Bengtie: A Genius's Out-of-the-Domain Idea

Yanqing looked over and saw that the 'kitten's' paws were stained with ink, and there was an ink bottle on the ground. He patted his chest and said, "So it's Fu Bai (a type of Chinese ink painting)."

Floating White—one of the diplomatic gifts sent by Dongfang Qiqing in the name of "Shenxiao Space City" some time ago. Jing Yuan didn't look at the gift list and, just like the previous times he kept lions, thought it was a cat.

Jing Yuan stepped forward, picked up the 'little cat' by the scruff of its neck, and shook it slightly: "You little rascal, you've caused a huge disaster, ruined the memorials, and frightened Yan Qing. Tell me, how should I punish you?"

The cat tilted its head: "Woof~ Awooo~"

Jing Yuan angrily rubbed the cat's head, finding it very stress-relieving and soothing: "You're quite fierce~ Fine, I'll let you off this time since it's your first offense." Jing Yuan put the little white lion back in its den.

"The unique puppet gifted by Mr. Lin Yi is truly miraculous; this body far surpasses the miraculous method of the Ten Kings' Resurrection."

"Please forgive Jing Yuan for any slight delay in the conversion between the experimental subject and the puppet just now."

Although Dan Heng was quite curious about these so-called puppets, he figured they were probably similar to the things Lin Yi had placed at each station the train crew had entrusted to him.

Dan Heng: "We were rushed here in a hurry while we were in the space city, and we didn't even have time to find out the details."

"Just now Yanqing said that the situation has changed, but I haven't clarified what the change is."

"Now I hope General Jingyuan can enlighten me: how exactly can I help? And what dangers lie ahead at Luofu?"

Jing Yuan: "Dan Heng, and Miss Zhu Xing, it's hard to explain in a few words, let's sit down first~ Yan Qing, please buy some wine."

Zhu Xing stretched out his hand: "I don't drink alcohol, just a bowl of hot goat milk will do."

Yanqing returned shortly with a jar of wine, showing that he had come prepared.

This jar of wine was buried by Danfeng when the Five Heroes of Yunshang gathered to celebrate their achievements.

That day, Yingxing complained that the wine wasn't strong enough, so Danfeng brewed three jars of wine using ancient methods and buried them, promising that everyone would gather again to drink together on the next day of their meritorious service.

Unfortunately, not long after that, chaos erupted, and then the Five Heroes of the Clouds fell apart...

Jing Yuan looked somewhat wistful: "This was brewed by Danfeng in the past. We made a promise that we would drink it together in the future. I know you are not him, but please drink this cup to the brim, as a way of fulfilling my wish."

Dan Heng hesitated slightly but still drank it. The strong liquor was a bit choking, but the Lin Yuan coral and the other herbs were also nourishing.

It's good wine, but Danheng never drinks and isn't used to it.

Jing Yuan watched this scene with a smile on his face but sorrow in his heart. He had imagined this meeting, and in his imagination, he had a thousand words he wanted to say. But at this moment—Jing Yuan remained silent, dissolving all his thoughts into his wine.

Danheng is no longer Danfeng, and Jingyuan is no longer the Jingyuan of the past...

He downed the drink in one gulp, and then the composed demeanor that never betrayed his emotions returned to Jing Yuan's face. Just now, Jing Yuan had toasted an old friend; now, he was the general of Luofu, doing his utmost for Luofu.

Jing Yuan: "Since Dan Heng is unaware of the cause and effect, I will take the time to explain it to him. Miss Zhu Xing may also like to hear Jing Yuan's insights. Although they are outdated strategies, they should provide a clearer understanding of the war."

Zhu Xing certainly has no objection, even though there may be no chance to use this knowledge at all. But it's definitely worth listening to a celestial general from the Immortal Ship teach you how to judge the general trend.

As Jingyuan finished speaking, a star map appeared on the chessboard on the stone pier beneath the pavilion. This was for Jingyuan's strategic planning.

Jingyuan: "The crisis at Luofu is also related to the upcoming war between the people of Fengrao."

"Although the signs of the upcoming fourth war of abundance have only recently begun to emerge, they have actually been brewing in secret for some time."

Jing Yuan lightly tapped a remote spot on the star map with his finger: "Qiong Sang! The mother star of the Wingers. The giant tree of Qiong Sang was chopped down by the power of the Emperor's Bow, and the Feather Emperor has long since fallen."

