Mountain Patrol Military Officer

Chapter 188: Chapter 170: 2000 Li to Demon Country (Request for Monthly Ticket) Chapter 188: Chapter 170: 2000 Li to Demon Country (Request for Monthly Ticket) The night was desolate, the wind howled furiously, and cold light shone on the iron armor amidst the mottled tree shadows.

After the troops from the Ten Thousand Mountains set out from Jingguan City, they marched towards three different directions.

The Seventh Mountain was advancing towards Dingshan Pass, directly facing Youmen Pass,

The Eighth Mountain was advancing towards Muchuan Prefecture, on the west side of Youmen Pass,

There, two Deputy Commanders and several divisions of the Mountain-cutting Army held their positions, organizing the defense line to resist the frontal attack of the Devil Race.

Meanwhile, the Third Mountain and the Ninth Mountain, from the southeast, respectively passed through Guang’an Prefecture and Chishui Prefecture, heading towards Weiyuan Prefecture which had been breached and lost to the Devil Race, aiming to form a pincer attack.

The orders given by Pei Yanhu before setting out were to let the two mountains of troops rely on the backing of Guang’an Prefecture and Chishui Prefecture to hold this gap, to prevent the Devil Race from pouring out from the southeast direction, opening their offensive, and then launching a pincer attack on the other frontlines engaged in combat.

After three days and nights of relentless marching, the Ninth Mountain troops reached Guang’an Prefecture by daylight.

However, the very moment Chen Yuan arrived, he coordinated a cover-up with the local Colonel, leaving most of the troops to set up camp in Guang’an Prefecture.

He then took advantage of the vast night and quietly led a hundred elite troops out of the border.

They were not far from the Ten Thousand Mountains now!

Chen Yuan believed that there must be demon spies in the vast Guang’an Prefecture.

The movement of several thousand soldiers entering the city could not be concealed at all, so it was not suitable to make a big move.

The first thing to do was to gather as much information as possible.

However, after the local Colonel’s scouts went out and none returned, he shifted to a defensive stance.

Chen Yuan did not get much useful information from him, so he personally led a small team of troops out of the city under the cover of darkness, dispatching forces to scout the area!

At this moment, below their feet, was the edge of the territory of Weiyuan Prefecture!
