Lady Rou who was seated in the corner observed Mei Chen Xiu who was at the main seat of the meeting.

Lady Rou was from an intelligence unit, and was clear that her own ability was unable to make any large differencesin terms of military movements. Mei Chen Xiu was the one who formulated the plan on attacking the SouthernRegion, and as the best candidate, he became the chief commander of the entire operation.

This was Mei Chen Xiu’s first time taking on such an important position. Although he was the one who formulatedthe strategy on attacking the Southern Region, but what he submitted was merely the preliminary plan. The entiredevelopment was personally handled by the higher ups.

Finally after being left alone, Mei Chen Xiu felt extremely excited. To any military general, the ability to control theentire large scale war was a dream come true!

Mei Chen Xiu knew that it was an opportunity hard to come by. The process of annexing and swallowing up the various continents in the Western Region was a part of the vast battle history. After going through the countless battles, the Honorable Martial Continent that was not known for their armies grew stronger and stronger, and more famed grade generals appeared. Out of the few famous generals were the Five Honorable Martial Tigers: Mu Zhi Xia, Mo Xin, Qiu Xu Hua, Gou Cheng WenDao, and Jia Ya.

The Five absolute famed generals were neck to neck intimidating heroes. But to the other military generals of theHonorable Martial Continent, it meant that they had fewer chances to shine.

No one was born a famed grade general. A famed grade general was polished out. Only by going through theunforeseeable changes on the battlefield, battling with their enemy’s general in terms of wits and bravery, all ofthese experiences were required. They were things unachievable just by reading. Every battle was an extremelyhard to obtain experience for any military general. The larger the scale the war, the more complicated the situation,the higher the demands of the general, but at the same time, it gave valuable experience to him.

Mei Chen Xiu had immersed himself completely into it, his outstanding talent started to blossom with dazzling lightsunder the extreme difficulty.

For the first ph

ase of the war, he had called it [The Wind Sighing and Crane Calling].

“At the moment, the plan is moving extremely smoothly. We did not attack the important cities, and thus they arenot as prepared, other than Yuan Shan City sending soldiers out to chase, the other cities did not even botherchasing, so our retreat had been very smooth.”

The adjutant finished announcing the report, his face was full of excitement, from the looks of it, the progress hadbeen rather smooth.

Mei Chen Xiu nodded his head, with no expressions visible on his face: “How was the situation of capturing them?”

“The cities that had been sieged uniformly have rewards, but as the cities are not too big, the rewards are not toobig. As per your instructions, we did not attack any citizens. But the granaries have all been destroyed.”

“Well done.” Mei Chen Xiu smiled: “If they want to save the citizens, they need to transfer their food and resources,and thus deplete their manpower. We are pirates, born to destroy, we need to make them bleed continuously. Howare the reactions from the other continents?”

“All of them have increased their gua

rd.” The adjutant reported: “We do not have sufficient manpower. From thelooks of the situation, I suggest attacking their transport ships, this will make them more fatigue and will increasetheir bleeding.”

To pirates, attacking transport ships were their most common battle tactic. Pirates rarely attacked cities as the estuaries had tight defenses and powerful strongholds.

For a warship to attack a fort, they would lose the advantage in mobility, and instead be destroyed by the forts.

So when Mei Chen Xiu just announced the plan, many people rejected it, but with Lady Rou’s support, this plan wascompletely pushed on. No one would had thought that it would run so smoothly.

But after all, they were on unfamiliar grounds, using unfamiliar methods to do battle, the lower ranked pirates werefearful and did not have confidence in sieging cities. So when the other party increased their defense, theysubconsciously returned to their familiar style of fighting.

“No, the transport ships will most probably be bait. Follow according to plan, gather at the allocated location, weneed to be more patient.”

Despite his warm voice, Mei Chen Xiu’s voice had a strong sense of confidence.

Lady Rou looked at Mei Chen Xiu in admiration, from start to finish, she never interrupted him. This young man hadextraordinary self confidence and outstanding talent, but was just lacking a stage.

~There isn’t a better stage than this.~

~Maybe I am witnessing the rise of a fame grade general.~

But even if Mei Chen Xiu did mess it up, it did not really matter, because Lady Rou had just received orders from thehigher ups, that they had decided to launch an Expedition to the South!

A Southern Expedition!

These exciting words revealed an unusual scent, Lady Rou was inwardly shocked, because it would completelytopple their previous strategy. From an ordinary continent, the Honorable Martial Continent developed to devourthe Western Region, relying on the support of their strategies.

Regardless of spirit research, or the Honorable Martial techniques system or their attriting strategies, none had anyresults that could be seen in the short term. The Honorable Martial Continent was able to develop to where it waswas because of the perseverance and planning of the higher ups of Honorable Martial Continent for 500 years.

This seemingly dumb persistence caused the Honorable Martial Continent to become extremely strong, and many in the internal department of the Honorable Martial Continent felt that their strength was already enough for expeditions.

But no one had ever raised it up, because only after the early 300 years of persistence, did the Honorable MartialContinent see the dawn of being rich and powerful, obtaining and annexing as they went around the Sacred SaintGalaxy, waiting for the Star Door to open to launch the expedition in the Heaven’s Road to replenish themselves.When that happens, combining the Honorable Martial Continent of both words, they would truly becomeundefeated, and that would be the beginning of the true expeditions!

