"Yes!" Jiang Wei nodded in acceptance.
Ye Feng then looked at Luo Lin and commanded, "All production in Silla City must continue; stopping it will only make the problem worse. As long as Silla City maintains normal order, the situation can't get much worse!"
“I understand, Ancestor,” Rowling replied.
Then Ye Feng looked at Zi Jing and said, "You should also get ready. After Jiang Wei returns with the intelligence he has gathered, we will prepare to annihilate that Crimson Tail Beast!"
Zijing nodded repeatedly.
Luo Qing then asked, "Ancestor, Ancestor, what about me?"
Ye Feng looked at Luo Qing and said with a smile, "You don't need to participate this time. You should take a good rest. After all, you've already worked very hard."
Hearing Ye Feng say that, Luo Qing pouted in dissatisfaction.
Luo Qing is really busy in Xinluo City. Not only is she the director of the construction department of Xinluo City, handling many construction-related matters every day, but she is also constantly engaged in research and development.
Artificial spirit stones, spirit stone grenades, fully automatic explosive rifles, spirit nets... these are all Luo Qing's masterpieces, and she even received praise from Ye Feng.
That's why Luo Qing was full of energy and took on a lot of work herself.
Although Luo Qing often complained to Ye Feng that she didn't even have time to rest, she enjoyed it and even found it tiresome.
Now that Ye Feng has given Luo Qing a day off to rest, the little girl is unhappy, feeling that she has been marginalized by the ancestor.
“I’m doing this for your own good. And if I’m not mistaken, there won’t be many of those Red-tailed Beasts, and their quality won’t be too high either. The fact that those two civilians managed to escape alive is the best proof of that.”
“If that group of red-tailed beasts is very large and of high quality, those two commoners have absolutely no chance of returning to our Silla City alive.”
Ye Feng's words made a lot of sense, and Luo Qing was immediately convinced.
"I understand, Ancestor," Luo Qing nodded.
Everything that needed to be explained has been explained; now all that's left is to wait.
In the middle of the night, Chen He returned to Silla City, covered in sweat, and went to Ye Feng's tent.
The tent was brightly lit in the night breeze, but he did not rest and was waiting for Chen He to send back intelligence.
"How's the investigation going?" Ye Feng asked, waving his hand.
Luo Xiaotong, who had been waiting nearby for a long time, immediately ran over with a large teapot and poured Chen He a full cup of tea.
Chen He took the tea from Luo Xiaotong and gulped it down in one go. Then he said, "Ancestor, your estimate is pretty accurate. Those Crimson-Tailed Beasts, in terms of both number and quality, are far inferior to the Crimson-Tailed Beasts that attacked our Luo Yun City."
"After a quick observation, I found that there were about 800 Red-tailed Beasts in the group, and the vast majority of them were below the fifth rank. There were very few Red-tailed Beasts above the fifth rank, only 20 or 30, and only one Red-tailed Beast reached the seventh rank."
The fifth rank corresponds to the Qi Movement Realm, the sixth rank corresponds to the Separation and Union Realm, and only the seventh rank corresponds to the True Essence Realm.
Therefore, the grade of this group of red-tailed beasts is really not high.
Ye Feng smiled with satisfaction and said, "Only so few Crimson-tailed Beasts? In that case, we don't even need to send out the army. I can take a few of you and wipe them all out."
"Should we act alone or lead the legion?" Chen He asked.
After pondering for a moment, Ye Feng finally said, "Let the legion take action. This is a rare opportunity for combat, and it should be used to increase their combat experience. Moreover, the security of a territory cannot depend solely on high-level martial artists; this contradicts my philosophy of forming a new type of legion."
Chen He could certainly understand the meaning behind Ye Feng's words.
If the safety of a territory depends on a high-level martial artist, what should be done if that high-level martial artist dies or is unable to act for other reasons?
The Luo family is the best example!
With Luo Tong, the patriarch of the Luo family, around, the Luo family's glory was truly dazzling. Even the royal family of the Hongtian Empire had to avoid their sharp edge, and the other three major families could not compare with the Luo family.
However, ever since Luo Tong went into seclusion seven hundred years ago, the Luo family's status has been precarious.
More than a hundred years ago, the Hongtian Empire was in turmoil, and the Luo family fell into complete decline, even struggling to survive.
This is the balance between maintaining the safety of a general's territory and the downsides of a high-level martial artist.
The idea of having an ancestor overseeing things sounds impressive, but in reality, it's very risky. It means that as long as the so-called ancestor is dealt with, the entire system can be easily defeated.
But a new type of legion is different.
Although the individual combat strength of the new-style legion is not very strong and cannot be compared with that of high-level martial artists, once the new-style legion reaches a certain scale, its power will force even high-level martial artists to back down!
That's exactly what Night Wind is planning now.
Designing new weapons and forming new legions, they gradually replace warriors, thus significantly increasing the proportion of wars fought by ordinary people.
In this way, the importance of ordinary people will continue to rise, and the lives of commoners and serfs will get better and better!
Of course, Ye Feng did not intend to explain these advanced ideas and concepts to Chen He and Luo Lin.
After all, this was far too advanced for its time.
Daylight broke.
The infantry corps has completed its preparations and is ready to go.
Chen He, Jiang Wei, Luo Lin, Zijing, Xu Pingan... they are all here.
The air suddenly twisted and rippled, and the next moment, the night wind stepped out from within.
“Ancestor, we are ready,” Rowling said as she stepped forward.
“Well, then we’ll… wait a bit, bring those two civilians over, and gather all the important civilians here as well,” Ye Feng suddenly said.
Rowling asked, completely bewildered, "Ancestor, why is that?"
Night Wind said very seriously, "Because war is not just a matter for soldiers; war is related to everyone. So we must make everyone living in this territory understand why our soldiers and our legions are fighting against the Crimson Tail Beast!"
Rowling still couldn't quite understand, but she didn't ask any more questions and immediately did as Nightwind instructed.
The two civilians were immediately brought here, but the important civilians that Ye Feng mentioned have not yet arrived.
After all, it takes time to gather them here.
So Ye Feng took this opportunity to say to the two civilians, "You two will lead the way later."
The two civilians were so frightened that their faces changed drastically, and they knelt down with a thud, kowtowing repeatedly to Ye Feng.
"Lord of the City, please spare us!"
"Yes, Lord City Lord, we'll be eaten alive by those monsters!"
"I don't want to die! I still have a wife and children to support!"
"I also have a sixty-year-old mother..."
