The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 439 - 205: Cut Grass Lieutenant General_3

The groups close to Canghai Pavilion and Tianyafu Residence joined the campaign along with these two organizations. The team of Canghai Pavilion expanded to 1,200 people, who rushed to Blue Mountain City day and night. Along the way, the earth quaked and the mountain trembled. Dust filled the air and their grand momentum was impressive.

...

Ten days later, Ye Hanjun’s vanguard troops were the first to approach Blue Mountain City.

As far as the eye could see, the city was built upon a high mountain, surrounded by mountains that were often three thousand meters high. The tallest peak reached eight thousand meters, crowned as the "Blue Mountain".

Such a foggy, rugged place was the most natural barrier.

To the south of the mountain, there was a blue swamp over 500 meters wide, named "Mysterious Blue Marsh". It was one of the borders between the Blue Frog Kingdom and the Grass Frog Kingdom and was crucial.

Further south, in the territory of the Grass Frog Kingdom, there was also a range of mountains.

Unlike the bare Blue Mountain, known for its abundant mineral resources, the mountains there were lush with old trees reaching into the clouds, and vegetation was dense and varied significantly from that of Blue Mountain.

"Is this the place we are going to defend? How did the Grass Frog Kingdom manage to attack such a treacherous location?"

Along the way, scattered corpses and bloodstains that had not yet dried up made even Bounty Hunter Le Zhengfeng, who often wandered in the wilderness, feel terrified.

The killing atmosphere was too heavy. The stubborn expressions of the dead, the residual despair, and helplessness, when branded on their hearts, made their souls cold as ice. How could they not feel frightened?

"If it were just between humans, both sides would indeed be easier to defend than to attack."

"But don’t forget, the ecology of the Fond Spirits is rich. They can fly and burrow. Crossing these mountains and swamps is not particularly difficult."

Deputy Dean Sun Lin incinerated the corpses along the way with flames. He didn’t want them to be torn apart by beasts, nor did he want the corpses to rot and breed highly contagious plague viruses.

"Gentlemen, the battle situation is urgent, and we could not come to meet you from afar. Please forgive us!"

A fierce general, riding a "Gray Winged Eagle", suddenly swooped down from the middle of the mountain.

"I’m Huang Ziyu, the commander of the Fifth Brigade under Lord Lv. On the orders of the City Lord, I’m here to welcome the reinforcement troops from Canghai Pavilion. We are glad for your arrival."

"What’s the situation of the battle?"

Du Yuanjia cast a glance and went straight to the point.

The Gray Winged Eagle, with a wingspan of seven meters, was undoubtedly at the level of a Jade Infant at Perfection.

This man should be one of the best at the 3rd Order, leading a brigade, he must have important information about the battlefield.

"The enemies crossing the marsh and attacking Blue Mountain City have continuously increased recently."

"The war supplies of our Blue Mountain City are almost exhausted. Over half of the brothers defending the city have been killed or injured. Most of the survivors are also wounded, and the actual available forces are less than a quarter of our prime-time capabilities."

With a hoarse voice, Huang Ziyu showed a murderous look when he talked about the tragic situation.

"If it were a week later, Blue Mountain City could have been in danger of falling. If that happened, the south of Blue Frog Kingdom would be under the threat of the Grass Frog Kingdom’s pillage. The consequences would be unbearable."

"Fortunately, your Institution has arrived, rekindling our morale."

"With the assistance of your esteemed deans, our City Lord can finally rest a little."

"Let’s go and join up first."

Du Yuanjia waved, the Water Tiger Sculpture flapped its wings, leading a group of troops up the mountain.

After several round trips, the entire vanguard troops entered the city. The students, with uncertain looks on their faces, finally witnessed the real scene of the army. Some were amazed, some were panicked, but few showed much fear. They tried hard to adapt to the environment and change their way of thinking.

"Now that you are in the army, you must obey military orders."

"Those deans and deputy deans who hold the rank of ’Cut Grass General’ are equal to me."

"And the mentors who hold the rank of ’Cut Grass Lieutenant General’ are equivalent to the main commanders of a brigade. They have management and Domination responsibilities, which is no child’s play."

A woman wearing a blue robe appeared before the crowd. With visible exhaustion hanging on her face.

"I am the City Lord here, Lv Yingying, 4th Order, D-level ’Trap Hunter’."

"So it is really you. I thought it was someone with the same name..."

Du Yuanjia looked moved, and his furrowed brows eased a little.

"Dean, it’s good to see you well."

Perhaps due to battle fatigue, Lv Yingying couldn’t summon a smile and spoke expressionlessly:

"Dear instructors and juniors, I graduated from Canghai Pavilion fifty years ago and was once among the ’Ten Talents.’

"This time, with the assistance of Canghai Pavilion in defending Blue Mountain City, I am greatly relieved. I will do my best to delegate authority to you."

"So it’s our senior sister who graduated many years ago..."

Huo Xin, Tan Ziping, You Jin... today’s ’Ten Talents’ looked at each other.

For some reason, after hearing this news, the tense atmosphere relaxed a bit. The warlike Ma Nongmei licked his lips, Yu Yu smiled sweetly while eating snacks, and Jin Xiaohong, who was always calm and steady, was eager to fight. His whole body was filled with the desire to battle.

Those who trespass against the Blue Frog Kingdom...shall be killed!

Once the frontier is settled, the moment the charge horn sounds, it will also sound the day we from the Canghai Pavilion fight in blood against the enemy!!
