Clearly, Xu Dingchun and Gao Xiong had done this sort of thing more than a few times.
Bai Yuan instinctively took a step back.
'Getting into trouble with your superiors builds camaraderie, but just hearing about their past mischief? That's not necessarily a good thing.'

Bai Yuan stayed in Lonely Wolf City for three days.
The Border Army wasn't as extreme as the rumors made it out to be.
Most of their time was spent drilling. The Night Patrol would occasionally have small-scale clashes with sand bandits from Ximo. Sometimes there were a few casualties; other times, it was just a matter of exchanging a few shots from the dark.
Large-scale battles only happened a few times a year.
If every clash was a head-on battle, the Zhenxi Army would have been wiped out long ago. Forget the Zhenxi Army; even the nations of Ximo would have been left utterly devastated.
Neither side was willing to see such an outcome.
Ximo was after benefits; they weren't truly blood-crazed.
