Chapter 595: Chapter 591: I will Be the Eye

The advantage of numbers was undisputed at this moment, even though Tang Zhi had thoroughly understood the tactics of the Mi Clan’s allied forces, there was nothing he could do against this alliance army.

The numerous proud peaks of North Mountain, which were long and broad, became the biggest disadvantage at this moment.

“Esteemed Chief, what if we gather our clan’s people in the inner part of the main peak and tighten our defensive formation so that our Martial Ancestor focuses his defense, do you think it is a feasible idea?” Inquired Tang Ming, standing by the sand table, pointing at the center of the North Mountain.

In military strategy, tightening the defensive formation to reduce the defense range is a common tactic. Tang Ming felt that given the shortage of soldiers, minimizing the defense was the most rational choice.

“I’m afraid that this is exactly what Mi Tiger is waiting for us to do.” Tang Zhi, after listening to Tang Ming’s words, pointed at the model of North Mountain on the sand table and explained, “Gathering our people in the inner areas of North Mountain can alleviate our defensive pressure. But if we do so, the freedom of movement of this minor alliance will greatly increase. If the alliance divides into six teams, each led by a top Martial Ancestor, the slightest lapse in our defense could lead to the death of thousands of our clan members.”

Knowing well the predatory nature of the two clans, Tang Zhi did not doubt the capabilities of the top Martial Ancestors from both sides in seizing an opportunity. As long as one Blue Lotus of the Mi Clan falls within the North Mountain, it would initiate a storm of death.

“I now hope that this alliance army’s target is actually the Great Elder and the stationed Martial Ancestors.” Tang Zhi revealed a wry smile on his face. Just a moment ago he was considering how to conduct the rescue, now he just hoped the targets of the alliance’s attack were indeed those he was planning to rescue. Situations in the battlefield indeed change unexpectedly quick.

After the explanation by the Chief, Tang Ming finally understood how lethal this alliance could be.

The thief doesn’t have to worry about being a thief every day, but the victim must always worry about thieves. This alliance army, that comes and goes without a trace, is like a thief.

“We will have to rely on the response from the head councilor.” Tang Zhi said in a solemn tone, “If the alliance army is drawing the Great Elder out to set an ambush, then we still have the chance to readjust. But if their motive is simply to draw the tiger away from the mountain…”

Upon hearing this, Tang Luo finally understood. This alliance army poses such a significant threat to the Tang Clan, mainly because of the mobility of the Luan Bird. The ability to come and go like the wind doesn’t actually matter if they’re seen.

“If there were several teams of Martial Ancestors ready on alert, they could actually withstand them, right? After all, they must protect the Luan bird so they wouldn’t dare to infiltrate deeply.” Tang Luo slightly voiced his thought while standing near the sand table.

The Luan Bird, although sounds awe-inspiring, is merely a beast stimulated by spiritual power. It is of course, unstoppable for ordinary humans, but to the strong Martial Ancestors, it’s just like a finger sweep.

It could be said that the reason the extreme finger force is included in the two leading techniques of the Tang Clan’s Fierce Realm, is to deal with the celestial bird feather guards from the Mi Clan.

The top Martial Ancestors in the alliance army coming from behind are indeed ferocious, but the Blue Luan, that allows them such mobility, is not so threatening. And once they lose the Blue Luan as their mount, the speed of these top Martial Ancestors would not be as frightening.

“Minister Luo doesn’t know.” Tang Ming gave a wry smile, “Ordinary avian creatures fly below the clouds, whereas the Mi Clan’s Luan bird, due to being enhanced by special arts, can soar above the clouds. If they fly in a flock, it’s possible to determine their origin from their bird calls. But now there are only eighteen riders. If they disperse, finding them would not be easy.”

Tang Ming patiently explained to Tang Luo, meanwhile, Tang Zhi’s eyes sparkled. He recalled when Cai Bu Chu came to report earlier, saying that Tang Luo was the first to sound the alarm. But as he knew, the Marshal Star Pavilion’s station was in the middle of North Mountain, which is nearly ten miles from the place of the ambush. Could it be that when those eighteen riders broke through the clouds, Tang Luo was looking into the distant sky?

Tang Zhi didn’t believe that it could just be a coincidence, so his gaze filled with hope, wanting Tang Luo to surprise him.

After hearing the representative’s explanation, Tang Luo shrugged his shoulders and said, “In fact, as long as someone appears in my sight, I can see the spiritual power above his head, and my sight is… very far.”

“How far?” Tang Ming’s mouth had gone dry. He asked, parched.

“Well… if there are no clouds blocking my view, I can see the beast valley of South Ridge from North Mountain.” Tang Luo confessed shyly, touching his nose.

Actually, he was downplaying his skill a little. If he operated the silver wheel in his eyes to its full capacity, his view could go even further. But that would require a huge consumption of spiritual power, so the sight range he reported was under the normal operation of Undying Battle Body, not his actual maximum range.

“But this should still be more than enough.” Tang Luo speculated secretly. He cleared his throat: “As long as there’s a viewing deck built in the Marshal Star Pavilion and several teams of Martial Ancestors are on standby, no matter from which angle this alliance army tries to sneak attack, I will be able to detect them in advance. As long as we can shoot down the mounts of these people, the threat should be greatly reduced.”

Upon hearing Tang Luo’s idea, Tang Ming was overjoyed, his dark face was flushed with excitement. He strongly agreed, “Exactly, as long as we can see the direction of this alliance’s attack in advance, what is there to fear?”

Chief Tang Zhi also joked with a smile on his face, “Representative Ming, don’t get too excited. Although Minister Luo has the ability to oversee hundreds of miles, we can’t have him operate like a machine day and night.”

“Right, right. I neglected that. But with Minister Luo on the lookout, North Mountain will be worry-free for at least half a day!” Tang Ming said laughing, and although he repeatedly admitted his oversight, his face could hardly conceal his excitement.

“As a matter of fact…” Seeing the two men’s excitement, Tang Luo opened his mouth once again, “It’s okay. I don’t need to sleep, so I can hang out on the viewing deck all day.”

Watching the stunned expressions on Chief Tang Zhi and Representative Tang Ming, Tang Luo added, “I have been replacing sleep with cultivation since over a year ago. In addition, having completed the engraving of the Undying Battle Body’s imprint in the Minor Spiritual Realm, the Innate Qi in my body keeps regenerating. Even if I don’t cultivate now, I can stay awake.”

“Also, whether it’s day or night, clear skies or a cloudy day, none of that hinders my ability to see the spiritual power of a warrior,” Tang Luo continued.

“So…” Tang Luo shrugged, “You just think of me as a machine.”

The worldly Chief and his representative were once again dumbfounded. In all their years, they had never seen an initiator like Tang Luo.

Although it contradicted normal practices, when this person belonged to their own clan, it felt so satisfying!

“Bring someone!” Chief Tang Zhi immediately ordered, “Command the craftsmen to immediately erect a tower at the Marshal Star Pavilion station that is as high as the Yun Peak!”

“In addition, have all five Martial Ancestors who guard the ancestral temples go to the Marshal Star Pavilion on standby! From today onwards, Minister Luo of the Marshal Star Pavilion will also serve as the Security Chief of North Mountain. The original Security Chief, Tang Zhen, will be the Deputy Security Chief, fully cooperating with Chief Tang Luo to complete the defense of North Mountain and maintain order.”
