As the children safely embarked on their journey home, Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze felt a pang of reluctance, but this feeling, like iron forged in a raging fire, strengthened their resolve to move forward.
They knew that in this chaotic world of constant warfare, only by constantly honing themselves and using unparalleled strength and wisdom could they protect the peaceful sky behind them from being disturbed.
One day, the secret guard Shadow arrived in a hurry, his expression solemn but unable to hide his barely suppressed excitement: "Master, during my in-depth investigation, I unexpectedly discovered a hidden blue rose stone mine, the scale of which is unprecedented."
Blue Rose, this legendary treasure, is not only extremely rare, but also an indispensable key material for refining elixirs that can enhance cultivation.
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehuai's eyes lit up, as if she had thought of something.
"Set off immediately, and keep everything confidential." Xu Yuehuai decisively issued the order, already secretly planning how to use this batch of blue rose stones to add more weight to the upcoming battle.
The group quietly embarked on a secret journey to the mine. The mountain path was winding and the forest lush and green. If not for the precise guidance of the shadows, it would be impossible for outsiders to spot this hidden place. As they ventured deeper, a faint spiritual energy slowly seeped from the ground, indicating that they were about to arrive at the mysterious mineral vein.
However, when Xu Yuehuai and his group finally stood in front of the mine entrance, the scene before them shocked them greatly—several men in black were busily mining blue roses. Their movements were skilled and swift, clearly not the work of ordinary mine poachers.
"Who dares to be so audacious as to illegally exploit national resources!" Qi Guze roared, his figure flashing out like lightning, instantly closing in on the group of men in black.
Seeing this, the men in black were not to be outdone and drew their weapons, thus beginning a sudden and fierce battle.
Xu Yuehua calmly observed the battle. She noticed that although these men in black were highly skilled, they did not seem to be aiming to kill, but rather were carrying out some kind of secret mission.
She remained secretly vigilant, but outwardly remained calm, directing her guards to attack the enemy while searching for a solution.
With their extraordinary martial arts skills and tacit cooperation, Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze finally subdued the men in black one by one.
Faced with defeat, the leader of the men in black struggled to raise his head, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes: "We were about to succeed..."
Xu Yuehuai did not immediately ask any further questions, but instead ordered his men to seal off the Blue Rose Stone mine to ensure that no one else would disturb it.
Then, she slowly walked up to the man in black, fed him a poison pill, and said, "Speak, who sent you here?"
The man in black was forced to speak: "He is a mysterious figure who has offered an extremely high price for us to mine blue roses for him."
Unexpectedly, someone has now set their sights on blue gemstones, which makes the Shigoku region even more unstable.
"Hmph, quite ambitious." Qi Guze snorted coldly, his eyes suddenly turning icy.
After pondering for a moment, Xu Yuehuai decided to keep quiet about the matter for the time being to avoid alerting the enemy. She ordered Shadow to leave some of its guards to watch over the mine, while simultaneously organizing a large force to mine the Blue Rose Stone and convert it into pills as quickly as possible to enhance the army's combat effectiveness.
Several days later, all the ore in the Blue Rose Stone mine was mined out.
Xu Yuehuai personally oversaw the alchemy room, throwing pieces of blue rose stone into the furnace fire, using her exquisite alchemy skills to refine batches of incomparably precious pills.
After the pills were refined, Xu Yuehuai did not delay at all and immediately ordered people to send the pills in batches to the border and to the armies of Mingyue Kingdom and Wuling Kingdom.
When the soldiers saw the continuous supply of pills, they were all grateful for Xu Yuehuai's efforts and deeply moved. These pills made them feel the warmth and support from the rear. They knew the preciousness and importance of these pills and understood the responsibility and mission on their shoulders.
In the kingdoms of Mingyue and Wuling, when the generals learned of the pills sent by Xu Yuehuai, they were shocked and deeply moved. They understood the profound meaning and purpose behind Xu Yuehuai's actions, and the armies of both countries expressed their willingness to fight alongside the Great Zhou Kingdom against the foreign enemy.
With the widespread distribution and use of the Blue Rose Stone Elixir, the morale and strength of the armies of the Great Zhou Kingdom, the Dark Moon Kingdom, and the Wuling Kingdom soared. The allied forces of the three kingdoms quickly assembled in the border region, forming an impregnable defensive line that struck fear into the hearts of their enemies.
Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze personally inspected the allied forces' camp and saw that the soldiers were full of energy, high morale, and unwavering in their fighting spirit. They knew that all of this was the result of everyone's joint efforts and struggle, and also an important cornerstone and guarantee for their impending victory.
"It seems our plan is already showing initial results, Yue." Qi Guze looked at the high-spirited army before him, his eyes gleaming with confidence and pride.
Xu Yuehua nodded and smiled, "Yes, but that's far from enough. We must continue to strengthen training to improve the soldiers' combat effectiveness and capabilities; at the same time, we must formulate more comprehensive and complete strategic plans to ensure that we can take the initiative and gain an advantageous position in battle."
In the days that followed, Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the training and preparation of the allied forces. They not only personally instructed the soldiers in martial arts and formations, but also invited several experienced generals to give lectures on tactics and strategy, as well as methods and techniques for dealing with various complex situations and emergencies.
Under the meticulous guidance and rigorous training of Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze, the soldiers' martial arts skills and tactical proficiency improved significantly. They began to understand how to coordinate operations, how to utilize terrain advantages, and how to deal with various enemy offensives and provocations. This accumulation of knowledge and skills led to a qualitative leap and enhancement in their combat effectiveness.
At the same time, Xu Yuehuai also made full use of his wisdom and resources to create a batch of advanced weapons and equipment for the Allied forces. These weapons were not only extremely sharp and powerful, but also equipped with various ingenious mechanisms and hidden weapons, making them impossible for the enemy to defend against in battle and forcing them to surrender.
When the coalition soldiers were equipped with these advanced weapons, they were all very excited. They knew that these weapons would become their most powerful assistants and partners on the battlefield, helping them to defeat all enemies.
Xu Yuehuai did not become complacent despite her initial success. She knew that the battlefield was ever-changing, and the real contest had only just begun. A burning desire for victory fueled her inner fire, and she constantly devised new strategies to enhance the allied forces' combat effectiveness.
The moon hung high in the sky, its silvery light bathing the tent. Xu Yuehuai sat alone, clutching a yellowed ancient book in her hand. It was a treasure she had carefully selected from the ancient book library, containing the wisdom of ancient sages and the secrets of mechanical arts.
