841 Xuandu Guards (1/2)
”When troops meet at a narrow road, the courageous will win?”
He Daoren muttered to himself, looking at the 20,000 troops who were lined up at the foot of the mountain.
He knew that these were Zhuang Yu's guards, made up of elites hand-picked by him after many battles. After 5 years, only now did they take a rough shape. They were called the Xuandu Guards.
However, what was unexpected was that Zhuang Yu had never used this army on the battlefield to date.
This was because he was god-like at using troops, often he didn't need to personally fight the wars. He didn't need to spend much effort to defeat the enemy. Due to his fame, often when the enemy saw his flag, they would flee.
This resulted in people of the world knowing about his close guards, but they never heard about their achievements.
Zhuang Yu wanted to use this elite army here to fight head-on and beat the enemy that outnumbered them 50 to 1.
Or would there be any other surprises today?
His eyes flashed as he suddenly laughed, ”Brother Zhuang's plan shouldn't be just that right?”
”I do indeed have some other methods. I already started planning 5 years ago. I have some chess pieces in the countries in the east. Some people have the same goals while I threatened some and held others hostage!”
Casually explaining, he wasn't fazed by the shocked expression on He Rendao's face, ”However, even if I were to use these chess pieces, I need them to be willing. If they can't see any hope at all, how would I hope for these people to willingly betray?”
The moment he said this, Zhuang Yu's eyes were filled with shock, only to see several people fly over and stand in the air.
He recognized all of them. They met a few times in Yuanjing Palace and knew that they were the few Spirit Realm Cultivators who followed that person to conquer Yuanlian World.
Especially the young cultivator who was leading, whom he couldn't forget after just one look.
In his life, apart from his current Ruler, he was the most outstanding teen he had ever seen.
It was said that he was a really important junior disciple of the Sword Sect and his position in Yuanjing Palace was only below Zong Shou.
At this moment, he bowed toward him, ”I am on orders from the Ruler here to help Capital Commander! Ruler ordered that you are in charge of everything. We won't let the Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty Cultivators disturb the war matters.”
Just as he said this, a 40-year-old cultivator suddenly sent out an item that floated down.
It was a giant golden ring that spun, giving off a Spiritual Light.
Behind it were actually rows of armored warriors who walked out from within the light.
First was 5,000 Red Armored Swordsmen and then 5,000 Crossbowmen. They too wore red armor, just that it was slightly thinner.
Great Gan's color was red, that really was the case.
What shocked Zong Shou was that this Cavalry Army was all at Grade-6.
The armor was also specially made. The 2,000 of them were like one, their Energy Meridians linked together like a wave.
The cavalry troops were not bad too, standing still as strong as a boulder!
Feng Taiji explained, ”This is my Sword Sect's treasure, the Treasure Hiding Space Ring. Unfortunately, it can only carry no more than 10,000 troops. However, Ruler's elites are all here! 5,000 Big Dipper Sword Soldiers, 5,000 Big Dipper Crossbow Soldiers, 2,000 Black Fox Iron Cavalry. They are really famous in the Cloud World! All of them will be under your command!”
Zhuang Yu's eyes lit up and then it dimmed down. It seems like Ruler has already seen through all his plans.
”Ruler is wise!”
Those words truly came from the bottom of his heart. He could evidently see that these 12,000 people were the strongest power in Zong Shou's hands.
Tossing them here was both trust toward him as well as support for his strategy.
Following this, he squinted and looked into the distance, ”They are here!”
Even if they were dozens of miles away, they could still hear the rumbling noise. Thousands, tens of thousands of horse hooves striking the ground, causing the mountain to shake.
