The Ministry of War had long been discussing how to deal with the border threat. However, the enemy's whereabouts were unpredictable, and their numbers consisted mainly of elites, along with a small number of logistics immortals. Together, they formed something akin to a mobile city, so sending a huge army to comb the area for them was clearly impractical.
"Over the years, we've been searching for them and have even considered sending spies into their ranks. Unfortunately, spies aren't easy to plant, and quite a few immortals have died trying. They also have many Dao Extremity immortals who have attained the Dao. If someone's identity is even slightly off, their fate is certain death." Ruan Qiushui spread her hands as she spoke.
"To deal with these Far Eastern border threats, we may really need to deploy our elites. Your military certainly can't comb the area for them—that would be like fishing for a needle in the ocean. So I think we should move troops to the Far Eastern border and make a show of force, then find a way to throw them into disarray." I drew a defensive line across the sand table.
"Move a huge army there just to put on a show? Then send small elite units in for airborne strikes?" Zhao Yu tapped the sand table.
Jing Chen nodded and said, "The problem is, we don't know how many Chaos Heaven Remnant Immortals they have, or how many Dao Extremity Immortals who have attained the Dao. If there are too many, even if we space them out, we'll still be in trouble."
"Exactly. It is troublesome, which is why the young lord has never made a move. We do have quite a few immortals who have attained the Dao, but their people are all Dao Extremity Immortals
