Chapter 1766: Chapter 1759: Personally Taking the Field

In other words, the reason why Yichuan Fei trusts the Advance Team so much, especially Luo’er, is because he witnessed the miracles created by the Advance Team led by Luo’er through Boyan.

It must be admitted that the Demon Clan could defeat the Dongsheng Army, whether it was the Demon Clan army itself, the Advance Team, or the Wen Family generals of the Dongsheng Army, there were close connections.

Without the Demon Clan, the Advance Team alone, relying on the High-peak people, could not possibly defeat the numerous Dongsheng Army.

Without the Advance Team, the Demon Clan could not grasp the advanced military technology system, especially the modern combat system designed specifically around firearms.

The Demon Clan defeated the Dongsheng Army by relying on advanced military technology and tactical systems.

And without the support of the Wen Family generals within the Dongsheng Army, the Dongsheng Army would not have collapsed so quickly.

Even Cheng Ziang felt that these Wen Family generals, seemingly commanding the army to advance, were actually deliberately dragging to slack off. It’s just that the Demon Clan’s army was too incompetent, which led to the situation where the Dongsheng Army marched triumphantly forward.

Because if not understood this way, many inexplicable phenomena would occur.

For example, the Dongsheng Army has thousands of Kunzhou fleets, yet they are only used for transporting supplies and personnel.

But it’s known that even randomly picking someone from the Advance Team to command the Dongsheng Army’s air fleet would surely use the Kunzhou for high-altitude penetration to directly disrupt the Demon Clan’s army’s rear and supply lines.

The Demon Clan army only grasped two-dimensional tactics, while the Dongsheng Army grasped three-dimensional tactics. High dimensions overwhelming low dimensions require no brain power, as the gap between them is so obvious even a child could see it.

Moreover, based on the Advance Team’s understanding of the Demon Clan army, the Demon Clan army had no solutions for threats from the air, merely optimistically estimating that the Dongsheng Army wouldn’t dare to deploy their air fleets. Sometimes it’s hard to decide if they should be praised for their ’fool’s luck’.

Initially, Cheng Ziang thought it was the Dongsheng Army being overly cautious and rigid, afraid to boldly take new actions and adopt airborne tactics.

But along the way, Cheng Ziang gradually realized that the Dongsheng Army was not rigid. The generals of the Dongsheng Army were far from ordinary.

They most likely knew they could adopt airborne assault tactics, but they did not apply it on the battlefield. This can only be understood as them not wanting to completely annihilate the Demon Clan but rather to eliminate dissenters within their own army, specifically those military generals.

"Young Lord, are you alright?" Yi Xiang’s words interrupted Cheng Ziang’s contemplation, bringing him back to reality.

"Oh, sorry, I got distracted." Cheng Ziang admitted apologetically.

"No need to worry about that; you all are guests of the Yichuan Clan and should be treated with proper courtesy." Yi Xiang said with a smile.

Looking at her charming smile, Cheng Ziang suddenly thought of another question as he scratched his head.

If the actual head of Liangyu Mansion is Yichuan Fei, then as his wife, does Yi Xiang preside over the affairs when he is not at the mansion, or is she merely a gilded cage’s canary?

No, no, she couldn’t be a canary!

If memory serves, it was under Yichuan Xv’s lead that she found the Advance Team’s residence. In other words, even someone as strong as Yichuan Xv was willing to lead her, indicating her status in Liangyu Mansion and the entire Yichuan Clan wasn’t low, at least Yichuan Xv was willing to heed her words.

As for Yichuan Xv, the deeper Cheng Ziang understood this person, the more he felt how terrifying this unassuming fellow could be.

It should be said that Yichuan Xv can be considered one of the strongest of normal persons, excluding Nascent Souls.

His existence almost blurs the distinction between Royal Dao and Ba Path, he wields magical power with ease and skillfully uses his body as both offensive and defensive weapons.

At Liangyu Mansion, Cheng Ziang could easily hear subordinates discussing Yichuan Xv, repeatedly used as a conversation piece. The Advance Team also grasped information about Yichuan Xv through these people.

