Chapter 43 -43: The Secret Legion

Bai Junjun walked while activating her Special Ability, using the aura of the surrounding vegetation to sense the environment.

As she walked closer, she distinctly felt that besides the increasing stillness around her, the temperature was also rising.

She was familiar with this kind of change in the atmosphere, as if there was a massive amount of carbon dioxide being emitted up ahead.

However, for such a large volume of carbon dioxide to be emitted, it had to be either vehicles or a large gathering of people.

Bai Junjun had a bad feeling.

They slowed their pace, and soon a mountain appeared before them, with a winding path extending forward at its base, which they were now walking on.

Old Uncle Qiu, when he was young, had followed his father to Cold City to sell animal hides and vaguely remembered going around several large mountains.

Seeing this mountain, he suddenly recalled what was ahead.

“Beyond this mountain lies a large plain,”

he said excitedly in a low voice, pointing at the mountain.

Back then, he had marveled at how vast the place was, thinking it would be great for building a town.

His father had said the terrain here was too low, with lots of rain and soft soil on the mountain, making it unsuitable for building houses.

The unchanged environment over the decades made Old Uncle Qiu’s childhood memories clear. Bai Junjun, who was ahead, suddenly bent down, gesturing for Old Uncle Qiu to concentrate.

Eventually, they reached the end of the mountain. Looking down from there, they saw, just as Old Uncle Qiu had said, a large plain concealed by the mountain. At that moment, countless soldiers were resting there.

Bai Junjun estimated there were at least ten thousand people!

At that moment, the soldiers were sitting on the ground, wiping their weapons, each equipped with a Red Tassel Spear and a large sword; their gear clearly met the standards of an Elite Troop.

On the right side of the plain, there was a row of clay stoves; smoke was curling up from them, and the Squad Leader was busy preparing lunch.

As Bai Junjun watched intently, Old Uncle Qiu gently tapped her shoulder, pointing to the left.

Following the direction Old Uncle Qiu was pointing, Bai Junjun saw a large military tent on the far left, with a purple flag bearing the words “Xuanwei” fluttering outside it.

Old Uncle Qiu whispered, “It’s the Fifth Prince’s troops.”

Only his fief would use a purple flag.

Old Uncle Qiu was surprised. Wasn’t it said that the Fifth Prince had gathered his troops at the Fuchi border to challenge the Ninth Prince?

Why were so many soldiers hidden here?

If a real battle broke out, wouldn’t it take half a month longer to reach Fuchi from this position?

Moreover, this layout seemed to be used as a training ground.

Yet, if there were troops under secret training, why was there still a need for mass conscription?

Having been a soldier himself, Old Uncle Qiu was naturally more perceptive than others, hence, his heart was even more tumultuous.

Just then, a cavalry unit galloped into another mountain pass; as soon as they entered, someone stepped forward to take the horses.

The leader, along with four or five soldiers, threw their riding whips to the attendants and went straight into the large tent.

The soldiers leading the horses did not idle either; they skillfully led the horses behind the mountain pass.

However, the area behind the pass was a blind spot from their vantage point.

If they went any further, they would expose themselves to the ten thousand Elite Troops.

Left with no choice, Bai Junjun closed her eyes and once again activated her Special Ability to sense the surrounding environment.

The Special Ability connected with the nearby trees, using the trees and grass to feel the surroundings, and soon, she detected an even denser concentration of carbon dioxide behind the mountain pass.

Clearly, in addition to the ten thousand Elite Troops in front of them, there were even more troops hidden on the other side of the pass.
