Chapter 205: Chapter 120: Luo Yong’s Thoughts, The Doom of the Jiang Family_2
And Luo Yong knew exactly why that was the case.
It must have been the Cooling Charms in the hands of Patriarch Changfeng that had taken effect.
A few days earlier, all Luo Yong could think about was,
to perform a miraculous feat, as if channeling the river’s waters from the heavens.
But as time passed, and after his return to the Luo Family Ancestral Land,
another brilliant tactic emerged in his mind.
If the Cooling Charm could lower temperatures,
then what if dozens or even hundreds of Cooling Charms were activated at the same time?
And what if the temperature were adjusted to the lowest point?
If the area shrouding those thieves from White Lotus Stockade were covered,
wouldn’t that be tantamount to his Luo Family being able to freely control the climate?
In time, they’d first bring forth a deluge from the heavens, followed by a wave of bitter cold.
Damnit, Luo Yong truly didn’t believe
that those thief soldiers from White Lotus Stockade could withstand it.
Good, even if those elite thief soldiers of White Lotus Stockade, dressed in shiny silver armor and wielding longbows, could bear these disasters,
surely the rest of the ordinary thieves couldn’t withstand it, could they?
And once those ordinary thieves couldn’t bear it anymore, and scattered, wouldn’t the White Lotus Stockade’s defensive formation break without an attack?
In that case, victory in the war would naturally be within easy reach.
…
After Luo Yong returned to the Luo Family Ancestral Land,
he immediately rushed towards the courtyard where Luo Changfeng resided.
“Patriarch Changfeng…”
Deep within the Luo Family Ancestral Land, in a courtyard emanating an ancient charm,
there, beneath the Stone Pavilion,
stood Luo Changfeng, his silver threads of hair imparting an air of otherworldly grace, gazing calmly into the distance.
“What is it?”
Noting Luo Yong by his side, Luo Changfeng glanced at him and softly asked.
Wasn’t this fellow supposed to be at the border between Huai Shui County and Yellow Mountain County?
Shouldn’t he be clashing with those tens of thousands of thieves from White Lotus Stockade?
Why had he suddenly appeared here?
“Patriarch Changfeng, there is something, I’m not sure if it’s appropriate to speak of it…”
Luo Yong said with a slight smile, speaking in a low voice.
Seeing Luo Yong’s demeanor, Luo Changfeng knew in his heart that this fellow was up to no good.
“If it’s not appropriate to speak of, then don’t mention it.”
“Alright, you may leave now…”
Luo Changfeng said casually, then waved his hand as if he did not intend to pay further attention to Luo Yong.
“Ah?”
Luo Yong looked up in surprise, swallowed his saliva, and after a moment,
he quickly spelled out the plan he had in mind.
“So, you plan to play a clever trick?”
Luo Changfeng’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Luo Yong asked in a puzzled low voice, “Patriarch Changfeng, what does ‘clever trick’… mean?”
Luo Changfeng shook his head and replied, “Nothing…”
“Anyhow, you want to ask me for some Cooling Charms, and Rain Seeking Talismans, correct?”
Luo Yong nodded vigorously, his expression somewhat excited as he said, “Yes, yes, Patriarch Changfeng, if you could also grant me some Invisibility Talismans, then my one hundred cavalry, formed by the Myriad Jade Kirins, would see an enormous boost in combat effectiveness.”
Listening to Luo Yong’s words, Luo Changfeng couldn’t help but twitch at the corners of his eyes.
Luo Yong sure had some nerve to ask!
If everything had to depend on him, the Ancestor of the Luo Family,
then what was the point of organizing that elite army?
Wouldn’t it be better to use those resources to cultivate family members?
However, although that’s what he thought,
still, Luo Changfeng waved his hand and withdrew a small portion of his stock from his storage bag for Luo Yong.
“Inside here, a total of three thousand talismans.
One thousand Cooling Charms, one thousand Rain Seeking Talismans, one thousand Invisibility Talismans…”
Luo Changfeng said softly.
However, before he could finish,
Luo Yong was already reaching out to take them.
“Don’t rush.”
Luo Changfeng glanced at Luo Yong, who seemed impatient, and then said with some helplessness, “Remember, use them sparingly, and remember, if you rely on me for everything, what is the point of training so many elite troops in the clan? Wouldn’t it be better to use those resources elsewhere?”
After finishing his speech, Luo Changfeng handed the three thousand talismans to Luo Yong.
And Luo Yong, somewhat ashamed, lowered his head.
He then took the talismans and left the courtyard.
“By the way, what was it that you mentioned before?”
As Luo Yong gradually drifted away, even disappearing from his sight,
Luo Changfeng turned to Ruan Liuli, who had suddenly appeared at his side, and asked softly.
“The White Lotus Stockade seems to be transporting some sort of enormous ballistas towards the border between Yellow Mountain County and Huai Shui County.
And according to reports from the Shadow Guards…”
“Those gigantic ballistas are not ordinary ones, but are crafted by Artifact Refiners and possess tremendous destructive capabilities,” said Ruan Liuli, her youthful pallor evident, speaking softly beside Luo Changfeng.
“Gigantic ballistas?”
“And they’re not the ordinary kind?”
“Crafted by Artifact Refiners, with tremendous destructive capabilities?”
Pondering this, Luo Changfeng couldn’t help but smile slightly.
The situation was becoming increasingly interesting.
The profession of Artifact Refiner, although it, along with that of Alchemist, are known as the two most profitable professions,
due to the existence of the Wan Dan Sect,
in any place, the number of Alchemists is often many times or even more than ten times that of Artifact Refiners.
