Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
When Zong Yuan picked up the item, he recognized right away that one set of armor was the blood cloud cavalry armor that was bought that day.
For the other spear and armor, the moment it entered his hands, it felt really familiar like it was connected to him by blood. Without a doubt, it was a grade 5 spiritual artifact.
He was startled, a bit of anxiousness reappearing in his eyes. Zong Shou shook his head slightly, “you don’t have to look at me. This was left by my father in the Sanlu Bank. They were actually all lightning element, so most probably, they were left for you.”
Zong Yuan was instantly touched, his eyes glowed for a while before it dimmed once more.
Zong Shou smiled, picking up the talisman brush, around the soul word on his head, he drew another talisman. He let Zong Yuan wear the 2 sets of armor after it covered his neck.
The grade 5 spiritual armor was actually a soft armor to be worn inside. The blood cloud armor was worn on the outside. Along with the golden thread gloves Zong Shou got a month ago, wearing that armor, he also rode on the dragon horned winged horse which was fully equipped in horse armor that the Kongqi Sect gave that day.
His entire being, along with the horse, looked like they were smelted from iron and steel. His aura also became much colder, making one feel a chill when one looked on.
On the head of the horse was also a talisman. Zong Yuan sat on it and actually felt mentally connected. There was no sense of inharmony. Only then did he realize that the talisman on his head was to make it easier for him to control the mount under him.
Zong Shou observed once more and ordered Zong Yuan to stab out with his spear. He estimated that his strength was around 750 kilograms before running his chin in satisfaction, “That’s about it. You will be in charge of commanding the troops to charge through the formation.”
The surrounding people were shocked when they heard that, and Tan Tao was astonished, straightening his back right away and looking over in disbelief. He originally thought that there would be no one else but him to be chosen to lead the formation.
Even Zong Yuan tilted his head, his eyes in shock as he looked out from the armor.
“I’m not sending you to die. Out of all the people, you are the only person I can control. You are my puppet and should know how to cooperate with me...”
Seeing the gazes of the people around calm down in enlightenment. Zong Shou shook his head,” However, whether or not you can live depends on you yourself. If you have no fighting spirit, we are going to lose this battle. Actually, this is a chance for you. Be it to get out of my control or to try to take revenge. If you don’t work hard how would you know what the outcome would be?”
Zong Yuan’s body evidently jolted, his eyes deep in thought. However, Tan Tao was still filled with worry. The military war was different from normal battles. Even if Zong Shou’s Sword path was one with the spirit. In such a military war, he would be totally useless.
Fighting against one and against ten thousand were 2 totally different things.
For example, Xuanyuan Tong and Hu Qianqiu were pretty much no one in Donglin Cloud Continent that could defeat these 2. As long as these 2 people were sent, there would be no chances of defeat.
In the past, when Zong Weiran went to war he was just at the peak of the martial ancestor. However, he relied on a thousand randomly gathered cavalry to win battle after battle. Even against an army ten times their number they managed to massacre them.
With the precedence of this monster king, there seemed to be a winning chance even when they were fighting one against a hundred. However, Zong Weiran’s opponents were just random troops meshed up from many different cities, totally different from the elites of Yunxia and Blazing Flame Mountain. Moreover, there were several Xuanwu ancestors on the opposite side.
Zong Shou didn’t bother about the 2 of them, making some arrangements before stepping into the carriage. The thousands of cavalry also quietly rode on their war horses. Zong Yuan didn’t speak, riding on that dragon horned winged horse and arrived in front of the cavalry army.
The few thousand strong cavalry armies were filled with a killing aura. Although these Xuan Mountain City people had the heart of fighting to the death here, they didnt have the determination to. They would occasionally look coldly at the carriage. This young city lord was really fooling around, going head-on against hundred times their number. To face death head-on, was he really treating the enemy as dirt?
However, they didn’t dare to oppose the order, treating it as them following this dumb young city lord into his grave in return for Zong Weiran’s kindness and help in the past. However, even if they were going to die, they were going to pull 1-2 people down with them.
“Hehe! It is mentioned in military books that when the army has no will to fight, there would be no chance. It is probably describing such a situation right?”
Zong Shou sat next to the window, smiling as he looked towards the outside. He spoke whilst helping Ruo Shui with acupuncture. As expected Xuanyuan Yiren’s pills were useful. Although it didn’t truly cure the root course it was showing signs of improvement. At this moment, after days of blood changing, the venom in her body had reduced by 30%.
“If things go wrong, the moment they got onto the battlefield they would collapse. That would be bad. Ruo Shui, are you from the sky fox bloodline?”
“My mother is a shadow fox, I am mixed blood.”
Ruo Shui looked worryingly towards Zong Shou, seeing that he didn’t have a weird expression, she heaved a sigh of relief.
