Chapter 1188: Chapter 640: Zhao Douan’s Despicable Methods, Infiltration of La Garden (5k)_2

Glibly... Zhang Yan Yi chuckled and shook his head, saying, "Now I understand how you’ve won His Majesty’s favor."

Man Gu, almost buried in the ground, was still alive and struggling to lift his head. Hearing their casual conversation, his heart was shaken.

He spat out a mouthful of foul blood, eyes wide open, "You are Zhang... Zhang Yan Yi... and... Zhao... Zhao Douan?"

At this moment, could he not understand their identities? But the enormous shock caused his brain to short-circuit, unable to comprehend why these two would quietly appear here.

And the Clan Leader was completely unaware? This should not be...

"Bang!" Zhao Douan lifted his right foot and casually stomped Man Gu’s head down, looking down coolly, "Did I ask you to speak? Answer my question. When did you plan to move against Yunfu? How many troops were deployed?"

Man Gu’s heart sank, knowing he was likely doomed, "You... don’t even think..."

Another stubborn one, Zhao Douan turned his head and gestured to Yu Xiu.

The flying sword in Yu Xiu’s hand sliced off a Liao person’s head with a "pff", causing a burst of screams.

Man Gu laughed bitterly, "Do you think... I’ll be threatened by these despicable means? I absolutely won’t..."

"Who asked you?" Zhao Douan looked down at him strangely and then towards Yu Xiu, "Help me translate, tell them if they cooperate, I’ll spare their Great General’s life to exchange for captives later. Haha, a true warrior can bear infamy for the sake of their tribe. It’s time to see who’s the real warrior among them. If anyone refuses to cooperate, I’ll take them back to Yu Country, offer them a high position and announce it, letting the entire Liao Clan know they’re traitors who sold out to their enemies, accomplices in killing the Great General. Oh, and remind these guys, even if they don’t speak, we can use magic to search their souls."

"You!!!" Man Gu’s eyes widened, desperately lifted his head, before his sight darkened, unable to believe that this Yu Country person was so vicious!

He wanted to shout and warn his subordinates not to fall for the deceit, but before he could say anything, Zhao Douan stomped his head back into the mud again!

Such sinister, heart-penetrating schemes... Yu Xiu gave Zhao Douan a strange look and reluctantly translated his words for the Liao prisoners to hear.

She understood that to the warrior culture prevalently valued by Liao Clan fighters, death was not terrifying, but losing honor and becoming a traitor was unacceptable.

As expected, upon hearing Zhao Douan’s threat that cooperation would be rewarded with high position and monetary gifts, the group of prisoners struggled internally.

And once they heard Zhao Douan’s questions weren’t about sensitive topics, they finally gave in to this despicable Yu person.

Next, Zhao Douan questioned them, assisted by Yu Xiu as a translator, finally obtaining the intelligence he cared about.

Yu Xiu said, "They said the Liao Clan’s main army left ten days ago, led by the tribe’s foremost warrior. However, their Clan Leader hasn’t left and remains in the temple within the Great Village."

"Besides the foremost warrior, there’s another special ’Counselor’, who is a Yu Country person representing the Clan Leader’s will at the frontline."

Zhao Douan froze for a moment, a traitor among them?

He frowned, "A Yu Country person? Who?"

Yu Xiu replied, "They couldn’t say, only knowing that two Yu Country people arrived in the Great Territory over ten days ago, welcomed by the Clan Leader. One of them, a martial artist, carried a large spear, quite strong."

Zhao Douan paused, instinctively thinking of a name, "Could it be Xu Jianwen?"

A powerful martial artist using a spear certainly fits Qi Yuchun’s description.

Yet when did Xu Jianwen make contact with the Alien Race? Even as the Royal Family’s Second Prince, defeated version notwithstanding, it’s unreasonable to act as a ’traitor’... right?

Zhang Yan Yi glanced at him but said nothing.

Zhao Douan continued his careful inquiry, but regrettably, though these warriors belonged to the Imperial Army, their rank wasn’t high enough to know more.

"Ask them why they discovered us so quickly." Zhao Douan suppressed his doubts and changed the question.

Yu Xiu said, "They claimed a magician crept near the Great Village stealthily, suspected as a spy after being discovered by them, hence Man Gu pursued. The magician was strong enough to be chased for a long time without dying. Midway, Man Gu detected a disturbance from our side, thus switched targets to find us, suspecting we were accomplices with that sneaky magician."

A magician sneaked in too? Which expert has such audacity? Zhao Douan looked odd.

He didn’t recall Zhao Shixiong having any formidable magicians under him.

However, indeed, hidden among Yu Country’s martial world are some hermit experts, like Zhang Yan Yi’s several disciples are also wanderers of the martial world, whereabouts unknown.

Noting these two pieces of information, he asked more, but when touching on sensitive matters like specific troop deployments, this group either knew nothing or resolutely shut their mouths, not speaking even under threats of promotions.

"Forget it, that’s enough." Zhao Douan finally squeezed out their value, casually said, "I keep my word, since they’re so cooperative, let them die honorably."

If you’re going to silence them, just say so... Yu Xiu felt stifled, so she simply controlled her flying sword to decapitate them one by one.

Soon, only a pile of corpses remained on the ground.

Zhao Douan stomped hard, "crack," sending the heavily injured and dying Man Gu to meet his Laba God.

Such a powerful warrior died so miserably, without sound or breath.

Due to Zhang Yan Yi’s prior magic sealing the surroundings, none of the commotion here spread out.
