C1148 Investigate in Secret

1Because Zhou Yan had crippled him a long time ago, the cultivation of the leader of the black-robed Devil Clan had already dropped by several levels. According to Zhou Yan's estimations, if this continued, the leader of the black-robed Devil Clan would die in ten years at most.

"What, my lord, who did this to you?" This Devil Clan asked in surprise, because in his impression, the leader of Devil Clan was usually very powerful. Even if he met a Divine Immortal, he might not be able to do anything to them. After all, the defense of Devil Clan's physical body was very strong, and the toughness of Devil Clan's physical body could also increase his combat strength. This way, he wouldn't be defeated easily.

"I don't know. I'm also investigating right now, but no matter who they are, they're definitely not enemies of our Devil Clan, and they haven't been exposed yet, so I want to wait and see." The leader of the black-robed Devil Clan said.

He was also very depressed. How could he have been ambushed by others? If it wasn't for the fact that he was relatively strong, he would have died right now.

"Then, my lord, you mean that these people who attacked us aren't here to deal with us?" The soldier from the Devil Clan said happily.

"Well, these people's target isn't us, so we don't have to worry. Let's continue to scout the surroundings." With that, the black-robed Devil Clan left with the soldiers.

Only after the black-robed Devil Clan left did Zhou Yan's troops begin to move. However, these soldiers were all very excited right now.

Although they had fought with the soldiers of the other races many times before, they had never been as awe-inspiring as they were today. Therefore, these soldiers were all very excited.

In the eyes of Zhou Yan and the others, these soldiers of the other races were just a pile of experience points, so they would never give up on them.

"General, these non-human soldiers are too weak. They aren't worth us dispatching so many soldiers," one of the soldiers said.

"Hehe, they aren't weak. They're just because we're too strong right now." Zhou Yan explained with a smile. These non-human soldiers were no longer a threat to Zhou Yan, so he didn't mind playing with them. He could use this opportunity to train his Military Training and see what level of strength these soldiers had reached.

"Yes, that makes a lot of sense, ha, ha," said one of the soldiers, laughing.

...

As time passed, all the non-human soldiers were killed.

At this moment, the entire forest was filled with corpses and blood. It looked extremely miserable, and the faces of Zhou Yan and the other soldiers were also much rosier. During this period of training, Zhou Yan's soldiers had already learned to conceal their auras. Otherwise, their strength would increase even faster, and even attract the attention of those Demonic Beasts.

"Marshal, what should we do now?" Inside Zhou Yan's tent, Li Hu asked Zhou Yan.

"Continue to head north and try to occupy a piece of land as soon as possible to build our own Territory." Zhou Yan said.

"Yes!" Li Hu immediately agreed.

"We are almost at our best now, and your training has been hard. I have decided that you will be the main force in the next battle, and I hope you will not disappoint me." Zhou Yan said.

"Thank you for your trust, Commander. I will not let you down!" Li Hu said happily.

Although Zhou Yan was talking about the next battle and not this one, this order was enough.

"Hmm, but this time, don't be in a hurry to succeed. After all, we are the real invaders right now. We have to fight steadily, understand?" Zhou Yan reminded again.

"Understood!" Li Hu and the others replied again.

At this time, Zhou Yan and the others continued to move forward. On the way, Zhou Yan noticed that the people from the surrounding villages were all fleeing for their lives. From the looks of it, they seemed to be in a sorry state.

"What exactly is going on here? Why are the people of these villages running south? Wouldn't that hinder our movements?" Zhou Yan asked curiously.

"Commander, these are the signal flares left by the men last night. Now the whole empire knows that we have taken the surrounding villages, and many of them are fleeing." At this moment, a soldier spoke.

"Oh? It was actually premeditated. It seems that they also knew that we would come here, so they made preparations in advance," Zhou Yan said.

Now, Zhou Yan finally understood why these people would set up a trap here. It turned out that someone had done it on purpose, and their target was him.

"Tell all the troops to hide their tracks, and at night we'll catch them all and kill them. Remember, don't hurt innocent people." Zhou Yan said to the messenger.

There were so many of them now, and if they were discovered, something bad would happen. Now all they had to do was wait until nightfall, and then sneak in and catch them.

Now that all the soldiers had died, the ordinary people were in no danger at all. At night, Zhou Yan and the others also found some houses to hide in. Since they were doing it secretly this time, they did not dare to make a big deal out of it.

At midnight, these people quietly crept towards the city. At this time, Zhou Yan and the others were no longer in a hurry. After all, the city was already in such a state of chaos, and these people did not have the ability to organize a resistance. So now, they only needed to slowly search. It wouldn't be long before the nobles in the city found out about this matter.

Sure enough, just as Zhou Yan and the others were approaching the camp of those people, they heard the sounds of fighting from that direction. It was extremely intense, and accompanied by waves of burning flames, the hearts of Zhou Yan and the others tightened. They knew that the soldiers of Human Clan and the soldiers of the non-humans must have started fighting, which was what they wanted to see the most, because this was the only way to prevent the soldiers of the non-humans from easily retreating, and at the same time, to reduce the losses of their soldiers.

However, Zhou Yan was thinking in his heart, "If all my subordinates are like this, I reckon it won't take more than a few years to conquer this place."

"General, our men have already rushed into those villages. The people of those villages have already surrendered," a soldier came back and reported.
