Chapter 782: The Three Giants’ Considerations

Leading troops into battle is the dream of every passionate man!
With the opportunity right before them, how could they not be excited?
“Happy!”
Besides Happy, many others were also thrilled. They sent messages to ask for Happy’s opinion, and even Silver Fox joined in:
“The battlefield is north of Shanxi, near the Mongolian border. That area belongs to Yipin Hall. This time, we’re in trouble…”
Silver Fox warned Happy.
The latter frowned briefly before replying quickly, “It’s fine. During the month of fighting, all the factions in the Central Plains will be invincible and won’t face any threats. No need to worry. Unless Yipin Hall wants to miss this opportunity, they won’t attack at such a time.”
“I think so too, but…” Silver Fox was still worried. “The battle won’t start for three days. Our people probably can’t cross the border with Yipin Hall in advance. Otherwise, if Yipin Hall seizes the chance to attack our border factions, it could be disastrous. But if we don’t go ahead now, too much time will be wasted, and we’ll lose the advantage…” It takes at least a day to travel from the border to the Mongolian border. If they set off early, it’s dangerous. If they wait until the actual battle day, facing the vast number of martial arts experts from the Central Plains, they doubt the Mongolian army can hold out until the end of the month.
Anyway, the Mu family is in a very passive position this time, while Yipin Hall has a huge advantage due to its proximity!
“I know that too. There’s nothing we can do. After all, Yipin Hall is in the north, so it’s inevitable they have an advantage.”
Happy was also helpless about this.
“On the last day, if you show up in the north, it might help a bit,” Silver Fox suggested.
Happy immediately smiled. “No problem. I’m already close to the capital.”
“That’s good. Shall I order my brothers to start preparing now?”
As Silver Fox replied, a message from Lei Zhan arrived in Happy’s hands. Lei Zhan asked directly how many people should be sent for this border battle.
“Whatever,” Happy replied after pondering for a while. “Tell everyone that for this mission, each disciple staying behind at the faction must earn 5,000 contribution points per day. Those who stay for a month will receive an extra piece of Level 3 equipment as a reward.”
“The rest who want to go to the border can form their own teams.”
“In that case, I can join too,” Lei Zhan said excitedly.
Happy could only smile bitterly.

It’s understandable though—since Lei Zhan established the Mu Mansion, he’s been staying in Baokang most of the time, rarely going far from there. He must be bored out of his mind, so this time he plans to take advantage of the two armies facing off to explore the outside world.
“It’s fine to go out; anyway, it’s on the border, and our own troops can’t attack each other.”
When saying this, Kai Xin actually felt quite regretful—this meant they couldn’t disrupt the accumulation of rank points for the Disciples of Yipin Hall.
“Good. Those guys in the mansion probably want to go out for a while too. I’ll order the Alchemy Hall to speed up the production of Yulu Pills and Baoyuan Pills. These things will definitely be in short supply on the battlefield.” Lei Zhan replied excitedly, “Hehe, I’ll bring a group of cavalry to experience what it’s like to charge into battle! Even if I die, it’ll be worth it to have been in the martial world! Haha…”
Kai Xin smiled helplessly, replied, and then discussed team formation with Yin Hu and Lei Zhan.
“That rank system is great. Not only can you lead troops, but you can also exchange points for military ranks upon returning. With enough points, you can even get the rank of general—killing people in the city won’t be illegal!”
“The Mongol army is known as having a million iron cavalry. There’s no exact number for their scouts and infantry, but I think the points could exceed 15 million… Hey, we can form a elite team and charge straight into their main forces…” Lei Zhan’s words quickly drew Yin Hu’s objection: “The two armies facing off isn’t like a martial world feud—it’s not that easy to succeed.”
“That’s right.”
Kai Xin agreed wholeheartedly. He didn’t underestimate the Mongol iron cavalry like Lei Zhan did.
These nomadic cavalrymen were all highly skilled archers and warriors. Kublai Khan was even a figure admired and praised by countless nations in history! Back then, he nearly covered the entire Eurasian continent with the territory of China…
Although it seems that the martial artists in the Central Plains are numerous and powerful now, creating a huge disparity in strength, underestimating Kublai Khan and his iron cavalry army would surely end in disaster.
“I’ve seen the elite heavy cavalry of the Marshal’s Army before…” Yin Hu sent a message to remind them, “Although the strength of the Mongol iron cavalry isn’t as good as theirs, it’s not much worse… And this is only the strength of ordinary iron cavalry. If it were the real Mongol iron cavalry, heavy cavalry, plus Kublai Khan’s archer-cavalry, they’d be a nightmare on the grasslands. With our strength, we simply can’t compete with them.”
“…”
Kai Xin didn’t refute Yin Hu’s opinion.

Outside Yangzhou City, even Jian Piao struck when the Marshal’s army’s heavy cavalry was at its weakest, using tactics to turn weakness into strength. Ordinary martial arts masters might find it easy to deal with one or two opponents, but they’re utterly helpless against a group.
“So powerful?”
Lei Zhan stuck out his tongue.
“Points aren’t that easy to earn. Otherwise, with so many players in China, how many points could each person get?” Yin Hu said earnestly, “That’s why I don’t recommend the Mu Family send too many people this time. Let’s not end up like in the Battle of Guangming Summit, where most people didn’t even get the crucial tickets.”
“Rather than wasting a month at the border, it’s better to focus on training for a month… In a month, I’m afraid Yipin Tang will also take action.”
Yin Hu didn’t forget to remind them:
“I heard from Bai Xiaosheng that Yipin Tang has decided to do whatever it takes to recruit Xi Men Chuixue’s disciple, that mysterious young man who defeated an emperor.” His tone grew extremely grave as he said this last part.
Even a top expert like an “emperor” couldn’t parry Xi Men Chuixue’s disciple’s sword strike, so Yin Hu felt even less confident…
If such a person fell into Yipin Tang’s Meng Yun’s hands and was used against the Mu Family, their situation would become even more dangerous.
Yin Hu’s concerns weren’t unfounded. Lei Zhan knew well, and Kai Xin understood too:
“This time, when I go to the capital, I’ll meet this mysterious young man in person.”
“Huh?” Both Yin Hu and Lei Zhan were shocked. A message was sent quickly: “But this is Yipin Tang’s territory. Isn’t it inappropriate to do that?”
“Yeah, it’s better to wait until this matter is over.” The two hurriedly dissuaded him, “If you win, he won’t suffer any harm, but if you lose…”
“Have some confidence in me. I’m at the Liberation Realm. If I lose to Xi Men Chuixue’s disciple, it’ll be a good chance for me to see my own shortcomings…” After a pause, Kai Xin’s tone changed, “The key is, I really want to meet this young man named Ren Jie and see just how fast his swordsmanship is.”
