After Yang Bo was killed, Qin Tian’s team returned to calm.

The new Centurion was easy to talk to and exceptionally respectful to Qin Tian.

Just as Qin Tian was preparing to fully immerse himself in cultivation, something happened, and it was a big deal!

The East Sea Dragon Clan mobilized to harass the major cities along the eastern coast of the Tianyuan Dynasty!

In an instant, the East State’s situation changed dramatically!

”Gather! Everyone gather!”

Under an order from Liu Weihao, all of Qin Tian’s troops assembled.

Standing on the platform, Liu Weihao gave a speech to everyone, roughly explaining that their troops were being sent to the front lines, under the command of Wu Tao, and were to head to Sea City on the eastern front that very day to participate in the Dragon Clan invasion war with the main forces of the East State.

The situation came very suddenly, and after the meeting, Qin Tian immediately ordered everyone to prepare to depart.

At that time, he wanted to meet Xu Junwei and Leng Yu.

However, no meeting signal was sent from Xu Junwei’s side, indicating there was no new task.

On the contrary, there was no activity at all from Leng Yu’s side.

Nonetheless, when Qin Tian was about to depart East Capital City, Leng Yu showed up.

As an undercover agent for the Dragon Clan, Leng Yu must have tasks during such a crucial time.

”Is there any new task?” Qin Tian asked.

Leng Yu arrived, slightly out of breath, and said, ”No, the only task is for you to take good care of yourself.”

”Huh?”

Qin Tian was taken aback, a bit confused. How could it be that there wasn’t a single movement from the Dragon Clan at such a critical time?

Leng Yu also noticed Qin Tian’s puzzlement and explained, ”Over on the Dragon Clan’s side, that woman has completely taken control. She has rashly decided to attack the East State before the time is ripe. Our superiors couldn’t dissuade her… there’s nothing we can do but wait for news. There are no instructions from the higher-ups.”

This was the best time for gathering information, yet the leader of the Dragon Clan’s undercover agents did nothing?

With a little thought, Qin Tian realized that there must be an internal power struggle within the Dragon Clan. The woman from the Dragon Clan was in opposition to the leader of the undercover group.

”The woman from the Dragon Clan… who is she?” Qin Tian asked curiously.

”Ha, who else could it be but Long Tianwu, touted as the Dragon Clan’s most powerful woman in a century? She is a proud daughter of the Dragon Clan’s imperial family, excelling in cultivation and knowledge beyond her peers since childhood. She led troops at eighteen, and back when the East State Army attacked Panlong Island, if not for Long Tianwu’s major defeat of the East State Navy, leading to near complete annihilation, the war between the Tianyuan Dynasty and the Dragon Clan wouldn’t have ended so quickly.”

Leng Yu shook his head and said, ”She is indeed strong, but too arrogant, not even regarding men. Her brother is the Dragon Clan Crown Prince, yet over the years, her power has surpassed the Crown Prince’s. Ten years have passed, and last month, she gained control of more than half of the Dragon Clan’s military forces, finally sparking the war we feared...”

”She is a very strong woman, but also an ambitious one. We fear the Dragon Clan may be destroyed by her reckless ambition... Sigh.”

Leng Yu sighed, looking at Qin Tian: ”These are concerns for great figures. We, as common soldiers, should try to live well since there are no orders from above. Qin Tian, you must take care and look after yourself.”

Qin Tian heard the undeniable care in Leng Yu’s voice and nodded, ”Don’t worry, nothing will happen to me.”

...

On the way to Sea City, Qin Tian couldn’t shake off Leng Yu’s words.

The Dragon Clan’s most powerful woman in a century had gained power, marching westward against the Tianyuan Dynasty... Wow, what an incredible feat!

”Long Tianwu... hehe, in this lifetime, I wonder if I’ll ever meet such an amazing woman. Tsk tsk, leading troops at eighteen, defeating the East State Navy, known throughout the world, fame in one fell swoop...”

Qin Tian mused, feeling only admiration in his heart.

It’s just as well, since there were no missions from the Dragon Clan, Qin Tian could focus on achieving merits.

As Murong Fei said, for an ordinary Immortality Cultivator to rise through the military ranks, war and battlefield merits are the fastest way!

This was also an opportunity for Qin Tian!

Five days later, Qin Tian’s troops entered Sea City, fully prepared.

Five hundred kilometers east of Sea City, in Luo City, the East State Army and Dragon Clan’s army were engaged in a tug-of-war, with both sides making attacks and defenses. Neither seemed able to gain the upper hand.

”Currently, there are ten thousand East State soldiers in Luo City, and the Dragon Clan also has ten thousand. However, we are defending, and they are attacking. If the Dragon Clan captures Luo City, their next target will undoubtedly be Sea City.”

Liu Weihao gathered his ten Centurions, pointed at the map, and earnestly remarked, ”As per Commander Wu’s instructions, our current mission is to guard Sea City with the local force of two thousand, and we must not allow Sea City to fall.”

Qin Tian looked at the map and saw that Sea City was on low ground and Luo City on high ground. He worried that if Luo City fell, the Dragon Clan army could besiege Sea City from the high ground, making it difficult to defend.

”Lord Liu, when we entered the city, I examined Sea City’s defenses. I’m concerned that if Luo City is not defended, Sea City will be hard to hold... It’s a plain with poor fortifications, and without Flying Beast Soldiers, we can’t withstand the coordinated aerial and ground attacks of the Dragon Clan forces,” Qin Tian analyzed.

Upon hearing this, Liu Weihao gave Qin Tian an approving look and said, ”I have the same concern. During today’s meeting, I reported this to Commander Wu, but was chastised by him. Commander Wu seems unconcerned.”

”We can’t sit and wait for doom though. Although the strength in Luo City is currently matched with the Dragon Clan, they will certainly receive reinforcements. Once Dragon Clan reinforcements arrive, Luo City will surely fall. Lord Liu, we must report to Commander Wu immediately to proactively reinforce Luo City rather than just defend Sea City,” Qin Tian suggested.

”You and I have the same thought, and I’ve advised Commander Wu, but he paid me no heed, alas!”

Liu Weihao looked at the crowd, sighing: ”Commander Wu is from the Imperial City, a noble descendant. To him, our statuses... he probably doesn’t give it much thought. What can we do?”

Another Centurion also sighed: ”I heard that Commander Wu set out with four concubines to serve him... you call this going to battle?”

”No gossip!”

Liu Weihao glanced sharply at the man, ”It’s not for us to comment on our superiors. Let’s be ready to reinforce Luo City at any time. As soon as Commander Wu orders it, we’ll be the first to arrive.”

”Yes!”

Qin Tian responded, though inwardly sneering: ”Before a great war, the City Guard Army actually sent such an inept commander. Luo City, Sea City, are likely indefensible!”
