Chapter 511: Joint Defense of Siyuan Keep
Siyuan Keep was only sixty li away from Liwei Keep.
If taking the waterway, going downstream was very convenient.
Taking the main road was also convenient; one could reach it by first going to Kahndorf Fortress and then crossing that temporarily constructed Pontoon Bridge.
But the march route Li Wei chose was, after crossing the Ness River, to head directly west over a mountain ridge, cross through two valleys and a forest, and then cross over two more mountains before arriving at Siyuan Keep. The journey was nearly 150 li, and the roads were hard to travel.
This area could be said to be the favorite of the Scout profession. The vegetation was dense, the terrain was complex, with jagged rocks, high mountains, and steep paths—it was simply extreme.
But Li Wei did this intentionally.
He led a large army, Brandishing Power, and circled this area for two full laps. A journey that should have been 150 li was directly stretched to five hundred li. In one breath, he forcefully drove out three Scouts hiding in this area, who likely belonged to three different factions.
After all, he was leading an army of one thousand six hundred men. No matter what rank of Scout or Ranger you were, being discovered meant death.
In a sense, for these Scouts, this could be considered a Dimensional Strike.
