Expedition!(1/3)
Early morning on the third day.
On the Demon Sealing Valley side, except for the people from the Demon Sealing Valley and the Tong Dao Sect who did not go to war, the other twenty-two sects all sent corresponding troops.
Twenty-two elders from other sects gathered at the place where the Demon Sealing Valley was encamped. After discussion yesterday, they decided to send troops to attack the Wan Teng Sect together.
Those elders who said that they could not send troops rashly and needed to ask their suzerains for instructions were able to send troops by themselves after consulting their suzerains yesterday.
At this time, more than 10,000 people from the Demon-Sealing Valley had gathered outside the Wan Teng Sect.
The Qingyan Sect's people for this expedition, just as the Qingyan Sect elder said, no more, no less, a total of two thousand people.
Another sect also sent a thousand disciples as promised by its elder.
However, the total number of people sent by the other twenty sects was only 7,000.
Obviously, they were just going to do it perfunctory and didn't want to go to war.
Originally, the elder of the Qingyan Sect wanted to say something when he saw that the other twenty sects only sent so few people, but he knew that since the matter had reached this point, it would be useless to say anything more.
Therefore, he gritted his teeth and endured it. He was thinking that after this war was over, he would come to settle accounts with the elders of the other twenty sects.
Even the elders of the Qingyan Sect didn't say anything. Of course the elder of the sect who sent a thousand troops had no choice but to endure it.
He has the same idea as the elders of the Qingyan Sect. He believes that now that things have reached this point, there is no point in arguing here anymore.
He also felt that he should wait until this war was over before going to settle the accounts with the elders of the other twenty sects.
"The fighting power of the disciples of the Wan Teng Sect is very amazing. You must not take it lightly when fighting later." The elder of the Qingyan Sect said to the two thousand disciples of his sect who were about to go out for the battle.
"Yes." The two thousand disciples of the Qingyan Sect responded in unison in a sonorous and powerful tone.
Among the two thousand Qingyan Sect disciples, there are a thousand fourth-level disciples, a full 700 fifth-level disciples, and a full 250 sixth-level disciples.
, and a total of fifty seventh-level disciples.
A middle-aged male disciple of the Qingyan Sect who had reached the seventh level and nine stars stood in front of the remaining 1,999 disciples.
Obviously, he is the commander-in-chief of the disciples sent by Qingyan for this expedition.
With his seventh-level nine-star cultivation as the commander-in-chief of the disciples of the Qingyan Sect for this expedition, it can be seen that the lineup of the Qingyan Sect for this expedition is already very good.
After all, this is only the second tentative attack, and there is no need for them to use all their forces to attack the Wan Teng Sect.
But the elder of the Qingyan Sect did not show any mercy. He had already dispatched two-fifths of the Qingyan Sect's troops this time.
"On the battlefield, either the enemy will die or we will die. You must be careful." The elder of another sect who promised to send a thousand troops also said to the thousand disciples of his sect who were about to go out.
"Yes." The thousand disciples also agreed with sonorous and powerful voices.
The overall strength of these thousand people is less than one-fifth of the overall strength of the disciples of the Qingyan Sect who are going on this expedition.
Although their number is only half of the Qingyan Sect's disciples, their combat effectiveness is indeed not as large as half of the Qingyan Sect's disciples.
Among these thousand people, there are 600 disciples with fourth-level cultivation, 300 disciples with fifth-level cultivation, only 80 disciples who have reached sixth-level cultivation, and only 80 disciples who have reached seventh-level cultivation.
There are only twenty disciples.
The combat effectiveness of an army composed of one thousand men is obviously less than one-fifth of the combat effectiveness of an army composed of two thousand men of the Qingyan Sect.
After the two sects that sent the most troops said some words to their disciples who went on the expedition, the other twenty sects also successively said some words to their disciples who went on the expedition.
The elders of the other twenty sects basically said the same thing as the elders of the Qingyan Sect and the elders of other sects, telling their disciples who were going on the expedition not to take it lightly.
Among the seven thousand disciples gathered by the other twenty sects, there are 4,500 disciples with fourth level cultivation, 1,500 disciples with fifth level cultivation, and 800 disciples with sixth level cultivation.
, and there are two hundred disciples with seventh-level cultivation.
Moreover, most of the two hundred seventh-level disciples are only in the early seventh-level. Only ten of them have reached the seventh-level nine-star level, and eleven have reached the seventh-level eight-star level.
Even though the army formed by these seven thousand disciples seems to be very powerful, it is composed of people from twenty sects!
If calculated on average, each sect only sent out 350 disciples.
Among these seven thousand disciples, there are only two hundred disciples with seventh-level cultivation. In other words, on average, each sect only sends out ten disciples with seventh-level cultivation.
Is this lineup pretty good? This lineup can be said to be very chilling!
Are there any thieves who dare to come out to join this alliance to jointly attack the Wan Teng Sect? Is the strength of the sect so weak?
Obviously, these twenty sects were just dealing with the elders of the Qingyan Sect and the elders of another sect in a perfunctory manner.
"The Taoist friends of the Qingyan Sect have sent the most troops this time, and they are also the strongest. In my opinion, let the Taoist friends of the Qingyan Sect lead the entire army!" The great elder of the Demon Sealing Valley saw that the elders of the Qingyan Sect had been unhappy.
Then he spoke.
