Chapter 2005: Chapter 2009: Personally Campaigning Against the Southern Barbarians!

"Heading for the Southern Barbarians?"

After hearing Qin Tian’s words, Xiao Zhuang and Zhou Yang were immediately stunned.

Qin Tian had just returned from the Demon Clan, and now he wanted to lead a campaign against the Southern Barbarians?

"Boss, although the Southern Barbarians are weak nationally, their overall military strength is still in the hundreds of thousands. How can we contend with them?"

Xiao Zhuang was puzzled and said, "The Barbarian King is acting merely for a small profit. I suspect the Imperial City must have given him some benefits, hence the troop increase."

"It’s not worth fighting with such self-serving individuals. Our primary concern should be fighting the Imperial City, where the situation is currently evenly matched. If we provoke the Barbarian Clan, and really upset them, we’ll be facing enemies from both sides, and we won’t be able to manage it!"

Zhou Yang nodded, "Boss, even if we dispatch twenty thousand troops and summon forty thousand from the Demon Clan, it’ll only be sixty thousand against the Barbarian King’s invasion force of two hundred thousand. Let alone going on the offensive. Moreover, if word gets out, and the Barbarian Clan learns about it, they’ll surely be enraged. Then, they’ll stick to us like glue, adding another formidable enemy. It’s not worth it."

"I understand what you’re saying, but I can’t tolerate the Barbarian Clan’s opportunistic, money-grabbing behavior. Forget the long-term, right now, with the Demon Clan redirecting troops to resolve internal conflicts, and the Barbarian Clan numbering twenty thousand, what do you suggest we do?"

Qin Tian questioned the two. They exchanged glances, seemingly having no other options.

"So, what do you say, do we have any other alternatives?"

Qin Tian continued, "The Imperial City currently has over fifty thousand troops, even if they mobilize fully, add the Demon Clan’s forces, it’ll be only eighty thousand. In terms of strength, we’re certainly outmatched. The key is how to fight. And more crucially, who will lead the troops?"

Qin Tian looked at the two, "Given the circumstances, West Capital City needs you. To truly lead the troops and hold back the Barbarian Clan, achieving victory with fewer resources, I think I am the most suitable. Although I’m not fully confident, I’ve achieved many victories with few resources while in East State. This is the only feasible solution. What do you think?"

Qin Tian’s words were extremely convincing, leaving Zhou Yang and Xiao Zhuang without objection.

In reality, that’s precisely the case.

It’s true that no one else has the ability to handle twenty thousand troops against sixty thousand. Only Qin Tian has the chance to perform a miracle!

"Currently, all the generals have gathered at Yueya City to engage with the Imperial Capital Army. Boss, if someone is to withstand twenty thousand Barbarian troops, I believe you are the only one who can. I support you," Xiao Zhuang said.

Zhou Yang added, "I also have no objections. My only concern is, boss, is sixty thousand enough? Old Fourth and the Qin Family Army, you must take them, right? They are a fresh, battle-ready force."

Qin Tian hesitated for a moment, "If I take everyone with me, and something happens in West Capital, we’re doomed. I’ll take one thousand Qin Family Army and thirty thousand troops, leaving Old Fourth in West Capital. Otherwise, without a powerful presence in West Capital City, if the Imperial City dispatches top-tier assassins, we’ll be undermined."

"Alright. I’ll go arrange everything now."

Zhou Yang promptly started to mobilize the troops.

Qin Tian began studying the map of the borders between West State, Barbarian Clan, and Demon Clan for the impending battle, aiming to gain total situational awareness.

"Qin Tian, what are you up to? I’ve toured the entire West Capital City. Is there anything fun?"

While Qin Tian was contemplating strategies, Chen Jingsi leisurely walked in, making Qin Tian feel overwhelmed.

"I’m busy with important matters, pretty lady, go have fun on your own. If you run out of money, let me know."

At this moment, Qin Tian wasn’t in the mood to chat with Chen Jingsi.

Just then, Zhou Yang walked in and said, "Boss, everything is arranged. In half a day, the elite forces of thirty thousand troops and the Qin Family Army will assemble. We’ll be ready to depart."

"Depart? Where are you going?"

Chen Jingsi asked Qin Tian.

"I’m going out to fight. It’s chaotic outside. Stay safe at West Capital, don’t wander around," Qin Tian replied.

"Fighting sounds fun, I want to go, I want to go."

Chen Jingsi seemed excited about the idea of fighting.

Qin Tian and Zhou Yang exchanged looks of helplessness.

Chen Jingsi had been in West Capital for over a month, and everyone knew she had a knack for causing a stir.

"You can’t go. It’s dangerous, and people can die."

Qin Tian stood up, instructed Zhou Yang, "Depart tomorrow morning, get the troops ready."

...

Early the next morning, all forces assembled. Qin Tian didn’t even deliver a speech, directly leading the troops towards the Nanshui City at the forefront of the Barbarian Clan battleground.

At Nanshui City, thirty thousand Demon Clan troops were waiting, with Liu Fei’er having ordered them to follow Qin Tian’s command.

After a day’s march, Qin Tian, anxious about a potential surprise attack on Nanshui City from the Barbarian Clan, ordered the troops to accelerate their pace.

"Hehe, I think it’s pretty fun, why aren’t you taking me?"

Suddenly, beside Qin Tian, a soldier spoke to him.

Qin Tian heard the voice and felt his skin crawl. He looked down and indeed, Chen Jingsi had disguised herself as a soldier and snuck along!

"Ah, you’re something else... Pretty lady, hurry back, I told you, fighting is no joke!"

Now feeling a bit troubled, Qin Tian had promised the master to look after Chen Jingsi, but she had followed them over a hundred kilometers. What to do?

"Hear me out, head back right away. I’ll assign two people to escort you," Qin Tian told Chen Jingsi.

But Chen Jingsi pouted and said, "No, I won’t! If you send them to escort me, I’ll escape. See if they can manage to keep me, I don’t want to stay in West Capital. It’s not fun at all!"

"Sss~"

As Chen Jingsi spoke, Qin Tian indeed felt some concern.

The Qin Family Army knew Chen Jingsi was his friend. If they were assigned to escort her back, with her cleverness, the Qin Family Army would certainly be worn out.

However, with half the march complete, Qin Tian couldn’t personally escort Chen Jingsi back, so he said helplessly, "Alright, you can come with me, but stay close, don’t wander off, understand? When the fighting starts, lives are at risk."

"I know, I can use spells! Hmph, average people can’t hurt me," Chen Jingsi said proudly.

Qin Tian could only scratch his head and continue with the march. A day later, they arrived at Nanshui City, joining forces with the Demon Clan army.

"Where is the Barbarian Clan’s forward group stationed?" Qin Tian asked the Demon Clan leader.

The Demon Clan leader replied, "They are stationed fifty kilometers away at Dashicheng, have been there for three days without any movement."

"I bet they’ll attempt a surprise attack tonight,"

Suddenly, Chen Jingsi jumped out from the side, laughing as she spoke.
