Wang Long became curious about the gift from Yu Yaoran. However, he knew that although the Wind Horn sounded similar to the Doomsday Horn, they were entirely different items. Their power and value could not be compared, but he thought it should not be too shabby.
A hint of pain flashed across Yu Yaoran's face as he forced a smile to maintain his elegant demeanor. "That's right, it's the Wind Horn. Wang Long, since you're not from Nanhua City, you probably don't know how precious this item is. It was taken from the head of the ancient beast, the Wind Blood Eagle, and is considered a rare treasure. As long as you carry it, it significantly enhances your control over Wind Elemental Power within Primordial Power, greatly improving its application and power. Even if your strength is insufficient, you can still use the Wind Control Technique, and those who can already use it will see a thirty percent increase in their original strength! Just think about what having a thirty percent speed advantage means when your strength is comparable to others. Even if you encounter someone stronger than you, as long as the gap isn't too wide, whether to fight or flee depends on your own mastery!"
"Oh? It's that powerful?" Although Wang Long felt a bit regretful that the Wind Horn was not suited to his strengths in Thunder Element and Fire Essence, he could still see how precious it was. Not only would it provide a significant boost to his current abilities, but in the future, he could also trade it with other experts for Thunder Element treasures without losing out.
"Of course! This represents my long-standing friendship with Lord Wang Long! It must not be taken lightly!" Yu Yaoran said without blushing.
This was a stark contrast to his previous "innocent" scholar image.
Afterward, Wang Long and Ying Sang moved directly to a residence closer to Nanhua City Lord's Mansion, arranged personally by Lu Feng. Fortunately, even though they were nearing a major battle, Lu Feng thoughtfully considered their status as guests; this residence was among the more favorable ones in Nanhua City.
The elite team that Lu Feng had promised soon reported in.
Their strength was comparable to Ying Sang's group, consisting of eight members; only their leader, Li Fan, was noticeably stronger than Ying Sang.
In contrast, another development piqued Second Miss Lu Rou's curiosity about how he managed to integrate Ying Sang and others into Nanhua City's combat team in such a short time. Although they were not formal members, she temporarily kept them in her team alongside her personal guard Zhao Zheng, who possessed strength close to Cai Burin's.
Wang Long smirked coldly.
The Second Miss had completely misunderstood; he had never considered how to integrate Ying Sang and A-Yun into Nanhua City. On the contrary, it was about how those elite warriors from Nanhua City would adapt to his newly revised formation!
"Lord Wang Long, please think carefully. At this time, leaving Nanhua City too far beyond the established perimeter makes it easy to be attacked by potential enemies. We should return to Nanhua City first," urged Zhao Zheng, the leader of the dispatched team, rushing forward with some concern.
Wang Long nodded quietly, having just uncovered some important information. For instance, the concept of a defensive perimeter has emerged in the divine realm's "war philosophy." This indicates that while the divine realm is significantly behind in terms of governance compared to the current world, its strategic wisdom regarding warfare is not inferior.
In recent days, Wang Long has been guiding his subordinates to adapt to one another while having Zhao Zheng lead the way, continuously wandering around Nanhua City to enhance his understanding of the terrain.
From Wang Long's perspective, the defenses of Nanhua City are nearly flawless.
The main defenses consist of three layers.
The first layer is the mountainous terrain surrounding the area, which prevents any enemy, even with overwhelming forces, from launching an attack. In fact, they could be systematically defeated by Nanhua City's forces. However, overwhelming numbers do not equate to overwhelming power; if a master at the level of an Ancient Deity or the Brahma Demon King were to appear here, they would have no choice but to retreat to Nanhua City.
Although the mountain paths appear interconnected and simple, they are quite complex in reality.
In simple terms, all mountain paths in the east ultimately lead through a pass called Morning Call Fortress. To the south, there is the White Spirit River, home to powerful ancient creatures. Only a few locations with established large-scale magical formations are suitable for crossing; otherwise, one would surely face their backlash.
To the northwest lies the direction of Sky City, which is more central to Xuanmen. Generally, no enemies would attack from that direction. Moreover, there are rumors that Xuanmen has secretly sent experts to ensure their control over Nanhua City, hiding among those mountains. Their strength is such that Wang Long and his group need not worry about it.
Although Nanhua City possesses great power and boundless Primordial Power, it cannot cover all its mountainous areas with Defensive Arrays. Therefore, focusing on key defensive strategies is wise. Besides these obvious strongholds, there are also special magical formations deep within the mountains that Wang Long is keen to understand during this time so he can utilize them when necessary.
Since matters have escalated to involve someone like the Brahma Demon King, even Heavenly King Laozi cannot guarantee that Nanhua City can hold its ground. If necessary, it would be best to quickly evacuate with Ying Sang and others. Currently, Wang Long knows only two routes out of Nanhua City, so he must further familiarize himself with the terrain outside the mountains.
Before Wang Long could respond, Nurse Li Fan from Second Miss Lu Rou's side interjected: "Captain Zhao Zheng is right; your safety is our top priority. Even if Lord Wang Long wishes to explore further outside, it wouldn't be appropriate for you to accompany him. Moreover, nightfall is approaching; during the night, those terrifying methods of the Demon Clan become even more ruthless and unpredictable."
Although Li Fan possesses considerable strength within Nanhua City, his ability to serve as Lu Rou's bodyguard stems not only from his power but also from his cautious nature.
"I won't!" Fortunately for Wang Long, the lively and playful Lu Rou was "cooperating" by throwing a small tantrum. "My strength isn't low anymore, but no matter what, you never let me stay out overnight. This time, I'm not listening to you."
"Second Miss! It's a dangerous time right before a major battle," Li Fan said, knowing well the temperament of this Second Miss, and he tried to persuade her with a headache.
"Come on, as if you were so open-minded before there were any major battles," Lu Rou retorted without giving him any face. "And you just said I'm the Second Miss of Nanhua City. If something happens in the future that requires my sister to stay in Nanhua City while I lead everyone into battle, do you want me to suffer a huge loss from not understanding the terrain? It would be too late then!"
"Uh!" Li Fan really had no way to refute her. After all, Nanhua City was facing an unprecedented danger at least since he joined.
Perhaps it would be better for the Second Miss to gain some practical experience and understanding of the terrain now?
Li Fan couldn't help but be swayed by her reasoning.
"Alright, since Miss Lu Er has given the order, let's continue moving forward!"
Lu Rou's long-held wish was fulfilled. Although she realized that Wang Long had taken advantage of her a little, she was still very happy and hurried to catch up.
"I hope we won't regret this decision later," Li Fan could only smile wryly as he felt Zhao Zheng's gaze on him...
