Something's not right.
Experienced auxiliary soldiers all had this feeling!
Those with a bloodline naturally have an advantage over ordinary people. They have the blood of demons in their bodies, giving them an innate suppressive power when facing mortals. Although these mortal soldiers are often resentful, it must be said that mortals have no chance of winning against those with a bloodline!
Standing together, most people wouldn't even have the courage to face the bloodline descendants directly. If it were a cavalry of bloodline descendants, with descendants who had reached the Sixth Rank rank of martial arts level and were equipped with horses of demonic blood, five hundred riders would dare to charge into your million-strong militia.
Even courage can be disrupted by the suppression of bloodlines.
But the other side clearly has the ability!
This was the first time he had ever seen a member of the Golden Dragon Guard's bloodline be overwhelmed by the other party's aura!
Even though it was a bit unexpected, something still felt off.
Especially now, after all the bloodline disciples realized what was happening, they all activated their own bloodlines, targeting the enemy on the other side. However, even those of them who were on the same side were being suppressed to the point that their hands were trembling.
But looking across at them, a group of burly men were still standing there, their eyes still fixed on them like wolves eyeing their prey.
Are the people on the other side really just a militia composed of ordinary villagers?
That shouldn't be the case.
"Be careful later." Experienced veterans began to warn the inexperienced recruits around them, "Something's off with the people over there; they might not be militia."
"Weren't they supposed to be militia from Jiangnan?"
Many of the newly arrived auxiliary soldiers turned pale with fear at the combined force of the two sides and asked curiously.
"Militia?" Some veterans sneered. "Can militiamen grow that strong?"
It's not that there aren't strong ordinary soldiers besides those with bloodlines; many sons from wealthy families also join the army. They eat meat and practice martial arts from a young age, so they are strong and muscular. But they aren't that numerous. The guys on the other side, almost at a glance, are all fat and strong.
How could the Jiangnan, renowned for its literary tradition, possibly recruit so many physically strong soldiers from the common people?
These guys are a whole size bigger than the big guys from Shandong. In terms of imposing presence, to put it bluntly, our own bloodline members are probably no match for them!
Many of the bloodline disciples have also felt this. With their bloodline activated, they found that the opponent was like an immovable mountain, completely unmoved by their bursting bloodline. This was completely different from the ordinary soldiers they faced during their usual drills!
Even seasoned auxiliary soldiers with years of battlefield experience couldn't withstand the sheer force of their combined blood. Were the people on the other side really recruited from civilians?
Just then, a soldier on the other side spoke up, "You guys over there, are you the legendary Golden Dragon Guard?"
The soldier's voice wasn't loud, but across the river, it was clearly audible to everyone on this side. A heavy, unsettling feeling filled them, making them inexplicably suffocated and feel uneasy all over.
"Exactly!" A captain gathered his qi and blood and responded to the other side. His voice was booming and much louder than the other side's, but for some reason, it sounded somewhat weak.
"Is that so?" The soldier chuckled. "It seems the rumors aren't entirely true!"
"What do you mean?" The captain frowned.
"What do you mean?" The soldiers in front of them grinned and stepped forward. Instantly, an overwhelming aura pressed down, shattering the Golden Dragon Guard ' solidified momentum in an instant!
One by one, they retreated in panic, their faces pale. Some of those with lower cultivation levels even spat out a mouthful of blood essence.
Some of the veterans were deathly pale. If it had been a direct charge between the two armies, their basic formation would probably have been completely disrupted by what they just witnessed!
But how is that possible?
The elite Golden Dragon Guard were forced to abandon their formation by a group of ragtag soldiers from Jiangnan?
At that moment, a mocking voice came coldly from the other side. "So you're saying that soldiers as weak as chicks like you are actually Golden Dragon Guard?"
If it were just now, with such taunts from the other side, perhaps a group of people would have been unable to resist disobeying orders and rushing over to show the other side what true strength and weakness really meant.
But now, almost everyone is subconsciously glad that they didn't impulsively rush over.
"Quickly report to General Yuchi!" the experienced veteran shouted immediately to those behind him.
This time, the veterans didn't even bother to consult their blood relatives, because they knew exactly how urgent the situation was!
In a battle between two armies, morale is extremely important when there is a bloodline connection. They had fought countless battles to suppress the lower classes, and it was always the soldiers with the bloodline of the Great Jin who directly overwhelmed the opponent with their morale and then ruthlessly reaped the spoils.
