Chapter 553: Chapter 419: This Wine, I Share with All of You! (4K+ Asking for Monthly Ticket)_2

Isn’t it a difficult situation!

That’s why he said that!

Unexpectedly, Yangshan shook his head, uttering his classic catchphrase, "No worries!"

"Junior brother, you don’t need to explain to me, Quanzhen is a child with a thunderous heart, he will soon surpass us old guys, why would I blame him? At most, I’ll just take another trip. After all, it also resolves my regret of not having slain a Great Demon."

"Senior brother, are you not going to the Luotian Grand Sacrifice?" Ling Yunzi was surprised, as the Luotian Grand Sacrifice would soon open at the Tao Court Dragon Tiger Mountain.

"What’s the point of going? Let those guys’ disciples compete for the Dragon and Tiger List, you and I will just protect Quanzhen, besides, I’m old and still want to shine a bit."

This Mountain Man Yangshan, whose demeanor commanded respect without anger, seemed hard to approach, but his words were charming, carefree.

Ling Yunzi nodded, inwardly admiring his senior brother’s character and his heartfelt care for his disciples.

He raised his eyes, looking towards Pei Yanhu, and slowly spoke forward, "My master and disciple are fated with Nine Colonels, my beloved disciple even greatly admires the character of Nine Colonels, so let this be our master and disciple’s contribution too."

"And my senior brother has a generous spirit, willing to accompany the respective soldiers on another journey!"

His words, gentle and soft, yet heavy, resonated in everyone’s ears.

The seated Pei Yanhu was originally planning to find an opportunity to ask for the three persons’ assistance, but he didn’t expect that the master and two disciples committed to a decision before he could discuss any further plans.

This camaraderie was undeniably heavy, leaving him momentarily speechless, only able to solemnly say, "The friendship of you three, I, Pei Yanhu, and all the soldiers of the Mountain-cutting Army will remember."

He glanced at the Divine Priestess of Su Nu Sword Sect and Yi Cangtian of Shu Mountain Sword Sect, who appeared serious and were ready to speak, not forgetting these seniors of the Shu’s Martial World who had been dedicatedly presiding over Chuanzhong Pass all this time.

"I know the intentions of you two seniors, no need for further words. Ever since you both started stationed at Chuanzhong Pass, you have wholeheartedly guarded for the people behind, I have watched and felt gratitude in my heart."

"Previously, if we reached an irreversible point, I thought I would have to risk asking you two to leave the pass to assist. Now, with the three gentlemen of Enlightenment Mountain helping us, you two seniors can continue to oversee Chuanzhong Pass, because once we send troops to Zhen Nan Prefecture, the movement of large forces, the demons of other prefectures will certainly notice, once they apply a tactic of cutting off resources, then it would genuinely become a major laughing matter. This time a slight move will have widespread ramifications, making it hard to foresee fortune or calamity."

As he said this, he sighed,

"Even I, Pei Yan, am uncertain about how things will ultimately unfold!"

The Sect Leader of Shu Mountain Sword Sect, Yi Cangtian, upon hearing these words, lowered his sword-like brows slightly,

"Since I, Yi, cannot contribute strength, then let my disciples, Qing Yangzi, and others accompany the army. They have shared life and death experiences with Nine Colonels, forming camaraderie, let them join together."

Previously, when Youmen Pass was broken, and the Mountain-cutting Army suffered consecutive defeats, Chen Yuan was ordered to defend Guang’an Prefecture as part of the Southeast Defense Line. Later, during the recovery battle at Weiyuan Pass, several major sects from Shu assisted in the front lines, forming considerable camaraderie with Chen Yuan coping life and death together.

Just as Shu Mountain Sword Sect’s Qing Yangzi, Sect Master An of Su Nu Sword Sect, and Taoist Li of Fulong Temple.......

The Divine Priestess beside also nodded, dressed in colorful clothing, her hair coiled into cloud-like patterns, yet around her eyes, the years of experience could not be hidden, "Brother Yi’s intent is also mine, let Little An and them follow."

"Though, I would like to ask, what’s Commander Pei’s next plan, since Nine Colonels is in the Ten Thousand Mountains, how will they be guided back? I heard as this young General entered, Commander Pei you mentioned that Nine Colonels has sent new orders, what does this mean?"

The Divine Priestess focused her gaze on Lu Ming to the left, indicating him as she asked the question everyone was keen to know.

Returning the topic to the main agenda, everyone paid attention.

Being asked this, Pei Yanhu gradually composed himself, rose from his seat, and lifted his hand to the slanting rear. Soon a giant object flew in from the rear side.

With a "bang", the object crashed heavily in front of him.

This item stood about two zhang high, with a bronze frame body, inlaid with gold patterns, hanging in the center was a sand table emitting Spirit Light, with a miniature depiction of the mountains and rivers inside.

Pei Yanhu spun the sand table upright, clearly displaying it to everyone, with red flags visible on it.

One marked Chuanzhong Pass, another directly ahead at Zhen Nan Prefecture, with others nearby like Huxia Pass, Jingyuan Prefecture, and even the direction towards the southeast at Weiyuan Pass, and Chishui Prefecture were marked out.

