In the wooden hut, Su Mo was meditating and cultivating. He did not know that the endless killing desire had begun to crazily interweave and was about to entangle him.
Su Mo did not cultivate for long. In just over two hours, Ren Tianya sent someone to summon him to the General's Mansion.
Su Mo understood. It seemed that the news had been investigated and there would be a war soon.
Then, he immediately ended his cultivation and headed to the General's Mansion with Ren Tianya and the other generals from the Dark Cloud Army and the Red Dragon Camp.
In the General's Residence, all the generals were gathered in the main hall. General Zhu Long and the Second Princess were both present.
"Everyone, according to reliable sources, we have investigated the cities, towns and mineral veins that were occupied by the Blood Pupil Clan and the troops stationed there!"
General Zhu Long's eyes were like lightning as he scanned the crowd and continued, "The Blood Pupil Clan's troops are very strong and it seems like they want to take over these places."
"General Zhu, what is the exact strength of the Blood Pupil Clan in these places?" Commander Jin Tai asked.
"There are more than 2000 Blood Pupil Clansmen in every place and many of them are Martial Honorables!" Zhu Long said.
"Are there any high rank Martial Honored Realm experts?" Someone asked.
"No, only low-level and intermediate-level martial venerables!" Zhu Long shook his head.
When everyone heard this, their expressions relaxed. If that was the case, it would be a piece of cake for them to take back these places.
"I've already discussed it with the Second Princess. We're going to split our forces into seventeen groups and take back all of these places!" Zhu Long said loudly.
"I agree!"
"I agree too!"
"There's no time to lose. Let's take action now!"
Everyone started to speak and they were all eager to try. The Blood Pupil Clan did not have any powerful experts guarding those places and it would not be a problem to snatch them back.
Su Mo frowned and was speechless. Were these people brainless?
"General Zhu, Second Princess, I have something to say!" Su Mo said loudly.
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Su Mo.
The eyes of Jin Lu, Zhu Tong, Zhu Ying and the rest glittered. They did not know what Su Mo was up to.
They all had their own plans, but they were worried that Su Mo would play some tricks!
"Su Mo, feel free to speak your mind!" the Second Princess said.
Su Mo nodded his head and said in a clear voice, "The Blood Pupil Clan knows that we are here to provide reinforcements and the army that surrounded Black Mountain Fort has retreated in advance. Has no one thought about why they have not retreated from the ten places that they have occupied?"
Su Mo's eyes flashed like lightning as he scanned the crowd and continued, "Don't tell me that the Blood Pupil Clan doesn't know that we want to take back the lands that they have conquered? Could it be that the troops they left behind are for us to kill? "
Su Mo's voice rang in everyone's ears, causing them to frown.
Indeed, this was a problem. The Blood Pupil Clan couldn't be so stupid right?
Even if they wanted to completely occupy these places, they couldn't just deploy such a small number of troops!
"Second Princess, General Zhu, what do you think?" Su Mo looked at the Second Princess and General Zhu Long.
Su Mo had already thought of this. This was a very obvious problem. If he wasn't careful, he would fall into the trap of the Blood Pupil Clan.
If he rashly sent people out to take back these places, the people that he sent out might be killed by the Blood Pupil Clan.
"Su Mo, we have a way to deal with this!" The Second Princess said. She had naturally thought of such a simple logic before.
"Su Mo, is it? You are worrying too much! "
General Zhu Long smiled and said, "Now, we have spies all around the Black Mountain Fort. The Blood Pupil Clan Army has already retreated from the Holy Dynasty Territory. The Blood Pupil Clan Army in the conquered lands are like turtles in a jar!"
The crowd nodded their heads. It seemed that General Zhu Long had his own plans and they didn't have to worry too much about this.
Furthermore, they were all experts. Even if they were in Black Mountain Fort, their spiritual senses would be able to cover a radius of a few hundred thousand miles.
As long as there was no Blood Pupil Clan Army, they would be fine.
"General Zhu, has the Blood Pupil Clan Army really retreated? Do the spies have any concrete news? "Su Mo asked again. He felt that there was something wrong.
