Chapter 1095: Determined to Battle


    Trantor: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire


    The reinforcements from the Eastern Sage Army had not yet formed into a great formation of 10,000 people. They spared no expense to hurry over to provide aid. At this moment, when they saw Qin Wentian leading his men killing his way here, they stopped to form their formation.


    Qin Wentian has already led the thirty-nine battle teams and arrived before them. Just before they finished forming the formation, the ox demon instantlyunched out attacks and manifested terrifying greater demons from its maw. Carnage was everywhere the greater demons passed by. Its hooves smashed down with crushing might, taking the lives of an unknown amount of experts in an instant.


    The other battle teams also erupted forth with tyrannical strength. Those people behind all felt their morale surging up when they saw this scene, radiating an intense battle intent that soared up into the sky, killing their way into the Eastern Sage Army. They wanted to ughter as many enemies as they could before the Eastern Sage Army couldplete their formation.


    The vast majority of elites of the Eastern Sage Army werepletely focused on another part of the battlefield. Hence, the few elites here had no way to stand against Qin Wentian’s regiment. The battle situation reversed because of this, and the initially disadvantaged Thousand Transformations Army suddenly possessed an overwhelming advantage.


    The countenances of the immortal kings in the air turned more and more ugly to behold. This time, they issued an order, telling the troops to put their lives on the line to exterminate the Thousand Transformations Army. However, things were contrary to their wishes. There were too many changes in the battlefield and right now, their Eastern Sage Army was the one in a weaker position.


    An immortal king of the Eastern Sage Army coldly frowned. He naturally understood that ultimately, it was still dependant on the individual controller’sbat prowess. The power of a formation can be channelled better the stronger the controller’sbat prowess was. Regardless of the Eastern Sage Army or the Thousand Transformations Army, there were elites leading these battle teams, achieving great effect on the battlefield.


    Hence, the 5,000 experts he arranged were all crack troops, suddenly appearing at the battlefield for the maximum effect. Five thousand experts could be grouped into fifty elite teams, able to unleash great potential on the battlefield. Just their appearance was sufficient to cause arge part of the Thousand Transformations Army to be mobilized to deal with them. From this, one could see how rare elites are.


    However, the thirty-nine battle teams led by Qin Wentian that suddenly appeared after them caused everything to fall into chaos and overturned the situation. The cultivation bases of these thirty-nine teams weren’t very high, but the controllers of those battle formations all had supremebat prowess.


    "EVERYONE RETREAT!" An immortal king from the Eastern Sage Army sounded the order for retreat. They had no way to continue fighting. If they did so, their losses would be even more heavy.


    The Eastern Sage Army started to retreat but how could those from the Thousand Transformations Army give up such an excellent opportunity? They pursued after their enemies in a frenzy and the clouds of golden sand kicked up were all dyed red with blood. The sun high up in the sky glistened with a blood-red color.


    After waiting for the Eastern Sage Army to retreatpletely, the soldiers of the Thousand Transformations Army formed into a long line as they drew in a deep breath, feeling immense fatigue. However when they stared into the horizons, smiles could be seen on their faces. This was considered a major victory. In this battle, their Thousand Transformations Army was originally suppressed on all sides. They had never experience such a thrilling fight to their heart’s content before, killing tens of thousands of enemies, making the Eastern Sage Army flee in miserable defeat. In fact, many of their elites also died.


    In the air, a group of experts could be seen flying back in the direction of where the Thousand Transformations Army was located. Their true objective wasn’t to really take over Han City. That was merely a strategy. Now that they won an overwhelming victory, they naturally would return to Yuan City.


    "That’s Tianwen’s Regiment. His regiment is so fearsome, and so much more effectivepared to the elite battle teams." The experts in the army all turned their gazes over, their eyes flickering with a brilliant light. It was all thanks to Tianwen leading the battle formation or they would surely suffer a crushing defeat.


    Many had hints of reverence in their gazes when they stared at Qin Wentian and his regiment. This ce was the battlefield. In fact, they have already forgotten the fact about Qin Wentian’s cultivation base and the fact that many of them had higher cultivations than him or are his seniors. The them now only admired this young man who could lead them to victory.


    "Let’s prepare a banquet for celebration after we return." The people all headed back while there were some simultaneously also cleaning up the battlefield.


    After this battle, Qin Wentian’s fame soared to an extreme. Everyone knew that the Tianwen Battle Formation as well as the Tianwen Regiment was an undefeatable army.


    After this battle, the Eastern Sage Army hadn’tunched any attacks for a long time. On the contrary, the Thousand Transformations Army was the one who wouldunch probing provocatory attacks.


    After that, Qin Wentian’s aplishments officially established his position. The regiment he was leading now recruited more elites within their ranks, all of them answering to him.


    .........


    From that time on, half a year passed. Initially the Eastern Sage Army was always at an advantage but now, they were equally matched. In fact, they rather chose to be on the passive defensive side, which resulted in the Thousand Transformations Army feeling a sentiment of pride. They were no longer as cautious as before, and there were plenty of troops issuing challenge battles to the Eastern Sag Army.


    Today, 1,000 experts headed over to issue a challenge battle but they didn’t return at all. Not one of them escaped with their lives.


