Chapter 399: Reopening the Store, Combining Skill Cards

Heh, Weichi Wudi was originally just a pawn that those people summoned to oppose Marshal Meng.

He cannot be considered one of their own; abandoning him naturally wouldn't cause any heartache.

Taiping Sect is clearly well-prepared this time.

Xun You also nodded, letting out a snort of laughter, and said.

I summoned you two here precisely to discuss this matter.

What lofty opinions do you two have?

Su Ye heard this, slightly nodded, and said.

For now, the only plan is to wait relaxed to tire the enemy and lure them deep in.

Guo Jia pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke.

Oh? Fengxiao, what do you mean by these words?

Su Ye raised his eyebrows, quite interested, and asked.

We can first feign weakness, letting the Taiping Sect think our army is exhausted and our combat strength diminished.

Then, when they launch a surprise attack, our army will suddenly counterattack and surely inflict heavy damage on their elite forces.

Guo Jia gave a slight smile and explained.

Fengxiao, this plan is still acceptable.

However, to make the Taiping Sect fall for it, we still need to put on a full act.

Xun You heard this, a hint of a smile flashed in his eyes.

Yousheng, what you said is absolutely correct.

Su Ye nodded in agreement, "Then, according to your opinions, how should we arrange things?"

Guo Jia and Xun You exchanged a smile, then began to elaborate on the discussed plan.

They decided to first deliberately spread news, claiming that the Cangzhou Army suffered heavy losses in battle against the Yellow Turban Army and morale was low.

At the same time, they adjusted troop deployments to create an appearance of utter exhaustion and complete lack of preparedness.

Meanwhile, they secretly gathered elite forces and set up ambushes along the routes where the Taiping Sect's elite troops might attack.

Just wait for the Taiping Sect to take the bait, then we can wipe them out in one fell swoop.

My lord, although this plan is feasible, the key is that our army needs sufficient elite forces to cope with the Taiping Sect's elite troops.

However, our army currently...

However, after Guo Jia and Xun You finished discussing, they both looked at Su Ye, and Guo Jia spoke.

He hadn't finished speaking, but the meaning was already clear.

The current Cangzhou Army is brave, but to deliver a fatal blow to the Taiping Sect's elite forces at a critical moment, the existing strength is still insufficient.

Fengxiao's words are absolutely correct. If our army lacks elite forces, this plan may be hard to succeed.

Xun You also nodded in agreement.

You two can plan as you like; I have my own way to obtain elite forces.

Su Ye heard this, smiled slightly, and his expression was confident.

Guo Jia and Xun You glanced at each other, both showing doubt in their eyes.

But they knew well that Su Ye was no ordinary person, always mysterious.

Since our lord said so, he must have some reliance.

If our lord has such confidence, we can rest assured.

Guo Jia clasped his fists, his tone revealing trust in Su Ye.

Since our lord has everything under control, we will await good news.

Xun You also nodded and said.

You two may return; tomorrow we will know the outcome.

Su Ye stood up, walked to the window, gazed into the night sky, already having a plan in mind, turned and said to the two.

Guo Jia and Xun You, hearing this, said no more and both took their leave.

System, how many summon points do I have left?

Su Ye gently closed his eyes and spoke to the system in his mind.

Ding! Querying, please wait.

Ding! The host currently has 3210 summon points left.

The system's notification sounded; looking at his remaining summon points, Su Ye nodded.

Originally, after purchasing the family summon card and the era summon card last time.

He himself had only 1250 summon points left.

However, during this period, although the battles on Li Jing's Qi Zhou front have ceased.

But Su Ye soon afterwards continued to embark on the next campaign.

During this period, whether it was Wei Qing's Feather Forest Army stationed at the Minglong Pass border.

Or the Wuzhou battlefield also provided Su Ye with many summon points.

However, during this period, Su Ye also bought various miscellaneous items from the system store several times.

Thus, during this period, earnings and expenditures balanced out.

Thus, he still had just over 3000 summon points left.

And the reason Su Ye is now so confident, daring to guarantee to Guo Jia and Xun You, is.

A card in his backpack—Special Troop Summon Card!

Special Troop Summon Card: After using it, the host can randomly summon a special troop that once existed in history.

This is something Su Ye recently dug out from the store.

It cost Su Ye 450 summon points.

Compared to the White Horse Yicong, it's much cheaper.

However, Su Ye was not surprised either.

Back when the White Horse Yicong was priced in the store, it had already been clearly marked that the White Horse Yicong was a unit of Dao Soldiers.

Moreover, it came with the two commanders-in-chief, Gongsun Zan and Zhao Yun.

As for that special troop card behind it, it looks pretty good.

But the uncertainty is too great.

Su Ye does not believe that all historically famous special troops, upon arriving in the Heavenly Martial Continent, would necessarily become Dao Soldiers.

That's unlikely; at most they might be just a bit stronger than ordinary elite troops.

Compared to Dao Soldiers, they'd definitely be far inferior.

In other words, this card is purely a gamble of 450 summon points for luck.

If luck is good, it could directly summon a unit of Dao Soldiers.

But if luck is bad, spending summon points would just summon soldiers that Li Jing, Meng Zhang, and others under his command could easily train.

Although it's actually not bad, compared to 500 summon points.

It's definitely a loss.

"System, open this month's shop."

Su Ye gently closed his eyes and said to the system in his mind.

"Ding! Opening the system shop, please wait."

The system's prompt sounded, and then a shop interface with gold trim and simple content appeared before Su Ye.

"Ding! First item: Unlimited Random Summon Card - 300 summon points."

Hmm. Again this stubborn holdout.

However, Su Ye now doesn't lack this bit of summon points.

Having it, he took it—these few Unlimited Summon Cards that Su Ye only has left to use.

The quality of what they summon counts as top-tier.

Therefore, regarding this Unlimited Random Summon Card.

Su Ye actually doesn't really reject it.

"Ding! Second item: Combination Skill Card - As Firm as a Rock! - 200 summon points. (Note: The host can choose two people and grant them a combined skill—As Firm as a Rock!"

"The final effect of this combined skill depends on the members; the higher the members' quality, the greater the combined skill effect!)"

Hmm?

A new product has come out?

And it's a skill card!

However, regarding this combined skill, Su Ye froze for a moment.

Generally speaking, even if a person possesses multiple combined skills.

But generally speaking, only one combined skill can be activated.

Unless there is some special circumstance, otherwise having too many combined skills is actually useless.

Moreover, this combined skill looks like a defensive type at first glance.

It's just unclear whether this combined skill's effect leans toward martial prowess, commander-in-chief side, or both.

The martial prowess side is easy to understand.

As for the commander-in-chief side, doing well in defensive battles and siege defenses can also be called As Firm as a Rock.
