The group continued their journey after a short break.
Since they had already finished their mission, they were more relaxed than when they first departed. The atmosphere was somewhat milder, making Nan Luo felt that they were going on a walk rather than going for war.
Well, it was still technically true.
This time, they were going through another route that was closer to the border with Zhang Xu Kingdom. Based on the map, there were a few villages at the bottom of the mountain.
"The people here should be farmers, right?" Feng Ao Si asked when he saw Nan Luo and Sheng Shan Lang was busy looking at the map. Only Long Qian Xing was busy directing from the front since he was the leader.
"Hmm? Yes." Nan Luo nodded. "There are some farmers here and the food they produced will be sent to Da Yi City."
Da Yi City was the city located at the border between Zhang Xu and Wei Da Kingdom. It was the city where General Duan was staying and still currently under house arrest. But now that Wei Da Kingdom had officially fell, it was more likely that General Duan would be put into use against Zhang Xu Kingdom.
The border of Fei Yang Kingdom had expanded at this point.
"To be placed at the border like this, are they not worried that Zhang Xu Kingdom will raze it?" Sheng Shan Lang asked curiously.
"General Duan should be responsible for this area, so I guess he will come and protect them if there's any trouble." Nan Luo scratched the back of his head. "There are also other commanders in the area, so there shouldn't be any problem?"
"Really?" Sheng Shan Lang was skeptical.
Feng Ao Si blinked his eyes, not understanding what was wrong with having field at this area.
*rustle*
"What's that?"
They heard commotion from the front and some yelling. Looking at the posture of Long Qian Xing, it seemed that they were getting attacked midway. The soldiers from Wei Da Kingdom should all knew that their kingdom had lost, right?
"So, which stubborn fools are still attacking by now?" Feng Ao Si asked and moved forward.
They looked at the forest and saw several people coming forward. However, looking at their weapon… they were all silent.
These people were carrying sickle, broom, or even stick to attack. They were clearly not soldiers but peasants farmers who were living in this area and stepped forward to attack them for some reason.
"Shall I kill them all?"
"Don't kill them!" Long Qian Xing shouted from the front. "Incapacitate them in any way you can without taking their lives."
"Got it." Nan Luo waved his hand and the soldiers stepped forward to block. They raised their shield and then took the weapons from these farmers. As veteran soldiers, it was clear that these peasants were not a match for them.
In the first place, the farmers were not an organized army. It was more like they attacked because they were desperate or something like that.
In any case, Nan Luo didn't think that these people would actually pose a threat to him.
