"I believe that all of you don't want anything to happen to General He as well, right?"
Duan Lingtian's gaze descended onto the group of soldiers before him.
Instantly, the scene was deathly silent.
The nearly 90,000 soldiers had now gone silent.
"Alright! Everyone, today, in front of everyone, I, Duan Lingtian, make a military pledge … Three days from now, our side will surely breach the Southern Barbaric City and directly attack the enemy's stronghold to take revenge for the 10,000 plus brothers that have died! "
In next to no time, Duan Lingtian's voice became slightly louder, and his momentum shot into the sky like a rainbow.
Duan Lingtian's words caused the eyes of the nearly 90,000 soldiers to light up.
Now, they didn't dare underestimate this violet clothed youth.
This was a figure that had once seen through the flaws in the battle strategy formulated by Gu Xuan … With Nie Fen as a witness, they firmly believed this without the slightest doubt.
"All of you stand up! Properly recuperate and accumulate strength. Three days from now, we'll attack the Southern Barbaric City and wash away our humiliation! "
Duan Lingtian's voice abruptly became louder, and it was extremely infectious.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
…
Instantly, the nearly 90,000 border army soldiers that were kneeling on the ground stood up one after another, and all of them had excited expressions.
"Wash away our humiliation!"
"Wash away our humiliation!"
…
Amidst the mighty and excited shouts, the nearly 90,000 soldiers all retreated.
At this moment, no one present dared underestimate the violet clothed youth that stood there …
"If he's able to continue staying in the Crimson Sky Kingdom, then he'll surely be a figure on the same level as the Divine Might Marquis in the future … No, he might even surpass the Divine Might Marquis!"
He Wei An was slightly moved when he saw the group of brothers under his command being persuaded to retreat by Duan Lingtian, and his eyes emitted reverence.
This youth had obtained his respect!
"This kid … He's stolen my limelight."
Nie Fen's brows raised, then he shook his head and laughed as he muttered to himself.
"General He, send some unrelated people away … Otherwise, I won't have the mood to discuss strategy with all of you."
Duan Lingtian's gaze descended onto He Wei An, and it seemed as if he was referring to something.
"Brother Ling Tian, don't worry."
He Wei An nodded and returned to the tent. He looked at Gu Xuan and said, "Young Master Gu, I'll arrange a horse for you immediately. Please leave."
"Then why aren't you making the arrangements?"
Gu Xuan glared. He didn't want to stay in this place for a moment longer.
Right now, he only wanted to return to the Imperial City and live his life as a young master.
"Duan Lingtian, you're really something."
Xiao Xun looked at Duan Lingtian and laughed. "You didn't see the faces of General He and those two strategists just now … It was as marvelous as marvelous. However, you didn't tell us that you also reminded Commander Nie of the 'flaws' in Gu Xuan's strategy. "
"Don't you know now?"
Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled.
Xiao Yu looked at Duan Lingtian and didn't know what to say for a long time. In the end, he could only spit out two words, "Pervert!"
Soon, Gu Xuan appeared in front of Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian's eyes slightly narrowed.
"Hmph!"
Gu Xuan coldly swept Duan Lingtian with his gaze and sneered. "Duan Lingtian, don't think I'll be grateful to you … Also, don't be complacent! You're just a grade 1 student of the Star Mastermind Department. Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? You think you can think of a way to breach Southern Barbaric City? "
Before Duan Lingtian could speak, Xiao Xun couldn't watch any longer and ridiculed. "That's still better than some people's lousy strategy that cheated over 10,000 soldiers to death! I'm really curious, what will happen if his majesty the Emperor finds out about this … At that time, even if the Prime Minister is able to save your life, the punishment shouldn't be light, right? "
"You!"
Gu Xuan was angered by Xiao Xun to the point his face went pale.
"Young Master Gu, you can leave now …"
Right at this moment, He Wei An's cold and indifferent voice sounded out.
Gu Xuan glared angrily at Xiao Xun, then his icy cold gaze swept past Duan Lingtian once more before leaving.
"He really got off easy!"
Xiao Xun's face sank when he saw Gu Xuan leave.
"That might not be the case."
Duan Lingtian lightly smiled with a mysterious and unfathomable expression.
In next to no time, Duan Lingtian and Nie Fen walked side by side into the tent.
He Wei An and the two strategists walked in as well.
Presently, Duan Lingtian was surrounded by everyone like a myriad of stars surrounding the moon.
"Brother Ling Tian, I apologize for what happened last time."
He Wei An looked at Duan Lingtian with a sincere expression.
"General He, there's no need to be like this. I've already said that you were prejudiced by the interference of some people …. Coupled with my age, it's extremely difficult to convince others."
Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled with an indifferent expression.
"Brother Ling Tian has such bearing at such an age, you'll surely be a peerless figure in the future."
He Wei An spoke in admiration.
"General He, there's no need to be courteous with me …. Let's get down to business."
Duan Lingtian's gaze quickly descended onto the model layout of the Southern Barbaric City before him.
In an instant, Duan Lingtian's eyes flickered with a sheen of wisdom, and he slowly spoke as he pointed ….
He had the imposing manner of passing judgment on the world!
In his previous life, Duan Ling Tian had ingeniously used the thirty-six stratagems that had been passed down since ancient times in the Hua Nation on Earth, such as' taking drastic measures to deal with the situation 'and' borrowing arrows with straw boats'.
