Starting My Cultivation With Time Management-Chapter 800 - 37 Princess Feng Yan Has Already Made Her Decree

Chapter 800 -37 Princess Feng Yan Has Already Made Her Decree

However, Luo Yan sorted through his various gains and found that most of them were not suitable for his own use, so he could only toss them to Liuli for her amusement.

On second thought, it was expected: items that could now catch his eye must be of the same caliber as the Innate Five Elements Divine Light, being either peerless Secret Techniques or Magical Treasures.

For instance, the Chaos Red Luopan, the Morning Jade Thunder, the Shennong Cauldron, and the like… How could such treasures possibly be just stumbled upon casually?

Let’s not worry about those for now, and just reload the save and go to the Eastern Emperor Realm.

————————

In the Eastern Emperor Realm, the war was raging.

Although it was the Horned Clan of West State and the Kun Race of North State that initiated the war, what no one expected was that the fiercest battles would actually take place in South State.

The White Tiger army of West State took a detour through the imperial capital and joined up with the Qilin of Central State, then headed southward to the Two Rivers Plain.

Within a few days, two-thirds of the territory had fallen, so that the entire Feathered Clan had already begun a nationwide mobilization, determined to fight to the death with the allied forces.

In Eastern State, the Dragon Clan finally could no longer sit idly by.

Not to mention the secret offensive and defensive alliance signed between the two clans, the primary concern was that the military strength of the Central State and West State allied forces far exceeded the strategic predictions of the Dragon Clan in the past.

To watch the Feathered Clan perish would be tantamount to seeking their own doom, hence rescue was imperative.

Thus, thousands of Dragon Clan cultivators crossed the Three-legged Mountain Range, led by the Great Elder Qin Chaocang commanding the forces, preparing to enter the battlefield from the east side of the Two Rivers Plain.

The old friends who had become separated in the Two Rivers Plain in the past were now reunited, yet this time there was no so-called Crown Prince’s gilt-edged group… Faced with the current crisis concerning the life and death of both clans, every bit of available strength would be undoubtedly thrown into the fray by the Great Elder without hesitation.

At the campsite, Long Long encountered an old acquaintance, Feng Yan.

The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.

This Prince of the Vermilion Bird was now the supreme commander of the Feathered Clan, on equal footing with the Great Elder Qin Chaocang, whose daily routine included calling the returning Feathered Clan generals from the front lines for a severe rebuke, loud enough for the whole camp to hear.

It’s only fitting for the Feathered Clan, even their scolding is fierce.

Long Long was roaming about the camp when he happened to run into Feng Yan stepping out of the tent, who frowned and asked:

“What are you doing here?”

“Your Highness, I am one of the cultivators who came to support from the Dragon Clan.” Long Long responded.

“Nonsense.” Feng Yan replied, “I’m asking why you aren’t on the battlefield.”

“I’m waiting for orders.” said Long Long.

“Then I order you, go immediately to Yuanjiang City and lead the remaining troops to retreat from the encirclement.” Feng Yan said bluntly.

“Sorry, Your Highness.” Long Long spoke with some exasperation, “We only take orders from the Great Elder; you are overstepping your command.”

“Fine, I will go and find your Great Elder.” Feng Yan immediately walked away without looking back.

Long Long: ………

Feng Yan stepped into the command center, found Qin Chaocang, and said concisely:

“If the troops in Yuanjiang City don’t retreat now, once they’re devoured by the allied forces, we’ll have no chance of turning the tables on Two Rivers Plain.”

“The problem is, Lv Yan knows this too.” Qin Chaocang handed her the battle map, “See? The few possible breakout directions are just traps he purposely left for us. The more we enter, the more we die; there’s no chance.”

“I don’t care about that.” Feng Yan said firmly without looking at the battle map, “The Feathered Clan troops in Yuanjiang City must be saved; their isolated force won’t hold out for long.”

“I’ve said it before, the key question is how to save them?” Qin Chaocang skillfully tossed the question back.

