Divine Brilliance

Chapter 841: Xuandu Guards

“When troops meet at a narrow road, the courageous will win?”

He Daoren muttered to himself, looking at the 20,000 troops who were lined up at the foot of the mountain.

He knew that these were Zhuang Yu’s guards, made up of elites hand-picked by him after many battles. After 5 years, only now did they take a rough shape. They were called the Xuandu Guards.

However, what was unexpected was that Zhuang Yu had never used this army on the battlefield to date.

This was because he was god-like at using troops, often he didn’t need to personally fight the wars. He didn’t need to spend much effort to defeat the enemy. Due to his fame, often when the enemy saw his flag, they would flee.

This resulted in people of the world knowing about his close guards, but they never heard about their achievements.

Zhuang Yu wanted to use this elite army here to fight head-on and beat the enemy that outnumbered them 50 to 1.

Or would there be any other surprises today?

His eyes flashed as he suddenly laughed, “Brother Zhuang’s plan shouldn’t be just that right?”

“I do indeed have some other methods. I already started planning 5 years ago. I have some chess pieces in the countries in the east. Some people have the same goals while I threatened some and held others hostage!”

Casually explaining, he wasn’t fazed by the shocked expression on He Rendao’s face, “However, even if I were to use these chess pieces, I need them to be willing. If they can’t see any hope at all, how would I hope for these people to willingly betray?”

The moment he said this, Zhuang Yu’s eyes were filled with shock, only to see several people fly over and stand in the air.

He recognized all of them. They met a few times in Yuanjing Palace and knew that they were the few Spirit Realm Cultivators who followed that person to conquer Yuanlian World.

Especially the young cultivator who was leading, whom he couldn’t forget after just one look.

In his life, apart from his current Ruler, he was the most outstanding teen he had ever seen.

It was said that he was a really important junior disciple of the Sword Sect and his position in Yuanjing Palace was only below Zong Shou.

At this moment, he bowed toward him, “I am on orders from the Ruler here to help Capital Commander! Ruler ordered that you are in charge of everything. We won’t let the Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty Cultivators disturb the war matters.”

Just as he said this, a 40-year-old cultivator suddenly sent out an item that floated down.

It was a giant golden ring that spun, giving off a Spiritual Light.

Behind it were actually rows of armored warriors who walked out from within the light.

First was 5,000 Red Armored Swordsmen and then 5,000 Crossbowmen. They too wore red armor, just that it was slightly thinner.

Next were 2,000 Cavalry who also wore red armor, red like fresh blood.

Great Gan’s color was red, that really was the case.

What shocked Zong Shou was that this Cavalry Army was all at Grade-6.

The armor was also specially made. The 2,000 of them were like one, their Energy Meridians linked together like a wave.

The cavalry troops were not bad too, standing still as strong as a boulder!

Feng Taiji explained, “This is my Sword Sect’s treasure, the Treasure Hiding Space Ring. Unfortunately, it can only carry no more than 10,000 troops. However, Ruler’s elites are all here! 5,000 Big Dipper Sword Soldiers, 5,000 Big Dipper Crossbow Soldiers, 2,000 Black Fox Iron Cavalry. They are really famous in the Cloud World! All of them will be under your command!”

Zhuang Yu’s eyes lit up and then it dimmed down. It seems like Ruler has already seen through all his plans.

“Ruler is wise!”

Those words truly came from the bottom of his heart. He could evidently see that these 12,000 people were the strongest power in Zong Shou’s hands.

Tossing them here was both trust toward him as well as support for his strategy.

Following this, he squinted and looked into the distance, “They are here!”

Even if they were dozens of miles away, they could still hear the rumbling noise. Thousands, tens of thousands of horse hooves striking the ground, causing the mountain to shake.

Zhuang Yu’s lips curled up and revealed a mocking smile.

As expected, to head from Linxu City into the core of Xuan Country, they had to use light cavalry to strike. The faster, the better. As long as they were able to breach this pass before the Seven Countries reacted, they would be able to stab into the core land and take the victory.

Even Guixuan who was always calm and careful finally made a mistake under this huge temptation!

Traveling a long distance would result in the troops being tired, unable to last too long. That was also a way to win.

Laughing out loud, Zhuang Yu held his sword and made arrangements from above the hill, striding down to the front of the formation. action

He stood in front of the first row, the sword still stuck onto the ground in front of him.

To fight head-on and go up against dozens of times the enemy force, Zhuang Yu naturally couldn’t fall behind others.

As a General, one needed to care about their own life, to try to survive. However, sometimes they needed to fight valiantly and take the lead.

“My boys, you have followed me for 5 years. You all have sharp swords, but they are unable to drink blood. Although you are all ambitious, you can only take it silently. You all felt wronged these few years, right? Ruler is kind and gives the millions of people of Yuanlian a chance to break free from hardship. Are you all willing to follow me to fight to the death to defeat the enemy? To spread the name of our Xuandu Guards far and wide in this world?”

Those 20,000 guards didn’t say a single word. However, with a loud “Hong” they all pulled out their swords, pointing forward.

Those brilliantly crafted armors all made a series of clanging noises.

Many runes flashed on the bodies of these people, finally breaking apart.

A sharp and unbreakable aura charged up into the sky.

At this moment, Feng Taiji who was above was also shocked by this sky covering aura.

He looked down with a lost expression on his face.

“It is actually a sealing technique? None of them under Grade-5. Zhuang Yu...”

His expression changed. He was now smiling bitterly, “So he actually had such a trump card. This person is really interesting! No wonder Zong Shou was so relaxed.”

He sighed, he still couldn’t be compared to that person.

Even if he knew that this person was talented, he would still be wary. However, Zong Shou was able to let go fully, allowing him to execute as he wished.

This Zhuang Yu didn’t let him down...

They had a huge chance for this battle!

He looked into the distance to see a huge cavalry army which was like a surging river charging right over!

However, at this moment, Feng Taiji felt no worry in his heart.

In his heart, he was thinking about what that person was doing now?

It was such an important moment, but he was nowhere to be seen.

Did that Ruler really not worry about the war matters at all?

Just as he was thinking about this, the iron wave in the distance finally arrived at this mountain path.

A 30,000-foot distance was between them before they stopped. The cavalry soldiers at the front were filled with surprise.

Zhuang Yu didn’t wait for them to charge over, directly charging forward.

A full 20,000 Xuandu Guards chased closely behind with orderly steps.

A full dozen breaths later, many snow bright Sword Lights slashed out within the valley.

Among the Heaven shaking killing shouts, blood light splashed out.
