The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 458 - 212: Who Rules the Sky Besides the Immortal, Sand Sculpture Marches Leaving No Grass Behind_1

...

The autumn wind has passed, gradually transitioning into winter.

Snow frequently drifts in the area where the Blue Frog Kingdom and the Grass Frog Country borders each other.

The snowflakes are pure white, as big as a fingernail cover, thin as a piece of paper. As they gently fall, they each leave imprints of the winter season.

"Brothers, are you ready?"

"The temperature has already dropped, the marsh’s surface is gradually freezing. The month-long preparation for the counterattack is to begin tonight. Be vigilant, everyone!"

At the foot of the mountain, inside a secretly dug trench, soldiers dressed in night clothes can be seen either polishing their weapons or adjusting their outfits, preparing for the battle.

It’s been four months since the war between the two countries began.

The Canghai Pavilion’s arrival to Blue Mountain City plays a mostly defensive role due to various reasons.

On one hand, when they first arrived, Blue Mountain City was in decline.

If no reinforcements arrived, the city would have been captured within a week.

Rebuilding the defense system and recruiting soldiers to increase their forces...all these plans require both time and resources.

On the other hand, the students of Canghai Pavilion are quite precious.

Even if the elites among them can adapt to the jungle, it does not mean they can also adapt to the cruelty of the battlefield. They need time to gradually adapt.

Now...the time has come!

These past few months, Emerald Mountain City has crossed over mountains and marshes with high frequency, repeatedly attacking Blue Mountain City. The casualties are staggering.

The surviving individuals find it hard to alleviate the exhaustion that is ingrained in their flesh and blood.

"Eagle Unit, report your status!"

At one end of the trench, hundreds gather. On their chests, besides the emblem of Blue Frog Kingdom, there is also the emblem of Blue Mountain City and the exclusive Flying Hawk pin of their unit, simple yet imposing.

"Vice Commander Lin, the third defense line in the south of the mountain foot is held by the sixth unit under Lord Lv’s command. For the Eagle Unit, aside from six injured soldiers, the rest have all assembled!"

Former main commander of the fourth unit, Tong Bo, responded calmly.

Without a doubt, the main force of the counterattack on the Emerald Mountain City is commanded by NanHua Qiu and Ji Yan’s special operation unit.

All the tutors in this camp are of the third rank, totaling over 120 people. Their support is the core reason why Blue Mountain City can still hold on till now. Their contributions cannot be ignored.

As for Tong Bo, and former vice-commanders of the third unit, Zhao Zishe, and the seventh unit, Zhang Xi... A total of 16 high-ranking commanders of the third rank, along with 34 senior soldiers of the second rank, have temporarily been incorporated into the Eagle Unit due to the disintegration of their previous units. They are under the command of Lord Han and participate in the counterattack.

"Restrain your vigor, be ready to move at any time."

Ye Hanjun raised his eyes, and gently spoke out.

His voice was very, very calm, with no hint of killing or fighting intent.

If anyone uninformed heard him, they might mistake him for a harmless scholar, an error for which they could not be blamed.

However, every single person who heard this sentence, regardless of whether they were old or young, bowed in response, expressing their respect.

The Eagle Unit—while not currently the core of Blue Mountain City’s main operating forces, is an important pillar of spirit for the city!

The sole reason lies with the commander of the unit—Lord Han, who has repeatedly defeated the Grass Frog Country until they flee in disarray!

He—is not only a powerhouse in terms of personal combat capabilities!

He is also master, whose instructive influence benefits countless people in terms of war strategy, the nurturing of Fond Spirits, and the growth of authority among many others!

"Woo!!"

The horn for the charge sounded, and Ye Hanjun, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.

In that instant, the atmosphere seemed to be filled with a cold glint, and an endless sharpness tore through the nothingness before him.

"Ah! Ahh!!"

The sand sculpture beneath their feet stirred up the sand and rose halfway into the sky.

Its size has grown larger, having long since established itself as a Jade Infant Great Completion rank. The promise made before, with the daily training from the Goose Immortal, has already been achieved.

It screeches, it roars, protecting the rushing soldiers as they charge forward with righteousness and high spirits.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"The Grass Frog Country has been attacking Blue Mountain City for months, causing more than a thousand of our brothers to suffer casualties. We must exterminate such evildoers root and stem!"

The pent-up anger accumulated until now fully exploded on this day.

The officers under Lord Lv’s command had red eyes and were filled with rage.

Riding atop their Contracted Spirit Fond Spirits, exuding ferocious energy and wild natures, they are like daggers, crossing over the frozen marsh, tearing through the cold sky, and successfully reaching the opposite shore.

Emerald Mountain City was greatly shocked. It was usually them launching an attack, with Blue Mountain City defending.

This sudden surprise attack bypassed the defensive lines in succession and advanced towards the base of the Emerald Mountain City.

"Enemy Attack! Enemy Attack!!"

"Command the entire army! Defend! Charge! Any who crosses the border—show no mercy!"

The soldiers of the Grass Frog Country took action. After the initial panic, their ranks quickly regained order.

They relied on their defensive lines, supported the formation patterns, and a hundred-meter-tall, four-hundred-meter-long luminous city wall manifested out of thin air.

"Rip!"

"Roar!!"

"Swoosh! Toot!!"

The Sky Flying Fish moved as fast as lightning, and under Ji Yan the ’Windwalker’s’ power, they wreaked havoc within the enemy’s camp, attacking and retreating freely.

NanHua Qiu was a bit slower, but defense was her specialty.

The second special operations unit, under the protection of the White Jade Thorny Deer, was fearless and ferocious. A large number of long-range magical skills targeted the luminous city wall, constantly bombarding it.

"Boom! Boom!!"

The deafening tremor resonated across the sky.
