”Everything has returned to the starting point…”
While the winds howled overhead, Wang Chong stood at the peak of Deflecting Blade Mountain, his heart incomparably calm. The defeat in the southwest, the interception of the reinforcements, the restlessness of the surrounding foreign countries…
Everything was exactly like what had happened in his last life!
When consternation and panic engulfed all of the Great Tang, only Wang Chong was calm, having anticipated everything.
”Young Master, the training is finished. What should be done next…”
A familiar voice came from behind him as Zhao Jingdian galloped on a horse toward him. At almost the same time, there was a rumble as hundreds of horsemen charged down the mountain, a crushing momentum exploding from their bodies.
Wang Chong watched these swift figures until they vanished into the distance.
If one didn't know the truth, it would be very hard to believe that these incredibly fierce horsemen were actually the True Martial realm experts that Wang Chong had recruited from the various clans!
These people had come from different clans, practiced different techniques, and had different temperaments, but at this moment, they were beginning to show signs of an army.
Only with Li Siye's power suppressing from above and Zhao Jingdian's ability to organize troops could this sort of army be formed in such a short amount of time.
Although he had still not reached the proficiency from his last life, Zhao Jingdian was already beginning to display that talent for command that had made him Wang Chong's trusted aide.
”It's about time. Proceed with the second phase of training?”
Wang Chong took out a long-prepared diagram from his sleeve and gave it to Zhao Jingdian. These True Martial realm experts hired by the clans were still far from reaching the level of discipline, obedience, and flexibility that he wanted. He wasn't able to command them like they were his arms and fingers, but as long as they could learn the two formations he had given them, it would be enough.
The rest would have to be trained on the march, and this follow-up training was probably not something Zhao Jingdian could do. He would have to personally supervise it.
”Yes, Young Master!”
Zhao Jingdian lowered his head without hesitation and quickly went to carry out his new orders.
Gallop!
Zhao Jingdian's horse left a trail of dust as it hurried away to catch up with the one thousand horsemen. He began to issue order after order, and with these orders, the horsemen began to shift, their movements causing even more dust to rise.
”…I didn't think that you really would be training them!”
A sigh suddenly came from behind Wang Chong, as well as a voice tinged with an indescribably complex mixture of emotions. Wang Chong's body shivered as he turned his head. It was a familiar figure, broad-shouldered and sturdy, dressed in a yellow dragon robe. He was slowly walking up from the mountain slope, his every moment imbued with a noble aura.
And behind him was the old butler, silently following behind him like a ghost.
”Young Master, I'm sorry! His Highness King Song didn't permit me to inform you.”
Nearby, Wei Anfang had his head lowered and his arms drooped, shame all over his face.
Wang Chong's face went from surprise to a frown, but he quickly regained his composure.
King Song and his old butler shouldn't have been able to get so close without him noticing. But when he thought about that old butler's unfathomable strength and King Song's own power, Wang Chong felt somewhat pacified.
Although he himself had grown much stronger, he was still very far from unfathomably powerful experts like King Song and the old butler.
It was normal for him to not notice them as they ascended.
”Has Your Highness King Song come because of Ü-Tsang and Mengshe Zhao?” Wang Chong indifferently asked, as if he had already expected King Song and the old butler to appear.
