"I will decide at my discretion." Khan Yan turned around and returned to the Khan’s Golden Tent, saying, "Batumihe, co in and talk."
Seeing that Skambuhe National Master was also about to follow him into the Golden Tent, Khan Yan said without turning his head: "You wait outside."
These words made Skambuhe National Master freeze in place, his smile slowly fading, because it signified the failure of his plan.
At least temporarily.
The human side, within Khan Yan’s body, once again gained the upper hand.
To fully inherit the Killing Buddha’s strength, there was still a long way to go.
Once inside the Khan’s Golden Tent, it was like entering another world.
Here, the space was dozens of tis larger than it appeared outside, arranged with extre luxury and comfort.
General Batumihe was accustod to this; this was the Khan’s Golden Tent, possessing magical space abilities, nothing abnormal, and many Tukan generals’ tents had similar abilities, differing only in spatial size.
It was filled with powerful energy akin to Khan Yan’s, directly isolating the interior from the exterior.
No wonder in the past, regardless of the commotion outside, Khan Yan remained unaware.
They previously believed it was Skambuhe National Master’s doing; now it seed Khan Yan himself was continually imrsed in practice.
Once they sat down again, Khan Yan asked, "How long has it been since we retreated here?"
"Over two and a half months." General Batumihe responded truthfully.
"Skambuhe damn him!" Khan Yan said coldly, "For his own selfish desires, he made us miss the optimal ti to retreat."
With the human side gaining the upper hand, Khan Yan’s mindset clearly differed from before.
Because the starting points for consideration differed.
If viewed from the perspective of becoming a Buddha, their previous decisions were not wrong, prioritizing becoming a Buddha in everything.
The Tukan Army, along with their enemies, would beco sacrifices for his enlightennt.
Without the burden of the Tukan Army, advancing or retreating, few in this world could stop him.
If viewed from a human perspective, there was no doubt they delayed the battle opportunity, causing the Tukan Army to fall into a quagmire of death; the enemy had completed encirclent, ready to trap them here alive.
General Batumihe did not kick them when they were down but took the opportunity to advise, "Though we missed the best retreat opportunity, there’s not absolutely no hope.
I am willing to lead fifty thousand troops to cover the rear, holding off the enemy’s main force.
The Khan can take advantage of this to break through from Klonte, heading north to enter Nafir.
This place is ruled by a group of nomadic Barbarians, from whom the Khan can obtain so urgent supplies.
At that ti, whether we fight the enemy again or retreat north to the Endless Wilderness, the initiative remains in our hands."
Khan Yan said with deep aning, "The General’s loyalty to the Tukan People is consistent."
Here, he was not referring to himself but the Tukan People, implying deeper intentions.
aning, General Batumihe placed the interests of the Tukan People first, with even him, Khan Yan, having to co afterward.
When conflicts arose between the two, General Batumihe would choose the overall interests of the Tukan People, rather than Khan Yan’s.
This could be seen from his willingness to risk decapitation yet still breaking into the Khan’s Golden Tent.
General Batumihe said with neither humility nor arrogance, "This is my duty as a mber of the Tukan, only asking the Khan to give such a chance."
He did not deny it and had already prepared.
Khan Yan’s attitude remained as enigmatic as ever, asking, "Isn’t the main force of the Laiserman Kingdom still in Klonte? Wanting to break through there might not be an easy task! If we can’t even pass this barrier, the subsequent plan amounts to nothing."
"The Khan may be unaware; those Laiserman have already withdrawn all their large forces from Klonte; now it’s entrusted to a Commander nad Gaven.
He leads the Soaring Dragon People captured from us, establishing a Far East Territory, setting up defenses, and attempting to block our retreat."
General Batumihe reported the latest battlefield intelligence to Khan Yan.
"You an the Chosen of the Goddess of Strategy?" Khan Yan’s pitch rose involuntarily.
Golden light restrained, blood-red killing Qi surged.
The opponent’s power was evidently not strong, yet his thods were countless and often unexpected.
First, he helped the Laiserman Kingdom’s Witches create a so-called Totem Dreamscape, forcing them to reverse their attack direction, ultimately being trapped at the lakeside, losing most of their freight.
Then used his road-building advantage to madly delay their progress.
Finally, in the defense battle of Tavelan City, even invited down the Goddess of Strategy and her God Kingdom, delivering a fatal blow, leading to the Tukan Army’s complete defeat.
It’s no exaggeration to say that they ended up in their current state all thanks to him.
Now he was again causing trouble behind them, indeed relentless.
"Yes, it’s him." General Batumihe nodded.
He admired this Commander, only heard by na, unseen in person.
The opponent’s strategic and tactical application was unparalleled in his life.
Even those top strategists of the Soaring Dragon Dynasty might not compare to him.
"How many troops has he prepared this ti?" Khan Yan quickly restrained his flaring anger, again becoming unfathomable.
"He ticulously selected twenty thousand Soaring Dragon People, forming two legions, fully equipped with Mingguang Armor, an authentic Heavy Knight Legion.
Besides, there should be the previously encountered War Chariot Legion and Laiserman Kingdom’s Fearless Legion, numbering around fifty thousand."
General Batumihe had long done adequate preparation; this ti he dared not underestimate the enemy.
