Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 209: The Desperate Clarke Drake

Chapter 209: Chapter 209: The Desperate Clarke Drake

"I believe, none of you wish for anything to happen to General Ho, am I right?"

Wyatt Barnes’s gaze fell on the group of soldiers before him.

Immediately, the scene fell into utter silence.

Nearly ninety thousand soldiers had fallen silent.

"Alright! To all of you, today, here, in front of everyone, I, Wyatt Barnes, make a military pledge... Three days from now, our side is bound to break through the South Barbarian City, strike at their heart, and avenge the ten thousand brothers we lost!"

Soon, Wyatt’s voice rose a few degrees, his momentum like a rainbow.

Wyatt’s words lit up the eyes of nearly ninety thousand soldiers.

Now, they dared not look down on this purple-robed youth.

This is the man that had pointed out the ’flaws’ in the war strategy set by Clarke Drake... with Kanan Nigel bearing witness, they had no doubt about it.

"Get up! Rest well and gather your strength, three days from now, we march on South Barbarian City, to wash away our previous disgrace!"

Wyatt’s voice suddenly surged, tremendously infectious.

Wham! Wham! Wham! Wham! Wham!

...

In an instant, the nearly ninety thousand border soldiers who had knelt down stood up, their expressions full of enthusiasm.

"To wipe away the previous disgrace!"

"To wipe away the previous disgrace!"

...

Amidst the massive excited shouts, nearly ninety thousand soldiers withdrew one after the other.

At this moment, nobody in the field dared to underestimate the purple-robed youth standing there...

"If he could always stay in Crimson Heaven Kingdom, in the future, he will definitely be an influential figure like Godly Might Marquis... No, he might even surpass Godly Might Marquis!"

Watching his brothers being persuaded and leaving by Wyatt Barnes, Andni Ho was slightly shaken, his eyes revealing a color of reverence.

The young man had earned his respect!

"This kid... has stolen all my limelight."

Kanan Nigel raised an eyebrow, shook his head with a smile, and muttered to himself.

"General Ho, please send away those irrelevant people... otherwise, I’m not in the mood to discuss strategy with you."

Wyatt’s gaze fell on Andni Ho, with a meaningful look.

"Rest assured, Brother Ling Tian."

Andni Ho nodded, moved back to his camp, and looked at Clarke Drake, "Young Master Drake, I will arrange a horse for you, please leave."

"And you’re not hurrying to arrange it?"

Clarke Drake glared, in this place, he no longer wished to stay for even a moment.

He just wanted to return to the Imperial City, to live his life as an affluent young master.

"Wyatt Barnes, you’ve really outdone yourself."

Seeker Sinclair looked at Wyatt Barnes and laughed: "You didn’t see the faces of General Ho and those two strategists just now... It couldn’t be more entertaining. However, you didn’t tell us that you also reminded Team Leader Nigel about the ’flaws’ in the strategy devised by Clarke Drake."

"Well, don’t you know now?"

Wyatt shook his head with a smile.

Remi Sinclair looked at Wyatt Barnes, silent for a while, and in the end could only spit out these two words: "Pervert!"

Soon, the figure of Clarke Drake appeared before Wyatt Barnes.

Wyatt’s eyes narrowed slightly.

"Humph!"

Clarke Drake glanced coldly at Wyatt Barnes and scoffed: "Wyatt Barnes, don’t think I will feel grateful to you... Furthermore, don’t get complacent! You’re just a freshman from the ’Star System’, you should take a good look at yourself. Do you honestly believe you can figure out a way to break through South Barbarian City?"

Before Wyatt could speak, Seeker Sinclair already couldn’t bear it any longer and ridiculed: "That’s still better than someone whose dumb strategy led to the death of tens of thousands of soldiers! I’m really curious, what will the Emperor do if he knows about this... At that time, even if the Prime Minister can save your life, I’m sure the punishment won’t be light, right?"

"You!"

Clarke Drake’s face changed due to Sinclair’s words.

"Young Master Drake, you may leave now..."

Just then, the cold voice of Andni Ho came through.

Clarke Drake shot a resentful glance at Sinclair, his cold eyes swept over Wyatt one last time, then he finally left.

"He really got off easy!"

Seeker Sinclair watched Clarke Drake leave, his face sinking.

"That may not necessarily be the case."

Wyatt Barnes smiled faintly, his face mysteriously inscrutable.

Soon, Wyatt and Kanan Nigel walked side by side into the tent.

Andni Ho and the two strategists also entered.

Now, Wyatt was at the center, surrounded by everyone like stars around the moon.

"Brother Ling Tian, I want to apologize for what happened last time."

Andni Ho looked at Wyatt with sincerity.

"There’s no need for that, General Ho, I mentioned before that you were biased due to someone’s interference... Plus, given my age, it’s hard to be convincing."

Wyatt shook his head and laughed, looking unconcerned.

"Brother Ling Tian, with such a breadth of mind at this age, you’re destined to be an extraordinary figure in the future."

Andni Ho said, full of admiration.

"General Ho, let’s not stand on ceremony ... Let’s get down to business."

Wyatt Barnes’s gaze quickly fell on the model layout of the outskirts of ’South Barbarian City’ before him.

In an instant, Wyatt Barnes’s eyes sparkled with wisdom. He pointed and spoke slowly...

It was as if he were commanding the world with his mere words!

