Chapter Five Hundred and Twelve – A Goal
“They are all moving towards a place called Turtle Island. Supposedly, there is a faction there that plans on fighting against us.” The vice commander reported emotionlessly.
“Oh,” Shi Dong’s expression was cold as made a neutral sound. He said lightly, “This is also good. They are all gathering together and it will save us a lot of trouble.”
The vice commander did not speak, his eyes were half-lidded as he stood there like a rock. His commander was a daring and outstanding person who did not need looking after.
Shi Dong might have been born a low level mantis mo, but he possessed the rare bloodline of the Sky Mantis. He had the classic tall and slender body of mantis mo. There wasn’t a flaw on his carven face. His blue pupils were as pure and clear as icy sapphires and his expression was forever cold and distant.
His mantis blade was a completely different shape than normal mantis blades. It was held at his waist. The blade was narrow and long, almost touched the ground. The curve of the blade was very small and seemed between a sabre and a sword.
Looking at the handsome commander, the vice commander sighed inside. If Daren wasn’t born a mantis mo, he probably would have been promoted long ago. Even though Daren did not care, he couldn’t help but feel injustice on Daren’s behalf.
“Slow the advance,” Shi Dong said coldly.
“Yes.” The vice commander’s thoughts came back. With slight pondering, he understood what Daren intended. Daren wanted to give the other side enough time to gather. This way, they could avoid spending the time searching for these people and get rid of them in one battle.
Daren was really confident!

The large numbers of xiuzhe coming into Turtle Island caused Turtle Island to become bustling and noisy.
Most of the xiuzhe that came were combat xiuzhe, filled with fighting spirit. There were some that were extremely rebellious and were hard to manage. However, when Wei Sheng, Zong Ru, Xie Shan, and the other jindan came out they instantly took care of those disobedient people.
The rebellious people were thrown into the sword formation to experience its torture. The wails that occasionally passed out of the sword formation caused the passersby to uncontrollably tremble.
Turtle Island instantly became orderly.
Every combat xiu that entered Turtle Island would attend the selection for Black Turtle Camp immediately but they quickly comprehended what it meant to be part of a Turtle Island Battalion! The combat xiu that had the bravery to come at this time all had rich combat experience and good strength. In other factions, they could easily become part of the elite battalion. In actuality, many of them had left the elite battalions of other factions to come here and fight.
But these elites came out with dusty faces and dejection after experiencing the first day of qualifications.
They finally tasted the great strength of Turtle Island’s battalions!
Strict regulations that they had never ever heard of, the level of training was so high that many people did not last through the first day. Now these xiuzhe understood that the two hundred combat xiu they saw that first day was the standard combat xiu in Turtle Island. Turtle Island did not have a so-called elite battalion.
Corresponding to the high requirements of Black Turtle Camp was the great benefits that many were jealous of.
The first batch of people that were chosen and went through combat formation training would receive a complete fourth-grade outfit. Many people were jealous of the fourth-grade outfits that Vermillion Bird Camp wore. If they could finish the training, they could receive the same outfit. Where else could they find something as good as this?
Black Turtle Camp was extremely busy.
Zuo Mo took away his gaze. He would not be able to put any hopes on Black Turtle Camp in the short-term. The formation of a battalion required time. The composition of Black Turtle Camp was also extremely varied. There were a mixture of xiuzhe. It took a lot of mental effort to even think of combat formations they could train in.
Fortunately, other than the combat xiu, there were also three silver battle generals. With the help of the three silver battle generals, Ma Fan’s burdened lightened greatly. Even so, according to Lil’ Miss’ estimates, it would take at least one year for Black Turtle Camp to be ready for battle.
“We have found out that there are about three thousand people in this mo army. Their strength isn’t bad,” Gongsun Cha said unconcernedly.
He probably had been influenced by Pu Yao. It was very difficult for this guy to even say “not bad.”
“They have slowed down their advance. They probably want to give us time to gather and then defeat us in one blow.” Lil’ Miss smiled.
Seeing Lil’s Miss’ smile, the surrounding people shivered. Lil’ Miss was angry!
Some people had smiles of schadenfreude. What yaomo, what monsters, if they provoked Lil’ Miss, heeheehee … …
“How are we going to fight?” Shu Long asked straightforwardly.
Shu Long was clear to his strengths and weaknesses. In terms of scheming, ambushing and trickery, he was far from Lil’ Miss’ equal. Therefore, he decided not to waste the brainpower.
Lil’ Miss said lazily, “Why don’t we just charge over? I don’t believe they are stronger than Vermillion Bird Camp!”
