Chapter 457: Flowing Water is Heartless

Mu Lan wore a red robe and brass battle armor, her left hand falling to the hilt of the sword at her waist, pulling it upward fiercely.

Clang.

With a crisp sound of metal collision, most of the precious sword at her waist was pulled out of the scabbard.

Mu Lan did not pull this weapon out completely, only most of it. This degree was enough for her to launch a military strategy.

I saw the water wave patterns on the blade flowing rapidly, similar to the Profound Yellow Sword; the military strategy cast in this Spring-Gushing Sword was activated.

At the same time, Mu Lan shook the commander's flag, dispatching the surrounding soldiers to change the battle formation.

Flowing Water Battle Formation!

The marching speed of the Red Flower Camp accelerated suddenly.

Under the cooperation of the military strategy in the blade, a battle formation dharma image was formed again.

This time, the battle formation dharma image was like a long river, the river water surging, but it did not drown the soldiers; instead, it carried them, leading them to rush forward.

Although the General's mansion was lonely, it still had its foundation.

Such a battle formation transformation was also very rapid and natural, reflecting Mu Lan's leadership ability far exceeding her peers.

Zhang Zhongyi accompanied her, and after a long time, he stopped looking back and turned his head to look at Mu Lan: "General Mu, you did this..."

Zhang Zhongyi attached great importance to the two words of affection and righteousness. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have cared about the kindness of the old General Mu back then, voluntarily gave up his medical clinic, ignored the covetousness of a large number of forces for the General Mu's mansion, and voluntarily joined the army to help Mu Lan.

Therefore, Mu Lan's use of "Irreconcilable" to divert the disaster and let the Three General Camp bear a Yuan Ying enemy like Ma Feitui made Zhang Zhongyi feel unexpected and very uncomfortable.

Mu Lan had long expected Zhang Zhongyi's reaction, looking forward, with a calm expression, using spiritual sense to transmit: "Uncle Zhang, battlefield operations do not allow for any private feelings or benevolence."

"The White Jade Camp is in danger, but it is very important. If this army is destroyed, even if we win, it will be considered a disastrous defeat."

"Even if I participate in the great battle next, it will only be making up for my crimes with meritorious service, and the idea of revitalizing the General's mansion will become a joke!"

"I believe that if my father were here, he would do the same."

The implication was that the old General Mu was also such a "heartless" person.

Zhang Zhongyi was blocked, and he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Mu Lan continued to explain: "The Red Flower dharma image wraps Ma Feitui. According to my calculations, relying on the military strength of the Three General Camp, it can support for the time of an incense stick."

"This period of time, perhaps enough for us to help the White Jade Camp, and then come back to relieve the Three General Camp."

"And, I have already sent a flying letter, the letter contains all the information about Ma Feitui, to facilitate the people of the Three General Camp to fight."

Zhang Zhongyi felt a little better, but his face was still covered with sorrow: "The Three General Camp may be able to trap Ma Feitui for a while, but don't forget, besides Ma Feitui, there are still many Jin Dan cultivators such as Chen Lingfeng and Wu Hen."

"What if these people break the Red Cloud dharma image and release Ma Feitui, what should we do?"

Mu Lan had no expression: "Ma Feitui hates us extremely, and it is very likely that he will abandon the Three General Camp, catch up with us again, and find trouble for us."

"Of course, it is also possible that Ma Feitui is angry and slaughters the Three General Camp to vent his anger."

"But Uncle Zhang, this is the battlefield, this is the battlefield!"

"We are not the parents of the Three General Camp, and we do not guarantee their safety."

"What we must strive for is victory; only victory is our pursuit."

"Anyone who goes to the battlefield must have such awareness!"

Mu Lan's tone was like iron, cold and bloody.

"Sigh!" Zhang Zhongyi sighed again.

He couldn't help but look back again, but the Three General Camp was no longer in his field of vision.

"If Ning Zhuo dies because of this, it would be a pity."

For Ning Zhuo, although Zhang Zhongyi had not met him many times, he already had a considerable amount of love for talent.

Suddenly, his heart moved: "As the saying goes, fallen flowers have intentions, but flowing water is heartless. Perhaps, this is the correct interpretation of the prophecy poem?"

