Chapter 155 Military Camp
The meal took almost an hour to finish, and Huo Yuhao spent another half hour preparing the sauce before the group finally finished and set off again.
Unlike the original timeline where Elder Xuan led the way, Zhang Lexuan, whose highest cultivation level among the group was only level 87 Soul Douluo, arrived at the western border of the Star Luo Empire almost a day late.
The group came from the horizon, and could see the continuous Mingdou Mountain Range in the distance.
It was dusk, and everything in sight was bathed in an orange-red hue.
Zhang Lexuan glanced at the military camp in the distance, gently raised her hand, and said, "We'll land here. Ahead is the garrison of the Northwest Army Group of the Star Luo Empire. We can't go any further."
At her command, everyone slowly landed on the ground, each one slightly out of breath.
Keep in mind that this journey spanned nearly a quarter of the Douluo Continent!
"Everyone, recover your soul power as soon as possible! Teacher Wang Yan, I'll have to trouble you to talk to the people from the Star Luo Empire later."
Wang Yan nodded and said, "I know, leave it to me."
Wang Yan, after all, was a Soul Emperor, so his recovery speed was only slightly slower than Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao. However, compared to Ling Luochen, who had just entered the Soul Emperor realm, this old Soul Emperor was far more experienced.
In just over ten minutes, after Huo Yuhao and the others had recovered a significant amount of their strength, several figures suddenly appeared in the distant sky, flying precisely in their direction.
Apart from the leader, the others were all wearing black, tight-fitting leather armor and were patrol soldiers belonging to the Northwest Army Group of the Star Luo Empire.
Judging from the quality of their equipment, they must be of high status, probably guards of the White Tiger Duke. Wang Yan quickly raised his right arm and fired the Shrek-style signal flare overhead.
With a loud "boom," a green Shrek pattern of light and shadow exploded in the sky.
Immediately, the patrolling soldiers, having pinpointed the location, rushed over and surrounded the group. A quick glance revealed that the group numbered at least thirty soldiers.
The leader was an elderly man with a stern face. He walked at the front and stood opposite Wang Yan.
"Are you from Shrek Academy?"
Wang Yan nodded and said, "I have already communicated with His Excellency the Duke through letters. Our purpose in coming here is to wipe out the Hand of Death gang of thieves."
The old man raised his hand and ordered all the soldiers, "Everyone, lift the encirclement! These are distinguished guests whom His Majesty the Duke has instructed!"
After all the soldiers regrouped, the old man extended his hand to Wang Yan and said with a smile, "I am Dures, the Duke's deputy. The Duke just took leave to return home a few days ago, so I will have to temporarily receive our distinguished guests."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao frowned. Dai Hao had returned to the Duke's mansion? Could it be because of Dai Yueheng and Dai Huabin?
Wang Yan held Durex's hand and smiled gently, "It's alright, it's alright. I just wonder how much intelligence Your Excellency had previously gathered?"
Durex did not reply directly, but said, "It's getting late, and it's too dangerous to set off at night. Why don't you all wait at the camp to rest for a while? I'll bring you some information about this band of bandits so you can learn more about them."
Wang Yan nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you."
The Shrek members then followed Durex and a group of White Tiger guards to the military camp.
The Northwest Army Group's barracks were all built against the mountains, with some even located on the Mingdou Mountains themselves, and some key departments even extending deep into the interior of the Mingdou Mountains.
When the group followed Durex to the entrance, they saw countless heavily armed soldiers patrolling back and forth, their eyes cold and sharp, clearly elite soldiers.
Almost simultaneously, Huo Yuhao and the others clearly felt a strong, murderous aura suddenly erupt. If Durex hadn't been leading them, the soldiers would probably have surrounded them.
After successfully entering the military camp, we arrived at a huge training ground where many soldiers were training, with various kinds of equipment arranged around.
After passing through the training grounds and several tents, Durex led them to a huge tent.
"Since His Excellency the Duke is not here, I've brought you all here to rest. I'll have someone bring you food shortly, so please rest for a while. I'll deliver everything together after I've finished organizing the documents."
"Then I'll trouble you, Lord Du." Wang Yan clasped his hands in a fist salute, saw Dures off, and then returned.
After a short wait, Durex sent someone to deliver food. Not long after the meal, the White Tiger Duke's deputy finally delivered intelligence data, three documents in total.
Wang Yan kept one copy for himself and handed the other two copies to Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao.
After the three of them skimmed through it, they passed it on to the people next to them.
Zhang Lexuan scanned the area and said in a deep voice, "The Death Hand Bandit Gang has more than three hundred members, all of whom are strong and robust men, and one-tenth of them are Soul Masters. The identity of the bandit leader is currently uncertain, but it is known that he is a Soul Master with a cultivation level of at least Soul King. His abilities are also unknown, but it can be basically confirmed that he is an evil Soul Master."
"Two weeks ago, they intercepted a caravan and immediately fled into the Mingdou Mountains. As mentioned before, these bandits are known for their cruelty and murder, so the caravan is likely doomed. Everyone, carry out the mission tomorrow morning. Remember, you must eliminate them completely, leaving no survivors!"
"Furthermore, we don't have precise information about the location of these bandits, only a general direction. So the search ahead will likely be very difficult, and I hope everyone is mentally prepared."
Xu Sanshi couldn't help but ask, "Senior Sister, the White Tiger Duke's White Tiger Guards are quite powerful, why not send them to wipe them out?"
"The Mingdou Mountains are the boundary between Xingluo and Riyue. A large-scale troop deployment could easily cause unnecessary tension between the two countries. The Death Hand bandits have accurately grasped the Northwest Army Group's concerns. Once they learn of any movement here through their outposts, they immediately hide within the territory of the Riyue Empire. That's why they entrusted this task to the academy, hoping to use us to wipe out these bandits."
Upon hearing this, everyone finally understood.
Wang Yan then chimed in, "We'll set off immediately after breakfast tomorrow, deal with these bandits as soon as possible, and kill that evil spirit master on the spot. Now, everyone, get some rest and conserve your energy!"
Everyone nodded silently and immediately began meditating to recuperate. As Soul Masters, they were already accustomed to replacing sleep with cultivation, so naturally they had no intention of sleeping at this time. Besides, they had flown here from Shrek Academy, and their soul power and energy had not yet returned to their peak condition...
