The Great Battle Begins
The vast army entered the Heaven Fiend Mountain Range from the mountain path in an orderly manner like ants, frantically gathering towards the Misty Clouds Sect. This was an unavoidable battle, and it was also the first time the Four Sect Alliance and the Assassination Guild would meet face to face.
"An army of three hundred thousand to attack the Misty Clouds Sect. How impressive." There was a total of thirty branch presidents among the three hundred thousand troops of the Assassination Guild. Most of them were at the ninth level of the Martial Ancestor Realm. The leader of the branch president was a cultivator at the peak of the ninth level of the Martial Ancestor Realm. His name was Ma Xuan.
"We still have to be extremely careful this time. This Heaven Fiend Mountain Range seems a little strange." Ma Xuan said calmly as he rode on his horse. After all, they had attacked the Heaven Fiend Mountain Range so many times, only to return empty-handed. They had even suffered heavy casualties.
The Four Sect Alliance even had the leisure to send reinforcements to help the surrounding factions. This was something that he had not expected.
After Number 12 and the other assassins had left the main camp, the army had been handed over to him. Now that he was in command of the three armies, he felt that he should not continue to drag things out.
If the Four Sect Alliance were to unite all the surrounding factions, they would be a force that could not be underestimated.
"Is this the mountain path that killed my thirty thousand troops?" Ma Xuan got off his horse and looked at the towering cliffs on both sides. He raised his hand and signaled for the soldiers to stop in their tracks. "Pass down my orders. Everyone, set up camp!"
"Everyone, set up camp!" After the officer heard Ma Xuan's words, he shouted loudly. His voice passed through the stone walls and echoed throughout the entire mountain path. This densely packed army of three hundred thousand was camped on this mountain path.
However, because this mountain path could only accommodate fifty thousand people, the Assassination Guild's main camp seemed to cover the entire area ten miles away from the mountain path.
"Check the surroundings carefully and see if there are any ambushes!" Ma Xuan said cautiously. It was precisely because of his vigilant personality that he had become the commander of the Assassination Guild's army.
"Yes!" Many assassins from the branch who were dressed in black tight-fitting clothes all disappeared from where they were. They spread out in all directions to check the safety of the surroundings.
At this moment, Guo Zhuyue was standing on the peak of the Misty Clouds Sect. He could see the light of the fire on the mountain path, as well as the dense crowd of people. They were like a school of fish, and it was a daunting sight to behold.
"There are less than two hundred thousand soldiers left in the army, and we still have to send fifty thousand to guard the waterway. If the waterway is taken, we won't be able to fight back when the two armies attack together." Guo Zhuyue frowned in distress.
Originally, they had a total of 300,000 soldiers. Xiao Yin took 10,000, Prince Namgong took 50,000, and there were still 80,000 soldiers scattered throughout the Tian Sha Mountain Range, gathering information about the Assassination Society. Now, there were only 150,000 soldiers left in the camp.
In the eyes of the crowd, it was unrealistic to fight three hundred thousand with one hundred and fifty thousand.
"They don't seem to be in a hurry to attack." He Peijian let out a soft cry of surprise. He also saw that the Assassination Guild's army was only stationed on the mountain road and did not show any signs of wanting to attack.
"It's not that they don't want to attack. The one leading them this time isn't a brute." Guo Zhuyue sighed and shook his head.
The Assassination Society had once lost thirty thousand soldiers to Lin Yun on the mountain road. Ma Xuan, who was leading the army now, would definitely be extremely cautious. This wasn't a good thing for the four sect alliance.
"Let's drag it out for as long as we can. Xiao Yin's direct disciple, Lin Yun, might be young, but he is extremely intelligent. Hold on until he returns. Maybe there will be a way, "He Peijian patted Guo Zhuyue's shoulder to comfort him.
However, they understood that it would take at least a day for Chu Haoyu and the rest to rush to the Heavenly Profound Sect and for Xiao Yin to bring the army back. Would they be able to withstand the attack of the Assassination Society within a day?
"It's windy …" Guo Zhuyue looked at the sky and felt the wind blowing on his face.
The wind was getting stronger.
"Vanguard! Advance! "Ma Xuan ordered the first fifty thousand soldiers to attack.
The war flag fluttered in the wind. The word 'Dark' on it was emitting a faint glow. The sound of the wind was so loud that it almost covered the sound of the hooves of the horses.
"Third team! Defend! " Under Guo Zhuyue's command, thirty thousand cultivators with various elements gathered on the mountain peak at the end of the mountain road.
The mountain peak was located below the Misty Clouds Sect. This was a path that they had to pass to attack the Misty Clouds Sect.
This included Lin Yun's first day in the Misty Clouds Sect. He had gotten Xiao Yin to build a fifty meters long and ten meters tall checkpoint here.
Furthermore, Lin Yun had already ordered people to build more than ten meters tall watchtowers in various places in the Heaven Demon Mountain Range. The soldiers stationed on the watchtowers would take turns to monitor the movements of the Assassination Society.
Guo Zhuyue also took the lead and came to the front of the battlefield. He saw Ma Xuan leading the vanguard to the checkpoint.
Ma Xuan was dressed in a long blue robe. His face was gloomy, and there was an indescribable sharpness on his slender face.
The mountain road could only allow fifty thousand people to pass at the same time. The vanguard that Ma Xuan brought were all cultivators with defensive Martial Souls. They were here to defend against the attacks of the Four Sect Alliances.
"Attack!" Guo Zhuyue did not hesitate at all. He understood the principle of not letting the enemy touch the walls of the checkpoint.
Following Guo Zhuyue's command, the thirty thousand elementalists lit up their colorful Martial Souls at the same time. They lit up the night sky, and the entire mountain road was covered in a strange glow.
"Sky Full of Sparks!"
"Flood the Seven Armies!"
"Lightning Radiance!"
"Thousand Miles of Ice!"
All sorts of elemental Martial Soul techniques were launched towards the fifty thousand vanguard that Ma Xuan had brought with him.
However, Ma Xuan also understood the essence of this battle. He had personally selected these fifty thousand vanguard soldiers with various defensive Martial Souls to defend against the attacks of the Four Sect Alliances.
"Vanguard! Get into formation! " Under Ma Xuan's command, the fifty thousand vanguard soldiers behind him released their Martial Souls in response to the various elemental attacks that were launched towards them from mid-air.
Almost all the Immortal Qi in the Heaven Demon Mountain Range was gathered here. All sorts of shields and walls were set up to protect them from above and in front of them. There were no loopholes at all.
Bang, bang, bang!
Rain poured down, lightning flashed, and sparks filled the air. However, all of these were blocked by the fifty thousand vanguard soldiers of the Assassination Society.
"Aerial army! Attack! " Ma Xuan retreated to the formation of the vanguard soldiers. With a wave of his hand, thirty thousand cultivators from the rear of the mountain road had grown their own wings on their backs.
