"This contest will test the two princes' ability to command troops. With the current situation in turmoil, the Qianyuan Dynasty cannot remain untouched. Though the dynasty has many battle-hardened generals, as the ruler of a nation, one must govern the realm with civil ability and secure it with martial prowess."
"Thus, this round will be a battle within the illusion realm of Immortal's Abode. Both of you have once served as commanders guarding a region, so there is no need for further explanation. Whoever first crushes all fifty thousand of the other side's soldiers will be the winner of this round."
Shen Yi's voice echoed through the great hall. Both factions appeared exceedingly confident in his proposal, each believing that their own side would claim victory.
Jiang Chengfeng and Jiang Chunfeng sat facing one another. Before them lay a sand table sculpted from earth. Shen Yi poured spiritual power into it, and the two immediately appeared within the sand table. Before each of them stood fifty thousand soldiers in neat ranks, awaiting their commands.
At first, both sides were highly conservative, sending only small units ahead to scout. Only after surveying the entire terrain did they begin to move.
On Jiang Chengfeng's side, all fifty thousand men moved at once, sweeping forward in mighty ranks and charging straight toward Jiang Chunfeng's position. This was his usual style of warfare—pressing forward without hesitation.
Compared to Jiang Chengfeng, the Third Prince, Jiang Chunfeng, was somewhat more cautious. Facing Jiang Chengfeng's great army, his forces instantly scattered from a whole into fragments. Jiang Chunfeng himself hid among the soldiers, moving swiftly by making use of the surrounding terrain.
Within the sand table, both armies moved, yet their tactics were entirely opposite. One charged headlong, while the other maneuvered and advanced by detours.
