A week later. Early in the morning, the prairie of Pampis, which was at the beginning of summer, was in high spirits. The air was filled with the fragrance of patriarch grass. In this sparsely populated area, in the center of the prairie, there was a sea of people, yet there was not the slightest bit of noise.

Three days ago, Fire Phoenix and Thunder God's two mercenary groups had arrived. After three days of rest, they were full of energy. After hearing about what had happened to the elves, a few of the captains mobilized righteously, as if they had eaten stimulants, and wanted to rush to the Dark Tribal Alliance to kill them.

Without a doubt, Lan Feng had become the temporary commander. The strongest troops were the two big mercenary groups and the elf clan.

Although they did not say it aloud, in their hearts, they had long since treated Lan Feng as the reincarnation of a divine being. He had never seen Thunder God's chief, Vossina, but he was very clear on the Fire Phoenix's reaction and You Yun's personality. After listening to You Yun's explanation, he more or less believed it a little.

As for the Elves, it could be said that none of them knew how to command tactics, and their personalities were unsuitable to lead large-scale wars. If they were too kind, it might cause them to be disrespectful in all aspects. If it was the old Lan Feng, he would also not be suitable, but MerLin's serious injuries had caused a huge change in his personality.

Forget about the people from Tianxing Mercenary Group, they would definitely not oppose Lan Feng as the commander, but what about Siloke? What could he do? His two thousand Silver Dragon Guard s were indeed elites, but compared to the powers in front of him, they were still lacking slightly.

Lan Feng stood in front of the neatly organized group of ten thousand people, and his voice that was filled with true energy floated in the air: "The Elf Princess has been kidnapped, and the Dark Elves intends to fight to be the hegemon of the world. We should not have been involved in the war between countries, but we are people with blood in our hearts. We absolutely cannot allow the evil people to take control of the mainland's power. We all have parents and relatives. Can you all watch your loved ones be ruled by a group of devils? Are we going to watch evil gain the upper hand? "

"No way!" The voices of over ten thousand people sounded in unison.

"Alright!" Lan Feng said loudly, "We will begin our pre-battle planning. First of all, the prairie of Pampis and our Dark Tribal Alliance are at the border. However, due to the special circumstances, the environment outside the prairie is flat, and we do not have a solid enough physical defense line. This lays the foundation for our attack. However, our side is moving too many people, so the other side should already know that our enemies are the Dark Elves, but they are a part of the Dark Tribal Alliance, which means to say, our enemies are a country. Over ten thousand troops might sound like a lot, but to a nation, it's really not that much. "

"A country's territory is vast, its forces are scattered, and it has to take into account many aspects. That's why we have the advantage in the early stages. It is precisely because of this that we need to obtain a wager in the shortest amount of time possible. This wager is equivalent to exchanging for the wager of the Elf Princess.

Siloke walked out of the Silver Dragon Guard's array and asked loudly, "If the enemy starts threatening the Elf Princess right after the war, what should we do?"

Shawk said in a deep voice, "Viscount Siloke's hypothesis is very likely to happen, but do not worry, this is something that we have long planned out. Everyone just needs to unite and follow the orders, I can guarantee that nothing will happen!"

Siloke nodded his head and retreated. Lan Feng then issued another order, "We have a total of over 13,000 troops, which side do they belong to? For the sake of war, we must definitely split the forces evenly. Perhaps the new commander is not the old leader, but everyone must obey his commands, is there a problem?! "

"No!"

"Command, Fire Phoenix, Thunder God, Heavenly Path and Silver Dragon Guard are led by Guild Leader Suotu. Captain Warman will be the deputy for a total of 1433 people!"

"Order, Flame Phoenix, Thunder God, Heavenly Path and Silver Dragon Guard are led by Captain Vosina. You Yun will be the assistant, a total of 2894 people!"

"Insignia, Fire Phoenix, Thunder God, Heavenly Path and Silver Dragon Guard are led by Viscount Siloke, a total of 7055 people!"

"Order, Flame Phoenix, Thunder God, Heavenly Path and Silver Dragon Guard are led by Captain Stemmons, a total of 592 people! Lanny will be in charge of the large scale manoeuvres. Everyone might not know, but as the only disciple of the Demon Saint Xuan Long, none of you are able to surpass Miss Lanny in the use of magic! "

"Her Majesty the Elf Queen has led 1511 people to form the Deity's Arrow Camp. Considering the big picture, I hope that Your Majesty will not be merciful!"

