Chapter 355: Chapter 255 Suitable **
In the afternoon, under the setting sun, Lin Qi and his team finally returned. After a full day of back-to-back battles, every dragon bore wounds and every dragon knight was exhausted, but their faces were filled with joy after the battle. They landed their flying dragons from afar, discussing who performed best in the battle. Or how bravely they darted in and out of the enemy’s formation.
Then, from afar, they smelled the aroma of meat in the air. Under Long Yi’s instruction, Little Zi intentionally made the scent of the roasted meat even stronger.
The group of warriors who had fought all day were all excited and overjoyed!
After all, there was roasted meat to eat?
When the dragon knights rushed to Long Yi’s camp, large chunks of roasted meat were sizzling on the fire, letting out its juices. Little Zi was skillfully sprinkling more spices on it.
Gulp.
Several warriors swallowed their saliva simultaneously. Lin Qi looked at Long Yi and couldn’t help but smile. This kid was indeed kind-hearted. Even though he didn’t participate in the battlefield, he took the initiative to handle logistics, and even knew to reward his brothers. Maybe he had been too harsh on him?
Watching the roast meat slowly lose its bloody color and turn into a delicious golden-brown surface, Long Yi skillfully lifted a piece of meat, the short knife spinning in his hand, he cut out a full plate of roasted slices.
Enough for ten people to eat! And there were still several pieces roasting on the fire!
Awesome!
It was really awesome!
"The sauce is ready." Little Zi put a small plate of secret sauce on the large dish. The rich aroma spreading in the air was simply intoxicating!
Long Yi smiled and picked up the large tray, looking at Lin Qi with a smile. Lin Qi also looked at Long Yi with a smile and nodded slightly.
Then. Long Yi suddenly turned around and went to the soldiers of the Red Dragon Empire who were gnawing at their rations. He said warmly, "Brothers, you’ve worked hard. Have some roasted meat."
"And there’s soup!" Mosquito came over with a pot full of delicious ingredients.
"Everyone, feel free to eat. There’s more here!" Ai Lin shouted from afar.
"With my skills, you guys can rest assured! This is a craft from the distant White Dragon Empire!" Little Zi proudly declared.
"Ah, by the way, I am also making the Crispy Pancakes of the White Dragon Imperial City flavor. Please be sure to taste it later." The chef laughed heartily.
Stunned.
Completely stunned.
Lin Qi was stunned, the dragon knights of the White Dragon Empire were stunned, even the army soldiers of the Red Dragon Empire were stunned.
Lin Qi didn’t expect that Long Yi, this bastard, actually gave the delicious roasted meat to others! To others! To others!
Suddenly, there were outbursts of curses.
"Long Yi, you bastard! You have no shame! No humanity!"
The soldiers of the Red Dragon Empire watched the huge roast dish, the aroma almost engulfed them. Their hands were trembling, almost ready to pick it up, but seeing the eyes of the White Dragon Empire dragon knights around them start to glow, their survival instinct overwhelmed their taste buds.
"We...we’re full, thank you."
The captain said.
"Don’t mention it, you can share it with your brothers as a snack. Ah yes, this beef has a different flavor after air-drying!" Long Yi said.
"No...it’s really not necessary, we are very grateful for your kindness, but we really can’t eat it." The captain was already nearly suffocated by the resentment of the White Dragon Empire dragon knights around him.
"Hey, don’t be so polite, we are all brothers! Brothers are those who charge and fight together on the battlefield! Think about it, although we’ve known each other for a short time, but today, for a ’full day,’ we were together, facing the danger of enemy attacks at any time. We maintained this ’high tension’ for a ’full day.’ If it weren’t for your protection, how could our squad have gotten to where we are today? Therefore, our little ’reward’ is deserved." The sincere smile on Long Yi’s honest face left no room for rebuttal as he thrust the large tray into the captain’s hands.
The poor captain, bearing the tantalizing fragrance in his face. Looking again at the green-eyed dragon knights of the White Dragon Empire in front of him, he suddenly plucked up the courage.
"Then, thank you!"
With that, the captain turned around with a large plate of roasted meat and returned to his team, where praises were immediately heard. Long Yi sent over one piece of roasted meat after another, due to the precise timing, the roast meat came out of the oven very quickly and was handed over to the soldiers of the Red Dragon Empire.
Then, the delicious soup and sweet pancakes. Life couldn’t be better, even at home, right?
Just then, Long Yi took out his trump card!
Two barrels of ale!
"Come on, brothers! Try this malt beer, a special product of the White Dragon Imperial City!"
Alcoholic beverages are always the warriors’ favorite, for warming up, alleviating fatigue, and even for bracing courage. Each country has very famous wines. The malt beer of the White Dragon Imperial City is one of the more famous ones, with a light taste of malt, soft and fluffy on the palate, but quite potent! Although it’s not a rare wine, its production volume is not high, and it’s a collector’s item for alcohol lovers worldwide!