"Yes, let the Qingyan Sect's Taoist friends command the entire army. I think the seventh-level nine-star disciple of the Qingyan Sect who is going on this expedition is very good." The elder of the sect that sent a thousand troops heard the words of the great elder of the Demon Sealing Valley.
, he said immediately.
Obviously, he also thought that it would be better to let someone from the Qingyan Sect take command. He knew that if the 10,000 disciples who went on this expedition fought independently according to their respective sects, then their chances of winning would be very low.
"This...I agree with this."
"Since the Great Elder of the Demon-Sealing Valley has said so, I agree."
"In this expedition, Taoist friends from the Qingyan Sect will contribute the most. I agree that Taoist friends from the Qingyan Sect will command the entire army."
"..."
As the elders of the sect that sent a thousand troops agreed that the seventh-level nine-star disciples of the Qingyan sect would command the entire army, the elders of the other twenty sects also agreed one after another that people from the Qingyan sect would lead the entire army.
Obviously they all knew very well that if no one of the 10,000 people on this expedition had unified leadership, it would be difficult for them to win.
Because they are all from different sects, when they go to the battlefield, people from their respective sects will definitely fight for the same battlefield.
At that time, these 10,000 disciples who went out to fight will become a piece of scattered sand. It is absolutely impossible to defeat those disciples of Wan Teng Sect who cooperate very well.
Therefore, even if some of them were reluctant, they had no choice but to agree that someone from the Qingyan Sect would command the entire army.
"Since you fellow Taoists are so respectful, I, the Qingyan Sect, should be more respectful than obey your orders!" After the elder of the Qingyan Sect heard that the other twenty-one sects had agreed to let his Qingyan Sect lead the entire army, he said with a smile.
said.
Although he thought that the elders of other sects should let their Qingyan sect take responsibility, so he recommended their Qingyan sect to command the entire army.
But he also believes that this is other sects’ affirmation of the strength of their Qingyan sect.
And he is still thinking about an important thing, that is, this alliance was proposed by the people from Feng Mo Valley. They can only be said to be members of this alliance. Only people from Feng Mo Valley have the highest say.
Therefore, he wanted to take this opportunity to improve his sect's status in the alliance. Therefore, he did not care about taking on any responsibilities.
"You have a heavy responsibility this time. You must go all out and not let down the expectations of all the fellow Taoists present." The elder of the Qingyan Sect said to the middle-aged man of the seventh level and nine stars of his sect.
He spoke in a very stern tone. Although he did not say anything explicitly, his stern tone had indirectly told the disciples of Seventh Level Nine Stars to only succeed and not to fail.
"Yes, the disciple will definitely do his best to live up to the expectations of the elders and the expectations of the elders of the sects present." After hearing the words of the elders of his sect, a middle-aged man of the seventh level and nine stars of the Qingyan Sect said
Said in a reassuring tone.
"You all listen to me. On the battlefield, you must obey the command of the seventh-level nine-star disciple of the Qingyan Sect. His strength and experience are superior to you, and you must obey all his arrangements." The one who sent a thousand troops
The elder of the sect said to the thousand disciples of his sect.
"Yes, the disciples must obey the Qingyan Sect's command on the battlefield." A thousand disciples replied in unison in a sonorous and powerful tone.
Although some of them were reluctant, they knew they couldn't reveal anything at this time, so they agreed temporarily.
After the elder of this sect that sent a thousand troops said a few words to his one thousand disciples who went out to fight, the elders of the other twenty sects also said a few words to their disciples who went out to fight.
What they said was basically the same as what the elder of the sect who sent a thousand troops said.
They also asked the disciples of their sect to obey all the arrangements of the middle-aged man of the seventh level and nine stars of the Qingyan sect.
And a total of 7,000 disciples from their twenty sects also agreed.
Although some of the seven thousand disciples were very reluctant, they did not dare to show any signs of it, so they had no choice but to agree.
Judging from the actions of the elders of these twenty-one sects, it is obvious that they want to leave this war to the people of the Qingyan Sect. In other words, they want the people of the Qingyan Sect to bear the responsibility for the war.
Although the elder of the Qingyan Sect saw through the thoughts of the elders of the other twenty-one sects, he still decided to let the seventh-level nine-star disciples of his own sect lead the entire army.
Because he has a very good plan in his heart, that is, if this war goes very smoothly, then the Qingyan Sect will be in a transcendent position in this alliance.
Their Qingyan Sect can control most of the say in this alliance.
At that time, he can find an excuse to let his disciples of the Qingyan Sect rest for a few days, just like the Demon Sealing Valley, while letting the disciples of other sects go out to fight against the people of the Wan Teng Sect.
At that time, even if the elders of the other twenty-one sects were a hundred unwilling, they would not be able to stop the disciples of the Qingyan Sect from resting for a few days.
Just like they can't stop the Demon-Sealing Valley from sending people now, they have no choice but to swallow their anger.
…
Within the Wan Teng Sect.
The disciples of the Wanteng Sect who were preparing for the war also gathered in a very large square to meditate.
They have been getting ready since yesterday. Although the old man with gray hair and boyish face told them yesterday that the sect master ordered them to rest for a day, they still did not go to rest.
Because, they all guessed that the order to let them rest for a day was just what the old man said to test them.
After feeling unbelievable for a while, they gradually regained their composure and continued to prepare for battle in this square.
They were not afraid that the order to let them rest was just a test by their sect master, but they were worried about a sudden attack by people from the Demon Sealing Valley.
To be continued...
