Chapter 1029: The War Begins
The horn of battle was blown, and the Earth Immortal who led the way hurriedly threw down Xu Chuniang and Gong Lao before going far away without looking back.
Well, stay in place of the two quickly by the left front army commander Zhao Meng Di noticed, she thought a little, then realized that the two are new to the left front army of people, direct voice command.
“The two of you, along with the others, follow the rear of the group and set off immediately.”
After she commanded this sentence, she paid no more attention to the two people and gave multiple orders one after another, methodically deploying the battlefield.
Under Zhao Mengdi’s command and dispatch, the entire Left Frontier Army was divided into three teams, which would advance along the left, right, and center directions respectively.
Before leaving, Zhao Mengdi swept his eyes around the week, and after quickly going through all the deployments in his mind, he emphasized with a serious look.
“Remember your identities, the most important duty of the Left Peak Army is to explore the road and find out the troop strength and strategy of the Demon Army, fighting is not our strong point, no need to be brave, survive the battlefield as much as possible, got it?”
“Understood!”
The three teams responded in unison, resounding throughout the entire sky and earth, enough to see that Zhao Mengdi’s prestige in the Left Front Army was high.
Xu Chuniang and Gong Lao were organized into the team in the middle road, and this team in the middle road would be led by Zhao Mengdi himself.
The fact that Zhao Meng Di personally led the team didn’t mean that the dangers encountered by this team would be reduced, on the contrary, as the commander of the Left Front Army, she had repeatedly recognized the strategic layout of the Demon Army on the eve of the outbreak of the Great War, and had made countless achievements.
The Demon Army had long wanted to get rid of her, and had even organized several battles against the Left Front Army.
However, Zhao Mengdi, who was at the peak of the Heavenly Immortal realm, was not only an outstanding general, but also possessed great strength and rich combat experience, and after being targeted repeatedly, she had brought a group of left-front troops that were not considered to be elite, and killed her way out of the encirclement.
This made Zhao Mengdi’s reputation higher while also being hated more and more by the Demon Army.
Xu Chuniang and Gong Lao followed at the end of the group, despite the fact that the cultivation level of the Immortals in the entire group was generally low, they had their own aura of solemnity and calmness, and all of them raised their concentration to the highest level in order to deal with the possible battles that might occur next.
Infected by the atmosphere of the army, the two people’s expression has also become much more serious, who does not know, will not be at the next intersection, will run into the devil army.
But at this moment, there was a short and faint sound of insects chirping, hearing the sound, the original left front army that was still rapidly marching stopped, and quickly entered the state of preparation for battle.
It turned out to be Zhao Mengdi, who was at the front of the group, who found a small-scale demon army in front of him, and transmitted the war message with the sound of insect chirping, signaling the people to respond to the battle.
Although Xu Chuniang and Gong Lao didn’t know the exact meaning of the insect chirps, they saw that the people around them stopped with alert faces and guessed that they might have encountered a situation.
A few breaths later, there was indeed a small group of demon soldiers that appeared in front of the crowd.
Fortunately, this small group of demon soldiers was not the main force of the demon army, and their overall cultivation was comparable to the Left Front Army.
However, the devils were all brave and good at fighting, and their ability to fight alone was extremely strong, so although the number of the other party was not large, they could not be underestimated.
After Zhao Mengdi transmitted the information back to the general battalion army, he gave the order, “Formation!”
As soon as the words fell, the entire team immediately moved to form a peculiar formation.
Everyone took their positions, except for Xu Chuniang and Gong Lao, the two newcomers who had just joined the Left Frontier Army, who didn’t know how to cooperate with the formation.
At the time of emergency, Zhao Mengdi was busy with his commanding officer and naturally wouldn’t divide his attention between the two newcomers, while the others had their own duties and likewise didn’t have the time to pay attention to the others, so the two of them were just left behind. However, at the beginning, Zhao Meng Di arranged the two at the very back of the team, in this position, even if they didn’t enter the formation, they basically wouldn’t encounter any danger.
The formation had just been set up when the battle broke out, and with the strength and numbers of the Left Front Army in their favor, the Demon Soldiers couldn’t take any advantage at all.
But the strength of the devils is powerful, even if protected by the formation, there are many people in the Left Frontier Army who are injured or even dead, and the position vacated in the formation will soon be filled by the people behind.
This scene, see Gong Lao anxious, although he is afraid of death, but also a member of the left front army, want to contribute to the battle.
What was the point of just hiding behind the others?
“Girl Xu, don’t you know a little bit about formations, can you tell something? The two of us can’t just keep cowering behind, right?”
“Don’t worry, I’m already looking.”
From the moment the array began, Xu Chuniang had been studying the formation, and after looking at it for a long time, she finally had some insight.
This grand formation, to put it simply, could be roughly divided into three parts, each responsible for combat, guarding, and the ability to store power.
The people could freely choose to join one of the divisions based on their own strength, as well as the laws they had comprehended, and could also change freely between the divisions based on the specific situation.
After briefly explaining the efficacy of the formation listed by the crowd, Gong Lao dawned, “This formation, on the contrary, is better understood than what I imagined… I intend to go and fight with those demon soldiers, which position should I go to?”
In this team, the number of Earth Immortals and Human Immortals each accounted for half of the team, the Earth Immortals with higher cultivation were mostly in charge of the more dangerous battle functions, the two parts of guarding and storing up power were mostly taken care of by the Human Immortals with low cultivation and strength.
Gong Lao felt that he was an Earth Immortal anyway, and since he enjoyed the blessings of the crowd, he naturally had to contribute more.
Xu Chuniang pondered a little, “Have you ever fought with demon soldiers before?”
Gong Lao shook his head, during the ten thousand years in the Immortal Realm, he had lived a very peaceful life, spending most of his time diligently earning Immortal Crystals, and had never put himself in danger before.
“Since that’s the case, then I think it’s more suitable for you to go to the guards, to learn about the strength of the demons first, and after you have a rough idea of their strength, then you’ll have a better chance of fighting.”
Gong Lao thought about it and also felt that it made sense, for him, a person who seldom fights with other people, to go and fight with the devils rashly, there was indeed a considerable risk.
“Alright, what about you?”
“I’ll go with you, first feel how strong these devils are.”
Saying that, Xu Chuniang pointed to a location.
“You go there, and just keep using your immortal energy to condense the power of the laws and constantly strengthen the protective boundaries in the formation.”
Gong Lao understood and did as she instructed, and indeed, he smoothly merged into the formation.
After placing Gong Lao, Xu Chuniang also found herself a spot to strengthen the defense of the formation.
The actions of the two people were watched by Zhao Mengdi, who was in charge of the overall situation, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, not expecting these two newcomers to understand and integrate into the formation so quickly.
Her eyes skimmed over the two and quickly focused on the battle in front of her, at this form, she would soon be able to finish off these demons. (End of Chapter)
