Chapter 130 Reorganizing the Army! Let's Set Off!
After Meng Lie won the battle, he noticed that Shen Ci's expression was rather unpleasant.
He didn't take it to heart; this was exactly the effect he wanted.
However, Shen Ci had not left, which surprised him somewhat.
Meng Lie thought to himself, "It seems he doesn't want to give up leading the Vermilion Bird Army on the journey."
He knew that Jiangnan Prefecture was dangerous, after all, a fire broke out on the very night Chen Yu checked into Zhuyue Residence and his whereabouts were unknown.
This matter couldn't be kept secret at all; it was common knowledge in the officialdom of Bianjing (Kaifeng).
Without sufficient guards, what difference is there between going to Jiangnan Prefecture and sending oneself to one's death?
The Great Zhou Dynasty can no longer afford to fight wars, as evidenced by this troop mobilization in Jiangnan Prefecture.
The Vermilion Bird Army already harbored resentment because they had to solve their own food and supplies, and now their resentment was even greater.
Meng Lie mocked Shen Ci, using vulgar language such as "coward."
That's how martial artists are: they speak roughly, are straightforward, and their insults are always full of profanity.
Shen Ci usually interacted with civil officials, and even if they didn't get along, he would just mutter a few complaints in his heart.
It was rare to hear Meng Lie speak such vulgar words.
Shen Ci's face was extremely ugly, but Shen Rong, standing to the side, could no longer hold back.
Even if I'm injured, I'll teach Meng Lie a lesson.
Seeing Shen Rong make his move, Meng Lie sneered, "You're courting death! Soldiers, aid me!"
This time, he didn't act alone, but relied on the army formation and gathered the strength of everyone.
Seeing that Meng Lie was actually going all out, Shen Yan's expression turned cold.
Shen Rong was no match for Meng Lie before, but now Meng Lie, with the help of his army, is as strong as a third-rank official.
He was no match for him, but Shen Rong remained fearless and charged forward anyway.
Shen Ci's expression changed drastically. The reason why the four major legions were named was because they had such strategic planning skills.
The combined killing intent of thousands of soldiers is channeled into the commander-in-chief, instantly boosting his strength.
He quickly spoke up to stop her: "Shen Rong, no!!"
Meng Lie sneered, "It's too late to regret it now!"
He struck Shen Rong with a palm; if that palm hit, Shen Rong would surely die.
Shen Yan knew that Shen Rong couldn't withstand this palm strike, so he quickly made a move.
With the support of multiple external training methods, Shen Yan's physical body had already been tempered to a level far superior to Meng Lie's.
Shen Rong only felt a gentle breeze blow by before Shen Yan pushed him aside.
His expression changed drastically; Shen Yan had actually taken the blow alone.
"Shen Yan! We cannot withstand this head-on! This is a tactic used in military coordinated attacks!"
When Meng Lie saw that it was actually the inconspicuous Shen Yan who made the move, he didn't take him seriously because of his young appearance.
Today he has made up his mind to make a big fuss and seek justice for his fallen brothers.
"Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish!"
With their palms facing each other, Meng Lie felt a tremendous force coming from him and couldn't help but take two steps back.
His face was filled with shock, unable to understand why Shen Yan was still standing there perfectly fine.
His palm strike just now was genuine third-grade force, only it lacked the extraordinary qualities of a third-grade martial artist.
Meng Lie stammered, "You—who are you? How did you do that?"
Although Shen Yan remained calm, he was still shaken by Meng Lie, causing his blood and qi to surge.
However, it recovered quickly.
He thought to himself, "This combined attack formation is truly wondrous. Meng Lie was already so terrifying just now, only receiving the support of a thousand men. How powerful would he be if he had the combined strength of ten thousand men?"
However, what Shen Yan didn't know was that the immense power of the military formation was not so easy to withstand.
The thousand-man army formation was already close to Meng Lie's limit; if there were too many people, his physical body would not be able to withstand it.
