I forged immortality in my past life.

Defeat the Emperor?!

Gao Mingyue muttered to herself, then looked at Li Wuhui in disbelief.

Even though she was extremely loyal to the Daoist sect, she dared not dream of defeating the emperor, who held immense power and whose military strength far surpassed that of the sect alliance.

I just wanted to hold on a little longer, as long as they were resilient enough.

One day, the emperor will find the alliance of sects too difficult to gnaw on and will retreat in defeat.

Brother Wu Hui, even when facing an emperor who commands hundreds of millions of soldiers, are you not afraid at all?

Some even had the idea of ​​testing its strength and winning the battle!

Gao Mingyue felt her throat was a little dry and hoarse.

At that moment, Li Wu Hui handed over a glass of wine. It didn't have a strong smell of alcohol; instead, it had a sweet, fruity aroma.

"Are you thirsty? I specially ordered this fruit wine. Try it; it's sweet and won't burn your throat."

Li Wu Hui smiled calmly.

"Yes, it does taste good."

Gao Mingyue accepted the invitation without realizing it and began chatting and exchanging drinks with Li Wuhui.

The two generals naturally joined in the joyful military banquet with their soldiers, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

However, they are all elite troops of level 2 or above.

They only drank sake and shochu, and even if they drank until they were full, no one actually got completely drunk.

The military's daily routine remains normal.

……

……

The two days passed quickly.

Although a banquet was held to entertain the soldiers, Li Wuhui and his men did do more than just that.

The soldiers still clearly understood their group's objective, and while drinking, their portrayal of the dejected, routed soldiers of the imperial army became increasingly realistic.

Scouts would occasionally come over and explain to them the expressions and daily habits of the remnants of the Imperial Army they had seen.

The military banquet ended that day.

Before half a day had passed, several groups of scouts eagerly reported the news.

"General, I have discovered an Imperial Army of eight thousand men."

"General, I have discovered an Imperial Army force of over six thousand men."

"General, I have discovered an Imperial Army force of over 20,000 men."

"..."

What a coincidence.

Several groups of remnants of the Imperial Army were subsequently discovered.

Li Wu Hui discovered that the Imperial Army of more than 5,000 men, who had been completely defeated before, seemed to have unexpectedly become the fastest to head towards Green Valley.

Everyone else came from different directions.

"Let's deal with the Imperial Army's six thousand-strong force first, see if we can fool them, and then make our move once we get close!"

Li Wu Hui made a decision.

Gao Mingyue took command of the entire army, and everyone immediately began to move out.

Around sunset, several hundred Imperial Army light cavalrymen first discovered the remnants of the Imperial Army, numbering six thousand. The two sides faced each other, separated by several hundred meters, and finally decided to leave each other alone.

After the six thousand remnants of the Imperial Army set up camp...

The several hundred light cavalrymen seemed to discuss for a while, and soon a pitiful remnant of the Imperial Army of three thousand men also came to set up camp, many of them with freshly bandaged wounds.

This immediately attracted attention, and the Imperial Army, with a force of six thousand men, dispatched dozens of men carrying dozens of jars of wine to inquire what had happened.

"Oh, don't even mention it. They were deserters from Green Valley Manor who failed in their grain transport mission!"

"It's said that the newly appointed logistics elder of the Taoist sect is very strict, ordering many unscrupulous grain transport teams to frequently deliver grain. Sure enough, our comrades from other armies seized the opportunity, robbed them, and became retired soldiers just like us!"

"They wanted to join us, but we wanted to return to the main force. We couldn't accept the surrender of enemy deserters, so we fought a bloody battle on the spot. Unexpectedly, we suffered a lot of casualties in the fierce fighting. The general said that he should have accepted their surrender first and then massacred them."

The level 2 elite under Li Wu Hui was an excellent actor. While telling the story vividly, he also hissed and covered his wound, pretending that he was aggravating it.

Dozens of people returned to the main force with peace of mind.

The remnants of the Imperial Army received the news.

Thinking that the remaining 3,000 soldiers were just looking out for each other, they gradually calmed down. When night fell completely, apart from a hundred or so level 1 soldiers who were standing guard in a daze, the rest of them were fast asleep in their tents, completely unaware of the danger.

