Chapter 1289

If his method could happen to align with what Lord Xuan Wuji, the Legion Commander, had in mind, then he believed the Xuan Wuji Legion would support him. Even if the Night Legion wouldn't openly take sides on the surface, his impression on Lord Xuan Wuji was better than that of his older brother Li Jian, and that was enough.

"Dispatch a reconnaissance squad made up of strong warriors to scout ahead, leaving secret markers along the way—one marker every hundred meters is required, and in case of sudden situations, markers can be every ten meters, left frequently over short distances… to give the main army advance warning!"

"Once we know roughly where the enemy kingdom's forces are located, we can take advantage of the night to wipe them out… right now is precisely the best time to march!"

"Very good!"

Lord Xuan Wuji applauded; this aligned perfectly with his own thoughts, and a clear flash of approval crossed his eyes. This approval was also noticed by Li Chun, who knew he had initially gained Lord Xuan Wuji's recognition!

"Old Lei, what do you think?"

"Not bad. Let's do it according to Your Highness's wishes."

The three leaders worked out the various details of the plan, then immediately issued the orders.

The five strongest scouts within the Night Legion were tasked with carrying out the mission, led by Lord Xuan Wuji's deputy general. The three of them urged them to be careful, careful, and careful again along the way—their objective was simply to discover the region where the enemy was located; the rest could be discussed afterward.

The main army would set out half an hour after the reconnaissance squad departed; the entire army was forbidden from making any sound!

Keep footsteps light, march on foot throughout. The limbs and mouths of the horses and thunder beasts must also be wrapped in white cloth to prevent any sound from being made, or frequent tremors from the earth from drawing the enemy's attention.

It was already afternoon to begin with, and evening arrived in no time.
