[X] Defend the Geomantic Forts (Defensive Mission, Objective: Hold the Line, Defend production students, Survive)
Going with this since I'd be interesting to see CRX fight underground. I figure flight isn't as big an advantage against the flying barbs as some people think. They practice against other fliers all the time.

I hope we bump into our music nemesis and can have another battle of the bands.

Mainly, I want Ling Qi to have a greater context for the conflict that's going on. That means info. This seems like the more informative mission of the two.
Ling Qi's flight, qi drain, grapple arts, CC, spirit CC/grapples, and isolation Domain attacks all lend themselves to capturing enemies, provided she has allied disciple backup. She can also sneak ahead of the assault for intel gathering.
Zhengui is maybe less obviously utilized in this mission, but he should still be able to shelter allied Green forces during the fight. His ability to set up defences anywhere, and being the supporting hardpoint that isn't easily cracked, is valuable. For captures, Hanyi can lure enemies down to the ground where he can bind them with roots. Same thing with Ling Qi driving enemies broken off from the pack down to the ground, or foes flung with the eagle. Dancer CC is more irregular, so not really reliable for this purpose.
Our side-efforts with perception between the talisman we're getting and the HDW modding we're doing could help spying efforts. The broad strokes of what we're doing is kind of thematically linked to mutual/deeper understanding, which could lead to Ling Qi getting more out of the barbarians, but a lot depends on the specifics.

Still, a defense-oriented endurance mission is right up Ling Qi's alley. Zhengui gets very straightforward play here. Cai Renxiang should be fun underground. Enemy Dancers are probably the biggest threat here, and not necessarily something Ling Qi is well-equipped to counter with her relatively modest Perception.
We are getting a talisman and modding HDW this turn though, which could make the difference.
This also seems like the more dangerous mission? All allied forces have a qi disadvantage, there's a stricter cap on higher-realm support, and the enemy is inherently less known and predictable to sect forces. It's a more strategically significant investment of sect resources as well. I'd expect our ranking reward to be greater with this mission, if it's a success.

Barbs give Ling Qi extra "street" rep. They're the more established threat and would feature nicely into the "Make Wang Chao Great Again" campaign.
