61: Chapter 61 The Yinghan Allied Forces, the Sneaky Little Fox.

Letting these thieves mine his resources as they please?

Such an order left Su Daji somewhat confused.

[Su Daji: My King, do you have something in mind?]

Facing Su Daji's confusion, Xu Xuan narrowed his eyes and summoned a virtual screen.

Through the virtual screen, Xu Xuan could observe Su Daji's surroundings.

The sun had just set, and night was falling.

That lord named Kim Yong-jun dared to occupy his territory?

If it were an ordinary person, they might have charged in impulsively with their troops, but Xu Xuan remained very calm.

"Let them dig. These things will return to my hands sooner or later."

Hearing Xu Xuan's reply, Su Daji's eyes lit up.

[Su Daji: My King, you mean we should let them dig as they please, and then we take it back tomorrow?]

Transformed into a white fox, she sighed inwardly from the woods; the King truly had a brilliant plan, utilizing the enemy's labor.

These idiots were happily stealing now, but once the King led his army to flatten their territory tomorrow morning and seize all their resources, all their hard work tonight would only benefit us, wouldn't it?

However, in the next moment, a word from Xu Xuan snapped Su Daji back to reality.

"My current strength is known to everyone. This guy Kim Yong-jun saw my name and didn't run, but instead stayed to mine on my land. Do you think that's normal?"

These words were a wake-up call.

Su Daji initially thought they were just petty thieves, but with the King's reminder, she realized these ore thieves were likely more than they seemed.

"Don't forget, our Sky Kingdom island is massive. In good weather, it can be seen from a hundred miles away. We are in the light, and the enemy is in the dark."

"Any normal person wouldn't provoke me unless they were prepared."

After hearing Xu Xuan's analysis, Su Daji was filled with excitement.

The King's terrifying powers of observation and calm reasoning made her realize one thing: she had likely followed the right person!

Following the will of heaven, she had come to assist this King. Initially, she still carried the arrogance of the Nine-Tails that looked down on all living things, but now she saw that she had been too self-righteous.

[Su Daji: My King, I will go and conduct a thorough reconnaissance immediately!]

With that, Su Daji used her fox form to weave through the grass.

The waist-high weeds perfectly concealed Su Daji's figure. Since she didn't have much magical power yet, caution was her best course of action.

Under the moonlight, a pointed white fox face poked out from the grass as Su Daji carefully observed the savages who were stealing copper ore.

From here, they appeared completely defenseless. If Xu Xuan were to charge out, these savages would surely suffer heavy casualties.

But after hearing Xu Xuan's analysis, Su Daji realized this might be a trap.

Her small body darted through the grass, and eventually, she detected some clues.

On the surface, the plains were calm and quiet.

When Su Daji passed through the dense forest behind, she found tens of thousands of soldiers lying in ambush. In this area alone, there were likely tens of thousands of savage troops hidden.

Their weapons were a mixed bag; some held bamboo spears—simply sharpened bamboo—which were very poor-quality weapons.

There were also regular troops armed with bronze spears, shields, and bronze shortswords.

This group looked like a mixture of primitive people and early civilizations.

What did this mean? It meant these soldiers came from different lords, as the emblems on them were all different.

A fierce light flashed in Su Daji's eyes as she communicated with Xu Xuan through her thoughts.

[Su Daji: My King, you were right! The enemy is indeed prepared. There are many savages from different tribes lying in ambush here.]

[Su Daji: And it's not just one group; there seem to be people in the woods on the other side as well!]

Upon receiving Su Daji's message, Xu Xuan, sitting in the bath, gradually took on a solemn expression.

These audacious fools actually wanted to lure him into battle and then use an army of tens of thousands, or even a hundred thousand savages, to ambush him.

If he were truly off guard and walked into their trap, even ten Divine Generals wouldn't be able to turn the tide.

Divine Generals were only relatively invincible, not immortal. If they took enough damage, they would still die.

Fortunately, he was clear-headed and knew that if the enemy dared to occupy his territory, they must have come prepared. He hadn't let his blood boil over this.

Meanwhile, Su Daji continued her investigation. Soon, the sneaky little fox crept into a camp within the dense forest.

The camp was well-camouflaged, built with leaves and ropes; it was hidden so well in the woods that one wouldn't notice it without looking closely.

As Su Daji poked her head out to quietly observe the people in the camp, she heard them discussing something.

The korean who had invaded Xu Xuan's territory, Kim Yong-jun, sat on a straw mat, flanked by a group of japanese people sitting in a kneeling position.

In this camp, the lords from Japan and South Korea were split almost evenly, numbering at least a hundred.

The leader, Kim Yong-jun, spoke up: "It's been over an hour. Why hasn't Xu Xuan come yet?"

Then, a Japanese lord said with a stiff face, "I'm afraid that Xu Xuan has seen through our scheme."

They were discussing, unaware that Xu Xuan was watching this meeting on his virtual screen through Su Daji's vision.

He didn't know this Japanese lord, but Xu Xuan had seen his name before.

Takeshita Asuka, a remnant of the Tokugawa Alliance!

Kim Yong-jun was a bit indignant: "Are you kidding me? Is he a God of War or something? To see through our plan and know we're lying in ambush here?"

Having never fought Xu Xuan, Kim Yong-jun didn't believe Xu Xuan was that legendary—that he could just see through their provocation and know they were luring him in.

Kim Yong-jun gritted his teeth and began to grumble: "Aish! We spent so much effort preparing for half the day, and he's just not coming?"

"I dug so many traps around here, and prepared a bunch of Chevaux-de-frise and ballistae. It wasn't easy for me to get those ballistae, and I'm just waiting for Xu Xuan to walk right into them."

"Shibal, is this bastard really as legendary as you say?"

This 1.9-meter-tall Kim Yong-jun with a buzz cut was full of 'Shibal' curses and looked manic. It couldn't be helped; this was the Hwabyeong symptom unique to koreans—their ethnic group was born with a tendency toward mania.

Takeshita Asuka appeared very calm as he began to analyze: "Based on my experience from fighting Xu Xuan many times—though I've lost every single time—I can conclude that Xu Xuan already knows about our plot!"

Kim Yong-jun's brow furrowed: "Then what? We've prepared for so long, and they're not coming?"

The Takeshita Asuka before him looked composed and said very calmly, "The lords of our two nations joined forces specifically to deal with that war maniac Xu Xuan. If he doesn't come, we can just mine the ore in this area, grow our strength, and take back the resources that belong to us!"

While they conspired, the little fox Su Daji, hiding in the grass, had a strange smile on her face.

[Su Daji: My King, I have a way to make them kill each other.]
