Your father never fulfilled his promise back then... Are you trying to trick us again?

"How should I address the young general?"

"Tang Fei."

"Ah, you're also from the Tang family," Man Niu exclaimed with joy, "He's indeed General Tang Li's son."

"..." Tang Fei.

Just tell me if they are straight-forward or not.

Upon hearing that Tang Fei is General Tang Li's son, the Barbarian Clan chiefs became increasingly amiable towards him.

Although General Tang Li led the Barbarians into great trouble back then, didn't he also jump in together?

General Tang Li once said, as long as he lived, he would always keep his word.

General Tang Li has passed away...

Therefore, it's understandable if he didn't keep his word.

"Young general... can the Barbarians also live like this?" Bo Gu asked uncertainly.

They've heard these words for many years, spoken by General Tang Li, spoken by General Xiao Tang...

Whether it can truly happen, they have no confidence deep inside.

"Of course. Barbarians are humans too, and their lives matter," Tang Fei said decisively.

"Then what should we do?" Bo Gu asked eagerly.

"Fight against the Phoenix people," Tang Fei spoke out, "Of course, strategy is essential. We can't afford to waste the lives of our Barbarian heroes recklessly."

"What strategy?"

"Well..." Tang Fei glanced at Little Fatty, saying, "Though I'm Little Fatty's elder brother, I'm ultimately not a Barbarian, some things are not easy for me to say..."

"Little Fatty is the son of our Barbarian Clan Chief, you're Little Fatty's elder brother, so you're one of us," Bo Gu said earnestly, "Besides, General Tang Li was our Barbarian Clan's most cherished friend and the only leader we respect..."

"We Barbarians are straightforward, say what we mean. Young general, feel free to speak; we trust whatever you say. I know you wouldn't harm us."

"Yes, brother wouldn't harm us," Little Fatty echoed.

A habitual affirmation...

Bo Gu fondly glanced at Little Fatty, this is the son of the older brother, also his dear nephew...

Back then, older brother married a human woman who wasn't much to look at, seemingly feeble and incapable of heavy tasks...

But everyone knew older brother made this sacrifice for the Barbarian Clan.

Tang Fei patted Little Fatty's shoulder appreciatively; at critical moments, a supporting act is needed...

Little Fatty's unique status makes his endorsement more convincing.

"Since the Barbarian brothers consider me one of their own, I won't hold back," Tang Fei said, deeply touched, "We all know the Phoenix Army occupies the main peak of Dushan, exploiting its geographical advantage."

"With unlimited supplies and powerful firepower support, it's unrealistic for us to engage in direct combat. I've seen the Barbarian brothers charging... honestly, I admire them greatly."

"All are heroes, warriors protected by the Dark Night God. Though not entirely successful, our morale is shown."

Tang Fei had prepared beforehand, knowing the Barbarian Clan worships the Dark Night God, the Moon God...

Only at night, when the moon is out, can they freely move around.

Just like on Blue Star at Flame Shrine, worshipping the Flame God, the Sun God.

They believe when the Sun rises, it brings light and warmth to humanity.

"They fear us, the Phoenix Army fears us."

"Really? They fear our Barbarian Clan?" Bo Gu's eyes gleamed.

"Absolutely," Tang Fei nodded without hesitating, "You've seen, I'm the closest friend to their General Shen Qingping... he told me personally, the Phoenix Army fears you."

"Chief, I said... if we keep fighting, eventually we'll wear them down."

"Chief, let's charge again tonight? This time, I guarantee we'll capture the hill."

"Humans fear death the most... unlike us Barbarians... bullets hitting us feel like an itch."

------

"Everyone quiet down," Bo Gu shouted.

Once everyone stopped their clamor, Bo Gu looked at Tang Fei, respectfully saying, "Young general, continue."

Tang Fei nodded with satisfaction; these Barbarians... though they've never been to school, they understand respect and dignity quite well.

Some people sit in classrooms daily, the teacher lectures while they chat below...

Some secretly read novels.

Shameless.

Tang Fei felt he had laid enough groundwork and now delved into the main topic, saying, "First, we need to know who our main enemy is."

"There are many Phoenix people, and many Phoenix Empire troops, not everyone is bad, not every soldier is our enemy, right?"

"Right." Under Tang Fei's guidance, the Barbarian General's thoughts began to broaden, "General Tang Li was good, those who killed General Tang Li were bad."

"Wrong answer," Tang Fei snapped his fingers, saying, "If our Barbarian Clan fought all Imperial Army troops, we wouldn't stand a chance."

"But, we can unite with the good ones and fight against the bad ones... then we'd surely defeat them."

"Young general, who are the good ones? Who should we fight?"

"Hmm, that's a good question..."

------

Watching Tang Fei speak eloquently amid the crowd, Lu Siyu muttered quietly, "He fooled a whole bunch again."

Phoenix wore a faint smile, gaze fixed on Tang Fei, whispering, "I believe he can do it."

"..."

Lu Siyu turned to observe Phoenix, wondering, have you been tricked stiffly too?

Recalling her relationship with Tang Fei...

Indeed, no doubt.

They dined on Sand Worms, bugs growing out of the sand.
