Chapter 636: A bold idea gradually took shape in his mind!

Although Hantie Pass was an important pass in the North, its position was further back and not the main battlefield.

Li Chen's system mission was also simple: just wait for the war to start and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

Tuoba Anyu recently heard from Ren Ling that the war in the North had fully escalated, and she couldn't help but worry about her only son, Tuoba Zhen.

Although her son's position was now opposite to hers, mother and son were connected at heart, and Tuoba Zhen had been extremely filial to her in the past; this attachment was hard to let go.

However, having lived in May Tian Ce for a long time, especially after spending a long time with Li Chen, she increasingly recognized Li Chen's power and the prosperous national strength of the May Tian Ce Dynasty.

In contrast, her son was now just a hired thug living under someone else's roof and working for the Daluo Emperor; his situation could be said to be at a great disadvantage.

She secretly pondered that she couldn't help her son with anything, and perhaps the only thing she could do was to serve Li Chen even more wholeheartedly, hoping that if her son were defeated and captured in the future, she could use this favor to beg Li Chen to spare his life.

This was the most humble prayer a mother could think of when she was powerless.

Li Chen, however, was far less complicated than she thought.

In his eyes, Tuoba Anyu was more of a gentle harbor to solve his needs—mature, plump, and sensible, which he found quite enjoyable.

She could make some harmless little requests, and Li Chen would satisfy them when he was in a good mood, but if she made excessive requests that touched his bottom line, she would inevitably be neglected or even punished.

This day, Li Chen rarely had the leisure to hold Tuoba Anyu's slender waist and ask about some things regarding the Daluo Dynasty's cultivation system.

Tuoba Anyu leaned in his arms and explained softly: "The mainstream cultivation system of the Daluo Dynasty is not the profound energy or spiritual power we often see, but the ancient 'Witchcraft,'

However, Your Majesty must distinguish that this witchcraft is not the 'witchcraft of poisonous insects and gu' from the Southern Border, but the 'witchcraft of spells' that leans more toward communicating with the natural spirit world and borrowing the power of incantations.

In Daluo, those shaman wizards who can cast powerful witch spells have extremely noble status."

Images of those shamans appeared in her mind, and she continued to describe: "They usually wear complicated feather and animal-skin sacrificial robes, and paint mysterious and ferocious patterns on their faces with various mineral and plant pigments, dancing and chanting in the ice and snow.

It looks a bit terrifying, but the Daluo Dynasty from top to bottom holds them in awe. It is said that this time on the border front, many shaman wizards accompanying the army have also appeared."

As a home-staying beautiful mature woman, this news was naturally told to her by Ren Ling and Lu Mumu.

Of course, these two women didn't know Tuoba Anyu's true identity, only knowing that she was one of Li Chen's women.

After all, he was an emperor, so it was impossible for him to have only one beauty.

Li Chen heard this and immediately developed a strong curiosity about this unique profession.

Last time, playing a holy official in the Yongzhou Empire allowed him to experience the wonders of faith power, and he had gained a lot.

He thought to himself that after this war ended, he must find an opportunity to travel to the Daluo Dynasty and deeply understand their "customs," especially this shaman witch-spell technique.

However, the preparations for the war were cumbersome and long, not something that could be done in a day or two.

Although the two sides were already at daggers drawn, a large-scale battle would not happen for a while.

The allocation of grain and fodder, the collection of detailed intelligence, the planning of attack routes, etc., all took time.

Especially on Tuoba Zhen's side, he was busy secretly inciting old troops and planning a decapitation operation against Han Wu; many conspiracies were being carried out in full swing.

This belonged to the stage of game between the two sides.

Li Chen was a bit bored in the military camp, looking at the military register listlessly, when Feng Shuo ran in fawningly.

"Master! Master Cheng!" Feng Shuo's fat face was full of smiles, his small eyes narrowed into a line. "This subordinate led a team to patrol a hundred miles outside the pass today and bumped into a small group of sneaky Daluo shaman wizards! Looking at their appearance, they wanted to sneak into our territory to do some dirty work!

This subordinate immediately led people to charge and kill seven or eight of them! I wanted to catch a live one to bring back for Master to interrogate, but that bunch of guys was extremely evil. Seeing that escape was hopeless, they actually chanted strange incantations and ended their own lives!"
