As a new military general, Ling Xu was definitely not qualified.
He lacked patience, was extremely destructive, and upon disagreement, he would start engaging. His desire to dobattle was too intense, and was unable to make the reasonable choice from time to time, maybe he would be moresuited to be a vanguard, but never a military general. But with the insufficient manpower, he had no choice but totake on the role.
Ling Xu also felt that ever since leaving the Shang Continent, his mood was terrible.
~Damn it, everything is not going well.~
In the short crash course, it was just to fill Ling Xu’s mind up with the fundamentals, and only the heavens wouldknow how much he remembered.
Seeing everybody moving relaxingly, his expression turned gloomy. The troops under Crane was extremely neat,which was an enjoyable sight. Although his own troops were trying their best to be neat and form up, but it was likea crumbling biscuit, any slight strength would break it apart.
Their march was not going well, and ignoring the fact that they were weak, their march was too slow, and he sobadly wanted to kill all of them with his spear and rush to the Honorable Martial Continent on his own.
If not for Yu Qing Yi and the rest being there with him, the situation would had been worse. Yu Qing Yi and the restcame from The Five Southern Island Families, so they were very familiar with army formations and what not.
Bing requested him and Crane to build up their own army.
Using The Yu Family of the Five Southern Island Families as his backbone, regardless of whether they had inheritances from Aries Constellation, they all walked the same path. The Yu Family disciples numbered less than a 100, and they were insufficient to form the army, thus he chose others who were relatively strong and trained in spear techniques, then made up his own army.
This brand new army was called the Silver Frost Mounts, which was the only name he could think of.
~Just that....~
When he looked how terrible they were, he could not help but laugh bitterly in his mind, compared to the legendarySilver Frost Mounts, his own group of people were not even
worth their shoes. ~If Teacher knows that I amtarnishing the name of Silver Frost Mount, I wonder if he will be so angry that he crawls out of his coffin.~
~Alright, who cares.~
Ling Xu who was feeling annoyed sat down and placed his silver spear on his legs, he then watched the lightregiments in the Sea of Energy in the distance. Travelling on foot in the Sea of Energy was not easy, maybe it wasalright for Yu Qing Yi and the rest with star treasures that they had trained with daily, thus they were rather used tothe Sea of Energy. But for the newly recruited soldiers, they had never experienced such a thing, and they were allextremely fatigued, and could not help but lay everywhere.
The speed of the march was mostly delayed due to the recruits, who were as slow as turtles crawling. But Ling Xuhad tried various methods, regardless of how he shouted or beat, their maximum was just that.
If he had known this earlier, he would only use the disciples from the Five Families, Ling Xu grimaced in his mind. Butthe remorse disappeared in a flash, only the Yu Family trained in the spear amongst the five families, and the otherfamilies did not, so he did not know how to command them. Thus, he chose only the Yu Family, while the other fourfamilies were handed over to Crane.
Yu Qing Yi saw Ling Xu’s unhappy face, and consoled him: “Master, don’t get too annoyed by it, it’s always like that atthe start.”
Hearing those words, Ling Xu became even more depressed.
Although it was his first time as a military general, it was not a surprising matter for him to feel that way, but to thearrogant and prideful Ling Xu, letting him bear failure and being weak was even more unbearable compared todying.
He glanced at Yu Qing Yi unkindly once. Yu Qing Yi cowered and immediately retreated back to the side. Theyfollowed LIng Xu and trained in the spear, they were clear of his temper, and provoking him meant a spear would bethrusted out at them.
Ling Xu held onto his spear pole and struck it against his own head, the soldiers around him watched him andimmediately swallowed their salivas and changed positions.
~No! I need to think of something else, this cannot go on.~ He could ignore the name of Silver Frost Mount, but hedid not want to be the cause of their failure. Upon thinking of Crazy Tang’s despicable eyes, LIng Xu felt that hewould go crazy.
~Calling my own army the Silver Frost Mounts, it cannot suck.~
~What do I do?~
He thought about the Silver Frost Mounts of the past, and his heart moved, ~How did they train in the past?~
Although he did not want to admit it, but he knew that he was the inheritor of the Silver Frost Mounts, but he onlycared about the martial techniques related to the Silver Frost Mount Inheritance, and did not have any interest toany army or formations.
He had never thought that there would be a day that he had to have his own army.
~This is truly infuriating!~
The only idea he could think of was the Silver Frost Mounts. He racked his brains and tried to recall, the portions ofinheritances that he managed to suddenly witness. But regardless of how he tried to recall, everything was a blur.
Bang, Ling Xu who was so furious smashed his own head hard.
Suddenly, he thought of something, the Silver Frost Sheep Horn Seal.
The Silver Frost SHeep Horn Seal had been in his hands for a very long time, but he had never cared much about it,because it was the Silver Frost Mount’s mark. At that time when they were splitting the loot, Tang Tian handed theSilver Frost Sheep Horn Seal over to him, because it was linked to him.
Ling Xu who was fixated on battles did not have any interest in the Silver Frost Sheep Horn Seal, but at the momenthe was being forced to a corner, and suddenly recalled that he had such an object.
