Chapter 372: Adjusting the Strategy (2/2)
When Pei Rumo received the information, night had already fallen.
He brought along the cloth and knocked on Bai Luochu’s door. He planned to discuss their next move.
”Your soldiers are rather capable.” Bai Luochu looked at the piece of fabric and praised them.
They were soldiers he personally trained and Pei Rumo was feeling rather proud after Bai Luochu’s praise. Even so, he kept his expression hidden. He replied humbly, ”They are getting increasingly bold. They should have captured all of the enemies before making their report.”
Bai Luochu glanced at the fabric and fell into deep contemplation. When Pei Rumo saw Bai Luochu's expression, he thought that there was a problem. ”Is there something wrong with this piece of cloth?”
Bai Luochu shook her head. She felt that the piece of cloth was extremely familiar but she couldn’t put her finger on it.
”It’s nothing. However, I think I have seen this type of fabric somewhere before. Whatever the case, we need to pay extra attention and make plans for the worst case scenario seeing as there is another group of experts in the Desolate Region.”
”Make plans for the worst case scenario?” Pei Rumo truly wasn't able to imagine Bai Luochu’s ‘worst case scenario’.
”We need to assume that there are other factions with their eyes on the Desolate Region. We need to move with the assumption that they have already noticed us and are waiting to make a move.”
The air turned stale after Bai Luochu spoke. After a moment, Bai Luochu probed, ”I have a suggestion. I wonder if Your First Highness would like to listen to me?”
”You can speak your mind. There are no secrets between us.” They had been working together for such a long time and there was nothing they would hide from each other. There was no need to be so reserved when talking to each other.
”Why don't we expand the scouting range to the entire Desolate Region? As long as we encounter someone, we will make a record of the unique traits of their attire. We will be able to note down every faction who has their eyes on the Desolate Region.”
Pei Rumo nodded in response and replied, ”Alright. We shall do as you say. I will send a message to the soldiers immediately. They will start to scout out the entire Desolate Region in shifts.”
Receiving Bai Luochu’s confirmation, Pei Rumo returned to his room to notify his soldiers.
Since Bai Luochu had nothing to do, she opened up the map again and divided the Desolate Region into zones. She was planning to split the soldiers into groups so that they would be able to gain a clear understanding of the situation in the Desolate Region.
After dividing everything clearly, Bai Luochu entered a state of cultivation. The situation in the Desolate Region wasn't simple and even if she couldn't be of any help, she wasn’t going to drag everyone down.