    In the camp, the military governor, General Lan gathered all those inmand positions to discuss matters. Within the great hall, Qin Wentian and the othermanders were here. They were all d in armor, exuding an aura of imposingness. Qin Wentian’s armor was glistening bright and he had a mask on his face. In the army, he was like this, as mysterious as ever. The vast majority of people didn’t know his true features. They only knew that his cultivation wasn’t high but hisbat prowess was extremely scary. The regiment he led has never suffered a defeat before.


    "Earlier, a thousand of our troops went over for a challenge battle but were all decimated. The Eastern Sage Immortal Sect has formed a Trump Card Army that are all direct disciples of major characters in their sect, with the objective to assist the battle here and destroy us. I’m afraid the Eastern Sage Army wouldunch a major offensive soon. Do any of you have any thoughts on this?" General Lan stared at themanders as he asked.


    "Is the Trump Card Army very strong?" Someone asked.


    "They are overwhelmingly strong, the weakest of them are at the seventh-level of immortal foundation and all of them have exceptionalbat prowess. They are strong enough to threaten our elite battle teams." General Lan spoke.


    "Whatever happens, we will go along with it. Before this we managed to repel the enemies twice and even gain a major victory. Right now, after we reconfigured the Tianwen Regiment, ourbat prowess wouldn’t be inferior to them right?" Somemanders then turned their gazes to Qin Wentian, their eyes filled with a hint of refusal to ept his authority. Qin Wentian is only a second-level immortal, yet his fame in the army has already reached an extreme point. Everyone knew that the Tianwen Regiment is the trump card of the Thousand Transformations Army. In the battles earlier, the greatest military merit rendered all belonged to Qin Wentian. Some people were naturally jealous.


    "Tianwen, what do you think?" The military governor General Lan stared at Qin Wentian as he asked.


    "Let’s fight." Qin Wentian spoke two words. The confidence in his tone caused General Lan’s eyes to flicker. He stared at Qin Wentian, "Tianwen, make your meaning clear."


    "Although the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect has currently recovered, our Thousand Transformations Army has as well. I hope General Lan would be able to initiate the next war and our objective this time around is topletely wipe out the army of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect upying Han City as we take it for ourselves. If we can gain such a grand victory, even more immortal-foundation experts from all around would be inspired to join our army."


    Qin Wentian slowly spoke as he continued, "If not, the people of the entire thirteen prefectures, even if they are from the six prefectures in the western side currently under the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect’s control, would all assume that we would be defeated or sure. Although we won a major victoryst time, it’s not uplifting enough for the morale. If we really can upy Han City, the prestige of our army would shoot up to apletely different level."


    Everyone stared at Qin Wentian in shock. Was this fellow crazy? He wanted to destroy the Eastern Sage Army in one fell swoop and upy Han City?


    During these years, the Eastern Sage Army was always the one taking the initiative tounch attacks while the Thousand Transformations Army had been a passive defensive state. Their only hope was to hold strong, able to repel the ferocious attacks from the Eastern Sage Army but now, Qin Wentian actually boldly suggested, wanting to take Han City for real.


    "Do you truly think that?" General Lan’s eyes flickered, as he stared intently at Qin Wentian.


    "Yes." Qin Wentian nodded. "The Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect will need a grander victory."


    "What you say isn’t wrong, but even if we obtained a great victory and upy Han City, the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect would simply mobilize more troops andunch an offensive. At that time, we would only be facing stronger opponents resulting in stronger pressure. In fact, they might even start tounch attacks against all six of the prefectures currently under our control." General Lan stated.


    "It’s only a matter of time for the Eastern Sage Army tounch attacks on all six prefectures. Does senior believe that we can avoid that? Why don’t we use a grand battle to announce the domineeringness of our Thousand Transformations Army? If the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect really sends more troops over to pressure us, we can simply retreat and see if they really dare to enter the depths of our six prefectures. Even if the Eastern Sage Army has a superiority in terms of numbers, there would also be a limit. They are even more afraid than us to exhaust the vitality of their soldiers." Qin Wentian didn’t mind other viewpoints as hemented.


    "Okay, I will ry your words to General Ox. If he agrees, we will do things your way." General Lan smiled. After that, he stood up and walked out, leaving behind Qin Wentian and the rest of the army.


    Thosemanders all stared at him. The eyes of one expert flickered with sharpness, "Could it be you don’t understand that with ourbat prowess, it’s basically impossible for us to destroy the great army of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect? Even if we went all out with our lives on the line, we would at best only be able to match them in our rate of casualties."


    "What do you think we should do then?" Qin Wentian asked.


    "Wait. We will wait for an opportunity." The other party replied.


    "Opportunity? Even if you wait for all eternity, there would be no opportunity if you don’t create it yourself." Qin Wentian stood up and walked outside as he slowly continued, "The foundations of the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect cannot bepared to the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. If we enter a war of attrition, we would be the one losing in the end. What we need, is victory. We need a victory so grand that it would rouse the spirit of people in all six prefectures under our control. They must be able to see for themselves that the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect is able to win against the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect in a war."