He took it out and started to play around with it.
The Silver Frost Sheep Horn Seal had a simple form, it had two sheep horns that were as straight as swords, with theseal being the insignia of the Silver Frost Mounts.
~How do I use this?~
Ling Xu tossed and turned it over and over again, pondering about how to use it, but realized that he had no clue.
~Since it is a seal, I should try and use it to chop it somewhere.~ Ling Xu thought baselessly. ~But, where do I chop iton?~ Ling Xu looked around, the soldiers were long shocked and afraid of his actions and maintained a distance fromhim, thus the 30m area around him was empty.
Seeing that, Ling Xu held the Silver Frost Sheep Horn Seal in his right hand and chopped onto his left palm.
A prominent Silver Frost Mount insignia was inked onto his palm.
~nothing?~
Ling Xu stared at it for half a day, but there was no reaction at all, causing him to feel disappointed.
Just as he was about to throw the Silver Frost Sheep Horn Seal back, he suddenly heard a bell stroke, and could nothelp but be stunned.
The Sheep Horn wind bells on his silver spear was moving without any wind blowing.
The clear bell sound seemed as though it had chimed through time, and arrived on him. Layers upon layers of rippleswith the Sheep Horn Wind Bells as the center started to spread. Ling Xu who was fixated on the Sheep Horn WindBells did not notice that the Silver Frost Mount insignia in his palm had lit up with a faint light aura.
It gradually rippled through the entire camp.
The scenery around them distorted, everyone looked as though they were struck by some spell as they realized thatthey were all unable to move.
The power that was confining him was extremely powerful, Ling Xu tried to struggle, but he was unable to move aninch. He was not surprised, but instead revealing a look of joy, ~That’s right, it’s this~, he suddenly remembered thatwhen he was training in the Aries Spear of Stars once, and fell into the same state and illusion. Inside that illusion, allof the blurred figures guided him on how to use the real Aries Spear of Stars.
All the lights of stars in the Sea of Energy disappeared, and a ground appeared beneath their feets. The groundcontinued to extend out like mud, flowing and growing into many mountain peaks.
In the blink of the eye, they were in a place filled with hills.
Ling Xu moved, the power confining him had disappeared without a trace.
A gentle breeze swept past, and the faint bell sound caused his hairs to stand, he immediately shot up and shouted:“Prepare for battle!”
All the soldiers were immersed in the shock, they were just in the Sea of Energy, how did they suddenly end up in acompletely foreign land? All of them had fear revealed in their eyes, such an absurd thing had caused their hairs tostand.
Yu Qing Yi was equally shocked, but hearing Ling Xu’s warning, he suppressed the fear and struggled to stand.
A few of the braver soldiers also slowly stood up.
If such reaction speed were to occur in a normal situation, Ling Xu would hit all of them ten times without saying aword. But at that moment, Ling Xu could not be bothered with them as he stared at the small slopes ahead of them.
The familiar bell chimes was coming from there.
~As expected, it’s this again!~
Ling Xu no longer bothered to berate his troops, holding up his silver spear, he suddenly turned and swept his spearat the soldiers who were still paralyzed on the ground, causing mud to shroud over them.
“Get up!”
“All of you, get up now!”
......
THe paralyzed amateurish soldiers who were immersed in their shock finally woke up from the mud. Compared tothem, the Yu Family disciples reacted better, since they had gone through one or two battles. But the newlyrecruited soldiers were completely amateurs.
One after another, white clothed figures with silver spears appeared on the small slopes.
Ssssi, Yu Qing Yi and the rest all inhaled in cold air, all of their faces turned white, ~What the hell are those things?~
The white clothed silver spears rode on some sort of dual sword horned sheeps. But there was nothing beneath thewhite clothes, just a regiment of mist. Their faces were also just mist, there were no features and no eyes.
The strange creatures naturally caused everyone’s hairs to stand.
Furthermore.....
Everyone could not help but look at Ling Xu, because all of the white clothed silver spear figures looked exactly likeLing Xu, even the silver spear that had the Sheep Horn Wind Bells, they were exactly the same.
“Prepare for battle!”
Ling Xu roared, he was ready to welcome the enemies.
There were only 50 figures coming down the slopes, but the aura emitted from the 50 of them far exceeded that ofthe amateurs behind Ling Xu. the 50 riders did not make any sound as they sat on their Sword Horned Snow Sheep.
Although their faces were just mist, but Ling Xu could clearly feel that their gazes were on him, although they had noexpressions, but for some reason, Ling Xu could feel the disdain that they did not bother concealing.
That’s right, disdain.
Pure disdain.
Ling Xu’s face turned red, the disdain was like getting a slipper to slap his face.
~Assholes! Since when have I been underestimated?~
The 50 riders from the slopes raised the silver spears in their hands, the Sword Horned Snow Sheep beneath themmoved with small steady steps. They moved in a very delightful manner, and even when they were advancing, theirformation was extremely neat.
Ling Xu’s orange pupils blazed up, he no longer had any complicated thoughts in his mind, but only one.
KIll them all!
