Chapter 42: Unexpected, Long Long



If the Dragon Clan was speechless, then the Feather Clan was angry.

Elder Kong Ping immediately flew into a rage at the Dragon Clan messenger and said coldly:

"Go back and tell Qin Sitong that they, the Dragon Clan, can play house with a young boy, but we, the Feather Clan, don't have the time for that!"

Seeing that Elder Kong did not disappoint everyone and scolded the envoy sent by the Dragon Clan, everyone suddenly felt relieved and refreshed.

After cursing, they started to grumble to each other.

Her Highness Feng Yan's level of scolding was much higher than that of Elder Kong Ping. If the latter made people blush and burn with anger, then the former made people feel so ashamed that they wanted to jump into a well and commit suicide.

We disobeyed her orders and didn't give Long Long face. Even if we put all the blame on Elder Kong Ping later, we and others would inevitably be implicated.

Thinking of this, everyone felt a little guilty, so someone looked at the command sand table and asked curiously to divert the uneasiness in his heart:

"Eh? What kind of madness did Qin Sitong have? He actually obeyed the young man's order and moved the battle line forward? Aren't you afraid that the White Tiger God will make a tactical adjustment in the future and take advantage of the gaps between their formation changes to defeat our troops?"

"Who knows?" Another Feather Clan monk sneered, "The Dragon Clan is seeking death on their own. Can we stop them?"

Everyone started talking in unison and mocking each other. Plus, the voices of the Feathered Tribe were high-pitched and easy to distinguish, so the entire command room was suddenly filled with mocking and ridiculing sounds.

"If the White Tiger God defeats the Dragon Clan with this, won't he attack us next?" Suddenly, someone said something that spoiled the mood.

The atmosphere quickly became tense again.

Everyone was happily talking and making sarcastic remarks, but when they were interrupted like this, they were immediately at a loss. They were so angry that they all glared at each other, looking for the ungrateful guy who had ruined the fun.

"What does it matter?" Elder Kong Ping waved his hand in disapproval. "If the Dragon Clan reveals such a flaw and is defeated by the enemy, it just proves that they are not worthy of being our Feather Clan's allies. Even if it doesn't happen this time, there will be a next time, and the next time. In the end, we still can't prevent it."

"That's right." Everyone nodded in agreement.

"In short, we should follow our plan." Elder Kong Ping continued, "Everyone should hold the line and not give the other side any chance to take advantage."

After a while, a messenger came to report that the dragon clan had indeed moved their front line forward.

Although the Feather Clan does not have alphabetical magic weapons such as the chessboard, they are good at flying and sound transmission spells, and their command speed is not much behind.

Soon, everyone discovered that it was indeed as the dragon clan had said before, there was an obvious disconnect and gap between the two sides' formations.

"Don't worry about it!" Elder Kong Ping waved his hand. "This is a problem of the dragon clan moving forward without authorization. It's not our problem."

"But it seems that there are enemies in the opposite formation heading towards this gap." The messenger said quickly, "There are about three hundred of them... No, four hundred!"

Elder Kong Ping frowned, feeling that the matter was not simple. The surrounding Feather Clan generals also began to murmur:

"With so many monks, they must be planning to force their way in from the disconnection point and divide and annihilate us, right?"

"Divide and annihilate them?" Elder Kong Ping sneered, "With the small number of people on the other side, can they do it?"

"What if the White Tiger God General sends troops from the eastern position of Yuanjiang City?" Another Feather Clan general said worriedly, "First cut off our connection with the Dragon Clan, then besiege us, and then send more troops to annihilate us..."

At this point, everyone was no fool and soon realized the danger hidden behind it.

Elder Kong Ping also knew that he had made a mistake in his thinking, but he still used the unique stubbornness of the Feather Clan to defend himself:

"If that's the case, the dragons couldn't have anticipated this, so why did they risk the formation being disconnected and forcefully move the front line forward?"

"They can take the water route and won't be surrounded..." Someone said this again, and Elder Kong Ping suddenly came to his senses as if struck by lightning.

If the connection with the Dragon Clan is cut off by the enemy, the Dragon Clan can still escape by water, but what about the Feather Clan?

Although the Feather Tribe can fly, the nearby plain terrain means that the sky is almost completely visible from the ground. If they evacuate by force, it will most likely cost a lot.

"Quick!" Elder Kong Ping suddenly realized his mistake and shouted angrily, "Move the front line forward in coordination with the dragon clan!"

This order seemed to be issued after the fact, but the Feather Clan monks present knew the seriousness of the matter and immediately carried it out with great haste.

Although the order came late, the high mobility of the Feather Clan made up for it. The monks simply flapped their wings, glided and dived, then landed one after another and began to form a formation in the new position.

Just as the Qilin and White Tiger coalition had rushed halfway across the distance, the Feather Clan's defensive formation had already been rearranged and connected with the Dragon Clan's formation again, forming a seamless whole.

In the siege camp of Yuanjiang City, Lü Yan was sitting on one side of the chessboard, holding the white piece. After listening to the messenger's report, he nodded and said:

"It's normal to be late to catch up. Oftentimes, the flaws revealed by the opponent are only fleeting. You have to distinguish which flaws you can seize, and then do your best to break it; which flaws you don't have much chance of catching, so just try a few times, and don't be discouraged if you fail."

"I remember, Master." Qi Yingzhu sat on the other side of the chessboard and nodded seriously.

"Well, the vanguard can be withdrawn." Lu Yan put down the chess piece in his hand, "Also, let the three teams on the waterway return to the main camp, and the fourth team switch from ambush to defense."

"Master, didn't you deliberately reduce the number of troops guarding the waterways in order to lure the enemy into an ambush?" Qi Yingzhu suddenly asked curiously, "Why did you abandon this plan now?"

"Look at the current situation." Lu Yan did not answer directly, but just said.

Qi Yingzhu looked at it carefully, and finally seemed to understand something.

Originally, the defense line of the Dragon Clan and the Feather Clan was some distance away from the siege position of the Qilin and White Tiger, so any military action the other side could take was possible, and the tactics were quite variable.

If the enemy attacks by land, we will give them a head-on blow;

If the enemy attacks from underwater and falls into our trap, we will launch an ambush to eat them up.

But the other side did not take either of these two paths, but chose to move the confrontation position forward.

The distance the position moved forward was just right, to a position where the conflict between the two sides was about to break out, but just a little short of the distance where they could attack each other.

In this case, the trend of full-scale assault seems to be inevitable, so the plan of luring the enemy to attack by water is naturally abandoned temporarily, and replaced by open defense - in order to achieve the effect of encirclement and annihilation, the ambush requires more troops than the open defense. Drawing out this part of the troops will also help organize the front line of defense.

The next second, another messenger came to report:

The Dragon Clan dispatched two hundred monks to directly attack the right wing of the coalition forces by water!

As expected! Qi Yingzhu smiled coldly. As expected, the opponent did not choose to sneak attack, but attacked openly.

Unexpected, right, Longlong?

Your every move is within the expectations of my master and me!
