Xiao Luofeng said, "Young Master Zhao, they have over a thousand men! Judging from the steady advance of the encirclement, there could be as many as two thousand! No matter how dark it is or how high our position is, we can't fight twenty men by ourselves!"

"Of course, it's not about fighting head-on."

Zhao Cheng looked at Xiao Luofeng seriously and said, "I have a sure-fire strategy. Now it's up to you, Commander Xiao, to see if you can get the garrison to execute it."

Xiao Luofeng asked, "What do you want to do?"

"To complete my plan, your brothers must execute it unconditionally. I believe they have absolute trust in you. Now, all that's left is your absolute trust in me."

"You still haven't told me what your plan is!"

"So-called absolute trust means that you will do whatever the plan is. So... Commander Xiao, you have to trust me first and promise to carry it out before I can tell you the plan."

Xiao Luofeng frowned and immediately said, "No! I can't gamble with my brothers' lives!"

The atmosphere became tense. Xiao Luomu looked at Xiao Luofeng, then at Zhao Cheng, and didn't know what to say.

Zhao Cheng remained silent; he did it on purpose.

What he wanted was Xiao Luofeng's attitude.

Xiao Luofeng's attitude was crucial in both the execution of the battle and the aftermath.

If we can cooperate, then we should.

If they can't cooperate, then Zhao Cheng won't care about him anymore.

Therefore, in Zhao Cheng's mind, the lives of these brothers in the garrison were now in Xiao Luofeng's hands.

When the two sides were deadlocked, Xiao Luomu made a sudden decision and broke the silence.

"Brother, I don't care what you choose, I believe in Zhao Cheng! If you won't give him garrison duty, then I'll just make up the numbers and become his soldier!!"
