âOtherwise, in a few years, youâll be done for,â
âWhat about the future of the Luo Family then?â
âSo, donât blame me for being ruthlessâ¦â
After finishing his tea, Luo Changfeng stood up quietly and walked towards the outside of the courtyard.
There was something he needed to handle.
If left unchecked, it would inevitably lead to a major disaster.
â¦
The border region between Huai Shui County and Yellow Mountain County.
At this moment, the Luo Familyâs roughly forty-six or seven thousand armored elites remained, having suffered the loss of two to three thousand.
And the hundreds of thousands of bandits from White Lotus Stockade.
Between the two forces, the standoff was still at an impasse.
On the Luo Familyâs side, there was no rash action taken because Luo Yong, the chief commander, had left.
And on the White Lotus Stockadeâs side, they were preparing to form up their formation at any moment, and were waiting for their extraordinarily lethal giant crossbow carts.
Therefore, the White Lotus Stockade did not make any rash movements either.
In this continuous deadlock,
Luo Yong, the Family Head of the Luo Family, finally returned to this military camp.
âBrother Luo, youâre back?â
âEarlier you said you were going back to get something, so what exactly did you get?â
Inside the commanderâs tent.
That man dressed in a Taoist robe and holding a White Feather Fan, the great swindler Tang Jian,
looked at Luo Yong who had finally returned
and couldnât help but ask in a low voice.
âYouâll know soon enoughâ¦â
Luo Yong did not respond directly but pulled Tang Jian out of the commanderâs tent.
âBy the way, did anything happen while I was away?â
Outside the commanderâs tent, Luo Yong thought for a moment, then suddenly asked quietly.
âWhat else could have happened?â
Tang Jian shook his head somewhat helplessly and said softly, âWhite Lotus Stockade is still motionless, maintaining their formation, neither advancing nor retreating, not knowing what they are really waiting forâ¦â
âNo matter what White Lotus Stockade is waiting for, it doesnât matter anymore.â
Luo Yong waved his hand and then pulled out a stack of talismans from his sleeve.
He waved the stack of talismans in front of Tang Jian,
and with a somewhat smug expression said, âDo you know what these are?â
Tang Jian looked and replied, âCooling charms, Rain Seeking Talismans, andâ¦â
He had seen the special talismans for cooling and rain-seeking,
But that last special kind of talisman, the Invisibility Talisman,
That was something Tang Jian had truly never seen before.
âThe last one is an Invisibility Talisman, meant for the hundred Mo Yu Cavalry members.â
âAs for the Cooling Charms and the Rain Seeking Talismans before it, they are to be used against the bandit soldiers of White Lotus Stockade.â
As Luo Yong spoke,
Tang Jian couldnât help but be momentarily stunned.
Cooling Charms were meant to lower the temperature a bit to make people cooler, werenât they?
Rain Seeking Talismans were for farming, right?
These items could be used against the bandits of White Lotus Stockade?
However, just a moment later,
Tang Jian seemed to understand.
âAre you planning toâ¦â
Before Tang Jian could finish speaking, Luo Yong silently nodded and said with a serious look, âYes, itâs exactly what youâre thinking. If we were to stack the effects of dozens, hundreds, even thousands of Cooling Charms or Rain Seeking Talismans, we could even play a trick like bringing down a deluge from the sky.â
âAfter the flood, if those bandits from White Lotus Stockade can still hold on,â
âThen weâll turn the effect of the Cooling Charms up to the maximum, bringing the temperature down to the lowest it can go.â
âI refuse to believe that, after a series of such maneuvers,â
âThe bandit soldiers from White Lotus Stockade will still be able to persist stubbornly.â
âGood, even after all that, if the bandits from White Lotus Stockade can still hold on,â
âTheir combat strength will probably be reduced to less than one tenth of its original.â
âBy that time, it will be our opportunity to reap the lives of those bandits from White Lotus Stockade.â
â¦
On the side of the Luo Familyâs army,
Luo Yong had already returned with the talismans,
and he had begun planning the details of the forthcoming flood and extreme cold assault.
Meanwhile, in the bandit camp of White Lotus Stockade,
the giant crossbow carts, which had been transported from their stronghold and crafted by Artifact Refiners,
had finally arrived at the border region adjacent to Huai Shui County.
âSecond in command, the giant crossbow carts have arrived, totaling a hundred carts. Shall we proceed with the attack on the Luo Family of Huai Shui County?â
Within the camp of White Lotus Stockadeâs bandit army,
the second in command of White Lotus Stockade, with his fiery red short hair, about two and a half meters in height, with a robust frame like that of a monster,
upon hearing these words,
couldnât help but show a hint of ecstasy on his face.
They have arrived, finally arrived.
With this battlefield behemoth, the giant crossbow cart,
Their forces from White Lotus Stockade would finally reach their full strength.
âIssue my command, attack!!!â
The second in command of White Lotus Stockade, instructed a minor high-ranking member of the stockade in a low voice.
Following the orders given by White Lotus Stockadeâs bandit army,
The hundreds of thousands of bandit soldiers from White Lotus Stockade got up and started to close in on the location of the Luo Familyâs army.
White Lotus Stockade, with their overwhelming numbers and formidable presence,
naturally could not be matched by the Luo Family.
After all, they had nearly ten times fewer people.
But war,
is not a game where the number of people makes all the difference.
âGeneral, the bandits from White Lotus Stockade have started moving and are closing in on our directionâ¦â
At a vantage point.
A vice-general suddenly arrived next to Luo Yong.