But just now, it was clearly the opposite!
The Golden Dragon Guard on his side were like the barbarians who had been crushed and forced to kneel and await slaughter. If the other side suddenly launched an attack, he felt that his greenhorn recruits would have trouble even standing firm!
Upon hearing this, the soldiers behind them stumbled and ran backwards, but before they had gone far, a figure soared into the sky and arrived at the very front of the army!
"It's General Yuchi!"
Many people, seeing the figure flying overhead, mustered a sliver of courage. Yuchi Peng's illustrious military achievements gave these scions of the bloodline a renewed sense of confidence.
What's going on?
In the distance, Yuchi Peng's personal guards arrived. Looking at the chaotic formation in front of them, and some frightened bloodline soldiers, they all frowned!
This formation resembled a scene of being overwhelmed and crushed by the opponent's bloodline, yet in this situation, it was clearly only the Five Dragon Guards of the Great Jin who were crushing others.
The Five Dragon Guards of the Great Jin were selected from outstanding bloodline descendants. Even the barbarians of the Kingdom of Guhuang rarely had the aura to directly confront the Five Dragon Guards. As for those who could crush the Five Dragon Guards, they had never seen them in their lives.
Even though he's a new recruit, isn't he a bit too useless?
But when Yuchi Peng flew into the air and felt the astonishing aura of the opponent, he did not feel the same way.
Instead, he stared intently at the muscular men opposite him!
Good soldier!!!
Yuchi Peng has been leading troops for many years. Back then, he was a formidable figure who dominated the battlefields in the north. He has led many highly skilled Five Dragon Guards who fought on the front lines, so he is not the kind of person who is unskilled.
But even now, he still looked at the soldiers on the opposite bank with the same gaze he would give a work of art!
Even his own personal guards didn't seem as good as the soldiers on the other side.
It wasn't that he couldn't win; his personal guards had accompanied him through many battlefields and possessed incredibly rich combat experience, so he was confident he could face any enemy.
Fighting is fighting, but quality is quality!
They had never seen soldiers with such excellent physical constitution and vitality. These soldiers gave them the feeling of being the best ingredients in a chef's eyes. With a little training, they would surely become an invincible army!
Where did Chen Qing get such high-quality soldiers?
"Can it fly?"
The soldiers on the opposite bank looked at the figure in the sky with curiosity, their faces showing astonishment.
"That's Yuchi Peng?"
"I think so, he's very famous!"
"I've heard of his reputation too; he was the God of Slaughter in the North back in the day!"
A group of soldiers were talking amongst themselves, their voices so loud that Yuchi Peng could hear them from high above, but he was even more surprised.
Although the soldiers opposite him were surprised by his identity, none of them were afraid. Even when faced with his imposing presence, none of them flinched, which made him even more envious!
Even his personal guards rarely dared to look him in the eye after he awakened his bloodline, yet every single one of the soldiers opposite him dared!
What are you all doing?
A majestic voice interrupted the soldiers' chatter. Yuchi Peng in the sky was startled and his eyes suddenly turned to the tallest figure!
"Huh? The fog has lifted? This is earlier than the lord predicted." The big man looked across at the opposite side, then looked up at the sky, because he also sensed the threatening gaze from mid-air.
Their gazes met in mid-air, sparking a palpable tension in the air as if they had collided!
"Oh?" The burly man grinned immediately. " Yuchi Peng?"
"Who are you?" Yuchi Peng looked at the other person with a solemn expression, his body filled with a surge of excitement.
He could clearly sense that the big guy opposite him was very strong!
They're formidable rivals!!
He hadn't felt this kind of excitement in a long time; the last time was in Liuzhou, when he encountered that incredibly strong demon.
"I am Xu Hu!" the burly man grinned. "It is an honor to fight the legendary patriarch of the Yuchi Household. I hope you are more than just famous."
Yuchi Peng frowned. "Where is Chen Qing?"
With such a commotion, Chen Qing shouldn't be unaware. Where are the others?
"My lord?" Xu Hu asked with a smile. "He's gone to take care of important matters."
"He's gone?" Yuchi Peng asked in astonishment.
Xu Hu looked at the other party strangely. "You don't actually think that someone of your stature deserves my master to personally guard you here, do you?"
Yuchi Peng: "."
I'm afraid the third update won't be until after midnight, hahaha.
Ahem, for those viewers who don't stay up late, let's watch together tomorrow.
