Chapter 157: War Council

"Sister? But you two look nothing alike."

Other than sharing the same blanc hair and thicc body, the two women in front of him didn't share many other features.

In fact, their eyes also weren't the same in colour. While Wuying had seductive red eyes, Wei Yan had sharp black eyes which looked like they could spot even the tiniest of details.

As if having expected this question, Wuying wasn't offended in the slightest and began explaining about her past to Jian Shen.

Turns out that Wei Yan was an orphan whom Wuying's father had taken in.

Next, after the two girls grew up like sisters Wuying's father began training Wei Yan to grow strong and protect Wuying from the shadows like a bodyguard.

Due to this, sister had turned into Master for Wei Yan who never once complained and kept Wuying safe at all times even if it meant she'd lose her life in the process.

But it seems like yesterday would be the last time because Wuying no longer wanted that.

Shaking her head, Wei Yan said, "How can I stop being your bodyguard? What if you're attacked by again? I.. "

"Just do as I say! I'm not scared of being attacked anymore, and you don't need to be either. Jian Shen is more than strong enough to protect us."

Blinking his eyes in surprise towards this arbitrarily made decision, Jian Shen looked carefully towards Wei Yan and had to admit that she was a beauty who wasn't much far from her sister.

"And you... Don't even think about laying a finger in my sister!"

...

Sitting at the head of the table, Li Qiao felt lucky from the three Sect Leaders who didn't seem to mind not sitting at the head.

Looking around the table, other than the Sect Leaders Li Qiao found his four generals who were in the Saint Realm also seated around the table.

As for the others, give whom they supported their chairs were arranged behind the ones they supported.

Glancing around the huge room which looked to be almost filled to the brim, Li Qiao's regret over the disappearance of Jian Shen and Wuying was reduced by a little.

"I welcome all of you for attending this War Council of mine. War is going to happen, and we need to decide how we are going to win this war."

"Make no doubt the Taiyang Empire is an evil one, but by no means is it a weak one."

"If we want to come out as the victors of this war, just running towards the enemy and fighting against them without a plan won't be enough."

"We need to devise a proper strategy to maximize killing the enemies while minimizing our losses."

All of this sounded well and good, but the problem was that even Li Qiao did not have a proper idea on how to do this.

With how a single individual could change the flow of the war, it was completely useless to try and arrange the soldiers in particular designs and use special tactics.

As for making the soldiers move in special formations which increases their overall capabilities, such formations were very rare to find and hard to learn and use.

Not to mention how Li Qiao didn't have enough time to teach such formations to all of his soldiers, and how much of a pipe dream it was to try and teach them to the Rogue cultivators, and Sect Disciples that were supporting his for this war.

Therefore, using special formations was not a solution to win this was.

Luckily, the core groups of the soldiers under the direct control of the four Head Generals were well versed in a few particular formations.

Unfortunately, the opposing Taiyang Empire also most likely had the same type of special groups due to which possessing them didn't give Li Qiao a huge advantage.

"So... Does anyone have anything they'd like to share?"

As soon as Li Qiao finished speaking, other than the Sect Leaders who didn't care about what would happen, everyone else including the Head Generals looked side to side towards the others while hoping that someone else would speak.

Finally, after seeing that no one was saying anything, Li Qiao had just sighed when Qiao Delun suggested something.

"Why not secretly add one or two elite cultivators to the lower level groups? This way he can burst out with huge strength and kill the enemies, or hold up the rear allowing the others to retreat."

Nodding his head towards this suggestion which wasn't too bad, Li Qiao didn't say anything about the idea because it wasn't easy to find elite cultivators.

At the same time, these words ended up reminding Li Qiao of Jian Shen who was elite of the elite. Putting him inside the weakest group of soldiers would definitely create a huge commotion on the battlefield and attack the focus of the enemy allowing Li Qiao to take advantage of this and launch an attack from another side.

Shaking his head and pushing these thoughts of regret out of his head, Li Qiao began listening to any ideas which those inside the room gave him.

In the end, however, it was only the Pill Refining Sect's Sect Masters suggestion which was both feasible and effective to use.

After all, other than this suggestion the various other suggestions Li Qiao heard were all the obvious ones like obtaining information about the enemy, launching a surprise attack, and so on.

In fact, there was even an idiot that suggested guerrilla warfare tactics.

How the hell would Li Qiao use guerrilla warfare when both the armies would be fighting against each other at full strength?
