"Boss, look how we're doing."
After Zhang Meng recovered from his joy, he immediately asked for credit.
"Boss, what are you..."
Under the confused eyes of the group, Li Dao dragged two corpses over.
Li Dao said in a casual tone, "I just killed two innate warriors. Although they are not very strong, they should still be of some value. I will take them back to see if I can exchange them for some military exploits."
Everyone: "???"
Kill...two innate warriors?
Not very strong?
Some value?
In exchange for military exploits?
Why does this sound so weird both inside and outside the words?
These are two innate warriors.
You must know that their commander-in-chief Zhao Tong is just an innate.
This random person was a man of the level of a thousand captains, but he was slaughtered as if he were an animal.
They knew their boss was strong, but they didn't expect him to be so strong.
The innate warriors didn't take it seriously at all.
Seeing that several people were distracted, Li Dao clapped his hands and said, "Okay, come to your senses, clean up the bodies and return to the Huangsha Town camp."
He then glanced at the cattle and sheep around him and reminded, "Find a way to bring these cattle and sheep back as well."
Xue Bing looked confused, "Boss, what do you need these cattle and sheep for?"
"In exchange for money, where do you think the ointment you used for training came from?"
"..."
After burning incense, everyone quickly cleaned up the body.
It was fast when they came out, but very slow on the way back because they had to drive cattle and sheep.
Xue Bing looked at the corpses carried behind him and couldn't help but ask, "Boss, do you know who these northern barbarians are? Why did they attack us?"
Hearing this, Li Dao looked at the corpses and said, "Judging from the marks on their clothes, these people should be from the Tamu tribe of the Northern Barbarian Dynasty."
Speaking of the Tamu tribe, Li Dao couldn't help but think of the days in the death row camp.
Almost every death row mission has something to do with the Tamu tribe, but this time they did not expect to meet again.
"Tamu tribe?"
Xue Bing frowned and said, "What exactly do they want to do?"
Li Dao replied, "What they do is none of our business at the moment. We should go back and let Commander Zhao take care of himself."
Although he said this, he already had some thoughts in his mind.
After all, some things are traceable.
If what he thought was true, then this plain would be interesting.
...
Soon after, everyone returned to Huangsha Town.
In the main military tent.
"What? You were patrolling the buffer area and were attacked by the Tamu tribe of the Northern Barbarians?"
Zhao Tongtong slapped the table and stood up and said with shock in his eyes.
You must know that provocation and this kind of active attack are two different things.
"Well, they include two innate warriors, dozens of acquired warriors, and hundreds of soldiers."
Li Daohui reports.
"so much?"
Zhao Tong asked, "According to the situation you mentioned, how did you come back? Where are the people from the Tamu tribe?"
"Of course we came back on horseback, as for those people you mentioned."
Li Dao looked at the tent curtain and said, "Outside, Commander Zhao can go take a look."
outside?
Zhao Tong's expression changed and he quickly walked outside.
After walking out, they found Zhang Meng and others outside.
"Li Dao, where is the person you are talking about?"
Zhao Tong glanced around, and there was no one present except Zhang Meng and others.
"Xue Bing."
"arrive."
After reporting, Xue Bing took out a sack from his horse, threw it on the ground, and then slashed it with a knife.
The two corpses fell out of the sacks, and many freshly cut left ears were scattered on and around the two corpses.
"The two corpses belong to the two innate warriors. If Commander Zhao doesn't believe it, you can check it out."
"Those left ears are what's left of those enemies."
"I won't give you any credit for those acquired warriors. Just treat them as discounts and give them to me according to the military exploits of ordinary soldiers."
"There are also some cattle and sheep that can be exchanged for resources for me. I'll give you a 20% discount."
Li Dao said carefully from the side.
However, in Zhao Tong's ears, he only heard the first sentence.
The two corpses belong to two innate warriors?
He couldn't believe it, so he immediately stepped forward and put his hand on the corpse, transferring his innate true energy into the corpse.
After a moment, Zhao Tong's expression changed, and it turned out to be the corpse of an innate warrior.
