Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 1073 Harmless Magic Show

"The ninth team on the right wing sent back a message saying that they seemed to have several bright lights appearing over there, coming from three different directions!"

Under the central military tent, a scout with very fast steps and a bird's beak on his mask, which was different from that of an ordinary soldier, ran out from the fog and reported the news from the right.

The scouts who used to act as spies and pioneers retreated back into the main force as visibility decreased to prevent themselves from being eliminated silently.

At the same time, with their speed advantage, they now act as messengers when the front and rear of the team can no longer see each other and even their voices become blurred.

Hearing the scout's voice, the young man who was sitting on the couch in the tent and wrapped in loose and gorgeous brocade clothes snorted coldly.

"Bright light?... Most likely, this fog-spreader took the initiative to provoke—he thinks his tactics are clever, doesn't he?"

This young man has fair and tender skin and a beautiful face, but his temperament is very tough and his brows look extremely fierce, as if he is ready to devour someone at any time.

"Send three teams to see what clues are hidden in those three directions!"

The young man said this in a cold voice, preparing to give an order.

But this order was interrupted by a middle-aged man who was sitting cross-legged, wearing a long robe and a crown decorated with red, gold and blue feathers.

"Young Master, please make a careful decision. Since they are the ones who initiated the provocation, rashly dividing our forces now will only play into their trap."

The young man looked at the middle-aged man and said unhappily, "Chuju Wuzhu, if we don't respond to the other side's provocation, won't we be at a disadvantage? You previously ordered the formation to shrink, which was already a sign of weakness... Now that the other side has taken the initiative to provoke us, and we still don't respond and continue to avoid fighting, it is a disgrace to Xia Jin's reputation! It's a disgrace to my father's reputation!"

Chu Ju faced the responsibility of being the young leader without any fear. He simply bowed slightly and said, "Shunning the battle will not disgrace the reputation of Xia Jin and your father. Fighting without victory and wasting the lives of soldiers will."

"Blindly charging forward and showing off one's bravery is the province of barbarians and wild beasts. Patience is the virtue of hunters and warriors. Isn't it a pity to give up slaughtering an entire forest just to kill a noisy bird?"

Chu Ju spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, and was in a stalemate with the young leader.

Although the young leader was unhappy with Chu Ju's words, it seemed that he had no way to deal with this witch.

"According to the witch's opinion, what should we do? Should we sit back and do nothing?"

Chu Ju shook his head. "Of course I'm not doing nothing. Young Commander, the scouts just reported that my junior brother Chun Cang has reached the rear of the team... In my opinion, perhaps we can have Chun Cang lead the 300 men at the rear to advance quickly to the right wing, change formation and encircle them. This way, we can clear the area on the right wing without sending a small force into danger in vain..."

Hearing Chu Ju's words, the young leader seemed to know that there was nothing wrong, but he still couldn't help but frown and said, "You said that... What if the trap over there is big enough to eat a hundred people?"

Chu Ju was choked by the young master's words and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Because he knew that the young master was deliberately contradicting him and challenging him simply because his opinion had just been refuted.

To put it more simply, it is "pure argumentation."

If the other party really had the ability to deal with a hundred people, then Mist should have taken action long ago.

But similarly, Chu Ju had no way to deal with the young leader - the two people had similar "say".

The young master could not bypass Chu Ju and issue orders directly, but Chu Ju also had no way to let Chun Cang mobilize the troops without the young master's consent.

This is why Chun Cang would go along - obviously, the person who sent this team also knew who was smarter between the young master and Chu Ju, so he placed a direct junior brother of his who would support Chu Ju in the tent to ensure that his decisions could be better implemented.

But unfortunately, although the young master was impulsive and inexperienced, he was not a real fool - his intelligence level was just enough for him to realize that his father let Chu Ju and Chun Cang in in order to restrain and undermine him.

So, just now, he took advantage of the fact that there were not many demons entering the tower to send Chun Cang away.

At this moment, Chu Ju only has one option left.

He looked at the other guy who had the "right to speak" and was wrapped in animal skins in the corner of the tent.

That guest "wizard" - although his arrival was an accident, at this moment, it seemed that he had no choice.

"Senior, do you have any insights?"

Chuju spoke loudly, and the snow-white animal skin blanket fluttered slightly.

Then, Chu Ju saw a girl with messy hair stand up. She was wearing a cyan-blue base and a black-brown sleeveless wool fabric. She grabbed the snow-white blanket, folded it in half and put it on her shoulders, turning the blanket into a shawl.

After doing all this slowly, she looked at Chu Ju with her eyes, and then spoke slowly.

"My opinion... I'd say it's best to ignore that bright light over there."

Among the two options, the girl proposed a third one.

This made the young master and Chu Ju both stunned.

"Regardless of the light?"

Chu Ju spoke in disbelief.

The young leader also frowned: "This is too cowardly..."

"Sometimes the best way to deal with a provocation is to ignore it," she said calmly. "If you see a tiger or wolf roaring at you on the street, you'll be ready and ready to fight, weapons drawn. But if a frog barks at you, you won't take it too seriously. When you ignore it, it means it's not a tiger or wolf to you, but a noisy frog."

This metaphor is relatively new in Black Marsh, and the young master showed a thoughtful expression.

"It seems to make sense..."

Seeing that the other party had persuaded the young leader, Chu Ju expressed his gratitude and also put forward his own idea: "But if we continue to move forward directly, what if they attack from the flank?"

The girl in blue looked at Chu Ju and laughed, "I promise you they won't...their goal is to trap us."

Chu Ju was a little surprised: "Why do you say that?"

"Because I know what that light is," she looked up at the mist, yawned, and spoke lazily, "The light isn't coming from three different sources, but just one...it's just reflected by the 'mirror' that creates a visual difference."

"I'm very familiar with this method and style." Her gleaming black eyes, like freshly picked grapes covered in dew, were crystal clear. "This isn't some 'witchcraft' or 'wizard'... but the masterpiece and ultimate performance of a highly skilled 'magician.'"

"While magic performances may be dazzling, they are ultimately just visual deceptions... They won't cause any real harm."
