1220 Soldier Against Soldier, General Against General! (1/2)
The main reason why Chuangshang Beidao decided to begin the attack in the middle of the night was because of Gu Han! He calculated that Gu Han would definitely have to come out to him if he challenged him in front of everyone. If he did not come because of any kind of reason, the blow to the army would be too great.
With Gu Han's personality, he would not be able to accept this kind of result. And so, he would definitely accept the challenge.
But the sky was already dark, and with heaven defying stealth techniques, if Gu Han really came out, the possibility of him falling into an ambush would be at least over 80 percent! With such chances, it would be no different from commiting suicide!
If Gu Han was defeated, or even killed here, the impact it would deal to the allied army would undoubtedly be extremely huge!
However, Chuangshang Beidao's carefully thought out plan had been thoroughly destroyed by Jun Mo Xie!
Gu Han had already cultivated for over 5,000 years, so he was naturally not an idiot. How would he not understand what Chuangshang Beidao was planning? He also knew that if he went out to meet the challenge, he would most likely meet some great dangers, having very low chances of escaping. But if it was still up to him now, he would still have no choice but to go and fight! Because, he represented the 10,000 years old honour and glory of the three Holy Lands.
Gu Han could be defeated, and he could even be killed. However, the 10,000 years old honour and pride of the three Holy Lands could not be tarnished!
Now that Chuangshang Beidao's scheme had been exposed, instead of being angry, he actually laughed. ”Indeed! This Seat had indeed laid a trap, calculating that Gu Han would come out and fight, even if he wasn't willing to. But I hadn't expected that this scheme would actually be spoilt with just a few words from you! From the looks of it, you are the person who truly deserves this Seat's future considerations! For an expert like this, are you truly going to be so stingy with your name?”
Jun Mo Xie chuckled. ”For you to be able to acknowledge your foe like this is indeed rather magnanimous. But I'm sorry, although my name is not really any great secret, I cannot tell it to you.”
”Why is that?” Chuangshang Beidao furrowed his brows.
He couldn't understand this at all. The other person's name was not a secret, yet he refused to tell him it. Does he plan to frustrate me to death?
”The reason is simple; it's because you disgust me too much! That is all.” Jun Mo Xie said in a casual manner. ”If my name was found out by you, it would be an unbearable shame for me! So, one second delayed of you knowing it is one second gained…”
As soon as those words rang out, the entire battlefield was filled with laughter!
This bunch of warriors who had already started to grow frenzied from killing, instantly felt a great relaxing feeling in their hearts as they roared with joy.
”Bastard!” Chuangshang Beidao cursed with rage: ”Come out here! If you have the guts, come and have a fight with me!”
Jun Mo Xie snorted, rolling his eyes with disdain. ”F*ck your granny!”
This curse was so crisp and relentless, resonating loud and clear through the battlefield.
Everyone: ...
It wasn't clear what kind of expression Chuangshang Beidao had on his face right now, but the allied side was a sea of joy. Even the solemn and cold faced experts of the three Holy Lands, could not help but to reveal wide smiles on their faces.
Inside the planning tent, Jun Mo Xie looked at everyone and said with a serious expression. ”The strange races are cruel and cunning, and they have an absolute advantage in terms of numbers. This war is one that is fraught with dangers! We must always have a well thought out strategy to deal with them!”
”What kind of strategy does Manor Lord Jun mean?” Gu Han asked with a heavy expression.
”Right now, we have four peak experts. You, me, Xue Yan, and the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master…”
The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master interrupted with a cold snort: ”Not four, three! I'm not with you guys. This is a war between the Xuan Xuan Continent and the strange races; it has nothing to do with this Young Master!”
”Whatever you say, then. Do whatever you like. In any case, we weren't pinning any hopes on you. Three then. The three of us must tend strictly to our stations, never leaving it no matter what! This is an extremely important point.”
Jun Mo Xie rolled his eyes at the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master and continued: ”Xue Yan will be stationed at the base of the army, taking charge of moving and arranging the troops. This is an extremely important position, and you will be an anchor for the main army, holding the line and receiving reinforcements arriving from the continent. At the same time, you will be responsible for the arrangement of the troops based on the changes of the battlefield. Do not let down your guard for even a moment!”
Mei Xue Yan nodded, her eyes growing extremely determined. Although the position that Jun Mo Xie had arranged for her was at the backlines was the safest, her responsibilities were also the heaviest!
The victory and defeat of this entire war rested very heavily in her hands! In that moment, Mei Xue Yan only felt an extremely heavy responsibility on her shoulders.
”As for Old Gu, you are responsible for the side of the Holy Lands!” Jun Mo Xie looked deeply at Gu Han and said. ”Tomorrow, or perhaps the day after, the battle will erupt in full force. At the most appropriate time, the people of the three Holy Lands may very possibly be arranged to be the first wave of soldiers, pushing forward all the way! Old Gu, don't forget the things I've said to you!”
Gu Han's expression was grave as he nodded: ”That is only natural!”
”As for myself, I will be in charge of the troop movements at the frontlines!” Jun Mo Xie chose the most dangerous location for himself. Looking sternly at everyone, he emphasized word by word: ”Everyone, no matter which side you belong to, you must remember one thing! This is a war right now, not an exchange of skills of the pugilistic world. It also isn't a competition of skills between two people! Every action you make involves the safety of billions of people!
”Soldier against soldier, general against general! This is the most common knowledge of the battlefield!” Jun Mo Xie said slowly: ”You must remember, Saint Venerables have Saint Venerable opponents, and Saint Emperors have Saint Emperor opponents! You must not act with emotion, showing yourselves to slaughter the weak soldiers! Every bit of energy you use unnecessarily, will give the opponent's same level experts a higher chance of victory! Our numbers are already smaller compared to the enemy, so we cannot afford to waste any experts!
