Chapter 401: Battle Plan

Brilliant light illuminated the entire room. Bathed in the golden radiance, Milosilafu felt his entire body at ease; the fatigue of recent days melted away like winter snow meeting the sun.

"I have heard of the capabilities of the Greater Healing Spell; it can even make wounds heal when limbs have been severed. But I did not expect it to have such extraordinary effects on internal injuries!"

Milosilafu smiled and sat up. "Luoning, thank you very much this time!"

"You have taken great care of my grandfather over these years; you need not be so polite over such a small matter."

An ordinary Greater Healing Spell has limited effect on internal injuries, but Aierlong is now a Magus, so the magic he casts has an amplification, and the Spell Scrolls he produces are the same. That is why it was effective when the old dean used it.

Milosilafu stood up and stretched his limbs. Aside from some weakness due to excessive blood loss, the pain was gone.

"Lulansi, sometimes I truly envy you for having such an outstanding grandson."

The old man to the side stroked his beard and smiled slightly. "How about you have your son give birth to another?"

Instantly, a burst of cheerful laughter erupted in the room.

After the laughter, there was a brief silence.

Lulansi said, "Yesterday, I had Aosen's grandson, Tuomulisi, return to Heimang Castle to deliver a letter to Aosen. Up until now, there has been no response from Heimang City. It seems Aosen has already prepared for war and has no intention of negotiating."

Tuomulisi is studying at the Wushan Extraordinary Academy; Lulansi did not imprison him but let him go back directly.

It is not that Lulansi is merciful; it is just that to him, an underage child is not worth his attention, and he disdains using the other party as a hostage.

"You do not need to give him another chance."

Now, whenever Heimang City is mentioned, Milosilafu's mood becomes very poor. "You and I both know Aosen's character; he is the type of person who dares to do anything when he goes mad. Now that I have luckily survived, he knows that what awaits him will be the stripping of his title and territory. Rather than being captured without a fight, he would rather struggle and gamble that you cannot do anything to him."

Lulansi nodded slightly; Aosen is indeed that kind of person.

However, Milosilafu was wrong about one thing: Lulansi never thought of giving Aosen a chance. In his view, if the other party suddenly knelt down to admit his mistake, it would be a disservice to the massive formation he had set up.

"Tolu's First Knight Order is expected to arrive at Wushan Town in about ten days. Sanduoluo's Fourth Knight Order has a longer journey, and with the addition of Cuican City where I arranged for him to go, it is estimated it will take more than half a month to be in position."

Lulansi asked, "What about your side's team? How many people is the Chamber of Commerce planning to dispatch this time?"

"Most of the Wushan Territory Silva Magic Energy Chamber of Commerce's forces will participate in this war. Preliminary estimates: one Magus, six Great Mages and Chief Mages; besides that, the number of knights and cavalry exceeds two hundred."

Milosilafu said, "I have no infantry here, so the travel is relatively fast. It is estimated that everything can be assembled in about ten days."

His team is not large, but they are top-tier combatants, especially with a high number of high-level Magicians.

With this group of Magicians, no matter how sturdy Heimang Castle is or how thick the city walls are, they can blast a breach with a pile of magic.

"Then, according to this timeline, we expect to enter the Haide Bojueling around April 20th."

As Lulansi spoke, he looked at Luoning. "Luoning, when the time comes, once the teams of Mawen, Weituolinuo, and the others arrive, you lead them to Cuican City to rendezvous with Kabier's team. Although that is not the main attack, there is currently a lack of experts there."

Milosilafu looked at Luoning with some suspicion, thinking to himself: Could this kid's strength be even greater than Kabier's?

He did not yet know Luoning's specific situation.

"Grandfather, wasn't it said before that we would temporarily not issue a mobilization order?"

Luoning was somewhat surprised. "Why are Mawen and Weituolinuo and the others participating too?"

Regarding this, Lulansi could only say helplessly, "They knew I had recovered and insisted on participating; there was nothing I could do."

Luoning realized.

Perhaps to other nobles, now that Lulansi has recovered, the victory of this war will belong solely to Wushan Castle.

To pass up an easy military merit would be too much of a wasted opportunity.

Just like that, the general arrangements were settled; what followed was waiting for the troops to assemble and get to work.

Jinyu Palace.

His Majesty Auduin V, Bruno, read the letter in his hand, his brows locked in a frown.

He did not expect that Wushan Territory would suddenly stage such a farce. Aosen actually dared to openly attack Milosilafu, such an important noble. Was there some conspiracy behind this?

"Meier, if I remember correctly, this Border Count Aosen of Wushan Territory seems to have a relatively close relationship with the Vila Principality, right?"

Bruno asked his intelligence officer, Meier.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Meier bowed and replied, "If Aosen hadn't lost a bet after failing a sparring match with Lulansi back then, he probably would have become a follower of Andeliya."

"Then tell me, is there a shadow of Andeliya behind Aosen's action this time?"

Meier concentrated and pondered, then shook his head slightly after Along while. "This possibility should not be high. Aosen assassinating Milosilafu is a grave crime. Even if Andeliya wanted to create some chaos, he would not make the Haide Family pay such a heavy price."

Bruno rubbed his brow. As the decennial Founding Festival approached, he was always worried that someone would cause some destruction, which was why he linked Aosen and Andeliya together.

"What you say makes sense, but regardless of the specific situation, as an Honorary Viscount of the Kingdom, Milosilafu was assassinated and nearly died. As the King, I must pay attention to this matter."

He thought for a moment and said, "Buluoer, you are more familiar with Wushan Territory; this matter still requires you to make a trip, and take a few Griffin Knights with you."

"As you wish, Your Majesty!"

Bruno thought for a moment and instructed, "Remember to help me tell Lulansi and Luoning: no matter when the dispute in Wushan Territory ends, Luoning must come to Jinyu City before June 14th."

If Luoning is not there that day, the news of the marriage alliance cannot be announced.

This is not a good thing for the Royal Family; there might even be rumors that the Princess's marriage alliance has fallen through again.

Bruno did not want to encounter such troublesome matters that could have been avoided during the days of the festival.

Meanwhile, at Beiluola in Shuijing City.

During his rest time after finishing the production of Magic Potions, his grandson Landeer brought Milosilafu's letter.

Originally, he did not want to interfere in such matters, but upon hearing it was about Wushan Territory and thinking it might be related to Luoning, he asked a couple of questions.

"You did the right thing, Landeer. Even the vice-president of the Chamber of Commerce has been assassinated; this matter must make our stance clear and show our strength!"

Landeer felt wonderful inside; it had been Along time since he had received affirmation from his grandfather.

Beiluola thought for a moment and added, "Go and write a letter for me to Dao'en in Jinyu City, and have him represent me in going to Wushan Town to assist Milosilafu in seeking revenge."

Dao'en Bokesi is the person in charge of the Silva Magic Energy Chamber of Commerce in Jinyu City. Like Milosilafu, he is a Great Magus and one of the vice-presidents of the Chamber of Commerce.

Landeer was startled. "Grandfather, is that necessary? We have quite a few people in Wushan Territory, not to mention the several major Knight Orders of Wushan Castle and Milosilafu. For a Count, it should be more than enough."

"We must make our stance clear!"

Beiluola's expression was solemn, "We must tell outsiders that assassinating the Vice President of our Magic Chamber of Commerce requires paying a price!"

He thought to himself: With the favor of this support, the quantity of Dragon Scale obtained from Luoning next time should be a bit more, right? (End of chapter)
