Chapter 900: Yi Yang Group

Order the attacks to commence as soon as Jiao acts.N0v3lTr0ve served as the original host for this chapter's release on N0v3l--B1n.

Sage was with Yating and a large team of strategists gathered around a large War Table. In the center it showed a large map of the whole Dou Kingdom. There were small squares highlighted upon it and lines were drawn out from those squares to form smaller maps around the edges of the War Table. Each of these smaller maps were zoomed in portions of the large map. The giant War Table itself was based around the ancient technology of the sand table enhanced as it became a Magical Tool. Instead of just drawing lines and marks in the sand with sticks, the War Table reshaped the sand on its own, forming accurate topographical maps and small statues to represent the position of different forces or defensive positions.

The Lang Clan had improved upon this table by installing multiple projectors around the outside of the room. These screens blew up the view of each of the smaller sand table battlefields so they could be seen by more people at the same time and in greater detail rather than having a bunch of them crowd around the edge of the table. Those higher in the command chain also had control of their own projectors and could switch around between multiple battlefields or zoom in and out as they needed. For the group of top commanders that were standing next to each other on a raised platform, they had a whole array of projectors showing every battlefield at the same time in addition to their own individual controllable screens.

All of these extra screens truly increased the level of their control over their troops in comparison to other groups, but to Sage it was still lacking. While they could accomplish quite a lot here, they still required a lot of extra hands to relay orders to all the individual units they were commanding and also to coordinate between all the scouting teams. The Observation Airships had War Tablets which they used to mark out all the troops movements and positions they saw from above which was then automatically relayed back to the main War Table. Their orders would also get relayed to these War Tablets to show the exact locations they were supposed to head to. The catch being that there were dozens of operators at the War Table double checking the incoming data for errors and then also sending out the orders from the commanders.

In the Inner World all of these intermediate positions had already been replaced by programs on Bio-Computers. The job being done by these dozen commanders, tens of operators, and hundreds of scouts could be accomplished by a single commander with an Adjutor, communication bugs, and scouting drones. A single Lang Clan member with an Adjutor could have a direct mental link to all of the important data, filtered by importance and relevance by their own preferences and then relayed directly to communication bugs held by every squad leader.

After a few minutes and a few flares of energy and barriers around the compound in front of her, the main gate finally let out a loud creak. It swung open slowly and a team of guards wearing the dark uniforms of the Yi Yang Group and carrying oval shields that were half their height and covered in layered gray scales. They were formed up into shield walls, overlapping the shield of the man to their left and carrying sabers in their right hands. They were arranged six across and three rows deep, completely filling the open gateway. They looked out at the lone woman and her small body. Then there was a garbled shout and they marched out with measured steps. As they marched out their wide brimmed helmets came into view. Each of these helmets had a wide circular brim around it and a point on top. They were vaguely bronze colored and the brims themselves were inscribed with various formations.

Once they stepped outside the front row split in half and took steps to the left and right opening a path between them for the second row. The second row stepped forward and the three guards to either side stepped back towards them, inserting themselves into either end of the shield wall. They marched forward, advancing towards the small woman. Half of them were watching the rest of the terrain for signs of others while the other half were focused upon the woman and her next move. As if to spite them, she didnt bother to move from where she was standing, letting the guards approach her. As the shield wall reached her the third row of troops moved to the sides and extended the wall further. The two ends of the wall moved faster and in just a few seconds formed into a semi-circle around the lone woman. Her only options were to retreat back down the path or get through them.

She shook her head in boredom at the actions of the guards and looked down at her nails. Once they finally formed the semi-circle she yawned, Are you going to come out here or what? All your little tadpoles are here, so come on out toad.

In response to her question, eighteen more of the guards marched out in the same formation as the first and formed into a second row behind the first, with the only difference being that they carried spears instead of sabers.

Come on! Youre so annoying Little Moon!
