Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Chapter 1663: Chapter 384: The Army Attacks the Mountain, Dragon King Arrives!

The three armies launched simultaneously, directly attacking Bright Peak.

To break through Bright Peak from the front, seven passes must be conquered: Iron Blood, Wolf Smoke, Heavenly Peril, Cloud Platform, Jinge, Gusong, and Wangchuan!

As long as you break through these seven passes from the front, you can directly attack Bright Peak.

Each of these seven passes has its unique function. The first pass, Iron Blood, is the first line of defense, not very steep, so during defense, one must have an iron-willed determination, real swords and spears, fighting with lives, shedding blood, hence the name Iron Blood.

Following closely is the second pass, Wolf Smoke. The so-called Wolf Smoke is to promptly signal to the mountain, serving more as a warning system, setting off wolf smoke to let the mountain’s defenders know the enemy is approaching.

Next is the third pass, Heavenly Peril, as the name implies; this place is a site of natural danger, easy to defend and hard to attack; it is truly the first difficult pass of Bright Peak. To conquer it, no lives spared is impossible.

The fourth pass, Cloud Platform.

Cloud Platform, as the name indicates, is half-hidden within the white clouds, creating a visual obstruction that’s difficult for the enemy to see. It has an excellent visual overview when looking down, hence often serving as the high-level command headquarters.

It has the effect of commanding the overall situation.

The fifth pass, Jinge.

Jinge becomes a defensive site when the fourth pass, Cloud Platform, falls. Its terrain is more rugged, some narrow places can only accommodate one carriage to pass. It’s the second real line of defense for Bright Peak, also a place where desperate fights occur, and a strategic buffer zone when the third pass, Heavenly Peril, cannot be held.

The sixth pass, Gusong!

The naming here is actually because there’s a welcoming pine tree, serving as a flat buffer ground, often used to store military supplies needed for all seven passes.

The seventh pass, Wangchuan!

No need for more words. This place is the last gate of Bright Peak, if breached, then Bright Peak is in peril, just like the Wangchuan River, if not defended, it leads to the netherworld, conveying the meaning of the ultimate place.

These are the seven significant passes of the Zoroastrian Sect’s Bright Peak.

At this time, as soon as the court’s great army moved, the Zoroastrian Sect at the first pass, Iron Blood Pass, saw it. When they saw the Grey Wolf Army and White Deer Army flooding in like a deluge, the two thousand defenders at the first pass were dumbfounded.

They swallowed hard, and before they could finish swallowing, they saw the Treasure Elephant Army move.

When the terrifying giant elephants nearly three meters tall emerged, everyone was too scared to speak.

Meanwhile, the Wolf Smoke Pass defenders at the second pass also saw this and shouted in panic: ”They are attacking, attacking, quickly, light the wolf smoke.”

Upon hearing this, someone immediately lit the wolf smoke.

Seeing the billowing wolf smoke, Mr. Guan at the Cloud Platform had a panoramic view of the situation below, witnessing the court’s army attack.

At this time, Mr. Guan, with a grave expression, had the Five Elements Banner Masters behind him.

At this moment, the faces of the Five Banner Masters did not look well.

Mr. Guan pondered for a moment and said, ”The court’s army comes with a fierce momentum, clearly unfriendly. Everyone needs to be prepared for hard-fought battles.”

Upon hearing this, the Five Elements Banner Masters said, ”We vow to live and die with the Holy Sect.”

Mr. Guan nodded gently upon hearing this and then opened his mouth, ”Xing Ran.”

”Subordinate here.”

At this moment, Xing Ran, the Banner Master of Fiery Fire, cupped his fists and came forward. Mr. Guan said, ”Is the Fiery Fire Flag ready?”

Xing Ran said, ”More than three thousand people of Fiery Fire Flag are ready to live and die with the Holy Sect.”

”Good, now I pass the Dharma King Order; the Flame Banner Group will hide to the left of the Heavenly Peril Pass, prepare to attack with fire upon signal.”

”Yes, commands obeyed,”

Upon hearing this, Xing Ran immediately turned and left, leading his people to the left of the Heavenly Peril Pass, ready to attack with fire whenever necessary.

Meanwhile, Mr. Guan continued to speak, ”Flood Banner Master Tang Yang.”

”Subordinate here.”

”I command your Flood Flag members to ambush on the right side of the Heavenly Peril Pass. After the Fiery Fire Flag releases the flames, you release toxic water to attack the enemy without any mistake.”

”Commands obeyed!”

Flood Banner Master Tang Yang immediately bowed, quickly preparing for the Flood Flag’s offensive.

At the same time, Mr. Guan continued, ”Giant Wood Flag, Sharp Gold Flag.”

”Subordinate here.”

At this moment, Giant Wood Banner Master Wen Cangsong and Sharp Gold Banner Master Wu Jingcao stepped forward with cupped fists.

At this moment, Mr. Guan said, ”Giant Wood Flag faces the enemy head-on, Sharp Gold Flag engages in long-range shooting, we must hold the court army at the Heavenly Peril Pass.”

”Yes.”

The two immediately answered, and at this time, Mr. Guan continued, ”Where is the Thick Earth Flag?”

”Subordinate here.”

Thick Earth Banner Master Yan Heng immediately cupped his fists.

Mr. Guan said, ”Rolling logs and stones, mechanisms, and cableways, these all are your responsibilities, ensure nothing goes wrong.”

”Yes.”

Yan Heng immediately responded.

At this moment, Mr. Guan said, ”Where are the Twelve Guardians?”

Upon hearing this, the protectors not yet entering the Ruins all stepped forward and said, ”Subordinate here.”

Mr. Guan said, ”You will command this remaining thirty thousand Cult Members, coordinate with the Giant Wood Flag and Sharp Gold Flag, certain to eliminate the enemy outside the gate.”

”Yes.”

All cupped their fists and immediately answered.

Soon everyone was assigned resistance formations, and at this moment, behind Mr. Guan, someone said, ”The court’s great army is about to reach Iron Blood Pass, do we provide support?”

Hearing this, Mr. Guan responded, ”Order the full withdrawal from the Iron Blood and Wolf Smoke Passes, avoid engagement, Thick Earth Flag has prepared their escape route.”

”Ah, Dharma King, retreating without battle, will it not damage morale?”

At this time, the Zoroastrian Sect members behind asked, Mr. Guan, with a cold gaze, said, ”The court sent elites, with no natural risk to hold at Iron Blood and Wolf Smoke Passes, why waste lives in vain.”

Mr. Guan sighed, then turned with hands behind his back looking below and said, ”One must admit, the court indeed spared no expense to deal with our Zoroastrian Sect.”
