Time passed by second by second. The news that the Heavenly Slayer had given up on commanding from here and instead went to the front lines to kill enemies had already been spread by the messengers to the camps of various divisions. At first, when they heard this news, they were still trying to figure out what was going on, and their morale was indeed somewhat boosted. However, they quickly understood the true meaning of this action.
What followed was the collapse of the northern and western fronts, with one camp after another being breached by the enemy.
They had witnessed the outcome of their failure with their own eyes; even Zheng Yijian, who had always been the most steadfast, now had completely lost his luster.
As they were considering whether to find a safer place to hide, they suddenly saw the tent flap being lifted, and a woman walked in with her head held high.
"Who are you? This is the Central Command Tent, not your place to... uh, Master Zong?"
Just as they were about to reprimand Jiang Xue, they suddenly realized that right behind her was the Xuanmen Sect Leader, True Navigator!
The group was taken aback and quickly began to bow in greeting.
"No need for excessive formalities. I am here to introduce someone to you. From today onwards, this young lady will be our Army's new commander. Her orders are my orders! Whether we can turn the tide today depends on how well you cooperate with her."
Zheng Yijian and the others exchanged glances; if it weren't for True Navigator being present, they would have seriously questioned whether he had lost his mind.
In such a dire situation, relying on such a young girl to turn things around—what kind of nonsense was that? If it were like that, they might as well let Brother Zheng Yijian command; at least they all respected him!
"Ladies and gentlemen, I know what you're thinking, but this is not the time to dwell on our identities. The Demon Clan has already breached the western and northern fronts. If we don't find a way to salvage this situation soon, our entire camp's defenses will be compromised starting from there!"
"Then may I ask what brilliant plan you have?"
"First of all, the Divine Army is already in a state of panic and cannot be relied upon. To reverse our fortunes, we need new reinforcements."
"Pfft! What a joke! Where are we supposed to find reinforcements now? Why don’t you go find some for us?"
"They're almost here. Moreover, I have already assessed the entire situation; they won't come here but will head straight for that camp in the northwest corner. You can rest assured about that."
"Uh." At this point, everyone was left dumbfounded.
The analysis of this woman is very similar to that of Brother Zheng Yijian from before, with the only difference being that she has a real fresh force in her hands. However, trusting her leaves everyone feeling uncertain, as this is a matter that concerns their lives and fortunes. If they trust her incorrectly, they might not even have a chance to escape in the end.
"Then, young lady, what can we do now?" Zheng Yijian asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Of course, we need to find an opportunity to turn the tide. Do you really think that relying on just one expert in the south can maintain the front line? The opposing commander is also a skilled individual, adept at creating chaos amidst disorder. Now, with those newly deployed experts on the eastern battlefield, the enemy won't be able to break through for a while. The south must come up with some strategies. What is your name?"
"Zheng Yijian!"
"Good, now you are my general assigned to the southern front. Find a team of warriors who can stabilize their emotions; they don't need to be too strong or too numerous. Once you reach the southern front, keep an eye on things and tell those warriors and elders to fight to the death against the Demon Clan! If you encounter any fleeing soldiers, do not hesitate—kill them along with those from the Demon Clan!"
"What!" Zheng Yijian listened in shock to her orders and instinctively glanced at the True Navigator beside him.
"Ahem, Jiang Xue, what is the purpose of doing this?" The True Navigator also found it hard to accept. He knew how many chaotic warriors could be driven out in such turmoil; if they were all killed... his heart began to bleed.
"This is not the time for hesitation. First, if we do not stop them now, more warriors will be thrown into chaos and become prey for the Demon Clan. Second, this is also meant to inform them and those Divine Warriors who have not yet been thrown into chaos. They have no way out but to fight to the death! As long as we ignite their fighting spirit, even if the number of experts from the Demon Clan exceeds theirs, it will not lead to such a rout as we see now. Hurry up!"
At this point, Zheng Yijian felt completely convinced and no longer needed to look at the True Navigator for guidance; he excitedly shouted his acceptance of the orders and left.
"Everyone else, gather the layout map of this camp; we will head immediately to the northwest corner—that's where victory or defeat lies!"
Although everyone still did not know Jiang Xue's identity, seeing her remain calm and composed amidst such chaos at such a young age gave them an inexplicable sense of reassurance; perhaps the situation was not as dire as they had thought.
Just as Jiang Xue had said, when they arrived at the western camp, Cai Burin and others had already led a mysterious army there and repelled the vanguard army of the Demon Clan.
"Lady Jiang Xue!" everyone shouted in unison.
"What are these...?"
"True Navigator, these are our Dragon City army. How do they look?"
"Truly a fierce army," he thought. Although the warriors from Dragon City might not be the most elite among their divine race, they possessed a spirit that their divine army had never had!
The rich experience of the True Navigator couldn't quite grasp what this feeling was. He could only vaguely sense that if it came to sending a divine army to face death, they would choose to do so alongside the current army before him.
However, each soldier in the divine army faced death due to their loyalty to their respective sects, one by one.
In contrast, the Dragon City army was willing to face death as a whole because their military discipline had penetrated to the very marrow of their bones!
The gap between these two was as vast as heaven and earth!
"Hehe, Jiang Xue, let me, Old Cai, go fetch them back. If we succeed in completing our mission, you must let me have a good kill tonight! By the way, didn't you all return to Zero Realm? Why are you suddenly here with your army?"
"We'll talk about that later, Brother Cai Burin. Today, even if you don't want to kill, you won't have a choice. Evil and Malicious, Wang Yuanxian, Man Qianyi!"
"Present!"
Originally, with Evil and Malicious's status and identity, there was no need or desire to respond to her orders. However, Jiang Xue now exuded an extraordinary aura that made part of Evil and Malicious's heart willing to follow her commands and engage in battle as directed by her military banner. It was a feeling he couldn't fully understand himself—perhaps it was trust in a commander?
This was the first time he felt such trust in someone other than Wang Long.
"You two lead the Iron Guard and set up formations directly at the front. Cai Burin!"
"Present!"
"You take a team of experts and infiltrate their flank. Regardless of whether both sides reach a stalemate or if they reveal an opening, you will immediately strike from their left flank for a decisive blow!"
"Hehe, sounds good! Old Cai is always eager for such tasks."
From their previous battles against the Demon Lord of the Great Blade, he had already realized where his strengths lay in warfare. Now hearing Jiang Xue's orders made him think of how well they understood each other as husband and wife.
Several of you will now act as the reserve team. If the front line truly reaches a stalemate, relying solely on Cai Burin and the others may not be enough to break the deadlock. At that time, it will be your turn to take the stage.
The True Navigator laughed heartily and said, "What a remarkable woman! It's been a long time since I've fought as an Ordinary Elder. This time, I'll follow your lead, young lady."
The front line of the Divine Army collapsed faster than they had imagined. Soon, the Demon Clan was already charging in, dispersing a group of Divine Warriors as usual!
"Divine brothers at the front, halt! This is Xuanmen Sect Leader True Navigator! Turn around immediately and fight to the death against the enemy! Do not charge into our main camp; otherwise, you will face immediate execution!"
"Huh? Xuanmen Sect Leader?"
"Lord Zhenhang?"
The warriors of the Divine Clan were momentarily stunned upon hearing this name. However, the Demon Clan members were closing in from behind. Aside from a small number who were inspired by this and turned back to fight desperately, most continued to advance.
There was nothing to be done; such is human nature. Otherwise, there would be no need for military discipline in this world.
"Come on! Attack!"
While the Divine Warriors in the main camp were still in shock, Jiang Xue had already shouted sternly.
