"Great General!"
"Great General!"
"Great General!"
… …
Earth-Shattering shouts resounded in all directions. At this moment, Duwusili was like a god in their eyes. Ever since he had started cultivating formation phenomena, everyone had sensed that Duwusili's aura was getting stronger and stronger. With each passing day, the pressure exuding from his body grew stronger and stronger.
Crackle!
Suddenly, a blazing bolt of lightning struck down from the center of the formation phenomena, striking Duwusili down below. With a hiss, Duwusili's body crackled with electricity, but Duwusili was able to absorb all of it.
Bolt after bolt of lightning descended, and Duwu Sili's aura once more began to swell under the effects of this lightning.
After a long while, the formation phenomena in the sky began to weaken, and Duwusili finally opened his eyes. That pitch-black Turkic steed slowly descended with Duwusili.
"Hahaha, formation phenomena truly are powerful. In just a few short moments, my strength has risen once more!"
Duwusili slowly raised his head, his eyes exuding a sharp light.
Duwusili had been a Great General for a very long time, and it had not taken Duwusili much time to rise from the initial level of Great General to the ranks of the elite Great Generals. But it would not be so easy to advance any further. Duwusili had never imagined that his strength could rise again. It was simply inconceivable.
"Congratulations, Great General! Your strength has risen to another level. In the future, not even Abu Muslim will be a match for Great General!"
"Now that you've cultivated formation phenomena, the Khagan is certain to value Milord even more. Even Great General Wunu Shibi will have to lower his head before Great General!"
Shamshak and Chekun Benba hurriedly went to greet Duwusili.
Wunu Shibi was the Western Turkic War God, just like the Ouzan Great General We Tadra Khonglo and the Tang Dynasty's Wang Zhongsi. In the Western Turks, he was also known as the Sun Great General, one of the few existences capable of surpassing Duwusili. Duwusili had once clashed with him over the issue of military authority.
"Hmph, there's no need for you two to flatter me. With my current strength, defeating Wunu Shibi won't be that easy. However, if I hadn't obtained the Sun God Art and its mantra, Wunu Shibi might not have been able to surpass me. "
Duwusili said coldly.
Although he was brimming with hostility toward Wunu Shibi, Duwusili had to admit that Wunu Shibi was truly the strongest Great General of the Western Turks.
Shamshak and Chekun Benba's eyes flickered, but they did not continue speaking.
"General, the formation phenomena we've been practicing have already begun to take shape. His Excellency's strength is also stronger than before. When are we going to destroy the Tang dynasty again?"
Shamshak suddenly said.
"There's no rush!"
Duwusili waved his hand and calmly said, "I've only just begun my cultivation.
If I want to display my full power, I must end my cultivation and wait for my cultivation to completely stabilize. Before that, without my order, you are forbidden from fighting with the Tang people. "
"Yes!"
Now that this was a serious matter, Shamshak and Chekun Benba did not dare to tarry and bowed.
"Shamshak, what's the range of the army's guard?"
Duwusili sternly said.
"Twenty li! We've already dispatched twenty waves of cavalry to patrol the area day and night, and we've also dispatched golden eagles to patrol the skies. As long as the Tang people get close, we'll immediately know if there's even the slightest sign of trouble. "
Shamshak bowed and respectfully said.
"Increase the army's guard to sixty li! From Talas to here, I want you to patrol day and night. You can't give the Tang people any chances or openings. In addition, double the number of people patrolling the perimeter. If it's at night, double the number. The Tang people like to attack at night. Until I've successfully cultivated formation phenomena, I don't want any of the Tang people to appear before me. "
Duwusili sternly said.
"Yes, Milord!"
Everyone lowered their heads.
With everything in place, Duwusili's expression finally relaxed.
"In addition, send a letter to Dalun Ruozan and ask for his opinion. In Talas, no one understands the Tang people more than he does. "
"Your subordinate will go!"
… …
While Duwusili was waiting for Dalun Ruozan's reply, he could never have imagined that the Ouzan camp was already abuzz with rage.
"Bastard! This Duwusili is too despicable! He's using such a despicable method to deal with us! "
In the Ouzan camp. Bang! Huoba Sangye slammed his fist on the table, unable to restrain his rage.
After observing the Western Turks for six to seven days, he had finally managed to obtain the three sheets of paper from Dalun Ruozan. But Huoba Sangye had never imagined that the most crucial part of the paper would be missing a few words. Just the difference of a few words was enough to turn these three precious pieces of paper into waste paper.