Every single higher up of the Honorable Martial Continent have followed this strategy to extreme completeness,and were bent on setting fire to the entire Southern Region, plotting chaos and disorder with petty tricks, neverreally starting a real expedition. An expedition would only cause the entire Sacred Saint Galaxy to unite and see theHonorable Martial Continent as an enemy.

To the Honorable Martial Continent, before conquering Heaven’s Road, they would not start any expedition, whichwas the fundamental strategy. But at the moment, this strategy was being pushed aside, causing people to be lost.

The orders from above specially mentioned the Shang Continent, requesting her to formulate a plan around seizingcontrol of the Shang Continent.

Lady Rou did not think that the Shang Continent was any threat to the Honorable Martial Continent, even with thecurrent Southern Alliance thriving. But compared to the Honorable Martial Continent that solely occupied theWestern Region and developed into a maturing giant, the Southern Alliance was still an infant. It’s life was so weakand feeble, with many internal strifes, shortage of team spirit and chaotic supervision, any bit of contradiction hadthe possibility of destroying this new life.

~Then what does the Shang Continent have? Only one answer: A Star Door to Heaven’s Road!~

But the Honorable Martial Continent also had a Star Door, just that it was not time to open. The Shang Continent’spath obviously also had a big problem, because there were no Heaven’s Road army entering the Sacred SaintGalaxy, and what the Shang Continent was relying on were all the armies from the Sacred Saint Galaxy.

~Are the higher ups so impatient to this extent?~

Lady Rou secretly shook her head, the current Honorable Martial Continent’s authoritative figure was Great ClanElder Augustine, and he had a pair of eyes that were capable of seeing and understanding everything, he heldunfathomable knowledge and was extremely patient.

~Great Clan Elder Augustine has been in power for 40 years, and in these 40 years, the Honorable MartialContinent has been flourishing. Great Clan Elder is also a careful man, and will not make such a lowly mistake.~

~There must be something that made the Great Clan Elder decide such a thing.~

~Could it be.....~

~Did something happen in Heaven’s Road?~ Lady Rou’s eyes opened widely, her face was full of shock.

~A betrayal from the Honorable Martial Group and the Temple!~

For some reason, that thought jumped out of her head. She was afraid of her own thought, but in the next second,she believed in that guess. She was a person from the intelligence unit, and treated everything with suspicion,especially loyalty. Furthermore, the connection between both sides was extremely thin, and the Sacred Saint Galaxylacked the ability to control the Honorable Martial Group and the Temple.

In that moment, she had plotted out the rough outline.

~As the time for the Star Door slowly crept nearer, the Temple and the Honorable Martial Group will definitely beafraid and confused for their future, they should already be at the pinnacle too, and the communication and trustbetween both sides had been less. At this time, the Temple and the Honorable Martial Group should be like driedgrass, with a bit of spark, they would combust.~

~If that is the case, that explains why the higher ups are unable to wait.~

~They require the waterway of the Shang Continent!~

After understanding the situation, Lady Rou calmed down, she rubbed the temples on her forehead and started tothink carefully, causing her to be slightly tired.

“My Lady, do you need to rest?”

Mei Chen Xiu noticed Lady Rou’s fatigue and asked in concern, towards this lady who had supported him endlessly,he treated her with utmost respect.

Lady Rou revealed a warm and gentle smile: “No matter, I need to leave for a while, I will hand this place over to you,will there be any problem?”

“I will take care of everything.”

Mei Chen Xiu bowed and answered.

Lady Rou did not inform him of the top secret news, Mei Chen Xiu’s rank was not high enough. She thought for a bit,and said: “You have roughly three months of time, and i hope that within that time, you will achieve a dazzlingvictory.”

Mei Chen Xiu was surprised, but he immediately revealed a thoughtful expression, and bowed again, speakingcalmly: “Although victory or defeat cannot be predicted on the battlefield, but I, Chen Xiu, will do my best.Regardless of anything, my lady’s promotion for me will always remain in my heart.”

Lady Rou revealed another look of admiration and laughed: “Your victory will be the best return.”

“Yes.” Mei Chen Xiu’s eyes lit up with a bright light.

Lady Rou laughed and left. Although the higher ups have already determined the expedition, but such a largemovement would be extremely complicated and require time. The Five Honorable Martial Tigers had to conscriptand gather their forces, prepare supplies, choose their course of route, all of these required discussions.

It could not be completed without a few months of preparations.

From that point, it was obvious that the higher ups were somewhat caught off guard by the changes in Heaven’sRoad.

~I hope that before the Southern Expedition begins, Mei Chen Xiu can obtain a victory. Only from that will he not becompletely suppressed. Once the expedition to the south begins, the Five Honorable Martial Tigers will definitelymove, and out of the five tigers, a few would definitely go to war.

Facing the glorious and powerful Five Honorable Martial Tigers, the other generals did not need to speak aboutauthority.

But if Mei Chen Xiu was able to take down the Shang Continent and obtain the waterway and establish thewonderful achievement, he would have the possibility to contend against the Five Tigers. But Lady Rou knew that itwas impossible, the Shang Continent had won every battle they fought, and definitely were not amateurs.

~But all he needs is a victory, for the Five Tigers to witness his talent, and for that, he can only depend on himself.~

~I have done all that I can.~

And before the expedition to the south began, she decided to explore the Shang Continent.

She was a person of the intelligence unit, and knew of the importance of intelligence, which was her mission.

~Shang Continent, I wonder what you are like?~

Her mind was filled with anticipation and curiosity.
