“All of you…Are you ready to face death?”
As soon as he said this, the practitioners present immediately fell silent.
Having heard Lu Yuan’s words now, coupled with his previous actions of driving away the other practitioners, his message was very clear.
The practitioners present seemed to vaguely understand the reason why Lu Yuan drove those practitioners away.
Lu Yuan was not chasing them away, but saving them!
Due to the timing of the information, most of the practitioners were still unaware of the Liang Kingdom’s attack.
Although it was not a wise move to drive away a portion of his subordinates before the battle.
However, Lu Yuan also had his own considerations.
His thoughts were very simple. Since this was an insignificant battle, there was no need to sacrifice too many lives for it.
That was right. The battle between the Great Liang Kingdom and the Great Xia Kingdom did not matter to Lu Yuan.
This was because the only battle that could determine the final outcome was the battle between the cultivators in the Full Moon Mountain Range.
No matter how intense the battle between mortals outside the Full Moon Mountain Range was, it had a limited impact on the overall situation.
As the representative of the Qingyun Sect in the mortal world, although Lu Yuan did not become the current commander of the Great Xia Kingdom’s three armies, he was still a member of the Qingyun Sect.
However, the Devil Slayers Division’s power was completely handed over to Lu Yuan.
Although he could not decide the strategy of the entire Great Xia Kingdom’s army, he could determine the future direction of the practitioners to a certain extent.
It was exactly because he knew the nature of this battle.
Therefore, Lu Yuan had never thought of risking his life with this group of people from the beginning.
He didn’t want to risk the life of the practitioners of the Demon Slayers Department.
To summarize it in a single sentence, it was not worth it!
However, since the other party had already come knocking on his door, Lu Yuan naturally could not do nothing.
Although he had chased away Shang Yun and the others and had lost a portion of his combat strength.
However, Lu Yuan felt that just this group of practitioners in front of him was enough to complete his subsequent arrangements.
Facing Lu Yuan’s interrogation, the practitioners looked at each other and gave their answers one after another.
The gold-ranked great practitioner, Lion-ape, walked out of the group and cupped his hands at Lu Yuan.”The entire Devil Slayers Division is under the command of the Director! Please tell us what we should do next.”
Lu Yuan first glanced at Lion-ape, who had walked up to him, then at the people beside him who had the same determined expression.
He nodded in his heart and thought, “This morale…Usable!”.
Seeing this, Lu Yuan finally began to speak of his specific arrangements.
“Fellow colleagues, I have bad news to tell you.”
“The news is that the Great Liang Kingdom has already sent 500,000 devilish armies to the borders of the Great Xia Kingdom.”
As soon as he said this, the practitioners who did not know the situation of the battle revealed a solemn expression.
Even though there had been frequent friction between the Great Liang Kingdom and the Great Xia Kingdom over the years due to the border.
However, in general, this kind of friction battle was mostly limited to the battles between the devilish path unaffiliated cultivators and the devil exorcists.
Or perhaps it was because the scale of the battle was only 100 people, and it did not expand to the extent of an all-out attack.
The last war between the two countries was about 300 years ago.
300 years was a long time for mortals.
Even for most of the rogue cultivators, that was a very long time, enough for them to forget many things.
Therefore, most of the people present had never experienced such a large-scale battle.
The only person among them who had participated in such a battle was the 320-year-old Lion-ape.
In the last war between the two countries, Lion-ape had only joined as an ordinary martial artist and did not participate in the core battlefield.
Even so, Lion-ape still remembered the scene of the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood.
Every time he thought about it, he would feel his heart palpitate.
Because even he was not confident that he could survive such a large-scale battlefield.
When he heard that the Great Liang Kingdom had once again waged war against the Great Xia Kingdom, Lion-ape was more agitated than anyone else.
He also understood what Lu Yuan meant by chasing away Shang Yun and the others.
The director was saving their lives!
The other practitioners also understood Lu Yuan’s good intentions.
Therefore, everyone looked at Lu Yuan with even more respect.
A scholar would die for his confidant. The practitioners at present had such a feeling.
Lu Yuan looked around. After seeing that everyone seemed to be mentally prepared, he continued, “The 500,000 strong army of the Liang Kingdom will arrive at Moon Mountain Pass in a few days. At that time, all of you will have to join the battle against the Liang Kingdom’s army.”
“I’m sure everyone knows that this battle is no longer a simple battle between mortals.”
“A battle that can get you practitioners involved must have the participation of devilish cultivators. Therefore, the danger of this battle is self-evident.”
“Therefore, before we set off, I have a few things to warn everyone.”
“First, all practitioners under this division, only need to listen to my orders. We don’t need to be controlled by others.”
“Second, after receiving my military orders, all of you, practitioners, must complete them unconditionally. Those who disobey the military orders…Will be killed without mercy.”
“Third, all practitioners are not allowed to use the war to harm civilians. Those who were found to do so will be killed without mercy.”
The two consecutive words of ‘killed without mercy’ immediately filled the Devil Slayers Department with strong killing intent.
This also made many practitioners who had never experienced the battlefield begin to understand the meaning of the word, war.
One should not think that fighting an army was the same as fighting devils.
There was actually a fundamental difference between the two.
Although the practitioners of the Devil Slayers Division had experienced many battles with devil and devilish cultivators, they were still in the midst of fighting.
However, they had never experienced a battle involving hundreds of thousands of people.
Unlike Lu Yuan, who was a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Most of the practitioners at present were only at the Qi Cultivation Stage.
Although their battle prowess was stronger than ordinary people, it was not to the point where they could fight ten thousand people.
Not to mention that many of the generals in the army were also comparable to the Qi Refinement realm in terms of strength.practitioners present.
With the addition of well-trained soldiers, it was not strange for a practitioner to die on the battlefield once they were surrounded.
Even if it was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, if they were surrounded by tens of thousands of soldiers and matched with a few powerful generals, they would not be able to escape.
In the end, being beaten to death was not something unimaginable.
In the last war between the two countries, there had been cases of Foundation Establishment cultivators dying.
Thus, even Lu Yuan could not let his guard down in this battle.
Otherwise, it was very likely that they would fail miserably.
Lu Yuan looked at the practitioners present and sighed in his heart.
After this battle, who knew how many people would be lucky enough to survive?
Not to mention them, even the Qingyun Sect cultivators might not be able to survive this great battle between the righteous and devilish sects.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan once again felt the cruelty of the immortal cultivation world.
They were a group of self-proclaimed cultivators who pursued immortality.
In the end, how many people could obtain true immortality?
After sighing with emotion, Lu Yuan looked at the practitioners and said his last words.
“Fellow colleagues, I won’t say anything else.”
“I wish everyone…a prosperous immortal fate!”
“Now, let’s go.”
Following the appearance of the Liang Kingdom’s army, the Great Xia Kingdom’s army gathered.
A new round of war between the Righteous and Devilish sides had officially begun.
