As the captain of the fifteenth squad of the First Scout Regiment of the Fifth Dreadnought Empire, Botu has a record of never missing a mission.

The fifteenth squad and the captain have a total of fourteen people, all of whom are the elite of the scout group.

They may not be the best fighters in combat, but they are adept at concealment.

Scouts are the army's source of intelligence.

Therefore, almost all the people in the scout group were not professional soldiers, but recruited craftsmen, doctors, farmers, thieves, mercenaries, and even some down-and-out scholars and clergy.

As soon as they take off their uniforms, they become the most ordinary civilians.

Botu is very confident in the 15th squad, every member of the team is carefully selected by him, his ability is reliable, and there is no problem in performing the task.

Receiving this important task, Botu was more excited.

The god of glass crusaded against the evil god King Uji, and the empire also declared war on the kingdom of Uji.

The order of the fifteenth team is to infiltrate the rear of the kingdom controlled by the evil god, integrate into the local area first, and investigate intelligence.

After receiving orders from the rear, they further destroyed the local roads, water sources, and baggage, and built altars in the secret area if they had the opportunity to fight for the fire of faith for the god of bo.

Botu took the team lightly and made a roundabout way according to the map given by the regiment, but the more he went, the more he felt that something was wrong. It stands to reason that there should be a hill ahead, but why is it now a desert?

The sky darkened for no apparent reason, and the sand turned grayish-brown, as if the color had been sucked away by some mysterious force.

Botu decided to hide in place first, and ordered everyone to hide in the sand and see the situation first.

Scouts are often found in dangerous areas and must be vigilant and flexible.

Soon after, Botu heard screams in the distance.

The Imperial army is fighting the enemy.

Botu gave the order to move on, and the frontal forces attracted the main forces of the enemy, which was interspersed with an opportunity to sneak into the rear.

But the team continued to advance into the depths of the desert, but the drawings given by the regiment were completely useless and did not match at all.

The scout team is tired and hungry, and everyone is nervous, and if they encounter the enemy, they can be wiped out.

Botu can only rely on his field experience to take everyone to find a way out first.

Blessings and disasters are not a single line, but they met the Wuji people.

He led his team to dodge all the way, and finally entered a huge black area on the desperate road.

Botu had thought that he would wait for the enemy to leave before coming out. As a result, as soon as I entered, I came to another world.

The world is very bright.

The sun was high and the ground was hard and solid beneath his feet, surrounded by smoke, flames and explosions, no traps on the ground that could collapse at any moment, no crows and vultures gnawing at corpses.

There is a faint scent of grass in the air, as well as a slightly salty sea breeze.

Botu led the team to catch fish and birds on the island to fill his stomach, and then he ordered them to take turns on duty, so that everyone could sleep in turn.

Then he began to think about the next step.

The previous hole was like some kind of giant portal, sending the team all the way into this strange area. In other words, this is most likely the rear of the Uji Kingdom.

Here's your chance!

Botu called to the scouts: "Brothers, make a contribution, this is the time! ”

"From this day forward, we will disperse and lurk for the sake of the Empire, find out the current state of this country, and wait for the Empire to call. At that time, all our efforts will be rewarded by His Majesty the Emperor! Seal your wife and enjoy the land! ”

"Remember, from this day forward, you will no longer be Imperial scouts, but craftsmen, scholars, farmers, fishermen, and merchants, gathering intelligence from all walks of life and waiting for the clarion call for the Empire's general attack."

"Every year today, we meet on this island to gather information. For security reasons, only I will know your city and identity, and private contact is prohibited. ”

"For the Empire!"

"Fifteen squads, disbanded!"

……

A year later, Botu sailed aboard a galley to the island where he had set sail.

He has become proficient in the basic local language and script, can speak the Yao dialect fluently, and even learned some dialects of the Southern Islands to facilitate communication with the islanders.

Now he was wearing a thick cotton coat and carrying a suitcase, and he had made a fire in an open field.

Flames rose, reflecting a red glow on Botu's frowning face.

His heart was filled with joy and sorrow.

Happily, this is not the Kingdom of Uji, but another new world.

This world is rich in products, orderly, free from war and chaos, and has many wonderful goods and tools. There are so many otherworldly creatures that they have close interacts with humans...... Its value is much higher than that of the Kingdom of Uzi.

This is where the worries come from.

In this world, there are at least four apostles, each of whom is extremely strong. They shot down the sun, tamed the dragon king, and slain many of the old gods...... The top-level combat power is extremely terrifying.

The empire also has the apostles of the gods, but it has never had such a terrifying record, and even natural disasters can be stifled.

