Little Tigress War God (1)
"Wait, here you go!" Taiya nimbly grabbed Ye Lang's gold coins, then tossed out a few copper coins. These coins were only worth a few copper coins, far more than the gold coins.
This wasn't the first time Taiya had stopped him. She already had quite a few gold coins that she had intercepted from Ye Lang. Seeing these gold coins, she felt ashamed; this young master was too good at wasting money.
Of course, she didn't pocket these gold coins. Instead, she found a way to put them into Ye Lang's wallet. Ye Lang himself had no concept of gold coins, and he wouldn't know if there were more or less.
She was similar to Tiger Girl in this respect, so Ye Lang didn't pay much attention to it.
At the same time, the situation in this tribe doesn't seem to indicate the approach of war, let alone that they have been at war all along. Are the Orcs so used to war?
Ye Lang hadn't noticed this either, because he was completely unaware of the existence of war, and even if he had, he wouldn't have cared!
"Young Master, you've arrived. May I take a look at this...?"
As soon as Ye Lang and his companion stepped into the Council Hall, before they could even ask anything, Athena summoned them and asked Ye Lang to look at the situation on the sand table.
"You're still playing a sandbox game? Why is the progress so slow? Why hasn't the game from a few days ago ended yet?" Ye Lang knew from the sandbox that it was the "game" he had seen before.
"Our opponent is quite far away, so it's a bit slower." Athena found a very suitable explanation, which explained why it was so slow, since they were playing a battle with someone far away.
"You guys are really bored. With this much time, why don't you just call people over... Attack from here during the day, feign an attack from here, and retreat from here..." Ye Lang glanced at it and immediately made a plan, which looked a bit inexplicable and seemed to have no rules at all.
This makes one wonder if Ye Lang was just saying it casually.
Athena was thinking. Now she had to take a gamble, betting that Ye Lang still rejected the method. This was a difficult question, and she thought about it for a long time before making a decision!
"Fine, we'll do it the way Young Master says!" Athena gritted her teeth, thinking to herself, "So be it!"
Although Ye Lang's casual attitude made her feel that the chances were slim, what else could she do at this point? She could only try anything, even if it seemed hopeless!
Thus, Ye Lang was drawn into this war, unaware that he was now at odds with Tiger Girl, and that the two would later become "their greatest enemies."
Of course, Ye Lang only treated this as a sand table simulation game!
Upon receiving the feedback, Tiger Girl's side, seeing this change, felt that the other side had given up and began to press their advantage.
"What?! They've made their move! Call them all back! This is a trap! Can't you see? This is the young master's usual chaotic battle tactic. They won't even know how they died!!" Tiger Girl shouted as soon as she realized what was happening, but it seemed it was too late.
After she shouted, she felt a little strange. Why was it so strange? This seemed like the young master's style, but how could the young master be here, and even on the other side's side?
Perhaps, this was something the young master learned from someone during a sandplay game, and that person just happened to be here.
Just as Tiger Girl had thought, Ye Lang's next few steps perfectly utilized the seemingly scattered troops. People then realized that this was a meticulously planned scheme, and some seemingly useless actions were actually the key to the problem.
This time, Athena's gaze towards Ye Lang changed, and the tone of her addressing him as "Young Master" also changed. Before, it was somewhat indifferent, but now it was filled with respect!
On the other side...
"Who is it, and why is this happening?"
After witnessing the changes in the battle situation over the past few days, Tiger Girl found it increasingly hard to believe. Of course, it wasn't that she didn't believe someone was suppressing her; she simply didn't have much confidence in herself, as this was, after all, her first time commanding a battle.
She simply didn't trust Ye Lang's tactical style; it felt too familiar to her, like playing sand table games with Ye Lang before.
"Miss, what should we do now? It seems we're about to lose!" someone nearby said dejectedly. They were on the verge of victory, but the situation has taken such a sharp turn for the worse.
"It's alright! If the tactics don't work, then we'll use other factors!" Tiger Girl shook her head and said calmly.
"Other factors?" The person next to him seemed a little confused.
"Yes! Young Master said that sand table simulations are just simulations after all. There are many factors in real combat, and the most important one is morale!!" Tiger Girl took out her Taiya's Blade and gently stroked it.
"Morale? Miss, you mean..." Although the people around did not understand what morale specifically meant, they understood when they saw Tiger Girl take out the Taiya's Blade.
"I want to fight!" Tiger Girl said calmly.
At this moment, the people around felt very happy, and their hearts began to boil with excitement, because Tiger Girl's combat skills had once made them feel excited. Just thinking about it could make them feel this way. If Tiger Girl performed perfectly, the impact on morale would be immeasurable.
And this makes one feel a sense of anticipation...
"This is bad! The little tiger girl on the other side has personally joined the battle! Even though we have the advantage, their momentum is too strong, we can't stop them!!"
Soon, Athena received the news, which was exactly what she feared most. The situation that had seemed to give her a significant advantage now felt incredibly powerless!
"Bring the young master here!" Athena had only one option: to let Ye Lang handle it.
"Do you think the young master can handle this?" Thomas and the others felt that it seemed impossible to solve this tactically; the only solution was to find someone to suppress the little tiger girl.
"If we can't handle it, we need him to keep us in check..." Athena said with a hint of helplessness.
"..."
After Athena's reminder, everyone remembered what Ye Lang's role was in their lives—he was originally used to threaten Tiger Girl.
At this moment, everyone hoped that Ye Lang could handle this matter. They didn't want to do something so shameless. Of course, now that they had some feelings for Ye Lang, they were even more unwilling to do this.
However, the result was not what they wanted to see!
"No! If such a thing happened in reality, then people would be the ones in control of the war, not the strategies. You would need to restrain this person, which is beyond the scope of the sand table simulation. I can't help you with that!" Ye Lang shook his head, denying everyone's hopes.
