Speed was the most important thing in war.
The benefits of having fewer people were obvious at this moment.
Whether it was expenditure or coordination, it would be much simpler and faster.
Therefore, the Sword Sect was the first sect to set foot on the land of the Middle Spirit.
In addition, the Sword Sect's system was simple and straightforward, unlike the upper echelons of other sects, which were like old trees with roots that were complicated and interconnected.
Therefore, after Xie Qingyun, who was the first to arrive at the Middle Spirit Realm, understood the current situation of the Middle Spirit Realm, he made the corresponding tactical arrangements in a short hour.
.....
"Sect Master, when do we move?" Gu Qiu asked the most important question at the moment.
"When the Western Region Torch Dragon and the two Zhongtian Guards arrive at the Middle Spirit Realm." Xie Qingyun replied.
This was not out of Lu Qingshan's expectations.
When he heard from Xie Qingyun that the Western Region Torch Dragon and the two Zhongtian Guards were coming to support the Middle Spirit Realm, he had already guessed when the Sword Sect would move.
This was because the only way to connect the Human Realm to the Middle Spirit Realm was through the Water Changing Platform.
If the Sword Sect sent their army to the front lines before the second wave of reinforcements arrived, wouldn't they be finished if the Demons disregarded the consequences and forcefully broke through the teleportation formation?
At that time, the two teams that had mustered up their courage and determination to support the Middle Spirit Realm could only watch from the other side … It should be called watching the fire from the other side.
The Sword Sect naturally would not allow such a mishap to happen.
Therefore, waiting became inevitable.
.....
"Young Master, how long will it take for the reinforcements from the Candle Dragon Palace and the Da Xia Kingdom to arrive?"
Ever since Lu Qingshan swept through three thousand cultivators outside the North River Pass with a single sword strike, directly taking the three Black Devil Flowers of the Demons and the Demonic Withered Dragon Commander, protecting the North River Pass with a strong stance, and then Xie Qingyun announcing the name of the Young Master to all the cultivators of the Jade Gate Pass, and then Dong Xueying's sword strike when he led the Sword Sect's young and old cultivators to the west, the entire Sword Sect was convinced by this young Young Master.
No one treated him as a mere Semi-god Realm cultivator anymore.
In the Sword Sect, although his status was still inferior to the peak masters, he had long since surpassed most people.
Everyone knew that this young sect master was capable of contending with late-Body Integration cultivators at the very least.
Perhaps his cultivation was not high enough, but since when did a swordsman care about cultivation?
Those who could kill were good sword cultivators.
Lu Qingshan's current position was built on his achievements and achievements. It was incomparably solid.
Therefore, as soon as they left the main building, a group of sword cultivators surrounded them and asked the question that everyone was concerned about.
Lu Qingshan could see the eagerness in everyone's eyes, but he could only shrug helplessly.
Fine, do you think I'm the know-it-all?
He shook his head, "I don't know, but since they have already made such a difficult decision to support the Central Spirits, they definitely won't waste too much time. It should be within one or two days."
Lu Qingshan could understand these two reinforcements, the Jade Forest Guard and the Chang 'an Guard. After all, they were under Xia Hou's control.
As for Xia Rao, she was never a person who cared about the losses of one family. She cared more about the big picture.
On the other hand, Lu Qingshan was very puzzled about Torch Dragon's "Anti-Magic Spirit Reinforcement".
What was it that made Zhu Long dare to risk everything and make such an incomprehensible decision?
Lu Qingshan would definitely not believe that it was just because of hot-bloodedness.
The world of cultivators was not so simple.
Even their Sword Sect had 10,000 years of spiritual inheritance, undefeatable confidence, the unique belief and perseverance of sword cultivators, and the consideration that they could not leave hidden dangers to future generations. All these factors combined to push them to the west.
"Young Sect Master …"
"Young Sect Master …"
The young and old sword cultivators that Lu Qingshan brought with him still had many questions.
Although his position was terrifyingly high, his potential was boundless, and he was a person with an extremely murderous nature, those who did not understand him would stay away from him and think that he was high and mighty, among the disciples of the Sword Sect, there were few who had such concerns.
Among the disciples of the Sword Sect, regardless of their status and cultivation, their relationship had always been very amiable.
This was also a kind of spiritual inheritance of the Sword Sect, so they had endless questions.
Especially the young disciples.
In the first battle of the Middle Spirits, they had sacrificed the most. Firstly, they were not strong enough, and secondly, they were inexperienced.
They were inexperienced because they were still young, and this was a factor that could not be changed by external forces.
However, the strange thing was that their young sect master was only 23 years old this year, younger than all of them.
In terms of inexperience, he should be the one with the least experience. However, how could this young sect master be so skilled in killing people, and his battle techniques were so refined?
Was there some kind of trick or unique experience in this?
Lu Qingshan was momentarily confused.
This was how it was when there were too many people.
One could imagine what kind of situation those great sects were in.
At this moment, Lu Qingshan felt fortunate. Fortunately, their Sword Sect walked the path of the elites in the entire cultivation world. At least relatively speaking, there would be much fewer people.
