Chapter 539 - Recognized
The approaching troop was formed by the War Chariot Troop, the Holy Wind Troop, and the Black Dragon Troop, which were all elite among the elites.
There were more than 30 Venerables.
The Third Legion would normally send an upper troop to confront such a lineup, but they only had two battle groups from the middle troop and the Shadow Pursuing Troop at that moment.
The Shadow Pursuing Troop usually acted on their own, as they weren’t even a battle group.
Facing such a huge gap in strength, Zhao Wenhao pulled a long face.
“The Dragon Rebel Army’s overall strength isn’t a match for ours. Since they’ve sent so many elites here, their force must be weak in other places. We just need to try our best to not lose this place,” Jiang Chen said.
“Yeah.” The three corps commanders agreed with him. They looked around for good locations to deploy the defense.
Qiu Yan’s pretty face was downcast when she saw him. She gnashed her teeth.
“It was the Holy Wind Troop that defeated us last time. The commander’s brother tried to cover for us, but in the end, he was killed by this man,” Commander Wang Qiang said.
It dawned on Jiang Chen that the North Mansion Battalion and the Flying Mount Battalion had only been scheming, but it was the Holy Wind Troop who killed.
Qiu Yan suddenly said, “Let me use my vitality. Let’s try our best to kill as many people as we can.”
“Our situation isn’t that desperate.”
Jiang Chen wasn’t a man who gave up easily. He looked around, trying to find a solution.
He kept switching on the formation center status so that the three elite troops couldn’t catch up with the Red Flame Battalion.
The commander of the Holy Wind Troop wasn’t a patient man. Seeing that the Red Flame Battalion wasn’t give up, he gave an order.
“Change the formation!”
A pair of wings suddenly appeared on the formation of the Holy Wind Troop, thanks to which their speed doubled.
When the Red Flame Battalion and the enemy were already very close, a large amount of low-level demons suddenly appeared. They stayed between the two opposing sides to keep the enemy away from the Red Flame Battalion.
“What?”
The commander of the Holy Wind Troop was struck dumb, but he didn’t slow down.
The whole army was like a giant blade made of wind, so the demons couldn’t stop them at all. They were torn apart as soon as they made contact with the Holy Wind Troop.
“It’s not working. Tang Zhengyi, separate the formation.” Jiang Chen made a decision. He didn’t want to get the whole troop in trouble.
Like a part separated from a machine, the fire cloud, made up of more than 100 people, wasn’t even wide enough to cover the soldiers’ figures.
“Jiang Chen!”
Murong Long finally recognized Jiang Chen with complicated feelings.
He had never thought that Jiang Chen, who was supposed to be in exile, would be serving in the Flying Dragon Dynasty’s army.
He knew from the 10,000 war merit points that he had that Jiang Chen must have made great achievements.
This guy just won’t stay quiet, no matter where he goes, Murong Long thought to himself. The only thing he felt lucky about was the fact that Jiang Chen wasn’t a Venerable yet, although he had made progress from the last time they had met.
I have to kill him before he achieves that.
He was even less confident than Ning Haotian. He knew clearly that once Jiang Chen became Venerable, he wouldn’t be a match for him.
Once Murong Long got the chance, Jiang Chen would be killed.
“Jiang Chen, you son of a b*tch!”
Qiu Yan suddenly realized she had lost the control of the formation. The whole Red Flame Battalion was flying on its own.
It was even less feasible for her to go back to rescue him.
