Chapter 551: Betrayal at the front of the formation

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Only to see the opposite of them, the ten thousand man square formation of Gantian Mountain suddenly retreated a full 700 feet.

It looked as though they were trying to avoid the attacks of the Elite Dao Soldier Calvary, thus they began to form a formation. However, it was vaguely exposing one side of the wings.

“To think someone like Qiuwei who is a Left Pillar’s great general of Gantian Mountain would actually make such a mistake during a war…”

Xiongyu felt disbelieved, she only had one thought in her head. It wasn’t joy or excitement, she just found it really weird and uneasy.

During these seven days she had crossed swords several times with Qiuwei and they fought tens of battles.

She was really clear about the ability and skill of this person, as expected from the general that Zong Weiran chose!

Maybe he might not be able to be compared to those art of war geniuses but he was extremely calm and careful. He was stable when he used troops and it was tough for one to find a chance to take advantage of.

The situation today was simply too weird. Did he slip up? Or did he leave any further methods?

“For what reason did they back off for? Oh? It seems like a weakness, did he slip up…”

“What a great chance! If we charge at the left wing now we will definitely be able to crush it! Hey! This Qiuwei is indeed a great general, during these seven days he had defended really well. However today, for once, he was so careless, but it would cause the million Gantain Mountain troops to be all buried here!”

“No, there’s something suspicious about this matter!”

At this moment at both sides sat various city lords, most of them were people skilled at the art of war. Some of them told her not to be rash and to wait and see whilst some said that she should instantly attack; a chance that is lost won’t return.

Xiong Yu was also the same, however, in the next instance she saw that the situation changed. Another ten thousand men square formation stepped out from the opposite army.

A bright glow flashed in the eyes of Xiongyu, in the next instance her questions totally disappeared.

“This is the Gantian Mountain Wind Splitting Mo Knife Soldiers, Iron Tiger Great Halberd Warriors, and Wind Bear Mountain Splitting Warriors; the true essences of Gantian Mountain!”

“So that is the case, to use these elites to replace and head right for the opponent elite cavalry? No wonder!”

“City lord Xiong! A chance in the war would disappear if one misses out on it, we can’t…”

Before this person finished, Xiong Yu stood up and said decisively, “Send my orders, the dao soldiers of Lingyun, Mysterious Cloud Spirit and Daoming Sects will strike, stabbing in from the left wing. Strike the center of the enemy and pierce right through it!”

At this moment pretty much everyone got excited. The victory was in front of their eyes. Once this place was crushed by them, Gantian Mountain would have no chance of recovering.

They could head forward, right into the core area where Gantian Mountain ruled!

Xiong Yu’s voice continued, trembling a little, “Order the troops to push forwards! Tear apart the enemy formation for me! We must completely annihilate the enemy forces opposite us…”

When this order was given, one could see that those five thousand elite cavalries had already started moving. The beasts had slowly sped up and have started to gallop.

Just like what she ordered, to directly charge towards the empty spot which the left wing had exposed! The other army square formations braved the arrow rain of the Gantian Mountain army and walked forwards.

More than twenty army towns of Cloud Saint City followed behind those five thousand Dao Soldiers Elite Cavalry at the quickest speed. They suppressed towards the center forces of the Gantian Mountain army, their movements were the quickest.

In that instance, many people on the commander platform all held their breaths. Waiting for the Dao Soldier Elite Cavalry to crush the center troops of Gantian Mountain.

Xiong Yu couldn’t help but stood right up, her fists clenched tight. Her jade face flushed red, the corner of her eyes also twisted, revealing an unusual viciousness. She was distracted, pretty much losing herself.Read latest chapters at NovelFull

How could she not be emotional? How could she not be delighted? The millions of elites that Zong Shou personally built up would be entirely destroyed in her hands!

Blazing Flame Mountain would not only regain their lost land but also expand and open new ones.

In just a few more days, Gantian Mountain would completely disappear. Following which the one who rules Donglin would only be her, Xiongyu, and the Blazing Flame Mountain’s Blazing Xiong race!

The moment these thoughts rose in his head, Xiongyu heard an exclamation rise by her ear.

“Something isn’t right!”

Turning around her head, the one who spoke was Zu Renkuang who hadn’t made a sound, allowing her to command everything. At this moment his brows frowned like he was worried about something.

Xiong Yu instantly broke out into a laugh, the battle today was won simply too easily, no wonder this great senior master would be like that.

Even her, she felt uneasy before this. Before she made the orders, she had carefully considered the pros and cons and didn’t feel that anything was inappropriate. Even if Qiuwei purposely did that, she was confident enough to smash this trap head on!

Only in the next instance he heard Yan Feibai suddenly open his mouth, his brows showing that he was filled with doubt, “I am not well versed in the art of war, however looking at the way the Cloud Saint city soldiers are moving, they are too quick. Their formation is also a little inappropriate…”

The moment these words were said out, it instantly caused the people here to shudder in shock. A lightning shock seemed to reverberate throughout their hearts.

Looking forwards, as expected they felt that Xu Zhengyuan’s arrangements were a little weird.

The true elites were at the back, there was also a full forty thousand cavalry who were arranged on the left wing.

More crucially was the twenty-seven ten thousand men square formations, they were simply too close to those five thousand dao solders on full speed charge.

Before this they didn’t find anything weird about it, just that Xu Zhengyuan wouldn’t dare to betray them at such a time.

