The door panel continued, speaking frankly, "With so many troops, it's impossible for them all to squeeze onto the battlefield."
If Panlong had such a large army, he would have driven the Beka people back to their homeland long ago!
Hu Min noticed a detail:
After setting up the sand table, the general sat down, leaning against the bench, his back no longer as straight as before.
His complexion was terrible, and the dark aura between his eyebrows had intensified.
Bai Like added, "His main camp is stationed on Longgang."
"Are you sure?" the door panel asked doubtfully. "After surviving an assassination attempt, Gao Huaiyuan might have moved to another location."
“The wasteland opposite Panlong City is almost flat, and Longgang is the only high ground. As the battlefield commander, Gao Huaiyuan will find it difficult to give up there,” Hu Min continued. “But his defenses will definitely be greatly strengthened, and he may have set up many traps. It will be quite difficult for us to infiltrate.”
The heavily guarded enemy camp was a veritable den of dragons and tigers for their small team.
He Lingchuan took out a sand table and placed it on the long table, simulating the terrain of the Bega army's logistics camp, and asked Bai Like to point out the location of the main tent.
“There are three hills there, several tens to hundreds of feet apart, each with tents on it. Soldiers are constantly coming and going from the tents on each hill,” Bai Like continued. “Furthermore, while the entire army is fighting against the wind, only these three hills are calm and still, even the flags are at rest.”
“There’s a wind-stabilizing formation or treasure there,” He Lingchuan said. “It certainly looks like the location of the commander-in-chief.”
Hu Min frowned: "Then we need to find out which tent Gao Huaiyuan is in first!"
The man in the white hat asked, "What does Gao Huaiyuan look like?"
He Lingchuan immediately took out a portrait and gently tapped the back of it. The portrait was then brought to life in three dimensions, appearing indistinguishable from the real person.
This is a new supernatural power that has been developed in recent years. In the past, it was used to capture wanted criminals. It is very intuitive and vivid, unlike the abstract nature of flat paintings.
“I’ve seen this person before!” White-hatted man flapped his wings and lightly tapped the northernmost mountain peak. “Although it’s far away, I have definitely seen him. He was in this tent giving orders to others!”
Hu Min also asked it, "This is a very important matter, are you sure?"
"Nonsense!" White-Robed Guy rolled his eyes. "This is my innate insight!"
The Lushan bird's special talent is X-ray vision. Its ability to see through the internal organs of its prey is equally effective for detecting enemy activity; enemy tents are practically transparent to it.
He Lingchuan wanted it to come and help mainly because of this characteristic.
"Excellent, let's devise an assassination plan now." Time was of the essence, so He Lingchuan casually circled the hills on the sand table. "Once the assassination begins, Gao Huaiyuan will inevitably retreat as soon as possible. What we need to do is confine him to a certain area and prevent him from escaping!"
With a large army at his disposal, Gao Huaiyuan's first reaction in the event of danger would certainly not be to engage in hand-to-hand combat, but to get away from the danger as far as possible and then use his vast army to kill these blind assassins.
The assassination squad's job was to prevent him from getting too far. Everyone understood that the chances of killing someone instantly in the midst of a large army were extremely slim.
“An array for isolation?” Master Fuji pondered. “But Pili Tian is proficient in spatial magic. Even if he is not in the logistics camp, he probably left some methods behind.”
If Pi Litian only needs to give Gao Huaiyuan a little something, the chances of the enemy successfully trapping Gao Huaiyuan will drop sharply.
"Gao Huaiyuan is a coward, and I wonder how many protective magic artifacts he has."
Hu Min looked at He Lingchuan:
"Unless it is a dark canopy like the general's, forming its own space, he will have nowhere to escape."
He Lingchuan shook his head: "It's no longer usable."
It's overdrawn.
Everyone found it a difficult problem. Hu Min and Immortal Fuji offered a few more ideas, but they were all rejected.
A thought flashed through He Lingchuan's mind, and he suddenly remembered one of his old collections:
“I do have something that might be able to temporarily trap him.”
“If it’s an ordinary maze, it probably won’t work,” Immortal Fuji warned. “He has the Yuan power to see through the maze, and those thousands of elites can also break through the maze and rescue him. Unless we can kill him the moment we trap him.”
“This thing is quite special.” He Lingchuan himself hadn’t expected that it would come in handy one day. He had only kept it as a collectible before. “When unfolded, it becomes a self-contained entity, completely isolated from the outside world. Even if he uses Bilitian’s magic weapon, he cannot escape directly.”
If he said it was possible, then it was possible. The others didn't ask any further questions and immediately went to find the next challenge in the operation:
How do we infiltrate?
Gao Huaiyuan's main tent was protected by a wind-stabilizing technique, keeping the sand and dust out and making the area inside the barrier very quiet. Those who could enter the barrier were not ordinary soldiers; the entry and exit checks must have been strict.
Most importantly, the time left for He Lingchuan was too short. Every moment of the opportunity that Zhong Shengguang and all the soldiers on the front lines had gained with their lives was extremely precious, and he could not afford to make any further plans.
"Infiltrating the area around the main tent isn't difficult; the sandstorms of the raging sand season provide the best cover," the door panel said solemnly. "The difficulty lies in entering the wind-stabilizing barrier."
The solid barrier that Pili Tian secured with twelve silver pillars could only stop wind tornadoes and sandstorms; it had no effect on ordinary strong winds. Therefore, Bega's logistics camp was completely engulfed by sandstorms. With the wind howling and the sand blinding, who could possibly notice anything unusual in the surroundings?
Only then did He Lingchuan realize how far ahead Zhong Shengguang had planned his assassination attempt.
“Gao Huaiyuan’s tent is actually inside two layers of barriers,” Hu Min said. “There is a solid barrier of Bilitian on the outer edge, and another layer of wind-stabilizing barrier around the tent. We can only get as far as the wind-stabilizing barrier. If we go any further in, we have to be extra careful.”
"I'm afraid Gao Huaiyuan has concentrated 80% of his defensive forces inside the barrier. Leaving them outside would be useless and a waste."
“We don’t have time to figure out a reliable infiltration plan, so…” He Lingchuan tapped the circle on the sand table a few times with his fingertip, “Let’s not try to sneak around!”
After they finished their discussion, He Lingchuan walked out of the dilapidated house, holding up the Tiger Wing General's tally:
"Your Majesty, please lend us a hand."
He wanted to try pure force first. As the saying goes, brute force can overcome any skill; sometimes, violence is the most effective method.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a gust of sand blew in from somewhere, turning into a small whirlwind right in front of him.
This was Zhong Shengguang's response to him, and He Lingchuan felt a pang of sadness.
Zhong Shengguang ultimately could not escape his destiny; through an oath to the Great Square Pot, he transformed into the wind of the wasteland.
History repeats itself.
But Panlongcheng still has a chance, He Lingchuan still has a chance. Zhong Shengguang willingly transforms into a demon spirit, this time not out of despair, but out of hope!
