This was especially so for the higher-ups of the River Sect. Most of them had already entered the late stage of the Spiritual Body realm, such as Shi Wuque, Wang Xiong, Zhao Kun, Zhao Yanran, Shen Jianchuan, and Lin Fan. These six people had all reached the ninth level of the Spiritual Body realm, and were even at the peak. As long as they had a suitable Battle Soul Inheritance, they could already attempt to enter the True Energy Realm.
Everything seemed to be progressing in a good direction.
However, they received a piece of news not long ago that made the people of the River Sect somewhat unhappy.
Shi Wuque scanned the crowd and said indifferently, "Everyone! We have received a secret report that a group of powerful soldiers from the Celestial Wolf City have come to Fish Dragon Town with a decree. They have already labeled our River Sect as an evil faction and want to harm our River Sect. Why don't you share your opinions? Let's hear them! "
Wang Xiong coldly snorted and said, "The Celestial Wolf Army's commanders are simply ignorant! Ever since our River Sect was established, we have never killed innocent civilians, and we have never delayed paying our taxes. We have only killed a few people when we were annexing other factions. Does the imperial court have to interfere in a faction war? "
Lei Kun chuckled disdainfully and said, "Hehe, so what if they come! I heard that there are only five hundred people coming this time. As long as the Longbow Unit doesn't participate, each of our eight thousand brothers can drown them with a mouthful of spit. "
Shi Wuque glared at him and said, "Lei Kun, how can you be so sure that the Longbow Unit won't participate?"
Lei Kun said casually, "Do you even need to ask? The Longbow Unit's commander is our leader's woman, so she is one of us. Why would she help an outsider? Eh! Leader Zhao, why are you glaring at me? "
"Hmph!"
Zhao Yanran snorted with a cold expression and couldn't be bothered with him.
Everyone held back their laughter as their faces twitched.
Only a fool like Lei Kun would talk about the Gang Leader's other woman without any scruples in front of the Gang Leader's woman.
Over the past few months, there had been a rumor that the commander of the Longbow Battalion had an affair with the leader of the River Sect. Mu Qingxue hadn't stood out to explain, so gradually, everyone believed the rumor.
With Lei Kun's interruption, the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
Shi Wuque coughed lightly and said seriously, "Everyone, although the possibility of the Longbow Unit attacking us is low, we should still be mentally prepared. However, even if the longbow unit did not make a move, the army from Skywolf City was not to be underestimated.
It is said that there are thirteen True Element Realm experts among them. Their leader, Jin Fei, is a late-stage True Element Realm expert. Even their ordinary soldiers are above the sixth level of Spirit Body. If we were to fight outside the fort, our River Sect would have no chance of winning.
Fortunately, the outer walls of the Great River Fort have been completed, and we have just exchanged for a large number of defensive heavy weapons from the Blackwater Alliance. Currently, they are all in place, so it shouldn't be a problem to block the enemy's attack.
However, no matter what, this is a battle that concerns the survival of our River Sect. Everyone must be alert and give it your all! "
After he finished speaking, Shi Wuque realized that his words were in vain. None of the big shots present took his words seriously.
Wang Dakuan said excitedly with a smirk, "Thirteen True Element Realm experts? Hehe, it seems that the things we got from the Blackwater Alliance can be put to good use this time. "
"Hahaha! Don't scare those guys away. "Lei Kun laughed loudly.
Everyone nodded, their eyes flashing with excitement, as if they were eager to give it a try.
Shi Wuque didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This was a war, and it was against the Imperial Court. Couldn't everyone be more serious?
He then looked at Zhao Yanran, thought for a while, and said, "Leader Zhao, go look for Green Horn … Forget it, don't look for it. I don't think it will be useful anyway."
"Reporting —"
A member of the Dark Hall rushed into the main hall and knelt down on one knee. "Reporting to the Deputy Faction Leader and Hall Leaders. The army from Sky Wolf City has left the Longbow Battalion and is heading toward our Great River Castle!"
"They are still here!"
A cold glint flashed across Shi Wuque's eyes. He ordered, "Pass down the order! All the combat personnel in the sect are to gather at the Great River Castle and prepare for battle! "
…
Jin Fei led five hundred elite Sky Wolf Army troops. They came in a menacing manner, and their marching speed was extremely fast. In just an hour, they arrived outside the Great River Castle.
However, when Jin Fei saw the 30-meter tall, majestic city wall that stretched for more than 10 miles, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"F * ck! How could a small sect in the countryside build such a majestic fortress? It seems that the River Sect is after something big. They are indeed up to no good! Eh? Why are there armored soldiers? Are they from the Longbow Battalion? "
He took a closer look and saw that every few meters beside the arrow stacks on the wall, there was a fully armored soldier holding a strong bow. In terms of equipment, they were no different from the soldiers of the Longbow Battalion.
A middle-aged general stepped forward and smiled respectfully. "Commander Jin, those aren't our Longbow Battalion's soldiers. They are Lin Xuan's private soldiers. Those armors and equipment should have been taken from the dead Xue Datong.
However, they are just monkeys without strict training and don't have much combat power. Compared to the elite Sky Wolf troops, they are just a bunch of chickens and dogs. "
Jin Fei patted that person's shoulder and laughed heartily. "Hahahaha! Well said! Ling Yue, I think you are the only one in the entire Longbow Battalion that I think highly of!
After this mission is over, I will ask the General to get rid of that b * tch Mu Qingxue. The future of the Longbow Battalion will be in the hands of an experienced and wise person like you! "
"Thank you for your support, Commander Jin!"
Ling Yue's eyes lit up as he thanked Jin Fei gratefully. He was overjoyed.
Ling Yue was the deputy commander of the Longbow Battalion and one of Mu Qingxue's assistants.
Mu Qingxue had ordered the men of the Longbow Battalion to be on standby in the camp. Ling Yue couldn't mobilize anyone, so he joined the Sky Wolf troops himself. He hoped to establish a relationship with the important people of Sky Wolf Town and rise to a higher level in the future.
Now, it seemed that he had made the right bet. As long as the River Sect was eliminated, he would definitely be rewarded.
Jin Fei was only temporarily stationed in the Longbow Battalion and would definitely return to Sky Wolf City in the future. When that time came, once Mu Qingxue left, wouldn't he have the final say in the Longbow Battalion and the entire Fish Dragon Town?
Ling Yue's little abacus crackled as he looked forward to the future.
He rolled his eyes and respectfully offered a plan again. "Commander Jin, in my humble opinion, the River Sect has been established for less than half a year and is not stable internally. The loyalty of the sect members isn't high either. As long as you spread the news and allow them to be recruited, there will definitely be many people willing to offer the city. When that time comes, we will be able to take down the Great River Castle effortlessly!"
"Hahahaha!"
Jin Fei laughed maniacally in disdain and said proudly, "There is no need to recruit them! They are just a bunch of ants. Even if their numbers aren't small, how can they stop the ferocious army of my Sky Wolf Army? What's more, if we recruit these useless people, how can we help the General vent his anger? Today, I want this Dajiang Castle to be completely annihilated, and not a single tile will remain! "
"This …"
Ling Yue's expression changed as he stopped talking.
