Chapter 1220: Soldier Against Soldier, General Against General!

The main reason why Chuangshang Beidao decided to begin the attack in the middle of the night was because of Gu Han! He calculated that Gu Han would definitely have to come out to him if he challenged him in front of everyone. If he did not come because of any kind of reason, the blow to the army would be too great.

With Gu Han’s personality, he would not be able to accept this kind of result. And so, he would definitely accept the challenge.

But the sky was already dark, and with heaven defying stealth techniques, if Gu Han really came out, the possibility of him falling into an ambush would be at least over 80 percent! With such chances, it would be no different from commiting suicide!

If Gu Han was defeated, or even killed here, the impact it would deal to the allied army would undoubtedly be extremely huge!

However, Chuangshang Beidao’s carefully thought out plan had been thoroughly destroyed by Jun Mo Xie!

Gu Han had already cultivated for over 5,000 years, so he was naturally not an idiot. How would he not understand what Chuangshang Beidao was planning? He also knew that if he went out to meet the challenge, he would most likely meet some great dangers, having very low chances of escaping. But if it was still up to him now, he would still have no choice but to go and fight! Because, he represented the 10,000 years old honour and glory of the three Holy Lands.

Gu Han could be defeated, and he could even be killed. However, the 10,000 years old honour and pride of the three Holy Lands could not be tarnished!

Now that Chuangshang Beidao’s scheme had been exposed, instead of being angry, he actually laughed. “Indeed! This Seat had indeed laid a trap, calculating that Gu Han would come out and fight, even if he wasn’t willing to. But I hadn’t expected that this scheme would actually be spoilt with just a few words from you! From the looks of it, you are the person who truly deserves this Seat’s future considerations! For an expert like this, are you truly going to be so stingy with your name?”

Jun Mo Xie chuckled. “For you to be able to acknowledge your foe like this is indeed rather magnanimous. But I’m sorry, although my name is not really any great secret, I cannot tell it to you.”

“Why is that?” Chuangshang Beidao furrowed his brows.

He couldn’t understand this at all. The other person’s name was not a secret, yet he refused to tell him it. Does he plan to frustrate me to death?

“The reason is simple; it’s because you disgust me too much! That is all.” Jun Mo Xie said in a casual manner. “If my name was found out by you, it would be an unbearable shame for me! So, one second delayed of you knowing it is one second gained…”

As soon as those words rang out, the entire battlefield was filled with laughter!

This bunch of warriors who had already started to grow frenzied from killing, instantly felt a great relaxing feeling in their hearts as they roared with joy.

“Bastard!” Chuangshang Beidao cursed with rage: “Come out here! If you have the guts, come and have a fight with me!”

Jun Mo Xie snorted, rolling his eyes with disdain. “F*ck your granny!”

This curse was so crisp and relentless, resonating loud and clear through the battlefield.

Everyone: …

It wasn’t clear what kind of expression Chuangshang Beidao had on his face right now, but the allied side was a sea of joy. Even the solemn and cold faced experts of the three Holy Lands, could not help but to reveal wide smiles on their faces.

Inside the planning tent, Jun Mo Xie looked at everyone and said with a serious expression. “The strange races are cruel and cunning, and they have an absolute advantage in terms of numbers. This war is one that is fraught with dangers! We must always have a well thought out strategy to deal with them!”

“What kind of strategy does Manor Lord Jun mean?” Gu Han asked with a heavy expression.

“Right now, we have four peak experts. You, me, Xue Yan, and the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master…”

The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master interrupted with a cold snort: “Not four, three! I’m not with you guys. This is a war between the Xuan Xuan Continent and the strange races; it has nothing to do with this Young Master!”

“Whatever you say, then. Do whatever you like. In any case, we weren’t pinning any hopes on you. Three then. The three of us must tend strictly to our stations, never leaving it no matter what! This is an extremely important point.”

Jun Mo Xie rolled his eyes at the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master and continued: “Xue Yan will be stationed at the base of the army, taking charge of moving and arranging the troops. This is an extremely important position, and you will be an anchor for the main army, holding the line and receiving reinforcements arriving from the continent. At the same time, you will be responsible for the arrangement of the troops based on the changes of the battlefield. Do not let down your guard for even a moment!”

Mei Xue Yan nodded, her eyes growing extremely determined. Although the position that Jun Mo Xie had arranged for her was at the backlines was the safest, her responsibilities were also the heaviest!

The victory and defeat of this entire war rested very heavily in her hands! In that moment, Mei Xue Yan only felt an extremely heavy responsibility on her shoulders.

“As for Old Gu, you are responsible for the side of the Holy Lands!” Jun Mo Xie looked deeply at Gu Han and said. “Tomorrow, or perhaps the day after, the battle will erupt in full force. At the most appropriate time, the people of the three Holy Lands may very possibly be arranged to be the first wave of soldiers, pushing forward all the way! Old Gu, don’t forget the things I’ve said to you!”

Gu Han’s expression was grave as he nodded: “That is only natural!”