Because when the acquired warrior breaks through to the innate warrior, the veins in the body will undergo a transformation, which distinguishes the veins of the innate warrior from the veins of ordinary people, so he can be so sure.
"You killed them all?"
Zhao Tong looked at Li Dao in surprise.
"Um."
Li Dao nodded.
Hearing this, Zhao Tong kept looking at Li Dao up and down, and finally couldn't help but said, "You really can't practice?"
"How about you give it a try?"
After saying that, Li Dao raised his hand.
Zhao Tong didn't say anything, he directly pinched Li Dao's wrist and entered the innate true energy.
After a few breaths, Zhao Tong's expression became solemn.
In the end, he was completely stunned.
He circulated the innate true energy around Li Dao's body, not even a hair on the veins was visible.
But it was this kind of person who killed two innate warriors with his physical body.
"Li Dao, it would be great if you could practice."
While not aware of the veins, Zhao Tong also sensed the terrifying power of blood and blood in Li Dao's body. He didn't look like a human being at all, but more like a humanoid monster.
If this kind of person can cultivate, with physical strength and Qi cultivation, it is unimaginable at his level how powerful he will be in the future.
Li Dao looked calm. He had already looked away when he recalled those memory fragments from his childhood.
So what if you can't practice, as long as you can continue to become stronger.
For example, these two dead Xiantian people had practiced hard for decades to gain access to Xiantian, but they were beaten to death by him with three punches and two kicks.
Therefore, even if it is possible for him to practice now, he may be too lazy to practice.
After all, his current strength improvement rate is much faster than that of orthodox cultivation.
Looking at Zhao Tong who was feeling sad for him, Li Dao reminded him, "Commander Zhao, you should first consider why these people from the Tamu tribe attacked the Huangsha Town camp."
"Attack the Huangsha Town camp?"
Zhao Tong frowned and said, "Weren't you the ones who attacked?"
Seeing that Zhao Tong hadn't figured it out yet, Li Dao analyzed directly, "Two innate warriors, dozens of acquired warriors, and hundreds of ordinary soldiers."
"Do you think this lineup appeared near the Huangsha Town camp just to attack one of our patrol teams?"
Zhao Tong finally figured it out after hearing this, and suddenly said, "They can't be here to take revenge on us, after all, we just killed one of their cavalry squads more than half a month ago."
Li Dao covered his forehead. He originally thought that Zhao Tong, as a commander of thousands of men, could think of some things, but he never thought that he was so narrow-minded.
So he continued, "Excuse me, what is the buffer area between Daqian and Beiman used for?"
"Stabilize the relationship between Daqian and the Northern Barbarians and prevent the expansion of the conflict."
"Then if one day the Northern Barbarians cross the buffer zone and launch a direct attack on the Daqian Army Camp, what kind of behavior will this be?"
"war!"
Zhao Tong's expression changed instantly after he finished speaking subconsciously, and he finally figured it out.
"Li Dao, are you saying that the Northern Barbarians are going to war against Dagan?"
Li Dao recalled the information in his mind and combined it to make a judgment, "It is not necessarily that the Northern Barbarians want to go to war against Daqian. It is more likely that a few individuals are restless."
Zhao Tong nodded in understanding and said to himself, "The Northern Barbarians shouldn't be so bold."
You must know that Daqian is not a weak country.
The reason why Daqian can occupy the most central area of the entire continent and have the best geographical environment is because of his power. If he were weak, he would have been carved up by the surrounding dynasties.
In terms of national strength, any dynasty chosen at random is far from enough to compare with Daqian alone.
Therefore, it is impossible for the Northern Barbarians to behave so irrationally.
Zhao Tong thought for a long time and couldn't think of anything. He couldn't help but turn around and asked, "Li Dao, what do you think of this matter?"
Li Dao looked calm and said, "You are the commander-in-chief."
If someone had spoken to him in this tone, he would have been tempted to take advantage of it.
But he couldn't do it for Li Dao. After all, there were two corpses of innate warriors who hadn't cooled down.
Zhao Tong blushed and felt a little embarrassed, but he soon calmed down. After thinking for a while, he said bluntly, "Just help me analyze it. With today's military exploits, I will guarantee you a position as a centurion." .”
