Chapter 163: Million Allied Forces, Dramatic Development?_2
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Over five hundred thousand armored soldiers, even if only a third of them are elite…
This was not something his Tang Family could easily withstand.
“Family Head, it’s said that previously, Feng Wentai planned to join forces with three families to attack our Tang Family.”
“But for some reason, the Luo Family chose not to participate.”
“Why not send someone to negotiate with the Luo Family?”
“If we could get the support of the Luo Family…”
“Wouldn’t the pressure on our Tang Family be greatly reduced?”
Seeing the Family Head was already troubled.
Thus, an elder of the Tang Family in the room made this suggestion.
“Seek aid from the Luo Family?”
As soon as these words were spoken, Tang Huaiping, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.
In his eyes, a myriad of thoughts flashed by.
If it were the Luo Family of the past…
The presence or absence of the Luo Family would not have affected the outcome of this war.
But if it were the current Luo Family…
The situation might not be the same.
“The Chen Family and Feng Wentai want the food reserves in the hands of my Tang Family, right?”
“Therefore, even if I have to give those reserves to the Luo Family, I will not give them to you two bastards…”
After making a decision.
Tang Huaiping chose to dispatch a family elder.
And sent him swiftly toward Qingshi Town in Huai Shui County, where the Luo Family was located.
…
The next day, at noon.
By now, the sun hung high, and the temperature outside had risen to an extremely terrifying degree.
If you walked outside for a moment.
You would feel a scorching wave continuously assaulting your face.
Making you feel unusually uncomfortable.
…
Qingshi Town, inner city, Luo Family Ancestral Land.
Inside the room where the Luo Family Patriarch was.
By now, quite a number of people had gathered.
Luo Yong was one, Luo An another, and Luo Chuan as well.
There was also one more person, the current Great Elder of the Tang Family, Tang Yuan, one of the four major families in Huai Shui County.
“I wonder what brings the Tang Family Great Elder to our Luo Family?”
Luo Ping, seated in the place of honor.
Looked at Tang Yuan, who tried to appear calm but whose expression was somewhat anxious.
Luo Ping slightly coughed twice and asked with feigned ignorance.
“The combined forces of the Chen Family and Feng Family surely must be known to the Luo Family Patriarch, right?”
Tang Yuan took a deep breath.
After calming his anxiety slightly,
he looked up and said in a low voice to Luo Ping before him.
“Oh? Is that so?”
Luo Ping looked curiously towards Luo Yong, Luo An, and Luo Chuan.
“I wouldn’t know, I’m not aware of this. Don’t ask me…”
In the room, Luo Yong, commanding an army of more than two hundred thousand, repeatedly shook his head.
Appearing to be truly ignorant of the matter.
“I have heard a bit about this matter, but unexpectedly, those two Families could muster a force of a million strong, quite shocking indeed…”
Luo An said calmly.
As for Luo Chuan, the Young Master, contemplating his father’s inquiry,
he pondered for a moment before answering, “I’ve heard of it, but I don’t know many details…”
As the responses of everyone in the room gradually emerged,
Luo Ping, the Luo Family Patriarch sitting in the place of honor, nodded silently.
He looked at Tang Yuan with a slightly apologetic expression and said, “Recently, I haven’t been dealing much with the affairs of state, so I’m not quite clear about this matter…”
Seeing the reactions of the people of the Luo Family,
Tang Yuan’s face twitched slightly.
After drawing several deep breaths and exhaling slowly, he then managed a smile and stated his intent, “My Family Head has sent me here to request the aid of the Luo Family…”
…
As soon as Tang Yuan made his statement,
the atmosphere in the room once again grew somewhat somber.
Luo Ping, Luo Yong, and Luo An exchanged glances.
Luo Chuan, meanwhile, kept his head slightly lowered, his eyes on his nose, and his nose on his heart.
While contemplating all the information regarding this matter, he also multitasked, studying his exceptionally mysterious Formation basics.
Only after Luo Ping, Luo An, and Luo Yong had silently deliberated for a long while,
did Luo An, who was somewhat lean with a mustache and looked exceedingly shrewd, suddenly stand up.
He sighed slightly and spoke with some helplessness, “Tang Family Great Elder, it’s not that our Luo Family doesn’t want to help, but it’s a case of the spirit willing but the flesh weak…”
“The Feng Family and Chen Family have vast influence.”
“Now they’ve even managed to gather one to two million armored elites.
“Our Luo Family has control over just a few small towns,
“Musters only a force of a hundred and twenty thousand men at best.”
“Even if we wanted to assist, there’s not much we could do…”
Tang Yuan’s face twitched again, and his expression became uglier.
What do you mean by one to two million armored elites?
Don’t you in the Luo Family know?
Those Chen and Feng Families may claim to command a million-strong force,
But their ranks of armored soldiers number little more than half a million.
And of those, the true elite constitute at most a third.
Even if it’s half, that would be barely more than two hundred thousand.
The Tang Family alone might find it difficult,
But if your Luo Family were to join, not to mention defeating the Allied Forces of those two Families, even ensuring they return without any achievements wouldn’t be too difficult.
…
Tang Yuan was truly agitated on the inside.
