Chapter 230: Chapter 223 Wolf Soldiers 1

Looking at the situation ahead, there were sentries hidden everywhere, forming a dense network like a sky net and earth trap.

Any smuggler trying to cross this line would almost certainly be caught.

“Wu Mu, don’t envy me for having a wife; you should be able to get one soon, too. Our army is probably going to move out in the next few days, and you’ll have plenty of opportunities to distinguish yourself then,”

Yali didn’t forget to comfort the scout in the tree before leaving.

The army is moving out in a few days?

What does that mean?

Qin Niu couldn’t help but feel alarmed. Could the Nine Insect Gang be feinting to the east and attacking to the west?

Were they assembling a large force on the surface to attack from the Black Water River bank while actually planning to secretly cross the Wash Crime River and attack from the line of Shihe Town?

If that were the case, they could directly reach Black Tiger City in just one day.

Qin Niu didn’t have much feeling about which gang took power. The Black Tiger Gang had never done him any favors.

At least his sense of belonging to the Black Tiger Gang was not as strong as one might imagine.

What he needed to do was to protect his family and friends.

He definitely did not want to see the Black Tiger Gang destroyed.

By now, the sky had gradually brightened, and he was finally able to take a good look at his surroundings.

All around him were rolling hills that seemed to have no end.

The large tree hiding the enemy sentry in front was less than a hundred meters away from him.

Which was very close.

No other sentries had been discovered nearby for the time being.

However, he still dared not act rashly.

As long as he wasn’t discovered by the enemy, there was no problem.

But if he were discovered, it would be like stirring up a hornet’s nest.

It would be best if he could cross the enemy’s alert line without anyone noticing.

After retrieving the Green Demon’s treasure, he could easily carve a bloody path out.

At this moment, the scout in the distance made a move.

He slid down the trunk and then, holding his stomach, entered a clump of grass.

It seemed he was preparing to relieve himself.

Qin Niu was confident he could easily take out this scout. But he wasn’t certain if someone would come to relieve the sentry.

So he did not dare to make a move.

It wasn’t long before the scout returned to the base of the tree, stretched, yawned, and then climbed back up.

Does he eat, drink, and sleep all in the tree?

If no one came to relieve him, it would definitely be good news for Qin Niu.

He could silently take out this scout and then cross the defense line.

After watching for about an hour, he estimated that the scout above had fallen asleep.

Because he could faintly hear the sound of snoring.

On night watch and sleeping during the day, without seeing any other enemy forces coming to change the guard, he was almost certain that the sentries here were all manned by a single person.

Just as Qin Niu was preparing to act, he faintly heard a greater commotion coming from ahead.

It didn’t sound like a single person, but rather a group of people.

At least ten or more.

He quickly hid his figure in the tree and secretly observed the situation in front.

On the hillside, more than a dozen people began to appear faintly.

The man in the lead seemed to be riding a very robust Black Wolf.

The people behind him were riding Grey Wolves, also very large.

These were the Wolf Soldiers of the Nine Insect Gang.

They must have crossed over from the other side of the hill.
