Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 3117: Chapter 101: The Best Tactic Is a Straight Push (Part 4)

Moreover, once the troops are isolated, it’s hard to say what Ji Taichang would do.

Most importantly, the Night Devil Lord is under the command of Great Commander Dread. If something happens to him and you, Great Commander Dread, won’t even send reinforcements, why should they?

As expected, the final result was exactly as they had anticipated beforehand.

After dealing with the Polar Night Demon Master Department, both the Seventh Army and Ninth Army of the Dongxia Army were not idle. Instead, as planned, they stationed themselves near the [Red Moon Hub], neither attacking it nor retreating, simply quietly guarding the [Poison Sting Devil Lord].

This made the Poison Sting Devil Lord terrified and exceptionally compliant.

In recent years, the Dongxia Army has been mostly in a passive state, everyone was tense and exhausted, and even their tempers were more irritable than usual. Such an exhilarating partial victory was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for everyone, invigorating their spirits.

Reports of this victory were immediately sent to the Dongxia Divine Dynasty.

Meanwhile, Ji Taichang personally hosted a banquet for Wang Fugui in his tent. It was both a victory celebration and a farewell feast.

”Rich, are you really going to meet Great Commander Dread in person?” Ji Taichang, rarely drinking sacred wine, looked at Wang Fugui with admiration and reluctance, ”Dread just suffered a defeat and lost an arm. You’re going now, aren’t you afraid he’ll kill the envoy out of anger? The Demonic Clan doesn’t adhere to the rule of ’not killing envoys during warfare’.”

”Master Rich, this is too dangerous.” The strategist and some trusted aide commanders also advised Wang Fugui against taking the risk.

After this battle, they not only had no complaints against Wang Fugui but also treated him with great respect.

”Thank you, esteemed seniors, for your concern, but Rich has compelling reasons to go.”

With a humble attitude, Wang Fugui reciprocated the salute, showing sophistication and grace, embodying the demeanor of a Prominent Family heir, as if the audacious young man who once embarrassed Ji Taichang was someone else entirely.

”No flimsy reason is more important than your life.” Ji Taichang did not accept this reason and bluntly poached, ”Just stay and be my chief strategist. If that doesn’t satisfy you, I’ll give you the title of deputy Marshal. Moreover, you’re just a deputy envoy now, so let [King Heng Qi], the chief envoy, go instead, wouldn’t that make more sense? Anyway, he’s old, and the Sacred Image has been passed to Prince Hao Zhe. Even if he dies, it wouldn’t be a great loss.”

King Heng Qi, the ”chief envoy” who silently drank without expressing opinions, almost popped his eyes out upon hearing this.

Marshal Ji, what are you talking about? What have I ever done to provoke you?

From start to finish, it’s been Wang Fugui slapping you in the face, and yet you appreciate and favor him while directly confronting me, the old good-for-nothing?

If he, King Heng Qi, weren’t no match for Tranquil Sky Divine King, he would definitely go up and punch someone.

”Sigh~”

Wang Fugui sighed, showing no joy of victory on his face, but rather a serious expression: ”After this, the opponent will surely be vigilant, making it exceedingly difficult to repeat the same tricks. As long as they are cautious, they can slowly push us back. A single local victory can only delay the demise of East Xia.”

”All sorts of clever schemes and strategies are merely helpless reaction measures by the weak when they lack sufficient resources. My Old Ancestor grandfather used to say, the best tactic is to press forward brainlessly!”

”To press forward brainlessly, you must develop and strengthen yourself. When your strength is ten, a hundred times that of your enemy! You won’t even need to push; the enemy will voluntarily fall at your feet, begging for mercy.”

”Thus, self-improvement is the hard truth~”

”Pfft!”

Ji Taichang spurted out a mouthful of sacred wine, staring wide-eyed at Wang Fugui: ”Your Old Ancestor grandfather is truly a talent...”
