Pan Wanxiu led Nangong Wung in.
This top beauty of the Martial World looked at the people in the room with a sowhat peculiar expression. She had worried all the way about Li Guanyi and the others encountering danger, so she hurried to the Tiele Tribe and then made her way back as quickly as possible.
But what now?
You not only took down your opponents but also seized such a territory?
Nangong Wung followed etiquette, saluted, and then took out the letter from Mr. Po Jun, saying: "Mr. Po Jun and General Qibi Li are leading two thousand Golden Curved Blade Cavalry, currently on their way to aid."
"Mr. Po Jun was worried about the general’s safety, so he sent ahead with the letter."
"However, it seems he was overly concerned."
Li Guanyi laughed heartily, "Nangong, you’ve worked hard. Lei Laong, quickly serve tea to Miss Nangong."
Nangong Wung coughed once.
Thus Li Guan said, "Serve the best tea!"
Lei Laong, acting like a lackey, went to pour the tea, while Nangong Wung reported the military affairs and sat on a chair to the side, saying, "That’s more like it."
Li Guanyi unfolded the letter to read. The familiar handwriting of Po Jun appeared. This young strategist, after a brief personal note, wrote: "Since my lord has arrived in the Western Regions, you might have noticed the chaotic situation here—only one word can suffice."
"Chaos!"
"Warlords against warlords, tribes against tribes, city-states against city-states."
"The Demon Sect, Dangxiang, Wolf King, each has intense conflicts. Now I understand why the Western Regions living Buddha went to Jiangzhou City to ask Elder Zu for a way out for the Western Buddhist Sect."
"Without coming to the Western Regions, one could never have imagined the situation is this grim and rotten."
"In such a scenario, as I see it, there’s only one key word—"
"[Swift]!"
"Given the balance and intricate ties among the forces in the Western Regions, we should cut through the confusion with swift action. Before every faction can react, we should gain a foothold. Normally, such an approach would invite mutual attacks, but the Western Region’s short-sightedness results in internal friction, offering a great opportunity to my lord."
"Swift victory, swift resolution."
"I am coming with General Qibi to swiftly conquer several cities and enter this grand sche."
"Looking forward to our reunion in the near future."
"Respectfully, Po Jun."
After reading the letter, Li Guanyi carefully folded it and put it away, smiling at the generals present, "Mr. Po Jun’s suggestion is pretty much what we had in mind. Except we had to act quickly because of the Demon Sect’s incursion, and Mr. Po Jun anticipated it."
Nangong Wung blinked, "The Demon Sect?"
Lei Laong filled her in on the events that had transpired.
Nangong Wung furrowed her brows, "I’ve heard of this sect. It’s terrifying. It erged into the world three hundred years ago, with no prior presence in the Martial World, and was ferocious from the outset."
"Their martial arts techniques are bizarre, not focusing on cultivation, but seeking short-term lethality. Cultivators often have short lifespans, willingly falling into madness, sacrificing themselves and killing martial artists stronger than themselves."
"I didn’t expect you to encounter the Demon Sect so soon."
"Unlike , who was just being blown by the yellow sands for ten or so days."
"Fortunately, when I ca across so sneaky guys, I fought them and won. They’re tied up outside, claiming to be scouts for the Huyan family, shouting for revenge, saying I should better let them go."
"I knocked out their teeth to quiet them down."
Li Guanyi: "Huh?"
Part-ti scout Lei Laong: "Huh???"
Everyone in the temporary camp of the Qilin Army was stunned.
The woman sitting there, cradling a tea cup, murmured, "I was just hiding from the sandstorms, who knew I’d capture seven people behind a big rock?"
Lei Laong ran out to look and shouted, "It’s, it’s those few tongues that escaped from previously, my goodness, did you, did you really capture them?!"
Nangong Wung proudly said, "Of course!"
Li Guanyi and the others went out and saw seven burly n tied with a single rope, unable to break free—due to the training for binding Mr. Wen He, the military officers of the Qilin Army were all skilled in binding techniques and very adept at configuring the powder for anesthesia.
These seven scouts were fed with the powder, bound with sinew ropes, and completely unable to escape, Li Guanyi was overjoyed: "Nangong, you are truly our lucky star!"
Nangong Wung raised her chin slightly, "Indeed!"
"Wherever this girl goes, there’s no problem that can’t be solved!"
The group interrogated these scouts, but they were tough and refused to speak.
Once Shi Dalin went in with a circle of dicinal powder, accompanied by the sound of wailing and howling, the tough scouts from the Western Regions couldn’t confess fast enough, eager to spill every bean, even about wetting their beds as children.
The situation of the troops coming from Huyan City was imdiately grasped by Li Guanyi and the others.
A ten-thousand-level troop, most capable of fighting, all possessed hunting skills, with only less than seven days of food supplies left. The leading City Lord and Great General both had the Fourth Layer Heaven cultivation, with three hundred elite entering realm, the rest were ordinary valiant martial n.
They did not understand the Qi chanism circulation of the Central Plains’ Military School.
The usual tactic was volley fire, very intimidating with a rain of arrows.
Li Guanyi said, "...Primitive, biased, yet a very dangerous fighting thod in field battles. If there’s a renowned general, leading heavy armored infantry, under the protection of a defensive formation from the Military School, they can be subdued with minimal losses."
"However..."
Fan Qing, the most skilled in such battle formations, grimaced.
Heavy armor, heavy shield, this represents advanced tempering and forging technology, as well as substantial iron ore. Even in the Central Plains, heavy armored shield infantry are high-level troops, second only to fully armored heavy cavalry.
