Chapter 647: Wind Columns and Mourning
Translator: Cynthiia Editor: X, TYZ
He Nanshan could hardly believe his eyes . In front of him stood the remnant soldiers of the beast battalion . Their morale was depressed and expressions panicky . He Nanshan had never seen anything like this in any of the God Nation's armies .
They were extremely frightened .
The camp was all quiet except for the sobs of the officers .
Helian Tianxiao attracted the attention of the enemies with the beast battalions, but actually planned to pierce the wind curtain and sneak attack them from behind . Theoretically, there was no problem with the plan . Even He Nanshan would agree with him on this plan .
Yet astonishingly, both the God Wolf and the Silver Frost Divisions were destroyed with no survivors . The beast battalions waged a grueling attack, but couldn't break through, so they had to retreat back to their campsite . The Infantry and the Sky Edge Divisions took the opportunity to counterattack them, causing heavy casualties to the beast battalions . Under the pursuit of the Infantry and the Sky Edge Divisions, the officers and soldiers of the beast battalions retreated separately . As a result, only slightly more than 100 managed to escape .
He Nanshan fell into silence, but in his heart, he was greatly shocked and could hardly calm down .
How was this possible?
Due to an ambush? Even so, with their capacity, the God Wolf and Silver Frost were unlikely to be totally destroyed . Did their enemies have a backup plan?
That had to be it!
However, what kind of backup plan could completely destroy the God Wolf and Silver Frost?
The God Nation had been fighting against Beyond Avalon for such a long time that they were aware of the status quo . The elementalists' continuous retreats had already revealed their weakness . He was surprised by the destruction of the Ardent Flower Blood Division, but could accept it .
However, the God Wolf was one of the six god divisions, and Helian Tianxiao was not at all weaker than He Nanshan .
Plus, they were not defeated, but destroyed . As strong and experienced as the God Wolf and Silver Frost were, even if they fell into a tough spot, they would find an opportunity to break through an encirclement . They were likely to suffer great losses, but how could they be destroyed?
He Nanshan felt both scared and angry . He had sent a messenger to inform Helian Tianxiao to wait for the support of the God Spirit Division, but unexpectedly, Helian Tianxiao directly initiated an attack instead of waiting for them .
All the plans were disrupted by Helian Tianxiao's decision . Their power was largely reduced .
What could they do in the face of such a defeat?
Ai Hui hadn't come out, but they noticed the change of the light swords, which they believed was a good signal . The battle at the defensive line achieved an unprecedented victory, during which the God Wolf, one of the six god divisions, was obliterated . This section of their armed forces had completely disappeared .
This was undoubtedly the most glorious fight in the years of fighting between the God Nation and the Elders Guild .
This unprecedented victory boosted the morale of the elementalists .
All previous despair was gone .
The legend that the six god divisions were invincible was broken . As they realized that blood elementalists from the god divisions were also mortal human beings, they gradually became confident and overcame their inner fear toward the god divisions . In their hearts, the god divisions might be stronger, but they, themselves, were not easy to deal with either .
With boosted morale, they went back to reinforce their defenses more actively .
They had discovered all the spots in the wind curtain that were previously pierced by the God Wolf Division . To prevent the recurrence of similar situations, they decided to broaden the canyon under Shi Xueman's guidance so as to reinforce the wind curtain .
This was not an easy task . The canyon had been eroded by the wind curtain for years . The more fragile rocks had already been weathered and broken, while the remaining stone had become very hard under the quenching of the metal wind curtain for years, .
Even though they had Wang Xiaoshan, it would still be an arduous task . Fortunately, they only needed to broaden some key positions .
Wang Xiaoshan was now the busiest .
Shi Xueman, Silver Soldier, Jiang Wei, and Sang Zhijun discussed the arrangement of the defenses, while Karakorum Polaris never participated in such tasks because she was not interested . Wang Xiaoshan sat in front of a sand table where the layout of the defensive line and the surrounding terrain was clearly and vividly displayed .
Wang Xiaoshan listened carefully to their discussion and adjusted the sand table accordingly .
The sand table kept immediately changing according to their proposals, even before the sounds of their voices faded away . The four stood around the sand table, either contemplating or discussing heatedly .
Wang Xiaoshan hardly joined their discussion . He would only change the sand table when they had a conclusion .
Wang Xiaoshan had almost no fighting capacity, but his value was reflected in defense . In Silver Soldier's words, Wang Xiaoshan's defensive role was more significant than ten warfare masters .
They knew the Blood of God would not let them go easily, and the battles in the future would only be more fierce and cruel . Still, they were confident .
After a heated discussion, they finally came to a conclusion . Then, they left everything to Wang Xiaoshan, with Sang Zhijun as the coordinator .
Silver Soldier went back to the campsite of the Infantry Division in a good mood . Although it was a painstaking period, he felt fulfilled . Back then, he jumped out to take over the Infantry Division and became the division leader despite the questions from all the skeptics . On one hand, he wanted to combat the blood elementalists, and on the other hand, he could hardly bear to see the Infantry Division vanish .
The Infantry Division existed in name only when he took over, as the members were all incompetent and inexperienced new recruits . Having endured through several battles, they had now become much resolute and steadfast, and their young faces became more mature . They were no longer panicky when going to the front line compared to before . Nowadays, they were well trained and mentally strong . After a few more battles, they would be a new batch of elites .
Silver Soldier was delighted with a sense of accomplishment after seeing the improvement of his combat division .
Although the main forces of the recent battles were either the Spear of Heavy Cloud or the Pagoda Cannon Alliance, with the Infantry and Sky Edge providing support most of the time, Silver Soldier was sufficiently satisfied . He was confident that as the two divisions grew stronger, they would be able to play more important roles in the future .
He asked the vice division leader, "Is Lady Karakorum back?"
"Not yet . " The deputy leader shook his head .
Karakorum Polaris had been indulging in the sword formations in the valley these days . She had always wanted to compile a swordplay manual . Therefore, the changing light swords were of great attraction to her .
She sat on the slope beside the valley every day and stared at every change of the light swords .
She was fascinated with the birth of every new sword .
