Special Expert of Beauty CEO-Chapter 1567 - 1571: Southern Barbarians Invade

The scouts' reports have arrived accurately, the initially doubtful Lei Shi now slumped in his chair, unable to deny it.

"How long has it been since Baisha Town was seized?" Lei Shi asked the scout.

"Reporting to the General, the news reached us two hours ago," replied the scout.

Lei Shi asked again, "Where did General Zhao retreat to?"

The scout replied, "General Zhao led the remnants, estimated to number between one thousand to two thousand, toward the direction of Xiaohe Town south of Baisha Town. It's uncertain if they will be able to take over the defenses of Xiaohe Town."

Upon hearing this, Lei Shi immediately walked over to the map, studying it intently.

After all, Zhao Qinghu was a major general under his Lei family army, and Qin Tian, observing his anxious expression, wished to go and rescue Zhao Qinghu.

"General Zhao, Xiaohe Town is over eight hundred miles from Sea City. If we deploy our troops now, it will be too late. Long Tianwu's main force will pass through Yunhe City south of Xiaohe Town, which is thirty-something kilometers from Yunhe City; there's no way the Dragon Clan's main force hasn't received the news."

Qin Tian pointed at Xiaohe Town on the map, advising, "Given the Dragon Clan's main force's advancement speed, they will likely reach Yunhe City with their vanguard in half a day; we won't make it before them if we go from here… We're bound to be late."

"General Zhao and them… I'm afraid…"

Qin Tian spoke, while Lei Shi, impatient, turned back to look at Qin Tian, his face full of gritted teeth expression!

Bam!

Angrily, Lei Shi shattered the wooden table behind him with a punch, startling everyone.

"Blame me! It is my fault! This Dragon Clan, truly… not to be underestimated!"

Lei Shi was extremely upset, pounding his chest in frustration, "Such a pity for my eight thousand elite Lei family troops! Such a pity for General Zhao Qinghu!"

The crowd fell into silence.

This time, Lei Shi originally intended to assert his authority in front of everyone, dispelling their fear of the Dragon Clan.

It turned out to be a miscalculation, not only failing to showcase his might but leading to loss and defeat instead.

"Qin Tian, I should have trusted your words… Alas!"

Lei Shi is a straightforward person, acknowledging his mistake without blaming Qin Tian, showing magnanimity.

He asked Qin Tian, "Qin Tian, in your opinion, what should we do now?"

Qin Tian looked at the map and said, "Currently, the Dragon Clan's morale is at its peak. We must not confront them head-on, especially before reinforcements arrive."

"Even if reinforcements do come, I believe by then, the entire East of the East State Mountain Range might have already fallen."

"There's no alternative; the East of the East State Mountain Range is all plains and rivers, hard to defend. Furthermore, the Dragon Clan is familiar with these terrains, so we cannot effectively defend."

"I believe our only option now is to hold Sea City till all reinforcement armies arrive and converge, then plan a counterattack."

Qin Tian's remarks weren't fresh insights; in reality, they were consensus already reached by everyone before.

When Lei Shi asked him, Qin Tian could only respond this way.

After all, with so many people present, should he propose a risky or incorrect plan that leads to major defeat, he would surely be held accountable.

"With the current plan, it seems we can only proceed this way. Damn it, the grudge with that Long Tianwu will never end!"

Lei Shi was quite frustrated, yet faced with the Dragon Clan's aggressive invasion, he was helpless, forced to choose to defend Sea City stubbornly.

Inside Sea City, seeing the imminent arrival of reinforcement armies from the four camps and Xiao Zhan, another major event unfolded in the Tianyuan Dynasty—

Southern Barbarians invasion!

The Barbarian Clan in the south of the Tianyuan Dynasty seized the moment when the East State and Dragon Clan battle was tight and launched an invasion, with thirty thousand Southern Barbarian troops, led by the Barbarian King, heading north, capturing eighteen cities in the south, shaking the Imperial City!

The map territory of South State was already much smaller than that of East State, and South State's military strength was inferior to East State's.

The sudden invasion by the Barbarian Clan made the capital of South State, South Capital, extremely anxious. Facing the Southern Barbarian army about to attack the gates of South Capital, the City Lord of South Capital requested reinforcements from the Imperial City.

The Imperial City was busy dealing with the chaos involving Demon Clan and Demon Clan, unable to spare troops, dispatching thirty thousand reinforcements, then issued an order for the South and West Camps of East Capital City, totaling two hundred thousand troops, not to go to Sea City, but directly head to South Capital for reinforcements!

This was a sudden shock.

The main force in East State, originally sixty-five thousand, suddenly reduced to forty-five thousand!

Although their military strength remains higher than the total of the Dragon Clan, panic was inevitable.

"Damn it, Long Tianwu! It must be Long Tianwu!"

Lei Shi was furious enough to burst his lungs, angrily saying, "The Southern Barbarians invasion must be instigated by Long Tianwu! She and the Barbarian King must have conspired together to invade our Tianyuan Dynasty! Simply outrageous! If this woman falls into my hands, I would surely torture her!"

Qin Tian standing by, said, "General Lei, don't indulge in delusions, a woman like Long Tianwu… haha, among us here, who can claim to tame her? I've never even seen her, and even in dreams I can't see her face clearly… this woman, I fear no man will dare look her in the eye in a lifetime!"

The two were at Lei Shi's residence, with familiar faces around, so everyone spoke casually.

"That's true, alas!"

Lei Shi was helpless, shaking his head, "Why did the Dragon Clan produce such a formidable woman… able to fight, cunning, and capable… I've heard she's also a beauty, darn it, heaven has favored her too well! That's just too unfair by golly!"

Everyone glanced at each other, the tense atmosphere significantly relaxed.

Qin Tian said, "Therefore, with Long Tianwu emerging, trouble comes to our Tianyuan Dynasty."

"I estimate this Dragon Clan invasion was completely premeditated by Long Tianwu. After the Dragon Clan invaded, the Demon Clan and Demon Clan simultaneously had huge friction with the Tianyuan Dynasty, and now the Barbarian Clan is invading at this critical moment, Long Tianwu's diplomatic mediation skills are truly eye-opening," Qin Tian analyzed slowly.

"Analyzing this doesn't help, Qin Tian, just tell me, do we have any good strategies to defeat the enemy now?" Lei Shi took a big swig of wine and asked, "Are we supposed to just hole up in Sea City, waiting for death?"

"It seems our battleground is to the west of the East State Mountain Range now."

Qin Tian said calmly, "In my personal opinion, we can engage in guerilla warfare around the East State Mountain Range against the Dragon Clan."

"Guerilla warfare?"

When everyone heard this, they were all dumbfounded.

Lei Shi frowned, "What is guerilla warfare? Qin Tian, you aren't talking nonsense, are you? I, Lei Shi, have served for twenty years, yet haven't heard of your tactics…"
