Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1732: Chapter 133: Turning the Tide! Rich Shows His Might in a Foreign Land

…

“Hahahaha~ Old Devil of the Dark Corpse, it’s been a good two hundred years since we last met. Did you ever expect this day when you stabbed me on the battlefield beyond the domain?” Wu Zhode said, holding a divine spiritual treasure level battle blade, looking excitedly at the Jiu Yin Dark Corpse Enlightened One across from him.

A giant dragon-shaped dharma shadow emerged behind him, with dense water aura converging towards him like a mountain torrent and tsunami. As his momentum soared, it emitted an increasingly majestic and powerful pressure.

Although both the Immortal and Demon Dynasties take up the responsibility on the battlefield beyond the domain, internally they are anything but peaceful, with countless secret stabbings given the chance, only resolved with table-banging arguments between the high levels once revealed.

“The Wu Family of the Cold Moon? Which enlightened one are you again??” The Enlightened One of the Dark Corpse squinted, finding Wu Zhode vaguely familiar, but unable to recall his name for the moment.

“Enlightened One of the Sea Dragon.”

Wu Zhode was enraged.

He had always held grudges against the Old Devil of the Dark Corpse, yet the other couldn’t even remember his name, which was truly insulting!

“Old Devil of the Dark Corpse, if you do not surrender, by this time next year will be your death anniversary.”

In fury, Wu Zhode abruptly slashed down with his blade.

In an instant, the blade light was like lightning hanging upside down, brilliantly dazzling against the morning sun on the horizon.

The fierce momentum exploded at that moment, crushing towards the Jiu Yin Dark Corpse Enlightened One overwhelmingly.

At the same time.

On the other side, Wang Yuxuan and Jiang Qinglian also made their move, joining the siege.

A beam of sword light, accompanied by a resounding phoenix cry, streaked across the sky, like a falling meteor, and resembling an upside-down Tianhe, releasing unparalleled sharpness.

Under the cover of the blade and sword light, a shadow quietly approached the Jiu Yin Dark Corpse Enlightened One, like a venomous snake lurking in the dark, invisibly sharp yet extremely fatal.

With the three joining forces, the ensuing battle situation became obvious.

Even though the Jiu Yin Dark Corpse Enlightened One and the Divine Skill Corpse Puppet were formidable, they could not withstand the combined assault of three cultivators of the Divine Power Territory, soon beaten to a dead end.

The Demonic Corpse Battle Team’s corpse puppets were strong, but the cultivators controlling the corpses could not withstand the siege and slashing from the battalions of each family, coupled with their commander being besieged, leaving them with no chance of victory, and their morale quickly collapsed completely.

Not long after, the Demonic Corpse Battle Team was routed and thrown into chaos. Some attempted to break out and flee, while others surrendered on the spot, devolving into utter disarray.

Meanwhile, the United Volunteer Brigade’s various battalions were brimming with morale, seizing the opportunity to claim merits and heads aggressively. The Wang family and Wu family battalions even clashed over this, and if not for Wang Fugui ordering Ji Yueer to stop them angrily in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

This turn of events left Wang Fugui breaking out in a cold sweat.

The battalion he commanded was truly a motley crew, utterly concerning regarding military discipline. Yet it was not surprising, as such ad hoc battalions weren’t as disciplined as regular armies and are prone to similar issues.

Fortunately, the strategy was overall successful, and the enemy had already collapsed long ago, especially after the Enlightened One of the Dark Corpse was captured, causing the Demonic Corpse Battle Team to completely surrender promptly ending the battle.

Wang Fugui secured a grand victory in this first battle, fairly easily on the whole.

After the battle.

The task of cleaning up the battlefield and tallying was quickly completed.

In this battle, 453 members of the Demonic Corpse Battle Team were killed, with 1,200 corpse puppets damaged, and around 2,100 prisoners including the wounded were captured, with over 4,000 corpse puppets seized.

The allied battalion lost 105 members with about 300 others injured. Among them, over 200 could rejoin the battle swiftly after simple treatment and it did not affect the overall strength of the battalion.

After the battle, Wang Fugui directly punished the two spiritual gurus, Wang Yuxuan and Wu Zhode, having Ji Yueer execute a military caning of thirty times each, and docking fifty percent of their battle merits in this engagement, as a warning to the warriors of these prominent families for their merit-snatching behavior.

In addition to this, he issued some simple military orders.

Should this happen again, they must not blame Wang Fugui for turning hostile and cutting heads directly.

Wang Fugui understood very well that this battalion was fundamentally a hastily assembled group, and if he didn’t kill the chicken to warn the monkey to elevate his own command authority, should they encounter a tough opponent and get embroiled in a bitter fight, the morale of the United Volunteer Brigade would collapse even faster than an avalanche.

After this incident, the leaders of each family restrained themselves significantly, no longer daring to view Wang Fugui merely as a figurehead, and along with more reverence for him, this pressure also extended into the various battalions.

Of course, this battle’s gains were substantial.

After distributing the battle merits, all prominent families earned significant profits. Even with the Han Yue Wu family and Han Yue Wang family having fifty percent of their battle merits docked, their earnings were still extremely impressive.

This undoubtedly greatly boosted the battalion’s morale.

After handling the aftermath of the Eagle Ridge Fort battle and detaining all the prisoners, Wang Fugui promptly reorganized the army and started the next strategic action.

Under his command, the United Battle Group and parts of the Yingning Fortress Guards quickly assembled, starting to cross the river in the direction from which the Demonic Corpse Battle Team had come.

The Yingning Fortress Guards accompanying the battalion totaled 2,000, whose overall combat effectiveness was poor, making it impossible to use them in assault battles, but as veterans, they were quite proficient at battlefield cleanup and prisoner handling tasks.
