The group rested in the residence of the Flame Brotherhood for most of the day. During this time, in addition to practicing the Purple Talisman Technique to restore his sea of consciousness, Ye Li also ran outside to feed Xiao Jin something to eat.
Of course, his main purpose was not to feed Xiao Jin, but to make them more familiar with each other so that they could cooperate more closely in battle.
Soon it was the next night, and everyone was ready to set out again to attack the enemy's stronghold.
According to the intelligence the Flame Brotherhood has, there are about two hundred people in each of the enemy's strongholds, and it should not be a problem for Ye Li and his men to launch a surprise attack with two hundred people.
After the enemy's first stronghold was taken down silently, although it attracted their attention, they did not realize the seriousness of the situation.
In the eyes of the Tian'e Party, the reason why their stronghold was attacked silently was because the sentries in the stronghold were dozing off. They did not realize Ye Li's ability to sneak in and assassinate.
After some preparation, the group attacked the second stronghold of the Tian'e Party.
The situation was still very good this time. Ye Li once again sneaked into the enemy's interior and eliminated the enemy's sentinels one by one.
Wesley appeared directly in the camp with about two hundred people. After knowing that their side had suffered heavy casualties, the enemy realized what had happened in the camp, and just like the first time, they began to flee.
There were very few people who actually escaped. Basically, everyone in the stronghold died here.
Back at the Flame Brotherhood's manor, Wesley said to Red, "We have attacked two of their manors in a row. They should have noticed our strength and will send more people at night, so it will definitely not be easy to launch another sneak attack.
We may need to choose a frontal attack later, which requires sufficient manpower to cooperate.
Logically speaking, your manpower should not be much different from that of the Tian'e Party. According to our estimation, the total number of the other party and the Sikh family is about 1,500. Of course, most of them are only at the Lingwu stage.
Then you, the Flame Brotherhood, should also tell us how many people there are in your group?"
Hearing what Wesley said, Reid said, "The number of the Tiane Party is similar to ours, in fact only about 700 people, now with the addition of the Sikh family's mercenaries, it has reached 1,500 people, 800 of whom are actually from the Sikh family mercenary group. They used to have only three strongholds, which surrounded their core base like three stars holding the moon. Now with the addition of the mercenary group, their strongholds have become seven.
Our Flame Brotherhood has about 700 people. After getting help from your Yaxi family, our manpower has reached 1,400. We are only 100 people less than our opponents, but the average strength of our people is higher than theirs. After a while of fighting, we gained the upper hand.
Now that we have attacked two of their strongholds, the number of their enemies has been reduced by 400. We already have a sufficient advantage in total numbers.
According to our intelligence, nearly a thousand people from their five bases have been merged into two bases, with guards on the left and right sides of the core base.
The remaining one hundred or so people are their core members, and they are still staying in the core base."
After hearing his words, Wesley thought for a moment and said, "It seems that we really can no longer launch a sneak attack on our opponents. We can only choose to face them head-on.
We still have 1,400 people on our side. Divide into two groups and attack the enemy's two strongholds at the same time, and try to take them down in one go.
After that, we will work together to attack the opponent's core base and completely eliminate the Tian Evil Party."
Hearing Wesley's words, Red nodded and said, "I think so too. The purpose of attacking at the same time is to prevent the enemy from escaping. Otherwise, if they fight guerrilla warfare with us nearby, the time to conquer Emerald City will be delayed again."
After discussing for a while, everyone finally finalized the plan, setting the total number of people responsible for attacking the opponent's two strongholds at 1,300, with 650 on each side.
The special forces team was also divided into two groups, one led by Wesley and Lena, and the other led by Hans, Wilson and Ye Li.
The two groups attacked the other side's two strongholds at the same time, trying to wipe out the other side in one go.
After the discussion, they did not rush to attack, but chose to wait until daytime to fight. After all, it was a siege on the front battlefield, and it would be more efficient to fight during the day than at night.
The visibility at night is too low, and it is difficult to command a battle with a large number of people. A battle with more than 500 people is not suitable to be carried out at night.
After a night of rest, everyone was ready the next morning and headed directly to the battlefield in two groups.
Ye Li was walking with Xiao Jin, but he didn't feel nervous at all. After all, he had participated in battles involving hundreds or thousands of people.
Moreover, he used to be one of the weaker ones on the battlefield, but now he is one of the strongest ones, so the expression on his face seems especially relaxed.
"Ye Li, you don't seem worried at all?"
Wilson glanced at Ye Li and said with a smile.
Before Ye Li could answer, Hans said, "Ye Li is a man of great skill and courage. He is so powerful that he naturally doesn't need to worry about anything."
Hearing this, Ye Li smiled and said, "I think we have a lot more people than the other side, so we won't be at a disadvantage in a fight, so there's nothing to worry about."
Wilson said: "Well, you are right, we really have nothing to worry about.
Once we take over the Emerald City, we, the Baron, will be able to do business in the Chaotic Area, and we can also look for clues around the Emerald City to see if the legend about the Black Eyed King's treasure is true."
When Wilson mentioned the word "treasure", an expression of excitement suddenly appeared on his usually simple face.
Ye Li was stunned and said, "Wilson, is there really a treasure of the Black Eyed King? I heard that it's just a legend."
Wilson glanced at Ye Li and said, “You are a descendant of the Black Eyed Clan, and even you don’t know if there is a treasure
But it's no wonder. After all, the story of the Black-Eyed King's treasure has been passed down for hundreds of years, and no one has really found the exact clues to the treasure, so all this seems to be just a legend.
The clues we got about the treasure this time may just be false news, just like the other news."
Hearing Wilson's words, Ye Li couldn't help but feel a little confused, and asked tentatively: "Wilson, what is the clue this time? What are we going to look for near Emerald City next?"
Wilson glanced at Ye Li and said, "Emerald City is where the Black-Eyed King stayed for many years. We recently found a clue that somewhere nearby, there is a treasure key left by the Black-Eyed King..."
Wilson stopped here and did not say the specific content. Instead, he glanced around and indicated to Ye Li that it was not convenient to explain in detail here.