Not to mention, the god who is above this world, Yao Shen, is even more unfathomable.

Botu sighed.

I thought I had come to the flock, but who knew that I had strayed into the tiger's den.

Today, Botu serves in the city guard in Yancheng.

As far as he knew, the military strength of Yancheng alone included hundreds of corrupt people led by Commander Yanger, as well as dozens of corrupt guards, all of whom were elite combat power.

In this world, almost all of them are elite combat power, and they don't rely much on numerical superiority.

For the Empire to counter the extraordinary power of this city, it must send at least eight regiments to the full strength.

On the other hand, the secular side of the city guard is not to be underestimated.

They were armed with armor and bows and arrows, and their arrows were smeared with potions of Anaesthetic Juice and Sleeping Potion. Relying on potions, they have been able to subdue and even annihilate the transcendent.

In addition, there were ten warrior monks in the city guard. They are all ruthless characters who use combat as their main cultivation method, break through the limits of human beings, and enter the transcendent realm.

The more I thought about Botu, the more I sighed.

If the Imperial army launched an all-out attack on this place, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky.

At this moment, a merchant wearing a felt hat came over and spoke in a low voice in Imperial Chinese.

"For the Empire."

"For the Empire."

Botu responded, "Sit." Tell us about your situation. ”

The merchant's name is Bo Jiuqian, and he sat next to the captain and pulled his coat: "Captain, I ran the boat with a few merchants. The main route was from the Northern New World to the Southern Saniro, and the commodities traded were split earthworms and black water striders. ”

"The Dragon's Nest has become a large city, and there are many people living around the Dragon's Nest, all of whom rely on the livestock and trade of the Dragon's Nest."

He licked his lips, "I've seen dragons once. ”

"It flies in the air, spits black dragon flame in its mouth, and its wings cover the sky and the sun, and only when you see it with your own eyes will you understand the power of the dragon, which is a walking natural disaster......"

"The surrounding ice and snow trolls are like mountains, and knives and guns can't break through their ice shells at all. Perhaps only the Empire's strongest siege crossbows can do them harm. ”

Botu frowned: "You investigated these?" ”

"And."

Bo Jiuqian gathered his thoughts: "I infiltrated the merchants and got important news from them. ”

He paused: "The downed Gloom Sun is likely to be in the dragon's lair, collected by the dragon king. ”

“……”

Botu was a little distraught.

The strength of the dragon's nest seems to be stronger than imagined.

After a while.

Scout team members arrive one after another.

They all gave intelligence on their respective investigations.

Botu integrated everyone's findings to come to one conclusion.

It is a world where agriculture, handicrafts, commerce, culture, smelting, casting, and medicine are all extremely developed, and the mundane and the transcendent are actively merging, and all kinds of inventions and creations are emerging......

The good news is that the Yao population is not very large.

The bad news is that the number of supernatural creatures is growing rapidly, and some of them are integrating into the Yao people.

Botu spoke: "Let's all talk about what we can do for the Empire?" ”

When it came to everyone's profession and experience, everyone talked happily, but when it came to the task, everyone immediately frowned.

Only the campfire crackled.

Botu said fiercely: "Cheer up!" Forgot about our mission! ”

"As Imperial soldiers, we have only one duty."

"Loyalty, loyalty, or fucking loyalty!"

"For the Empire!"

Others chimed in: "For the Empire." ”

Suddenly, a dirty young man passed by, he was thin and thin, carrying a burden, and said with some curiosity, "What are you doing?" ”

Everyone was nervous.

Fortunately, the local people of the imperial Chinese language could not understand it.

One of the team members whispered, "Boss, do you want to kill your mouth?" ”

Botu stopped with a look, then walked over with a smile and said, "We are fellow villagers from an island, and we are meeting here. ”

"Oh, be careful, then. There's been a bunch of pirates here lately, and they've robbed a few ships, and that's how I came here to deal with them, and I caught one. ”

The young man dragged a dead man-eating crab from behind the tree and proposed, "How about eating together?" ”

……

Eating the delicious roast crab meat, Botu was glad in his heart, but fortunately I had a steady hand.

The other party is a martial monk, and if he makes a move, he is afraid that his own team will be wiped out here.

He began to worry about the future.

I don't know if the empire will come.

On the one hand, Botu hoped that the Imperial Army would come to meet him and return to his homeland after a long absence.

On the other hand, he didn't want the Imperial army to come here, because it was likely that there would be no return.

The contradictory mood made him gnaw on the meat fiercely, turning his troubles into appetites, and meditating in his heart.

Loyalty, loyalty!
