Chapter 1578: Chapter 1579: Doubts

“So quick to make a move, it’s truly strange.”

Feng Yuan glanced at a patrolling soldier and remarked. Dou Yanlan followed his gaze, noticed something unusual, and murmured softly,

“Indeed, making small moves at this time isn’t necessarily a bad thing. At least it alerts others to be vigilant, which isn’t impossible.”

Qi Chen scratched his head and asked confusedly,

“I don’t see any issue, is it…?”

“The patrol route is fine, but look, his mouth keeps moving, and who makes notes while patrolling?”

Shaking his head, Feng Yuan spoke with a sense of helplessness. There really wasn’t any attempt to conceal it, blatantly doing such things. Feng Yuan wasn’t sure if the other soldiers noticed the anomaly, but with careful observation, anyone could spot the oddness. Besides that patrolling soldier, Feng Yuan also saw other soldiers openly gathering intelligence.

In addition to those guys, Feng Yuan noticed quite a few doing it more discreetly. He wasn’t surprised, he’d already speculated there might be issues with the deployment of soldiers from the Tower of Mechanisms. Moreover, he doubted the opponent would truly make these soldiers the main force or let them hang back when engaged.

“In a moment, we’ll be at the front. Ah Mu and Panshi will hold the fort ahead. Agunas, the task of protecting us is up to you. Others, be wary of dangers around and clear any sudden enemies.”

After glancing at the crowd, Feng Yuan said. Wu Dingwu looked puzzled at Feng Yuan and asked,

“What about the other teams? Are they unconcerned?”

“Are you underestimating them? Although they arrived later than us, that’s only because our force is overwhelming.”

Glancing at those teams, Feng Yuan spoke with exasperation. Though a few were amateurs, the rest weren’t that far behind. They had the demeanor and actions of military personnel, as for the leader? Despite seeming unimpressive, the aura similar to Dou Yanlan was quite evident.

These people were definitely organized with feedback, otherwise, Feng Yuan couldn’t suppose the reason for deploying commanders to the frontline.

“Although they should understand, I think it’s better if we communicate with them.”

Dou Yanlan suggested. Despite estimating they could speculate the situation and prepare responses, it was best to communicate, especially as Feng Yuan seemed reluctant due to concerns that everyone might act separately, making discussions futile.

“Alright then, I’ll leave it to you. I’ll rest a bit; perhaps you can liaise with other teams regarding scenarios like teaming up to fight a boss at the Crystal Tower. That dragon’s size isn’t small.”

Reminded of something, Feng Yuan cautioned. It had just occurred to him that possibility, considering suddenly gathering everyone unlikely meant simple acquaintance, likely something sinister ahead.

After speaking, Feng Yuan transformed into a Little Husky, jumped to the White Wolf Deity’s back, tail swaying, snoring. Seeing Feng Yuan , everyone exchanged helpless smiles — it indeed suited his conduct.

When Dou Yanlan approached, the group wasn’t surprised. The leading man smiled slightly and said to Dou Yanlan,

“You wouldn’t be here to discuss potential team-based combat?”

Dou Yanlan was puzzled by his response, to which he seemed slightly surprised, then chuckled and said,

“Indeed, we estimate they’ll likely have small teams acting separately to support the main battlefield. Naturally, the main battlefield may need your assistance, relying solely on those soldiers is bound to fail.”

Towards the end, he froze his gaze. They’d long known about the soldiers’ issues, given their military background, such overt intelligence-gathering was glaring.

After hearing his words, Dou Yanlan paused and said,

“Understood, but, don’t you have Divine Beasts for shelter?”

“It’ll act on the main battlefield, at least until it’s breached. We’re unlikely to be forcibly separated. That organization behind seems more like an immature child wielding a world-threatening weapon.”

Softly speaking, the man looked around. In reality, not only him, they, as commanders, judged this scenario: The perpetrator harbored no obvious malice, or perhaps, was ignorant of morality, acting purely on personal whim.

If not for and rules resembling humanity, they’d suspect it was Spirit Beasts causing this significant crisis. Not that it’s a crisis currently — few harmful events or fatalities arose — but they didn’t dare guarantee no dangerous actions from the opponent later.

If not for being unable to evict these unexpected teams or prevent participation in Xuanching Heavenly Kingdom’s war, they’d use methods to ensure safe exclusion from the battlefield.

At this time, Qi Chen and others summoned teams per Dou Yanlan’s request. This communication laid rough task allocation, though everyone was unsure of what lay ahead, so what was set might not be entirely practical.

Little Husky slept soundly on the White Wolf Deity’s back when a peculiar soldier quietly approached, trying to near the resting White Wolf. Little Husky slowly opened eyes, turned to stare, prompting the soldier to walk away seemingly unfazed.

Swaying his tail, Little Husky pondered briefly, tapped the White Wolf, which slowly rose, wagged its tail. Noticing the White Wolf standing, Agunas curiously observed, and the White Wolf walked before everyone. Little Husky jumped down from its back; many, unaware of Feng Yuan’s transformation ability, viewed this strange “Spirit Beast” with puzzlement.

“Best not separate later, especially from your Spirit Beasts. Hmm, you only have four Divine Beasts, then you must stay with them and avoid sending Beast Tamers or Spirit Beasts alone.”

Dou Yanlan asked Little Husky’s intention. Swaying his tail, Little Husky described recent events briefly. After hearing, Dou Yanlan and commanders fell into thought: Intend to act against the White Wolf? Impossible, it’s a powerful Divine Beast; attacking it means courting death.

Against Feng Yuan? Due to isolation? Yet wasn’t he on the White Wolf’s back? At this moment, Agunas pondered something and said,

“Couldn’t recognize you’re human?”

“Not him, these peculiar soldiers. I suspect their criteria for sabotage are Spirit Beasts alone or few departing sight, as for their intentions, it’s unclear.”

Swaying his tail, Little Husky spoke. Others unaware of Feng Yuan found it odd, questioning the talking Spirit Beast’s situation. Follow current novᴇls on n0velfire.net

Returning to human form, Feng Yuan stretched lazily and said,

“Really, can’t even repose comfortably, forget it, might as well stay this way.”

He scooped Xiao Ji, looked at everyone, shocking those oblivious to his truth when Little Husky suddenly became human. Dou Yanlan furrowed brows saying,

“Targeting Spirit Beasts? Why, wait, separating from Beast Tamers means losing combat ability?”

“Indeed, but why bother? If simply disqualifying people suffices, why complicate matters?”

One commander raised their doubt, but none could offer answers. They were unsure of the opponent’s motives.

After discussions, seeing no further teams, everyone decided to rest briefly, avoiding fatigue when engaging later, carefully instructing their Spirit Beasts and Beast Tamers to remain within sight.
