Divine Talent Born Mortal

"Dad, I want to go to the border with you this time."

"No, this is not possible, if it were in other times I could accept, but we are at war with neighboring countries and the border is always one of the most dangerous places in wartime."

"I know that dad, but I'll be 16 soon and get in the army too, I want to be close to you in the army, so I better get used to how things are at the border now that it's only a few months to my birthday."

"What you say makes sense, but if something happens to you, your mother will never forgive me, wait until after your birthday and then you can come with me to the border when you join the army."

"But I want to go now to prepare for the future, you know that I can fight very well with swords and a spear and I have a lot of strength, but I've always heard from your friends that without experiencing a real battlefield I never I'll be ready."

"If I go this time I'll just be your son and I can learn a lot and see what a real battlefield is like, but once I get into the army I'll just be another novice soldier and not your son, so I couldn't learn correctly and something can happen."

Zhang Feng had a headache whenever talking to Zhang Yi, he was proud that his son was always that clever and genius since childhood, but it was hard to argue with Zhang Yi about anything.

Zhang Yi was always very polite and calm when arguing with him, and since he was a good-behaved son, Zhang Feng didn't know how to be angry with his son and eventually agreed to do what Zhang Yi wanted.

So the only thing he could do was to have Zhang Yi talk to Mary, so his mother was more likely to deny the things Zhang Yi wanted to do, and if Mary accepted Zhang Yi to do something, it wasn't just his fault anymore something went wrong.

As Zhang Feng hoped, Zhang Yi was also able to convince Mary easily and so would go with him to the border, at which time high-ranking soldiers were allowed to bring the family close to where the battlefield was.

This usually did not happen because the soldiers and generals did not want their family to be endangered, but Zhang Feng was not afraid that Zhang Yi would be injured because he was more skilled than him in fights and if something happened to Zhang Yi it was because the Most of the Allied army had been annihilated.

Even though Zhang Yi suggested that he hide undercover as an ordinary soldier and Zhang Feng accepted, Zhang Yi was highly respected by the other soldiers who were in Zhang Feng's troop and if Zhang Yi appeared he could distract the other soldiers.

So they went discreetly to the fortress, as Zhang Feng had a status similar to the army generals so he could have several benefits that other generals had, but Zhang Feng always rode his horse to the fortress and sometimes he went with the other soldiers to The fortress.

Disguised as an ordinary soldier following Zhang Feng, Zhang Yi was walking after his father, his father wanted Zhang Yi to be on horseback not to tire, but as a cultivator of the mortal tribulation realm and with the eighth realm of refinement not even going around this planet could tire him out.

After spending a few days in Zhang Yi Fortress, he could already know many things that happened at the border, usually many people died at the borders, but with Zhang Feng's care far fewer soldiers died in his troop, only those who did not follow orders and training ended up failing.

Zhang Feng lost his arm in the battle that Zhang Yi remembered the first time because reinforcement was not enough and Zhang Feng refused to withdraw and allow the soldiers to be killed and the territory to be invaded by the barbarians.

Zhang Yi could see that because of the emperor's orders it was not to have any nearby Allied army to rescue Zhang Feng, but one of the Allied generals kept a nearby troop because he could expect something to happen at the border and it was this general who saved his father.

After a few more days Zhang Yi can see that the enemy army is getting closer and closer, yet Zhang Yi couldn't say anything before because his father wouldn't believe him, but with the approaching enemy army, Zhang Feng could find out sooner and prepare for battle before.

"Father, I feel that an enemy army is approaching, I ask you to believe me and send some soldiers to verify this and increase the border defenses."

"What are you saying, Zhang Yi? Are you afraid of being on the border and want the prepared army to invent an invasion of the enemy army? All these years enemies have rarely tried to invade our territory because they know they can't keep that territory for long with our army."

"Believe me, Dad, send some soldiers to check it out on horseback and strengthen your defenses a little bit, you know I never lied or was a coward."

Zhang Feng had to agree that Zhang Yi didn't have to be lying like that, besides, Zhang Yi was never someone to be afraid of and even he was the one who asked to come to the border if an enemy army invaded without them being prepared. his troop would lose the battle and many soldiers could die.

"Fine, I'll send some soldiers to reconnoiter."

Zhang Feng was someone very competent at his job and sent some of the best soldiers in recognition of great horses, he sent the soldiers in different directions through the forest and would make sure any of them could come back showing the report.

Meanwhile using an excuse to simulate Zhang Feng prepared the soldiers to prepare for a border defense war, Zhang Yi was in his tent watching what the reconnaissance soldiers were doing.

These reconnaissance soldiers were reliable men of Zhang Feng and were very competent in their work, the enemy army was confident that they could take Zhang Feng's troops by surprise and so did not bother to guard against opposing soldiers by reconnoitering.

Within hours the reconnaissance troops on horseback could see the enemy army advancing slowly and were surprised, all could return unseen and so Zhang Feng's troops would gain a few days to prepare for war.

Zhang Feng was very surprised when he received the report that the enemies were near the border, it would take just over 1 day of preparation before the slowly moving opposing army arrived, even if it was not possible for the allies to arrive before it was still possible for them to arrive after almost 2 days of the war.

Zhang Feng had already prepared the army for a possible battle and so he just had to get some details right before the opposing army arrived.