“Send Long Long to the rescue,” Feng Yan said. “Didn’t he manage to escape from the ambush set by the Horned Clan on the Two Rivers Plain? I think he has a real talent for infiltration and escape.”

Qin Chaocang felt somewhat helpless. As much as he didn’t want to deny Long Long’s talent, was it not too arbitrary to make such a judgment based on one successful escape?

“Elder Qin,” Feng Yan said gravely, “if our Feathered Clan falls, your Dragon Clan won’t fare any better.”

“Your Highness, there’s no need to remind me of that,” Qin Chaocang said calmly. “I’m just wondering whether he actually has the capability.”

“He must have it,” Feng Yan asserted. “Back on Divine Dragon Island, when we explored the ruins, he was the one who reaped the biggest reward, right?”

Qin Chaocang’s eyebrows twitched. The outcome of the expedition to Divine Dragon Island was a secret within the Dragon Clan. How could the Feathered Clan know about it?

Though puzzled, he didn’t acknowledge it and instead asked:

“Why would you say that, Your Highness?”

“Why play dumb, Elder?” Feng Yan countered. “I refuse to believe that your Dragon Clan hasn’t planted spies within our Feathered Clan.”

“Hahaha, that we really haven’t done,” Qin Chaocang laughed offhandedly. “It’s not in the Dragon Clan’s nature to spy on allies.”

“Hehe,” Feng Yan laughed derisively at the obvious lie, then continued, “From what I see, Long Long is an excellent choice in terms of intelligence, strategy, and courage. If you only value his lineage, you would be underutilizing a great talent.”

“The clan hasn’t planned any marriage arrangements for him yet,” Qin Chaocang said casually. “But Your Highness seems to have too much confidence in him. Could it be that you don’t feel a loss when a genial seed from another clan dies in battle?”

“What good are geniuses who don’t go to battle? That’s just a breeding stallion!” Feng Yan said dismissively. “True geniuses are always forged on the battlefield. Just look at the White Tiger Divine General, Lv Yan.”

Qin Chaocang fell silent.

Indeed, if Long Long didn’t go to battle, he would just stay within the clan focusing on procreation; although calling it “breeding stallion” was rather crude, there really wasn’t much difference.

A true genius needs to absorb the experiences of blood and fire on the battlefield to shine brightly.

As for whether a genius or a breeding stallion was more beneficial to the Azure Dragon Clan, the answer was self-evident.

“I need to think it over,” Qin Chaocang finally conceded.

“Don’t make me wait too long,” Feng Yan narrowed his long phoenix eyes. “I’m very impatient.”

No sooner had Feng Yan departed in haste than Qin Chaocang, after much contemplation, summoned Long Long and Long Hu.

As soon as Long Long heard the Great Elder’s summons, he had a bad feeling, yet he could only bring Long Hu with him.

Upon entering the command tent, they saw Qin Chaocang pacing around. In the center of the room was a large sand table Magical Treasure, with countless clay soldiers engaged in combat upon it, the scene meticulously crafted.

“The red ones inside the city are the remaining Feathered Clan troops,” Qin Chaocang began. “The white ones on the outside are the allied forces of the Horned Clan and the Mao Clan.”

“The blue ones at the outermost are our Azure Dragon support troops alongside theirs from the Vermilion Bird.”

“The current situation is this: if we don’t rescue them, the inside Defensive Array will eventually run out of resources, and the Feathered Clan’s remaining forces will be devoured.”

“If we go for the rescue, the allied forces may very well turn around and devour the troops we send.”

“If you were the supreme commander, what would you do?”

Long Hu stared at the sand table with a pensive look, while Long Long hurriedly responded with humility:

“Back to the Elder, I am naive and dare not recklessly spout nonsense.”

“Just say it!” Qin Chaocang waved his hand, thinking to himself that Feng Yan might have had a point.

So young, Long Long already knew to hide his talents, and it was time to push him a bit.
