Chapter 314: Chapter 228 Sacrifice

"I have no doubts about your words."

Xu Yuan offered a slight smile, "Li Qingyan, now serving as the Commander within Northern Border City, indeed needs to stabilize the troops' morale, so many things cannot be openly discussed."

He paused,

then softly asked,

"Has Li Qingyan arranged for scouts to investigate those Barbarian Tribes' armies outside the city?"

Without any hesitation, Yuan Hao replied,

"The heavy snow obscures the view. Right after the explosion to the south of the city, Prince Wu Yuan immediately dispatched two teams of flying scouts for reconnaissance."

"What was the result?" asked Xu Yuan.

"The losses were heavy, only three of the one hundred flying scouts returned..."

"Commander Yuan."

Xu Yuan raised his hand to interrupt, "I'm not interested in the casualties. My question is about how many members of the Barbarian Tribes' armies are outside the city."

Yuan Hao was slightly stunned, feeling inexplicably intimidated.