"No, I have to go find him! No matter what, I have to make him hand over the true formation phenomena! "
Huoba Sangye grabbed the papers and was about to go find Duwusili, but a moment later, a white and powerful hand reached out from the side and blocked Huoba Sangye's path.
"Wait a moment."
Huoshu Huizang slightly shook his head and shot a glance at Huoba Sangye. Huoba Sangye paused and turned his head, subconsciously looking at Dalun Ruozan, his brow deeply furrowed and his face pensive.
The tent was quiet as all the generals looked to Dalun Ruozan, but Dalun Ruozan seemed to be completely unaware of their gazes, still deep in thought.
"In truth, even if we go find Duwusili, we'll find it very difficult to get anything out of his hands. He truly did hand over the formation phenomena to us, and all four of us were present at the time. Even if we say that he tampered with the papers, we don't have any concrete evidence, and Duwusili will never admit to it. "
In the tent, the silent Dusong Mangpoje suddenly spoke up. Duwusili's methods truly were displeasing, but the four of them were also at fault, and they could not completely blame Duwusili.
Huoba Sangye's face froze, and he was momentarily speechless.
"But Duwusili clearly tricked us. Are we just going to let it go?"
Huoba Sangye unwillingly said.
As the commander of the Mutri Great Cavalry, Huoba Sangye had never suffered such a loss before, and Duwusili had tampered with the papers in front of the four of them.
"That's not what I'm worried about right now …"
A voice suddenly resounded through the tent. Dalun Ruozan suddenly spoke, and as he spoke, he slowly raised his head.
"I've always felt that this matter isn't that simple. Duwusili obtained the formation phenomena far too easily and smoothly. When Duwusili's strength began to rise, I felt even more strongly. Things going too smoothly is not necessarily a good thing. Moreover, Wang Chong is not the sort of person who would so easily hand over something that he's formidable to someone else.
"If the formation phenomena were fake, wouldn't it be even more inconceivable that it could increase Duwusili's strength?"
Dusong Mangpoje said.
"This is also why I've never been able to determine whether it's true or not."
Dalun Ruozan sternly said. There were very few things that he was unsure of, but when it came to formation phenomena, Dalun Ruozan truly had no way of determining whether it was real or fake.
"If this matter really is as I think, then this Young Marquis of the Tang Dynasty is up to something big. Duwusili is probably going to suffer at his hands!"
The eyes of the trio in the tent imperceptibly flickered. Up until now, there had been no sign that was worthy of Dalun Ruozan's suspicion. On the contrary, everything pointed to the authenticity of the formation phenomena.
But even so, no one dared to ignore the intuition of a wise man until the truth was confirmed.
"Huoba Sangye, take this simplified version of the formation phenomena and cultivate it. Let me think about the rest. If I can't give you an answer in a month, or if the formation phenomena really are real, I will go find Duwusili and ask for the real formation phenomena."
Dalun Ruozan raised his head.
"This … fine."
Huoba Sangye hesitated for a few moments before finally nodding. In the current situation, this was the best method. Moreover, Huoba Sangye had never looked down on Dalun Ruozan's promises. Since he had promised to find the real formation phenomena, he would definitely do it.
"Neigh!"
As they were discussing, the neighing of Neigh's horse came from outside the tent, mixed with the sounds of chaos. They had not paid much attention at the start, but as the chaos grew, they could occasionally hear the shouts of soldiers.
"What's going on? Has the Tang Dynasty decided to launch a sneak attack? "
Huoba Sangye asked in alarm. Ouzan's people were very disciplined, and with Dalun Ruozan present, they were usually very orderly, with no problems occurring unless they were attacked by outsiders.
"Prime Minister, I'll go out and take a look."
Dusong Mangpoje's brow creased as he rushed out of the tent, vanishing in the blink of an eye. Dusong Mangpoje was the Eagle of the Plateau, an expert of the Great General level. They had originally believed that with his appearance, the chaos would quickly subside, but they had not expected what would happen next …
"Prime Minister, hurry and come out and take a look!"
Dusong Mangpoje's voice suddenly came from outside the tent, his voice extremely solemn. Outside the tent, the neighing of the warhorses had not only not weakened, but had grown even louder.
Within the tent, Dalun Ruozan, Huoshu Huizang, and Huoba Sangye glanced at each other in dismay. Dalun Ruozan quickly stood up from the table.
"Let's go!"
