58: Just as we found out the enemy situation, someone came to kill us

Mo Yan's face remained calm: "I trust my judgment."

Bai Lingyue looked at him deeply, chuckled, and elegantly put away the Origin Stone.

"Alright, then Spiritual Moon will accept it." She bowed slightly, "Thank you, Lord."

"Your subordinate will arrange for the Soldiers to rest now; we can depart anytime tomorrow morning."

With that, she did not linger, turned, and left, bringing with her a waft of fragrance.

The door gently closed, shutting out the wind and snow outside.

Mo Yan withdrew his gaze and looked at Gun Gun, who had already re-entered a state of Cultivation beside him, not disturbing It.

He also sat down cross-legged and operated his Cultivation Technique.

The night passed without incident.

The faint light of dawn filtered through the Ice Crystal Cabin's window, falling on Mo Yan.

He slowly opened his eyes after a night of Cultivation.

His spiritual power increased by 155 points, still 2845 points away from leveling up.

Knock, knock, knock.

A knock sounded at the door.

"Come in."

"Lord." Wang Wu stepped into the room and bowed to Mo Yan.

"You're back." Mo Yan nodded, motioning for him to dispense with the formalities, "You've worked hard. What's the situation?"

"Reporting, Lord, your subordinate has already found the coordinates you mentioned."

Wang Wu took out a simple animal skin map from his Pregnant, on which several points were marked with charcoal.

Mo Yan's eyes narrowed slightly: "Tell me in detail what you observed."

He needed the most comprehensive intelligence to formulate the most secure battle plan.

Wang Wu recalled everything he had seen and said in a deep voice:

"That stronghold is built in a leeward hollow, with a narrow entrance and steep snowy slopes on both sides."

"There are five wooden Arrow Towers built around the territory, and there are figures moving on the towers, who should be sentries."

Mo Yan listened quietly. Five Arrow Towers, this was indeed a problem that had to be dealt with first.

Wang Wu continued: "Inside, the wooden houses are quite compactly arranged, about seven or eight wooden houses, all of similar style."

"I infiltrated and observed the periphery for about two hours and estimated their numbers to be between forty and forty-five people."

"These people all wear unified dark brown leather armor, and the spears they hold are all standardized, just like our Soldiers'."

"Over forty people, unified leather armor, standardized spears..." Mo Yan repeated, a thoughtful glint in his eyes.

"How vigilant are they? Did they discover your traces?"

Wang Wu: "The enemy's vigilance is quite strict. There are always people scanning the wooden walls, and there are also patrol teams outside the camp, two or three people per group, patrolling along the edge of the camp, changing every half an hour or so."

"But rest assured, Lord, your subordinate was very careful throughout, using the wind, snow, and terrain for cover; they absolutely did not discover my traces."

He was quite confident in his stealth and reconnaissance abilities.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded outside the door again.

Cheng Liyi and Li Gang walked in quickly, still carrying a metallic smell.

"Lord!" The two saluted in unison.

Cheng Liyi spoke first, his voice booming: "As per your instructions, all damaged armor has been repaired!"

"Your subordinate used newly acquired techniques to reinforce critical areas, improving defense by about ten percent compared to before."

Li Gang, beside him, also reported: "Weapons have also been refurbished. In addition, your subordinate worked through the night to make five hundred wolf-tooth arrows. The arrowheads of these arrows are ground from wolf's sharp teeth, and their penetrating power is stronger than ordinary iron-tipped arrows."

Mo Yan stood up and looked at the two: "Good efficiency."

He walked in front of them and patted each of their shoulders.

"You both did very well. Go rest for a bit; there will be combat missions later."

"Yes, Lord!" The two brightened and responded in unison.

The talents of the territory performed their respective duties, and efficiency was increasing.

The equipment problem was solved, and the enemy's preliminary situation was clear.

Mo Yan was about to find Bai Lingyue to discuss the attack plan.

Just then—

"Lord!"

An urgent voice came, and the door of the Ice Crystal Cabin was suddenly pushed open again.

Bai Lingyue walked in quickly. Her face, usually alluring and languid, was now replaced by an unprecedented solemnity.

"The situation has changed!" Her words were rapid, and her amber eyes stared intently at Mo Yan, "Within my perception range, a large force is rapidly approaching our territory from the west!"

"How many?" Mo Yan's eyes instantly sharpened.

"At least... over five hundred!" Bai Lingyue's tone was certain, "And their auras are mixed, their equipment varied; they are definitely not the troops of a single Lord."

"I sensed at least two Qi Refining fourth-level Cultivator auras among them, who should be their leaders. There are also some agile scout units in the team, rapidly approaching us!"

Over five hundred people!

Mo Yan's pupils constricted slightly.

This was more than three times their territory's current military strength!

And judging by Bai Lingyue's tone, the other party seemed to be coming aggressively.

Wang Wu, Cheng Liyi, and Li Gang all changed their expressions drastically.

Mo Yan quickly calmed down.

The western direction... consistent with the direction Wang Wu tracked.

The timing also matched; they sent someone to scout yesterday, and they launched a large-scale attack today.

Mo Yan's Adam's apple bobbed twice, thoughts racing in his mind: "That Eagle Country fellow actually managed to call for help so quickly, and it's over five hundred people right off the bat."

"And they even brought two Level 4 Lords. Are they treating me like a soft persimmon to be squeezed?"

When he looked up again, his eyes turned cold, and a bloodthirsty killing intent flashed in his eyes.

"Heh, I haven't even gone looking for them, and they're already impatiently delivering themselves to my doorstep."

"This number, it seems, is more than one Lord. Well, that's good; it's better to wipe them all out at once than for me to go find them one by one."

He suddenly turned and looked at Bai Lingyue: "Bai Lingyue!"

"Your subordinate is here!"

"Immediately assemble all Soldiers! Enter highest combat readiness!"

"Yes!" Bai Lingyue turned and left quickly, her figure transforming into a white shadow and disappearing out the door.

Mo Yan then looked at Li Gang and Cheng Liyi: "You two, immediately distribute the repaired and newly crafted weapons and equipment to all Soldiers!"

"Yes, Lord!" The two did not dare to delay, accepted the order, and hurried away.

"Wang Wu, get on the wooden wall and keep a close eye on the west. The moment the enemy enters your sight, immediately report their specific formation and movements. Don't miss any details!"

"Understood!" Wang Wu accepted the order and quickly ran out.

Orders were issued one after another, and the entire territory became tense but orderly.

Under the shouts of the Soldiers' various squad leaders, they quickly donned their equipment, picked up their weapons, and assembled in the open space in the center of the territory according to the formation Bai Lingyue had trained yesterday.

The Archers quickly ascended the wooden wall, took up advantageous positions, drew their bows, and aimed towards the west.

The air within the territory seemed to solidify, a chilling aura permeated, and a great battle was on the verge of breaking out.
