Feng Qiwu's army was secretly marching, with Shu Wanli and the aging Fei Lie at the rear.
After passing the last hidden Dead Swamp, Fei Lie suddenly said, "General Shu, I think we should destroy this Dead Swamp."
Shu Wanli was slightly surprised, but then he recalled the art of war, "Fei Lie, you mean to cut off our retreat and force a battle to the death?"
Fei Lie said, "I am a Rat Demon myself, and I know the Rat Demon's personality and habits."
"Cowardly and fearful, greedy for profit."
"If we don't cut off the retreat, it will be difficult for the Rat Demons to fight with all their might."
"And the most crucial aspect of this battle is speed!"
"Only by putting ourselves in a desperate situation can we force the Rat Demons to unleash their greatest combat power."
Shu Wanli pondered for a moment and then said, "I will report to the King."
