Chapter 828

The Nanqiang Patriarch laughed. "Don't underestimate him. Haha, he's the best at war here and enjoys the same treatment as the Patriarch."

Guo Shier noticed that most people were behind Nan Yong. There were many low-level disciples, but they were mostly standing at the edge of the hall.

Guo Shier bowed in a friendly manner. "Hello, Nan Yong." He did not look down on the other because of his low cultivation. A commander did not need to be very strong.

Nan Yong found it strange. In the family, if one was weak, one would not have a high status. Many powerful professionals looked down on low-level disciples. He did not expect Guo Shier to bow to him. He said, "Patriarch, you seem to like commanding?" He watched from the side. From Guo Shier's questions, he could tell that this guest Patriarch was very interested in commanding.

Of course, Guo Shier was interested. In his previous life, he had not only attended a proper military school, but had also been an officer. He laughed. "Haha, I am a little interested."

The Nanqiang Patriarch was curious. "Commanding a battle … requires special training. It's very different from professionals. This is different from inheritance. Patriarch Guo, have you learned it before?"

Guo Shi 'er did not want to take command. He knew how dangerous it was. One wrong command could lead to the death of thousands of soldiers and horses. He laughed. "Actually … I am interested in the seal plate and the Mapping Talisman, haha."

The Nanqiang Patriarch said, "That's easy. I will give you a seal plate and the inheritance to make the Mapping Talisman. These things … all the ancient families have them. It's no secret."

Guo Shier was overjoyed. If he brought these tools back to the family, they could improve the family's overall fighting ability. He smiled. "Thank you, Patriarch."

The Nanqiang Patriarch said, "You're welcome. Go back to your room and rest. I have already arranged your living quarters."

Guo Shier was not tired, but there were too many people around. He did not have the patience to talk to them, especially since they were all strangers. Because he was a guest, the elders and elders were very polite but not close to him. He could not be bothered to get close to them. He said, "Okay, let's go take a look at the living quarters."

This was a unique little courtyard, right at the top of the Talisman Castle. There were six courtyards at the top. One was for Guo Shier, one for the Nanqiang Patriarch, one for the Nanqin Patriarch, and one for Nan Yong. There were still two empty courtyards. The clan elders all lived on the lower floor, and below that were the residences of the Great Elder and the Elders.

There were only six courtyards that could see the sky. These were the best residences in the castle. Because they were at the top, they could see what was going on nearby. All of the flying carriages and hunting carts had to stay far away from the Talisman Castle, so it was relatively quiet here.

Nanqiang Ancestor and Nanqin Ancestor personally escorted Guo Shier to the small courtyard and then left. At the same time, they arranged a dozen low-level disciples to serve as servants.

Standing in the small courtyard, Guo Shi 'er clicked his tongue in wonder. This small courtyard was decorated very elegantly. There were three unique two-story buildings and a stream surrounding it. Not only was there a small bridge over the flowing water, but there was also a small patch of flowering trees with pink flowers in full bloom. On the green grass, there was a table carved from white jade, on which a variety of fruits were placed. Most of them were fruits that he had never seen before. They were colorful and very pleasing to the eye.

Eagle Demon sat in front of the table, picked up a red fruit and took a bite. After tasting the taste, he immediately started eating and said: "The taste is not bad, Twelfth, try it!"

Luo Zhan and Nan You also sat down. Nan You said, "This is a fruit from the Tai Continent. There are all kinds of fruits there, and these are all relatively rare."

Luo Zhan and Nan You also sat down. Nan You said, "These are fruits from the Tai Continent. There are many kinds of fruits there. These are all relatively rare fruits."

"Of course we're going to occupy it," Nan You said. "This continent is very important. The family has mobilized and spent a lot of manpower and resources. We won't leave after one battle."

"Of course we're going to occupy it," Nan You said. "This continent is very important. The family has mobilized a lot of manpower and resources. We won't leave after one battle. We've already fought a few times, and both sides have lost tens of thousands of professionals. How can we just let it go? In this attack on the Red Gold Mine, I think many professionals will die. Sigh. "

Guo Shier saw him sigh and asked curiously, "You don't want to fight?"

Nan You shook his head firmly. "No, I want to fight. It's best if we fight on the territory controlled by the Gujin Family, all of their important continents, and finally the Gujin Continent to destroy the roots of the Gujin Family. That's the best!" His face was flushed, and his horse-like face became animated.

Guo Shier thought he had found an anti-war person, but it turned out to be a war maniac. He rubbed his nose speechlessly and said, "I didn't ask …"

"Elder," Nan You said, "I'll be your liaison officer during this time. Hmm, do you want me to assign you some experts? Guest Elders can assign experts of the Great Elder level. As for the Elders … they can lead a large group. "

Guo Shier shook his head. "No need. Why would I need so many experts?" Although he didn't want to be low-key, he didn't want to show off either. It would be cool to lead a group of experts, but it was useless. Once the battle started and he needed to fight, those people couldn't replace him.

Nan You said, "The first attack will start in about three days. Elder, are you interested in going?"

Before Guo Shier could answer, A Handsome Old Man's soul shook violently. "Go! Go! Shier, you must go. If you don't go, you'll lose a lot! This is a rare chance … Go! "

Guo Shier's soul shook slightly. "A Handsome Old Man, why are you so excited? What's so interesting about killing people? "

A Handsome Old Man scolded, "Bullsh * t! You idiot! Idiot! Many professionals will die in a war … "

Guo Shier interrupted his soul and said, "Nonsense. Of course people will die. A lot of people will die. What does that have to do with me!"