Since they've become so lax, Li Wu Hui won't let them get away with it.

He personally led a team of more than ten level-three officers and dozens of level-two scouts skilled in infiltration and assassination, who quietly crept up the mountain.

Whoosh!

A level 1 Imperial Auxiliary soldier blinked; he seemed to have just seen the flame of the fire stick go out for a moment.

"It's just an illusion."

The auxiliary soldier shook his head, thinking he was just too nervous.

At that moment, a sharp blade pierced his heart from behind!

Li Wu Hui appeared, but only slowly wiped the sword with silk.

Behind him, all eight level 1 dungeon guards were also dead. After a while, they collapsed to the ground with a thud when a gust of wind blew them away.

Hundreds of guards were all assassinated.

Thousands of elite troops also crept up quietly. They were not in a hurry. They identified the size of the Imperial Army's camp and began assassinating the slow-reacting Level 1 soldiers!

Even the occasional rank 2 squad leader who lived with the auxiliary soldiers was assassinated by several rank 2 elites, who covered their mouths and noses so that they could not make a sound.

Li Wu Hui did not participate in the soldiers' assassination attempt upon entering the camp; he simply silently surveyed the center of the camp.

Whenever an alert officer notices something amiss and leaves his tent, he is ambushed and killed by a nearby rank 3 officer, and he is responsible for dealing with the toughest ones!

puff!

Li Wu Hui's figure transformed into a blur, appearing several dozen feet away. Before a Level 4 Valiant Young General could react, a hole appeared in his neck.

Next, Li Wuhui dealt with five more relatively powerful level 3 officers.

Apart from that, nothing else happened.

[You have killed one level 4 soldier, five level 3 soldiers, and nine level 1 soldiers, gaining 209 experience points.]

[Troop Level: 5 (1131/3000)]

"The experience points gained are a bit low."

"However, if our soldiers suffer no casualties, then the benefits outweigh the drawbacks!"

Li Wu Hui did not dwell on the immediate gains.

This battle is not the end. Only when the combat power of his 3600 elite troops is more complete will he have more room to maneuver!

"Speaking of which, this remnant of the Imperial Army, numbering over six thousand, is led by only a mere fourth-level soldier!"

"It seems they were truly routed during their escape; even their organization was in disarray."

"Next, we still need to maintain a strong position and prevent too many level 4 or even level 5 troops from suddenly appearing among the remnants of the Imperial Army!"

Li Wuhui and others disposed of the corpses of the remaining Imperial Army soldiers overnight.

Aside from the warhorse, they didn't ask for any armor or weapons.

Continue to send out reconnaissance troops to investigate any remaining Imperial Army soldiers that may be approaching.

Since the pretense of a reason worked.

Then let's try the same trick again.

However, Li Wu Hui was not in a hurry to succeed. If the remnants of the Imperial Army believed the news and lowered their guard, they would carry out the assassination that very night.

If they didn't believe it, they continued to send troops to patrol cautiously. This allowed them to rest in peace while observing and learning from the expressions and movements of the remnants of the Imperial Army, making their acting more natural.

Five days have passed.

Li Wuhui took charge of dealing with the high-ranking soldiers.

Gao Mingyue commanded her troops to eliminate four small groups of remnants of the Imperial Army, totaling more than 30,000 men.

Li Wu Hui's experience points are also approaching 2000.

To be honest, this progress is a bit slow.

Normally speaking, we're already close to Green Valley Dock.

Li Wu Hui should have led his troops in a swift attack long ago, engaging in chaotic skirmishes to completely shatter the morale of the remaining Imperial Army soldiers and prevent them from joining forces to attack Green Valley.

However, Li Wu Hui made an unexpected discovery.

These remnants of the Imperial Army did not approach Green Valley.

Instead, they seem to be following the actions of a remnant of the Imperial Army of more than 20,000 men, and have been slacking off and wandering around lately, as if they are planning to change course.

However, there is a problem.

Li Wuhui's expression was strange.

Based on the intelligence gathered by the reconnaissance soldiers in recent days.

They had a strange guess.

These are over 100,000 remnants of the imperial army.

Are we preparing to break out towards Meteorite City?!