Though the Yichuan Clan is the leader of the Wen Family, they always displayed a worship of force, and the clan even harbors the world’s number one cultivator.

Thus, it is evident that the Yichuan Clan isn’t antiquated. Given the prevailing cultivation culture and the reality of power, no one would easily abandon it.

The Wen Family’s true mission is to correct the easy encroachment of national order by cultivation forces. No matter how powerful the cultivation forces or how invincible cultivators are, they should not and cannot trample on the national legal system.

"Since my husband is not here, it falls upon me to entertain you," Yi Xiang paused and continued, "In fact, I also want to take this opportunity to thank you. Without your assistance, my brother might have perished in the West Outer Heaven, let alone risen to prominence."

"Has your brother always been active in West Outer Heaven?" Cheng Ziang asked instinctively.

"Yes," Yi Xiang nodded, "My brother has been connecting Kyushu and West Outer Heaven. Ever since the Heavenly Army mobilized, the situation in West Outer Heaven has become complicated. I have repeatedly advised him to temporarily abandon his business, but he just can’t let go of it..."

"It seems, Madam, you also come from a merchant family." Cheng Ziang commented.

"It’s just making a living, and inevitably looked down upon..." Yi Xiang said, eyes showing a trace of subtle melancholy.

"Then, right now, is your brother..." Cheng Ziang probed.

"Since returning to Kyushu, my brother has been active across various states, rarely coming home." Yi Xiang replied.

"Is that so, that’s really unfortunate." Cheng Ziang remarked with a hint of disappointment.

"If the Young Lord wishes to meet him, I can keep an eye out, and if my brother returns, I’ll send someone to inform you." Yi Xiang said.

"Thank you very much, Madam." Cheng Ziang nodded.

It turned out that Boyan had a good relationship with the Yichuan Clan. It seems letting him escort Yichuan Ying was indeed timely.

Cheng Ziang recalled again Boyan’s expression when he mentioned Yichuan Ying. This guy was really as steady as an old dog, fooling them all.

After some preparation, the servants arranged tables and chairs in the courtyard’s waterside pavilion and laid out a feast, seemingly ready to entertain the Advance Team.

This time Luo’er did not play the role of a secluded saint but came to the banquet openly. According to him, he must also play the role of a saint and not let outsiders think a saint is just a vase.

This was Yi Xiang’s first time seeing Luo’er, just like most people. Everyone who meets Luo’er is captivated by his stunning appearance.

"The saint truly looks celestial, it seems the rumors are not mere hearsay." After her astonishment, Yi Xiang immediately realized her rudeness and said slightly apologetically.

"Madam flatters me, the flickering light dares not compete with the sun and moon." Luo’er said with a gentle smile, showing a poised demeanor.

The banquet unfolded in a harmonious atmosphere, and with outsiders present, every member of the Advance Team exhibited courteous behavior. Even rude Hu Daoke delicately picked up his food.

Luo’er clearly became the leading figure of the banquet, overshadowing Yi Xiang who hosted them, completely seizing the initiative.

As he ventured deeper into the Dongsheng Empire’s territory and came into contact with its upper echelons, Cheng Ziang’s limitations became increasingly apparent, something Luo’er was well aware of.

Everyone in the Advance Team was quite intelligent, whether in academic achievements or strategic wisdom, there were those better than Luo’er.

In academic research, no one surpassed Baiyue. In strategy and planning, Cheng Ziang and Tangmo also performed admirably. Compared to them, Luo’er seemed somewhat mediocre.

But as previously noted, Luo’er’s expertise lies in what is most crucial to the entire team, that is, decision-making.

Luo’er played a role in the Advance Team almost equivalent to that of Captain and Political Commissar, both formulating strategies and attending to personnel care.

Tangmo was strong but had clear limitations, so often he dared not let his alter ego emerge carelessly.

Though Cheng Ziang was a good consultant, often indecisive, he managed most situations but as he ventured deeper into the Dongsheng Empire, his limitations became increasingly evident.

At such times, it was Luo’er’s turn to step in. While he didn’t claim to be smarter than others, he was willing to make courageous decisions and take responsibility for them.

Based solely on this quality, it was enough to justify his role as Captain.
