Starting My Cultivation With Time Management-Chapter 716 - 50 Guerrilla Warfare

Chapter 716: Chapter 50 Guerrilla Warfare

“I was about to go tell the Great Elder.”

The subtext was, “If you keep messing around like this, I will tell the Great Elder.”

As for whom the Great Elder would favor after being informed, it goes without saying. Qin Ye was of pure Azure Dragon Clan blood, while Long Hu was only a mixed-blood Demon Race.

The little fox showed a panicked expression, while Long Long gave a slight smile and said,

“Qin Ye, I believe you wouldn’t do that.”

“Why wouldn’t I?” Qin Ye struggled to lift her chin, putting on an arrogant demeanor.

...

“Because the Qin Ye I know is not someone who would betray his friends to the clan elders,” Long Long said, still smiling.

Upon hearing this, Qin Ye stood frozen, her mind suddenly a mess.

The Qin Ye he knows wasn’t like that?

Then what am I like in his heart… Wait, doesn’t that mean he has me in his heart?

At this thought, Qin Ye’s face grew hot, and she could no longer sit still. She jumped up as if on fire, stammering,

“I, I need to go…”

Reaching the entrance of the tent, Qin Ye suddenly remembered something, turned back, and cautioned,

“Before you marry, you can’t do anything inappropriate!”

Having said that, she hurriedly took her leave.

Long Long and Long Hu exchanged looks for a moment before they simultaneously let out sighs of relief.

What inappropriate things? Long Long couldn’t help but silently laugh at the thought. Do I look like that kind of person?

I’m Human Race, not Demon Race! Since it’s destined that we can’t be together forever, why bring a child into this world to burden the fox with secret sorrow later on?

“Tsk, tsk, tsk.” The Kunlun Mirror couldn’t stand it and scoffed coldly, “No child, no responsibility, is that it? And what about deceiving feelings? Isn’t that also part of your responsibility?”

“Where is there any deception of feelings?” Long Long asked in surprise, “We are simply in a normal relationship. Then one day in the future, due to life’s choices, we must part from each other.”

“I see,” the Kunlun Mirror replied coldly.

This futile person is deluding himself again.

When the time truly comes, it won’t just be solved with an “I’m sorry, I’m Human Race.”

The Kunlun Mirror knew Long Hu well enough that her profoundly emotional nature wouldn’t care about race. Even if you fled to the ends of the earth, she would chase after you relentlessly!

But why this futile person was planning to run away was crystal clear to Ah Jing.

If he stayed, what would happen to Junior Sister Xu, Senior Sister An, the Liuli Lady, and Jiang the Witch?

Run, just try to run! If you can actually escape, I, Ah Jing, will take your name!

Unaware of Long Long’s thoughts, Long Hu just said shyly,

“Then I’ll be going, okay? Otherwise, the Great Elder might actually come.”

She hugged Long Long again and kissed him on the lips before swiftly turning and flying away.

Long Long touched his mouth as if savoring the sensation, standing in silent and wistful contemplation for a long while before letting out a heavy sigh.

The next morning, the Dragon Clan continued on their journey.

As for the fact that two people were missing from the group, everyone maintained a tacit understanding, with no one asking any questions.

Upon entering the Two Rivers Plain, the group quickly chose a river and deployed the Water Escape Technique.

As they moved beneath the river’s surface, the Great Elder Qin Chaocang also imparted various Magical Competition experiences to the young dragons.

“Excuse me, Elder,” a young dragon asked curiously, “Can’t we soar on clouds and ride the fog? Why travel underwater? Wouldn’t our view be wider if we flew in the sky?”

“Correct, but don’t forget,” Qin Chaocang replied, “When you fly in the sky, you can see distant enemies, but the enemy can also spot you from afar.”

“The Horned Clan excels in swift movement, capable of using techniques allowing them to cover great distances in a short time, traveling a thousand miles in a day is nothing to them.”

“If you encounter a Horned Clan troop in the open and cannot quickly decide the battle, you will soon be surrounded by continuously arriving reinforcements and ultimately trapped and killed on the spot.”

“Considering that the Feathered Clan is adept at flying, the Horned Clan must have anti-air measures. Therefore, taking water routes to conceal your tracks is a better choice.”

“I see,” Long Long pondered, “What if it’s the other way around?”

“If our Dragon Clan were to pursue the Horned Clan, how should they hide?”

Qin Chaocang was very pleased with his ability to think ahead and thus enlightened him:

“The Dragon Clan excels at soaring through the clouds and mist, flying, and the Water Escape Technique are all our specialties.”

“In other words, neither the waterways nor the ground is suitable for them, so there is only one method left: Earth Escape.”

Earth Escape?

That is, traveling underground?

Long Long and Long Hu silently took note of this and then heard Qin Chaocang continue:

“Our cultivators’ warfare is completely different from that of demonic beasts.”

“Wars among demonic beasts are, frankly, just a matter of outnumbering the opponent. But cultivators are not limited by logistics, and their forms of warfare are often much more severe.”

“Take Wu River City’s vicinity, for example: The Feathered Clan, being on the defensive, gather their army inside Wu River City, where they can leverage the city’s formations, restrictions, and many other methods to cause huge casualties to the attacking side.”

“For the Horned Clan, who are the attackers, a direct assault on Wu River City is the worst strategy. Therefore, they disperse their troops into small groups to infiltrate and wreak havoc on Two Rivers Plain, forcing the Feathered Clan’s main forces to leave the city.”

“Do you understand what I’m saying?”

As Qin Chaocang spoke in this way, seeing the little dragons all thoughtfully pondering, he turned his gaze to Long Long.

Long Long did not disappoint, calmly explaining:

“Whether on the offensive or defensive, it’s just about utilizing one’s own advantages.”

“The advantage of the attacker lies in mobility, while the defender’s advantage is in the terrain. Whoever can force the opponent out of their advantageous zone will gain the ultimate victory.”

With that, the dragons all suddenly understood, and Qin Chaocang praised them:

“That’s right. The art of warfare is about using your strengths against the enemy’s weaknesses, and warfare among cultivators is just a more complex version of this, but it doesn’t stray from the essence of war itself.”

“As long as the Horned Clan chooses to disperse their forces, the Feathered Clan cannot possibly stay holed up in Wu River City, or else the entire Two Rivers Plain would be devastated.”

“The Feathered Clan would also have to send out small troops to kill these infiltrating Horned Clan members, but as I just mentioned, the Horned Clan has their swift movement techniques, and if a close combat encounter does not lead to a quick victory, a large number of reinforcements will arrive to outnumber us.”

“That is also why they are requesting our Dragon Clan’s support. Next, all of our operations should primarily involve surprise attacks using the Water Escape Technique.”

“Each battle should be finished within ten breaths, and certainly not more than twenty breaths.”

“Once it reaches twenty breaths, immediately flee along the river, do not continue to linger. Do you all understand?”

“Understood!” the little dragons energetically responded in unison.

Everyone was full of confidence, only Long Long felt a hint of unease.

This simple principle, once the Great Elder explained it, everyone understood it; wouldn’t the Horned Clan think of it too?

If they had already prepared countermeasures for a Water Escape surprise attack, then what specifically would their countermeasures be?

With this thought, Long Long looked again at Long Hu.

The Great Elder said not to exceed twenty breaths; that was overly optimistic.

If they really encountered a fight that couldn’t be quickly decided, they might need to rely on the fox’s Illusion Technique and make a run for it even before ten breaths were up.
