Divine Brilliance Chapter 668

Chapter 669 - Troops At The Back

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

“General Zong and General Ren are both Unparalleled Famous Generals. Even in Great Shang, they could be Commanders and might even be made a Marquis. However, it was the Ruler’s blessing for them to be willing to serve Gantian…”

Kong Yao’s eyes flashed, filled with many emotions.

She didn’t expect that Ren Tianxing would fight this battle to such a level.

She also didn’t understand why such a talent would be willing to come to such a secluded land like Donglin?

No matter where he was, such a talent would have a great future.

Did Zong Shou really have some special charm? Such that all these talents were willing to listen to his orders?

A moment later, the situation below changed.

Right in the middle, the Night Demon Army stopped blocking the attacks of those 100,000 Red Amored Soldiers.

Many of them retreated from the front and lined up 10,000 feet at the back.

Not long later, a really wide and firm formation was spread out. Two wings spread out in a concave moon shape. They were showing signs of pincering the hundreds of thousands of Ren Tianxing’s troops.

It was also the same case on the side of Zong Yuan and the 500,000 Night Demons. They weren’t anxious to help their other race members and their formation was really orderly as they pressed over.

There was also another 100,000 who were carefully covering the retreat path of the Red Armored Cavalry.

Kong Yao frowned, her eyes filled with unwillingness, “There are some talents there too…”

Decisively cutting their own meat to prevent the situation from getting worse. Such decisiveness could only be built up from years on the battlefield.

Actually during these three months they were already really clear about the commanding ability of the Night Demon Generals.

So from the start Kong Yao didn’t have any hope of crushing them at once.

If the enemy was so easy to handle, then she wouldn’t need to use those various methods to force Prince Jia Mingluo to fight to the death with her here.

As expected, after Ren Tianxing crushed the enemy at the front, they stopped chasing.

They formed up once more and warily looked at the enemy retreat.

They backed off to the destroyed stone castle and then stopped.

It was the same on the side of Zong Yuan. The Iron Cavalry trampled over and collected tens of thousands of Night Demons. He also stopped whilst he was up, turning around and retreating back to their original position.

Although the Night Demons suffered a loss of 130,000 they still had the advantage.

However, it wasn’t that their attacks were of no use at all. Although they didn’t crush the enemy, they drained their enemies’ morale!

Since the sky turned dark, they were on the back foot against the Night Demon attacks. It made one slowly numb, seeking death in despair.

However, this small victory seemed to have made all the soldiers beneath the mountain see some hope.

So this Night Demon Army could be beaten and weren’t invincible!

So they could fight back! Gantian Mountian army had strong Generals like Ren Tianxing and Zong Yuan!

If they persisted who knows if they would be able to win and be able to live…

The opposite side was evidently more careful in using troops. Looking down from the peak, he could see more troops being shifted over from the two wings.

They placed a full 600 10,000 men formations in the middle.

It caused the pressure on the two wings to instantly relax.

Ren Tianxing was unafraid. The 500,000 Red Armored Warriors still lined up after the ruins, their aura like that of a mountain which stood tall!

Zong Shou took in a deep breath. With Ren Tianxing’s ability, he should be able to defend till the sun rises.

At that time they wouldn’t be able to lose. It would be whether they win more or win less…

However, what was next would be the battle of attrition, the most cruel part.

The Night Demon Main General took a little loss just now and wouldn’t underestimate Ren Tianxing.

This mountain would become a meat grinder!

Just as his brow furrowed, there was suddenly a ripple in the night sky. A talisman sped through the air.

The guards nearby all nervously turned around and looked at it.

Zong Shou’s eyebrows rose up as he looked over. When the talisman entered his eyes he wasn’t surprised, just slightly startled.

He waved his hands to tell the people around to not need to be wary. He reached out and grabbed it. Sending his Spiritual Sense in, he knew that it was from Common People’s Path Head Fangwen.

It just talked about concern for his safety and that they were unable to be totally relaxed about this battle.

7,000 Common People Mysterious Dragon Warriors had already rushed over to Huizhou and could rush over at any moment to help him.

But, something unexpected happened. After Seven Cloud Mountain, there were another bunch of troops lying in wait. However, looking at its scale, it was even stronger than these 7,000 Dao Soldiers of the Common People’s Path.

At this moment, they were restricting one another and couldn’t help him much.

The final part of the talisman wrote: You are in a killing trap, be careful! If the situation gets dire, just try to live!