"But the Celestial Ship discovered the 'Peacock Angel' of the Wing Creators was restless decades ago, and the Feather Emperor's personal guards had long lost their spirit since the Feather Emperor's fall."

"Unfortunately, although Qiongsang is dilapidated, it is still sensitive and difficult to explore because it is the ancestral land of the Wingers. Until recently, Qiongsang showed signs of revival, and the Azure Stone Sacred Nest also became restless."

"It seems that a wing-maker inherited the legacy of the Feather Emperor and coexisted with Qiongsang to create a different kind of Abundance Envoy."

"And they must have always wanted to seize the remaining bountiful miracles in order to take life and feed the gods. These years must have been spent training soldiers and preparing for war."

Jing Yuan pointed again, and a planet suddenly magnified, along with an extremely detailed star map of the surrounding area, clearly different from the one shown on Qiong Sang earlier.

"Dulan—the ancestral star of Buli and the Fox People, has been in decline since the last Bountiful War when the Immortal Ship destroyed its divine relics and captured its leader. The major hunting groups are leaderless and plagued by internal strife."

"The alliance originally thought that Bu Li was already a disorganized mess and not worth worrying about. Based on the fact that the Immortal Ship needed to recuperate and the new Cloud Cavalry army needed to train, they did not launch an attack."

Zhu Xing curled his lip and said in plain language, "They're too good at running away. They can't catch up with or find us in large-scale battles, so they leave a few big and small cats on their ancestral planet to the Immortal Ship Alliance. They can bomb it if they want, while the main force of the hunting party roams the star sea, living a nomadic life with no fixed abode."

How can we conquer someone who doesn't even want their homeland anymore?

"Some time ago, a guy claiming to be the master of immortality appeared in Dulan. He left the hunting groups and seemed to be unifying them."

It was "a while ago" again. Was "a while ago" on Xianzhou Island several years ago or more than a decade ago?

I really want to complain.

So what if you're an immortal? Hey! I'm an immortal too~ Never mind then.

Even so, it's still hard to understand the concept of time in the Immortal Ship. But can a thousand-year lifespan really change a person's concept of time like this?

"Xianzhou originally did not want to pay attention to it, feeling that the trend of unity after a long period of division was inevitable, and that the envoy of the Lord of Longevity was just an ambitious person from a certain hunting group pretending to be a god."

"We plan to observe secretly until the Bu Li have truly gathered and returned to their nest, then we will take up arms to attack them."

"Later, a coalition was formed, spearheaded by the Wingers and the Steppes, and 89 previously undetected tribes of the Abundant People openly joined the alliance. They formed this coalition to seize the Abundant Miracle within the 'Divine Firmament Space City.'"

"How could the Immortal Ship Alliance ignore such a calamity? Therefore, the Marshal summoned the Heavenly Generals to rush to the aid, vowing to defeat the evil creatures and bring a hundred years of peace to the world, free from their disturbance."

Jing Yuan tapped repeatedly on the star map, which showed that the reinforcements were not randomly dispatched.

Zhu Ming's spaceship is currently anchored in the Lehua Ladurie star cluster, forming a triangular configuration with Du Lan and Qiong Sang.

Unfortunately, one of the corners is a celestial vessel, so this is like a steel nail.

There is no possibility that the Wing Builders and Bu Liduan will meet up ahead of schedule.

Yaoqing was already close to Dulan when the Yunqi reinforcements arrived on the same route. It's likely that the two sides started fighting along the way, harassing and harassing them, leaving them exhausted and weary.

Chapter 181 Imperial Edict Approaches the Jade Realm; Commanding the Heavenly Halberd

Various civilizations across the star map have responded to the call of the "Immortal Ship Alliance" and are willing to contribute to the fight against the Abundance.

It just so happens to block every necessary path.

The strategy was obvious: to stall, causing the Fengrao Allied Forces, which should have arrived simultaneously, to arrive in staggered fashions. Our forces, with superior numbers, were able to defeat them one by one, achieving success everywhere.

Jing Yuan abruptly stood up, his expression fierce, as if wielding a heaven-defying halberd: "Though the wicked creatures have received the blessing of the 'Ancestor of Longevity and Plague,' their immortality has become a burden. Their army lacks the will to die, their generals lack the will to fight, relying solely on numbers to devour other realms. This is 'powerful in numbers but scattered in spirit.'"

