Chapter 566: Chapter 37: Arriving at the Jiangnan Eighteen States_4

[This kid figured it out!]

[But Fan Qing quietly mastered Yuwen Hua’s training method and then this guy started a grand martial tournament within the Qilin Army, with the victor enjoying the honey-roasted meat provided by the omnipotent Lei Laomeng]

[Note: Lei Laomeng discovered hibernating bears, kicked down the door, dragged them out, and the number of exotic beasts increased]

[Yuwen Hua experienced his first failure, Fan Qing’s Yin Yang Cutting Formation was initially successful]

[Yuwen Hua immediately began training troops as well]

[The first Qilin Army grand martial tournament begins]

[The Seven Old Ghosts laughed especially heartily]

In the imperial calendar of the Great Emperor, the eleventh year of Tianqi, February.

[Shaking Light deployed formations to conceal the iron mines and continued the toilsome march]

[Broken Village Seven gradually approached the Jiangnan Eighteen States]

[Among the mountain bandits, there were many fierce and rugged types, as well as defeated troops]

[In the mountains and forests, they discovered a hermit from a reclusive sect, hidden in a valley, who claimed to be from the era of the Red Emperor. To avoid the calamities of the Red Emperor and the Overlord, they hid there, passing down their lineage for hundreds of years, surviving by absorbing refugees and gradually growing their numbers]

[They explained in detail about the worldly affairs and a group of young people were willing to join]

[Damn]

[I said you have land, they said they wish to follow you and see the world]

[The ranks of the Qilin Army’s warriors increased, the armored ones numbered four thousand five hundred, with logistics personnel at the same number]

[Nine thousand people, it’s not working anymore, I’ve reached the limit of my command]

[One person, just one more person, and I feel like my team is going to collapse outright]

[Also, Nangong Wumeng found a copper mine]

[I’m numb by now. I told her if she’s capable, find a gold mine]

[She gave me a look as if asking what do you want to do?]

[Additionally, god damn veterinarians, these people created an elixir named "Kidney Blood Building Soup" using [Bajitian, Poria, Cuscuta, Cistanche, Angelica, Raspberry, Schisandra] among others, and managed to filter out the aspects that stimulate carnal desire based on a medication formula provided by a pig butcher]

[They created an elixir that can cause the blood to boil with increased strength, stirring up the vitality]

[It also seems to have the feature of inducing a ’Wise Mode’ in those who consume it]

[How on earth was this concoction made?!]

[Given the name, Vigorous Vajra Pill]

In the imperial calendar of the Great Emperor, the eleventh year of Tianqi, March.

[Encountered defected troops and absorbed them after defeating them]

[There are too many people, the previous armors are not enough anymore, perfect]

[Encountered Chen Country’s Reconnoitre Army, engaged in fierce battle]

[The number of exotic beasts is gradually increasing, the omnipotent Lei Laomeng spent so much time and finally figured out the principles of the Mechanical Crossbow, managed to create something similar to a spring mechanism using Inner Strength, and handcrafted Mechanical Crossbows using iron items from previous tempering]

[Their accuracy is terrible, very poor in actual combat]

[After the Seven Old Ghosts’ suggestion, Lei Laomeng enlarged the human warrior-used Mechanical Crossbows and mounted them on huge bears and other exotic beasts, triggered only once, the Crossbow Arrows reached the size of Siege Crossbows, difficult for Martial Artists to use]

[Accuracy doesn’t matter much, as long as the Crossbow Arrows are big and numerous]

[I feel like the style of the Qilin Army is a bit too wild]

[General Yuwen Tianxian actually managed to integrate the exotic beast corps into the style of large-scale troop combat, living up to his reputation as one of the best commanders adept at coordinating multiple types of forces in this generation]

[Another——]

Li Guanyi raised his eyebrows. The sixteen-year-old young general had much more somber countenance, and many scrape marks adorned his armor, from leaving Zhenbei Pass last year to the Yin Yang Reincarnation Sect for two months, and after leaving the Yin Yang Reincarnation Sect, it was another six months, adding up to eight months in total.

Eight months of conquering mountains and villages.

The young general wrote:

"Current status of the Qilin Army: warrior infantry six thousand, logistics troops six thousand five hundred."

"Exotic Beast Army five hundred."

"Heavy Cavalry five hundred."

"Total, thirteen thousand five hundred people."

"Among them, due to the defected troops and the armor from the Yuwen Family forces, as well as the shoddy armor created under Grandpa’s guidance by the omnipotent Lei Laomeng, and leather armor made from tanned leather, all combat personnel are fully armored, split between Heavy Armor and Light Armor."

"I think, I have reached the limit of my command ability. Only by dispersing the original sixteen hundred men to become the core of this army, could I barely maintain order, but the limit, this must be my limit."

"Moreover, no battles have even started, I can only lead them forward, there is absolutely no way I can command an army at this level."

"My head is throbbing, but thankfully, its finally in sight."

"Report!!!"

A solemn shout came from the outside.

Once granted permission.

A strapping young man barged in energetically and said, "General, we are only a hundred miles away from the Jiangnan Eighteen States. The brothers from the Reconnoitre Army have discovered on the outskirts of the Jiangnan Eighteen States, a border city of the Murong Family being attacked by the Chen Country’s army."

He relayed the reconnaissance intelligence.

Li Guanyi took a look, put down his pen, and closed his march records.

He picked up his sword and stepped out of the modest commander’s tent.

The spring sunlight was warm but slightly blinding.

The voices of the wind swept through the sky with vigor.

The scarlet flags swirled in the sunlight, seven thousand warriors had assembled, all donning armor and wielding weapons, radiating an aura of quiet lethality. Li Guanyi looked at them, took a deep breath, and said, "We are a hundred miles away from the Jiangnan Eighteen States."

"Prepare to set off."

The young general’s voice was calm.

The responding voices were solemn and composed.

In unison, they stepped forward a half pace.

Their armor was filled with battle scars.

Eight months, sixty-seven battles, all victories.

They bowed their heads, gripped tightly, and uniformly struck their chests.

No longer a rabble, they answered thusly.

"Acknowledged!"