The Monster race fox race cared most about bloodline. People like Zong Shou who inherited a noble human race blood could be barely accepted. Who knows. In the future, it might bring some benefits to the bloodline of the race.
But the shadow fox was a really mixed bloodline.
“No wonder you have the ability of hiding and invisibility.”
Zong Shou pulled out the last needle and let Ruo Shui consume a pill before saying expressionlessly, “On the battlefield, killing aura charges into the heavens. The spirit master on their side definitely has to set up spell altars far from the battlefield. No matter what method you use, within 6 hours try to reduce the spells that they can cast.”
The current Ruo Shui had the ability to go all out for 8 hours. She was stronger than him, but there was a limit to how strong she was.
Ruo Shui didn’t say anything, directly jumping out of the window. Her body floating like a fairy as she flew into the forest and disappearing into it.
These 4 thousand cavalries were truly the elites of Xuan Mountain City. They traveled at a moderate speed, conserving their strength and horse stamina. 30 miles was covered in 2 hours.
At this moment it was close to noon, the sun blazing in the sky. The camp opposite them had spread out. Squads of soldiers lined up as they came out. With orderly footsteps, they walked out of the camp. With 5 thousand people as a square formation, a full 60 squares were lined up 10 miles away. There was also a hundred thousand cavalries split into the two sides, their horse hooves rumbling like thunder. Sounds of armor fragments clashing filled the ear.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers were like one body, their aura like that of a majestic mountain. Looking out from afar, one could only see a huge piece of black human heads.
All Zong Shou could hear was the sound of inhaling and exhaling. The elites of Yunxia and Blazing Flame Mountain were all well trained.
Once they entered the valley, numerous thunder-like horse hooves sound spread out from behind, making one’s mood sink. As long as one had a brain, one would know that their way out was blocked.
Chuxue was in despair. However, she looked determined at Zong Shou, “Young master, although you are really stupid I won’t blame you. Later Xue’er will definitely die faster than you.”
Zong Shou instantly broke out in a smile, viciously smacking on her head.
The Xuan Mountain cavalry under him had obviously also been through hundreds of wars. Although they knew that they had no chance, they didn’t panic. Under the leadership of Tan Tao, 500 iron tiger halberd warriors and a thousand cavalry turned infantry soldiers all connected the carriages from head to tail into a carriage formation.
The other 3 thousand people, including the thousand mysterious armor wind dragon cavalry all, formed up outside the carriage formation. Their faces were really dark, viewing death as a return back home.
Zong Shou’s carriage was in the middle. A full 49 carriages were connected together. On it, there were many marks that seemed to be carved without any order. However, when they were combined together it actually formed an altar.
Shi Dan was in the middle, Li Luo and Zong Shou protecting his. An 8 talisman return to sun realm spirit master had limited soul power. There were only 4500 people, but they could only get a few buffs before her soul power ran out and she was forced to meditate and recover.
...They were all basic spells, wind speed, Swift shadow and armor breaker, etc. However, the confidence of the thousands of them rose, their morale slightly rising up. Even a little bit of strength increase was very precious.
Li Luo stood on the carriage empty-handed, looking out confidently at tens of miles out. His eyes swept to the side at Zong Shou who was holding a black colored mirror.
He recognized that it was a demon path artifact that could control people from a hundred miles. His brows furrowed and were thinking to herself what confidence does this Gantian Mountain prince have to use these 3 thousand cavalries to face off against 400 thousand?
...
Now, not only Li Luo was curious, but tens of miles away, on a high platform built of thick wood, Feng Yu and Xiong Kui looked over curiously.
“Is this Zong Shou dumb? He actually charged in head first? Even a real fool wouldn’t kill himself like that.”
Xiong Kui suddenly stood up and walked to the side of the wooden platform, “the buy low and sell high done by that kid that day earned him tens of times of profit. I have been reflecting on it these few days and have held him in higher regard. But what is this kid trying today?”
Feng Yu frowned. However, he felt really silly for today’s matter. If he wanted to say that the prince was stupid, he would definitely not have predicted the fall of beast crystals and mind stone prices. If they wanted to say that he was smart, then he still had a death wish. Moreover, if Zong Shou had experts giving him advice, how would he not know that he shouldn’t come to this Ruohai Straits?
Just as he was deep in thought, he saw the mysterious armor wind dragon cavalry army slowly push forwards. From the right, it started to move towards the left.
Feng Yu brows instantly furrowed. After laughing coldly he stood up, “I don’t know why this Zong Shou ran over here. However, the moment the rat falls into the trap, we can’t allow it to run. Order Yang Xuan for the entire left-wing army to strike out, cleanly wipe out these ignorant fools!”
The spirit master, which was wiring beside, immediately responded to the order. A talisman bird shot through the air towards the left of the huge formation. In just a moment, close to 50 thousand iron cavalry on the left-wing whipped their horses and charged forwards.