"The various units of the Allied Forces were scattered across the world, hastily assembling their army, mostly driven by self-interest. Those who clung to life, those who opposed the natural order, and those who had fallen into demonic influence were suspicious of each other, resulting in a lack of unity. This is a case of 'numerous branches and a weak trunk.'"

Jing Yuan was incredibly sharp-tongued, his words filled with contempt for the Fengrao Allied Forces, a stark contrast to his usual gentle demeanor: "Such a military force may seem imposing, but it will crumble at the slightest setback and collapse at the next."

"The way to win is to weaken their power, blunt their edge, and diminish their sharpness."

"The most important thing in warfare is harmony among the people. If the enemy loses harmony, the Immortal Ship Alliance will patrol the star sea and its prestige will grow day by day; it will send medicine to cure diseases in all directions and its virtue will be valued day by day."

"Mr. Lin Yi recently made the panacea public, and everyone in the world is grateful for his kindness and wants to repay him."

"—The evil creatures are notorious for their heinous deeds, while we have virtue, prestige, kindness, and wisdom, which is why we have garnered such a large and enthusiastic response to fight against the bountiful harvest."

Dan Heng cupped his hands and said, "General, your strategy is brilliant. If we proceed according to this plan, the Fengrao Alliance should be no threat. But I wonder where the danger to Luofu comes from?" Even an outsider like Dan Heng could see that if the war really went this way, the overall situation was already decided, and it was only a matter of time.

Dan Heng truly admired him. His words and actions sounded simple, but one only realized how difficult it was to actually do it. Anyone who has ever managed people knows that being able to manage 100,000 is already a great talent, let alone being able to oversee the whole situation, guide the situation, and coordinate all parties.

Zhu Xing's eyes were somewhat unfocused; he couldn't understand anything at all—it was even more drowsy than the teacher's class. Look, even the teacher, Lin Yi, wasn't watching the live stream anymore; he was clearly finding it boring too.

It wasn't that Zhu Xing didn't understand, but rather that his mind wasn't on it; Zhu Xing's thoughts had drifted to the fun that Aha had just mentioned.

As for Yanqing... he really did fall asleep while listening, and he slept standing up.

"This strategy has been rejected because of a lack of information." Jing Yuan remained calm and showed no regret.

Dan Heng froze, his face blank with surprise.

Jingyuan: "Hahaha~ I didn't expect you to have this expression. I thought you were always so calm."

Danheng: ......

Danheng: "I just didn't expect such a detailed strategy to be so easily rendered useless. It seems I'm not suited to leading troops in battle, but as an anonymous person, I shouldn't need to use this skill."

Jing Yuan said, half-jokingly and half-seriously, "That's not necessarily true. The nameless passenger on the Star Train during the global locust plague might have this skill. Do you want to learn? I can teach you."

Dan Heng hesitated for a moment: "I am indeed very curious as to why this plan was abandoned."

Jingyuan: "Your thirst for knowledge is certainly not like Danfeng's."

'He looks like Yingxing...'

"Then I'll elaborate."

Jing Yuan: "The reason is very simple - raising an army is a major event and cannot be decided lightly. If the commander of the three armies makes even the slightest mistake, countless soldiers will die or be wounded."

"The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, and there is no unchanging way to win unless you are a star god. Battle layout and military strategy should also change with the times."

“It’s better to put the generals in a tougher position, to give them a hard time and put their minds to work, than to have the Cloud Cavalry soldiers lose their lives.”

"The biggest oversight in this battle simulation was the misjudgment of one person."

"The Great Monarch of Annihilation o Illusion".

"Information from the 'Divine Firmament Space City' has confirmed the Alliance's claim that Mangus, who appeared in Dulan, is indeed a Great Lord of Annihilation."

"Conventional interstellar warfare is nothing more than pursuing range, accuracy, and speed. As long as these three aspects are considered and predicted, the outcome of a war is actually decided before the fighting even begins."

"But the Commander is an exception; the Commander is an individual who can have a disruptive impact on the course of the war."

"Conventional fleets can generally only choose two out of three factors: range, accuracy, and speed."

"When the order is different, it takes into account these three factors and sometimes a fourth element can be added - range, the ultimate damage range."

"A single Annihilation Lord is more than enough leverage, plus Lin Yi (#85) of the 'Divine Firmament Space City.' This genius also strongly urged the Immortal Ship not to obstruct the convergence of the Abundant Allied Forces."