However what if…

As for what would happen, Xiongyu didn’t even dare to think about it. Right as she was about to give an order, a wave of arrows rose amongst the twenty-seven ten thousand men formation of Cloud Saint City.

Where the arrows landed at wasn’t at the opposite Gantian Mountain soldiers, but the five thousand dao soldiers!

“These are Spirit Smashing Arrows!”

“Why would Cloud Saint City have such items?”

Xiong Yu’s face was ashen white, these grade-3 Spiritual Arrows were only produced by Kongqi Sect.

Why would Cloud Saint City have such items?

… If these two hundred thousand Spiritual Arrows landed, even if those five thousand dao soldiers were all Xiantian Realm and above, they would all suffer heavy casualties!

Then her pupils constricted, the forty thousand cavalries suddenly increased their speeds to the maximum as they charged forwards. That direction was the back of the dao soldiers! Killing intent surging up into the clouds!

Striking from the back, pretty much sweeping out towards the 5 thousand elite cavalries, trying to drown them out!

All of a sudden Xiong Yu felt her hands turn cold, her heart sinking to the bottom.

So that was the case. Arranging the elites behind wasn’t to conserve strength but to defend the backline. The cavalry was arranged on the left so to strike those Elite Dao Soldiers!

However why did Xu Zhengyuan betray them? Why would he betray them? The Donglin Sects were about to win so why would Xu Zhengyuan take up such a risk?

A series of questions rose on her head. At this moment, everyone to her right and left was all devoid of blood.

Zu Renkuang had an ashen white face. The eyes of the grade-7 spirit master behind her who spoke were about to pop out from their sockets in rage.

At this moment no one raised the matter of recalling the dao soldiers back.

Everything was too late! They could only wait quietly for the results. If they could pierce through the formation of Gantian Mountain, they might have a chance to live…

At this moment to retreat back then they might not even have this bit of chance to live.

Hong!

After a bunch of beasts died, a series of weapons and armor clashing sounds exploded out on the battlefield.

First it was the two hundred thousand spiritual arrows packed closely as they landed down behind the dao soldier cavalry where their defenses were the weakest.

Between a few breaths, close to a thousand people fell off from their horses.

Following which, forty thousand cavalries chased from behind. Just as these three thousand elite cavalries were being slightly blocked by the few ten thousand men square formations, the forty thousand cavalries caught up.

Instantly numerous elite cavalries fell off their horses. These people were Xiantian and could usually exchange one life for three or four.

However there was nothing interesting before they were drowned by the Gantian Mountain infantry troops as well as Cloud Saint City cavalry pincer, all of them dying one by one!

Those four thousand Mo Knife Warriors, four thousand Iron Tiger Great Halberd Warriors, three thousand Wind Bear Mountain Splitting Warriors; at this moment they strongly suppressed over. Waving their mo knives, large axes and halberds, they all slashed in an orderly manner. No one was able to last a moment in front of them.

In just a few minutes, those five thousand elite cavalries were all totally wiped out, unable to cause any waves at all. No one was able to flee, even the 2 grade-7 cultivators leading were nowhere to be seen.

In that short time, the Gantian Mountain army opposite had already changed their formations, from defense to attack as they headed for the direction of the Thousand City Alliance’s main force. The various city’s alliance army to the sides of the Cloud Saint City was instantly crushed as they ran away crazily.

At this moment on the battlefield, apart from that rushing-like footsteps thundering, it was deathly silent.

Xiong Yu only felt her limbs go completely numb, her mind was at a loss. At this moment she couldn’t believe what was happening in front of her.

Five thousand elite troops were wiped out just like that? Without these elite cavalries in battle, how would she be able to face the Gantian Mountain army?

Not to mention attacking or even defending. At this moment she didn’t dare to even say whether or not she could manage to defend. Had she already lost today?

Those five thousand elite dao soldiers had fallen so how would she answer to the Donglin Sects?

Did Xu Zhengyuan go crazy? To do such dumb matters?

Zu Renkuang’s face turned from green to purple, his eyes turning red as he hollered, “Xu Zhengyuan! My Lingyun Sect will take your life for revenge! One thousand disciples, you will pay this blood debt in full!”

Opposite them spread out Xu Zhengyuan’s maniacal laugh, “Blood debt payment? Great, I am looking forward to it!”

Xiong Yu was so furious that her entire body was shaking. It was originally a winning situation but now there were signs of it becoming a huge defeat.

“Xu Zhengyuan! I think that you are really crazy! Zong Shou would definitely fall on Mysterious Cloud Mountain, Gantian Mountain is also about to fall. Aren’t you afraid that our Donglin Sects will wipe out the old and young of your Xu family? Even if Zong Shou miraculously doesn’t die, do you think our Lingyun Sect can’t destroy your small Cloud Saint City lord?”

The person who spoke was that grade-7 spirit master behind Xiong Yu. He used spells to project his voice such that it could be heard within a hundred miles.

“Crazy? Or are you really insane! Lingyun Sect wasted one of my arms, nearly causing my entire family to fall apart. During these days I nearly went met, these thoughts are etched deep in my heart!”

As Xu Zhengyuan finished, he laughed again, “It is up to you if you want to wipe out my Xu family! Only after today would you have such ability? Do you really think that you won? My ruler is intelligent and capable, the things he planned out are definitely not what the likes of you can imagine.”
