495: Prelude to the Great War 495: Prelude to the Great War Lei Zhenhai’s loud voice echoed throughout the entire area at that moment. “Elders and disciples of each sect, form your respective groups.” “The True Thunder Sect, Supreme Sect, Myriad Swords Sect, and Giant Sect, the four sects will guard Boundary Mountain.” “The Heavenly Sound Sect and Desires Sect, guard the left flank of Boundary Mountain!” “The Thousand Refinement Sect and Spirit Beast Sect, guard the right flank of Boundary Mountain!” “The Green Cloud Sect will stay at the rear, ready to respond at any moment!”
The main assault of the Dead Corpse Army was directed toward Boundary Mountain.
But it could not be ruled out that some demon beasts, skilled in climbing or even flying, might cross the Great Wall from other areas.
Therefore, personnel had to guard both the left and right flanks of Boundary Mountain.
Moreover, some fighting strength needed to be preserved, in case one of the sects could not hold its position and needed immediate reinforcement.
Green Cloud Sect’s elders and disciples generally had weaker combat abilities.
Thus, it was most suitable for them to act as the backup force.
After a brief analysis, the elders of the various sects accepted the arrangement, gathering their respective disciples and preparing for battle.
Jiang Fan nodded slightly.
Although Lei Zhenhai was detestable,
Ye Cangyuan had sent him to the front lines to command not only because of some personal relationships;
Lei Zhenhai’s ability to deploy troops was also beyond question.
Gazing at the vast army of the undead,
Jiang Fan felt a tightness in his chest.
This battle’s outcome of life and death was uncertain. “Martial Uncle.”
Suddenly, Xia Chaoge rushed out from the chaotic crowd.
She hurriedly untied the sachet from her waist. “Please take this, Martial Uncle.” “In a critical moment, opening this sachet can save your life.”
Jiang Fan was momentarily stunned but resolutely refused, saying, “You are on the main battlefield and need life-saving items more. How can you give it to me?”
As a disciple of the Supreme Sect, one of the Upper Three Sects,
Xia Chaoge was bound to face the main force of the Dead Corpse Army.
On the other hand, Jiang Fan was stationed at the rear.
Who needed this item more was quite evident, wasn’t it?
But Xia Chaoge firmly placed the sachet into Jiang Fan’s arms, her eyes clear and determined. “Martial Uncle, you have helped me so much, and I have never had the chance to repay you.” “In this battle, the chance of death is high.” “If I don’t repay you now, I may have to wait for my next life.” “Take this, Martial Uncle, so I can fight without distractions.”
Jiang Fan immediately felt the weight in his arms.
He stopped resisting.
With a swift motion, he took out two Replenishing Spirit Pills and two Revitalizing Pills. “Then you should take these as well.”
Xia Chaoge’s eyes lit up.
Both were considered divine objects on the battlefield.
The former could replenish eighty percent of her Spiritual Power; with the latter, even a lingering breath could save her life.
Facing a life-and-death battle, she did not refuse, accepting them with a smile, “Thank you, Martial Uncle.” “Furthermore…”
Jiang Fan then took out the necklace of the Demon Priest, pulling off a crystal from it.
Solemnly placing it into her palm, he said, “In times of danger, crush this.” “This item can protect you momentarily.”
When the Demon Priest faced assassination by the Purple Sword, it was this crystal that temporarily strengthened their body, saving them from being killed.
It was also considered a life-saving item. “It’s a woman’s thing.”
Xia Chaoge took it and sniffed the lingering fragrance, showing a puzzled expression.
Jiang Fan laughed, “It’s from the Demon Priest.” “If you don’t like it, you can give it back.”
Xia Chaoge quickly gripped it in her palm, withdrawing it with a mischievous wink. “Since Martial Uncle gives it, why wouldn’t I accept?”
At this moment,
Lu Xiunian’s urging voice came from afar.
Xia Chaoge’s expression tightened.
She looked deeply at Jiang Fan, cupping her hands, saying, “Martial Uncle,” “Please take care.”
Jiang Fan, too, looked solemn and said, “You as well.” “Take care!”
The two exchanged serious looks before parting their ways.
Two hundred human clan members against the innumerable hordes of the Dead Corpse Army.
Who could guarantee their survival until the end?
Shortly after,
Jiang Fan found Liang Feiyan, Ouyang Jun, Xie Liushu, and Yi Lianxing.
He distributed two Replenishing Spirit Pills and two Revitalizing Pills to each.
They had known each other for some time.
Jiang Fan did not want to hear their tragic news.