Lin Yi: It's more fun to fight when everyone's together. I don't care about accuracy or speed, all I care about is range and area of ​​effect!

"This change in the situation gave rise to a second tactic: to trap the enemy by tightening the external defenses while keeping the internal defenses loose."

"Only a small force of Cloud Cavalry will remain internally for containment and guidance purposes; the main force on the battlefield will consist of a number of targeted, high-lethal weapons from the 'Divine Firmament Space City.'"

"I don't know the specifics yet."

Jing Yuan shook his head helplessly: "This strategy relies on the terrain to lure the enemy deep into our territory and annihilate them completely. For me, it is quite risky and not a good strategy."

Jing Yuan: "It's a pity. Originally, I wanted to take advantage of the situation to fight against the enemy, to use one calamity to control another, and to drive one tiger to devour another. But now it's not appropriate."

Zhu Xing sipped the hot, floating goat milk, then caught the lion cub and shared half with it: "We have the right people and the right place, but what we lack is the right timing and strategy? For example, let the God of the Heavenly Bow shoot an arrow."

Jing Yuan laughed heartily: "Haha, Miss Zhuxing is truly witty. This is indeed the best strategy. However, we cannot command the Emperor Bow and the Fate-Bearer."

Who would believe that? Go ask the company if they believe it.

Zhu Xing: "The success or failure of a war never depends on the lowest-ranking soldiers. They may play a role, but they are not the decisive ones. Commanders are the key to success or failure."

Just then, Yanqing woke up as well.

Zhu Xing handed the empty bowl to Yan Qing: "Brother Yan Qing, please have another bowl, this time with some sugar."

"Indeed, the envoy is what the Feather Emperor is seeking most, and it should be a miracle of abundance."

Zhu Xing muttered under her breath, "She's really brave~"

Even now, Chasing Star still doesn't understand how the Abundant Alliance dared to do that.

Jing Yuan chimed in: "That bastard is naturally audacious. The Alliance values ​​the Feather Emperor enough. General Tianji will personally lead the battle, and with General Fubo waiting in comfort and Mr. Lin Yi himself, it's absolutely safe enough, even redundant."

"As for the Great Lord of Annihilation... we cannot determine which side she will go to. We can only judge based on the information shared by Mr. Lin Yi that she may be heading towards the 'Divine Firmament Space City,' or she may be plotting to seize the 'Jianmu' of the Immortal Ship Alliance."

"The original plan was to pretend ignorance, with Jing Yuan continuing his journey to 'Traltekutli,' while the Marshal personally went to Luofu to oversee the situation and suppress the villains. Inviting Dan Heng was merely to break the seal on the location of 'Jianmu Xuangen.'"

Suddenly, something occurred to me. The first person the train crew encounters in each place is never simple, but this time the train crew encounters Clara, the queen of tricks, who always comes up with some crazy ideas.

Chapter 182 Tingyun's Reimbursement

"Perhaps the inheritance is incomplete, and the White Dew Dragon Maiden is unable to break the seal. Therefore, I would like to invite you to try, and take the opportunity to revoke the alliance's banishment order against you. If you refuse to come, I have other ways."

Dan Heng was somewhat surprised: "The Marshal himself has come?"

Dan Heng understands what the Immortal Boat Marshal means. This is far from the point where the Marshal needs to leave Xuling.

Jing Yuan's expression changed slightly, and he sighed softly: "The Marshal needs someone to test the waters and challenge the enemy, and Huan Long is just right."

Then his tone changed again: "But that was before. The Antimatter Legion suddenly changed its marching route, and there was a possibility that it would just miss the Void Mausoleum. The situation in the Void Mausoleum is complicated and cannot be moved rashly, so the Marshal had to return to the Void Mausoleum to take charge."

"Therefore, Jing Yuan is probably unable to leave the Immortal Ship on his own. Not only that, but he may also need the help of Miss Zhu Xing and you, Dan Heng. After all, in terms of martial prowess alone, Jing Yuan is far inferior to the Marshal."

“Jing Yuan can’t be as casual and impulsive as the Marshal, and he’s not confident that he can take down Huanlong without damaging the Immortal Ship.”

Zhu Xingbuling immediately stopped drinking the hot goat milk and pointed at himself with his index finger: "Me? Fight Huanlong? Really?"
