Using such means, to be honest, he could probably be sure that these people were merely harassing them from afar, perhaps not even intending to harm them, but simply using this method to disturb them.
Most of the shells didn't even cross the border.
This was likely just to annoy them and prevent them from celebrating the New Year.
Looking at the locations marked on the map earlier, none of them were within the Dragon Country's borders. They probably intended to harass them a few times and then leave quickly. Since it wasn't within the Dragon Country's borders, they likely assumed the Dragon Country's people wouldn't pursue them.
But...
This was the Northern Frontier.
Wouldn't they learn their lesson?
Ye Chen shook his head. Last year, another group had done the same thing, and then...
Brother Xiao had taken him and the Nether Doctor, and the three of them had crept out stealthily. Without anyone noticing, they had annihilated that entire squad.
This time, Brother Xiao wasn't here, and he hadn't made a move either.
However, the disciples of the Misty Immortal Palace should be more than capable of handling this, right?
"Senior Disciple Brother, our numbers are so mismatched, are we really going to be okay?"
"Don't worry," Wu Zongshen said confidently. He had already memorized all the positions. He said, "Ye Chen won't have us do anything impossible. Besides, I've heard a little about Ye Chen and Lin Xiao these past few days."
"Back then, they worked in teams of three and dealt with many opponents like this."
Wu Zongshen had heard many times about Lin Xiao leading two people out and, within the time it took to eat a meal, annihilating a large group of enemies outside.
Although it sounded somewhat miraculous, upon closer thought, he understood.
At that time, Lin Xiao was either at the Ming Xin realm or the peak of the Dong Xuan realm. Most of the opponents outside were ordinary soldiers, or perhaps slightly stronger cyborgs. In terms of strength, they were naturally no match for Lin Xiao and his companions. Therefore, Lin Xiao and his two companions minimized their targets, broke into smaller units, and directly blended into the night. This was far more effective than a large group charging out.
They were now facing an almost identical situation.
Ye Chen had placed the responsibility of making arrangements entirely in his hands, implying that he wanted him to discover these things and make the plans. As the Senior Disciple Brother, he indeed needed to fulfill this role.
"Alright, Chen An, you and your two junior disciples, go over here..."
As he walked, Wu Zongshen arranged all the junior disciples into squads, each with a very clear objective. He narrowed his eyes, looking in a certain direction in the darkness, and said, "Go!"
Everyone transformed into shadows and melted into the darkness.
"What is going on upstairs? Provoking the Dragon King Army again at this time? Have they forgotten the results of past provocations?"
On a small hill, a squad of more than ten people was stationed. They had clear divisions of labor and were well-trained, but one of them, holding binoculars and looking towards the Dragon King Army encampment, couldn't help but complain.
They were the eyes placed here by the United States. Normally, they wouldn't come out and do anything, but for some reason, the superiors had ordered them to act secretly this time. They weren't supposed to do anything extra, just fire some shells to threaten them.
"I heard that Lin Xiao wiped out an entire experimental base..."
