Qin Chaocang's question immediately stumped Feng Yan.
Admittedly, it was Her Highness Feng Yan's own decision to favor Long Long, but she also hoped that the Canglong clan's allies would recognize this judgment.
However, Qin Chaocang always maintained a mysterious and noncommittal attitude, which made Feng Yan feel a little annoyed.
Regardless of whether I think highly of him or not... Aren't you the most clear-headed people about the strength and skills of the Dragon Clan's cultivators? Why are you asking me?
Feng Yan laughed and said:
"Elder Qin has no confidence in Long Long? Then I have even higher expectations for him."
"Why is this?" Qin Chaocang asked curiously.
“There are countless talented people who show off their talents, but only one in a million can hide his or her shortcomings,” Feng Yan said.
Qin Chaocang was speechless when he heard this, thinking to himself that it was true.
I called the kid to the command room and asked him about his views on the current war situation. If it were his high-spirited fellow dragons, they would have been eager to offer suggestions.
As a result, this kid said to me, "I dare not speak nonsense because of my ignorance", which made Qin Chaocang almost lose his composure.
If you don't have talent, why hide your incompetence? Your Highness Feng Yan has some truth in what she said. Perhaps I should give Long Long a little more trust.
"What do you think, Your Highness Feng Yan?" Qin Chaocang asked tentatively, "This Yu Clan's military power..."
"What do you think, Elder Qin?" Feng Yan asked tentatively.
"How about this," Qin Chaocang said, "How about you and I write down our ideas in our hands and then spread them out at the same time?"
"Very good." Feng Yan nodded.
So the two of them turned around, picked up their pens and wrote, then clenched their fists, faced each other, and slowly loosened their fingers.
There was nothing in Qin Chaocang's hand, and there was nothing in Feng Yan's hand either.
But the two of them burst into laughter for no other reason:
If you let go, it means "delegating power".
Since he dares to ask for it, give him the power!
Soon, Long Long received a transfer order, asking him to take Long Hu to the southern front of Yuanjiang City in the north to implement a plan to rescue the remaining troops in the city.
Along with the transfer order, there was also Qin Chaocang's Green Scale Order and Feng Yan's Red Feather Arrow. Both were symbols of military power in their respective tribes. Long Long could use them to go to the front battlefield and command any cultivator from the Feather or Scale tribes.
The person who delivered the transfer order was a young girl. Long Long recognized her as one of Qin Chaocang's granddaughters, named Qin Lu.
Although he has a fair and delicate appearance, he is usually quiet and therefore not well-known among the second generation of the Dragon Clan's powerful elite.
"Grandpa told me to go with you two." Qin Lu said calmly, "There are subordinates of my grandfather in the army. When they saw me, they knew it was my grandfather's intention."
Long Long and Long Hu immediately understood that Qin Chaocang was worried that the Qinglin Order alone would not be enough to suppress the unruly dragon cultivators on the front line, so he specially asked Qin Lu to go over to support them.
In fact, large demon tribes like the Canglong and Zhuniao often have both a conscription system and a recruitment system. That is, every cultivator in the tribe needs to serve on the battlefield for a certain number of years, but after the number of years is up, they can choose to retire and return to the tribe to rest, or continue to serve on the battlefield.
Because the people of the Eastern Emperor Realm are tough and wars are frequent, each tribe has invested heavily in the military. The treatment for military service is considered upper-middle class within the tribe, resulting in many clan members of high bloodline status liking to fight for merit on the battlefield and get rewards to ensure their subsequent training.
These monks who have been serving voluntarily for a long time will naturally stick together over time and become a pro-war and xenophobic military faction within the tribe.
A "noble son" like Long Long, who has not served for a long time but was only conscripted because of the war, was directly parachuted in to become the commander-in-chief of everyone. He will most likely be hostile to or even resisted by these factions.