It was impossible for the Blood Pupil Clan to leave a mere two thousand men in each conquered land after the army retreated.
"The Blood Pupil Clan Army has already retreated to the other side of Black Mountain. We will keep an eye on the situation at Black Mountain!" General Zhu Long said.
Black Mountain was the mountain range in front of the Fort. This mountain range was the border between the Blood Pupil Clan and the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction.
Within Black Mountain was the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction's territory. On the other side of Black Mountain was the Blood Pupil Clan's territory.
General Zhu Long stared at Su Mo and a flash of light passed through his eyes. Zhu Ying and Zhu Tong had already looked for him and he naturally had to help them.
What he didn't expect was that Su Mo was such a cautious person.
Su Mo nodded his head. Since Zhu Long had already made arrangements, he had nothing else to say.
However, he still felt that something was amiss. However, he couldn't tell what exactly was wrong.
"Princess, let's not waste any more time. How about we send some men to the 17 conquered lands now?" Zhu Long looked at the Second Princess.
"Mm, what does General Zhu think?" The Second Princess nodded her head and asked. She was only here as reinforcements and everything was still up to Zhu Long.
"I think that we should split our men into 17 groups and take back these conquered lands in one fell swoop!"
Zhu Long's face darkened as he continued, "My men and your men will go together. Three thousand men will be led by a high rank Martial Honourable. What do you think?"
"No problem!" The Second Princess nodded her head. A high rank Martial Honourable leading a few middle rank Martial Honourables would be enough.
"Alright, then I will arrange the missions!"
Zhu Long said in a deep voice. With that, a Jade Slip appeared in his hand and he immediately looked through it.
This Jade Slip recorded the situation of the Black Cloud Army and Red Dragon Camp's military strength and the generals. The Second Princess had already provided it to Zhu Long.
After a while, Zhu Long stood up and looked at the generals with a piercing gaze. He said in a loud voice, "Kong Kun, Ji Yu, Li Hai, listen up. I order the three of you to lead your men to White Rock City and kill the two thousand Blood Pupil Clan members there!"
"Yes, General!"
Immediately, three men stood up and cupped their fists towards Zhu Long. They then immediately turned around and strode out of the main hall.
Among these three men, one was the deputy general of the Black Mountain Fort, another was the general of the Black Cloud Army and the last was the squadron leader of the Red Dragon Camp.
The three of them had more than three thousand men under their command. Most of them were the Black Cloud Army and the Red Dragon Camp.
"Jin Lu, Zhang Yue, Meng Yunyi, I order the three of you to lead your men to Qiu Ta Town and kill the Blood Pupil Clan members there!" Zhu Long ordered again.
This time, the three of them were the same as before. There was a general of the Black Cloud Army, a general of the Black Cloud Army and a squadron leader of the Red Dragon Camp.
Among the three generals in each batch, there was a high rank Martial Honourable.
In the first batch of three, the general of the Black Cloud Army was of Level 7 Martial Honourable Realm cultivation. In the second batch of three, the general of the Black Cloud Army was also of Level 7 Martial Honourable Realm cultivation.
"Yes!" Jin Lu and the other two also stood up and cupped their fists. They then strode out of the main hall to gather their men.
Before Jin Lu walked out of the main hall, he glanced at Su Mo out of the corner of his eye and a sharp, cold light flashed across his eyes.
"Cheng Guang, Jian Jun, Luo Jianqing …!"
"Qiu Yifeng, Cao Yu, Qiao Fei …!"
"…"
General Zhu Long did not stop talking and gave out orders one by one. Batches of generals obeyed his orders and walked out of the main hall.
This time, the people that were sent out were basically all experts. As for the Second Princess, Jin Tai, Ren Tianya and the others, they naturally would not go out personally. They only needed to stay in the Fort.
Orders rang out continuously and not long later, it was finally Su Mo's turn.
"Huo Yi, Zhu Tong, Su Mo, I order the three of you to lead your men to the Dark Mountain Iron Mine and kill the Blood Pupil Clan members who have occupied the mine!" Zhu Long's voice rang out.
