Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Chapter 152: Azure Sky Kingdom, Attack!

As Xuan Hao was making his way back to his pavilion where his disciples were waiting, the border between the Azure Sky Kingdom and the Heavenly Sky Kingdom saw a lot of movement at the side of the Azure Sky Kingdom.

At the current moment, the commander in charge of the Azure Sky Kingdoms army was making the final preparation before launching an attack.

”Is everything ready?” Walking among the people hiding just outside the range of the Nascent Soul Experts from the Heavenly Sky Kingdoms divine sense, the commander looked at the person in charge of dealing with the Nascent Soul Realm Expert at this place as he asked.

”Yes! After we deal with the Nascent Soul Realm Expert, we will retreat and let the Azure Sky Kingdom handle the rest!” The person in charge was not dressed up in the normal uniforms of the Azure Sky Kingdom but instead had a unique symbol of a bear head embroidered onto his robe, showing that he was a member of one of the Azure Sky Kingdoms sects.

”Of course, as long as you kill or heavily injure the Nascent Soul Expert from the Heavenly Sky Kingdom, your big bear sect can retreat.” The commander nodded his head in agreement as he soon made his way over to a few other locations where a similar scene happened.

This was the only way that the commander could get the different sects to agree to act as the frontline in the coming battle! Without having a clear target and a chance to retreat after dealing with it, the sects would simply not agree to join in and even threatened him with leaving the border all together. After all, who would willingly jump into a fire without a way out…

Even if the Azure Sky Kingdom were strong, it would definitely be weakened for a period of time if all the sects decided to leave all of a sudden.

”Commander, are you sure this will work?” A young soldier came over the moment the commander made his way back into his tent to go over the final orders before the upcoming battle.

”Yes! As long as those sects hold off the Nascent Soul Realm Experts of the Heavenly Sky Kingdom, we will be able to focus all our attention on one front and go straight for their commander and other higher-ups!” Picking up a letter that he had written, the commander handed it over to the young soldier as he answered his question.𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

”Get someone to hand this over to the messenger that came here and tell him to deliver the letter to his majesty.”

”Yes Uncle- I mean commander!” Slipping up a bit when he addressed the commander, the young soldier quickly corrected himself before darting out of the room in the direction where the field kitchen was located.

”Hah, that brat…” Shaking his head as he thought about the past, the commander quickly regained his former serious expression as he called for a few soldiers standing guard outside to come and deliver the last few orders before the assault on the Heavenly Sky Kingdoms defences.

…

”The commander wants us to deliver this to his majesty? Is there anything else?” The messenger asked the young soldier in front of him as he felt a bit annoyed at the current situation.

They were supposed to leave the army camp a long time ago and make their way back to the Capital, but they had gotten delayed again and again due to the commander telling them to wait until he finished formulating a response for his majesty.

Other than that, the commander also wanted them to go back towards the capital together with a large group of soldiers that had been injured to the point of not being able to participate in the conflict and a small group of medical staff.

For some reason he wanted them to leave a few hours after the sun rose and walk on the most dangerous but also fastest path back towards the capital where the Heavenly Sky Kingdom had several people observing constantly.

The messenger had no clue what the commander was planning, but he clearly knew that he and his subordinates were being used as bait or a distraction by the commander.

”Leader… Do you think we will be fine…? The commander wonʼt just sacrifice the injured soldiers. Right?” One of his subordinates walked up to the messenger and asked in a tense voice, clearly having seen through the plan of the commander.

Looking over the rest of his subordinates, the messenger saw all of them were tensed up as they had started moving to group up with the injured soldiers and the medical staff making their way back towards the capital together with them.

”No need to worry, Iʼm sure the commander knowns what he is doing!” Putting on a brave front, the messengerʼs words managed to somewhat calm down his subordinates as they reached the location where the injured soldiers and medical staff were preparing for departure.

Time passed by quickly and soon the group of injured soldiers and medical staff departed from the army camp? together with the messenger and his small group of subordinates.

At the same time that they left the army camp, several spies from the Azure Sky Kingdomʼs side started spreading the news about the departure of the Azure Sky Kingdoms main army, saying that only the normal border guard would be left at the Azure Sky Kingdoms side.

This caused most of the soldiers on the side of the Heavenly Sky Kingdom to relax as they could see a large group of people openly leaving the army camp of the Azure Sky Kingdom before moving in the direction of the Azure Sky Kingdomʼs capital.

A few of the Nascent Soul Realm Experts still keeping a constant eye on the Azure Sky Kingdoms side also lowered their vigilance when they saw the large group of people leaving from the army camp.

This was the opportunity that the commander was looking for as he waited for a few hours before making sure that the Nascent Soul Realm Experts on the side of the Heavenly Sky Kingdom had relaxed and stopped paying as much attention as before.

At this point, they were most likely waiting for the Heavenly Sky Kingdoms order to retreat from the border.

Picking up his communication talisman, the commander ordered for the sects that had hidden their experts close to the order to make the first move on the few Nascent Soul Realm Experts still standing guard on the frontline.