With Qin Chaocang's granddaughter accompanying him, it was equivalent to Qin Chaocang himself coming forward. Even if the troublemakers were dissatisfied with Long Long, the young dragon, they had to give face to the great elder of the dragon clan.
After receiving the order, the three men set off quickly, riding on the clouds and mist, heading north day and night, and soon arrived at the southern plains of Yuanjiang City.
Somewhere in the hills surrounding the plain, there was a dense array of battlefield formations, leaving almost no room for anyone to infiltrate.
On the left side, near the river, is the dragon clan's "Thousand Scales and Ten Thousand Layers Formation". Anyone who enters the formation will be entangled by the strong wind, unable to move, and at the mercy of others.
On the right side, near the hills, is the Feather Tribe's "Red Blood Burning Heart Formation". Anyone who enters the formation will have a fire in their heart, which will burn more and more fiercely until they are burned to death.
Long Long looked carefully and found that the single array structures of these two arrays were relatively simple, but the terrifying thing was that they were densely packed, with at least hundreds of thousands of them spread on the ground, and the number of crystals behind them used to support the energy consumption of the array must be an astronomical number.
With so many formations, even if an immortal ancestor broke in without permission, he would be killed or injured by the full energy of the people who presided over the formations.
In previous wars, there would be no need to adopt such a luxurious positional warfare posture.
But in the previous war between West Province and North Province, the White Tiger General Lu Yan defeated the defense formation of the largest fortress in North Province with one blow, causing everyone to be like frightened birds. When setting up camp and forming formations, they wish they could lay down 100 million formations, so that no matter who the general or ancestor is, he will be wiped out if he breaks in.
Soon, cultivators from the Dragon and Feather tribes came out and confirmed the bloodlines and identities of Long Long, Long Hu and Qin Lu. Then they led them through the formation and headed towards the front-line command post.
The front-line command post was set up inside the hills and was constructed by the Scale Tribe who were good at digging. This was to prevent the White Tiger General from using decapitation tactics to wipe out the command post, causing the war in Nanzhou to become completely ruined and beyond repair.
Long Long, Long Hu and Qin Lu followed the winding tunnel, passing through countless checkpoints and various identity verification procedures before finally arriving at the command center.
The indoor space here is not big, but there are quite a lot of people.
Long Long squinted and saw five Dragon Clan monks and five Feather Clan monks talking and arguing loudly around the war sand table. There were also two Feather Clan monks who were probably doing odd jobs. One was making tea in the corner, and the other was standing at the gate in a daze.
The one in a daze was none other than Jin Yan, a cultivator from the Jinwu clan.
In the past, this birdman served as a guard of Her Highness Feng Yan. He had once fought with Long Long, but was badly defeated. However, he was still stubborn and refused to admit defeat. He gave Long Long a feather as compensation, saying it was a proof of revenge and he would take it back when he won in the future.
When Jin Yan saw Long Long and the others coming, he was startled and shouted subconsciously:
"Why is it you?"
"Why can't it be me?" Long Long asked back.
The question and answer between the two completely interrupted the quarrel and discussion in the room.
"Jin Yan, what are you making such a fuss about!" one of the Feather Clan elders shouted.
Jin Yan quickly explained:
"Elder Zhu Ping, these are the newly arrived Dragon Clan monks. I am asking about their purpose of coming."
The Feather Clan elder seemed to be the leader of all the Feather Clan cultivators present. Upon hearing this, he looked at Long Long and others.
With just a glance, he knew that Long Long was the leader among the three. His brows furrowed, his expression turned cold, and he shouted majestically:
"It's a military stronghold. Why are you here?"
"I'm here on orders from Elder Qin and Her Highness Feng Yan to take over your command authority at the front line." Long Long replied indifferently.
On both sides behind him, Long Hu and Qin Lu held the Green Scale Order and the Red Feather Arrow, and quickly showed them to everyone present for inspection.
The room immediately fell silent, and the atmosphere became strange and eerie.
