Chapter 336

Although the Cloud Prince's Mansion, like us, is a different-surname prince, their ambitions are the same as ours, but their stance may not necessarily match ours.

The Cloud Prince's Mansion has always craved greater power, and the three princesses in their hands are the chips they use to vie for power.

If they use these three princesses to win over popular support or collude with other forces, it will pose a significant threat to us.

Night Cloud looked at Night Wraith and explained.

Mr. Yi's opinion—how should we respond?

Upon hearing this, Night Wraith's expression gradually grew solemn.

First, we must closely monitor the Cloud Prince's Mansion's movements, especially the whereabouts of those three princesses.

Second, we can strengthen our ties with the Yan Province Master Family's Yan King, jointly guarding against the Cloud Prince's Mansion's ambitions.

Finally, we must also strengthen our own strength to be prepared for any eventuality.

My lord, the Cangzhou army holds its position; should we also adjust our strategy?

Night Wraith nodded, agreeing.

Having Mr. Yi by my side is truly my fortune, Night Wraith.

He is like a keen leopard, constantly vigilant of his surroundings, ready to respond to any possible crisis at any moment.

In this chaotic world, every step must be taken cautiously, as each decision could affect the overall situation.

News from all sides fluttered in like autumn leaves in the wind, pouring into Night Wraith's ears.

In the study, candlelight flickered, and Night Wraith's silhouette cast a long shadow on the wall.

My lord, you overpraise me; I am merely doing my duty.

The two exchanged a smile, their mutual understanding letting them say nothing more.

In this chaotic world, any oversight could lead to total loss.

Su Ye's Cangzhou army did not launch a full-force assault on the Night Slaughter army as expected, but adopted a watchful stance, as if waiting for something.

Mr. Yi's words are absolutely correct. I will send people to closely monitor the Cloud Prince's Mansion's movements and strengthen ties with the Yan Province Master Family's Yan King.

Recent news has made Night Wraith ponder deeply.

However, Night Wraith did not relax his vigilance because of this.

This move undoubtedly confirms Night Wraith et al.'s judgment: Su Ye does not truly intend to be our enemy; he is secretly observing, waiting to act, aiming to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

He sat quietly there, his eyes deep and resolute.

Night Wraith patted Night Cloud's shoulder and spoke emotively.

Night Cloud pondered briefly, then spoke slowly.

Each piece of news was like a chill in the autumn wind, reminding him of the complexity and cruelty of this chaotic world.

Night Cloud bowed and said.

As time passed, news kept arriving.

Night Cloud's voice broke the study's silence.

Although the Cloud Prince's heir has not moved, we cannot therefore stand still. Strengthen training, heighten vigilance, and wait quietly for the opportunity.

In this chaotic world, what is needed is patience and determination.

Night Wraith smiled faintly and shook his head.

Night Cloud silently nodded upon hearing it, knowing Night Wraith's decisions are always carefully considered.

The time has not yet come; we shall watch and wait.

Night Wraith murmured to himself, his finger tracing across the map; each route and each strategic point was deeply imprinted in his mind.

He knew Su Ye's watchful stance was not aimless; he was waiting for the optimal moment.

The night was like ink, deep and solemn, as if it could swallow all light.

Yet within this thick darkness, an army moves silently.

It is none other than Su Ye's Cangzhou army.

Su Ye, who was secretly undermining the Da Qian dynasty's foundations, just as Night Wraith et al. expected, had no intention of leading his army north to clash head‑on with the Night Slaughter army.

Instead, he left 30,000 troops under Wei Qing's command, and also handed over the five divine generals of the Armored Warrior unit to Wei Qing.

Thereafter, he led the remaining 90,000 Cangzhou troops straight south along Heng Province.

Straight for the Yellow Turban army led by Meng Hu King of Wu Province and Zhang Liang!

In the night, the 90,000-strong army moved like a winding dragon.

The soldiers' armor gleamed coldly in the faint moonlight, their steps uniform and rhythmic, as if sounding a magnificent war song.

Moonlight poured like water over the vast plain, reflecting the solemn and resolute faces of the 90,000-strong army.

War flags snapped in the night wind, as if cheering for the impending battle.

At this moment, on the vast plain outside Wu Province's city, Shen Zhian and Si Yan stood shoulder to shoulder, their gazes fixed on the dust rising on the distant horizon.

That was the 100,000-strong Cangzhou army led by Su Ye; their arrival undoubtedly added a layer of raging storm to this already tense war.

Look, that is the army of the Cangzhou Provincial Governor.

Shen Zhian pointed into the distance, his voice filled with deep anticipation.

As beacon fires rose throughout the Da Qian dynasty's territory, Shen Zhian also suffered.

After the Da Qian dynasty confirmed that his side could hold out, it gradually reduced its support to Shen Zhian's side.

Instead, it redirected its forces to western Yan Province, northern regions, and eastern Heng Province.

Thus, Shen Zhian has not seen such strong support for a long time.

I've heard that since this Cloud Prince's heir took command of Cangzhou, war gods have gathered under his banner.

I don't know whether this army contains any opponents who would interest me.

Si Yan followed the direction of Shen Zhian's finger, a glint of fighting spirit flashing in his eyes.

He is such a martial arts fanatic, finding joy in battle.

Although this period, it's because the strongest of the Lion Camel Ridge's Three Demons, Kong Jin, has recovered from his injuries.

With the Green Lion and White Elephant, he activates the combo skill and keeps pressing down on the Flame Emperor Hammer.

But who is the Flame Emperor?

Although it's not that he can't afford to lose, for the most part this period has seen the Lion Camel Ridge's Three Demons ganging up on him three to one.

Therefore, the Flame Emperor ended up being brutally beaten.

But I still refuse to accept it!

Mainly just being hard-headed.

"Indeed, I've heard that Inspector Su not only has brave and skilled troops under his command, but what's even rarer is the wisdom and foresight of his many strategists."

"This time, he leads troops to come support us; he will surely lend us a hand and defeat King Meng Hu's Yellow Turban Army."

Shen Zhian nodded and said.

As Su Ye's army approached, one could clearly see the soldiers' high morale and neat formation.

At the front, Su Ye wore armor and rode a black warhorse.

"Haha, Inspector Su, you've worked hard all the way!"

Shen Zhian rode forward to meet him, shouting loudly.

"General Shen, General Si, you two holding Martial Prefecture and resisting the enemy outside Heaven Prefecture—that's the real hardship."

"We have merely fulfilled our duty."

Su Ye gently pulled the reins, gave a slight smile, and replied with a clasped-fist salute.

"May I ask, Inspector Su, what is your view on the current situation in Martial Prefecture?"

After exchanging pleasantries, Shen Zhian couldn't help but ask.

"All along, the Yellow Turban Army may have high morale, but their forces are scattered and lack unified command."

"We can take advantage of this, employing a tactic of dividing forces to strike together, defeating them one by one."

Su Ye pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke.
