Yan Xing finished assigning tasks to Duan'er and Li Zhua, and then he ordered them to immediately carry them out as soon as they had caught the chickens.
Their mission was to resolve the security issues of the Eternal Domain's northern border within a month.
Only by fostering good relations with the neighboring Werewolf Tribes could they extend their reach further, deep into the Thunderous Swamp.
Form distant alliances to strike nearby. The reverse would be to form close alliances to strike at a distance.
Yan Xing's task was, during this one month of war preparations, to create a capable military force that could stand its ground deep within the Thunderous Swamp and win battles.
The number of troops didn't need to be excessive. Too many would be ineffectual within the confines of the Thunderous Swamp and could potentially trigger the vigilance of various factions and tribes within the swamp.
Yan Xing positioned himself as an adjuster of war, not as a participant.
