At this moment, the gate of the Fifth Company's garrison was wide open, and the place was completely silent. There was not a single person in sight, which was quite eerie.
Shen Qian strode forward, stopped ten meters outside the camp, and called out loudly, "Shen Qian from the Ninth Company has come to pay his respects. Where is the Company Commander of the Fifth Company?"
Echoes reverberated, and after a while, a faint laugh came from within the camp, "The gate is open. Come in if you want, but... you'll have to bear the consequences."
Before Shen Qian could answer, Tian Guanglei, who was behind him, stepped forward with a changed expression. "The Fifth Company Commander Meng Hai and Bi Xiu are about the same strength. He must already know that you defeated Bi Xiu. This is clearly because he doesn't want to give you a chance to fight one-on-one."
Shen Qian paused for a moment, looked at the dark military camp, and nodded in realization.
The terror of military warriors lies not in individual combat, but in battle formations.
"A thousand elite warriors can rival mountains and seas."
This was told to Shen Qian by Song Ben, who came from the Southwest Army.
Although the Southwest Army was considered elite, it was certainly much inferior to the world-renowned Jiangzhong Army.
If even the Southwest Army has such capabilities, the Jiangzhong Army must be even stronger.
It is foreseeable that if the soldiers of the Fifth Company are indeed lined up in the barracks, then this empty gate will undoubtedly be the entrance to a den of dragons and tigers.
Even the strongest among the mountains and seas need to think twice.
Meanwhile, the soldiers of the Ninth Company who were following behind Shen Qian had cooled down from their excitement and were feeling apprehensive.
The fear of being dominated by the Fifth Company for so long resurfaced in my mind at this moment.
The Fifth Company was the only fully-staffed company in the Lu Shu Battalion, with a total of three thousand men. It was no exaggeration to say that most of the Lu Shu Battalion's best fighters were gathered there, so the other side was clearly not going to compromise as easily as the Eighth Company.
"Company Commander, the Fifth Company has a record of killing Mountain and Sea Realm experts more than once, so perhaps..."
Wei Le stepped forward and couldn't help but offer a word of advice.
He admitted that Shen Qian was strong, but no matter how strong he was, he was still just one person. The five or six hundred "oddballs" in the Ninth Company were probably not even enough to fill someone else's teeth.
Judging from the Fifth Company's posture, they must have known they were coming all along.
Who knows what awaits inside?
"One should press on with one's might, but the momentum will wane the next."
Shen Qian smiled faintly and said, "Since we're going to let the Nine-Linked Ninja be reborn today, why would we hold back halfway through our farts?"
"...Then let's fucking get to him! We might lose the fight, but we won't lose our spirit!"
Wei Le gritted his teeth, drew the long sword from his waist, and cursed.
"Fuck him!"
The soldiers of the Ninth Company also drew their weapons and shouted to encourage themselves.
What are you doing?
Shen Qian glanced at the Ninth Company soldiers, who were fighting desperately, with surprise, then shook his head, "I can go in alone."
Deep down, Shen Qian felt a sliver of relief; at least these people hadn't completely lost their fighting spirit, and there was still a possibility of saving them.
"What?"
"Company Commander, you mustn't!"
Upon hearing that Shen Qian intended to charge in alone, Shang Zuo and the others' expressions changed drastically.
"I know what I'm doing. Your presence will only be a burden to me."
Shen Qian ignored everyone's attempts to dissuade him, his expression suddenly turning serious. "This is an order!"
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
"Even if I am no match for you, I will not be in any danger. You can just wait here and don't cause me any trouble."
Shen Qian then instructed, "Shang Zuo, you supervise this. Anyone who dares to act recklessly will be dealt with according to military law!"
After finishing his speech, Chen ignored the commotion and walked into the gate of the Fifth Company with his long stick.
Turning the corner of the gate, Chen Qian stopped in his tracks.
An aura of chilling menace swept over us.
Opposite Shenqian was a vast, dark mass of people stretching as far as the eye could see.
They stood silently, holding various unsharpened swords, spears, and halberds. Although there were only a few thousand of them, far fewer than the ones they faced in the Heavenly Court before Shen Qian, their overwhelming momentum was in no way inferior.
The way the people stood, which subtly conformed to some kind of pattern, made these thousands of people seem as if they were one.
As the clouds dispersed, from high above, the shape they formed resembled a giant tiger roaring towards the sky, while Shen Qian, standing at the beast's mouth, appeared so tiny.
"Why insist on going head-to-head and getting hurt? There's still room for retreat now."
At the end of the battle formation, a centurion clad in silver armor stood on a high platform and smiled faintly.
Shen Qian smiled, and then, to Meng Hai's astonishment, rushed out.
Faced with an elite battle formation of three thousand men capable of easily tearing apart mountains and seas, Shen Qian not only did not retreat, but even took the initiative to charge.
"madman!"
Meng Hai cursed and stared coldly at the boy.
He really didn't believe it.
Even Commander Yu could only retreat from this battle formation, so why is Shen Qian so arrogant?
"kill!"
Seeing that Meng Hai made no response, the three thousand soldiers roared in unison, and the surge of people instantly engulfed the figure.
...
The deafening battle cries echoed throughout the entire Lu Shu camp.
Such a huge commotion naturally alarmed countless people.
Besides the anxiously waiting soldiers of the Ninth Company, a large number of figures quickly gathered outside the Fifth Company's garrison.
As word spread, soon all the soldiers in the Lu Shu Camp roughly knew what had happened, and everyone's face showed an expression of disbelief.
He went mad before he sank!
This was everyone's first reaction.
"Old Bi, I heard you were defeated by Shen Qian in one move. Could it be that he has already entered the Mountain and Sea realm?"
At the forefront were seven or eight figures, all clad in silver armor, who were the centurions of their respective companies. At this moment, one of the valiant female generals was curiously asking Bi Xiu a question.
