Chapter 558 The Immortal King Realm Erupts in War

Only Axiang had yet to roll the dice.

If Axiang's number was below four, this commander position would be his.

Axiang picked up the dice and tossed them casually.

As the dice settled, the First Legion Commander chuckled.

Axiang's luck wasn't particularly good either, only scoring three points.

"Gentlemen, I thank you for your consideration," the First Legion Commander said with a laugh.

"Don't celebrate too early."

"If your command doesn't give us an advantage, we have the right to refuse to follow it."

The Second Legion Commander spoke with a grim expression.

The First Legion Commander nodded, "Agreed. If my command is improper, I am willing to step aside."

"One more thing, you can't make our people cannon fodder."

It was not easy for the First Legion Commander to become the commander.

Even if Axiang and the other two agreed to let him be the commander, they would not truly grant him absolute power.

No contract had been signed before the dice roll.

Without the constraint of a contract, what was the point of going back on one's word?

"You can't refuse reasonable commands, can you?" the First Legion Commander asked sternly.

"That, of course, we won't refuse."

"However, our agreement can only be verbal. We will not sign a Dao Oath contract with you," the Fourth Legion Commander stated.

"Seconded," the Second Legion Commander chimed in.

Axiang smiled, "Seconded."

The First Legion Commander's expression grew even more displeased. Without the constraint of a Dao Oath contract, some of his decisions would not be smoothly implemented.

In other words, unless his arrangements could impress Axiang and the other two.

Once Axiang and the other two disagreed, his decisions could not proceed smoothly.

Qin Han Chu remained silent, simply sitting beside Axiang with a smile on his face.

"I have decided to leave only one legion to guard our city, and the rest will directly attack the enemy's city."

"We will end this battle with lightning speed."

The First Legion Commander voiced his plan.

Axiang looked at Qin Han Chu, "Husband, what do you think?"

"You are the Legion Commander, you make the decision," Qin Han Chu smiled.

"I think it's not bad," the Second Legion Commander said thoughtfully.

The Fourth Legion Commander remained silent, seemingly in thought.

Axiang then spoke, "The city has a protective formation, so it won't be easy to capture."

"If the enemy legions go out in batches, we will encircle and annihilate them first."

"As long as we wear down their combat strength, the power of the protective formation will also be greatly weakened."

The First Legion Commander replied.

...

The meeting of the four lasted for over three hours.

After their discussions, a total of four plans were made.

With these four plans, even if victory was not achieved, losses could be minimized as much as possible.

In the following period, the four legions began to prepare their armies.

After a week of preparation, all four legions were at full strength.

Each legion had five thousand men, with a total of twenty thousand Immortal King realm cultivators participating in the war.

Although these twenty thousand people were all at the Immortal King realm, their strength still varied.

In a one-on-one fight, their differences might be obvious.

But in a melee, individual strength could no longer dictate the course of the war.

Unless one had the strength to crush the enemy, one could only cooperate with teammates.

Playing the lone wolf at this time would only lead to a tragic end.

After the legions were at full strength, Axiang began training.

As an Immortal God realm powerhouse, Axiang's memory contained many terrifying battle formations.

Under her arrangement, these five thousand men began training the "Luotian Great Formation"!

This formation could attack and defend!

Whether attacking or defending, its power could be amplified by more than five times.

Such an increase in strength was absolutely terrifying.

As long as the enemy's formation was weaker than the Luotian Great Formation, Axiang's legion would have the dominant position.

In three months, the Third Legion had trained the Luotian Great Formation to perfection.

As soon as Qin Han Chu gave the command, everyone could change formations.

It was also on this day that Axiang and the others received orders from the Gu Dao Immortal Pavilion.

Led by Axiang, the five thousand strong army marched towards the designated city.

On the way, the other three legions also arrived successively.

The aura of these three legions was equally terrifying, indicating that the other three had also given their legions special training.

A week later, the twenty thousand men entered the city.

By this time, the city had become an empty shell, with only the fighting armies stationed within.

In the courtyard of the City Lord's mansion, there was a flagpole, and the flag of the Gu Dao Immortal Pavilion fluttered in the wind.

As long as this flag was cut down, the city would be considered captured.

The four legions were stationed in four different districts.

They quietly waited for the war to begin.

A few more days passed, and an Immortal Saint realm powerhouse appeared above the city, "For the glory of the Gu Dao Immortal Pavilion, let the battle begin!"

"Proceed according to the plan."

"The Fourth Legion will guard the city, and the other three legions will follow me to attack."

Two days prior, the legion commanders had already received the battle maps.

At the command of the First Legion Commander, the three major legions marched towards the enemy city.

Axiang and the others stood at the front of the Third Legion, and the five thousand strong army behind them had sky-piercing momentum.

The fifteen thousand Immortal King powerhouses were divided into three formations, flying in the air like three massive dark clouds.

At this moment, the First Legion Commander stood at the very front. He had already dispatched dozens of men as scouts to investigate the enemy's movements.

The Gu Dao Immortal Pavilion and the Yue Lang Immortal Pavilion were a month's journey apart.

This meant that even if no conflict occurred, it would take them a month to reach their destination.

The Gu Dao Immortal Pavilion knew to send scouts to gather information, and the other side would naturally do the same.

Half a month later, the three legions had flown half the distance.

Just then, several scouts flew back rapidly.

"Legion Commander, we have found an enemy legion to the southwest."

Upon hearing this, the First Legion Commander hurriedly asked, "Only one legion?"

"Yes, only one legion."

Upon receiving the scouts' confirmed answer, the First Legion Commander immediately transmitted a message to Axiang and the other two, "There is a legion to the southwest. Let's go kill them immediately and annihilate them."

"Agreed," Axiang replied with his transmission.

After obtaining the agreement of Axiang and the Second Legion Commander, the three legions accelerated towards the southwest.

To the southwest, there was indeed only one legion, currently flying at a leisurely pace.

At this moment, several scouts hurried back.

"Three legions of the Gu Dao Immortal Pavilion are heading towards us."

The Legion Commander's expression remained calm, "How many men?"

"Fifteen thousand men, three legions consolidated," the scout replied.

"Go scout again and see if they are encircling us separately."

Under the Legion Commander's command, these scouts quickly departed.

A few days later, the scouts returned, "The three legions have begun to encircle us. The southeast is our only escape route."

"Let's go, we'll retreat from the southeast."

"They can chase if they want to."

The Legion Commander's tone was still calm, showing no fear of Qin Han Chu and the others who were pursuing them.

Not long after this legion retreated, Axiang and the others received intelligence about their movements.
