Chapter 279: The Day of the Decisive Battle

The following morning dawned.

Ye Ling and the others had stayed awake all night, all gathered within Ye Ling's tent.

"My lord, today is the day of your decisive battle with that waste Xiao Yun."

"Why don't I lead the men to Sky Desert River and hold Xiao Yun's forces at bay while you return to the Northern Liao court, seizing the chance to retake command of the Northern Liao army in one fell swoop?"

Agudza's throaty voice boomed across the tent.

Ye Ling glanced at him and said with a light chuckle, "As the Northern Liao King, why would I engage in such tactics?"

"What is mine, no one can take away…"

Hearing this, Agudza fell silent, understanding Ye Ling's intent.

As the Northern Liao King, Ye Ling naturally intended to reclaim what was his in an upfront and honorable manner, not by seizing an opportunity for a stealthy theft.

Unbeknownst when, a streak of dawn's early light appeared in the eastern sky.