Zong Shou’s eyebrows rose up as he felt warm inside.

Although they were unable to assist, he could feel the concern of this Common People’s Palace Head from the talisman.

Kong Yao noticed something wasn’t right, her brow furrowing, “Did something happen?”

“There’s no need to bother, it is just a small matter!”

Zong Shou scoffed coldly, lightly closing his fists and smashing the talisman.

There were only a few sects who could easily bring out an equal scale of Dao Soldiers as Common People’s Path.

Apart from Tailing and Yuanshi, it would be the Five Vast Habitats along with Great Shang which spanned 10 states!

Zong Shou too lazy to bother about where this cavalry came from. He stood against a mountain and was high up. He could clearly see any movement within 3,000 miles. With the Illusionary Heart Mirror in his hands, he wouldn’t need to worry about being charmed by illusions.

No matter what this bunch of Grade-6 Dao soldiers were planning, it didn’t matter.

He felt a cold and dark feeling in his heart. They didn’t tell him about it and didn’t have intentions of going all out with the Night Demons.

He knew what these people were planning! They really wanted him to die!

Speaking of which, Fangwen didn’t worry about the tough situation of Common People’s Path, pulling 7,000 Dao Soldiers at once. Even if he thought that he would definitely lose, it was a generous act…

Just at that moment, a laugh spread into his ears, “It is indeed a small matter to Ruler. As long as this battle is dragged to noon, all plots will be like snow in summer.”

As he said that, the person sighed, “People all think that Gantian Mountain will definitely lose this time. However, I know that there is no way you will lose now. Ten days ago, my Palace Head was nearly tempted to join hands to split Donglin. Luckily, he wasn’t as rash as before and didn’t make that decision. Instead, he sent me over to watch personally…”

The voice was really sudden, out of nowhere appearing in his ears.

What was weird was that, apart from Kong Yao, no one picked it up.

Zong Shou’s heart tensed up and he turned back, only to see that the person behind him was really familiar. He remembered that when he was rushing back to Gantian Mountain from the east of Donglin he had met him once before.

His words made one’s heart jump. Zong Shou’s mood sunk, impassively saying, “So it is Villa Head Yan!”

The person in front of him was Yan Fan. Who knows when he appeared behind Zong Shou?

At this moment, he looked toward Kong Yao, “Ruler has really good eyes, Yan Fan is impressed! The people only think of General Kong as someone who is a General who couldn’t be successful. Who knew that once she led an army, she would be so strong. Using mirage to break the enemy, what great thinking. Only Yan Fan from yesterday didn’t think that Ruler would be able to last til noon…”

His eyes flashed weirdly as he looked at the area at the foot of the mountain.

Everyone heard about Zong Yuan and his achievements. Everyone knew about his talents years ago.

Who knew that Zong Shou actually had Ren Tianxing!

Looking at how he used troops, he was most probably another Unparalleled General Seed!

After saying so much, Zong Shou’s heart calmed down. At least this person didn’t have any negative intent.

As expected, Yan Fan’s tone changed, “Congratulations Ruler! After this battle, Gantian Mountain can at least obtain 1.2 million Elite troops! It might be possible to conquer Alien Worlds!”

…They were elite troops! After going through such battle and being suppressed by the strong troops of the Night Demon race, those who survived wouldn’t be weaker than the million he left over at Gantian.

Looking out at the entire Cloud World, they were all top class troops!

They could smash Elites and also be as firm as boulders.

Most of the people here weren’t more than 40. Once the Spiritual Wave rose, who knows how many of these soldiers would grow. It was possible to have Grade-6 Martial Ancestors and even Grade-7 Ascended Ancestors.

If they were loyal, they would be the spine and pillar of Gantian Mountain!

Kong Yao listened on. When she heard this, her eyes were filled with rage as she stared coldly.

Such Elite troops were not bad, but they could only be molded from such cruel killing.

Out of the two million here, it would be great if half of them could survive.

She would rather not have them if it was possible!

As a commander, if she didn’t care about all this and if she didn’t cherish the lives of her soldiers, she would not be far from losing.

Today, she just had no choice.

Yan Fan was startled and then laughed awkwardly, “I shouldn’t have said that! I have no other meaning but I have high hopes for Ruler conquering the outer regions.”

He tensed up and said seriously, “The Daoists are backing out! My Sword Sect wants 25% of all earnings!”

He had an anxious feeling in his chest. If he gave up this time, the Sword Sect would definitely regret it!
