The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 207 - Eye of the Scout
"really. We are not only outnumbered, but also outnumbered in terms of strength. They are skilled warriors and also great, can not be recklessly attacked if we do not want to lose as hard as yesterday. That would be the second biggest regret of my life."
Mou Zhueyang folded his hands in front of his chest while thinking hard, this precarious atmosphere made his brain hard to think.
Four Surveillance Units have made significant progress in recent years. The increasing members exceed the five hundred mark and they are on guard in the controlled territories.
Destroying them was not something easy, each member was not chosen haphazardly and only those with great combat power could join in.
It was said that the expert swordsmen of the white stream even turned around and entered the group of black streams, the news of one person alone being able to subvert dozens of warriors was an indisputable truth. The Four Surveillance Units had become a great threat trying to occupy the Shang Empire.
Mou Zhueyang smashed his fist into the low table, making the bowl and small cup on it shake making a noise.
"If they would add more troops to us." - furious, the man's eyes flashed by the candlelight in the room.
Xin Chen folded his hands together, sitting cross-legged while looking down. He said it in a quiet room. "For a coward, the enemy will look like a superior army. Though the number does not determine the victory is on whose side."
Mou Zhueyang who was in despair regained hope when Xin Chen said so. "You mean, you have a strategy or a strategy to break into their defenses?"
A small snort sounded, "I mean even if you ask your superiors to add up to a thousand troops, the result will be the same. You said to yourself that one of them could subvert ten men. That means we have to have at least 2500 soldiers to balance them."
Mou Zhueyang's shoulders were all thundered, that was not what he wanted to hear from Xin Chen.
"Then what other information do you have about the enemy?"
The lookout man handed a thick paper made with animal skins to Xin Chen, showing a map covering the border region. There he has marked rivers, towers, fortresses to the main buildings of the enemy. Xin Chen studied it with a frown.
"It's not too broad yet, it can still be kicked out of this Empire."
"You said it so lightly, my lord. They're not what you imagined ...." The scout was trying to tell Xin Chen for having seen with his own eyes how formidable the group was.
"Do I need to make a report, sir? if it includes the name of the master I'm sure the pillars will seriously consider this matter."
Mou Zhueyang agreed with the scout's proposal, but Xin Chen refused outright. "Don't sell my name as you please, if until I hear my identity is leaked then the first person I pursue is you. Keep it all right in your head."
"Bright sir." The man shuddered sinisterly, they were suddenly silent as Xin Chen was busy observing the map, "Two hundred and fifty people did not include the general and the members of the core unit. They're tough enemies."
Xin Chen propped up his chin, he had read a book containing the Art of War written by the military-crazy strategist of the Qing Empire. They each year had thousands of top-tier warriors whose strength could be guaranteed to be strong.
Ten people against 250 sounds impossible, more like committing suicide in a ridiculous way. Never had Xin Chen heard of such a one-sided war like this. He also did not want to involve or ask for help to the government that had rotted since the fall of Renwu City.
"If we win this war, then the name of the soldier will have a place in society. Emperor Qin will definitely consider us, the imperial palace is too peaceful compared to the chaotic circumstances outside. I hope one day, one of us will replace those rotten leaders who call themselves heroes" one of the soldiers said.
The others were curious as to what Xin Chen was pondering. "Sorry sir, is there something that is bothering you? We might be able to help, even if not much."
"I've come to the Valley of the Gods." They listened to what Xin Chen said. "This map is completely different from my memory. There are no rivers or lakes there, only lowlands surrounded by hills. In this section, it is impossible to erect a tower because of the steep land. In another sense this map is a lie, they first take action to fool us."
Mou Zhueyang scolded, "Damn, it hasn't been anything them-!" The man did not continue the sentence because he was too angry. Xin Chen's calmness made him disinclined to shout as he usually did. The other soldiers understood Mou Zhueyang's panic because the man was. Rash would only lead them to defeat, Mou Zhueyang tried hard not to overdo it.
"Then what can we do to get rid of them?" The other soldiers started to get nervous.
"Yes, Sir. We are out of sense to confront them. In any case we won't be able to make them submissive, they have a lot of spies in the Shang Empire."
"First of all we must ensure the strength of the enemy, you," Xin Chen's orders pointed to the spy. "Find information about the strength of the members of the Four Surveillance Units."
"Who among you excels at running speed?"
Three people raised their hands.
"Good, three of you are on rescue duty." Xin Chen opened the map and pointed out a few dots, "You guys split up at these three points, disguise as you can. Count on the speed of the feet to save the slaves. Take them to the place I showed them."
The three people understood.
The other six put on a tense face waiting for their part, usually the latter would receive quite a difficult mission. From Mou Zhueyang's observation that they would most likely face 250 people at once.
"Three others diverted the enemy's attention so that the group could enter the enemy base safely. The rest ensure the enemy's supplies of food and weapons are not eliminated. That's all."
"Then Sir? What about those 250 people? Is that all we can do? I ... I can not agree, if it is not terminated one day they will expand the territory of funds slaughtering the residents again. I with a heavy heart could not accept that plan."
Mou Zhueyang put on a stern face, unable to accept Xin Chen's unreasonable proposal. Instead of returning the territory instead they only made small attacks, one day the Four Surveillance Units will retaliate three times and only bring misery to others.
"Why are you worried about them?" Xin Chen highlighted Mou Zueyang, "We already have hundreds of people who will be standing behind us."
Mou Zhueyang's forehead crept in, "Whose messenger, sir? Are you indeed assigned Emperor Qin to deal with this matter?"
"No. I'm just saying we have a lot of troops behind us."
"Who are they the second Young Master Xin?"
"People at Shangyu Bridge."
"Master, it's not good to say it. They're all dead."
Xin Chen briefly smiled, subconsciously making Mou Zhueyang's nape cold. "Just because they're dead, they'll be an invincible force if they're in good hands."
