Chapter 140
” Finish the battle as soon as possible and proceed to support the military troops in the blue-zones. The process continues until you reach the red-zone, and we finish the battle.”
“The formations, several troops, and battle-plan are left on individual commanders. A clear path to all the locations is marked on the map. Please follow the instruction will providing to support to other regions.”
The meeting went on for a while before concluding. There was no mention of Long Tao’s plan regarding the execution of ambush. It was a tightly guarded secret. It was reasonable to believe that the Jiao military had some moles within its ranks.

The Crimson lord world-
” We can increase the production rate by 50 %. We can cover all the areas.”. It was Long tao’s plan all along. He was never going to miss any area for such.
The marking on the map was a fa?ade. Even Su Menqi wasn’t aware of this situation. Two separate squads were independently working on setting the ambush in the green-zones.
” the commander should be notified about the ambush,” the keeper insisted on sharing intel with the military.
.....
” Never entrust anyone with all your cards. It is a precaution against the emergence of a variable within the plan. It is a plausible back-up plan.”
” What about the men you stationed ta he borders of Chu country. IF discovered, they will lose their life.” Long Tao sent a small group of spies to monitor the situation within the Chu military.
“They are the sources of information regarding the placement and proceedings of the enemy. We need to able to improvise in case of discrepancies.”

” Your alchemy practice seems to go well. How positive are you to step into the 3rd alchemist before the end of the year.”
” I may not be able to step into advance level by the prefixed time with my master, but I will make sure to reach the intermediate stage of level 3 alchemist.”
” What about the beast flames. How many did you manage to get your hands on.”
” I have absorbed three types of beat flames until now. My master stood up to his words and provided me with lots of elemental oddities. My body is constantly being enhanced.”
” The Qi stones we collected should be of use to you now. You can’t waste all your time within this war. It is not an integral part of your martial path.”
” It is, in my opinion. It is to pay my respects to the white -dragon emperor. I can’t let the forces win. My aim of controlling this region coincides with the war.”

Tamar-
The troops were ready to proceed toward the battle. The commanders took charge of their battalions. The military tribunal held one last meeting.
After the allocation of battlefields was done, the army set out for war.
........................
Chu country-
” I have confirmed information regarding the areas of ambush. Our mole presented us with the details regarding the safe zones. We will be concentrating the troops in these locations.”
” Are you sure it is not a trap to manipulate us into concentrating troops here.”
” The planning was done within the final meeting of the Jiao military tribunal. The troops have already proceeded towards these regions. The messenger is certain about the information.’
” Its time to outsmart the enemy then. I want to look at Long Tao’s face when he finds out his plan was an epic failure.” Chu Jiang was laughing maniacally within his fortress.
...........................
The forest regions-
” As expected, they knew about the ambush regions.” Di Tao was analyzing the reports sent in by the spies.
Su Menqi was surprised to hear this. ” how could they know this information/.’
” There is only one plausible explanation for it. There is a mole within the military commanders. They are the only ones who know the regions expect us.”
” If this goes on, we will be at a major disadvantage. The traps are all set-up. We can’t re-locate so fast.”
‘ We don’t have to. They are sure to send some troops in this direction. Take care of these troops with the ambush. The rest of the squad will be proceeding to other regions.”
” We need to inform the military regarding this. The troop distribution is not good enough. The enemies would instantly decimate the green areas.” Su Menqi was concerned about the outcome of the war.
” believe in Long tao’s plan. He estimated this possibility. Adequate action has been taken. We need to follow the battle-plan.”
.................................
The Crimson Lord world-
” As expected, there is a mole within the military. I should have spent some time investigating them. No matter, we will proceed with our plan. Let them enjoy the feeling of outsmarting me.”
Long Tao predicted this variable to occur. The trap was already laid. He had to wait for the enemy to step into it.
................................
The Green zones-
” remember the instruction given by the commander. We are to wait for them to come into the respective regions. Draw them in.”
The military commanders were instructed to remain static within their positions. They were asked to let the enemy come into the battlefield. Let them make the first move.
The spies and scouts reported that the number of enemies coming in is more extensive than expected. The commanders within the green-zone began to repent their decision about believing Long Tao’s plan. It was an apparent disaster for their troops.
” Give out the orders. We are to stall and wait for back-up. We can’t let them win this region. We will fight till our last breath. All hail the Jiao country.’
.........................
” As expected, the troops’ concentration on this location is within the predicted numbers. We will over-power them within a day. It will be the marking of the first victory in this war. Proceed with haste.”
The Chu country’s troops marched in with full force.
........................
Forest regions-
” They are within the radius of the explosion.”. The captain of their team raised his hands. ” Release the trigger.”
‘ Booooooooom, boom, Boooom” Massive explosions took place within seconds. The light from the blast blinded the whole area. The sky was covered with enormous clouds of smoke.
