For over a month here, they have been repeatedly engaged in boring, simple training, and this training only targets the physical body, never assisting them in cultivating true qi.
However, they are not foolish and have naturally discovered that improvements to their physical bodies make the operation of their techniques smoother. For a long time, they haven't had suitable opponents for practice.
Today, they have arrived!
"Have the surrounding villagers been evacuated?" Ye Chen looked at the deputy beside him.
"Reporting, sir, all have been evacuated. Upon discovering the enemy's location, personnel evacuation was carried out immediately, and we successfully intercepted ninety percent of their artillery shells."
"That's good."
Ye Chen said with satisfaction. They absolutely cannot let ordinary people suffer. He looked at the disciples of the Misty Immortal Palace and said, "This is the map of the surrounding area. We are here now. According to the radar, about three kilometers to the north, there is a group of people. Their numbers are unknown, but preliminarily estimated to be below fifty."
"And here, about five kilometers further west, is another group of people..."
Ye Chen marked the approximate locations and numbers of all enemies on the map. Then he said, "Based on the power and type of these artillery shells, they will have a pause of about one minute. During that time, some of them will approach us, while others will prepare for the next round of shelling."
"You need to eliminate all their reconnaissance units within one minute and destroy their strongholds. Can you do it?"
"Of course, we can."
As the senior disciple, after reviewing the locations of these strongholds, he immediately nodded and said.
"Alright, as the senior disciple, you will be responsible for arranging your personnel. I hope to hear good news from you next." Ye Chen was not worried about their failure.
To be honest, with such methods, he could confidently assume that these people were merely launching distant harassments, perhaps not even intending to harm them, but simply using this method to cause annoyance.
Most of the artillery shells didn't even cross the national border.
This was likely intended simply to irritate them and prevent them from celebrating the New Year.
Looking at the locations marked on the map earlier, none were within Dragon Country's borders. They probably intended to conduct a few harassing attacks and then leave quickly. Since it wasn't within Dragon Country's borders, they likely assumed the people of Dragon Country wouldn't pursue.
But...
This is the Northern Frontier.
Wouldn't they learn from past experiences?
Ye Chen shook his head. Last year, another group did the same thing, and then...
Brother Xiao took him and Ming Yi, and the three of them quietly infiltrated and annihilated that entire squad without anyone noticing.
This time, Brother Xiao isn't here, and he hasn't made a move himself.
However, these disciples of the Misty Immortal Palace should be more than capable of handling this, right?
"Senior disciple, our numbers are so disparate, is it really okay?"
"Don't worry," Wu Zongshen said confidently. He had already memorized all the directions. He said, "Ye Chen wouldn't ask us to do something impossible. Moreover, I've heard a bit about Ye Chen and Lin Xiao these past few days."
"Back then, they, working in groups of three, dealt with many opponents like this."
