Jiang Yuandao said, "Your task for the left and right flanks is to quickly cut off the battlefield and use your martial arts talents to focus on taking down the enemy's Divine Realm experts. As for the Spirit Realm experts, leave them to me!"
"Understood!" Qiao Zhengfeng and Xu Ding now acknowledged him, and he was truly deserving of the title of commander.
"Forward, everyone!"
At Jiang Yuan's command, the three formations marched forward at top speed.
Although the infinite divine power provided by the Nine Spirits Demon Heart only lasts for thirty minutes, its cooldown time is related to the bloodline. In other words, he can forcibly activate it once, but the price is the consumption of the bloodline's potential.
But if it really comes to that point, he'll have to use it even if it means expending his potential.
As they walked from Pingwangchi, more and more Holy Spirit Clan members appeared. The Holy Spirit Clan members who gathered at the main gate of the East City clearly realized that the array base in the rear had been destroyed, and were now sending more people to defend it. Unfortunately, they encountered the Dark Tiger Group led by Jiang Yuan.
Of the three thousand members of the Dark Tiger Legion, two hundred and sixty were at the Divine Realm, a ratio of almost ten to one between the Spirit Realm and the Divine Realm. This made the Dark Tiger Legion invincible under the influence of the Martial Arts Talent.
Indeed, at this moment, the 3,000-strong Dark Tiger Legion was displaying the imposing presence of a large army.
"Commander, we've encountered five thousand Holy Spirit Clan soldiers ambushing us ahead, and they've set up formations and archers!"
The right-wing formation sent back information first, saying they had encountered the Dark Tigers' most dangerous opponent to date.
“There are about fifty more Divine Realm experts than us, and our combat strength is almost completely crushed!” Xu Ding’s expression also turned gloomy. When the enemy’s Divine Realm experts appear in large numbers, it is obviously impossible to win by overwhelming them with numbers.
"Brothers, I need your help!"
The reserve formation stopped, and Jiang Yuan also notified the other three thousand people through the military intelligence system.
“Since the commander has acknowledged us as his brothers, there’s no need to be so formal. Otherwise, we wouldn’t dare to be your brothers!” Xu Ding said boldly. Although he was taken aback by the Holy Spirit Clan’s display of strength, it didn’t mean he was afraid. On the contrary, his fighting spirit only intensified.
"No, because my request would be excessive! I hadn't planned to go this far, but now it seems I have no choice!"
Jiang Yuan's gaze was fixed on his super talent - Martial Command. Martial Command has an ultimate effect, which is to use the subordinates under his command to sublimate his own combat power.
There's a major downside to the power enhancement system: those under your command will experience a substantial decrease in their cultivation level, while the martial leader will only experience a temporary power enhancement. One side suffers an irreversible reduction in strength, while the other receives a temporary boost. Moreover, it's a trade of three thousand men for one person—a deal even Jiang Yuan himself finds difficult to broach.
"Commander, just say it! We're all brothers, we can entrust our lives to each other, let alone any other conditions!" shouted the soldiers in the rear formation.
Along the way, the commander's performance caught their attention. Although they were in the reserve formation, the commander's achievements were far ahead. Putting aside the number of arrows fired per second, the fact that he provided combat support and healing for the entire Dark Tiger Regiment was already a tremendous contribution.
After hearing these heartfelt words, Jiang Yuan clenched his fist and said, "I need you to sacrifice a small portion of Duan's strength in exchange for the victory to come!"
"That's it? I thought I was going to die. What's a little bit? We can sacrifice a few more!" a soldier said cheerfully.
"Judging from the commander's tone, I also thought he wanted some of our brothers to sacrifice themselves in the war, but it turns out he just wanted to sacrifice some of his strength!"
"Commander, you underestimate us brothers too much. Why are you making such a fuss over a mere junior officer!"
The other soldiers chimed in, and not one of them questioned Jiang Yuan's words. This was the military discipline of the Dark Tiger Regiment; as long as it was to protect the pure land in their hearts, they were willing to sacrifice their beliefs, even if it meant death, let alone the strength of a mere junior soldier.
"Commander, let's begin!" Qiao Zhengfeng set an example with his actions, even though he was only at the second stage of the Profound God Realm and was willing to sacrifice a stage.
"Speak loudly to the commander, what is our Dark Tiger Regiment's motto!" Xu Ding also got excited, wanting to motivate everyone before the battle.
"The Dark Tiger moves with the force of thunder; unparalleled, united as one."
The resounding slogans echoed in the air. Jiang Yuan smiled bitterly to himself. He had indeed underestimated the warriors of the Dark Tiger Group. These were people who could give up their lives for their beliefs. How could they possibly be reluctant to give up a mere minor realm?
"After this battle, I, Jiang Yuan, will certainly not let my brothers down!"
After saying this, Jiang Yuan burned his entire Martial Universe talent. When this talent was ignited, the warriors controlled by the Martial Universe began to feel a draining force, but no one resisted and just silently let it drain them.
The overall strength of the Dark Tiger Gang continued to decline. If each person dropped by one-tenth of their level, then the three thousand people would have dropped by three hundred levels, not to mention that there were quite a few Divine Realm experts among them.
The only True Spirit Realm cultivator in the arena underwent a transformation at this moment.
True Spirit Realm, Stage 6! True Spirit Realm, Stage 9! Heavenly Spirit Realm, Stage 1! Heavenly Spirit Realm, Stage 8!
Jiang Yuan's rate of improvement only stopped when he reached the ninth level of the Heavenly Spirit Realm.
The most crucial step from the Spirit Realm to the Divine Realm is the transformation of energy, from energy patterns to energy imprints, which contains supreme power of rules, a transformation that martial arts can no longer bring.
However, the power of the martial arts still allowed Jiang Yuan to go exceptionally far in the ninth stage of the Heavenly Spirit Realm. Because of the flawless spiritual barrier, he, as the ninth stage of the Heavenly Spirit Realm, faintly possessed the aura of a god.
"We're still missing some rules!"
Jiang Yuan raised his head, his body overflowing with power, which was his current ultimate combat strength.
