Douluo Continent: The Evil Tiger Subdues the Eight Desolations, and Marries Zhu Zhuqing

Three days later, in the evening.

Outside the command tent of the Heavenly Dou Empire's front-line military camp.

Two figures, a man and a woman, appeared at the camp gate.

The guards at the gate were taken aback when they saw the two people suddenly appear. They immediately raised their spears and shouted sternly:

"Who goes there? Stop right there!"

When they saw the newcomer's appearance, all the guards showed expressions of surprise and reverence.

"It's Commandant Lin! Commandant Lin is back!"

"Go and report to the Grand Marshal immediately!"

Lin Ye waved his hand and said calmly:

"No need, we can go in ourselves."

After saying that, he took Zhu Zhuqing's hand and walked straight toward the commander's tent.

All the soldiers they encountered along the way straightened their backs and paid their respects to Lin Ye when they saw him.

Lin Ye now enjoys extremely high prestige throughout the entire Tian Dou frontline military camp.

The atmosphere inside the command tent was somewhat heavy.

Grand Marshal Xiao Zhan sat in the main seat, his brows furrowed as he looked at the sand table in front of him.

Below, more than ten generals also looked worried.

"Report—"

A messenger rushed in, knelt on one knee, and loudly reported:

"Grand Marshal, the reinforcements sent by the Star Luo Empire have been identified. They are led by their General Dai Tianfeng, and consist of 50,000 elite troops, including over 3,000 Soul Masters! They are expected to arrive at the front lines in three days!"

"Dai Tianfeng?"

Upon hearing this name, the generals in the tent were immediately in an uproar.

"It's him! He's a member of the Star Luo Empire's royal family, an 88th-level Power Attack type Soul Douluo!"

"I've heard that this man has an extremely ruthless fighting style; any city he conquers is utterly annihilated!"

"Fifty thousand elite troops, plus Dai Tianfeng... this is a huge problem!"

Xiao Zhan's expression grew increasingly grim.

His original forces were equal to those of Dai Shan, and now the enemy has sent such powerful reinforcements. With the balance of power shifting, he has almost no chance of winning this battle.

He even considered retreating and preparing to hold the second line of defense.

Just then, the curtain was lifted, and Lin Ye and Zhu Zhuqing walked in side by side.

All eyes inside the tent instantly turned to the two of them.

When Xiao Zhan saw Lin Ye, he was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up with undisguised joy. He stood up abruptly from his position and quickly went to greet him.

"Captain Lin? You...you're back so quickly?"

Xiao Zhan's voice was filled with excitement.

Lin Ye had previously said it would take at least half a month or even a month, but he didn't expect to get back so quickly.

He knew very well that Lin Ye's return to camp at this critical moment gave him a glimmer of hope for turning the tide.

"I'm not a deserter, of course I'm coming back."

Lin Ye smiled faintly, his gaze sweeping over the gloomy faces of the generals in the tent, and asked,

"Grand Marshal, I overheard something outside just now. It seems the Star Luo Empire's reinforcements are arriving?"

Xiao Zhan sighed, nodded, and repeated the information he had just received.

He looked at Lin Ye with a hint of expectation in his eyes, but more so with helplessness.

He had prepared for the worst; if all else failed, he would have to ask Lin Ye and Zhu Zhuqing to cover the rear and ensure the army's retreat.

However, after hearing this, Lin Ye showed no concern whatsoever; instead, he let out a cold laugh.

"Dai Tianfeng? An 88th-level Soul Douluo? And 50,000 reinforcements?"

Lin Ye walked to the sand table, looked at the flag representing the Star Luo Army, and gently tapped the table.

"Three days from now, right?" Lin Ye looked up at Xiao Zhan.

"There's enough time."

"Grand Marshal, I have a plan that can cripple Dai Shan's 50,000-strong army before their reinforcements arrive."

Upon hearing this, the generals in the tent exchanged bewildered glances, all wondering if the young man had gone mad.

To cripple an army of 50,000? What kind of absurd fantasy is that?

Even Xiao Zhan wondered if Lin Ye was exaggerating.

He frowned and asked in a deep voice:

"Lieutenant Lin, there's no joking in the army. What... do you mean by that?"

Lin Ye looked at Xiao Zhan's suspicious eyes, but he wasn't angry. He simply stretched out his finger and gently drew a circle on the sand table at the location of the Star Luo Empire's main camp.

"What I mean is, tonight, we'll give them a big surprise."

"A 'diarrhea' ceremony that they will never forget."

Lin Ye's tone was calm, but the content of his words sent chills down the spines of everyone present.

Xiao Zhan immediately understood Lin Ye's meaning after hearing this.

"You mean...?"

Lin Ye's smile grew even brighter. Looking at Xiao Zhan's shocked expression, he said, word by word:

"That's right, that's exactly what you mean."

"Tonight, a night raid!"

"Target: Enemy's supply depot!"

The command tent fell silent. Everyone was stunned by Lin Ye's audacious, almost insane plan.

Xiao Zhan stared wide-eyed at Lin Ye, his heart pounding uncontrollably.

A night raid on the enemy's grain depot?

This idea wasn't unheard of.

But what kind of place is the Star Luo Camp? It's a den of dragons and tigers guarded by 50,000 elite troops!

Grand Marshal Dai Shan was no fool; his defense of vital supply lines, such as grain supplies, was arguably the best he could do.

The granary was not only heavily guarded and patrolled day and night, but it was also said that there were powerful Soul Masters secretly stationed there, so that no movement could escape their notice.

Sending someone to launch a sneak attack? That's like throwing good money after bad—a one-way trip!

"Captain Lin, this...this might not be appropriate, would it?"

A senior lieutenant with a goatee stepped forward first. He cupped his hands in greeting to Lin Ye and said with a solemn expression:

"The Xingluo camp is heavily guarded, especially the granary, which is impregnable. We've tried sending scouts to infiltrate before, but without exception, they all disappeared without a trace. Sending anyone there rashly would likely only be a pointless suicide mission!"

"Yes, Deputy General Zhang is right!" another general echoed.

"That old fox Dai Shan is incredibly cunning. This might actually be a trap, just waiting for us to walk right into it!"

The generals inside the tent were discussing amongst themselves, with almost no one optimistic about Lin Ye's plan.

Although Xiao Zhan did not speak, his tightly furrowed brows revealed his inner worries.

The risks of this plan are simply too great.

Lin Ye listened to the crowd's discussion, his face still bearing that calm and composed smile.

He waited until the crowd's voices subsided before slowly and deliberately speaking:

"I understand the concerns of you generals. If it were a normal infiltration, the chances of survival would be slim."

"However," Lin Ye's tone shifted, his eyes sharpening.

"What if I could sneak in with my men undetected, pinpoint the location of their granary, and then slip away unnoticed?"

Upon hearing this, the goatee-bearded lieutenant couldn't help but sneer:

"Captain Lin, your words are a bit too...arrogant. Without anyone noticing? The Star Luo Camp is full of eyes, inside and out. How could you possibly do it?"

Lin Ye ignored his sarcasm and instead turned his gaze to Xiao Zhan, who was in the main seat.

"Grand Marshal, I need five agility-type Soul Masters, whose level must be at least Soul Saint or above, and whose speed must be as fast as possible."
