Chapter 615: Feihuang's Lightning Offensive: Eight Cities Taken in Five Days

"Is he crazy? Is Nan Feihuang insane...!" Dai Mubai paced back and forth in anxiety, cursing Nan Feihuang for half an hour before finally saying to Tang San, "Xiao San, do you think this Nan Feihuang has lost his mind? With the three-way standoff, it's one thing that he won't unite with us to resist the Spirit Empire, which has the greatest overall strength, but he's actually attacking us instead. Is he not afraid that the Spirit Empire will swoop in and reap the rewards on this continent?"

Tang San kept rubbing his chin in thought, "This is also what puzzles me. Nan Feihuang has always given me the impression not of a crown prince of a nation, but of a battlefield general. Just like his nickname, the Flying General, a man like him cannot possibly be ignorant of the principles of forming alliances, nor can he be ignorant of military strategy."

"The current situation is completely different from back then. The Spirit Empire dared to attack us initially because they didn't know about the return of the Clear Sky Sect and my great-grandfather. Now, the whole world knows that we in Star Luo have one of the two pillars of the Spirit Master world as our backbone. As long as my great-grandfather is still here, no one can easily take down the Star Luo Empire. Why must Nan Feihuang fight us to mutual destruction? Furthermore, if I were the Spirit Empire, wouldn't now be the perfect time to send troops to take Heaven Dou while Nan Feihuang is personally dealing with Star Luo? Does Nan Feihuang not care about his wife, Xue Ke?"

"Oh, Third Brother, Boss Dai, what is there to be afraid of? We have Senior Tang Chen here, and besides, Senior Tang Chen has a divine weapon in his hands. No matter how many come, they'll all face Death." Ma Hongjun looked indifferent. Having heard the stories of the two pillars of the Spirit Master world since he was a child, he believed Tang Chen was invincible.

Moreover, the current Tang Chen is even stronger than the Tang Chen of the past. After all, the Tang Chen of the past did not have the most overbearing Slaughter Domain, nor did he have the Asura Demon Sword.

After speaking, he pushed away the beauty in his arms and ran to Bai Chenxiang's side with a fawning expression, saying, "Xiangxiang, you are always running around delivering intelligence; it's really too exhausting. Why don't I treat you to a meal? Eat something good, and then get some proper Rest."

Just like in the original work, Ma Hongjun fell in love with Bai Chenxiang at first sight. After all, Bai Chenxiang was indeed very beautiful, and with her purple dress, short skirt, and black stockings, she could be described as both pure and possessing Charm. The moment he saw her, Ma Hongjun's evil fire flared up, and he had to go to a brothel for a day and a night to calm it down.

From then on, he began his frantic pursuit of Bai Chenxiang, or perhaps the word "pestering" would be more appropriate.

After all, this Ma Hongjun's evil fire was not only unresolved, but due to years of indulgence, it had flared up even more severely. He looked incredibly sleazy, and he had gained two full circles of weight.

Bai Chenxiang was somewhat of a person who valued appearances; how could she possibly fancy such a fat man?

Unfortunately, her cousin seemed to have the intention of playing matchmaker between her and Ma Hongjun, always telling her to be polite to him. Bai Chenxiang dared not defy Tang San, so she could only be polite on the surface while keeping him at a distance in reality.

She did not yet know that Ma Hongjun was already prepared to go directly to Bai He to propose marriage.

"Xiangxiang is not tired. With a great enemy at the gates, I still have many important matters to attend to, and intelligence from all over needs to be organized. As for the meal, let's skip it. Your Highness, Cousin, Xiangxiang takes her leave!" Bai Chenxiang flew out of the Crown Prince's Palace as if she were fleeing for her life.

Ma Hongjun watched her graceful back disappear into the horizon, and his lower body reacted again. It seemed that tonight, he would have to spend the night in a brothel again.

Dai Mubai and Tang San exchanged a glance, both with grim expressions. The reason Ma Hongjun could still be so carefree was that he did not know the true situation regarding Tang Chen.

After all, he had only just joined Star Luo and was not yet qualified to touch the greatest secret.

That's right, Tang Chen was very strong, and they also believed that with the Asura Demon Sword in hand, he was currently the strongest in the world, invincible beneath the gods.

