Chapter 968 - 419. Scout message, unbelievable
December 15, New Yu Era 1332
At the border between Jiuhua Dao and Dongyuan Dao, Wanyan Jun and twenty Commandants under his command stood at the boundary marker. He stood alone at the forefront, gazing deeply in the direction of Jiuhua Dao, while the twenty others remained silent.
Suddenly, a strong wind rushed from the south.
A young man dressed in plain clothes arrived, his skin slightly rough, indicating he was a typical Three Northern Provinces person. His fists were covered with calluses, and upon seeing Wanyan Jun, he immediately bowed and knelt:
"Report, my king. Hou Clan's two hundred Red Flame Army soldiers are heading the vanguard. They have just entered the territory of Jiuhua Dao, and they are marching relentlessly. Their target is Dongyuan Dao. Furthermore, according to the rear secret agents, the coalition of eleven million soldiers and the Red Flame Army are separated by five hundred miles. Even if the vanguard doesn't move, the rear coalition will take at least four days to catch up."
Upon hearing the scout's report, strangely, Wanyan Jun and the other twenty Commandants showed no signs of surprise. They simply lowered their heads, looking at the scout kneeling on the ground, a glint of scrutiny in their eyes.
The scout was bewildered, his face filled with confusion.
"Which town are you from, and who is the Commandant of your town?"
Upon hearing Wanyan Jun suddenly ask this, the scout immediately realized and showed a trace of nervousness on his face, hurriedly bowing and answering: "Subordinate from Lin Gu of Ninth Town Scout Camp, Commandant Yu Yanbei."
After speaking, he cast his gaze toward the twenty behind Wanyan Jun, quickly finding Yu Yanbei among the crowd, and hastily shot him a pleading look.
