Azure Waves Northwest, Barbarian Lands.
"Council Speaker, a letter has arrived from the Yang Clan Sacred Land!"
Inside a military tent on a frontier battle line, a Barbarian messenger entered the main command tent and reported.
Mont was carefully studying the battle line plan he had received yesterday, his eyes full of admiration.
This plan had come from Yang Lingqing. During the three-way war council some time ago, as the overall commander of the Northwest, she had taken on this toughest bone to chew.
At the time, some cultivators from the Central Region had raised considerable objections, believing it far too hasty to entrust such an important matter to a Core Formation Cultivator.
After all, battle line planning directly involved specific troop deployments and defensive strategies. Whoever drafted it ought to have at least Spiritual Connection Realm cultivation.
But with the staunch support of cultivators from the Dongfang Clan and Fuyao Sect, those opposing voices were ultimately suppressed.
"Truly remarkable. She had considered every angle and attended to every detail. No wonder Lorraine always told me that this Yang Family Patriarch hid her depths well."
Mont's fingertips traced across the battle line map bit by bit. Everything he could think of, Yang Lingqing had already considered thoroughly.
As for possible changes he could not have foreseen, Yang Lingqing had likewise formulated corresponding contingency strategies.
"Hmph. I imagine those Central Region cultivators who raised objections back then will be left speechless once they see these results."
"Uh, Council Speaker—"
"I heard you. Read it."
"Yes!"
The Barbarian messenger acknowledged the order, then relayed to Mont the message received through the Cheng Yang Stone Tablet.
In this message, Yang Lingqing issued an order for Mont to lead an elite squad to inspect an area along the northwestern edge of the Barbarian Land.