A Handsome Old Man anxiously stomped his feet. "You idiot! Don't you know what the most fundamental thing about a professional is?"

Guo Shier replied without hesitation, "Of course I know. The most fundamental thing about a professional is a powerful soul!"

A Handsome Old Man angrily scolded, "If you know, then why aren't you going! You, you're pissing me off … "

Guo Shier asked, "What do you mean?" As soon as he said that, he couldn't help but shiver. "A Handsome Old Man, you mean … Collect the souls of those undead professionals? You, you … How can you do that? "

A Handsome Old Man righteously said, "Why can't I? The souls of the dead … If you don't collect them, they will soon dissipate in the air. Idiot, weren't you very happy when you collected the souls of mutated rune beasts? The souls of professionals are the same. They are also one of the important materials. Otherwise … You wouldn't go and kill professionals to collect them, right? "

Guo Shier broke out in a cold sweat. Influenced by his previous life, it was very difficult for him to do such a thing. He said, "A Handsome Old Man, if a person is dead, then let their soul dissipate. I can't do that."

A Handsome Old Man scolded, "Little idiot, I didn't ask you to collect the souls of your own professionals. I asked you to collect the souls of the dead professionals on the other side. Can't you do that?"

Guo Shier was surprised. After a while, he said, "Alright, I can go and take a look."

Nan You knew that Guo Shier had a powerful Guardian Spirit that would often discuss things with him. Every time, Guo Shier would stay motionless, as if he was in a daze. So he didn't urge him and quietly waited on the side.

Guo Shier said, "Nan You, notify me when the time comes. We'll go and take a look together."

Nan You happily said, "Alright, I'll definitely notify you when the time comes."

… …

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, whether it was Guo Shier, Falconer, or Luo Zhan, none of them left the small courtyard. Instead, they were seizing the time to meditate. Guo Shier used the three newly obtained natural runes to repair the altar and refine the Crescent Blade. Falconer hid in the small house and continued to refine his Life Sacrificial Artifact. Only Luo Zhan guarded the small courtyard. He only needed to continuously cultivate his soul and didn't need to go into seclusion.

Nan You arrived on time.

Guo Shier brought Falconer and Luo Zhan with him as he followed Nan You to the main hall.

The main hall was filled with people. From Guo Shier's perspective, this main hall was like the headquarters of his previous world. All the battle orders were issued from here.

Guo Shier looked at the symbol plate, which clearly showed the distribution of the troops. He was someone who understood military affairs, so he understood the entire arrangement with a glance. It was a very simple arrangement, with a pincer attack from the north and south, and the vanguard of the troops heading straight for the pure gold vein's main camp. There were already many signs there. It was obvious that the main force of the Gu Jin Family was gathered there.

This kind of arrangement wasn't very brilliant, but it was very stable. He slightly shook his head. This kind of strategy consumed a lot of troops. It was completely dependent on the strength of the troops, and it was a steady and steady advance. The enemy had no other choice but to fight head-on.

Nan Yong walked over. He noticed that Guo Shier had been staring at the symbol plate ever since he came in. He asked, "What do you think, Elder?"

Guo Shier said, "If I were the commander of the Gu Jin Family, I wouldn't fight head-on with you. I would directly use the teleportation array to withdraw most of the troops, leaving only a small group to defend. The majority of the troops would retreat to the periphery and wait for an opportunity to attack."

Nan Yong smiled. "They won't retreat. If they lose the pure gold vein, their commander will be finished. So they will definitely defend there. When we reach this place …" He pointed at the symbol plate and said, "We can set up the array here and control the entire area. Their teleportation array will completely lose its effect. At that time … they will have no choice but to fight."

Guo Shier knew that he didn't know much about the warfare in this world. He didn't say anything more. He smiled and asked, "How many people do they have defending?"

Nan Yong said, "Based on preliminary estimates, there are about six hundred thousand professionals, seven million ordinary people, and two million mining slaves."

Guo Shier asked, "They won't come out to fight with us, will they? How are the defenses there?"

Nan Yong said, "No, they will definitely come out to fight with us. With just one or a few defense array formations, they won't be able to stop our troops."

Guo Shier shook his head. He knew that before he understood the warfare in this world, he couldn't make any real suggestions. He was unfamiliar with the warfare in this world. Fortunately, he was an expert at the level of an elder. Even if he said something he didn't know, others wouldn't dare to laugh at him.

Nan Yong said, "Based on the current speed, the battle will start in two days. Elder, are you interested in going to watch?"

Guo Shier nodded. "Is there a mission?"

Nan Yong said, "Basically, the Patriarch doesn't need to do anything. The Patriarch's only task is … when the Gu Jin Family's Patriarch appears, the Patriarch must be able to restrain him and prevent him from attacking our team. Of course, the Patriarch only needs to restrain one of them. If two Patriarchs appear, there will be other reinforcements to restrain them. However, according to our calculations, there is at most one Patriarch expert here.

Guo Shier said, "Okay." With A Handsome Old Man's strength, he should be able to restrain one elder, which was an expert at the third or fifth level of a solid altar.