The ancient thirty-six stratagems passed down from the H Kingdom on Earth in his previous life, including ’Stealing the Firewood’, ’Surprise from the Hidden Warehouse’, and ’Borrowing the Arrows’ were all brilliantly implemented by Wyatt Barnes, narrated in detail.

Soon, almost everyone present was captivated by the strategy devised by Wyatt Barnes.

After a long silence.

"Genius! Absolute genius! Particularly the use of ’Borrowing the Arrows’, making full use of the wide moat outside South Barbarian City... We don’t have a lot of arrows to begin with, if we force an attack with them, we’d only last a while. But now it’s different, we can definitely use their arrows against them."

Andni Ho had been in the army for many years and had a wealth of experience. His sharp ’instincts’ told him that with these three strategies combined and timed correctly, they could certainly take ’South Barbarian City’!

The other two military strategists also expressed their reactions, looking at Wyatt Barnes and bending respectfully, "Elder Brother Ling Tian is indeed talented!"

Kanan Nigel took a deep look at Wyatt Barnes.

The shock in his heart was no less than that of Andni Ho and the other two.

Even though he had seen Wyatt Barnes’ ’Deceptive Strategy’, he did not expect Barnes to have so many brilliant plans.

Moreover, the three strategies Wyatt Barnes talked about now were closely linked to each other!

All the ’Star System’ students, including Remi Sinclair and Seeker Sinclair, stared at the young man in the purple robe in disbelief...

They now wished they could open up the young man’s brain to see what it contained!

Even the two who used to follow Clarke Drake and always regarded Wyatt Barnes as an enemy, looked at each other and could see ’admiration’ in each other’s eyes.

"The strategy we devised today is just a rough plan... When we get to the battlefield, we’ll have to play it by ear!"

Seeing the shock on everyone’s faces, Wyatt Barnes was not surprised.

The thirty-six stratagems were the ’treasures’ passed down from Earth H Kingdom’s ancient ancestors. If applied correctly, they could be invincible!

"I believe that with Elder Brother Ling Tian’s command, we will certainly win!"

A smile also appeared on Andni Ho’s face, and there was a flicker of excitement in his eyes, because he could finally avenge the tens of thousands of brothers who had died under him.

"Let’s set off three days later. Our Crimson Drake Army will carry out the ’raid’, and you border troops will be responsible for the ’frontal attack’."

Kanan Nigel also nodded his head, finalizing their plan.

Soon, everyone dispersed one after another.

Three days later, they will march on ’South Barbarian City’, to wipe out their past disgrace!

Just returned to the camp, Seeker Sinclair looked at Wyatt Barnes, asking: "Wyatt Barnes, what exactly is in your brain? ’Stealing the Firewood’, ’Surprise from the Hidden Warehouse’, ’Borrowing the Arrows’... I have never heard of these strategies before! How did you come up with them? Also, what do you mean by ’we’ll see’ when Clarke Drake left?"

Wyatt Barnes shrugged his shoulders, "Seeker Sinclair, you ask so many questions, how do you expect me to answer them all? Can’t be bothered! When the time comes, you’ll know."

Seeker Sinclair laughed bitterly.

Remi Sinclair seemed to have known all along that this would be the outcome, so he didn’t ask a single question.

Even so, his gaze at Wyatt Barnes was incredibly complicated.

Perhaps, being friends with Wyatt Barnes in this life could be considered his greatest gain and honor...

Outside of Flourishing City, a steed galloped away.

A young man looking somewhat disheveled, kept spurring the horse’s belly with his legs and whipping the horse in his hand, spurring the horse under him to speed up again and again.

Having galloped several miles, the young man found that the speed of the horse under him had slowed down.

Soon, the horse went straight down, foam coming out of its mouth, lying there motionless.

It was clearly dead from poisoning!

The young man’s face changed slightly as he realized something was amiss.

Just then.

"Drive!"

"Drive!"

...

Ten magnificent horses galloped up, quickly surrounding the young man.

There were ten middle-aged men dressed casually on the horses, presently looking at the young man with cold gazes. Their eyes were filled with bloodthirsty killing intent.

"You guys... I recognize you, you’re a Centurion from the border troops! And you too, you’re also a Centurion!"

The young man thought a few of the men looked familiar and quickly remembered.

These men were on the battlefield just the day before, respectfully listening to his orders, leading the troops in attacking ’South Barbarian City’...

"Master Clarke, when you get to the Netherworld Path, remember to apologize to our tens of thousands of brothers."

A Centurion who had been recognized, his cold gaze fell on the young man, as if looking at a ’dead man’.

"You guys... you dare to mess with the Prime Minister’s son?"

The young man was indeed ’Clarke Drake’.

Clarke Drake didn’t expect that after fleeing from Flourishing City, he would still be intercepted and killed by the border troops. He looked extremely upset.

"The Prime Minister’s son?"

Another Centurion sneered, "If it weren’t for you being the Prime Minister’s son, do you think you could have walked out of our camp? If we weren’t worried about getting the general involved, do you think we would have kindly let you leave? That’s over ten thousand lives!"

The Centurion seemed somewhat hysterical by the end of his outburst.

"You.. you can’t kill me... you can’t kill me... I’ll give you whatever you want if you don’t kill me... wealth and power, harem of beauties, whatever you want I can give you!"

Clarke Drake was scared. He was truly terrified.

For the first time in his life, fear and despair filled his heart.