And Long Yi somehow managed to bring two barrels!
And you couldn’t accuse Long Yi of breaking the rules! Because he doesn’t drink a drop of it!
Damn it! These two barrels of malt beer should have been ours!
If people’s eyes were red at the beginning, they were now turning green.
"Group Leader, I think, Long Yi has also been here for a long time. Why not let him participate in the attack and defense battle tonight?"
"That’s right, my Vice Captain, after all, Brother Long Yi is one of the most powerful people here. Having him always sit here doesn’t seem right."
"Vice Captain, I have a stomachache! I...I can’t participate in the battle tonight!"
Vice Captain Lin Qi watched everyone helplessly. He hadn’t anticipated at all that Long Yi, of all people, would come up with such a rotten idea - the allure of food and drinks!
And his fearless Dragon Knights would betray him because of this small bait!
Watching Lin Qi’s expression, Long Yi couldn’t help but scoff. The lure doesn’t lie in how valuable it is, it’s about when it appears! For example, if someone has just won $50 million in the lottery, and someone else appears offering $100,000 to provoke his treason, he’d certainly scoff at the offer. On the other hand, someone who’s in debt by $10,000 due to fear of death and being hunted down, if you offer him the same amount, he’d certainly die to serve you.
The timing of the bait is much more important than the size.
"Alright! Long Yi! You want to join the fight?!", Lin Qi suddenly roared.
Long Yi’s ears perked up. Then he pretended to ask casually, "Of course I do."
"Good! Later on, you assume the role of the vanguard, launch a surprise attack on the enemy’s village, cause chaos, and buy time for our main forces," Lin Qi required.
"Done deal! Alright brothers and sisters, let’s get ready to move out!"
Long Yi cried excitingly.
"Wait! Did you not understand? This is a surprise attack! It’s you! Only you! No teammates! No dragons! You can only bring your little maid with you!" Lin Qi roared.
"Huh?"
Amid the excitement, Ai Lin, Wesley, the chef, and the mosquito were stunned. One person, no dragons? What kind of surprise attack is this! It’s a suicide mission!
"Vice Captain Lin Qi, Group Leader, are you certain?" Long Yi suddenly quieted down and looked seriously at Lin Qi.
"Yes, I’m certain, I believe you are more than capable of undertaking this mission," Lin Qi responded.
Excellent!
Long Yi was overjoyed! A mission to infiltrate the enemy’s lines! A perfect assignment! Awesome! I love it!
"Brother Long!"
Ai Lin hurried worriedly.
"Don’t worry! This mission is simply a piece of cake!" Long Yi happily waved his hand.
"Come on, my dear Vice Captain, my dear brothers. Take a rest, the chef will place a high standard barbeque for everyone. Please give me an hour."
Having said that, Long Yi and Little Zi dashed off delightfully.
"An hour? What does he mean?" Lin Qi was doubtful about Long Yi’s vague expressions.
"Roughly, it suggests you launch the attack in about an hour," the chef speculated who was adding seasoning to the barbeque.
"Good! Everybody rest up for a while! After an hour, we’ll launch the final attack while creating confusion!" Lin Qi decreed.
"Great!"
The aroma of the barbeque motivated all fighters.
The Chef had trained himself into a highly skilled chef due to his gluttony, hence his nickname. His skills were undoubtedly top-notch. While the Dragon Knights were relishing their meal, time was ticking away and it was getting darker. An hour’s rest was more than enough for the Dragon Knights to regain their strength and spirit.
"One hour is almost up! Everyone, get ready!" Lin Qi yelled loudly.
In an instant, all Dragon Knights got up, checked their weapons and armors. Some knights summoned their Mount Dragon, inspecting for any injuries.
At this very moment, from afar, a small figure seemed to be approaching quickly.
"Someone’s coming! Keep a lookout!" a scout cried out.
"It’s Brother Long!" Wesley instantly identified the approaching figure using his Observation Technique.
"Already back?" Everyone was puzzled.
Soon enough, Long Yi, dressed in dark attire, approached and, surprisingly, he was carrying someone on his back who was bound like dumplings.
"Long Yi! Didn’t I instruct you to launch a surprise attack and create chaos? Why did you run back? And who is this?" Lin Qi asked, looking at the dark face.
Long Yi chuckled and set the person from his back down.
That person glanced at everyone around and gave a wry smile.
It was Cain, the commander of the Red Dragon Empire’s Dragon Riders!
"Well, I initially wanted to cause some trouble but, all the Dragon Riders surrendered." Long Yi replied.
"Damn it!"
Lin Qi held his face in regret. "Isn’t this just me shooting myself in the foot? Why did I assign him for the task?! (To be continued.
