Chapter 68: Is Ophelia a Pig?

Yufeng Valley, inside the main army tent…

“Who is it!?”

“Me!”

In the firelight, the newcomer’s face was unclear.

Only after the patrolling soldier checked the token handed over did he immediately let them pass.

Originally, Ofilia was already fast asleep, but in the middle of her dreams, she was rudely awakened.

Pa!

A heavy slap.

“Dead pig, stop sleeping, get up!”

Woken abruptly, Ofilia’s anger flared.

“Willis, you… uh…”

Once she saw clearly who it was, Ofilia was instantly dumbfounded.

“You… you…”

“What, don’t recognize me?”

Anne Donald smiled and waved her small, fair hand.

That was the culprit who had just slapped her.

Ofilia was about to get angry, but the other party tossed her a piece of paper.

“You really sleep soundly. No wonder Willis calls you a pig. Take a look.”

For some reason, seeing Ofilia wearing Willis’s clothes and sleeping on Willis’s bed made Anne furious.

And the fact that this girl was no less beautiful than herself only made her angrier.

But Anne still forced herself to hold back.

After all, slapping this idiot once was enough to vent her anger.

And, as expected of an idiot, she actually let herself be fooled so easily.

Ofilia sleepily spread out the paper and looked. She immediately jumped up.

“What!? You want me to be bait… wuwu…”

“Shh!”

Anne covered her mouth, making a shushing gesture.

“Idiot, do you want others to hear?”

“Ptui!”

Ofilia pushed Anne’s hand away and snorted.

“So what if they hear?”

“I was wondering why she wanted me to wear her clothes. So that’s why. No way, I don’t agree!”

“Heh.”

Anne stood up and sneered.

“Her Highness said, if you don’t agree, she returns you immediately.”

“You!”

Ofilia glared, her brows sharp.

“Why didn’t she tell me during the day?”

“Afraid you’d leak it. You might make a scene and not cooperate.”

Anne said.

“Then why should I listen to her now?”

Ofilia put her hands on her hips, looking as if she wanted to be begged.

“Because you have no choice left… The Rebels have already circled through the dense forest on both sides. It won’t be long before they attack.”

Anne said, turning to leave.

“If you want to die, just don’t listen.”

The other party left the main tent.

Ofilia hurriedly chased after her, only to see Anne ride off from Yufeng Valley.

“Willis! You bastard!”

Ofilia cursed angrily, then rushed back to the tent to change clothes and put on a face veil.

When she came out again, a discount version of Willis made her appearance.

“You, come here, go find Normankev!”

The soldier called out looked at Ofilia with some confusion…

Why did Her Highness’s voice sound so hoarse?

But he didn’t ask more, immediately responding to relay the order.

***

When the Rebel Head led his men to hide on the high mountains on both sides of Yufeng Valley, Mark and the other three were filled with despair.

“It’s over, it’s over. If we don’t act, we die. If we act, we’re traitors… What should we do?”

Mark and Dolan were full of hopelessness, while Vicks Todd beside them gritted his teeth.

“Vice Principal, at this point, words are useless! Let’s go with it—kill Willis, and we join the Rebels!”

Mark and the others’ expressions changed wildly, their faces a mix of emotion.

In the end, under the gaze of the Rebel Head beside them, they resigned themselves.

“Looks like everyone understands. When we launch the attack, make sure you perform well!”

The Head’s mocking tone made their faces darken.

Just then, flashes of illumination magic flickered from the mountain across from them.

The Rebel Head nodded.

“That side is ready too…”

“I just didn’t expect Willis to place Scouts on both sides of the mountain. Not bad…”

“But they met us! Those Scouts didn’t even know what happened before they were killed!”

Everyone around let out sinister laughter.

At this time, Tapur noticed something strange.

“Um… Big Brothers, I heard Willis brought over twelve hundred people.”

“But you all seem to be only five hundred here, and even with the other side, it’s just over a thousand.”

“Even for a surprise attack, do we have a guaranteed victory?”

“If we can’t take them down quickly, and the army near Monsell comes when they hear the news, we won’t be able to escape!”

At these words, the Rebel Head beside him sneered.

“Who said we only have a thousand?”

“Then this…”

Tapur wondered if his eyes were mistaken.

“We have several thousand more special troops, ambushed in the distant forest.”

The Head sneered.

At this moment, Tapur and the other four had already been captured, so he wasn’t afraid of them leaking the information.

“Ah? Then why not bring them all at once, wouldn’t it be even more certain?”

Mark asked in shock.

The Head explained.

“Did you forget that the First Princess Sielyou is also here?”

“But from the time Willis’s Caravan departed until now, no one has seen her appear…”

“I fear that at this moment, Sielyou is leading the two thousand soldiers the Emperor granted her to ambush at the rear.”

“What!?”

Mark and the others looked at each other.

They had come from Autumn Gate Avenue and hadn’t noticed any sign of a large army moving!

“When all our attention is on Willis, Sielyou sets out with her troops after Sunset!”

“With fast horses, they could arrive in the middle of the night.”

The Rebel Head wore a smug expression, all under control.

“Willis, Sielyou, want to fight me? They’re still too young!”

“Once our ambushed troops at the rear succeed in a sneak attack, we kill Sielyou and send the signal—immediately launch our offensive!”

“At that moment, the main force attacks from three sides. Willis can’t escape!”

Hearing the Rebel Head’s plan, it was comprehensive—flawless!

The previously downcast Mark and the others immediately perked up.

At this point, there’s nothing left but to kill Willis and flee with the Rebels!

***

On the other side.

Sielyou rode atop her horse, with dozens of carriages carrying soldiers following behind.

Through the starlit night, she led two thousand men, finally arriving.

At this moment, Anne Donald rode in, panting.

“Anne, how is it?”

“I’ve already informed Ofilia. She’s preparing.”

Anne caught her breath and joined the ranks.

She glanced at the two thousand troops behind, swaying on the carriages under the night wind.

If you got closer, you’d see they weren’t real people.

Anne laughed.

“The Rebels would never imagine in their dreams that Her Highness would bring two thousand soldiers!”

Her face was bright with admiration for Willis.

“Once the Rebels charge down from both mountainsides and Ofilia acts as bait, we lead the army in!”

“By then, attacking from inside and out, we’ll crush them—total annihilation!”

In contrast, Sielyou was much calmer.

“How much longer to Yufeng Valley?”

“Turn past that hillside bend ahead and you’ll see it, but at a slow pace, it’s at least another half-hour away.”

“I see…”

Sielyou looked to both sides.

“Then we’ll stop here.”

At that moment…

Beside Kozel Branch Road, in the distant forest.

“Big Brother, they’re here—they really came as the Head predicted! Sielyou brought two thousand troops to ambush in the rear!”

“Haha! Willis, Sielyou, this is the day you die!”

The man called Big Brother laughed, then gathered his forces.

“Are the traps and giant crossbows ready?”

“Already prepared! If we act at this bend, those at Yufeng Valley won’t even know what’s happening!”

“When we kill Sielyou, we cross here to join the Head. At full gallop, it’ll take less than a quarter hour!”

“Good! Move!”
