Chapter Nine Hundred and Fourteen – Pride
The streets were flooded with people . Everyone’s expressions were reluctant as they occasionally turned their heads back .
“Everyone, please hurry!” A xiuzhe floated through the air, their voice passing to every corner through a sound amplification seal formation . “Please pay attention the vessel number of your ship, please notice the safety of your valuables . Parents with children, please pay attention to your child . ”
“Everyone, do not worry, we will repay you for all your losses!”
Large numbers of xiuzhe floated in the air . Under their management, the lines were relatively maintained .
“Mama, will we return?” A child looked pleadingly at his mother .
The mother comfortingly patted the head of the little boy and said gently, “We will . ”
“Really?” The little boy had a hopeful expression . “Great! Yun Yun said that she will also return . Then we can play together . Mama, when we will come back?”
“We will come back when we win,” the mother said patiently .
“Then we need to win fast!” The boy blurted out . He turned to look at his home .
The same retreat was happening throughout all the jies of Mo Cloud Sea .
The plan from Gongsun Cha and the others was faithfully carried out . All of Mo Cloud Sea started to move . Like an enormous machine, it started to turn .
All of the treasures ships and transportation ships were conscripted . The fleets covered the sky . Almost all the transportation formations were used at maximum capacity . Jingshi was used up as though it didn’t cost anything .
A movement of people of such scale had never happened before in history .
Mo Cloud Sea’s manpower and wealth was used to its limits .
This was the final battle!
Mu Xi received orders . The order was written by the Council of Elders, but she knew that the Nether King had been the one commanding her .
She was not very surprised . The two most outstanding battle generals of the yao were her and Bing Lan Daren . Bing Lan Daren had retired and gone to create a battle general house . She was the only one left .
As the new orders were announced, the yao had quickly stabilized . This meant that the king had taken control of the situation . What surprised Mu Xi was that the chaos she had imagined taking place hadn’t occurred . As the new orders were spread, the yao quickly walked out of the solemnity of the past purges and showed signs of prosperity .
This new king … … was really strong!
Mu Xi was not the only one who saw this . The other elders also saw this . Not every elder and prestigious family only knew greed . Actually, they hoped the yao would be prosperous more than anyone else because only when the yao were prosperous would they receive the greatest benefits .
Their resistance against the king was decreasing .
That Mo King proved that he could bring them more benefits .
Nothing made them obedient towards him more than this .
The Palace Lake Wood Clan was one of them .
The clever Wood Clan leader immediately detected the opportunity . He did not hesitate to show goodwill towards the Mo King . The Palace Lake Wood Clan had an advantage no other clan had . Their greatest trump card, Mu Xi!
Mu Xi knew the intentions of the clan . She had no objections .
Mu Xi became the commander in chief of the yao battalions . An astounding number of yao battalions that were were mobilized . Over three hundred thousand people . This was almost all of the battalions of the yao . Originally, the yao had more than this number, but Ming Yue Ye’s cleansing in years past had caused the number to decrease dramatically .
Mu Xi was not the young unknown girl of the past . She possessed resources and reputation now . As Bing Lan Daren faded from the limelight, she became the only qualified candidate to be commander in chief .
The movements of the Council of Elder attracted the eyes of the people . The movement of the battalions did not attract much attention as a result .
When Mu Xi reached the departure point, she was astounded . An army of over five hundred thousand mo were waiting with their weapons at ready . She immediately realized it would be a major mission .
An Mo politely received Mu Xi . In terms of position, the two were equal .
For the people below, they only thought this was a normal alliance of mo and yao . But among the higher ups of the mo, everyone was given a fright by the actions of the King . Uniting the yaomo, such an accomplishment had never occurred with the past mo kings .
An Mo, Liang Wei and the others who knew Zuo Mo’s identity were even more shocked and also extremely excited . Uniting the yaomo, leading Mo Cloud Sea- Without a doubt, King was about to unite the world .
Mu Xi’s gaze landed on Liang Wei .
This yao lead the first battalion of the four great mo battalions, the King’s Horn .
She looked at the mo side that was full of famed generals, and her own side with only her . Mu Xi grimaced . If the mo really attacked the yao, the yao most likely would not have held .
Had Ming Yue Ye Daren’s actions been wrong?
An absurd thought flashed through her mind .
She quickly came back .
Liang Wei detected Mu Xi’s gaze but he was not affected .
An Mo nodded in acknowledgement to Liang Wei . “We can start . ” An Mo admired Liang Wei greatly . He didn’t know how King had managed to recruit Liang Wei . Once while talking to Liang Wei, they had discussed his experiences, and An Mo found it hard to understand . Such an outstanding battle general couldn’t find a place among the yao . Did the yao have so many outstanding battle generals?
The mo were skilled in attacking, skilled in fighting intensely . Among the four battle generals, no one was better than Liang Wei . Due to this, Liang Wei was in charge of the strategy and the other three his assistants .
