Chapter 159
After Han Wang was sent to the rear for recovery, only Yang Guanfeng and Yingxuan remained in the squad. Following reorganization, both were assigned to a mobile unit of eight members.
The mobile unit answered directly to frontline commanders rather than any specific garrison, deploying wherever needed.
Yang Guanfeng and Yingxuan had barely recovered from their injuries—not even resting a full day—when orders came to march north and reinforce retreating troops.
Departing that night, the team began trekking along the eastern border.
"Squad Leader, why dispatch us? This journey alone takes over ten days. Has the north run out of mobile units?"
A young cultivator who’d spent his first border year in the central region asked. Having served mainly with Tiger-Chasing forces, he knew little of northern affairs.
"The northern border touches both the Eastern Wilderness Seventh Prince and Third Prince’s lands," Yang Guanfeng explained, familiar with Black Tiger Camp’s northern operations. "With open plains dominating the terrain, defensive pressures and battle ferocity far exceed central or southern regions."
He added, "Northern forces also endure constant Tianyou raids—attacks from multiple fronts happen daily. Their mobile units remain perpetually understaffed."
"Hmm… I see. I spoke without proper insight."
