A Year of Great Undertakings - Book 6, Chapter 82: Mobilizing (2/2)
Cheng Tianhai was rendered speechless
Yes, the Bloodline nobility Clans had never devolved to fighting with each other They had always faced off against outsiders as allies Would the Boundless Sect really ignore these ever-present external threats?
If that was the case, the Boundless Sect would definitely see their selfishness for the sake of the bigger picture Even the Boundless Sect’s own disciples would probably feel that way
“But those Bloodline nobility Clans are increasingly beco a thorn in our side If this continues, ill have a hard ti in the future,” Jun Moxie said
“If it’s hard to expand, then so be it,” Su Chen calone too smoothly for us up until noe seem to have lost the ability to handle s our opponents just because we are having a hard ti a lot of other possibilities Of course, there are some enemies that are an exception”
His subordinates could be as impulsive as they wanted, but as the Sect Master, it was Su Chen’s responsibility to remain even-keeled
He knew that so wouldn’t have a major effect on the overall situation
His ultin races
In the end, it was still shi+ Kaihuang who understood what his disciple was thinking “You htly “It’s about ti the Astrals now? Then what about those nobles who keeptrouble for us?” Lin Shaoxuan asked
“Let theive up on expanding for now and immediately retract our forces,” Su Chen replied
Retracting their forces would be the best way to prepare fora full-power assault
Before every important offensive expedition, it was important to prepare adequately and decrease control over surrounding areas in order to gather strength
They had done this when assaulting the Abyss, and noas no exception
Su Chen continued, “If those nobles want to make trouble, let them The more, the better The Boundless Sect’s focus should not be placed on the gain or loss of these individual cities We must look at the future Half of the Primordial Continent is still in the hands of the Beasts, and of the half controlled by the Intelligent Races, we have less than a third of that territory There is so much land to be claimed and so many enemies to kill These cities pale in comparison When we return victorious, then you can look and see who else dares to stir up trouble If there are still people bouncing around then, we can swiftly exact our retribution then!”
This short and sied to stir up a sense of heroism in the hearts of all who heard
This hat it meant to have a broad view
In Su Chen’s eyes, the Bloodline nobility Clans were no more than clowns and weren’t worth his attention or consideration Once the powerful enemies were dealt with, then he would have the bandwidth to unsparingly weed out those who still dared toquickly came to an end after that
On that day, the Boundless Sect began to retract their influence and prepared to assault the Astrals
The sect’s disciples, who had been scattered all across huroups that had been harassing the Boundless Sect thought that they had been victorious and celebrated, but there were others who felt that the Boundless Sect’s actions were abnornificant was about to take place
However, no one had any clue what kind of stor to stir up
The Demonic Wind Altar was a small town at the border of Owl Country and Astral territory
Because this place was remote and desolate, notin this place was that land was plentiful, but one of the downsides was that it was often besieged
So, while other ti back
Typically, it was the hu offensives
The Astrals weren’t exactly skilled when it came to frontal confrontations
As such, hue in a frontal shon
Owl Country was the only country that held the advantage against an external invading force
Of course, they didn’t consider theh the Astrals weren’t very good at fighting head-on, they were still not easy to deal with
Their sneaky tactics and their ability to control other humans were tricky to deal with, and there were quite a few people who preferred to die on the battlefield than try and fight the Astrals
For this reason, Owl Country’s soldiers never went out in sainst the Astrals Instead, they would move out company by company Even in the most remote of locations, they would either choose to station an entire company or no one at all
In addition, they abided by a number of strict rules
You weren’t even allowed to use the bathroom on your own
Deh there were only a few dozen civilians here, there were a thousand soldiers stationed here
As per usual, the soldiers trained during the day and stood guard at night
The guards stood in pairs, gazing up at the night sky and chatting with one another
“Hey, stay alert Don’t let us be a it,” the captain called out from not too far away
“What ambush?” one of the soldiers said lazily “The Astrals won’t slaughter their way over Instead, they’ll sneak up and just control us It’ll be over before we even realize it”
“Absolutely I’ve been a soldier for so long, but I’ve never seen a large group of soldiers before”
Soroup of soldiers, aren’t we?”
The group of soldiers all laughed
As they were laughing, however, a soldier suddenly felt that solanced up in the sky before all the color drained from his face “Cap- Captain!”
“What is it?” the captain asked impatiently
The soldier staroup of so- soldiers”
“What?” The captain was stunned and i to pull? Where did the Astrals get a large group of soldiers from?”
The soldier pointed above “Up up there”
The rest of the soldiers looked up at the sky and were iasted
They watched as countless cultivators flew past overhead, shooting into the darkness ahead