"If at the beginning, Ning Zhuo agreed to dual cultivate with Mu Lan, would there be a second possibility?"

Three General Camp. Watching the soldiers' movements become slow, the accumulation of fatigue increased rapidly, and some cultivators with injuries were already withered.

Liu Er felt anxious in his heart: "Second brother, third brother, military advisor, what should we do now?"

"This Red Flower dharma image falls on our heads, absorbing our military strength to maintain itself."

"It is very mysterious and can trap Yuan Ying level powerhouses!"

"But our army is not the Red Flower Camp, it has not been built for long, and it does not have a deep foundation. It can only support for a short period of time, and then the whole army will be exhausted and die of fatigue on the spot."

"Is it to fully support the Red Flower dharma image, try to delay time, and strive for friendly forces to return to rescue us."

"Or, take the risk to start a war, stop supporting the Red Flower dharma image, and fight with this Yuan Ying demon cultivator?"

Ning Zhuo remained silent.

Liu Er pointed at him directly: "Military advisor, please give me some advice!"

Since Ning Zhuo joined the army, he had performed repeatedly, making Liu Er's evaluation of him rise again and again. Especially this time, Ning Zhuo showed his edge, letting the latter see his Jin Dan level combat power.

Therefore, Liu Er treated Ning Zhuo equally, and even had respect.

The first question he asked was Ning Zhuo, showing his importance to the latter.

At the same time, his relationship with Generals Guan Hong and Zhang Hei was becoming closer, and he had confidence in his heart—these two sworn brothers could follow his lead!

Ning Zhuo thought for a while: "Taking the risk to start a war, our army's casualties will inevitably be heavy."

"The most critical problem is, according to the coordination of the four of us, is our combat power enough to deal with a Yuan Ying level opponent?"

Liu Er suddenly showed a look of embarrassment. Although he had a certain amount of confidence, he had no experience at all.

Such a large army operation, for him, was also the first time in his life.

Battlefield operations are different from fighting alone. There is a very obvious difference, which is that there are too many influencing factors.

Our side has the blessing of national power and military strength, while the opponent is a Yuan Ying level demon cultivator, with mysterious means, not yet fully investigated, and Chen Lingfeng, Wu Hen, and others are watching from the sidelines, ready to move.

These are all huge factors that can affect the direction and result of the battle.

Liu Er found it difficult to estimate.

Just then, Mu Lan's flying letter arrived.

Her way of passing it was very secret; I saw a red flower growing from the ground, then rapidly growing and blooming, revealing the jade slip in the heart of the flower.

The information was passed and browsed in the hands of the four people.

In the letter, Mu Lan explained in detail the various information about Ma Feitui, the content was a lot, and very detailed.

Ma Feitui knew the Red Flower Camp quite well, and conversely, Mu Lan also knew Ma Feitui quite well. The number of times the two sides dealt with each other was really too many.

After reading it, Liu Er's anger toward Mu Lan eased a lot: "General Mu Lan wants to rescue the White Jade Camp, this is the key to this ambush battle."

"According to this information, we have a certain grasp of dealing with him!"

Ning Zhuo browsed the information second, he expressed understanding of Mu Lan's actions, but did not forgive her.

Sharing the same thoughts as him were Generals Guan Hong and Zhang Hei.

Generals Guan Hong snorted coldly: "Mu Lan, as the daughter of the General, does not take us seriously. She just gave an order, not negotiating with us, not caring at all whether we are willing or not."

Zhang Hei shouted: "As Jin Dan cultivators, we Three General Camp are not under her command, but she treats us like this, it is truly hateful. In the future, we must give her some color to see!"

Ning Zhuo nodded: "The account between us and the Red Flower Camp will be settled later."

"If we want to abandon the Red Flower dharma image and start a war directly, then we should not delay!"

"The longer the time drags on, the more physical strength and magic power our soldiers will consume, and it will be difficult to have combat power to support us."

"Please make a decision quickly, General Liu!"

Liu Er scanned Ning Zhuo, seeing the encouraging gaze he contained, and looked at Generals Guan Hong who was stroking his beard and holding his head high, and Zhang Hei who was eager to move, and immediately smiled slightly: "What is there to hesitate about, start the war!"