Pei Yanhu came to the sand table, pointing at Zhen Nan Prefecture, above which rippled a water-blue hue, an overlay of mountains and rivers expanded clearly showing a great city.

"This time our target in sending troops is Zhen Nan Prefecture, three days ago, Enlightenment Mountain’s three gentlemen ventured into the enemy’s formations, probing some inner details."

"Currently, in Zhen Nan Prefecture, four Great Demons are stationed, in the city’s center is a Transmission Array for demon redeployment, shielded by a protective formation, opening its portal every three quarters past midnight."

"When the dispatch begins, Ninth Mountain Army will lead to lure their Demon Soldiers and Great Demons out of the city to engage, while various other mountains delegating parts of their troops as auxiliary, advancing dispersed, setting up ambushes in the rear, during which more demon soldiers from the Devil Race will potentially be transported out through transmissions."

"When timing avails, the army will retreat feigning an escape, luring demon soldiers into the trap, executing an ambush, subsequently an elite force will conduct a surprise attack on the Devil Race Transmission Array within Zhen Nan Prefecture. The aim is not to destroy their Transmission Array, but prevent them from shutting it down during transit."

Pei Yanhu then unfolded a rough strategy for dispatching, first arming everyone with an overview of operations, his face becoming serious, and then rose to his feet.

Raising his hand, he beckoned towards the diagonal back, shortly a large object flew from the rear.

The object landed heavily in front of him with a "bang".

This structure, nearly two zhang tall, with a bronze frame and gilt patterns, suspended in the middle was a sand table, radiating Spirit Light, within which was a miniature model of mountains and rivers.

He spun up the sand table, displaying it vertically before the crowd, with red markers on it, clearly visible.

One marked Chuanzhong Pass, another directly in front at Zhen Nan Prefecture, with other adjacent prefectures and passes and demon mountains also having indicators.

Pei Yanhu approached the sand table, pointing to Zhen Nan Prefecture on it, above the location blue ripples spread out, followed by an expanded depiction of the landscape.

"Our mission this time is to launch an attack against Zhen Nan Prefecture, as three gentlemen from Enlightenment Mountain breached and scouted the formation three days ago, noting down the location of a protective formation there that guards a demon redeployment Transmission Array, which opens every night at three-quarters past midnight, we will position our main army outside to lure their demon soldiers and Great Demons out to engage, while other mountains will adjust their forces, dispersing as support to distribute strategically, setting ambushes to intercept them."

"Once the time is right, the main army will feign a retreat, draw them into an ambush, before conducting a sharp surprise attack on Zhen Nan Prefecture, however the elite force only needs to ensure the Transmission Array is not closed halfway, without destroying it."

Pei Yanhu laid out a rough deployment strategy first for the troops, face now stern, then stood up, gesturing diagonally backward, a huge object quickly flew from the rear side.

With a heavy thud, the object landed directly in front of him.

This object stood around two zhang high, a bronze frame with gilt patterns, with a suspended sand table in the middle depicting a miniature map of the terrain.

Pei Yanhu rotated the sand table to a vertical position, clearly displaying it to everyone, with the red markers prominently visible.

Among the markings, one was Chuanzhong Pass, another at the front Zhen Nan Prefecture, and on the side was Huxia Pass, each significant point clearly marked.

He pointed to Zhen Nan Prefecture on the map, where blue water ripples shimmered gently, visualizing a map with mountain and river symbols.

"Our mission is to deploy to the target at Zhen Nan Prefecture. Three sages from Enlightenment Mountain breached the formation three days ago and located a demon redeployment Transmission Array at the center of the city. This array is rigorously guarded by a protective formation and activates at three-quarters past midnight each night to receive entities."

"When the critical moment arises, the main army will execute a feigned retreat, drawing the demon soldiers into a trap, launching a sudden ambush, with an elite unit making a surprise assault on Zhen Nan Prefecture. The crucial action is to ensure the Transmission Array, used for redeploying demons, remains open, without any interruption in its operation."

As Pei Yanhu laid out a broad strategy for troop deployment to the group, his expression became resolute while he stood up, before drawing a giant figure from behind his side.

The heavy object landed with a "bang" right in front of him.

This item, towering around two zhang, with a bronze framework and gilded design, displayed a miniature topographical map with spiritual light pulsating in its center.

Approaching the sand table, Pei Yanhu used his hand to point, revealing Zhen Nan Prefecture towards the top left, the location glowing softly with a water-blue ripple as a map of mountains and valleys widened into view.

"We will march our troops towards Zhen Nan Prefecture as our target this time; three days ago, three noble scholars from Enlightenment Mountain charged the formation and sketched out a diagram of a protective formation safeguarding a demon redeployment Transmission Array situated centrally in there, active at three-quarters past midnight when it opens for transfer."

"When the moment is ripe, the army will feign retreat, to lure the demon soldiers into a trap, for a wave of ambush strikes. Subsequently, an elite force will stage a surprise attack on Zhen Nan Prefecture. The crucial task is to ensure that the Transmission Array for demon redeployment remains open, rather than being closed midway."
