Xingzhou.

Luo Royal Mansion.

The major movements of the Divine Sword Sect were crystal clear to Luo Royal Mansion.

"This fool was so careless as to leak the news ahead of time, infuriating me immensely."

The King Luo sat on his throne, frowning, his expression stern.

Originally, he had planned to concentrate his forces to catch the Divine Sword Sect off-guard and seize them quickly to block the passages between Tai Xing Road and Kunwu Road.

Now that the plan was leaked prematurely, everything had to be laid out in the open.

"Has there been any response from Baihua Palace yet?"

He suddenly asked.

"Your Highness, the response from Baihua Palace was ambiguous, clearly wishing to remain neutral."

The black-clothed strategist with a feather fan spoke.

"Hmph, Hua Lianhua is truly foolish to think she can stay out of it and remain neutral – a woman’s perspective indeed."

King Luo scoffed, "Fine, let’s grant her the opportunity to stay neutral for now, but we’ll deal with Baihua Palace later."

"Your Highness, we could alter our plan slightly; since the Divine Sword Sect knows we’re about to strike them... why not fake an offensive and instead seize Baihua Palace? Baihua Palace is adjacent to Sichuan Road. Occupying it places us next to the weak and indecisive Fan Royal Mansion in the Sichuan Road sealed nation, where there are only two major martial factions, none too strong."

The black-clothed strategist’s eyes sparkled as he lowered his voice, "As the saying goes, plan for defeat before seeking victory. If the situation turns dire, we could retreat to Sichuan Road. Just by holding Jing Pass, Your Highness could protect yourself without being cut off."

Upon hearing this, King Luo displayed a thoughtful look.

He knew Mr. Wen was extremely wise and capable of making accurate judgments in advance; like during the Jade Capital rebellion, Mr. Wen sensed something wrong and promptly withdrew their men, thus the losses were minimal.

He had long coveted Sichuan Road.

But Baihua Palace stood between Luo Royal Mansion and Sichuan Road, always a thorn in his side.

"What about the Divine Sword Sect then? If we don’t seize them, how can we block Night King Mansion’s advance..."

A close confidant of King Luo couldn’t help but speak up.

Sudden plan changes might lead to unpredictable consequences...

"Actually, with the plan leaked, seizing the Divine Sword Sect quickly is nearly impossible now and might even drag our Luo Royal Mansion into the mire."

The black-clothed strategist Mr. Wen walked over to a large map, picked up a pointer, and pointed at a certain location, "We only need to seize Xuanzhou City...and deploy heavy forces along Qi River, which should be sufficient to block the Divine Sword Sect and Night King Mansion’s southern advances."

King Luo couldn’t help but walk over, subconsciously drew a large circle with his hand, and then burst into laughter, "Mr. Wen, with you advising me, it’s as if I have the aid of two Heavenly Persons."

"Follow the orders, adjust our deployment immediately as Mr. Wen dictated."

Following that, he returned to the main seat and issued the command.

"As you command."

Several of his confidants promptly received their orders.

This area was one of the most crucial resources within the Divine Sword Sect’s territory. The Divine Sword Sect bolstered the garrison here, even having real-power elders like the Great Grandmaster stationed. _{freewebnσvel.cѳm}