The problem was, this was a one-time-use item. Even if he struck down Nan Feihuang, it would greatly consume the power of the Asura God within his body that was used to suppress the Bat King.

At that point, the Bat King's virulent poison would backfire, and he would be doomed to Death.

Without Tang Chen, Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong would inevitably move against Star Luo, and Star Luo would no longer have the power to resist them.

Although Tang Xiao was not weak, he was far inferior to Qian Daoliu. Back then, Chen Jianjun was such a high-level expert, yet he couldn't even force out Qian Daoliu's soul skill before suffering a crushing defeat and severe Injury, eventually dying from his wounds.

If Tang Xiao were to face Qian Daoliu, the outcome would likely be no better.

Thinking of this, Tang San said in a deep voice, "Mubai, let's send an envoy to find Nan Feihuang and explain the pros and cons to him. If he fights us to the death, the one who benefits in the end will be the Spirit Empire. Does he really want to see such a situation?" "Now that they have just attacked, they shouldn't have penetrated deep into our heartland; this is the only opportunity."

Dai Mubai nodded; Tang San's words made sense. If possible, he really did not want to go to war with the Gulei Empire.

Just as he was about to write the letter, a purple streak of light suddenly flew back—it was none other than the recently departed Bai Chenxiang.

This caused Dai Mubai's heart to contract; every time Bai Chenxiang came with such urgency, nothing good ever happened.

Could it be that the Spirit Empire had attacked as well?

"Your Highness, Cousin, it's bad! Nan Feihuang is leading ten thousand troops in a forced march, launching a lightning offensive. Within five days, he has already taken nine cities of Star Luo in succession, and he is now not far from Xingluo City." Bai Chenxiang said it all in one breath.

Just moments ago, after she finished reporting the situation to Dai Mubai and returned to her intelligence department, she didn't expect that in less than half an incense stick's time, her desk would be piled high with intelligence from all over again.

When she finished reading this intelligence, she was completely terrified. As expected of the big brother Feihuang who saved her and her Grandpa Yang back then, he was truly fierce when it came to fighting.

"How could they attack so quickly? What about their resources? Don't they need logistical supplies?" Dai Mubai couldn't believe it at all. If a forced march moved this fast, could the baggage train in the rear keep up?

Even if they had powerful Food-type Soul Masters, it was impossible to continuously produce rations for an army of ten thousand for several days in a row, right?

Is their soul power enough? Or is it that a Food-system Title Douluo has truly appeared in this world? "Your Highness, the intelligence says that Nan Feihuang brought no baggage at all. The entire army is traveling light, taking food from the enemy. They fight and plunder wherever they go. Although they don't touch the property of the common people at all, they seize as much grain and grass as they can from our various military camps, and whatever they can't take, they set on fire," Bai Chenxiang said.

The Min Clan had been doing intelligence work for many years, and they had never heard of such a tactic.

"Blitzkrieg!" Tang San was startled. He seemed to have heard of this tactic; it was from his previous life. In history, there seemed to be a general with the surname Huo who was the master of this tactic.

He didn't remember the name, only that he was a super-fierce man who destroyed six nations in five days, fighting the Xiongnu until they could only sing sadly: "Lost my Qilian Mountains, making my six domestic animals unable to breed; lost my Yanzhi Mountains, making my women lose their color."

It was a pity that Tang San's Tang Sect was a martial arts sect that played with poison and had no research into history, otherwise he would have realized it sooner.

In fact, Tang San's military level was at most at the level of cutting off food supplies.

The problem was, Nan Feihuang had no food supplies in the rear now; he was eating everything of yours, so how could you cut it off? "This... even without the burden of grain and grass, what about the physical condition of the soldiers? Does he not care? A forced march has always been a military taboo. How on earth did he manage to do it?" Dai Mubai was, after all, a crown prince and understood a little.

In fact, this problem was indeed not easy to solve.

Even someone as strong as Huo Qubing, although his battle results were bountiful, the actual price paid was not small, and the casualties were heavy. A forced march made the soldiers' physical strength consume extremely rapidly after fighting for several days in a row. If it weren't for the continuous victories, the morale would have been gone long ago.

But Feihuang did not have this worry, because...
