Yang Xiao nodded and said:
"Wildman Valley must be guarded. All the women and children should be divided into small teams, each equipped with a portion of guards, and dispersed into the nearby forests to prevent a surprise attack from the Mercenary Army.
Additionally, we must make every effort to scout out where the Mercenary Army is resting at night. Once we know where their camp is, we'll know how to handle them.
Ah Bao, take a squad to Gorilla Valley to find Black Jinkang and the Golden Lion King. Tell them to stay hidden for the time being and at the same time, mobilize all the Demon Beasts to search for where the mercenaries plan to bed down for the night."
...
While Yang Xiao was making arrangements, the Mercenary Army wasn't idle either.
In a valley dozens of kilometers away from the Primitive Forest, five Warships were parked.
Tang Qian's five hundred mercenaries were resting and eating in the valley.
