Chapter 221: Something's not right!

The two armies stood off against each other, gazing across the river.

A thin layer of mist blocked the view, and because the reports had mentioned the strange fog, even though it had become so sparse, none of Weichi Peng's troops dared approach, preferring to set up camp as far away from the riverbank as possible.

Both sides could see the campfires lit by the other at night, and there was something quite extraordinary about this stand-off across the river.

The soldiers on Weichi Peng's side were mostly in a relaxed mood, especially those of the bloodline families.

But they were not uneasy—the stories of their elders and the confidence in their bloodlines filled them with full confidence as they faced what was said to be an army made up of local civilians!
