He didn't expect to be in a military meeting, but this was to be expected. Since the reinforcements from the Phoenix Legion had arrived, they naturally had to come to the main camp to listen to the commander's orders.
As for his current status as a member of the logistics department, he had to put in some effort when he heard the commander's orders. After that, Yi Tian got up and slowly walked out of the tent towards the central command tent.
Along the way, he saw many cultivators rushing over. Many of them were wearing armor that was clearly different from the imperial army. Needless to say, they were definitely from the Phoenix Legion. Fortunately, he had concealed his spirit pressure and looked like a Yuanying cultivator, so no one noticed him.
He walked in from the side and saw Qiao Yongjun sitting in the main seat. Beside him was a cultivator wearing fiery red armor. His strength was actually at the late stage of the Spirit Severing Stage.
He carefully examined Qiao Yongjun and saw that although he was calm, he was definitely having a headache about how to deal with the Phoenix Legion. Although the guest army was here to help, he didn't know if he could command them.
No wonder he personally came to find him. His intention was clear. He wanted to cooperate with him to control the Phoenix Legion.
He found a seat behind the people from the logistics department and sat down. A person of his status was nothing in front of a group of commanders. If it weren't for his noble status, he probably wouldn't even be able to participate in this kind of military meeting.
However, there were also some people who knew the inside story. As soon as he entered the main tent through the side door, he felt a divine sense sweep over his body. Needless to say, it was Qiao Yongjun sitting in the main seat. Yi Tian looked over and saw Qiao Yongjun talking with the commander of the Phoenix Legion. Qiao Yongjun's gaze swept across the people below.
Once he was seated, Qiao Yongjun cleared his throat and said, "Now that everyone is present, let's begin the military meeting."
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and signaled for the cover on the table to be removed. Then the sand table was revealed.
Yi Tian sized up the marching sand table. It looked like it had taken some effort to build. He had circled around Mirror Lake before, so he could still remember the general topography of the place. She looked at the sand table and saw the areas where the Royal Guards and the Phoenix Legion were stationed.
There were also several flags on the northern shore of the Mirror Lake. The general location of the flags was similar to what he remembered. It should be the location of several barbarian armies.
Qiao Yongjun was the one in charge of the entire military meeting. During this time, the Phoenix Special Forces' commander also spoke a few words. Most of it was about the tasks of the joint defense.
However, he heard from others that this deputy commander was called Lou Zhenqiang. Although he was the second-in-command of the Phoenix Soaring Army, the position of commander had been empty for a thousand years. The Empire had not sent anyone to replace him. In reality, he had been the first-in-command for a thousand years.
However, Yi Tian remembered that Luo Yilan had specially checked the many names on the Asura Heavenly Life Chart, and one of them was Lou Zhenqiang. A character who could enter the eyes of a dacheng stage cultivator should not be a simple character.
Slowly sizing up this person from the side, he saw that he was a man in his thirties. His face was covered with a full beard, and he looked like a soldier. In contrast, Qiao Yongjun, who was also the commander-in-chief of the marching army, looked more like a scholarly general.
However, the spiritual pressure on Lou Zhenqiang's body was completely restrained. He was definitely a powerful master, and he was stronger than the commander. No wonder Qiao Yongjun had such a headache. Although he was the commander, his strength was slightly inferior. It was impossible to command the Phoenix Special Forces like this. Unless he could give up enough benefits, he would be fighting alone in this war against the barbarians.
Soon, after Qiao Yongjun assigned the tasks, he let everyone disperse. However, as soon as Yi Tian stood up, he heard Qiao Yongjun's voice transmission in his ear, "Please discuss in the back tent." After that, he turned around and walked in the direction of the back tent without looking back. It seemed that he had no intention of sending Lou Zhenqiang off.
The latter was not angry. He stood up and hurriedly left with a group of followers. Before leaving, he looked at Yi Tian in the blink of an eye and said, "Viscount Hongshan, I have prepared a banquet in the Phoenix Special Forces tonight. Please don't refuse."
Unexpectedly, this person's eyes were like torches. He expected that he did not reveal any flaws when he used the Thousand Faces Technique. But since he invited him, he naturally saw something.
After thinking about it, Yi Tian nodded slightly to him, then turned and left the tent from the side door of the camp. Since he had promised Qiao Yongjun to talk first, he should go and listen to what he had to say. Presumably, during the time he was not in the camp, Lou Zhenqiang of the Phoenix Special Forces seemed to have something happened.
After a while, Yi Tian quietly sneaked into the commander-in-chief's tent. Qiao Yongjun had prepared a banquet and was waiting for him. After entering, he opened the soundproof barrier again. Yi Tian slowly walked forward and sat down in front of him. After a while, he sat down and asked, "May I know why you asked me to come here in such a hurry?"
"Brother Yi, what do you think of this war against the barbarians?" Qiao Yongjun did not beat around the bush and asked directly.
"It's extremely difficult," Yi Tian shook his head and said, "I went to investigate the terrain of Mingjing Lake and found that the barbarian army seems to have been stationed here for a long time. However, they are not in a hurry to attack. Instead, they are looking for something."
"Brother Yi, what is your purpose of coming here?" Qiao Yongjun asked teasingly, "I am roughly looking for something similar to what the barbarians are looking for."
"Oh, how did Fellow Qiao know?" Yi Tian said without changing his expression. In fact, he couldn't help but think more highly of him in his heart.
"With your identity, there is no need for you to leave the imperial capital so easily. Moreover, this time, the Empress sent you directly under my command. The meaning is self-evident," Qiao Yongjun analyzed.
"That's because Luo Ziyan is afraid that you can't do anything alone, so she asked me to help you. This is also the balance of power," Yi Tian deliberately diverted the topic.
"If you really want to help me, you can just send the Phoenix Legion. I have long suspected this," Qiao Yongjun said disdainfully, "I think we still have the premise of cooperation. At least from the information we have now, the barbarian army opposite us has at least two cultivators in the late stage of the Spirit Severing stage, one in the middle stage of the Spirit Severing stage, and two in the early stage of the Spirit Severing stage. In terms of strength, they have an overwhelming advantage over our army."
"It seems that the other party has also sent out all their elites. This time, their plan at Mingjing Lake is not small," Yi Tian sighed. He did not expect that the barbarian army would actually send out so many high-level cultivators. It was hard to believe that there was nothing fishy about this.
