Chapter 106: Battle of Jintang Immortal City

It was not the reconnaissance battalion's job to clean up the battlefield. Three days after the battle ended, the battle situation was counted.

Two hundred and thirty thousand members of the Siren clan were annihilated, including two in the early Nascent Soul stage, ten in the Golden Core stage, and countless in the Foundation Establishment and Qi Training stage.

The human race lost more than 32,000 people this time, including three Nascent Soul cultivators, twenty-two Golden Core cultivators, and countless Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Compared with the sirens, the human race suffered a heavy loss of high-end combat power. Originally, there were only thirteen Nascent Soul cultivators in Dongzhizhou, but now three have died. There were seventy-six Golden Core cultivators, and in a battle to rescue them, twenty-two of them were lost, one-third of which were casualties.

There were about 320,000 sea people participating in the battle, while the human race had more than 120,000 in the end.

After five days of rest, Shi Chen waited for the military merits to be exchanged. In this battle, Shi Chen received 7,400 military merits, which he could exchange for 17 Golden Yuan Pills. Together with the remaining military merits, he still had 2,650 military merits, which he could exchange for a mid-grade flying sword magic weapon and a mid-grade protective magic weapon, leaving him with 100 military merits.

On the tenth day of rest, Liang Ruyan came back from the military headquarters to convey new combat instructions. The 5th Battalion's Reconnaissance Battalion was dispatched to the front line, and the main army followed up. The battle to relieve the siege of Jintang Xiancheng began.

Shi Chen's team was assigned to the easternmost battle zone. Compared with the middle battlefield, the number of sirens was much smaller, with no more than a hundred sirens in each group. The commander of the sirens had only the early to middle stages of foundation building. Those with high cultivation were concentrated in the middle battlefield. The siren clan also contracted the battle line, and a large group of sirens retreated to three hundred miles outside the Jintang Immortal City.

This time the reconnaissance mission was very easy. After a journey of more than 4,000 miles, they encountered five groups of sea monsters, each with dozens of creatures. The highest cultivation level was only the sixth level of foundation building. The third reconnaissance team easily annihilated the sea monster teams and arrived at the designated location in 20 days.

Three hundred miles southeast of Jintang Fairy City, the third scout team is stationed on the top of a mountain. The view here is wide, and the area within a radius of forty or fifty miles is within the observation range. They have already discovered a large group of sea monsters in the northwest direction, with a number of more than ten thousand, which are forty-six or forty-seven miles away.

Among the group of tens of thousands of sirens, there should be sirens at the Jindan stage or above. Only sirens at the middle and late Jindan stage or above can control such a large number of people. There may also be sirens at the Yuanying stage among them, so Shi Chen and his team can only observe from a distance of twenty or thirty miles.

If the battle report from half a year ago was correct, in this siren invasion, more than 2.3 million sirens came ashore. One city was captured and two cities were besieged on the northern coastal front, with about 1.3 million sirens distributed.

On the southern battlefield, one city was captured and besieged, and the number of sirens was about one million.

In the battle to relieve Dagu Fairy City, 230,000 sea monsters were annihilated, and the actual number of sea monsters on the northern battlefield was over one million.

The number of sea monsters to be faced in the Jintang Relief Battle should be more than 500,000, while the human monk army now has less than 150,000 monks supporting from various states.

The outcome of a war in the world of cultivation cannot be determined by low-end combat power. The final victory still depends on the high-end battlefield. As long as the big guys win, the war can be won.

A cultivator at the fusion stage cannot be fought against by hundreds of thousands of foundation-building and Qi-training cultivators. A sea monster at the late fusion stage cannot be surrounded and killed by twenty Yuanying stage cultivators. Yuanying stage cultivators cannot withstand a spell from a fusion stage boss at all.

The combat effectiveness of the third reconnaissance team is still good. Compared with the reconnaissance battalion where Shi Chen is located, the 20th team of the two regiments can be ranked in the top five in combat effectiveness. However, it is still assigned to the edge of the responsible area. It encounters the least sea monsters, so the military merits it obtains are also the least.

