Fletcher's Descent into the Abyss Chapter 105

When Lei Changming arrived at the mountainous area a hundred miles away from Cizhou, it started to drizzle. He did not rush into the battle, but rested there and set up camp.

"This means that he wants to fight a protracted war," Tan Taihu squatted in the bushes and looked down, "He has stretched the team so long that it is impossible to tell how many soldiers there are."

"But they built so many stoves that I was scared." Ding Tao drew a circle around where Lei Changming was stationed. "I went to the towns along the way to get information. They all said that he brought more than 40,000 people this time. They ate all the bandits near Cizhou on the way."

"It's hard to tell the difference between the truth and the falsehood," Casper Xiao stood up and pushed aside the wet branches and leaves. "If he really has so many people, why would he continue to recruit surrenders and traitors? The most feared thing for a team that wants to fight is temporary filling. That would disrupt the coordination between the soldiers and turn a group of wolves and tigers into a mob."

"That's what I guessed as well," Tan Taihu followed Casper Xiao out of the forest, "The more he wants others to know that he has 40,000 people, the more guilty he actually is. Master, he is afraid of us."