Liang Wei understood . He didn’t waste words and said directly, “This time, our plan is to attack from here . ”
His hand pointed towards a jie of Kun Lun .
“All battalions have finished gathering!” Xue Dong’s voice was filled with excitement . Excitement appeared on the faces of all the battle generals present .
This was a final battle unprecedented in its size . The number of people Kun Lun had conscripted reached two million and four hundred thousand!
A number that induced hopelessness!
Even they felt themselves shaking at the endless sea of people .
This was a power that could destroy everything!
Everyone stopped breathing and waited for the final order to attack .
Lin Qian stood up and said with a calm expression, “Then let us attack!”
Attack!
The order passed through the ranks and into the army!
The army of two million and four hundred thousand was like a vast ocean that slowly moved forward . Nothing could halt their march .
Advance! Advance! Advance!
In the name of Kun Lun!
Bright Wood Jie!
Meteor Shower Jie!
Fifth Sky Jie!
Kun Lun’s army seemed to be unstoppable . They did not encounter any resistance . Empty jie, after empty jie, after empty jie!
Such an enormous battalion meant that they were unstoppable but it also meant they lost speed . The transportation formations along the way had been destroyed . They had to travel the jie rivers using transportation ships and they could not speed up .
Kun Lun quickly learned Mo Cloud Sea’s intentions .
“They want to delay us to death . ” Chao Xin’s expression was slightly ugly . “A scorched earth strategy! This move is very effective!”
The other people had ugly expressions . They hadn’t encountered any fighting along the way as though the other was gifting them the territory . And in every jie, everything was destroyed . They could not scavenge any supplies .
Without realizing it, the morale of the main troops was being ground down . Victory would cause the morale to rise, but the enemy’s proactive surrender of land and scorched earth strategy made people feel as though they were punching into cotton . They couldn’t be happy .
Mo Cloud Sea’s intentions were clear . This was an open scheme .
But they didn’t have the option of retreat left to them .
“We need to speed up . We cannot give them time to retreat . We need to protect the supply lines . ” Xue Dong looked at Lin Qian .
Lin Qian shook his head . “We surrender the supply lines . ”
“Surrender the supply lines?” Everyone was frightened by Lin Qian’s idea .
The other’s scorched earth strategy meant they could not scavenge supplies . If they surrendered the supply lines… …
“This is the last battle for Kun Lun,” Lin Qian said coldly . “We do not have the ability to fight for long . I have already ordered the rear to transport supplies for three months as quickly as possible . They will be sent over in the next few days . After that, the supplies will move with the troops . The longer it takes, the more detrimental it is for us . ”
Xue Dong and the others immediately understood . Their eyes lit up . “This is a good solution!”
Surrendering the supply lies meant that they didn’t need to worry that the enemy would attack their supplies .
“Three months!” Lin Qian’s eyes were sharp and his voice were frosty . “If we do not win, then we die!”
Everyone’s heart shook!
The sect leader’s determination was so strong .
“What methods do we have to increase our speed?” Lin Qian asked Chao Xin .
Chao Xin gritted out, “There is no solution for the larger force . If it is an army less than three hundred thousand, there is a possibility! However, without a god-level for protection, the three hundred thousand is in great danger!”
The other people were silent . A battalion without the protection of a god-level was extremely fragile .
This battalion looked terrifying because it had Lin Qian, the god-level, present . Without the protection of the god-level, this terrifying army would become a piece of fat meat .
In front of a god-level that could destroy a jie, numbers were meaningless .
Any kind of strength was relative .
If they split their forces, it would give the enemy chances .
Lin Qian understood . Only when the enemy god-level was occupied would Kun Lun’s strategy of numbers become truly effective .
Wei Sheng!
He had to occupy Wei Sheng!
“I’ll do it . ” Lin Qian stood with a calm expression .
He did not refuse and didn’t even think, as though he was speaking of an ordinary matter .
His gaze swept across the group and he said calmly, “If I die, the next sect leader is A Xin . ”
The youth shook . He suddenly raised his head . But no one looked at him . Everyone looked in disbelief at Lin Qian .
Xue Dong felt as though something was stuck in his throat . He tried to make himself smile . He didn’t know that his smile was uglier than crying . “Do not say such inauspicious things… …”
Lin Qian smiled and then said seriously, “I can die, but Kun Lun can only win . ”
Finishing, he turned and walked towards the door to the tent .
The bright sunshine came from the doorway . Lin Qian’s tall figure was silhouetted by the light and people could not see him clearly . Suddenly, his steps paused slightly .
“Starting today, you will not need to worry about Wei Sheng . ”
The voice that came from the light was just as proud as usual .
Translator Ramblings: Looking back at all this, Pu Yao’s race ended up the worst . Poor guy .
