Chapter 1171: Weak Defense Point
Isn’t this like chasing the trivial and neglecting the essentials, going south when intending to go north?
However, despite the captain saying such things, they dared not object.
One bold Nalan Clan member voiced his concern, “Captain, have you ever considered that although this forest isn’t big, it is on the way to the Ning Family villa, with several hundred trees. With a hundred of us cutting trees, when will we ever finish? If we miss the timing, we’ll all be blamed by our Ninth Aunt, and none of us can bear that responsibility.”
“Cut the crap.” Nalan Xiaotian, having made up his mind, waved his hand decisively, “Just do it. If you’re not afraid to die, you can try scouting ahead.”
Damn.
Upon hearing this, everyone turned pale and accepted the order.
Judging by the previous screams and the absence of the three scouts previously sent out, they could tell those scouts were probably dead.
If we don’t follow orders and the captain sends us to scout, wouldn’t that be a death sentence?
Given that, why argue with him? Just obey, and when the sky falls, let someone bigger handle it.
Thus, a strange scene unfolded.
While attacks and defenses were occurring at every corner around the Ning Family villa, Nalan Xiaotian’s hundred-man squad was busy cutting trees, which seemed quite bizarre.
The Drone deployed by the Ning Family, spotting this unusual scene from high up, immediately transmitted the data back to the temporary command post.
Ouyang Feifei and Manager Zhang had mixed expressions, twitching at the corners of their mouths.
Suddenly they couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter.
As they laughed, Ouyang Feifei steadied her expression and seriously said, “In such intense conflict, for Nalan Xiaotian to lead his team out of the Soul Confusing Formation shows that he has skills.
But why use such a clumsy method to clear a path? By the time they finish cutting down the small forest, the sky would probably be dark.”
“Regardless, although it takes longer, their approach is minimizing casualties, preserving strength for the final victory.”
“Indeed, although young, he acts quite composed, undoubtedly a formidable opponent if this continues.”
Ouyang Feifei waved her hand, “Let’s not worry about them for now, check if there’re anomalies at other locations.”
“There really are…”
A Shadow Team member, pointing at a screen, reported, “To the southeast of the Ning Family villa, a hundred-man squad led by Nalan Wuchang is fighting. As this area offers no strategic advantage, Ning Family has resorted to head-on clashes to stop them. After several rounds of seesaw battles, the assaulting and defending sides have suffered heavy casualties, and personnel there are dwindling, dangerously close to peril.”
“Oh?”
Ouyang Feifei furrowed her brows, contemplating deeply before commanding, “Where is the Shadow Team?”
“Leader, we are all here.”
Both inside and outside the room, Shadow Team members stood up, saluting Ouyang Feifei, awaiting orders, carrying a hint of excitement.
With a wry smile, Ouyang Feifei quipped, “I should’ve known that mentioning a fight would make you all happier than seeing your own fathers.”
Then, shifting the tone, her face turned serious, “If no breakthroughs occur elsewhere, the assault point led by Nalan Wuchang will become the sole breakthrough point. Hence, they might gather forces there and focus their efforts in that area.
So… head to that location, ready as emergency members. If the Nalan Clan gains the upper hand, suppress them. If the Ning Family does, muddy the waters in Nalan’s camp and try to eliminate their leaders. Got it?”
“Understood!”
The Shadow Team members looked solemn, feeling unprecedented pressure from Ouyang Feifei’s concise and soft words.
After all, if the entire Nalan clan assembles there with concentrated strength, intending to breach a point, and the Ning Family can’t hold, the Shadow Team would have to step in.
The pressure they’ll face can only be imagined.
However, they accepted the order, speaking with confidence.
“Rest assured leader, when the Shadow Team moves, we’re a presence that competes one against ten, one against one hundred. We won’t fear those Nalan bastards!”
“Yeah, if they dare advance further, I’ll lop off their heads and use them as balls!”
Ouyang Feifei didn’t quash their enthusiasm, merely waved encouragingly, “Go, be careful.”
“Yes, leader.”
In a split second, the Shadow Team vanished without a trace, as if they had never appeared.
Manager Zhang curiously murmured, “Who’d knew Mr. Ning had such skilled individuals protecting him, they’re all killing gods.”
“Hehe.”
Ouyang Feifei smiled without responding.
Through the drone footage, she watched that site of the battle.
At the moment.
Both Ning Family members and Nalan clan folks battled bravely, seeming to have encountered their mortal enemies.
Due to the presence of experts like Nalan Jiuhuang, the Nalan clan’s younger generation had high martial cultivation realms.
The Ning Family’s foundation was equally profound, with Ning Qiankun not only encouraging clan members to practice martial arts to stay fit but also employing Jianghu experts to address crises.
These Jianghu experts, lured by high commissions, were eager to serve and over time considered themselves part of the Ning Family, sharing in its honor and disgrace.
With the aggressive onset of the Nalan Clan, not only were Ning Family members indignant, but Ning Family’s hired Jianghu experts were extremely dissatisfied, killing Nalan clan members without mercy.
Splat…
A Jianghu expert swung his blade, sending a Nalan clan member’s head flying.
The Nalan clan member felt himself being lifted, looking down at the battlefield from the air, sensing the scenery growing darker and blurrier, until it went black, leaving this world.
Of course, this was just a glimpse of the battle scene.
The hundred-man team attacking from this direction was led by Nalan Wuchang, equally ruthless, not blinking an eye when killing.
During their mutual assault and heavy casualties on both sides.
A Nalan clan intelligence officer rushed over from afar, reporting, “Fifth Master, Third Master Nalan Wuwei’s unit was completely annihilated, and he was severely wounded and retreated.”
“What?”
While slaying enemies, Nalan Wuchang couldn’t believe his ears, put on a feint and exited the battle, standing on the outskirts, perplexed, “Although my third brother attacked a terrain easy to defend and hard to conquer, should it really have ended in complete annihilation?”