At this moment, there was movement from the Transportation Formation again, allowing Lu Qingshan to finally get rid of this group of newborn calves.
It was not that he was being secretive, but it was mainly that his experience was not applicable to anyone other than himself.
Lu Qingshan could not possibly tell them that as long as they experienced hundreds or thousands of battles without regard for life and death, even a rookie could become a veteran, could he?
If he said that, the old sect master would probably skin him alive first.
The Sword Sect did not fear death, but they also revered it.
He was a player in his previous life, and could just revive after death, so naturally, he could fight without regard for life and death.
In the arena, he would only lose some assets, so he was even more fearless.
Therefore, he had the experience and awareness of battles between life and death that no other cultivator had.
This was a part of a cultivator's "soft" strength. It could not be seen or touched, but it did exist, and it was extremely important.
.....
In the Transportation Formation, batch after batch of cultivators wearing the same Daoist armor appeared.
They were the Chang 'an Guards and Yu Lin Guards sent by Xia Hou, as well as a Buddhist holy monk from the Western Regions, Monk Chicken Soup.
They were the second batch of reinforcements to arrive at Middle Spirit.
Both the Jade Forest Guards and the Chang 'an Guards were well-trained cultivator legions. Although they were not as disciplined as the mortal armies, they were certainly much more obedient than the cultivators from various sects. As a result, they were able to assemble and move faster.
As for Monk Chicken Soup …
There was nothing much to say.
If one moved alone and did not have to worry about trivial matters, how slow could they be?
Green Brow King personally led the army here, but he handed over the overall command to the Sword Sect without any hesitation.
There was no other reason. The Sword Sect was the strongest, and they were the most convincing.
Moreover, the Sword Sect was the initiator of this expedition to the west.
Of course, the most important thing was that Xia Hou had personally instructed him to cooperate with the Sword Sect before he came.
Green Brow King and Monk Chicken Soup were old acquaintances of Lu Qingshan. Now that they were gathered at Middle Spirit, it must be said that it was fate.
"Green Brow King, Master Abbot." Lu Qingshan greeted the two of them.
Green Brow King nodded slightly, "Seven years ago, when I saw you win the Seven Regions Dao Discussion, I knew that you had a promising future. I didn't expect that in just seven years, you would become a small cultivator in a small border city and become the Dao Sect's young master …"
At this point, Green Brow King was extremely emotional.
If Lu Qingshan had not appeared out of nowhere, then the champion of the first Seven Regions Dao Discussion would have become a traitor of the sect, and the Seven Regions Dao Discussion organized by the Da Xia Kingdom would have become a joke.
When he thought of this, he even felt some gratitude towards Lu Qingshan.
The realm eight holy monk at the side raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He pressed his palms together and said, "When I first met Young Master Lu in the Western Region three years ago, I knew that Young Master Lu was a person with wisdom and would definitely have extraordinary achievements in the future. However, I never thought that Young Master Lu would rise so quickly."
Lu Qingshan did not know whether to laugh or cry at the sudden comparison between the two of them. However, he had to admit that the originally tense atmosphere had indeed eased quite a bit.
"The two of you still have to wait for a while. After the Western Region Torch Dragon arrives, we'll explain the specific plan," Lu Qingshan explained.
The two of them nodded, appearing very reasonable.
Half a day later, the Torch Dragon Hall that rushed over from the Western Region finally arrived.
The reason why they were the slowest was that the Torch Dragon Hall was located in the Western Region and did not set up a large-scale cross-region teleportation formation. First, they had to use the teleportation formation in the Da Xia Kingdom to rush to the Eastern Region, and then go straight to Middle Spirit from Qiu Yan City.
Secondly, as a top sect for spell cultivators, the Torch Dragon Hall did not take the elite route like the Sword Sect. They were closer to the flow of troops and had too many people. They were not as well-trained as the cultivators of the Yu Lin Guards and the Chang 'an Guards, so their movements would always be a little slower. This was inevitable.
The leaders of Illumination Dragon Hall were two Illumination Dragon cultivators who were old but had stagnated in their cultivation for many years.
Apart from that, there was also an old acquaintance of Lu Qingshan, Mo Yan.
It was unknown whether it was fate or coincidence, but in short, the three teams of the Middle Spirit expedition this time all had a deep or shallow relationship with Lu Qingshan.
The situation was urgent and there was no time to waste, so Lu Qingshan only greeted Mo Yan and did not talk much about the past.
.....
This time, everyone was finally here. The Sword Sect did not wait any longer and explained the specific plan. They began to organize the troops and prepare for the army to head to the frontlines.
However, before that, they had to carefully arrange the specific battle method.
Sharpening a knife would not delay the work of cutting firewood.
This was something that had to be coordinated.
Every powerful cultivator had their own unique battle system.
It might not be the best, but it had to be the most suitable for them.
That was because this was something that they had constantly fumbled about in many years of cultivation and battles. If it did not suit them, they would not have lived until now and died in a battle.
However, in a large-scale war between cultivators, most of the battle systems had to be abandoned.
In war, the simplest was the most effective.
The reason was also very simple.
No matter how powerful one's martial arts were, one would still be afraid of a kitchen knife.
