It's just a simulation game, how did the fairy become real?

He sent out countless waves of spies, and in the end, every spies that returned reported roughly the same thing.

The centaurs disappeared.

Balth carefully examined the map of the area near Zhenbeiguan.

His gaze soon fell on a place he usually overlooked.

That was a deadly place near Zhenbeiguan!

The cliff is hundreds of feet high, with nowhere to step!

Even skilled warriors would find it difficult to pass, let alone a large number of troops!

He did not deploy troops to defend that area.

Because it is totally unnecessary!

"Someone! Go check this area!"

Even though they didn't quite believe it, Pei Yichen was able to lead three thousand men across this place.

But they couldn't just disappear into thin air; Balth had to find out where Pei Yichen had gone.

Balth had a premonition that Pei Yichen might be a major threat!

News of what happened in the Jedi was quickly relayed back.

Several ropes were left on the cliff, and there were many signs of climbing, but the horses were not found.

Judging from the traces, Pei Yichen most likely abandoned his horses and led three thousand men from the desolate place, crossing their defenses and directly entering the northern lands.

"Don't you want horses?"

"Based on three thousand elite troops, the area they could likely reach overnight is roughly this region."

Balth studied the area behind the defensive line; three thousand men could cover a hundred miles in a single night on a forced march.

But under normal circumstances, it wouldn't run that far.

Within this area, the only thing that could affect them was the supply line behind them.

"If he's after the supply lines, then Pei Yichen is nothing special!"

Balth shook his head. Pei Yichen had gone to such great lengths to cross the defense line, only to harass his supply line.

He even thought highly of Pei Yichen.

The front line has ample supplies, not to mention that a large number of reinforcements are about to arrive behind this supply line.

Pei Yichen's actions against this supply line are tantamount to walking into a trap.

"Pass on my order: have the Eagle Division pursue them and annihilate all three thousand men!"

Infantry could not outrun cavalry.

Since Pei Yichen wants to harass the supply line.

Then give him enough respect!

Five thousand elite troops were quietly withdrawn from the northern camp's defensive line.

They headed straight for the area designated by Barth.

They aimed to annihilate everyone before Pei Yichen could disrupt the supply line.

But what no one expected was that with the relocation of the Eagle Division...

Inside the defensive line, another group of people also left the line.

The Eagle Division's troops were considered the elite of the northern forces.

Their movements are none of anyone's business except for those of the Second Prince's rank.

This resulted in the fact that, in the darkness, although some of the men following behind the Eagle Division noticed their movements, no one bothered to come and ask them anything.

Although they may seem a bit strange, which of the elite troops of the North looks normal?

Following behind Pei Yichen, the group that safely passed through the northern defense line, regardless of which faction they came from, all felt a sense of unreality at this moment.

The entire process involved very few complicated commands.

What they were doing was simply following orders without question.

But the moment they swaggered across the northern defense line on horseback...

In their minds, the idea that the Northern Mighty Army was nothing but the thoughts of a bunch of fools actually arose.

That kind of exhilarating feeling is something that aristocratic families could never give them!

Chapter 19 Edict

Su Chen hadn't expected his operation to go so smoothly.

The traces of that desolate place were deliberately left by him for Balth.

Only a few of the White Feathers from the Ink Feather Pavilion managed to bypass that desolate area.

The main force remained in the central battlefield and never moved.

Su Chen's calculations were very accurate, considering that the target was disguised as the enemy's supply line.

Even if Balthus looked down on these three thousand soldiers, he would definitely not abandon them.

The most likely force to intercept them is the Eagle Division's troops!

They hung behind the enemy, and no one in the entire defensive line would notice them.

By the time Balth noticed this seemingly insignificant information, Su Chen had already led his men into the heart of the North!

The message from the Eagle Division arrived on Balth's desk.

He immediately realized that Pei Yichen had no intention of attacking his supply line.

"No trace of troops was found inside Zhenbei Pass or in the central battlefield."

How exactly did Pei Yichen manage to lead his men past my defenses?

Balth suddenly realized something: if Pei Yichen had never intended to attack the supply line in the first place.

So where will he be?

Three thousand men is neither a large nor a small force. If they were allowed to enter the heartland, they could easily cause disturbances in the north.

"In one or two days at most, the remaining 100,000 troops will arrive at Zhenbeiguan."

Given the current situation at Zhenbeiguan, it should be able to be taken within three days.

Pei Yichen needs to relieve the pressure on Zhenbei Pass at this time..."

Breaking through the barrier in three days is only possible under very ideal circumstances.

If Pei Yichen was inside the pass, he made other arrangements.

The time to break through the barrier might be delayed a little longer.

Balth felt the pressure instantly.

He was the second prince of the northern lands, and he had an older brother.

There is no crown prince yet in the North, so he still has a chance!

It was his idea to forcefully break through Zhenbeiguan Pass.

A failed breakthrough or heavy troop losses would be bad news for Balth.

Originally, Baal thought that by breaking through Zhenbei Pass, he could contribute to his chances of becoming the crown prince.

But now Pei Yichen has suddenly appeared, completely disrupting many of his plans.

"Guerle..."

Balth's eyes quickly fell on the map, locking onto a location.

That was the closest granary to Zhenbeiguan.

This granary was of little importance to the northern army, as they had brought ample provisions with them.

But for the people of the north, this granary was their lifeline.

Natural disasters continue to strike the northern lands, leaving the people destitute and suffering.

Ruoguoerle was knocked off by Pei Yichen.

Chaos will engulf an area spanning hundreds of miles.

More importantly, by passing through that region, they could threaten the mining hubs of the North in a very short time.

This is a series of threats!

"That damn Pei Yichen..."

Not only Guoerle, but also Pei Yichen's three thousand soldiers would be left unattended.

Within three to five days, he can appear anywhere within a range of thousands of kilometers.

The area it could threaten is too large!

"Give me the order!

All members of the Eagle Division must immediately return to the North to search for any trace of these three thousand soldiers!

Once their trail is discovered, they should be executed on the spot!

Notify the rear at the same time!

Pay close attention to the enemy's movements!

While relaying the order, Barth also wrote a secret letter to the reinforcements in the rear.

They were ordered to withdraw 10,000 troops and return to the north to pursue and intercept Pei Yichen.

The Eagle Division has as many as 15,000 elite troops, plus another 10,000 soldiers.

A full 25,000 troops surrounded Pei Yichen!

The moment the Eagle Division moved, it was immediately detected within Zhenbei Pass.
