Chapter 520: Chapter 403: Find an Opportunity to Kill This Guy (4K+ Seeking Monthly Tickets)_2

In the future, the situation might worsen because our general openly defied the court at Tianxiong Pass, and we still don’t know the court’s stance. Although the Demon Suppression General has spoken, it won’t likely be favorable.

However, this isn’t an unsolvable problem!

"No worries, the key is to deploy those sealed Taoist Soldiers and War Puppets. As for the Basic Elixirs and Talismans, I’ll relay the general’s message to the city families, asking them to help procure enough," Liu Qing slowly said.

What he wanted were the Taoist Soldiers collected and sealed in the arsenal over the years, and the highly lethal War Puppets activated by the Mo Family’s Mechanism Techniques. As for consumables like Elixirs and Talismans, they would be purchased from the city’s workshops, managed by various city families, and by conveying the general’s message, these families would likely accommodate.

"Yes!" Yang Changshi’s expression eased, and he answered.

"Please, the two of you, sit down!"

The two nodded and returned to their seats.

At this point, Liu Qing’s gaze turned to Lu Ming on the other side, and the others also looked at this Right Road Divine Might Cavalry General.

Lu Ming understood, his eyes slowly moving, and he spoke, "I’ve been ordered by the general to lead troops to build defensive works outside Jingguan City, requiring a lot of manpower, as it’s critical."

Saying this, his gaze fell on the Four City Mayors, Guo, Sun, Zhang, and Ji, seated at the end,

"This requires your four help!"

The four immediately rose, saluted forward, and awaited orders.

The Eastern City Governor took the lead and spoke, "Please instruct us, General Lu!"

Lu Ming pondered, "After your return, release a document early tomorrow according to the government office’s records. Recruit a large number of civilians and craftsmen within the city and county suburbs using a half-labor, half-pay model, and coordinate their logistics, supplies, and transport... you should be well-versed in these matters. In short, the Cavalry expects you to gather enough manpower to start construction quickly."

"I’ll arrange my subordinates to assist you and clarify some specific details."

"Do you understand, gentlemen?"

"We understand," the four mayors nodded in response, with tense expressions beneath their lowered brows. This clearly indicated a serious undertaking.

They could imagine the importance of this battle; the repercussions of failure were unimaginable, which made their spirits tense, their heartbeats quickening.

"Sit back down!"

Lu Ming finished issuing his instructions.

The atmosphere became tense and somber with each word spoken by the attendees.

Silence briefly fell, and it was evident to the participants that the Ninth Mountain had resolved, with each of the three Cavalry Captains having their plans.

The oppressive feeling of a storm brewing was palpable, weighing on everyone’s mood.

Finally, Yun Tiansheng broke the silence, "Alright, we are not heading to certain death. Our general has his intentions."

Then, his gaze shifted, glancing at the others,

"Everyone, don’t just stand there. This battle has already begun, so let’s get busy!"

He clapped his hands, and the door of the hall swung open with a bang.

Those present understood and began to stand one after another.

"Then, we take our leave,"

The Four City Mayors bowed to the head of the table and prepared to depart.

Yang Changshi and Director Wu did so simultaneously.

As they were about to leave, a mild voice reached their ears, "Today’s discussions are military secrets. The general doesn’t want any mentions outside; if anyone does, beware."

"Yes, yes, yes,"

Those leaving weren’t annoyed. Naturally, the matter is serious, and spreading word about it could cost lives; nobody would overlook that.

Among them, the South City Governor, Guo Lixiong, felt uneasy, sensing the comment might be aimed at him since his wayward son was expelled from the Ninth Mountain for loose talk.

He warned himself to keep his mouth shut and decided to confine his son upon returning home.

Soon, everyone left the hall.

The last to leave were Gao Yu and Fan Chou, who usually oversaw other matters for The Overseers. After some final discussions with Yun Tiansheng and others, they departed, some worried, some frowning.

