Chapter 175: 175 Launching the Attack

Qiaofuli's injuries were severe; even after consuming five Healing Spell Scrolls, he still had not fully recovered.

Fortunately, Luoning had brought him out of the prison, and with the auxiliary treatment of nutritious food and medicine at Wushan Castle, relying on his recovery ability as an Advanced Knight, he should be able to stand in three to five days.

"Grandfather, you called for me."

Led by Moste, Luoning arrived at the back courtyard of Wushan Castle.

At this moment, Lulansi was conversing with his good friend Milosilafu; seeing Luoning enter, the two smiled slightly and ceased their discussion.

"Greetings, Dean!"

Luoning bowed respectfully and greeted him, "Thank you for your gift last night."

Among the rewards yesterday, this old gentleman had given a full 450 gold coins.

"Just a small trinket, no need to thank me."

Milosilafu looked at Luoning with great satisfaction, "Your performance was excellent; Lulansi finally doesn't have to complain to me anymore about not having an outstanding descendant."

"You flatter me," Luoning said modestly.

"I heard from the report by Jishu He'er in Muma City that you have a Light Attribute Mage among your subordinates. How is this person's strength and talent?"

Jishu He'er was the manager of the Silva Magic Energy Chamber of Commerce's branch in Muma City;

Milosilafu was the manager of the Silva Magic Energy Chamber of Commerce in Wushan Territory and one of the Chamber's vice-presidents. In terms of position, Jishu belonged to a lower rank and naturally had to report to his superior.

"Aierlong only recently had the good fortune to break through and become an Advanced Mage; his cultivation talent should be quite good."

Aierlong looked to be only in his twenties and had the aptitude to become a Level 7 Great Magus; his cultivation talent was indeed quite good.

Milosilafu nodded slowly, sighed, and wore a worried expression: "Still a bit lacking."

Lulansi, however, smiled easily, "Light Attribute Mages are rare to begin with. He already has Advanced strength, which is already very good; you don't need to expect too much."

Luoning was somewhat surprised; these two seemed to be speaking in riddles?

However, Lulansi did not explain; he casually tossed over a Spell Scroll, "This is a Spell Scroll I just bought from the Dean; keep it for self-defense."

Luoning's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly opened it to look; it was actually another Fire Dragon Swallowing Heaven Spell Scroll.

He had consumed the previous one while confronting the Golden Grade assassin; he hadn't expected Lulansi to have prepared a second one so quickly.

"Many thanks, Grandfather; many thanks, Dean!"

"Just thank me; why thank him?"

Lulansi scolded with a laugh: "This thing was bought by your grandfather here for over a thousand gold coins."

"You old thing, others have to pay at least two thousand gold coins to buy this; I only charged you twelve hundred. Giving you such a big discount, and you won't even let your grandson thank me?"

It was evident that the relationship between the two was indeed quite good, and Lulansi's mood seemed much better than usual.

After the two bantered for a few moments, Lulansi restrained his smile and said to Luoning:

"Tolu has already collected all the evidence mentioned by Baron Leisen's subordinates. This afternoon, I will hold a meeting at Wushan Fortress to formally pass judgment on Leisen and, at the same time, confer your title."

Luoning felt secretly excited; finally, the matter he had been looking forward to was steadily advancing, with only the final step remaining.

His status as a Baron was about to become a thing of the past; soon, he would be the Viscount of Wubei Territory.

"Many thanks, Grandfather!" Luoning stood up and bowed.

Lulansi waved his hand, "Go and notify the other nobles about the meeting."

"Yes!"

Luoning exited Lulansi's study and conveyed the news to all the nobles still remaining at Wushan Castle; he believed that this afternoon at Wushan Fortress would see another grand event.

Meanwhile, at Huitu Village.

Ruidar had already finished counting his troops; according to the established plan, today he would lead the team to launch an attack on the Heiling Tribe.

His gaze swept over knights like Aierlong, Huoen, Jennie, and Babulin, then fell upon the twenty-plus cavalrymen, dozens of guards, and archers in the rear.

After this period of training and the influence of the year-end competition, the spirit and morale of this group now looked very good.

"Brothers, over these days, we have witnessed Lord Luoning's power, wisdom, generosity, and benevolence. Under his leadership, our lives are becoming better and better."

Ruidar began his pre-battle mobilization, "But the weak, foolish, stingy, and cruel Baron Leisen has always wanted to defeat Lord Luoning, plotting to occupy this land and enslave us!"

During these days, both Ruidar and Aierlong had been conveying the ambitions and intentions of the Heiling Tribe to those below, having long since shaped the image of the enemy.

"Do you want your current life to be broken?" he asked loudly.

"No!"

Everyone responded in unison, and some had even shouted slogans to overthrow Leisen.

The improvement in the living standards of ordinary people in the territory might not have been obvious, but these guards had truly felt Luoning's benevolence and generosity; their lives were much better than before.

At the very least, in these recent days, they could drink meat broth every day and even frequently eat meat.

They truly did not want such a life to be broken.

"Good!"

Ruidar said loudly: "Now Lord Luoning is confronting Baron Leisen at Wushan Castle, and we will launch an attack on the Heiling Tribe!"

The will to fight was gradually ignited, and everyone's fear of war gradually diminished.

Led by the knights and the head guards, everyone displayed a momentum of charging forward, unstoppable.

However, Ruidar knew that momentum was one thing, but the actual combat level still depended on the practical results.

To reduce casualties and lower the difficulty, he had already prepared a plan.

"Babulin, today you take Qiaozhi, Tuomashi, Jisili, and ten cavalrymen to charge at the Heiling Tribe. When they come out, you immediately turn around and return, understand?"

"Understood!"

Babulin said loudly; in these days, they had become very proficient at this kind of trick.

Every time Feilidun sent people out to drive them away, they would turn and flee.

At first, the other side was still very angry, but later, perhaps because they played it too often, the other side didn't even seem to have much enthusiasm for driving them away.

"Huoen, you take Wodun, Zhuweite, Ximu, and ten cavalrymen, and when the other side chases to the boundary, you actively charge out. Don't be too fast; you must give the other side time to return."

"After the other party returns, the two of you merge, then go and provoke them again. No matter if you use insults or any other means, do your utmost to stir up their anger, but do not get bogged down in fighting; retreat the moment there is any movement."

"The rest of you come with me to lie in ambush on the mountain."

Ruidar did this with the goal of making Feilidun send out more Knights and cavalry to break away from the defensive fortifications of the Heiling Tribe.

Fighting in the wilderness, their odds of victory were relatively higher.

Once victory was achieved in the wilderness, the Heiling Tribe, having lost this batch of Knights and cavalry, would be easier to take.

After the tasks were assigned, Babulin's first team was the first to leave, Huoen's second team followed closely behind, and Ruidar, taking Aierlong, the Magician Jennie, as well as the Guards and Archers, walked at the very end.

Once Babulin and the others attracted the attention of the sentries at the boundary, they would then use the cover of the woodland to lie in ambush on a nearby mountain.

"Ruidar, I don't know if this method of yours will be effective?" Aierlong said.

"From our contact these past few days, I have discovered that Feilidun is not a very patient or cautious person. If we provoke him a few more times today, he might fall for it."

Ruidar's gaze was firm, "But regardless of whether it is effective or not, the Heiling Tribe must be taken; this is the trust the Lord has placed in us!"

"That goes without saying!"

Aierlong nodded solemnly: "We will not let down the Lord's trust."
