Since the Dragon Clan’s invasion of East State, they’ve been advancing triumphantly.

Even if there were occasional defeats, the casualties were minimal, the largest totaling just over ten thousand.

But this time, they lost more than twenty thousand!

And they stumbled upon an obscure little commander!

”Alright, now that General Chen Feng and other commanders are absent, and General Zhang Qicheng has lost contact, all of you will temporarily be under my command, Qin Tian. Any objections?”

Qin Tian used True Qi to amplify his voice, ensuring everyone could hear.

After the voice echoed out, no one objected.

The eight chiliarchs in the front gave each other a look, and almost simultaneously, they knelt before Qin Tian, saying in unison: ”Willing to serve Commander Qin!”

The leading figures all knelt, and others followed suit, shouting: ”Willing to serve Commander Qin!”

Voices echoed through the mountains and forests. Qin Tian stood at the forefront, his face solemn, but the corner of his mouth showed a hint of a smile.

He only wanted to earn merit, never expecting that heaven would grant him such a great gift; with Chen Feng and other high-ranking generals dead, he, as a commander, was now the highest officer!

”Blessing in disguise…” Qin Tian thought to himself, naturally feeling delighted.

As a general, when leading troops in battle, the most important factor is the strength of his forces.

Now, he initially had ten thousand, but after a fierce battle, instead of being reduced, his troops increased to twenty-five thousand. Isn’t this a great fortune?

”Good, from now on, let’s fight the enemy together!”

Qin Tian’s gaze swept from left to right, his voice empowered by True Qi resonated.

Everyone rose, one chiliarch among the eight asked Qin Tian: ”Commander Qin, what should we do next? Do we still head to Yang City, break through the Dragon Clan’s blockade, and meet up with General Zhang?”

As soon as this question was raised, everyone turned to look at Qin Tian.

After all, despite having defeated the Dragon Clan’s army this time, the City Guard Army’s current situation remained unfavorable.

They were stuck in the wilderness, far from any village or shop, and if they continued toward Yang City, the Dragon Clan, after their defeat, would surely be desperate to hunt down Qin Tian.

But if not heading to Yang City, where else could they go? Considering that most areas east of Yang City were occupied by the Dragon Clan.

”I have my arrangements, rest assured, I will be responsible for everyone!”

After Qin Tian spoke, he directed everyone away from the battlefield, leading them to a clean grassland to begin resting.

Qin Tian, Xiao Zhuang, Lin Yu, and Zhao Lanjin stood at the edge of the grassland, all were gazing towards the distant forest.

Xiao Zhuang said: ”Boss, we can’t stay here forever, Changfeng Town is easy to defend but difficult to attack, we should find a new place.”

”Everyone knows that, but the key is where to relocate.” Lin Yu said.

Qin Tian leisurely withdrew his gaze, saying: ”After defeating the Dragon Clan, I think that Long Xuanji must be enraged, so if we try to enter Yang City through the Dragon Clan’s surveillance area now, it’s definitely walking into a trap, a sure death.”

”Therefore, I thought of a place where we can temporarily go and assess the situation.” Qin Tian glanced at the three.

Zhao Lanjin and Xiao Zhuang simultaneously asked: ”Sanhe City!?”

After speaking, their gaze, along with Lin Yu’s, turned to Qin Tian.

Qin Tian smiled faintly: ”Great minds think alike, it is indeed the easy-to-defend but hard-to-attack Sanhe City.”

Lin Yu reminded: ”Boss, are you sure? If we head towards Sanhe City, it’s too far from Yang City, we’ll become isolated forces.”

Qin Tian said: ”That can’t be helped, wherever we go without entering Yang City, we’ll be isolated forces, heading to Sanhe City is the most stable choice, as the garrison there is mostly deployed, it’s practically an empty city.”

Qin Tian made an immediate decision, directing everyone to head straight to Sanhe City to seize it.

In reality, Qin Tian had other thoughts, such as establishing contact with Yang City to attack Long Xuanji from both sides; given that their troops were not many and after losing significantly, their chance of victory with a pincer movement was at least sixty percent.

But Qin Tian did not choose this route.

He knew very well that no matter the method, if they returned to Yang City, there would be plenty of high-ranking officers higher than him, Qin Tian’s reorganized troops would surely be handed over, and he would still lack a voice, still fighting under Zhang Qicheng’s mediocre command.

Rather than that, better to go it alone.

This thought emerged in Qin Tian’s mind, now that he had over twenty thousand underlings, he was confident in managing them well, and of course, he wasn’t planning on distributing what he considered his; he intended to thoroughly consolidate the sixteen thousand for himself.

Thus, the reorganized 25,000-strong City Guard Army set out straight for Sanhe City, hundreds of miles away.

...

”What? Both generals are dead!?”

Outside Yang City, twenty miles away in the Dragon Clan’s military camp, a woman in silver armor, looking valiant and spirited, furrowed her brows, her eyes filled with disbelief and shock: ”We lost two generals and twenty thousand… This… This is the greatest defeat our Dragon Clan has suffered on the East State battlefield, it’s simply a disgrace!”

This woman appeared to be in her thirties, with an air of valiance that made others hesitate to approach.

She was Long Xuanji, confidant and friend of Long Tianwu.

”And what of Chen Feng?” Long Xuanji asked.

”Reporting to the general, dead, Chen Feng and his four commanders all perished, along with six military advisers.”

”Four commanders? Not five?”

”Reporting to the general, there were five commanders, but only four died.”

”What about the remaining one?”

”Reporting to the general, the remaining one is the person who defeated us, named Qin Tian, graduated from East Han Academy of East Capital City a few months ago.”

”Qin Tian… Why have I never heard of this person… Haha, a commander, it’s reasonable not to remember, yet it was this person who handed us the greatest defeat, nailing us to the pillar of shame. General, what do you think?”

Long Xuanji sat at the top seat, several Dragon Clan generals were discussing military matters with her.

”General Xuanji, we have never experienced such a disgrace, this hatred must be avenged! I request General Xuanji grant me ten thousand elite soldiers, I assure you I’ll kill Qin Tian and annihilate him!” a general confidently stood up.

”Subordinate also willing to handle Qin Tian!”

”I am also willing!”

Other generals voiced their willingness, Long Xuanji smiled slightly: ”But now we’re in a standoff with Zhang Qicheng, where are the spare troops for you? You want me, over a never-heard name of a commander, to neglect important matters?”
