Chapter 417 (1/2)
Little Tiger Warrior Girl (1)
“Wait, I’ll pay,” Taeya grabbed Ye Lang’s gold coin swiftly then tossed a few coppers over. The meal was only worth a few coppers, he would be overpaying by a lot with a single gold coin.
This wasn’t the first time Taeya did this. After spending a day with him, she had already accumulated many gold coins with her. This kid spends too much , she thought as she stared at them.
She didn’t keep these gold coins for herself, of course. Instead, she would look for an opportunity to slip them back into his bag of coins. Since Ye Lang did not keep track of his money at all, he didn’t notice if there were a few more coins in it.
This was very similar to Tigress’ past behaviour so he didn’t care.
At the same time, there was no looming sense of dread among the people of the tribe lands, you wouldn’t know there was a war going on. Was it because they had always been at war? Were they used to this? Well, Ye Lang did not notice because he didn’t know there was one. He probably wouldn’t care if he did either.
“Master, you’re here! Can you take a look at this?”
Upon setting foot into the conference hall, Athena called him over to look at the battle conditions on the sand table before he spoke.
“You’re still playing this game? Why is the progress so slow? It’s been a few days, why hasn’t the game ended?” Ye Lang knew it was the same ‘game’ when he looked at the positions.
“Our opponents are far away, it takes a while for them to make a move.” Athena found a very suitable explanation-- they were playing against someone living far away.
“You’re all crazy. With all this time, why not just get that person over here to play… Attack here during the day, feign an attack here but retreat there…” Ye Lang started to make plans after surveying the positions for a moment. They were all seemingly random decisions too, he did not follow any school of thought at all.
The crowd couldn’t help but wonder if he was just talking for the fun of it.
Athena was in a dilemma. Should she take a chance and trust Ye Lang? Or completely disregard his plans? This was a tough decision. It was only after some time when she finally made her decision!
“Alright, we’ll follow your plan!” Athena clenched her teeth. If we die, we die! she thought.
Ye Lang’s casual tone did not give her much hope but what could she do at this moment? This was her last resort!
And this was the story of how Ye Lang was dragged into this war. He didn’t know he was fighting against Tigress, he was now her ‘biggest enemy’.
Naturally, Ye Lang still thought it was a game!
On the other side of the war, Tigress had just received an update from a messenger. Her armies were starting to intensify their attacks after seeing what their opponents were doing. They thought their opponents were starting to give up.
“What?! They’ve started to attack? Call them back! This is a trap! They can’t tell but this is a random war tactic Master often used! When they die, they wouldn’t even know why they died!” shouted Tigress when she received news. However, it might be too late.
After this, she had an odd feeling. This looked like something Master would do but why would he be here? And in her enemy’s camp too!
Perhaps someone stole his ideas after watching him play a few games on the sand table. And that someone is involved in this war.
As Tigress expected, Ye Lang’s next move was to perfectly coordinate all his forces- which were set to look as if they were slow and dispersed- together in the field. This was the point everyone realised it was actually a well-thought-out plan. The parts he didn’t move was actually the key to success.
