The Ultimate Fire Master of Avatar

Chapter 59 Arrival Situation Plan

The journey wasn't particularly long or short, but the process was quite unpleasant.

Although the Hundred Years' War led to rapid technological development in the Fire Nation, the vast majority of these technologies were applied only to the military, with little improvement in other areas.

The speed of the triangular bull is far inferior to that of a car, and it is not as comfortable as most modern means of transportation.

The scenery along the way was nothing special, but after passing through some small towns and villages, Kahn discovered that the impact of the war on the Fire Nation was not as small as he had imagined.

The first problem that is immediately noticeable is the gender ratio. Whether in towns or villages, women, children and the elderly make up the majority, while adult men are very few.

Secondly, there is a lack of resources. Apart from a few large towns, the poverty in most small towns and villages is readily apparent.

As for whether the people supported this protracted war, Kahn had not heard any discussions about it, but the current situation made it clear.

It is always the common people who suffer.

For some reason, this sentence suddenly popped into Kahn's mind.

Seeing these views and recalling his previous thoughts, he felt they seemed somewhat ridiculous.

The prosperity and peace he saw seemed to have never come to the people, but only to the narrow interests of the beneficiaries.

For ordinary people, a century of time has made them forget what peace looks like, which is why they can numbly endure it.

Lost in these wild thoughts, they arrived at the last stop in the Fire Kingdom, boarded a ship bound for the Earth Kingdom, and successfully arrived at the Earth Kingdom's military camp.

Looking at the map, the country that originally had the largest territory was the Earth Power, but since being invaded by the Fire Blaze, nearly half of its territory has been occupied by the Fire Blaze.

Even so, one must be extra careful here, because one never knows when or where one might encounter enemy troops, especially the Earth Guardians.

In a sense, the Earth Master can indeed be considered the natural enemy of the Fire Master.

However, their journey went smoothly, and they arrived safely at their destination—a frontline military camp.

After resting for a night, the camp's commander, Benson, reported the current situation to Azura the next day.

The rebels they needed to eliminate this time were originally subordinate units of their own army, and were only assigned to them after Ao Zai took power.

This time, they received a mission to attack a small city in the nearest powerful country, and the defector team was assigned to the front line of the attack.

The outcome became clear.

Although the rebels initially escaped successfully, some clues about their whereabouts were later discovered. Kahn and Azura's mission this time was to find the rebels and eliminate them.

"Our teams have blocked most of the exits, making it difficult for them to escape, but the terrain in the remaining areas is mostly complex, treacherous, and extremely dangerous, making it very difficult for the search forces to advance."

Inside the military camp tent, Benson, who was originally in charge of this operation, explained their current progress and problems one by one according to the military map, and marked out several areas of different sizes.

According to him, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the rebels are hiding in these areas.

However, these rebels had fought alongside Airo in the Turkic Kingdom for many years, and their familiarity with the terrain far surpassed that of the rebels. So, although they had set up a trap, they were still helpless.

"In addition, the rebels are not to be underestimated, but since His Highness Azura has led his troops to their aid, they are probably not a cause for concern."

"Okay, good job. Let's keep at this pace."

After listening to Benson's report and the final little compliment, Azura remained noncommittal, simply stating that she had no intention of making any changes to the original plan.

Kahn stood quietly behind Azura, like her protector, without uttering any words.

He has no right to speak here; if he opens his mouth, he's wrong, just like Zu Kou.

"yes!"

Benson accepted the order and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that Azura hadn't given any bad advice.

Although Azura's power and status were far greater than his, even vastly different, in his eyes, Azura was no different from the children of other high-ranking officials and nobles, and was only sent here to simply enhance his resume.

What use could a princess who is only ten years old and knows nothing about the world, plus a slightly older boy, possibly be?

In other words, the role of the Imperial Guards who came with them was truly effective, greatly increasing their combat power.

This reinforcement appears to be a noble princess and her confidantes leading the royal guards, but it's more accurate to say that the powerful royal guards are bringing two hindrances to provide support.

Although their advance is slow, it is very steady. In addition, they have strong logistical support. Even if they are dragged out, they can wear down the rebels. This mission is already a done deal.

With the addition of the Imperial Guard, we can now rest easy.

Next, Azura and Kahn began to wander around the camp under the watchful eyes of several guards, as if they were really on a picnic.

The soldiers in the camp also looked at these important figures with curiosity, whispering and discussing among themselves.

Benson didn't care about this and instead chatted familiarly with the captain of the Imperial Guard.

This is not only a major asset to their operation, but if they make good connections, it might even develop into a valuable personal relationship.

Military officers are also officials, and they also understand that officialdom is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and social interactions.

Because of Azura and Kahn's special status, their resting tents were separate and not easily disturbed. However, Azura's tent was guarded by royal guards at night, which was quite prestigious.

After dinner, Azura ordered the guards to wait outside the tent before entering Kahn's tent.

Kahn was holding a military map in the tent. It wasn't the one Benson had, but the situation and boundaries he had described during the day were copied onto it.

Kahn asked Azura:

Where do you think they might be hiding?

"Hmm, it's probably in one of these locations."

Azura casually tapped a few times on the map, eliminating many of the suspicious areas circled by Benson.

This was certainly not a random guess, but a simple deduction based on the intelligence reported by Benson, although in Kahn's view it seemed no different from a random guess.

He simply doesn't have the talent for this; all he can do regarding Azura's abilities is marvel at her skills and maintain his trust.

After eliminating some unnecessary options, it was his turn to appear.

With Azura watching over him, he sat cross-legged with peace of mind and entered a meditative state.

Immediately afterwards, his soul left his body.

I revised the previous chapter and set the location in Turkey.
