Lin Feng keenly sensed the change, his brows furrowing as he sternly commanded, "Speak the truth at once!"
The young soldier, clearly startled by Lin Feng's sudden reprimand, trembled and quickly replied, "Reporting to you, my lord, there is currently only Qian Shou Jun in the city."
Upon hearing this, a hint of confusion flashed in Lin Feng's eyes as he pressed further, "Why is there only Qian Shou Jun? The intelligence I received indicated there should be ten thousand troops present."
The soldier swallowed hard and explained nervously, "Some of the defending troops were temporarily reassigned. It is said they were dispatched to Jingliang Border for a mission."
Lin Feng felt a surge of joy within him: this was truly a stroke of luck! With this development, attacking Uto City would undoubtedly be much easier. Perhaps this time they could successfully capture the city.
Just as Lin Feng was reveling in his thoughts, it felt as if a bucket of icy water had been poured over him. Lu Yong stood nearby, wearing a puzzled expression as he reminded him, "General, what exactly are you thinking? You seem quite pleased."
Startled by the sudden interruption, Lin Feng's face briefly showed embarrassment as he stammered, "Uh, well..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a voice rang out: "Guards! Take these two away and keep them under watch!"
Once the soldiers had carried out their orders, Lu Yong turned his gaze back to Lin Feng and asked, "General, can you tell your humble general what you were thinking just now?"
Taking a deep breath, Lin Feng straightened his expression and replied earnestly, "Although there are still a thousand defenders holding Uto City, if we can lure them out according to our plan, capturing Uto City will be as easy as reaching into a pocket."
However, Lu Yong scoffed with disdain and countered, "Hmph! How could it be that simple? What if it's a trap set by the enemy?"
It must be said that while Lu Yong's words were blunt and somewhat harsh, they were indeed heartfelt. After all, if this was truly a carefully laid trap, then all their previous strategies would amount to nothing but an illusion.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Yong suggested further, "In my opinion, why not send a group of capable spies into the city first to investigate the situation? If things are as you believe them to be, it will certainly be much easier to handle; but if there is deceit involved, we can prepare our countermeasures in advance."
After considering Lu Yong's words carefully, Lin Feng nodded slightly in agreement. "You make a valid point. Let’s proceed with that plan!"
Subsequently, they arranged for some spies disguised as merchants to head toward Uto City. Lin Feng then led the army at a slower pace. However, within Uto City itself, the atmosphere was exceptionally tense and oppressive.
Since Hulanmu ordered everyone to enter a state of high alert, three whole days have passed.
During these three days, the once bustling streets have turned eerily quiet, and the surrounding silence is unsettling. Not only that, but even the scouts sent out to investigate have gone completely silent, as if they have vanished from the face of the earth.
The citizens of the city have fallen into a state of extreme panic, living in constant fear and uncertainty about what might happen next. It is important to note that this city has never faced such a dire situation before.
Everyone is speculating about how powerful the enemy must be, considering that even their elite scouts have not returned. At this moment, Hulanmu stands atop the city tower, his brow furrowed as he gazes into the distance.
His heart is filled with confusion and concern: what could have happened to those scouts? Why have they not returned yet?
