Chapter Five Hundred and Sixty One – The Beginning of War (2/2)

Those people that exterminated mo would exterminate them as well.

Celestial Planet Guard and Guard Camp carefully kept their guard up. From the way they did this, it was possible to see the difference between the two groups. Every person in Celestial Planet Guard seemed to be anxious fearing they would face great enemies as they moved carefully. Everyone in Guard Camp had calm expressions. Only the light that occasionally flashed through their eyes exposed their wariness.

The skill could be instantly judged!

Shou Ping shook his head inside, and was deeply impacted. He quickly threw all stray throughout to the back of his mind. Everything in front of him was unusual.

A black shadow suddenly flashed by and entered the ranks of Guard Camp.

So fast!

Shou Ping was shocked. The speed of this scout surpassed all people in Celestial Planet Guard.

———

“There are two groups fighting up head, both mo, the fighting is fierce.” A Wen reported the situation that was occurring up ahead.

Zuo Mo’s brow creased. This path was one they had to travel, they could not go around it.

“Let’s go see.”

———

The troop moved silently and the intense battlefield quickly appeared in front of them.

The sky was in chaotic. A small group of mo were surrounded by numerous mo that had dark green wings on their backs. These dark green mo were grouped together like packs of wolves that scattered and gathered, covering the sky, and howling.

“They are Green Yaksha!” Wei reminded Zuo Mo. “They are extremely fast and not weak offensively, innately cold-blooded and desirous of slaughter. They are most skilled in attrition battles, you have to be careful.”

“What weaknesses do they have?” Zuo Mo asked. If Lil’ Miss was here, he definitely would not ask this question. Lil’ Miss seemed to know all the yaomo.

“They like to fight, are easily angered, and their tempers are not well-regulated.” Wei said rapidly, “However, you need to be careful, while normal combat mo are not disciplined, it is easy for battle generals to come out of green yaksha. Those above silver are pretty good, and actually, snake mo also easily produces battle generals.”

Zuo Mo’s gaze quickly landed on a mo wearing a bright red cape on the battlefield. This person was well-built and extremely brave. He stood with empty hands at the front of the formation. Every time he attacked, it was a ball of fire. If the green yaksha that charged were not careful, they would be burnt into ash at a visible rate.

The fatalities of the defending battalion was high. The reason they had not been defeated yet was mostly due to this large mo.

“Daren, they seem to be protecting someone,” Ye Ling said in a low voice. He was experienced and instantly detected it.

Zuo Mo made a sound. He had also noticed this. There were only three hundred people left in this battalion but they were still resisting and protecting an old person.

The fatality rate of the green yaksha was also high but they were in a frenzy, wave after wave battering against the other’s battle formation.

With every wave numerous corpses would drop from the sky, but fatalities would also occur in the other’s battle formation.

Zuo Mo’s expression changed. One side did not care about fatalities, the other side did not retreat a step. The battle was intense and fierce. He had heard Wei and Pu Yao say before that the mo were skilled in battle and that their battles were unusually cruel. Having seen it with his own eyes, it really was so. In comparison, the battles between xiuzhe troops were lacking.

When Shou Ping saw the green yaksha, his expression changed.

Especially when he counted that there were seven to eight hundred green yaksha flying in the air. The green yaksha were not rabble like bandits. Seven to eight hundred yaksha were enough to take down a city.

Thinking about the ruins of the market they had walked past, Shou Ping’s heart sank. Had it been these green yaksha that were responsible?

He couldn’t help but turn to look at Zuo Mo. He saw the other had an expression of ease without any visible panic. He felt embarrassed inside. He was a battle general but he hadn’t seen battle yet; he wasn’t comparable to this youth.

Zuo Mo’s expression was calm but he was slightly panicked inside. He was not as freakish as Lil’ Miss, but his judgement had been honed with practical experience and he was much stronger than average silver battle generals.

The fighting most likely would not finish up in a short period of time.

The large man’s side had fewer people but they were resolved and there seemed to be someone directing them. Their defence was very strict. Other than charging at them, the green yaksha didn’t seem to have a good solution.

The battle probably would continue through to tomorrow night, Zuo Mo guessed inside.

But what he did not want to encounter such a delay.

The two sides fighting quickly noticed Zuo Mo’s group.

An old voice suddenly came from the formation behind the large man. “Which friend is this? This one is Tao Xing from Endless City, please, Friend, give this one a hand in aid. After this battle, this one will give heavy thanks!”

The other was asking for help, but he still maintained his mannerism and there was no panic in his tone.

“Tao Xing!” Shou Ping’s pupils suddenly expanded as he exclaimed.
