Fifteen minutes passed quickly. Gu Yuzhi put on his mask, mounted Xueye, turned to look at Mr. Huo and the others, and smiled brightly on his face: "Mr. Huo, are you ready?"
Mr. Huo looked up at him, then suddenly burst into laughter. He gently patted the Iron-Eating Beast's head and walked to Xue Ye's side: "Your Highness, from the moment I officially put on my armor, I was already prepared!"
Be ready to sacrifice yourself on the battlefield at any time!
The other guards behind him also stepped forward, laughing heartily in the same manner as Mr. Huo: "Your Highness, we are ready too!"
They already knew about the impending war with the Northern Barbarians when they set off for the northern desert.
Now, their team of twenty men has exchanged the lives of thousands of enemy soldiers for their own lives—that's truly worthwhile!
Gu Yuzhi looked at their smiling faces, his eyes reddening, but he raised a big smile and held his longsword high: "Guards, charge with me!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Xueye let out a howl and charged out with a host of wild beasts!
Not only humans, but also these wild beasts harbored a desire for revenge in the snowy night.
Of the many wild beasts that came with them, only a small fraction remain...
The howling wind dispersed the cries of the snowy night, and the Northern Di camp was quiet, with almost no sound except for the occasional snore.
The wind and snow were too heavy, and the night watchmen had already retreated to their tents to warm themselves by the fire. Only when it was time would they take the dogs out for a walk.
Coincidentally, when Gu Yuzhi and his group arrived at the location, the other party had already finished their patrol and was shivering as they warmed themselves by the fire.
The patrolling dogs sensed something was wrong, but the beasts' aura was too strong. The dogs didn't even dare to raise their heads, lying on the ground with their eyes closed and trembling slightly, just waiting for the terrifying pressure to pass.
Gu Yuzhi and his group rushed in with a purpose, so they didn't waste any time in front of these tents and went straight to the largest tent they had observed that day.
The tent was luxurious in appearance and located in the very center of the entire Northern Di headquarters. Mr. Huo said that it was Alente's tent.
He's not here; there's a very high chance his only son is inside.
The sounds of wild animals running were already faint, and when combined with the sound of the blizzard, they were completely unnoticed.
Gu Yuzhi and his men easily made their way to the outside of Alentel's camp.
He flipped off Xueye's back and gestured to Mr. Huo, saying, "While we rush in, let Xueye and the others bite people outside?"
Mr. Huo nodded and made a few hand gestures: "I'll go in first, His Highness in the middle, and they'll bring up the rear. Regardless of whether Alente's son is inside or not, we must eliminate him completely!"
When he mentioned the phrase "cut the weeds and eliminate the roots," Mr. Huo's expression changed, revealing a bloodthirsty glint.
Gu Yuzhi blinked, pursed his lips, and nodded silently, "I know!"
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Wen and Shu, his eyes filled with tears: "Teacher Shu, Manager Wen, I haven't been able to say goodbye to you for a while, but I think I have to say it now."
During the previous ambush, Manager Wen and Teacher Shu were forcibly summoned back by their main system. If they hadn't argued their way back, he wouldn't have had a chance to say goodbye to them.
Gu Yuzhi didn't want such regrets, so he was determined to say goodbye to them properly before taking any action.
He wiped his face: "Manager Wen, Teacher Shu, I know I haven't achieved what you wanted, but I really tried my best! I hope I won't affect your rankings this year!"
There are only two months left until Chinese New Year, but he probably won't be able to see their rankings!
Gu Yuzhi pursed his lips and smiled at the two of them: "That's all for now! I hope you can choose a good host in the future to help you fulfill your wishes."
After saying this, Gu Yuzhi let out a long sigh of relief and, without giving them a chance to speak, said softly, "You may leave."
Wen Shu and his companion vanished instantly.
Just then, Mr. Huo lifted the curtain and rushed in. The Northern Di guards inside shouted a few angry words, but Mr. Huo didn't say a word and directly slit their throats.
Gu Yuzhi quickly followed, scanning the area. There wasn't a single child in the tents outside. He felt a pang of regret, but his hands didn't stop. He quickly engaged in combat with a Northern Di person.
After the tent curtains were drawn, Xueye shook off the snow and let out a howl at the swirling snowflakes: "Awoo!"
The howl was long and extremely oppressive.
The Northern Di people, who were still asleep, were awakened by the howl and rushed out with their weapons.
Why is there a wolf howling?
"Is the weather so bad that the wolves have come down from the mountain in search of food?"
"That shouldn't be the case! There are almost no wolves in the mountains around this area that the Khan chose!"
The Northern Di people muttered amongst themselves, gripping their scimitars as they cautiously moved forward, testing the waters.
The wind and snow seemed to intensify at that moment, and the howling wind completely obscured their movements in the snowy night.
They were like guerrillas, peeking out from the side of the tent every now and then. Once they bit off someone's neck, they would move to another spot, determined not to stay in one place and passively take a beating.
After these two battles, Xueye and the others understood that the Northern Di people were very ferocious and their scimitars were very powerful. If they hooked their feet, they could sever their Achilles tendons. Therefore, they absolutely could not let the Northern Di people know where they were.
Inside the tent, Gu Yuzhi and his companions stood back to back, fighting their way in until they reached the innermost part of the tent.
The curtain of the inner tent was lifted, and an extremely tall and imposing man rushed out. This man had a scar on his face, which ran from the top of his forehead down to his chin.
The scimitar in his hand was also larger than others', and his walk gave people the feeling of the earth shaking.
Gu Yuzhi was on high alert, wondering what to do, when he saw the man squinting and scrutinizing Mr. Huo.
After a while, the man burst into laughter and said in his extremely broken Sangchao dialect, "Huo Qiyuan! It's you! You're still alive!"
Mr. Huo hadn't expected to see an old friend. He tightened his grip on the spear and instinctively shielded Gu Yuzhi behind him: "Calling out to the Tiele, I never expected you to still be alive!"
The man called Huqi Tiele laughed again, his laughter nearly lifting the roof off the tent.
He abruptly stopped laughing, staring intently at Gu Yuzhi: "This little baby dares to come to my Northern Di territory? Could this be your Prince Wen or something?"
Before he finished speaking, his curved blade slashed horizontally towards Gu Yuzhi...
