Chapter 163: 109, 110, Turmoil like fire, Song Cheng leads troops (Big Chapter - Request for subscription)_4

Looking at the eager expression of the sticky little maid in his arms,

Song Cheng nodded and said, "Alright, from now on, wherever I go, you go. The military camp, Scripture Pavilion, everywhere is fine..."

Upon hearing this, Ying was overjoyed, her heart close to her lord, fluttering like a fawn...

...

The next day, early morning.

Song Cheng donned his family’s best armor from the warehouse—the Mysterious Iron Chain Soft Armor. This mechanized armor was personally forged by Master Shui Mo.

The Mysterious Iron Armor was dim, with unknown demon beasts’ gaping mouths on both shoulders and stomach, showcasing its ferocity.

Combined with the young man’s delicate face, it displayed a peculiar charm.

After dressing, he sat down for breakfast, and then three people arrived.

First was Zhao Hua.

Then there were two young disciples.

Song Cheng brought them along.

After all, teaching one was teaching, teaching a group was also teaching.

Of course, Ying had special treatment, which was Song Cheng’s manual massage to promote the integration of energy.

After eating, he went to the training ground to watch the soldiers drill, and then went to the Scripture Pavilion of Shanhe Martial Arts Hall.

Due to Tie Zhenyi’s triumphant return from Northern Snow State, there were many more cultivation techniques in the Scripture Pavilion, and many of these techniques were incomplete isolated copies... that is, there were Force Realm Techniques but not the subsequent Form Realm; there were Form Realm Techniques but not the preceding Force Realm, let alone Qi Realm.

Song Cheng patiently flipped through those Form Realm Techniques.

His "True Form of Xuanwu" had never reached its ultimate state, lacking these techniques.

The young soldier in armor, flipping through books, stood motionless, with gang qi roaming wildly within, his flesh under the Mysterious Iron Armor like a cloud-like dark golden statue.

As with previously cultivating Force Realm Techniques, Song Cheng did not need to assign points when practicing these Form Realm Techniques.

What he needed to do was pass through, covering all the areas within him that had not yet been cultivated.

Looking at these techniques, rather than saying it was cultivation, it was patching up deficiencies and conducting improvements.

Therefore, sometimes after finishing a book on Form Realm Techniques, the technique was directly perfected.

When he felt slightly tired from cultivation, he would take military books to read.

The military books talked about a lot of theoretical things, including formations and such.

The role of formations was to establish a "firmly rising military momentum."

Such as the Arrowhead Formation, with the army like an arrow, the vanguard being death squads and martial arts world experts, attacking the enemy with this "arrowhead" was bound to relatively ensure strong military momentum.

Such as the Fish Scale Formation, Long Snake Formation, Half Moon Formation, and so on... most formations were arranged according to the names mentioned in the formation.

And the book mentioned some rather mysterious formations, such as "Nine Sons Ghost Mother," "Eight Stars Locking Sun," and others.

These formations had many operational elements, so the "places ensuring strong military momentum are also many," making it easier for generals mastering such formations to achieve victory.

But these mysterious formations were merely mentioned, the author of the military book wasn’t even sure if they existed.

This reminded Song Cheng of those people from the Six Towns.

There should have been someone among them who mastered "mysterious formations."

He looked at the book, cultivating and occasionally glancing at the people around him.

Interestingly, Ying and the Barbarian King’s young daughter Yuan Biye were both practicing martial arts.

Meanwhile, Zhao Hua and Yuan Shouyu were reading military books.

The four of them frequently sought his guidance.

In martial arts, Song Cheng casually gave pointers, every word hitting the mark.

In military strategy, he also discussed by linking the data fluctuations he observed.

After gaining some insights, he would go to the two camps for drills to digest what he had learned.

...

Time flew by, and more than half a month had passed.

The cold bitterness in the weather gradually dissipated, and the temperature finally began to warm up.

Many people breathed a sigh of relief because this meant that this year... perhaps the Ghost Tide wouldn’t come.

Song Cheng looked at Sister An’s increasingly larger belly day by day, feeling joyful in his heart, and found motivation in his daily busyness.

During these last weeks, he directly merged the Red Tiger Camp and the White Leopard Camp into one, called the Tiger and Leopard Camp.

Before the integration, many people weren’t optimistic.

However, after several drills by Song Cheng, the two camps miraculously merged together.

Originally, the generals of the two camps, who thought Song Cheng was a "powerful martial artist" but not adept at military tactics, secretly admired him, marveling that this Northern Region Blade King was a prodigy, because if it were them... it would be impossible to merge the two camps so quickly.

How could they be integrated without half a year of running-in?

But Song Cheng accomplished it in just a few days.

This young man seemed to possess a mysterious power, merely by pointing out some people during drills, adjusting some positions, and making some alterations, he turned dissonance into harmony.

And everyone adapted to the boy sitting on the high platform of the training ground, reading while watching the drills.

On this day, while they were training, an urgent messenger soldier hurriedly returned from outside.

The galloping horse kicked up dust, and the messenger was initially supposed to report to Shanhe Martial Arts Hall first, but since the Northern Region Blade King was stationed here, he came directly.

"What is it?" Song Cheng asked, looking up.

The messenger reported, "General, an edict was issued from the Imperial Capital, ordering all sides to encircle and suppress Northern Snow State."

Song Cheng curiously asked, "Why is this?"

The messenger explained, "It is said that the Six Towns are insatiably greedy, harboring wolf-like ambitions. After occupying Northern Snow State and growing their forces, they wish to continue southward, seizing more lands and controlling more people."

Song Cheng understood...

In the past two years, there hadn’t been a good harvest, and this year finally returned to normal. The Six Towns were frightened of hunger; thus, they wanted to seize more land before autumn arrived and gather crops when the season came.

However, the situation elsewhere was none of his concern for the time being.
