#257 - Qin Shuai and Qin Yu

The sounds of battle shook the heavens as Qin Bu Yi immediately ordered everyone to head to the front lines.

Night.

In the military camp, Qin Bu Yi had his eyes slightly closed.

Beside the sand table, the Wang family patriarch, Wang Tian, was busying himself.

Wang Tian would occasionally call a messenger to issue orders.

Qin Bu Yi's leisurely demeanor contrasted sharply with Wang Tian's busyness.

After Wang Tian conveyed the final offensive strategy on the sand table, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Wang Tian smiled and said to Qin Bu Yi, "Marshal Qin, have you had a good rest?"

Hearing this, Qin Bu Yi's face flushed slightly.

He had basically been a hands-off commander throughout the day.

Wang Tian had handled everything.

This made Qin Bu Yi's role as commander more symbolic than practical.

Qin Bu Yi opened his eyes and said with some helplessness, "I haven't led troops or fought battles in so many years."

"Now you've suddenly given me so many people, how am I supposed to manage them all?"

"Professional matters should be left to professionals. General Wang, you've worked hard."

Wang Tian gave Qin Bu Yi an admiring look.

An ordinary person who becomes a commander, even if they don't interfere, would definitely show off their power.

Qin Bu Yi, on the other hand, was the opposite, always keeping a low profile, as if he wasn't the one who had become the marshal.

The Wang family of the imperial capital had been providing the Great Ming Dynasty with batches of excellent generals year after year.

Regardless of gender, once a member of the Wang family passed their coming-of-age ceremony, they would immediately join the military camp for training.

As the patriarch of the Wang family, Wang Tian was one of the few talented commanders in the current dynasty.

Ying Zhi's arrangement of Wang Tian here with Qin Bu Yi was self-evident.

With such an expert present, Qin Bu Yi was happy to be a symbolic commander.

Without Wang Tian, Qin Bu Yi's fifty billion and several thousand troops would definitely be in chaos right now.

How could they issue every order in such an orderly manner?

As for why Wang Tian wasn't made the commander, Qin Bu Yi had already figured out the reason.

First, his own combat power far exceeded Wang Tian's, and it would be difficult to convince the public if Wang Tian was the commander based solely on combat power.

Second, after the Li family incident, Ying Gan was wary of any aristocratic family in the Great Ming Dynasty.

If the Wang family rebelled during the war, at least Qin Bu Yi, as the commander, could restrain them, preventing too much loss to the Great Ming Dynasty.

Wang Tian said to Qin Bu Yi, "Marshal Qin, Commander He's side has already engaged in battle with the Great Qin Dynasty."

"What do you think we should do next?"

Qin Bu Yi said with a wry smile, "General Wang, are you deliberately testing me?"

"How would I know what to do? All subsequent actions will be at General Wang's discretion."

Wang Tian pointed to a map on the sand table and said, "According to intelligence from spies in the Great Qin Dynasty, the Great Qin Dynasty's Crown Prince, Qin Yu, is heading towards us."

Qin Bu Yi's eyes narrowed, and he said, "The Great Qin Crown Prince, Qin Yu, is heading towards us?"

Wang Tian said, "Yes, it is Qin Yu."

"For some reason, since the start of the war, Qin Yu has been paying attention to your movements, Marshal Qin."

"After learning that you are here, Qin Yu is leading one-third of the Great Qin's forces on a forced march towards us."

"Marshal Qin, the other party's intentions are not good."

Qin Bu Yi said, "Yes, their intentions are not good."

Qin Bu Yi was thinking about the reason why Qin Yu was coming to find him.

The other party must be coming to find him because he possessed something they needed.

Associating it with the various things he had displayed to the outside world, the most prominent title was undoubtedly the Law, the Heavens, and the Earth.

If Qin Bu Yi's guess was correct, the other party, as a member of the Chaos God Clan, probably wanted to capture him and exchange him for merit.

What Qin Bu Yi didn't know was that his speculation was already very close to the truth.

He possessed something the other party needed, and the other party also possessed something Qin Bu Yi needed.

"This is really like wanting to sleep and having a pillow delivered."

"I was originally worried about how to kill you, but now you've delivered yourself to my doorstep, so don't blame me."

"Kill Qin Yu and the limited-time mission will be completed perfectly. I'm very curious about what the follow-up mission of this limited-time mission will be..."

Qin Bu Yi said to Wang Tian, "General Wang, what are our chances of victory if we engage Qin Yu with our current forces?"

Wang Tian pondered for a moment and said, "If we don't consider the Great Ascension Realm combat power, I have an 80% chance of annihilating the enemy."

"If we include the Great Ascension Realm combat power, I only have a 40% chance."

Qin Bu Yi asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Wang Tian said, "I don't know where the Great Qin Dynasty got a batch of Great Ascension Realm cultivators."

"These Great Ascension Realm cultivators have unfamiliar faces, and spies from the Great Qin Dynasty say they have never seen these Great Ascension Realm cultivators before."

"It's as if these people appeared out of thin air. I suspect someone is helping the Great Qin Dynasty behind the scenes."

"If that's the case, this battle will be a bit troublesome."

Qin Bu Yi said, "Is it possible that these are Great Ascension Realm cultivators that the other party has been hiding in the dark for many years?"

Wang Tian shook his head and said, "I've also considered this situation, but it's not very realistic."

"It's okay to hide one or two Great Ascension Realm cultivators, but so many Great Ascension Realm cultivators, the resources required for cultivation each year would be an astronomical figure, it's impossible to hide it."

Qin Bu Yi asked, "What is the difference in the number of Great Ascension Realm cultivators between our side and the enemy?"

Wang Tian said, "Marshal Qin, currently, there are a total of three hundred Great Ascension Realm cultivators in our Second Army."

"And the other party, the number exceeds nearly twice ours, a full five hundred Great Ascension Realm cultivators."

Qin Bu Yi frowned slightly and said, "A difference of a full two hundred Great Ascension Realm cultivators."

This number seems insignificant compared to the fifty billion warriors under Qin Bu Yi's command.

But don't forget, these are a full two hundred Great Ascension Realm cultivators.

One Great Ascension Realm cultivator is enough to cause devastating damage, let alone two hundred.

Wang Tian said to Qin Bu Yi, "Marshal Qin, the enemy is getting closer and closer to us, and the two sides will meet in about half an hour."

"It's too late to retreat now, please give the order, Marshal, what should we do next."

Qin Bu Yi thought for a moment and said, "Since there is no way to retreat, then fight!"

"I will deal with the extra two hundred Great Ascension Realm cultivators."

"Notify everyone, the entire army prepares to fight!"

Wang Tian did not hesitate at all and said, "Yes."

Wang Tian basically had no doubts about what Qin Bu Yi said.

With Qin Bu Yi's combat power, in Wang Tian's view, although the chances of dealing with two hundred Great Ascension Realm cultivators were very small.

But he could definitely hold the enemy back. When his side annihilated the enemy, he would help Qin Bu Yi kill these two hundred Great Ascension Realm cultivators.

The messenger received Wang Tian's instructions and conveyed the order to prepare for battle to the entire army.

The Second Army instantly boiled over, and for a time, the fighting spirit soared into the sky.

Wang Tian took advantage of the fact that the Great Qin Dynasty had not yet arrived to deploy the battle lines.

Fifty billion warriors, a battle line that was a full one hundred thousand miles long.

Qin Bu Yi said to Wang Tian, "General Wang, you command the overall situation here, I will go outside to fight."

Wang Tian did not decline and said directly, "Marshal Qin, I will leave it to you."