Just like an army in the mortal world, in the face of thousands of arrows, there were not many choices that one could make other than raising a shield.
On the battlefield of cultivators, countless cultivators were constantly flying around. The sky was filled with spells, and the aftershocks swept across. It was impossible to go back and forth like a one-on-one duel.
There was no time to test the waters, because one could die at any time. The same was true for one's opponent. Before one could even understand half of the enemy in front of one's eyes, his life would have already been taken away by a flying sword.
Then what?
Then pick a new opponent and test it from the beginning?
That was not realistic.
This was war, not a brothel where a group of good girls lined up for you to touch.
On the battlefield, what a cultivator had to do was to explode with all that he had learned in his life in a few breaths of time.
And this was the strength of a sword cultivator.
Fast! Ruthless! Accurate!
This was something that flowed in the blood of every sword cultivator, and it was also the foundation of their survival.
No matter what battle system a sword cultivator had, they could not escape from this.
These three words were the essence of war.
In addition, sword cultivators were good at killing. Who in the entire Firmament Heaven and even the Abyss did not know this?
If the cultivation system was divided into specific schools, then sword cultivators belonged to the actual combat school. The other five schools were more like the so-called academic school or the theoretical school.
Therefore, there was no doubt that sword cultivators were the absolute main force in every war, and their achievements were valiant.
This did not mean that sword cultivators were better than the other five schools, but that they had their strengths and weaknesses.
Not to mention, the group of sword cultivators at the Water Change Platform was the most elite and powerful group of sword cultivators in the entire human race.
How could sword cultivators be good at killing, and the ability to kill quickly, incisively and vividly?
This had become a proposition that high-level cultivators needed to prove.
First of all, it was impossible to form teams of sword cultivators like at the Water Change Platform.
They were strong, but it was too wasteful of battle power.
Originally, they had to split into three groups to guard the three cities. There were only so many sword cultivators in the Sword Sect, and they still had to form teams of two. The points that could be covered were too few.
The battlefield was incomparably huge. It was not a full strength fist, but more like a spread out net with countless nodes.
This kind of war was not a war that could be won by gaining an advantage in one or two points. What was needed was to gain the upper hand in a large area.
Sword cultivators had to be scattered to as many points as possible, and be the arrowhead that broke the net!
Since sword cultivators and sword cultivators were not a good choice, then what about sword cultivators and spirit cultivators?
A classic combination of a big C and a support.
The truth was, it was also not good.
At least not in a large scale war.
The reason was also very simple. Spirit cultivators and sword cultivators were too pure, too weak, and could be easily defeated one by one.
Sword cultivators and body cultivators?
One in the front row, one main attacker, there was no problem with this combination, right?
In fact, there was still a problem.
The problem was with sword cultivators.
Sword cultivators were too fast, and body cultivators often could not keep up with the rhythm of sword cultivators charging into the formation, resulting in a disconnect. Body cultivators were a classic close combat sect, and had few long-range methods. If one was not careful, there would be an awkward situation where the body cultivators in the front row were watching from the back, and the sword cultivators as the main attacker had already surpassed the body cultivators in the front row.
After so many rounds of verification, a seemingly unreasonable but actually the most reasonable combination appeared.
The sword technique combination of sword cultivators and magic cultivators!
That's right, it was the combination of the two strongest attack systems in the cultivation world to kill the enemy.
Although sword cultivators and magic cultivators were both classic attack systems, there was still a huge difference between them.
Other than one being a physical attack system in the usual sense, and the other being a magic attack system, there was another important difference. If sword cultivators were the purest and most direct cultivation system, then magic cultivators were the most complicated and most extensive cultivation system.
Purity had its advantages. As the saying goes, quality was more important than quantity.
Complexity had its advantages. One more skill was one more means to survive.
Both had their own reasons. As for which was more reasonable, it depended on who was stronger.
To be specific, magic cultivators were responsible for defense, field control, enchantment, interference, side protection, support … and so on. All the complicated things were done by magic cultivators.
Sword cultivators only needed to be responsible for one thing.
What they were best at.
Kill!
It seemed abrupt, but in fact, it was very reasonable.
The simplest example was that in some low-end competitive games, the main attacker might be able to complete a 2v5 with a support.
However, in high-end professional competitions, 2v5s were extremely rare. Even if there were, the 2v2 could only be a double C. Otherwise … the damage output would not be enough!
.....
The whole combination process was very smooth, and there were only some small twists and turns.
Although Torch Dragon was not Tai Qing Palace, it was still one of the top sects among magic cultivator sects. In terms of quality, there were many good magic cultivators.
Even if their individual combat strength was not as good as the sword cultivators of Sword Sect, in sword techniques and sword techniques, the sword came first and the magic followed. In this combination, sword cultivators were the main force, and magic cultivators were just support. It was more or less enough.
Judging from the huge number of magic cultivators, it was not a problem to pair up with a mere 2,000 sword cultivators. From Void Refinement to Tribulation Transcendence, it was easy to find magic cultivators of similar realms to pair up with.
As for the small twists and turns, they came from … Lu Qingshan.
No one could pair up with him!
