Chapter 511: Chapter 510: A Fine Catch in the Jar_1
“In war, one must consider the timing, location, and advantages.”
Lin Qingluo’s eyes sparkled as she took out the Chronicles of the Seven Kingdoms, flipped to the topography of the Northern Territory Mountain Range, and pointed at the Tiger’s Mouth.
“Brother, look. Not far ahead of the Tiger’s Mouth is a long and narrow valley about two kilometers long, with cliffs on both sides. We can set up an ambush here and achieve twice the results with half the effort.”
“Great strategy for trapping our enemies!”
Lin Jinxu, undoubtedly a member of the Lin Clan, had studied military strategies since he was young and immediately understood his sister’s plan.
“With ten thousand enemy soldiers marching quickly into the valley, it will take less than half an incense stick’s time to set up an ambush here. Once the enemy has entered the valley, we can block both ends of the pass with huge rocks and trees, pour oil on the pass and trap them inside.”
“It’s almost daylight, let’s hurry.”
Lin Qingluo’s mind was sharp and careful: “Once the sky is completely bright, they will be able to see the beacon fire and the Wolf’s smoke from the bottom of the cliff, and notice the abnormalities on the top of the cliff. When they react and try to retreat, it will be too late to intercept them.”
“I’ll find Brother Meng and tell them to speed up. Destroying just a few Black Wolf Guards means nothing; the feast is yet to come!”
Shitou’s eyes lit up, his brain excited as he darted away.
“Master, I can help chop down trees and crumble stones too.”
Mo Canglan had been listening to their conversations and, hearing the key points, wanted to contribute as well, secretly scheming in his heart.
“Sister, I’ll go too.”
The Little Prince raised his head, his big teary eyes full of hope as he looked at his sister.
“You two stay here and treat the wounded soldiers.”
Lin Qingluo shook her head sadly, with no hesitation, her decision was final.
“Master.”
“Sister.”
Both young men, big and small, had a momentary darkening in their eyes and wanted to try again.
Lin Qingluo’s pretty face darkened, a stern tone in her voice: “The injured soldiers need treatment.”
“Alright, I’ll stay.”
Mo Canglan immediately relented, not daring to meet Little Master’s gaze.
“Sister is leaving me behind again.”
The Little Prince looked sadly at his sister, tears starting to fall again.
“Xuan’er, be good and listen.”
Lin Qingluo’s eyes flickered, her dominating aura faded as she revealed a touch of gentleness, “With Brother Lan and you staying in the fortress, my mind will be at ease while we hold back the enemy at the pass.”
“Sister is injured too, she’s also a wounded person.”
The Little Prince’s tears fell heavily, his voice choked, “Why is Sister always like this, never caring for herself, only caring for others?”
“Xuan’er, my wound is fine.”
Lin Qingluo’s heart softened at once, and her tone softened as well. She reached out her hand, gently using a handkerchief to wipe the Little Prince’s tears.
“Little sister, let Jinlong and Jinyun lead the uninjured soldiers.”
Lin Jinxu’s eyes dimmed, looking at his sister’s slightly pale face, full of worry and affection, “You should stay here and wait for their good news.”
“No.”
Lin Qingluo’s eyes darkened, shaking her head decisively: “Timing is fleeting. If we don’t significantly damage the enemy this time, there won’t be another good opportunity like this.”
“Your wound?”
Lin Jinxu still worried.
Lin Qingluo looked calm: “My wound is fine, the Spirit Pill I took has already made it much better.”
“Master, we’re back.”
Shitou returned quickly, followed by some of his comrades.
Little Kingfisher was indeed a competent helper for her master. In just the time it took for an incense stick to burn, she had led four young men to eliminate all the Black Wolf Guards hiding in the darkness.
With the hidden threats eliminated, it was time to set the ambush and launch a proactive attack.
