Li Guanyi muttered to himself: "The world’s trend lies in competing to be the first."
"Before my identity is exposed, attracting the Wolf King’s attack, and Jiang Wanxiang becos wary, I must seize as much territory as possible in this vast region of the Western Regions... Retreat step by step is not an option."
"The thirty-six tribes of the Western Regions, the Dangxiang nation, the remnants of Tuyuhun, the Seven Tribes’ Alliance this ti, the nine tribes of Tiele, the Qiang, excluding these, there are seventeen tribes I have never seen before. These seventeen tribes are probably personally blocked at Heroic Pass by the fifteenth-ranked general under the Wolf King, Xiao Wuliang."
Li Guanyi felt a faint sense of urgency.
The Seven Tribes’ Alliance is already so mighty; what of the seventeen tribes?
Li Guanyi rubbed his forehead, now hoping to imdiately obtain the complete map of the Western Regions and the formation map from Hao Yuanxia, to enhance his own strength, foundation, and depth within the shortest ti.
At this mont, soone ca to visit. It was the disciples of the Mo School who had previously helped defend Yen Pass. When Li Shude and others were leaving, wanting to take away the Mo School disciples, these disciples said they only wished to help the people defend the city.
Seeing Li Guanyi’s troops follow orders and do not harm the people, they ca to visit.
Thus, they fully explained the strategy of defending the city.
Li Guanyi nodded and agreed, and during the past few days, mobilized the captives of the Western Regions to help rebuild the city. This was originally a ti-consuming task, but these martial artists were imnsely powerful, able to cut through hard rocks with weapons.
They rebuild the city much faster compared to ordinary people.
With the help of the Mo School, the city at Yen Pass was rebuilt in just a few days. During this period, Changsun Wuchou visited once, and the many captives from the Western Regions saw that the escaped Da Wan tribe was also captured, becoming completely demoralized.
However, their regard for Li Guanyi grew even more respectful.
Changsun Wuchou left a considerable amount of food, transporting those 500,000 Wolf Teeth Inverted Hook Arrows to Anxi City, opening trade routes along the way and bringing the necessary things to this city.
Li Guanyi finally felt relieved, feeling he could relax, and once again selected local young n, instructing them in city defense strategy, appointing experienced soldiers from the Anxi Protectorate as colonels and squad leaders to rebuild the city’s defense system.
Li Guanyi said: "It’s ti to return to Xiyi City."
He stretched out his hand, clenched his fist. After that day of battle, Li Guanyi felt his martial skills vaguely breaking through, his leadership ability notably improved, feeling especially adept.
Li Guanyi’s true leadership capacity was fifty thousand.
Previously leading a hundred thousand, many were ordinary people.
But now, Li Guanyi felt that his leadership capacity must have broken through, the soldiers had genuine respect for him, following orders, actively cooperating, saving the commander significant ntal effort.
That’s why, famous generals all have their own core teams and large armies, right?
So now, how much can he lead?
Fifty-one thousand, or fifty-two thousand?
Oh, never expected the limit could still be broken through.
I wonder, with the Golden King Seal, what level can be reached?
A true hundred thousand elite army?
Ha... that’s impossible.
Must be overthinking.
Li Guanyi thought, looking up at the sky, a gray blur.
He planned to imdiately go to Xiyi City, but in the autumn, a sandstorm rose around, the road hard to find direction, without Shaking Light, Li Guanyi couldn’t accurately find his way in such an environnt of the Western Regions.
Even more difficult to ensure each ti during the march, a rest area with shelter and water source could be found.
Li Guanyi felt inexplicably restless, shook his head, frowned.
"Wait until the sandstorm calms down, and then return imdiately."
"Obtain the money promised by Duke Li, take that kid Hao Yuanxia, imdiately return, and within a month, capture those forty-two cities before my identity is exposed..."
Li Guanyi suppressed the irritation in his heart, flipping through the remaining docunts in Yen Pass, suddenly soone patted his shoulder.
Li Guanyi said: "Shaking Light, don’t ss around..."
Paused, the young man realized that the figure who had been by his side for more than two years was missing, so he paused and said: "Sorry, I called the wrong person, who has such a mind?"
As he spoke, he turned around.
A cool finger poked at his face.
Poke, poke.
The young general’s smile froze, looking at the silver-haired girl quietly coming up behind him, almost thinking he was dreaming, dazed, eyes widened.
The silver-haired girl quietly looked at Li Guanyi.
The stargazer’s attire she wore was covered in dust, her silver hair slightly dulled, but her eyes remained clear. She rode a horse alone, with dry food and a water bag, crossing a great distance to arrive here.
Li Guanyi was dumbfounded for a while.
The girl’s serene voice said: "I think, maybe you need ."
She had traveled a very long road, crossing mountains and streams, just to co here and say these words.
The silver-haired girl clasped her hands, her face delicate as if not of this world had no expression, voice calm, causing no ripples:
"I also brought so stead buns."
"I think, perhaps you missed too.
The silver-haired girl stood up, she pondered, spread her arms, and said like this:
"I’m sorry, I lied."
"I missed you a lot."
The girl tilted her head slightly, silver hair falling by her temples, still with the fine sand of the desert:
"Want a hug..."
Li Guanyi stood up, reached out his arms, and embraced the girl tightly.
Soft and ethereal, like light that might vanish at any mont.

[So, we t again]
