He had never expected that the princess would specifically explain things to him. Feng Ning felt very grateful in his heart, but at the same time, he was also secretly alerted to the fact that the princess had an esteemed status, so there was no need to explain things to him, a personal guard. It was obvious that the princess had already seen through his thoughts. His attitude was even more respectful, ”The princess has ordered me to obey her orders, but I have been slow. I hope that you can forgive me.”

The scout returned and reported, ”Reporting, thirty miles in front of us, we have discovered a great army of barbarians.”

Yun Zhao asked in a low voice, ”How many people are there?”

The guard's expression was heavy. ”There are at least a few thousand people. The vice commander has already gone to investigate.”

A moment later, the Cloud Concealed Flying Horse returned. Its face was heavy as it said, ”Princess, there is a great army of the wild humans in front of us. There are roughly five thousand people.”

”Get down from the horse and rest here for a meal. All of you, come here.”

Yun Hai and the rest followed Yun Zihuang. They opened the military map, Yun Yin told them about the enemy's position and situation, and a few of them studied it in a low voice. She looked at Feng Ding and said, ”We are barbarians from the northern region. We have passed through the barbarian army from the barbarian race. What do you think?”

”This general will try his best.”

She lowered her head to look at the terrain. The place where the great army of barbarians was located was a place where it was extremely dangerous to stay. On one side of the road was a sheer cliff, while on the other was a rocky terrain. If he took a detour, not only would he have to travel a great distance, but he might also have to face the people from the northern region and the barbarians.

Yun Hai said in a low voice, ”Your subordinate will sneak in to take a look.”

”Grandpa Hai, you don't understand what they're talking about, but even if we go, we won't be able to find out anything. Let's try it out first to see if we can confuse them.” Fortunately, he was a wild human. If he were to meet someone from the northern region, he probably wouldn't be able to hide it from them. It's a promise. Who knows the language of the wild humans? ”

Feng Ming called out to the two Iron Guards: ”Princess, the two of them can understand some of the wild humans' language and can even speak some of it.”

She lowered her voice and said a few words to the two of them, and the two Iron Guards obeyed her orders and left. As the sky gradually darkened, the personal guards fed the horses and laid down to rest. There might be a fierce battle tonight. There were five thousand barbarians in front of them. They were more ferocious and stronger than the barbarians of the northern region. There were only a thousand of them.

The starry sky was beautiful, just like her world. It was filled with vast stars, and the fresh and pure air carried the fragrance of leaves and grass. At this moment, it was extremely tranquil, as if they were far away from all the battles and massacres. In the middle of the night in the mountains, the insects were gently singing, creating an even more tranquil atmosphere.

However, Yun Zihuang was not in the mood to do so. To enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Northern Frontier, she pointed at the map as she moved forward inch by inch. How many obstacles were there in front of her?

With today's speed, she would arrive at Black Bear Valley tomorrow night. Compared to the time limit that Ouyang Baofeng had given her, she was one day behind. However, the road ahead would only become harder and harder, and it wouldn't be as smooth as before. They could not stay here. The people of the Northern Region had been killed by a thousand elite soldiers. It was impossible for them to not notice anything after a day had passed. They had to make it to the Black Bear Gap before the northern troops caught up.

If the people from the Northern Territories found out, their northern warriors would be like pebbles thrown into a river when surrounded by the barbarians and people from the Northern Territories. The most they would be able to do was cause a ripple.

”Reporting, princess, the scouts of the wild humans are approaching, please make the decision.”

Yunhai frowned slightly. It was impossible to avoid the scouts of the wild humans. Although there were not many personal guards, in the silent night, those scouts would definitely find out if they wanted to move.

Feng Ding said in a low voice, ”Princess, this general will lead people to become scouts for the wild humans.”
