I Can See Your Combat Power

Chapter 666: Chapter 662: Final Battle (20)

After hearing Cui Ying’s words, many martial artists in the Great Hall nodded their heads in agreement and felt a sense of admiration for him. After all, the Alliance Leader must consult with the representatives before risking a fight to the death with the Mi Clan. Otherwise, it would be no different from a dictatorship.

At this moment, Cui Ying has become the representative of the alliance members, making the families in the hall remember his name. Many families even expressed their support directly.

“Alright, everyone, please quiet down.” Tang Zhi laughed and waved his hand to silence the crowd. “As Cui Clan Leader said, the alliance’s decisions must be approved by the representatives. So, let me explain why we must attack the South Ridge at this moment, and then you can decide whether or not to follow.”

“As I just mentioned, the alliance isn’t just for the Tang Clan, but for everyone. North Mountain will be our base in the future. If we leave a power-hungry Coalition to the side, how can we sleep peacefully in the future? ‘If you want to resist foreign enemies, you must first ensure internal stability.’ The attack on South Ridge is, of course, for revenge. But more importantly, it is to clear obstacles for the alliance. That’s the first point.”

“Secondly, the Wancheng Treasure Ship is not only owned by the Tang Clan. Once we defeat the Mi Clan, the future alliance will have exponential benefits.” Tang Zhi smiled calmly and indifferently, speaking to everyone in a low voice, “And after this battle, we can confirm which family will be the first to benefit. After all, ‘contribution’ needs to be visible and comparable. How can martial artists establish merits without fighting? What do you think?”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

With all objections dispelled, Tang Zhi scanned the room: “So, for the first major battle proposed by the Alliance leader, how many families are willing to participate!?”

The people in the great hall each exchanged glances. Many were swayed by Tang Zhi’s speech. Although it seemed like a bad time to invade South Ridge, he was right in saying that the alliance had to face a battle eventually if it wanted to grow.

The lure of two Wancheng Treasure Ships was too great to resist. Just thinking about acquiring another ship known as the ‘ship of treasures’ after conquering the South Ridge, everyone felt a surge of impulse.

“Cui of Lanshan City is willing to participate in this attack!”

While others were still hesitant, Cui Ying was the first to voice his willingness. He spoke to Tang Zhi, his voice clear.

Next came Ye from Boma City, Yang from Qutang City, the alliance of several tribes in Mount Fuling, and some standout family alliances.

Under their leadership, the atmosphere of indecisiveness changed instantly. Everyone rushed to revise their stance, fearing they hadn’t made their positions clear.

“Good!” Tang Zhi declared in high spirits, “Gather your troops, along with spiritual armor, medicines, and Xuanji Jade. After finishing your preparations, we’ll counterattack South Ridge at noon!”

Initially anxious martial artists eased when they heard ‘Xuanji Jade’. If they had Xuanji Jade, every Fierce Realm fighter wouldn’t hesitate to battle!

The attacking alliance was pushed back to their original locations by the enemies. Mi Jin, the Coalition leader, was waiting at the entrance to meet them. The first thing he saw was a large group from Big Travel Mountain. The ship was led by Xiao Jinlin and Wan Qianyi, followed by the elite troops of the Mi Clan.

Although he hadn’t taken a detailed look, Mi Jin was sure that the ship was filled with his troops. Full of doubts, Mi Jin went to meet them hoping to console Wan Qianyi and find out what happened. He was confused because a Wind Media report had clearly stated that the Coalition troops were ambushed while attacking the Tang Clan headquarters and suffered heavy losses. However, the first few large ships were filled with his warriors.

Seeing the large ship entering the port, Mi Jin pressed down his doubts and went up to welcome it. He wanted to comfort Wan Qianyi first and find out what had happened.

Wan Qianyi, who descended from the ship, saw Mi Jin approaching, bowed slightly, and said, “I’m sorry to have failed the trust of General Mi. All the coalition forces that landed on North Mountain have been withdrawn. Now, the entire group of Big Travel Mountain is on the safe ship in the harbor. Please, Clan Leader Mi, take inventory.”

In usual circumstances, the coalition forces would go through this process when setting out and returning from a campaign. The aim was to prevent any special Wind Media from infiltrating their ranks.

But Mi Jin didn’t care about these details at the moment. He grabbed Wan Qianyi’s arm and said, “I’m glad you’re back, Wan Commander. Could you tell me about the losses suffered by your Big Travel Mountain troops and where are the other troops?”

“Fortunately, with the help of Xiao Clan Leader and other warriors of the Xiao Clan, almost all of the Big Travel Mountain troops have returned safely. Only a few soldiers couldn’t bear the spiritual shock caused by the Fierce Realm and fainted. We didn’t suffer any other casualties.” Wan Qianyi felt lucky to mention this, because Big Travel Mountain was not only home to the Mi Clan’s troops but also to his Wan’s elite force. To be able to return intact from the hands of dozens of Fierce Realms led by several Tang Clan’s offerings, he still found it incredible.

Upon hearing that their elite soldiers were saved thanks to Xiao Jinlin, Mi Jin joyfully said, “Thank you, Xiao Clan Leader, for your help!”

“Mi Clan leader, you’re too polite.” Xiao Jinlin replied calmly, “But now we need to figure out how to deal with the Tang Clan’s reinforcements.”

Speaking of the 300 Fierce Realms that appeared out of nowhere, Mi Jin’s brows furrowed. If it weren’t for these people suddenly appearing, the coalition would have already taken over the Tang Clan’s headquarters on Baoding Mountain. The millennia-long feud between Tang Mi’s two clans would be settled, and the previously established advantage would have been preserved, but now they were back to square one. Further, the coalition warriors suffered heavy losses due to these individuals which was very infuriating.

“Don’t worry, Xiao Clan leader. We have already gathered information on the origins of this reinforcement from the Tang Clan. We will settle this account. For now, I ask you all to rest and recuperate.” Mi Jin, almost gritting his teeth, said to the two men.

While they were talking, a few more large ships sailed into the port. Unlike the ships that had carried the troops of Big Travel Mountain, the new arrivals reeked of battle. The cries of wounded soldiers on the deck could be heard clearly in the cold night.

Even before docking, the men on these ships called out to the medics on the shore, “What are you doctors waiting for? They only have a few cowards who fainted from fear. Leave them and come here! We are fully covered with wounded soldiers!”

Hearing the call, doctors scrambled towards the other ships. Bai Qi and Pan Bing flew down from the ship and landed next to Mi Jin. They nodded at him as a form of greetings. Turning to Wan Qianyi, Bai Qi joked, “Hey, isn’t that Commander Wan? Are you trying to take credit? I bought all the elite soldiers of the Mi Clan back. Praise me, praise me!”