The closer they got to the middle battlefield, the more sea monsters they encountered. Scattered groups of sea monsters were all military merits. When they arrived at the designated location, each member of the third reconnaissance team received five or six hundred military merits. Compared with the monks in the middle battlefield who earned one or two thousand military merits, the team members had some complaints.

"Captain, why did you assign us to the edge? This is the very edge of the battlefield, and there are hardly any sirens here." Tuwu complained.

"That's right. Our team's combat power is at least in the top five in the entire battalion, but we were pushed to the edge. Even our regiment's second team, a dandy team, was sent to the center of the battlefield. If we encounter a Jindan sea monster, the second team will have to stick to it." Zeng Tieniu said jealously.

"That's right, the captain is really biased." Zhao Fang also agreed.

Liang Ruyan looked at the large group of sea monsters dozens of miles away and said, "This is the commander's order. We just follow orders. No nonsense. Even if there are many sea monsters in the middle, there are still many dangers. There are only five people left in the second team. It's better for us to stay on the edge of the battlefield. At least we don't have to fight for our lives. Once the siege of Jintang Immortal City is over, everyone can just earn a thousand or two military merits."

"The vanguard troops will enter the battlefield tomorrow. Should we follow behind and drink some soup?" Zhang Hao said with some envy.

"Wait for orders from above. If there is no order from the regiment commander or the governor, we can just stay here and gain some military merits." Liang Ruyan said.

"Everyone should listen to the captain. I think this battle went too smoothly. There are too few sea monsters with cultivation above the Jindan level. According to the military newspaper, there are more than 2.3 million sea monsters in total, and there are about 1.3 million on the northern battlefield. In the previous battle to relieve Dagu Fairy City, only more than 230,000 were annihilated. The number of sea monsters above the Jindan level is not equal. As far as I know, in previous sea monster invasions, there were more than 200,000 sea monsters, including at least a dozen Yuanying sea monsters and a hundred Jindan sea monsters. So we should still be on the edge of the battlefield and just get some military merits. I am worried that the main force of the sea monster clan, the sea monsters with high cultivation levels, are now pressing in the rear, waiting for the opportunity to hit our monks." Shi Chen analyzed.

"No way? In the past, the Sirens were always straightforward. I've never seen them hide their high-end combat power." Fatty Yu asked doubtfully.

"I'm not sure either, but my intuition tells me that the central battlefield is very dangerous. I don't want to go in." Shi Chen said.

"We should try not to get close to the central battlefield. Let's kill some scattered sea monsters on the periphery first and wait for orders from above." Liang Ruyan said.

The vanguard army quickly reached the battlefield. Fifty thousand monks killed sea monsters on the central battlefield. Sixty thousand monks arrived from the rear. The number of human monks joining the battlefield had reached 110,000 to 120,000. Facing five or six hundred thousand sea monsters, it seemed as if a lot of military merits were waiting to be harvested in front of them. The human monks burst into unprecedented enthusiasm and rushed into the battlefield.

The group of monsters in front of the third reconnaissance team was attacked by the monk army from the east behind. Two rounds of piercing attacks by the 4,000 monks killed more than 3,000 sea monsters.

The human monk army lost only more than 300 people. Faced with such a battle situation, the members of the third team asked Captain Liang Ruyan to apply to join the battle.

Looking at the easy battle in front of you, it’s as if the siren is spiritual rice, waiting for you to harvest.

Liang Ruyan remained calm, suppressing the thoughts of her teammates and not being affected by the scene before her.

When all the monks in the rear of the human race were thrown into the battlefield, the battlefield became extremely chaotic. In order to gain military merit, the monks often scrambled to kill the sea monsters. Their originally neat formations were no longer in place after one or two hours of entering the battlefield. They fought on their own in groups of three or five, like loose sand.
