The Devil Sword Swordsman
Ch. 270 - Strategy of War
The dark floats with the clouds. Faintly heard a distant roar approaching the two, Zhu Yue stopped her horse while looking at the two of them who seemed to be in trouble.
Not so long Ren Yuan stayed away from the two, leaving without saying anything else whereas Xin Fai simply furrowed his brows, stared for a long time and then shook his shoulders. He did not know what he had done wrong until the girl scolded him.
Zhu Yue did not know anything could only guess, she felt these two people were discussing something complicated. Like a big fight against a famous villain maybe. Besides that, he doesn't know anything complicated.
"Chairman Xin, I just received a letter from Senior Yong Tao." He thrust out a tightly rolled piece of paper, giving it to Xin Fai. The young man picked it up while looking at the contents, then furrowed his brows deeply back at Zhu Yue.
"Empire Pillar Inauguration Ceremony?"
***
As the Holy Sword Alliance entered the Renwu City region, the ornaments along the city streets filled the city in excitement. About seven years passed it turned out that the city was progressing rapidly, due to the weakening of the black party and the return of the wealth of the Empire's population, the territory that was once controlled by the enemy was successfully recaptured.
This was all thanks to the achievements of the Sacred Sword Alliance, and with that reputation many white and neutral party forces were putting up a similar fight. They are no longer afraid to fight the enemy even if they have to bet their lives.
The members of the Sacred Sword Alliance who originally numbered 88 people were now only 65 people left, they died in battle respectfully and their names were always remembered by the community. Many people wanted to join them but the policy made by the Alliance leadership did not want to accept new members. Because not everyone has the same determination as them, even some only want to join the ranks if they join them.
Horses filled the streets, accompanied by the smiles of enthusiastic locals who welcomed them. Now that the gates of the White Fog Valley were visible in front of it, Yong Tao, Yang Guifei Xiang Yu, and several other Imperial Pillars welcomed the arrival of the Sacred Sword Alliance as well as the envoys from the East Wind Mountain.
The thunderous gasps made them unable to hear anything clearly even to the point of entering the White Fog Valley sect, not far from the gate saw a man in a very luxurious golden robe standing there.
Lan An blinked her eyes as she looked at the man, she knew exactly who he was
"That's Emperor Qin Minjie, I think you'll soon have to deal with him."
Xin Fai spurred her horse a little sluggishly, turning her head towards Lan An while recalling. Qin Minjie seems to be a serious person, talking to him should also be considered several times.
The group stopped moving as it had arrived before the gate, Yong Tao smiled as he saluted. It seemed that her smile was very bright, the hot weather made her rows of teeth shine even more.
"You've really kept your promise. Though I've been planning on nagging your grave later."
Xin Fai laughed funnyly, not expecting the man to still remember his joke a few years ago. Time went very fast, it did not feel that Yong Tao was getting older now. A deep wrinkle on his face was visible as he spoke.
"A good achievement for the group made directly under our government. I feel very proud, you guys have restored peace slowly, today our Emperor Qin will give a commensurate reward to pay for everything."
This time Yang Guifei spoke, he was also the same as Yong Tao. His face looked relieved when he saw the young man return, because that day when Xin Fai and the Sacred Sword Alliance left directly from the White Fog Valley he was the one who was fully responsible for their departure.
If something happens beyond his control, he will be blamed. The woman shifted her body as Qin Minjie and her bodyguards and servants walked over, she lowered her head with all due respect.
Qin Minjie observed it after goal, not showing the slightest expression of joy. Just flat only.
"Please enter. The food is prepared."
"What do you think?" Lan An whispered a little, almost sounding laughing.
"It's amazing."
"What?"
"Colots, hehehe."
There were two young men laughing silently, so Zhu Yue got off her horse as well and stood in their midst.
"What are you laughing at?"
They became clumsy, pretending to look the other way while continuing their steps. Behind the entourage followed Emperor Qin towards his residence located not far from the White Fog Valley.
Hours had passed since the arrival of the two young men who would later occupy the seats as holders of the title of Imperial Pillar. The low boisterous atmosphere started to become peaceful as the day went on.
Yong Tao said directly that the appointment of the Imperial Pillar will be carried out tomorrow, while they are allowed to rest for a moment to unwind.
Not being able to lie for years in a life or death situation makes the mind and physical burden very heavy. Xin Fai leaned her body long enough while watching the seven mustika in her hands to sleep.
The next night the sound of knocking on the door sounded, Yong Tao was waiting for him at the door saying the meeting was about to begin.
Xin Fai immediately followed Yong Tao's directions without much talking, still with a face full of drowsiness heading towards the vast hall until dozens of pairs of eyes watched from end to end
The important people in the Empire gathered here, as promised they would discuss the great war that would be the future determination of the Empire. The tense faces depicted on their faces, this was not just a matter of life and death. It was much more dangerous than that, then when he saw the expression of the figure who would lead this great war was ordinary, one of the senior elders of White Fog Valley spoke up.
"Just this time I saw a man who was about to descend into the battlefield yawn like no burden. Moreover, you are still quite young, are you underestimating this fight?"
Yong Tao was intending to reprimand Xin Fai, but on the other hand the elder was not supposed to raise his voice until everyone in the room heard.
"I've been through too many battles, I'm tired of being afraid of defeat."
"You–"
"We should discuss the others, this meeting was held to discuss war not for insignificant quarrels."
The elder put on a jutek attitude, still did not accept the answer earlier and threw his face in the other direction. Xin Fai shook her head slightly, the older the human being the more sensitive his feelings were.
Yang Guifei explained all the war strategies as well as the coordination of the places that the soldiers would fill, some of which had the best abilities placed on the front wings. For that he called out to a man who was an accomplished strategist in the world of warfare named Wen Xue.
