Returning to the tribe, Xiao He briefly introduced his recent encounters to the tribe leader. The most important thing was that Xiao He frankly confessed to the tribe leader that he wanted to proactively find the Wuyang City garrison and launch a war. With this thought, Xiao He knew that there would be a battle between the tribe and Wuyang City since the day Rongze escaped with his arm broken.
At the moment when the tribe is strong and strong, it is better to take the initiative to fight instead of being found a place to live by Wuyang City.
After the clan leader talked with Xiao He, he thought about it for a long time. After all, it had never happened before to take the initiative to start a war with people in the God's Domain. All this time, maybe I have been on the sidelines for too long and have no fighting spirit. But when Xiao He mentioned the desert border town that was destroyed by Tiancun City, the clan leader was still very shocked. If he had been seeking stability, it was hard to say that the tribe would not end up with such a tragic end.
The most important thing is that the situation of strong troops and strong horses was created by Xiao He. He should have the power to decide the fate of this force.
With the approval of the clan leader, Xiao He felt much more at ease. Before Sang Yan and Dong Ge returned, he had to meet one more person, and this person was Dong Ge's father.
When Xiao He walked into Mr. Dong's room, Mr. Dong had already seen the result of Xiao He's trip from Xiao He's calm expression. Needless to say, Mr. Dong once again took out the yellowed structural diagram of the alchemy furnace. His eyes shone brightly and his expression was extremely happy, just like a father preparing to welcome a new life.
"You seem to already know the outcome of my trip." Xiao He said calmly.
Mr. Dong laughed happily and said to Xiao He: "When you opened the door of the old man's room, I knew that you must have returned home with a full load. This is really like a dream. I never thought that I would have the opportunity to put together the materials in the picture. together!"
Xiao He smiled and said: "Dragon Heart Fire is extremely difficult to control. It burns everything. The old gentleman has a way."
Lao Cao smiled and replied: "Preparations were made in Lao Cao's father's generation. Now we have built a console specifically for controlling Dragon Heart Fire. It is specially forged with cold iron. I believe it is enough to control all the fires in Tongtian Fortress today."
Xiao He nodded with satisfaction, lit the Dragon Heart Fire on the operating platform made by Han Tie, and poured the Tears of Heaven into the stone canal. He turned to Mr. Dong and said, "You will have to work hard next. Remember, this is The lifeblood of the tribe’s continuation!”
When Elder Dong heard this, he also said with a serious face: "Please rest assured, I will die for the tribe without mercy!"
Xiao He bowed respectfully to Mr. Dong and exited the room. When he returned to his room, two Qinglong soldiers were standing under the tree, ready to obey orders. Xiao He told them, "When Sang Yan and Dong Ge come back, call me immediately."
The two Qinglong soldiers obeyed the order, and Xiao He returned to his room.
Sitting cross-legged on the couch, Xiao He closed his eyes and eliminated distracting thoughts. He did not enter meditation practice, but carefully thought about the war between the tribe and Wuyang City. He strives to be fully prepared before the war begins, gathering intelligence, offensive plans, logistical supplies, responding to reinforcements, including his own retreat. One thing after another flashed through Xiao He's mind.
Just as he was thinking, news came from the soldiers downstairs: "Sang Yan and Dong Ge have returned to the tribe!"
Xiao He was overjoyed when he heard this and jumped down from the tall tree.
Sang Yan and Dong Ge were also very happy to see Xiao He. First of all, Sang Yan said: "I have followed your instructions to recruit casual cultivators to the tribe. They all have more or less hatred with the people in the main city. "
Xiao He nodded and said: "These people must be trustworthy. The safety of the tribe is the first priority. You choose among them those who have a deeper hatred for Wuyang City to participate in this battle. Tell these immortal cultivators that this can be done. When the ten-year period is up, I will do my best to ensure that they return to the divine domain. I believe that there will not be a second force like us in Tongtian Fortress that dares to declare war on the main city."
Sang Yan knew that what Xiao He said was of great importance, so he looked serious and said very pertinently: "Don't worry, I will personally select everyone."
Xiao He nodded again, turned to Dong Ge, and asked, "How is the situation here?"
Dong Ge also said seriously: "I have started to select soldiers for training according to your instructions. Although the time is still short, these soldiers are naturally not as experienced as me, but their physical skills and lightness are almost as good as mine. I have selected twenty soldiers in total. Follow
Always at your command. "
Xiao He said: "You arrange for ten people to continue to roam in the wild, train as usual, and only collect daily intelligence. Just like your previous work, do not relax. The other ten people return to the tribe. When our army is ready, they will serve as the vanguard. Set off."
Dong Ge also said seriously: "No problem, I have brought ten people back to the tribe this time."
After everything was arranged, Sang Yan asked again: "What other things need to be prepared now?"
Xiao He replied: "I have entrusted Mr. Dong to build an alchemy furnace. Together with Qingtang, I will select the herbs you brought back last time and prepare them for alchemy. Before traveling, everyone must take suitable elixirs for a short period of time. To improve my strength, by the way, I would like to ask Qingtang to help me select ten doctors to form a medical team and set off with the team."
