Chapter 156 War at Gulu plain
Immediately after Zhu Ming's voice fell, sounds of galloping horses and horse cries rang through the night as thousands of soldiers in armor rushed out from the line of soldiers while riding on horse backs.
The Calvary squad numbered up to then thousand, each of them were in fearsome black armor as well as their horses. They had helmets with openings in front protecting their heads and long spears in one of their hands.
The soldiers let out war cries as they rushed forward, heading for the enemies.
"Archers, ready!" Zhu Ming shouted again and another few hundred soldiers carrying bows and arrows knotted arrows on their bowstrings before positioning themselves.
These soldiers had been trained for years so shooting firing arrows for hundreds of meters wasn't an issue for them even if it was night, they could see clearly anyway.
Zhu Ming turned silent after giving those two commands, they all watched the Calvary squad advancing further away and the line of enemies getting closer. Even after traveling more than five hundred meters away from the rest of the group, Leon and the rest of the soldier could still hear the war cries of the members of the Calvary squad very clearly, their voices traveled far into the night.
Three minutes soon passed and the the distance between the Calvary squad and the enemies was now less than three kilometers, the could now see the soldiers of the Kalahari dynasty more clearly.
They were either in straw coats or silver armor and were carrying twisted bladed weapons.
At this moment, Zhu Ming gave others for the various Generals to lead groups of foot soldiers to engage the enemies.
Generals in golden armor quickly divided the soldiers into groups of tens of thousands before charging out from different routes, some charged out in an arc while others made a straight beeline.
Leon and the others remained in their previous locations, they were not asked to help yet and could only watch the soldiers charging at the enemy. All of these soldiers were ordinary mortals, it was inappropriate for a martial artist to interfere in a battle between mortal to avoid getting targeted by other martial artists who were hiding in the shadows.@@@@
The number of soldiers from the Cloud Dew dynasty that had charged out already surpassed three hundred thousand, they looked like swam of ants on the yellow sand. The ground shook from their charge and the sky exploded from their combined voices.
The number of soldiers still waiting at the back was still more than six hundred thousand, this included the remaining mortal soldiers, martial artists in the army, as well as the various sects.
Leon stared at the soldier in the distance with a look of amazement on his face. In all of his two hundred lifetimes, this was his first time witnessing such a grand sight with thousands of people charging at each other. He had only read and watched about such scenarios but never thought he would witness one. Discover stories with My Virtual Library Empire
This thought filled Leon with a sort of energy that made him itch for action, he wanted to join the soldiers and charge into battle! Of course, the battle he wanted to charge in was between mortal soldiers, not martial artists; the latter was too dangerous and he might die.
Meanwhile, the soldiers of the Kalahari dynasty were now only a few hundred meters away from the Calvary squad at the moment and were coming with great momentum; their numbers seemed to surpass that of the Cloud Dew dynasty's army.
Zhu Ming gave others of the archers to release their bowstrings at this moment.
"Now," he said to Zhu Ming softly. Zhu Ming glanced at him and nodded before turning around to face the remaining soldiers and sect behind her, her eyes were cold and her face was expressionless as if a bloodbath was going on behind her.
" Martial artists of the Kalahari dynasty have started to move, I hope the sects can take care of this." She voiced out calmly, her eyes darting from one face to another; these faces were the leaders of the various sects.
" Of course, leave it to us."
" We'll complete this mission,"
" It's our duty to assist the dynasty,"
The sect leaders voiced out their replies before turning to leave with their people, they would head back to their quarters to assemble their forces.
The Falcon sect was the same, after getting the go ahead signal from Zhu Ming, they all returned to their quarters to gather the disciples and elders.
Bai Quing selected asked the elders to gather five hundred disciples for this mission. Two hundred level 2 disciples, a hundred and fifty level 3 disciples, a hundred level 4 disciples, while the remaining fifty were the prime disciples and elders.
Quin Xuxu, Fengxue, and Lin Shuran were coming as well.
"Let's go!" Bai Quing voiced out and all of them streamed out of their quarters and headed for the south side of the Gulu plain.
They had already been informed of which part they would be operating so they didn't need anyone to lead them there.
More figures appeared and joined them on their way, they were the disciples and elders of three other sect who would be facing enemies of the Kalahari dynasty together.
Their numbers soon reached two thousand.
Fengxue looked around with narrowed eyes and discreetly approached Leon.
"Stay close to me," she whispered.
Leon was puzzled but still listened to her, a strong male voice sounded at this moment.
" Is this the only male disciple of the Falcon sect?"