Shen Rong was amazed to see that Shen Yan had taken the blow so easily.
"Shen Yan's talent is truly terrifying. There was a time when he needed my protection, but now he can protect me."
I'm also glad that I befriended Shen Yan when he was still a nobody, and we developed a friendship.
They couldn't help but admire Shen Ci's foresight, and understood why Shen Ci had valued a prison guard so much back then.
Shen Rong even suspected that Shen Yan had already broken through to the third rank.
He knew all too well how powerful Meng Lie was with the support of the military formation.
He was far superior to a third-rank martial artist like Zeng Yanqiu; even Zeng Yanqiu couldn't withstand that palm strike.
He had just stepped forward with the determination to die, but Shen Yan saved him.
Life is unpredictable; you reap what you sow. If you do good deeds yesterday, you will reap good results today.
Every bite and sip is ordained by Heaven.
Shen Ci thought he had overestimated Shen Yan enough, but he didn't expect that he had still underestimated him.
He could also use the combined attack technique of the Vermilion Bird Army, but he couldn't mobilize much of the soldiers' killing intent.
This doesn't significantly improve his strength; the stronger his physical body, the more malevolent energy he can withstand.
As Shen Ci watched Shen Yan's retreating figure, he couldn't help but think of his own father, Shen Moxuan.
Seeing that his move had been blocked so easily, Meng Lie was unconvinced.
He shouted loudly, "Soldiers! Help me again!"
Shen Ci's expression changed immediately upon hearing Meng Lie's words.
"Meng Lie, stop! Are you crazy!"
Upon hearing their conversation and seeing the formation behind Meng Lie, Shen Yan felt even more soldiers' murderous aura being stirred.
He immediately realized that Meng Lie was consumed by rage and had lost his temper.
He wasn't going to be foolish enough to wait for Meng Lie to build up his momentum before launching a sudden attack.
Shen Yan threw a punch at Meng Lie.
This punch carried the roar of a tiger and the cry of a dragon, startling the eardrums of those around it.
The powerful force, accompanied by a sonic boom, slammed into Meng Lie.
Meng Lie's momentum was interrupted, and he flew back more than ten meters away, half lying on the ground, his eyes fixed on Shen Yan.
He could no longer suppress the churning blood in his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"puff!"
Seeing that his efforts had been effective, Shen Yan nodded inwardly.
"This military formation is indeed strong, but it takes a long time to build up its momentum, making it easy to be interrupted."
The arena fell silent, all eyes on Shen Yan.
His not-so-robust physique suddenly seemed much taller.
The soldiers didn't feel ashamed at all; on the contrary, their eyes shone brightly.
Armies value martial prowess; only the strong can conquer them.
Their status and position do not earn them genuine respect.
But fists can do that; if you beat him, he'll only praise you for being strong.
Meng Lie walked over, his left hand resting on his chest.
"I give up. You're younger than me, and you're a better fighter than me."
These few simple words revealed Meng Lie's true feelings at that moment.
Upon hearing this, the soldiers erupted in thunderous cheers, clearly indicating that everyone approved of Shen Yan.
Shen Yan was stunned. He had come to protect Shen Ci's safety.
I'm not here to lead troops into battle. Leading troops into battle is not child's play. You either know how to do it or you don't.
However, the soldiers of the Vermilion Bird Army clearly did not think that way.
Seeing this, Shen Ci couldn't help but admire his own father.
Recalling what Shen Moxuan had said to him last night, he couldn't help but sigh.
He thought to himself, "So, Father, you foresaw this all along?"
He took out a transfer order and a military tally and handed them to Shen Yan.
Shen Yan was stunned; his name was prominently displayed on the transfer order.
But at this moment, the soldiers were in a state of high spirits, and it was not the time to ask them questions in detail.
He could only give orders to the ten thousand Vermilion Bird soldiers in front of him.
"Ready for battle! Let's march!"