“As for myself, I will be in charge of the troop movements at the frontlines!” Jun Mo Xie chose the most dangerous location for himself. Looking sternly at everyone, he emphasized word by word: “Everyone, no matter which side you belong to, you must remember one thing! This is a war right now, not an exchange of skills of the pugilistic world. It also isn’t a competition of skills between two people! Every action you make involves the safety of billions of people!

“Soldier against soldier, general against general! This is the most common knowledge of the battlefield!” Jun Mo Xie said slowly: “You must remember, Saint Venerables have Saint Venerable opponents, and Saint Emperors have Saint Emperor opponents! You must not act with emotion, showing yourselves to slaughter the weak soldiers! Every bit of energy you use unnecessarily, will give the opponent’s same level experts a higher chance of victory! Our numbers are already smaller compared to the enemy, so we cannot afford to waste any experts!

“Saint Venerables, even if you don’t kill a single enemy and die in the hands of an enemy’s Enduring Heavens expert, it is still not a loss! Because, you died at the place it is most appropriate for you to die! The damage the enemy sustains, and the energy they expend will naturally result in an opportunity for them to be killed by others! Your mission is finished, and there will be no regrets in this war even if you die! In contrast, even if you killed more soldiers, if you hadn’t managed to weaken the enemy’s experts, you will still have let down the billions of lives on the Xuan Xuan Continent!”

Everyone fell into deep thought as they nodded dully.

“You must remember, even if you kill 10,000 strange races soldiers, it won’t match up to a single Saint Venerable on our side! Everyone, the battlefield is a vicious place. If you die, I won’t say anything about it. I only wish to say one thing: Even if you die, you need to die with the greatest value!”

Jun Mo Xie finished with a heavy voice. His eyes shone brightly as he swept his gaze across the crowd: “Does anyone have anything to add?”

Jun Mo Xie knew very deeply that these people were all non military fighters, and they could not be looked at as an ordinary army! Those words that he just said, may not be needed to be emphasized so many times to a regular army, but to these people, he needed to remind them again and again!

All of them were proud experts, and things like discipline and regimentation had never meant anything to them at all. At any time, some of these experts would end up charging into the frontlines because of their emotions, slaughtering large swathes of enemy soldiers. But such actions, would end with energy exhausted which the allied army could not bear.

The other party could still bear to expend themselves like that, because their foundations were solid.

But their side could definitely not endure that!

In fact, every tiny bit of energy that a Saint Venerable spent could very possibly end up as the deciding factor of this world!

Even if their side’s Saint Venerable each killed 20,000 enemy soldiers before they were killed, it would still be a huge loss. Because the opponent’s Saint Venerable expert that was freed up, could cause thousands of lives of the soldiers on their side!

Not to mention thousands; even several hundred, or one hundred deaths were not something they could handle.

But on the side of the strange races, the deaths of tens of thousands of soldiers were completely insignificant!

And so, they had to treat it seriously!

Such a choice was undoubtedly an extremely cruel decision!

Because if they proceeded this way, there would undoubtedly be countless brothers with lower cultivation strength, being killed by the enemy. They would have many powerful experts capable of saving these brothers, but because of this rule, they would have to watch by the side while their brothers were killed!

However, this cruel command was the only right decision!

The Evil Monarch Manor, Tian Fa, Holy Lands—these forces were facing the grand army of the strange races which outnumbered them by several thousand times! If they only concentrated on reducing the enemy numbers, the only result would be a complete loss!

The correct method was to concentrate all their strength to destroy their high level experts! Regardless of the price, even if it meant dying together with the experts of the enemy side! That was the only way, and the key to destroy the strange races army!

As for the ordinary strange races soldiers, even if they entered the main continent, they could be easily rounded up and killed later on!

And so, this seemingly cruel decision was in fact the most basic condition!

This kind of situation was actually very common in secular wars. When two armies were fighting, the generals of both sides would be watching each other. And before the war was over, even if one side was all killed, no one would make a move. Because once one side moved, the other side could take the opportunity to charge the main army, resulting in the collapse of the whole line!

Although this was also a battlefield, most of the participants of this war were made up of experts of the pugilistic world.

The golden laws and precious rules that applied to normal battlefields, likely meant less than a fart to these people of the pugilistic world!

It was this unique quality of the experts of the pugilistic world that created the greatest unique point, and also the greatest weakness of their army. Hot bloodedness—they were exceedingly rash and emotional!

In the pugilistic world, passion, hot blood, and rashness, could be advantageous traits. But on the battlefield, they were things that could lead to execution by martial law!

In that moment, the atmosphere in the tent turned somewhat strange.

The remnant experts of the three Holy Lands, the people from the Heaven Saint Palace, the people from the Evil Monarch Manor, the Beast Kings of Tian Fa Forest, and the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master whose participation was not clear… all these people were gathered together, and the enmity they still held for each other, remained difficult to resolve.

There were still deep hatred instilled within the hearts of all the different factions.

But right now, all of them were sitting peacefully beside each other, for the same purpose, prepared to fight alongside each other at any moment!

Such a situation left a complicated and inexplicable taste in everyone’s hearts.
