksand treasure flag wielded and quicksand pits that were invisible to the naked eye started forming on the ground suddenly. As a result, many of the charging desert wolves and sand snakes got stuck. These were not ordinary pits of quicksand; the sand snakes had no immunity against it, were caught and dragged in.

At the same time, countless sand on the ground started to mold into formations and turned into numerous Desert Wolves. More level two desert wolves appeared. Their power was also stronger, with many even reaching the second-tier.
