Nan You turned around and smiled. "Elder Bao Ruoli, why are you here?" Guo Shier nodded. He had met Bao Ruoli a few times and knew that he was also a guest elder hired by the Nan Qiang Ancestor.
Bao Ruoli said, "I'm here to pick you up. There's a flying car." He was a man of few words and was cold to others. Everyone knew his temper and didn't mind.
It was a small flying car that could seat around ten people. Bao Ruoli led everyone on the car and ordered, "Let's go. It'll take two days to get there." Then he found a corner and sat down.
A few disciples of the Gu Nan Clan came up and bowed. "Greetings, Ancestor, Grand Elder."
Nan You waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about us, just mind your own business." Several people respectfully complied, and drove the flying car towards the south.
Guo Shier wanted to know more about the situation, but seeing Bao Ruoli's unapproachable expression, he lost interest in asking. Since they were going to reach their destination soon, it would be better to ask the Nan Qiang Ancestor directly.
Two days later, the flying car arrived at the outskirts of the Gu Nan Clan's large base. Countless flying cars and hunting cars circled in the air. Professionals were divided into small teams, patrolling in the air.
There were many temporary tents on the ground, divided into dozens of areas. Looking from the air, it was endless.
The flying car slowly landed. This was a huge parking lot with tens of thousands of flying cars and hunting cars. They were densely packed and lined up neatly. It was like a military airport or parking lot in his previous life. It was huge. This world might lack other things, but it didn't lack land.
Guo Shier got off the flying car and exclaimed, "It's so f * cking spectacular …"
Falconer was also shocked. He said, "This is the power of the Gu Clan? Amazing … "He thought of the North Fu Men and the Chenxiao Sect. Before the Gu Clan, they were like ants. When he first arrived at the Chenxiao Sect, he was surprised at their power. Now, it seemed that the Chenxiao Sect was nothing.
Luo Zhan shook his head and didn't say anything. After following Guo Shier for so long and going to so many places, he now understood that his hometown was only a remote place, incomparable to the outside world. Luckily, he was already an Advanced Great Saint Master. Even in the Gu Clan, he was an elder. He didn't have many regrets. Different from Falconer, he didn't have great ambitions.
Nan You said, "Right now, there are about five hundred thousand people in the barracks, and there are still many disciples coming here. Maybe it won't be long before there will be more than a million professionals here."
In his previous life, Guo Shier had been a military commander, so he knew the cruelty of war. He said, "I don't know how many people can't go home … Nan You, I still don't understand. Why did you start a war with the Gu Jin Clan?"
Nan You smiled bitterly. "Wars between clans are always conflicts of interest. There has never been an exception. Our Gu Nan Clan and the Gu Jin Clan … have fought countless times. As for small scale conflicts, there are even more. Countless disciples have died, and the hatred has grown deeper and deeper. I don't find it strange that a war broke out this time."
He then added, "It's just that the scale of the war this time is relatively large. The entire clan has been mobilized. Otherwise, we wouldn't have asked for the guest delegates."
Guo Shier was curious. He muttered to himself, "Guest delegates? I always thought that guest delegates were cannon fodder. Why does it feel different here? It seems like they value the guest delegates a lot. "His voice was very low, but Nan You was very close and could hear him clearly.
Nan You couldn't help but laugh. "Ancestor, where did you hear this from …? Guest delegates are cannon fodder?"
Guo Shier asked, "Isn't that the case?"
Nan You said, "The Gu Clan's guest delegates are at least Peak Great Saint Masters. They won't hire anyone below that level. It would be far too extravagant to use Peak Great Saint Masters as consumables. As for the clan elders and ancestor-level experts, they are the clan's top fighting force. How could they use them so casually? "
Guo Shier had made a mistake. It was because of his previous life's concept that those who weren't of the same clan would have different intentions. However, there was no such recognition here. What was recognized here was strength, the exchange of benefits, and the last thing that was recognized was friendship.
Falconer asked, "How far is it to the ancestor's residence?"
"Not far. Follow me," Bao Ruoli said.
The Nanqiang ancestor's residence was in the northern corner of the encampment. It was close to the outskirts of the pure gold mine, a relatively dangerous place. It took them ten minutes to fly from where they had parked their car. It had to be known that even if Guo Shier and the others flew normally, they would still be extremely fast.
The Nanqiang ancestor and ancestor Nan Qin had already received news of Guo Shier's arrival. The two of them were actually waiting at the entrance. Behind them were several dozen clan elders, grand elders, and over a hundred other elders. These elders were all Peak Great Saint Masters and were in charge of this operation.
In an ancient clan battle, the main fighting force wasn't the ancestors or clan elders, but rather the grand elders and elders. They were the actual commanders of the operation. As the ultimate power, the ancestors and elders wouldn't move out at the very beginning. They were mostly used as a deterrent force, mainly to restrain the other side's ancestors and elders. They wouldn't participate in ordinary battles.
