Chapter 3394: Scouting the Enemy

Liao Yaotian then sent a voice transmission to Ye Liuyun, saying: "Those exiled criminals are all desperate men; when the time comes, you must absolutely not go easy on them, otherwise you'll suffer a great loss, and you might even lose your life."

Don't just think about capturing live ones for the reward; first, preserving your life is important. Follow me forward, but don't be too far ahead—charging ahead gets you killed easily. Also don't fall too far behind, or the Leader will punish you.

"Good!" Ye Liuyun also answered affirmatively, not refusing Liao Yaotian's kindness.

There are still a few soldiers who have a good relationship with Liao Yaotian; if they stay together, they are indeed much safer than others.

However, those exiled criminals also know that being captured by them means being sold as slaves, so they will fight desperately when in battle.

Soldiers know that capturing a slave earns them a medium-grade Taixu Divine Crystal, but few dare to capture a prisoner one-on-one. They only take prisoners when they outnumber the enemy; otherwise they just kill them outright.

As soon as Ye Liuyun left the city, he began extending his divine sense to scout the surroundings; even when there was no danger, his frequent use of divine sense for scouting would increase his scouting range.

His current scouting range is only about five li, but it is already much farther than that of an ordinary soldier.

Xiao Han also immediately noticed Ye Liuyun's divine sense, glanced at him, but said nothing.

Soon they reached the designated area, but to find that band of exiled criminals, they still needed soldiers to go on scouting patrols for reconnaissance.

"You! Go ahead and scout; report any news immediately, and do not act rashly!"

Xiao Han immediately named Ye Liuyun to be the scout, feeling that his divine soul power was strong, allowing him to scout farther. wap.

"Yes!"

Ye Liuyun also did not refuse; on the contrary, he felt Xiao Han had the ability to employ people well, and immediately stepped out of the ranks and ran forward.

"This kid is really unlucky; I hope he makes it back!"

Liao Yaotian watched his receding back and sighed in his heart.

Ye Liuyun released his divine sense, walked forward a few more li, and discovered a group of people gathered together, over forty of them, and they had also left scouting posts on the periphery, appearing to be relatively experienced bandits.

Ye Liuyun did not know how strong the martial cultivators of the Taixu World were, nor did he dare to get too close himself, so he first used his Golden Pupil to look over.

Those people seemed to be distributing the loot from their raids, one Taixu Second Level

martial cultivator, estimated to be their leader, was laying out all the items among the crowd, dividing them into countless small piles, while everyone else's faces were filled with anticipatory smiles.

Ye Liuyun scanned their cultivation levels and found that these people were not just two Taixu Second Level cultivators, but three. There were also three Taixu First Level martial cultivators with exceptionally solid True Essence, and their physical bodies also seemed very sturdy.

After Ye Liuyun finished scouting, he immediately rushed back to report to Xiao Han.

"Report to the Leader: I have located those people. There are forty-two in total, among whom three are Taixu Second Level cultivators, and three are Taixu First Level cultivators with relatively strong strength."

"They have also set up six scouting posts, with the posts located three li away from their main force……"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Han also furrowed his brow. If what Ye Liuyun said is true, then the enemy's strength is indeed considerable, and they are obviously experienced.

The distance at which they placed their scouting posts happens to be the limit of what an ordinary martial cultivator's divine sense can detect.

The scouting posts can be detected by divine sense up to three li away, and from the posts to their main force is another three li; together that makes six li, a distance that ordinary soldiers should not be able to detect.

Even Xiao Han's divine sense detection range is less than five li.

So Xiao Han seemingly casually asked Ye Liuyun: "Can your divine sense detect beyond five li?"

"No, but my Golden Pupil is special; without obstruction, I can see at least a hundred li away!" Ye Liuyun also reported truthfully.

He also knew about the distance issue; if he didn't tell the truth, Xiao Han would not believe him.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Han then believed the information Ye Liuyun brought back.

After thinking it over, he still decided to lead the troops to fight those people.

He immediately assigned Liao Yaotian and another soldier, each to lead ten men, to at that time be responsible for restraining the two Taixu Second Level martial cultivators; he himself would make a move, while the others would act together, first killing half of them, then capturing prisoners.

Ye Liuyun also felt that as long as these people work together, dealing with these bandits should still be fine.

Who would have thought the soldiers would have objections.

"Chief, I worry that even with ten of us we cannot withstand a Taixu Second Level powerhouse!" Liao Yaotian complained to Xiao Han.

"Yes, the gap in cultivation levels cannot be made up by numbers alone!"

Another soldier designated by Xiao Han also said.

Xiao Han really knows how to pick people; they are soldiers with relatively high prestige and good rapport.

Xiao Han looked at them, curled his lip in disdain, and said: "If you can't beat them, just go die! If you don't obey orders, you'll be dealt with by military law when you return!"

He is clearly experienced in dealing with these soldiers; talking to them is useless, so he can only threaten them with death.

Liao Yaotian and the others also wore bitter expressions, but having no choice, they could only go select men and make arrangements.

"You lead the way, we set out!" Xiao Han again assigned Ye Liuyun to lead the way.

"Yes!"

Ye Liuyun answered with a sound, immediately took the lead at the front, and rushed toward that band of bandits.

Before the bandits' scouting posts detected them, Xiao Han's divine sense scouting also detected that scouting post.

"Stop."

Xiao Han immediately called a halt to Ye Liuyun.

"Do you have a way to silently take out that scouting post?" Xiao Han directly asked Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun thought for a moment and also told Xiao Han: "Taking him out is easy, but not being discovered by their people is more difficult. Their scouting post is only three li away from them; they will definitely notice."

"That's certain. I just don't want to make too big a commotion, so the later they notice, the better!" Xiao Han said.

"Alright, I'll go take action!" Ye Liuyun didn't say more and immediately agreed.

Afterward, he used spatial power to slip into the void, stepped over in a single stride, then a blade sliced out from the void directly, cutting the throat of that scouting post. wap.

"Full speed ahead! Violators will be punished by military law!"

At that moment, Xiao Han also gave an order, leading the soldiers to charge forward at full speed, hoping to get as close as possible before the enemy notices.

The soldiers were indeed afraid of this tactic of his, because if they truly defied his command and retreated in battle, Xiao Han would really go back and kill them.

So they gritted their teeth, cursed Xiao Han in their hearts, but still dared not be negligent.

Ye Liuyun was also not idle at this time; anyway, killing a scouting post would eventually be exposed, so he also did not follow Xiao Han's orders but directly went to act on the other scouting posts. All using spatial power, after shifting over he would strike each with a single blade.

Xiao Han originally thought that after Ye Liuyun finished his work, he would wait in place for them, but seeing Ye Liuyun actually take the initiative to attack those scouting posts, he not only held Ye Liuyun in higher esteem.
