Chapter 457: Flowing Water is Ruthless

Mu Lan wore a red robe and brass battle armor, her left hand falling onto the hilt of the sword at her waist, pulling it upward fiercely.

Clang.

With a crisp sound of metal collision, most of the precious sword at her waist was pulled out of the scabbard.

Mu Lan did not pull this weapon out completely, only most of it. This degree was enough for her to launch military tactics.

I saw the water ripples on the blade flowing rapidly, similar to the Profound Yellow Sword; the military tactics cast in this Spring-Gushing Sword were activated.

At the same time, Mu Lan shook the commander's flag, dispatching the surrounding soldiers to change the battle formation.

Flowing Water Battle Formation!

The marching speed of the Red Flower Camp suddenly accelerated.

With the cooperation of the military tactics in the blade, a battle formation dharma image was formed again.

This time, the battle formation dharma image was like a long river, the river water surging, but it did not drown the soldiers, but carried them, leading them to flow forward.

Although the General's mansion was declining, it still had its foundation.

Such battle formation conversion was also very rapid and natural, reflecting Mu Lan's leadership ability far exceeding her peers.

Zhang Zhongyi accompanied her, and after a long time, he stopped looking back, turned his head to look at Mu Lan: "General Mu, you did this..."

Zhang Zhongyi valued the word "loyalty" very much; if not for this, he would not have remembered the kindness of the old General Mu back then, voluntarily gave up his medical clinic, ignored the covetousness of many forces for the General's mansion, and voluntarily joined the army to help Mu Lan.

Therefore, Mu Lan's act of casting "Irreconcilable," diverting the disaster, and letting the Three Generals Camp bear the Nascent Soul enemy like Ma Feitui, really made Zhang Zhongyi feel surprised and very uncomfortable.

Mu Lan had already expected Zhang Zhongyi's reaction, looking ahead, with a calm expression, using spiritual sense to transmit: "Uncle Zhang, battlefield operations do not allow for any personal feelings or mercy."

"The Bai Yu Camp is in danger, but it is very important. If this army is destroyed, even if we win, it will be considered a disastrous defeat."

"Even if I participate in the big battle next, it will only be a crime-redeeming merit, and the idea of revitalizing the General's mansion will become a joke!"

"I believe that if my father were here, he would do the same."

The implication was that the old General Mu was also such a "ruthless" person.

Zhang Zhongyi was blocked, and he couldn't help but be speechless.

Mu Lan continued to explain: "The Red Flower dharma image wraps around Ma Feitui; according to my calculations, relying on the military strength of the Three Generals Camp, it can support for the time of an incense stick."

"This time, maybe it's enough for us to help the Bai Yu Camp and then come back to relieve the Three Generals Camp."

"And, I have already sent a flying letter, and the letter contains information about Ma Feitui, which is convenient for the people of the Three Generals Camp to fight."

Zhang Zhongyi felt a little better, but his face was still covered with worry: "The Three Generals Camp might be able to trap Ma Feitui for a while, but don't forget, besides Ma Feitui, there are still many Jin Dan cultivators like Chen Lingfeng and Wu Hen."

"What if these people break the Red Cloud dharma image and release Ma Feitui? What should we do?"

Mu Lan was expressionless: "Ma Feitui hates us to the extreme, and it is very likely that he will abandon the Three Generals Camp, catch up with us again, and find trouble for us."

"Of course, it is also possible that Ma Feitui's anger is hard to calm, and he will slaughter the Three Generals Camp to vent his anger."

"But Uncle Zhang, this is a battlefield, this is a battlefield!"

"We are not the parents of the Three Generals Camp, and we do not guarantee their safety."

"What we must strive for is victory; only victory is our pursuit."

"Anyone who goes to the battlefield must have this awareness!"

Mu Lan's tone was like iron, cold and bloody.

"Sigh!" Zhang Zhongyi sighed again.

He couldn't help but look back again, but the Three Generals Camp was no longer in sight.

"If Unlike Ning Zhuo dies because of this, it would be a pity."

For Unlike Ning Zhuo, although Zhang Zhongyi had not met him many times, he already had a considerable amount of love for talent.

Suddenly, his heart moved: "As the saying goes, fallen flowers have intentions, flowing water is ruthless. Perhaps, this is the correct interpretation of the prophecy poem?"