The two elders were in charge of the battle at the red gold mine. The professionals participating in the battle at the red gold mine were all disciples of the two elders' branch families. Just the Nanqiang ancestor's branch family alone had seven continents and several dozen secret realms. They had a population of over ten billion people, with several million Professionals among them. Mobilizing several hundred thousand people was no problem at all.
The Nan Qin ancestor's branch family was slightly weaker, but they still had five continents. Their population wasn't much different from the Nanqiang ancestor's branch family. This time, they had also mobilized several hundred thousand people. The two of them were the only ancestor-level experts in their respective families. They were the strongest experts in their branch families and important figures of the Gu Nan clan. They were members of the Gu Nan clan and had a lot of influence in the clan.
In other words, the two ancestors were the highest commanders and the strongest experts in the branch families. It was no wonder that they valued Guo Shier so much. Adding another ancestor-level expert would be of great help to them. With Guo Shier's strength, even if he couldn't beat the Gu Jin clan's ancestors, he could still restrain one of them. This made it difficult for them not to take him seriously.
Guo Shier chuckled. "Nanqiang ancestor, Nan Qin ancestor, there's no need to be so polite."
The Nanqiang ancestor laughed. "Ancestor Guo Shier, uh, that's so awkward. I'll call you Ancestor Shier from now on …"
Nan Qin ancestor snickered. "That's easy to misunderstand. Ancestor Shier … Hehe, is there a Shier ancestor? How about calling me Old Ancestor Guo? "
Guo Shier said, "Don't … Just call me Shier. It's more intimate."
The Nanqiang ancestor turned around and said, "Everyone, come and pay your respects to our clan's guest ancestor."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Guo Shier got to know some of the clan's elders and great elders. There was no lack of two-level altar experts among them. These people were the top among the elders and would soon reach the ancestor level. There were three such people. The other clan elders all had one layer of the altar, while the Great Clan Elder was an expert of the illusory altar, including Nan You, who was also a Great Clan Elder.
This was a huge rune house. Guo Shier had never seen a rune house in the wild like this. It looked like a huge castle. He also had a rune house in the wild, and the one in front of him could be called a rune castle. After entering, there was a huge living room that was thousands of square meters in size. It gave Guo Shier the feeling of a small stadium in his previous life.
In the middle of the living room was a huge talisman plate. This thing was similar to the sand table Guo Shier had seen in his previous life, but this talisman plate was more advanced. It was like a virtual map of light and shadow. The talisman plate was eight meters long and six meters wide. There were mountain ranges on it, and there were countless dots of light. They were blue, green, and red. They were so small that it was hard to notice without looking carefully.
Guo Shier asked curiously, "These dots of light … what do they represent?" Then he realized and said in surprise, "Are they representing the clan's disciples?"
The Nanqiang Patriarch nodded. "Yes, the disciples' armor has a special Reflection Talisman that can be reflected in the talisman plate."
Guo Shier was shocked. This was too advanced. Coupled with the accurate map of the terrain, any battle could be seen at a glance. He had been a military officer in his previous life and knew the benefits of this talisman plate. He couldn't help but praise, "This is amazing. With the help of the talisman sect, it's really convenient to deploy troops."
Falconer's eyes widened. If such a clan wanted to invade the Northern Fu Men, this talisman plate alone would put them in an invincible position.
Guo Shier asked, "What are these moving white dots?"
The Nanqiang Patriarch said, "They're hunting carts. The slightly larger ones are flying carts."
Guo Shier couldn't help but smile wryly. This was so advanced. He asked, "Can the enemy's arrangements be reflected on the talisman plate?"
The Nanqiang Patriarch said, "No. We need to scout and then send back a signal. Moreover, it can't be reflected immediately. We need to make some deductions."
Guo Shier nodded. "There doesn't seem to be any signs of the enemy on it yet."
The Nanqiang Patriarch smiled. "We haven't been here for long, and we've only just sent out our scouts. It will be some time before we can see them on the talisman plate."
Guo Shier asked, "Who's the commander?" He knew that the real commander was definitely not the Nanqiang Patriarch. It had to be someone else. Not just anyone could be the commander of a battle.
The Nanqiang Patriarch smiled. "Let me introduce you. This is Nan Yong, our commander."
He was an old man with a face full of wrinkles and a head of white hair. His body was hunched and he wore a gray robe. He looked very unremarkable. Guo Shi 'er's eyes were sharp. He could see through his cultivation with a single glance. He was only a Middle Saint Master. Four elders followed closely behind him. It was obvious that they were here to protect him.
Nan Yong said indifferently, "Greetings, Patriarch."