After a pot of tea time, only Yun Tiansheng, Liu Qing, and Lu Ming remained seated opposite each other in the hall.

With the door open, the three became silent, quietly watching the swirling snow outside and listening to the chaotic neighing of horses.

At some point, Liu Qing spoke heavily, "They all think the general is still at Ninth Mountain leading us. We don’t know if what we’re doing is right or wrong."

"This is what the general instructed us to do. We’re just lacking his courage and resolve with him absent. Still, we need to grow stronger quickly and uphold Ninth Mountain. No matter the risks, we must retrieve the general!" Yun Tiansheng declared firmly with determined eyes.

"Old Yun is right!" Lu Ming slapped the armrest, his large eyes then turning to Liu Qing, "Old Liu, when do you plan to deploy troops?"

"As soon as possible. However, in this past month at General Mountain, many made breakthroughs in Martial Arts, advancing significantly. Some old subordinates are attempting to breach the Heavenly Pass, but their current weapons and armor are inadequate, requiring reformation to unleash their full potential. Moreover, advancing deep into the demon territory is dangerous; dying to demons over such trivialities is unworthy."

"It’s a pity; if we had more time, Ninth Mountain’s overall strength would improve significantly, and those old subordinates might all break through Heavenly Pass."

Those Liu Qing referred to were veteran soldiers who survived numerous battles from the time of the last Lang General, advancing significantly now.

Yun Tiansheng and Lu Ming were aware of this, and Yun Tiansheng’s gaze flickered,

"Don’t rush. Have you forgotten?"

"The resources the general left for our tens of thousands of soldiers!"

"The corpses of hundreds of Heavenly Pass Demons!" freewёbnoνel.com

"Distribute this flesh and blood among the soldiers to quickly boost their strength. Reserve some Demon Bones for Lu Ming; they will be invaluable for constructing arrays. Use some Demon Bones and demon materials like skin and scales to forge weapons and armor for your frontline troops at each mountain’s Sword and Spear Department."

"Achieve three goals at once!"

"I considered this too, but the general hasn’t ordered it," Liu Qing was somewhat rigid.

Yun Tiansheng helplessly shook his head, "The general told Mr. Gongsun to inform us to act with discretion. At this critical moment, you’re still hesitating? If the general knew, he’d scold us for being foolish like pigs."

"Indeed, let’s do it this way!"

Quickly, the three reached a consensus.

With the enormous resource of hundreds of Heavenly Pass Demon corpses, it was invaluable at this critical juncture.

Good steel should be used on the blade’s edge. With these augmentations, Ninth Mountain’s strength could elevate significantly in a short time!

Yun Tiansheng and the others suddenly recalled the valiant woman in a red dress who left in the afternoon, their hearts filled with admiration.

After the general’s mishap, this woman took charge, settled tens of thousands of government soldiers, escorted valuable demon flesh back to Jingguan, and harbored no personal interests, resolving many issues for Ninth Mountain.

Thus, the three connected with the summit of Ninth Mountain.

The following day at dawn, when the morning bell chimed, the Four City Prefectural Offices sent horses with official messengers through streets and alleys. Gates were knocked on, and notices were posted.

Jingguan City soon bustled with activity!

..........

Meanwhile, tens of thousands of miles away, at the Ten Thousand Mountains, Yin Mountain Territory, a Water Curtain Cave behind a stream a hundred miles south of an original wasteland.

In the waterfall, three splashes suddenly rose, and from each converged a remarkable figure that stepped into the cave behind the water curtain.

"Brother Chen, as expected, following your method, we saw that ship reveal itself in the underground river where we previously stayed. This thing is still trailing us."

Upon manifesting, the three saw Chen Yuan, sitting cross-legged on a green stone, and spoke in a solemn tone.

On the green stone, Chen Yuan opened his eyes, a cold light extending three feet beyond, exceptionally piercing.

"Be courteous before force. If this being doesn’t follow protocol, seize an opportunity to kill it!"
