Supreme Emperor of Mist

Chapter 204: General of Three Armies (6)

"Kill! Our target is just one person!"

"Xu Hu!" Lu Yi said as he swings his sword while riding on horseback. The speed of his attack unit far surpasses what Expert Xie and Shun could do as he cut the distance between him and Xu Hu to half in a flash.

"Commander! We're under attack from the rear! A few Crimson Mist Soldier is coming for us!" one of Xu Hu's officers said as he panicked. The feeling where a blade is coming for your throat made the officer had an urge to abandon the battlefield.

"What are you getting panic for? It's just a group of fewer than twenty soldiers. All it takes is a single strike from each of my soldiers to send them to hell. Focus on the frontline where they're trying to push through. That will be where we have to focus." Xu Hu pointed at the two experts.

"Expert Xie, there's a trail of dust behind Xu Hu's formation. But it doesn't seem to be made up by him. What I'm thinking is the general must have sent another detachment to keep Xu Hu busy." one of the officers of Expert Xie reported.

"Be it from the general or not, our mission is to strike into Xu Hu's camp without fail. Focus on our task and don't bother with anything else. Our target is only one!" Expert Xie said.

"Claim Xu Hu's head!"

"Woah!"

Everyone was spirited as they muster their strength to charge forward. The momentum suddenly gets stronger as the two units push deeper into Xu Hu's formation, with close to 3600 soldiers remaining.

Meanwhile...

"Run! We can't defend against them!" close to two to three hundred soldiers are scattering everywhere as they're slaughtered mercilessly by Sun Ding Tian's cavalry forces. The horsemen continued to move forward as they try to intercept the retreating path of the Beheading Army that was focused on a battle against Qin Fan.

As for the foot soldiers, they proceed with destroying the siege crossbows before following the route taken by their vanguards.

Everything that happened was done while they're still in the mysterious general's sight. It was like a direct provocation and a challenge thrown into his face.

"Where is Yang Yuan?" the mysterious general asked.

"Commander Yang Yuan was moving deep into the battlefield where the seventh prince and ninth prince are positioned. From the way he moves, he's intended to fight both armies at once." a messenger reported.

"Have you verified the condition of the Chi-Lan Army's commander?" the mysterious general continued to ask.

"Narrowly evaded the killing blow. The commander is retreating right now, protected by two other experts." the messenger added.josei

"We'll move in as well. Sound the drum. We will assist the Beheading Army and pincer the second prince's army between us!" the mysterious general finally decided to move. And his first target would be Sun Ding Tian's army that came to provoke him a while ago.

...

Qiang Shou, come here!" Lu Qing Yun shouts as she called the burly subordinate of Qin Lan to her side. Although he was a little unwilling to listen to Lu Qing Yun's words, he has no choice as he was injured heavily from the previous explosion.

As for Expert Yi, he's busy taking care of the others, such as Han Xue, Yi Feng, and You Qing, as all of them retreated with the core member of their team.

"To think that they've planted the Flames of Kuanglei along our route. This time, it's really our own mistake for not noticing the trap before we stepped in..." Qin Fan shook his head.

At least close to two hundred of their core servants from the Qin Faction were killed in this blast. It was an impactful incident as this will hinder their attacking strength the next time moving forward.

"The Beheading Army is here! Prepare for battle!" one of the Crimson Mist soldiers yelled as his iconic red sword clashed with his opponent's weapon. A battle immediately started again as they were pursued from behind.

"Does that means the men we left back there were all killed?" Expert Yi asked.

"Very likely... Wait... There shouldn't be so much dust coming toward us... Don't tell me... Yang Yuan is here?" Lu Qing Yun was getting nervous as she noticed the incoming trail of dust towards their location.

"Everyone, get ready for battle!" Expert Yi yelled. The close to 1,500 Crimson Mist Soldiers remained buckled up and prepared to engage against the incoming soldiers.

But the moment the flag of (Second Prince) appeared in their sight, everyone released the breath they were holding. Not a single one of them expected that Sun Ding Tian's army would be here to their rescue. Although their number was merely less than a thousand, it was better than nothing.

...

"Order!" a messenger arrives respectively at Sun Chen Long and Sun Wu Jian's camp.

"Speak." the two princes immediately tensed up as the messenger they've been waiting for finally arrived at their camp.

"General's order! Seventh Prince Sun Chen Long and his soldier of 3,500 men will engage with Yang Yuan immediately. Keep him busy until the general arrives on the battlefield!" said the messenger as he rolled the scroll together.

"Relay my command! All soldiers, get ready to engage with Yang Yuan! Brother Leng, it's time for us to go into battle." Sun Chen Long accepted the scroll from the messenger and turned his attention to Leng Ching, the top outer sect disciple of Cloud Plucking Sect.

"Haih... I guess we can't escape this battle..." Leng Ching shook his head and left the camp with the three medicinal cauldrons hovering around him.

"General's order! The ninth prince Sun Wu Jian is to assist the Crimson Mist Army as soon as possible! Expect to engage in a battle against our opponent's core forces!" the messenger in Sun Wu Jian's camp said.

"It's our time. Huang Ping, Wang Xun, brother Shan! Let's go!" Sun Wu Jian has done the armor on him. Taking the Precelestial Earth Grade (Full) Offensive Treasure fixed on his waistbelt, he prepared to enter the battle.

Meanwhile...

"How can you guys get here so quickly?" the twenty elite soldiers finally arrive at Xu Hu's camp.

"You wanted to know how? Go to hell! Perhaps some of your subordinates will be willingly telling you when you're down there!" Lu Yi replied as he swung his Bronze Xuan Sword at Xu Hu.