Before long, almost everyone present was immersed in the stratagems that Duan Lingtian formulated.
After a long time.
"Wonderful! Too wonderful! Especially this' Grass Boat Borrowing Arrows, 'it fully utilized the wide moat outside the Southern Barbaric City …. We originally didn't have many bows and arrows, and if we used bows and arrows to forcefully attack, we could only hold on for a while. But now it's different, we can completely take their arrows for our own use. "
He Wei An had been in the army for many years and had abundant experience. His acute sense of smell told him that with the combination of these three stratagems, as long as he grasped the right timing, he would surely be able to take down the Southern Barbaric City!
The other two strategists reacted as well, and they looked at Duan Lingtian as they respectfully bowed. "Brother Ling Tian is a genius!"
Nie Fen glanced deeply at Duan Lingtian.
The shock in his heart wasn't any less than He Wei An's group of three.
Although he'd seen Duan Lingtian's stratagem of 'crossing the sea by deception,' he never imagined that Duan Lingtian would be able to think of so many brilliant stratagems.
Moreover, the three brilliant stratagems that Duan Lingtian spoke of now were even more closely linked!
Including Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun, all the Star Mastermind Department students looked at the violet-clothed youth before them in disbelief ….
They even wished for nothing more than to break open the youth's head and see what was actually inside!
Even the two people who were originally by Gu Xuan's side and had always been hostile towards Duan Lingtian could see admiration in each other's eyes when they glanced at each other.
"The stratagem that we formulated today is only a rough idea …. Once we're on the battlefield, we'll have to improvise according to the situation!"
Duan Lingtian wasn't surprised when he saw the shock on everyone's faces.
The 36 stratagems were the 'treasures' that were passed down from the ancient ancestors of China on Earth in his previous life. If used properly, one would be invincible in battle!
"I believe that with Brother Ling Tian commanding us, we'll surely be able to obtain a great victory!"
A smile appeared on He Wei An's face as well, and his eyes seemed to be slightly excited. Because he could finally take revenge for the 10,000 plus brothers that had died under his command.
"Then we'll depart three days later. Our Crimson Wyrm Army will be in charge of the 'assault,' and your border army will be in charge of the 'frontal assault.'"
Nie Fen nodded as well and made the decision.
In next to no time, everyone dispersed one after another.
Three days later, they'd set out for Southern Barbaric City and wash away their previous disgrace!
Xiao Xun looked at Duan Lingtian when he'd just returned to the tent and asked. "Duan Lingtian, what the heck is in your head? Taking drastic measures to deal with the situation, sneaking around, borrowing money with straw boats …. I've never heard of these stratagems before! How did you think of them? Also, when Gu Xuan left, what did you mean when you said 'that might not be the case?' "
Duan Lingtian shrugged. "Xiao Xun, how do you want me to answer you with so many questions? I can't be bothered with you! When the time comes, you'll naturally know. “
Xiao Xun laughed bitterly.
Xiao Yu, however, seemed to have long since known that this would be the outcome, so he didn't ask a single word.
Even so, the gaze he looked at Duan Lingtian with was extremely complicated.
Perhaps, being able to become friends with Duan Lingtian in this lifetime could be considered as his greatest gain and honor ….
Outside Relentless Thriving City, a fine horse galloped out.
A young man in a slightly sorry state ceaselessly clamped his legs onto the horse's belly, and the horsewhip in his hand didn't stop, ceaselessly spurring the horse beneath him to speed up without end.
After galloping for a few kilometers, the young man noticed that the speed of the horse beneath him had slowed down.
In next to no time, the horse directly fell down, foaming at the mouth and not making a sound.
Obviously, it had been poisoned to death!
The young man's face went grim as he faintly realized that there was something strange about this matter.
Right at this moment.
"Giddy up!"
"Giddy up!"
...
10 tall horses galloped over, and in the blink of an eye, they surrounded the young man in the center.
On the 10 horses were 10 middle-aged men in casual clothes, and they were currently staring at the young man with cold and indifferent expressions. Their eyes flickered with bloodthirsty killing intent.
"You all …. I know you, you're a Captain of the border army! And you, you're a Captain as well! "
The young man felt that these people were familiar at the beginning, and in next to no time, he recalled them.
These people had respectfully obeyed his orders on the battlefield yesterday and led the army to attack Southern Barbaric City ….
"Young Master Gu, when you're on the road to hell, remember to apologize to our 10,000 plus brothers."
One of the Captains that was recognized shot an icy cold gaze at the young man, as if he was looking at a dead man.
"You all …. How audacious of you! I'm the son of the Prime Minister, you all dare touch me? "
The young man was precisely Gu Xuan.
Gu Xuan never imagined that after escaping Relentless Thriving City, he would actually encounter the border army's pursuit, and his expression was incomparably unsightly.
"The son of the Prime Minister?"
Another Captain sneered. "If it wasn't for you being the son of the Prime Minister, do you think you'd be able to walk out of our campsite? If it wasn't for us being worried that the General would be implicated, do you think we would be so kind as to let you leave? That's over 10,000 lives! "
As he finished speaking, this Captain was slightly hysterical.
"You …. You all can't kill me …. You can't kill me …. So long as you don't kill me, I'll give you anything you want …. Glory, splendor, wealth, a group of beauties, I can give you anything you want!"
Gu Xuan was afraid, he was truly afraid.