"If Unlike Ning Zhuo had agreed to dual cultivate with Mu Lan back then, would there be a second possibility at this time?"

Three Generals Camp. Watching the soldiers' movements become slow, the accumulation of fatigue increased rapidly, and some cultivators with injuries were already withered.

Liu Er was anxious: "Second brother, third brother, military advisor, what should we do now?"

"This Red Flower dharma image falls on our heads, absorbing our military strength to maintain itself."

"It is very mysterious and can trap Nascent Soul level powerhouses!"

"But our army is not the Red Flower Camp, it was built not long ago, has no deep foundation, and can only support for a short time, then the whole army will be exhausted and die of fatigue on the spot."

"Should we support the Red Flower dharma image with all our strength, try to delay time as much as possible, and strive for friendly forces to return to rescue us."

"Or, take a risk to start a war, stop supporting the Red Flower dharma image, and fight with this Nascent Soul level demon cultivator?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo was silent.

Liu Er pointed at him directly: "Military advisor, please give me some advice!"

Since Unlike Ning Zhuo joined the army, he had performed repeatedly, making Liu Er's evaluation of him rise again and again. Especially this time, Unlike Ning Zhuo showed his edge, letting Liu Er see the latter's Jin Dan level combat power.

Therefore, Liu Er treated Unlike Ning Zhuo equally, and even had a hint of respect.

He asked Unlike Ning Zhuo first, showing his importance to the latter.

At the same time, his relationship with Guan Hong and Zhang Hei was becoming closer, and he had confidence in his heart—these two sworn brothers could follow his lead!

Unlike Ning Zhuo thought for a while: "Taking a risk to start a war, our army's casualties will inevitably be heavy."

"The most critical problem is, according to the coordination of the four of us, is our combat power enough to deal with a Nascent Soul level opponent?"

Liu Er suddenly looked embarrassed; although he had some confidence, he had no experience at all.

Such a large army battle was also the first time in his life for him.

Battlefield operations are different from one-on-one fights. One obvious difference is that there are too many influencing factors.

Our side has national power and military strength support, while the opponent is a Nascent Soul level demon cultivator, with mysterious methods, not yet fully investigated, and Chen Lingfeng, Wu Hen, and others are watching from the sidelines, ready to move.

These are all huge factors that can affect the direction and result of the battle.

Liu Er found it difficult to estimate.

Just then, Mu Lan's flying letter was transmitted.

Her way of transmitting was very secretive; I saw a red flower growing from the ground, then rapidly growing and blooming, revealing the jade slip in the heart of the flower.

The information was quickly passed and browsed in the hands of the four.

Mu Lan explained in detail the various information about Ma Feitui in the letter, and the content was a lot and very detailed.

Ma Feitui knew the Red Flower Camp quite well, and conversely, Mu Lan also knew Ma Feitui quite well. The number of times the two sides dealt with each other was really too many.

After reading it, Liu Er's anger toward Mu Lan eased a lot: "General Mu Lan wants to rescue the Bai Yu Camp, which is the key to this ambush battle."

"According to this information, we have a certain grasp of dealing with him!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo browsed the information second; he expressed understanding of Mu Lan's actions, but did not forgive her.

Guan Hong and Zhang Hei had the same thoughts as him.

Guan Hong snorted coldly: "Mu Lan, as the daughter of the General, does not look at us. She just gave an order, not negotiating with us, not caring whether we are willing or not."

Zhang Hei shouted: "As Jin Dan, our Three Generals Camp is not under her command, but she treats us like this, it is truly hateful. In the future, we must give her some color to see!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo nodded: "We will settle the account with the Red Flower Camp later."

"If we want to abandon the Red Flower dharma image and start a war directly, then we should not delay!"

"The longer the time drags on, the more the physical strength and magic power of our soldiers will be consumed, and it will be difficult to have combat power to support us."

"Please, General Liu, make a decision quickly!"

Liu Er scanned Unlike Ning Zhuo, seeing his encouraging gaze, and then looked at Guan Hong, who was stroking his beard and raising his head, and Zhang Hei, who was ready to move, and immediately smiled slightly: "What is there to hesitate about, start the war!"
