Chapter Five Hundred and Sixty One – The Beginning of War

“This is the intelligence we have gathered, we have identified jies with chaos rifts.” Xie Shan’s face was tired but his eyes were unusually bright. “There are three jie in total!”

“East Flow Jie, Middle Granary Jie and Cloud Gate Jie.”

The enormous mirage showed a gigantic jie map.

Gongsun Cha listened closely, fearful he would miss a detail. Ma Fan, Wei Ran, and the others stood in ordered ranks.

“There hasn’t been any action at East Flow Jie’s chaos rift. Cloud Gate Jie’s chaos rift leads to the yao territories, and Earth Universe Sect in Cloud Gate Jie is very powerful and possess six battalions. They control almost half of Cloud Gate Jie.” Xie Shan’s intelligence was very detailed as he steamed on. “Our best target is Middle Granary Jie. It isn’t just the closest to us, its largest local sect was defeated. They are in chaos. It has been confirmed that the attacks are a mo battalion. It is definitely the mo territories behind the chaos rift. Because there have not been any mo hostages, we are unsure at the moment which jie it is.”

“As long as it leads to the mo territories, it is valuable to us.” Gongsun Cha caused everyone to sit up in alertness.

He stood up and slowly scanned the crowd. Everyone sat up straight.

“Everyone should know what is going on with Shixiong.” Gongsun Cha’s tone was very calm but his ruffled bangs could not stop the light of his eyes.

“Our goal is very simple, reinforce Shixiong! But if we enter any mo jie, we will create an endless struggle with the surrounding mo territories.”

“But we must reach into the mo territories so we can reinforce Shixiong.” Gongsun Cha had clearly thought this through. His rationale was clear. “We can create our own mo battalion using Guard Camp and Shi Dong. These mo battalions can enter the mo territories and then reinforce Shixiong. We can even turn Cloud Sea Jie into a place where yao, mo and xiuzhe can coexist. This is hard, but not impossible.

Everyone showed thoughtful expressions. After a few moments of thought, they nodded slightly and fighting spirit started to burn in their eyes.

Lil’ Miss smiled slightly. The bashful smile of the neighbor’s boy appeared. The eyes behind the bangs grew even brighter. His calm tone was filled with an indescribable insanity. “But before this, we need to take over the chaos rift and the territory that can lead into the mo territories! We need more battalions! We need more resources! We need to become stronger!”

Everyone’s eyes flashed crazily. They felt as though their blood was burning.

“Are you ready?”

The demonic slight smile and the furious fighting spirit crossed like light and dark on Gongsun Cha’s raised face.

“Yes!” Everyone stood up and shouted together.

Gongsun Cha walked next to Middle Granary Jie on the mirage. He turned around, his bashful smile filled with cold fighting spirit.

“The war has begun!”

Shi Dong’s progress in Little Savage Jie was extremely quick. Right now, he had taken over all of Little Savage Jie. In the past, he had not been trusted but he had fame in Little Savage Jie. Everyone knew that Shi Dong was a very strong battle general.

So when Shi Dong suddenly returned to fight, other than his former leader that called for his head, no other power said anything. In the mo territories, events like this happened everyday. For those noble families, there were things like glory and honor; but for these little factions, the strongest was king. Whomever had the biggest fist was the leader.

Shi Dong faced off against his former boss. Before he could attack, the boss’ subordinates mutinied. Everyone knew that Shi Dong had not to been fully trusted but the boss, but everyone also knew how strong Shi Dong was. Being former allies they also knew better than other people. To stay alive, they directly surrendered.

After the great victory, Shi Dong dissolved the local battalions according to Lil’ Miss’ orders and selected the elite ones to replenish Grey Camp,

In a short period of time, Grey Camp had expanded to three times its former size yet he had only picked the top quality mo troops.

However, he also knew that it would take a certain amount of time for this reformed Grey Camp to be battle-ready.

But with [Great Day Hardship Guard] he had enough confidence he could make Grey Camp into a top-rank battalion!

However, he clearly underestimated Turtle Island’s strength.

He received Lil’ Miss’ orders for Grey Camp to send members in a rotation to go to Turtle Island and undergo special training.

Special training?

He was slightly puzzled. What kind of training was special training?

However, these were orders and he knew what his duties were, instantly arranging it.

Zuo Mo did not know that there were countless eyes watching their journey.

The name of Butcher Guard Camp intimidated small forces and attracted the attention of larger forces. Though they were not willing to provoke Guard Camp, it did not stop them from secretly investigating them.

There had clearly been a fierce battle here. The market’s ruins and the burnt black soil all pointed to this.

Everyone’s nerves were tight. They were not worried about encountering bandits, but were very worried about encountering large battalions, especially xiuzhe battalions.

It was a dangerous matter for Shou Ping’s group to fight against xiuzhe, enemies they were unfamiliar with.

Zuo Mo didn’t want to encounter them either because his identity might be exposed. Even though Guard Camp didn’t appear any different than mo after Wei’s teachings, but those large sects were immeasurable in skill. If he was exposed, it definitely would not be fun.
