Chapter 575 General

After dealing with the Windwalker,Li An continued searching for men and soldiers in the military camp.He divided the 500-strong army into four teams.The first team, the vanguard, consisted entirely of martial artists.The second team, the support team, consisted entirely of elementalists. Li An required everyone to learn at least two healing spells within three days.He then further subdivided the elemental army, grouping them by element for easier elemental reactions later.The third team was also almost entirely composed of elementalists, but these elementalists were skilled in using source energy firearms, making them a ranged artillery force.The fourth team, the elite army, consisted entirely of eighth-realm and seventh-realm experts.Time passed day by day.One late night, Li An looked up at the stars.The sky was very dark.The time had come!"Assemble!" The order was given.Four well-rested armies, having rested for four days, assembled!"First team, charge to the enemy city gates at top speed!""Second team, stay within 200 meters of the vanguard.""Third team, provide ranged support.""Fourth team, await orders.""All troops, attack!"The order was given.Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a vanguard force composed of sixth-realm warriors emerged from the city.The situation instantly tensed, and the strategists outside watched with great interest.Frankly, this vanguard force was practically invincible, right?They were all sixth-realm warriors; even martial artists would be easily overwhelmed.Unbeknownst to them, the vanguard's leader had already received a secret message from Li An.The vanguard force charged frantically across the battlefield.Faced with such a weak force, Lin Youguo had no intention of engaging them head-on.All elementalists opened fire from the city gates.No leaving the city! At this moment, the vanguard army immediately changed direction and began running back and forth around the city walls, instantly drawing the attention of all artillery fire.The second army, also composed of elementalists, was less than two hundred meters away from the vanguard, simultaneously healing and attacking, using elemental neutralization techniques.In an instant, the seemingly weak vanguard army was completely unscathed.Li An knew that the enemy's firepower was mostly from martial artists, unlike their own.Therefore, their troop strength was just right; the enemy couldn't do anything to them.And them?Could they also be unable to defeat them?The third long-range artillery unit was deployed, directly targeting the elementalists on the enemy city gates.The first and second armies had already drawn most of the attention.So the third army, which had been secretly advancing, was hitting its targets almost every time!The enemy ranks began to suffer casualties.Elementalists fell from the city gates one by one.Lin Youguo frowned.Open the city gates!A massive army of three hundred martial artists roared out, each exuding a murderous aura. Seeing this, the vanguard of the Sixth Realm didn't even turn back and immediately fled.The First and Second Armies continued to provide cover, and in the darkness, elemental energy filled the sky.Everyone understood.This vanguard was a mobile force, a sitting duck.Their objective was to lure our army out of the city.What could they do if we left the city?At this moment,Li An's elite Fourth Army attacked from the flank, charging forward.Lin Youguo was prepared, sending 150 elemental divisions into the air.Thus,in this dark night,both armies were almost fully mobilized.But the battle line continued to shift towards Li An's camp.It seemed the tide had turned.Lin Youguo was now on the offensive, and Li An was constantly retreating.The city gate remained unscathed, and the enemy was getting further and further away from our gate.In this situation, Lin Youguo on the city wall had no reason to lose.However, the main battlefield was a bit far away and he couldn't see it clearly, so he took two steps forward and came into the moonlight.Two seconds later.The Windwalker, hidden in the chaos and moving like the wind, finally appeared.He roared nervously, "Die!" His cold, long blade slashed down at Lin Youguo's neck without hesitation!"Damn it!" Lin Youguo cursed.There are rules.Neither side's strategists can personally take action; he can only passively be attacked!Otherwise, Li An could directly unleash a Three Realms Fusion attack to storm the city gate, or Lin Youguo could unleash a Divine Realm pressure attack—there would be no way to fight back.General!The assessment is over!Li An and Lin Youguo returned to reality!At this moment!Thunderous applause erupted in the massive headquarters office!Every strategist who came to watch the battle had excitement and exhilaration on their face."Incredible! I calculated everything, but I never expected Li An to go straight for the checkmate.""So he wasn't trying to lure Lin Youguo's army, but Lin Youguo's head!""I really didn't expect this until the very last moment."Lin Youguo's face darkened slightly.He had truly miscalculated.Because his opponent was just a child, and it was merely a harmless assessment, he hadn't gone all out. If it were a real battlefield, he wouldn't have fallen for the trap.Oh well.Finally, Lin Youguo gave a self-deprecating laugh, stepped forward, and patted Li An's shoulder, saying, "Truly, the younger generation surpasses the older.""Keep it up. I hope you can be just as excellent on the real battlefield in the future."At this moment, Lin Youguo hadn't realized that his greatest boast in his old age was, "I once went toe-to-toe with Li An!"Li An stood amidst the prolonged applause.He was also somewhat excited.Strictly speaking, this was his first battle, and it was truly thrilling.He seemed to be starting to understand the interesting nature of the strategist profession.Nothing is as satisfying as victory.At this moment, Mu Yixin said with a smile, "Young man, avoid being impetuous.""There's still some time before you take office.""You can recruit soldiers for yourself during this time, but you can only take a maximum of three people from the Temple of Cultivation."After saying that, he looked at the other strategists and said, "These old fogies are also eager to try out this generation's genius." Everyone laughed.Li An nodded and said, "I understand.""Then it's alright, I'll take my leave."Mu Yixin nodded and said, "Go ahead and get busy, Meng Chen will handle your onboarding procedures later."Meng Chen stepped forward, leading Li An, looking at the young man's profile, thinking that this kid was becoming more and more like the founder.He was genuinely happy.But outwardly, he still kept a straight face and said, "Let's go.""You haven't truly won yet, don't be so happy."Li An quickly nodded and followed.As soon as they stepped outside...What a coincidence.Li An bumped into Li Shaoshu.Li Shaoshu looked up, seeing Li An's slightly upturned lips, Meng Chen, and the beaming faces of the bigwigs in the room. He knew then that Li An had passed the assessment, and probably performed exceptionally well.Thinking of this, Li Shaoshu felt a pang of dejection.Suddenly.Li An placed his hand on Li Shaoshu's shoulder and said calmly, "The Chief said that each person can only take three geniuses from the Cultivation Temple with them.""Qin Kuang, Qin Xiaoye, Cao Tianlian, these three are very useful, I'll entrust them to you."Li Shaoshu's heart skipped a beat, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.These words were too harsh.In Li An's mind, Li Shaoshu couldn't possibly fail the assessment.In Li An's mind, he was a very capable person, enough for Li Shaoshu to entrust his most important brothers to him and let him use them.The assessment hadn't even started.He had already made the arrangements.Li Shaoshu lowered his head and said, "I...I'll do my best." "What are you doing with your head down like that?" Li An patted Li Shaoshu on the back and said, "Straighten up, speak louder. In this human realm, what are we Li family members afraid of?"