Sang Yan smiled and said, "If this is true, she will definitely ask to go with us."
Xiao He replied: "I hope she can stay in the tribe to accompany the clan leader. This trip is a desperate battle. I am grateful for the clan leader's willingness to support. How dare he take his only daughter to risk?"
"Do you think the indigenous people are so cowardly?"
Xiao He and others all turned around. Qingtang walked up to Xiao He step by step and asked seriously: "As a casual cultivator, you are willing to go through fire and water for us aboriginal people. How can we let you risk it alone? What's more, in the tribe, There is no doctor better than me, I must be your indispensable force in this battle."
Xiao He thought for a moment and seemed to want to persist. At this time, Old Man Tingshan also came.
"Clan leader." Everyone said respectfully.
Old Man Tingshan was still amiable. He walked to Xiao He and said gently: "I am really happy to have a young man like you to lead the tribe out of trouble. Although Qingtang is my only daughter, she is also a member of the tribe. , she has the responsibility to contribute her own strength to the continuous incense of the tribe. This is what I meant when I asked her to learn medical skills. What's more, this time you led the army to fight, so many immortal cultivators and tribal soldiers have gone to the front line. I heard from the old man of the mountain. How can I convince others if my daughter stays by my side? Qingtang must accompany the army to join the war during this trip!"
The old man Tingshan obviously convinced Xiao He. He understood the righteousness so well that Xiao He was very moved. In fact, this was also Xiao He's concern. If the only daughter of the clan leader could go to the front line, the soldiers would be greatly inspired by the general's morale. So, he said: "Since the patriarch said so, I no longer insist on it. Let Qingtang lead a medical team to the front line!"
Old Man Tingshan smiled kindly again, and held Xiao He's hand with his old, vein-covered hands, and said seriously: "Xiao He, as the leader of the clan, I have great plans, and my daughter will go with the army without any hesitation. I don't want to You give her special care, but I still hope you can protect her and not hurt her."
Xiao He nodded in agreement. From the tone of Old Man Tingshan, what he heard was not an order from a clan leader, but more like a father's instructions.
"Thank you! Xiao He, this is our agreement!" The old man held Xiao He's hand for a long time and could not let go.
Xiao He also gently patted the back of Old Man Tingshan's hand. He knew in his heart that this agreement was very important!
Everyone went to prepare individually, while Xiao He started to prepare a list of alchemy based on the characteristics of different military units and different casual cultivators handed over by Sang Yan. Qingtang has been assisting Xiao He in selecting herbs, and the two of them have been busy until late at night...
As the moon rises above the willow trees, Qingtang has the first chance to talk to Xiao He about things other than the tribe...
"Xiao He, how confident are you about this war?" Qingtang asked Xiao He softly.
The two of them were sitting side by side on a very thick tree trunk, and Xiao He was also rarely relaxed and comfortable. The moonlight poured down, making Qingtang look even more fairy-like and charming. Looking at Qingtang's appearance, Xiao He couldn't help but whisper softly.
"I am 70% to 80% sure about this war. Although the exact information has not yet been obtained, I believe that Wuyang City's garrison in Tongtian Fortress will not be too many. The casual cultivators plus the Qinglong Army should be enough. "
"Before you appeared, the tribe had always stayed here. The threat from the seven major cities was like a knife hanging over everyone's head." Qingtang lowered his head as he spoke, sometimes looking at the distance and sometimes at the moon. At once
I was embarrassed to look directly at Xiao He.
Xiao He replied: "Fortunately, the tribe has worked hard for many years and has become a powerful force. If it were not for the limitations of innate conditions and the ability of individual soldiers to be much weaker than those of immortal cultivators, the tribe would have long been the largest force in the fortress. Now there are so many casual cultivators joining , the era of unlimited invasion by the seven major cities will no longer exist.”
"You have a very high prestige in the hearts of the tribe. Have you ever thought about staying in the tribe from now on?" Qingtang asked tentatively.
Xiao He remained silent. She didn't know how to reply to Qingtang. Qingtang is introverted and not good at expressing, but Xiao He is a sweet-tempered person. How could he not feel Qingtang's friendship? But he can't stay. Even though the tribe is peaceful and happy, he can't stay. Nothing happens. Can block his progress.
After a long while, Xiao He finally spoke: "I am a wandering individual, and I am destined to drift with the wind."
This time, Qingtang stopped talking, with a sad look in his eyes.
"Actually, I've always known that the world of the fortress is too small, and I definitely can't keep you here. You have a broader world to explore..."
Listening to Qingtang's words, Xiao He still didn't know how to speak. He was just afraid that if he spoke, he would hurt someone. He would rather say nothing and not give anyone hope, so that no woman would die because of him. There will be no more debt in my heart.
Seeing that Xiao He didn't speak, Qingtang, who had always been reserved, felt even more sad. She stopped talking, jumped down from the tree, walked a few steps forward, then turned back and said, "You promised father that you wouldn't let me get hurt. You will Can you do it?"
Xiao He looked at Qingtang and forced out a smile as a response.
Qingtang left, leaving only Xiao He, a man without a hometown, leaning against a big tree and watching the moon all night...