"In the end, other than the elven race and those responsible for leading and matching, all the Blue Stage Expert s will be led by me."

After the series of orders were given, Siloke walked out once again. From the bottom of his heart, he did not want to make things difficult for Lan Feng at all, he was not the type of person who would hold a grudge. But there was doubt in his mind that if he did not say so, he might bring a total disaster to the war.

Seeing him walk out, Lan Feng did not show any signs of impatience. From the first question he posed, Lan Feng could tell that he did not do it intentionally.

Siloke braced himself and asked: "Master Commander, if you were to command the Blue Stage Expert, then, who will direct the battle?"

Lan Feng smiled, pointed at Shawk and said: "The last command, is for me to lead Blue Stage Expert to form the assault battalion, and give Shawk the authority to control the leader position."

Everyone was shocked, thousands of people started discussing, Lan Feng was powerful, and was even from a Duke Family, and was familiar with the art of war. Amongst the leaders of the various powers, the only ones who were truly suitable to lead a large-scale war were him and Viscount Siloke, so no one said anything when he took over as the commander. Now, if he were to step down and change to Siloke, no one would have anything else to say. However, the one he chose was actually Shawk.

Outsiders might not know it, but if the vice-captain was so powerful, the main captain must be even more so.

In fact, many people already knew that Shawk's fighting strength was only at the peak of the Orange Stage, he was miles away from Lan Feng. Furthermore, he did not have a family background, and had not received any comprehensive military training, so he was not suitable to be the commander.

Lan Feng said in a deep voice, "Shawk was able to become the leader of the Tianxing Mercenary Group not because of his strength but because of his intelligence. Everyone should know, that in war, wisdom is more useful than strength. We had been together for more than a year, and during that time, my commanding ability had long since been completely learned by him, and it was much stronger than mine. I, Lan Feng Mercier, with the honor of the Moche family and the honor of the Empire of Sarn Knights, guarantee that he is more suitable than anyone else here to be the commander! "

Shawk didn't have the slightest bit of modesty to decline, and replied in a deep voice, "I know that no one trusts me, but what I want to tell you two is that I do not need your trust, I only need to obey orders. If I, Shawk, fail because of an improper command, I will definitely give you an explanation on the condition that you listen to my commands. Even if I am to ask you to die, you must not hesitate to do so. This is the basic requirement of being a soldier! "

"Since I dared to hand over this power to him, it is naturally because he has the ability. I hope that everyone does not look at him with a lustful gaze. The truth is better than eloquence." After Lan Feng finished speaking, the Nine Yin True Qi released a wave of energy, his eyes flashed with green light as he shouted out with the soul shaking voice of the Great Art of Soul Shifting: "Now, do you have any more questions?"

Although the area was too big, the number of people was too large, and the true energy was very scattered, many people still felt their hearts tremble. They all shouted in unison, "As you command!"

Shawk looked at Lan Feng with a face full of gratitude. He was very clear about Lan Feng's motive for doing this, even though he had learnt a lot in terms of strategy and direction, there were some aspects where he was not inferior to Lan Feng. However, what Lan Feng was doing was to raise his reputation. Due to various coincidences, Tianxing Mercenary Group was no longer a newbie mercenary group, as the leader, he needed to have a sufficiently high reputation to be respected.

Turning on the horse, Shawk waved his sword and said: "Light Cavalry will send 50 scouts to report the situation ahead. The heavy cavalry regiment was the leader, followed by the Fighters Group, the Magician and the rest, the Light Cavalry team coordinated with each other! The target is the Dark Tribal Alliance, set out! "

"Magician of the Wind attribute, release the Red Stage's Wind Walking Technique to speed up the speed of your advance!"

As Lanny gave the order, dozens of wind attribute Magician s either chanted or launched instantaneously. One after another, faint green balls of air floated out and landed on the bodies of the other Magician s. Those mages with weak constitutions suddenly had light bodies and their weights greatly decreased. Their advancing speed was even faster than those of powerful physical warriors.

The ten-thousand-strong team advanced at an extremely fast speed, with only people and horses, without any heavy transport. More than ten spatial rings were enough to contain thirty thousand soldiers for a month's rations. This was something no other army could compare to, and coupled with the fact that the Elves specialized in using natural magic, as long as there were seeds, large amounts of food could be produced in a short period of time.

Corley City was the first city to enter the Dark Tribal Alliance from the north. Small sized cities usually had a garrison of less than a thousand troops. With over 13,000 elites attacking, they would arrive within five days. The situation was critical!