Li Dao looked back at Zhao Tong, "Are you sure?"
Zhao Tong patted his chest and said, "If I don't get it done for you, I will give you my position as the commander-in-chief."
Li Dao smiled slightly, "I don't mind if you want to sit for me."
Zhao Tong rolled his eyes and said, "Hurry up and analyze it for me. This is no small matter."
Li Dao looked around, and suddenly his eyes fell on the map of the frontier fortress on the wall inside the camp.
"Go in and talk."
So he, Zhao Tong, Zhang Meng and his party quickly entered the camp and came to the map.
On the map, Li Dao quickly found the location of Huangsha Town.
Based on the signs on the map, he quickly analyzed the geographical situation of the border fortresses of Beiman and Daqian on the map.
At the same time, his mind began to quickly capture some useful information from what he saw.
Probably a few minutes later.
Just when Zhao Tong was about to lose his patience, Li Dao came to his senses.
Zhao Tong immediately asked, "What did you think of?"
Li Dao looked at the map and muttered to himself, "I didn't expect the Tamu tribe to be so big this time."
"What's the meaning?"
Li Dao stretched out his hand and pointed at a point on the map, pointing to a buffer zone between Beiman and Daqian, and said, "This section should be the junction between the Tamu tribe and the border fortress of Daqian."
"At the junction between this buffer zone and the Tamu tribe, there are nearly ten border camps similar to the Huangsha Town camp."
"Among them, the Huangsha Town camp is not located close to the center, but closer to the edge of the buffer area where the Tamu tribe is located."
"The people of the Tamu tribe and the peripheral areas will send troops to destroy and blockade them."
"As expected, he also targeted the other camps and was well prepared."
Zhao Tong was stunned, "What do you mean by being prepared?"
Li Dao explained, "Forgot about the Northern Barbarian cavalry I met on the first day of reporting. From the first day you saw them, they probably started to make plans in their minds. The constant harassment of those Northern Barbarian cavalry is to lower the level of Your psychological defense line to prepare for today's action."
Zhao Tong was shocked, and after thinking about it for a while, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.
"What are their goals?"
Suddenly Zhao Tong asked.
"Target?"
Li Dao glanced at the map, and his eyes wandered for a while and landed on a location.
"Unsurprisingly, this should be their goal."
Zhao Tong looked at the location pointed by Li Dao and his eyes widened.
"Impossible, how could the Tamu tribe be so unwise."
"That is Fufeng Pass, a border fortress that has not been breached for two hundred years."
Hearing this, Li Dao shook his head, "There is no barrier in the world that cannot be broken."
"Especially when everyone sees this as a result, that's often when he's most vulnerable."
After hearing this sentence, Zhao Tong suddenly fell silent.
Because what he said was so damn reasonable that he couldn't refute it.
"Then what do you think we should do?"
Zhao Tong looked back at Li Dao.
"what to do?"
Li Dao scanned the map and said, "First, determine the strength of the troops at Fufeng Pass."
"If I remember correctly, there are 150,000 permanent troops stationed in Yunzhou, and 10,000 are permanently stationed near Fufeng Pass."
"That is, the direct army controlled heavily by Zhenbei Hou."
"There are still 80,000 assigned to various parts of Yunzhou to maintain public security in various places."
"The remaining 60,000 troops have been guarding the vast plains outside Fufeng Pass. There was an unexpected incident in the defense of the northern barbarians at the frontier."
Suddenly, Li Dao seemed to have thought of something, and turned around and asked, "Commander Zhao, do you know where Zhenbei Hou is heavy?"
Zhao Tong hesitated for a moment and pointed to a location on the map.
Um?
Li Dao was stunned when he saw the location on the map, "Shouldn't he and his garrison be near Fufeng Pass? Why are they here?"
Zhao Tong explained, "General Shen will conduct random inspections in major camps on the frontier every once in a while, so..."
"But you don't have to worry. The garrison will not be mobilized. General Shen will only take his personal guards to complete the inspection."
Li said: "???"
