The granary was the lifeline of the city. If it was destroyed, the frontline soldiers would lose their supplies, and morale would inevitably collapse. When that happened, Yunshui City's defenses would crumble on their own without the Blood Demon Sect even needing to act.
Li Zhan's decision to send Nascent Soul Cultivators to deal with the main formation core was a sound one, but the granary could not rely solely on conventional defenses.
"Qian Ming." Lin Taichu raised his voice. Qian Ming immediately entered from outside. "Captain, what is it?"
"Find out the exact location of Yunshui City's granaries and their guard deployments. The more detailed, the better," Lin Taichu said. "Also, have Zhao Hu bring two team members out of the Barracks with me. Everyone else is to remain on standby and set out as planned at dawn tomorrow."
Though puzzled, Qian Ming immediately accepted the order. "Yes!" Half an hour later, the three changed into plain clothes, slipped past the guards at the camp gate, climbed over the low wall behind the Barracks, and crept toward Yunshui City.
By the time they reached Yunshui City, the gates had already been shut under martial law. Lin Taichu showed his Centurion's token, and the gate guards let them through after confirming his identity. There were more patrol guards on the streets than during the day, torchlight casting wavering shadows across the stone pavement.
According to Qian Ming's information, Yunshui City's granary stood in the western part of the city. It covered dozens of acres and consisted of three enormous bluestone storehouses, surrounded by walls over three meters high, with a watchtower at each corner.
At that moment, a guard stood every ten paces outside the walls, while torches on the towers illuminated the area as brightly as day.
