Chapter Seven Hundred and Seventy Four – Shock (1/2)
Chapter Seven Hundred and Seventy Four – Shock
“What?” Hai Jin Yun abruptly stood up with shock and fury on his face. His voice became sharp and ear-piercing. “Defeated? You say they were defeated? Two mo marshals fighting a guy that no one even knew the name of before, and they were defeated?”
Hai Jin Yun became more excited as he spoke, his gold face full of murderousness. His eyes were cold and his tone became cruel and emotionless. “Where are they? Have them come see me!”
Hai Jin Yun and Shang Yu Sheng were responsible for leading this campaign. They could order anyone on the front lines of the Mo Marshal Alliance, and they could also punish anyone.
Two mo marshals leading two full battalions to fight a single battalion that didn’t even have a top battle general. Even if the other had the seal formation defense line, their advantage was absolute.
Hai Jin Yun was filled with murderousness. The two mo marshals had no reason to be defeated!
In his view, there were only two reasons that they would lose with such a great advantage. One was because their forces were cowardly, the other because they were useless. Neitherwas a reason he could tolerate.
The mo colonel bent his head and said with a hint of grief, “The two daren died in battle.”
Hai Jin Yun’s expression froze on his face. At the side, Shang Yu Sheng also had a surprised expression.
While the times had changed, and mo marshals were not as valuable as before, it was still rare for mo marshals to die in battle. The shen era had just started, and there were just a rare few outstanding geniuses that had caught up to the last era’s power. The great majority of people were still struggling at the lower levels. A thin camel was still bigger than a horse. While mo marshals position had fallen from being the best fighters to being first-class fighters, they were still strong.
Died in combat, that meant they had not retreated!
The death of any mo marshal in combat could not be dismissed. They were not surprised by Quan Pei’s death because his opponent had been Bie Han. Mo marshals did not have the ability to fight back a top battle general.
But Ma Fan, who was he?
This person was not among the ten great generals of the xiuzhe world, and the amount of intelligence they had about this person was pitifully small. They only knew he was skilled in defense and had followed Zuo Mo for a long time. They didn’t know anything else.
Was the Ma Fan Battalion a decoy? And the one in charge was actually Gongsun Cha?
Even now, Hai Jin Yun could not believe this.
Shang Yu Sheng suddenly spoke, his tone as slow as usual, “Describe the events in detail.”
“Yes! They formed a seal formation defense line, and Ma Fan Battalion went on the defensive relying on that. The two daren discussed and thought that we had the advantage so they attacked. Because the enemy battalion did not have many people, the two daren chose six positions to attack. Each good for breakthroughs to put pressure on the enemy. When the battle started, we quickly gained the upper hand. However, the enemy was hardy and the fighting was intense.”
This lucky survivor showed sorrow, his tone deep. “After about an hour, the battle proceeded about the same as any offensive on a city. The two daren thought that the enemy might have used up its energy and decided to put on more pressure. At this time, the other finally showed a weakness.”
Yue Daren is the strongest in breakthrough and he did not hesitate to lead his elites to charge in. No one expected that it was the enemy’s trap! There were demons here! They were truly demons … …”
The mo colonel’s tone became excited, his lips trembling, his body shuddering and his eyes filled with shock.
Hai Jin Yu and Shang Yu Sheng exchanged a look. Both of them felt intimidated.
“Calm down!” Hai Jin Yun shouted sternly.
The mo colonel seemed to wake up and had an ashamed expression. However, his voice still trembled. “There was an elite troop waiting in the trap. When Yue Daren and the others charged in, this elite force suddenly charged out. The soldier at the front could not be stopped, he was ferocious, and no one could stop even one of his attacks. Yue Daren found the situation was dangerous and went out to intercept him. The two met in a single clash.”
The mo colonel’s body trembled even more violently.
“And then?” Hai Jin Yun couldn’t help asking.
“And then … … and then Yue Daren died!” Two streams of tears fell from the mo colonel’s eyes.
Hai Jin Yun and Shang Yu Sheng changed expression. The two exchanged a look and saw the shock in each other’s eyes. To kill a mo marshal with one attack, what kind strength would it take … …
They had never thought that someone would cultivate such a freakish path.
“Was that person wounded?” Shang Yu Sheng couldn’t resist asking.
The mo colonel worked through his sorrow and tried to think back. “That person was also injured, and covered in blood. However, this person was courageous and strong, he did not retreat. He changed his shen equipment and continued to fight! When Daren died, everyone’s morale plummeted. The battlefield was chaotic, and most of us were quickly killed.”
“Then He Daren? How did he die?” Hai Jin Yun asked urgently.
“The death of Yue Daren was a great shock to He Daren. The enemy was very strong and stuck themselves to He Daren’s battalion. He Daren’s battalion seemed to be stuck in a bog and could not escape. The situation was chaotic at the time, and our battalion was scattered. No one fully knows what happened. I heard an enormous explosion, and then realized that He Daren most likely … …”
Hai Jin Yun and Shang Yu Sheng sank into silence.
