Wang Hu and Wang Lan were both going about doing their own things when the Azure Sky Kingdom launched a swift attack breaking through one of the main fronts and directly attacked the commander of the Heavenly Sky Kingdom's border defence.
The budget Nascent Soul Realm Experts sent over by both the Seven Fates Sects and the Heavenly Sky Kingdom happened to be present at the scene when the commander was attack and tried their best to help out but were swiftly dealt with as they escaped. Leaving behind the commander and two other Nascent Soul Realm Experts there to defend against more than five Nascent Soul Realm Experts alone from the Azure Sky Kingdom.
The other parts of the border were not doing so well either as the Azure Sky Kingdom had launched an attack on all the Nascent Soul Realm Experts placed around the frontline.
"Should we help out on the frontline or go help the commander?" Wang Lan looked over to his brother, clearly not knowing what to do in the current situation. He had never expected for the Azure Sky Kingdom to launch such a large-scale attack, especially not when rumours about the plague spreading through their territory had started to appear recently.
"Hm… Both situations would be dangerous, but I highly doubt going to help the commander would be as dangerous as going to the frontline and risk being attack from behind by the people from the Azure Sky Kingdoms side that made it through the border defence…
Helping the commander is the best idea, we would also have an easier time retreating if things really called for it. Going to the frontline would just end up making retreating harder and the commander would most likely appreciate it more if we went to help him! At least the Heavenly Sky Kingdom won't say we ran away without fighting… Not that it would matter if the Azure Sky Kingdom ended up winning." Shaking his head at the last bit, Wang Hu felt that the current situation was slowly growing more and more chaotic.
Coming to an agreement, both Wang Hu and Wang Lan decided to help the commander, they already had the Sect Master's order to retreat in case things grew too dangerous.
The Flying Sword Sect would not gain anything from the fight no matter who won. The only reason why they sent over people in the first case, was because the Heavenly Sky Kingdom was too strong for the current Flying Sword Sect to resist, they had to at least put up a front and sent some of their people over to help them.
But there was no way Feng Chen, as the Sect Master of the Flying Sword Sect, would allow 2 Nascent Soul Realm Experts to die for that… The Flying Sword Sect was already short on experts, why risk having both of them perish at the hands of The Heavenly Sky Kingdom's enemy?
…
At the same time Wang Hu and Wang Lan had decided to make their way over to help the commander, the people sent over by both the Raging Flame Sect and Spring Flower Sect came to the same decision as all three groups of Nascent Soul Realm Experts made their way over towards the place that the commander of the Heavenly Sky Kingdom was located at.
This had left only the few Nascent Soul Realm Experts on the Heavenly Sky Kingdoms side and the experts from the Seven Fates Sect, to defend against the offensive launched by the different sect on the Azure Sky Kingdoms side.
The battle did not look any better when it came to the ordinary part of the army that was below the Nascent Soul Realm, many of them were not even prepared to fight back and this had resulted in a large part of the army getting caught off guard and dying in the process before they even manged to mount a defence against the attackers.
"Get to the rest of the army and ask them to retreat to the mountain pass south of here!" As the battle was reaching an all-time high across the border, the middle-aged commander from the Heavenly Sky Kingdom did not even have time to use his communication talisman as he ordered one of his two subordinates to call the order for retreat in his place.
"But we will lose a large part of th-"
"Just do it!" Hearing the hesitating voice of his subordinate, the commander frowned as he yelled back at him before returning his attention back to the people from the Azure Sky Kingdoms side.
Swish~
The sound of a blade cutting through the air could be heard as the commander mobilized his cultivation base to the maximum and executed a movement technique, momentarily increasing his speed enough to barely dodge the attack.
"This guy is really troublesome… Why did, the Heavenly Sky Kingdom would allow someone at the sixth stage to come to the border…" The person who launched the earlier sneak attack let out a fearful exclamation as he looked at the middle-aged man staring coldly in his direction.
"Hah… I don't think they expected for us to attack… This guy is most likely some member of the Heavenly Sky Kingdoms royal family looking for an easy opportunity to earn a bit of merit for staying at the border and defend against the Azure Sky Kingdom or something along that line… Let me deal with him, you four can deal with those two randoms besides him." Rolling his eyes upon hearing the fearful tone of the person in front of him, one of the Nascent Soul Realm Experts on the Azure Sky Kingdoms side walked forward.
The man looked to be no more than his early thirties or late twenties dressed in a light blue robe with a snowflake symbol on the side of it. The moment he appeared, the commander on the side of the Heavenly Sky Kingdom felt a huge pressure descend upon him as he narrowed his eyes and prepared for whatever the young man from the Azure Sky Kingdoms side would do.
"No need to bother with the serious look, you are not my opponent..." Confidently walking forward, the young man waved his hands as they lit up with a blue light, causing several small runic symbols to manifest in the air in front of him.
Woosh~
The runic symbols formed together into a complicated array within only a few seconds as they soon let off a gentle blue light, causing a large amount ice to gather together in the form of a giant spear in front of the young man.
"Well, time to end this!" Saying this, the young man drew one final symbol in the form of a small snowflake that quickly flew out and merged together with the giant ice spear in front of him, causing it to shine brightly before moving in the direction of the commander from the Heavenly Sky Kingdoms side.
