Cultivation Online novel Chapter 1009

Chapter 1009 - City Lord

[You have started your first trial in the Stairway to Heaven]

[You have to survive 24 hours and protect the city from outside forces]

[Finish the trial with less than 10 percent casualties in the city to receive a reward]

Yuan walked to the window and looked outside.

The city was quite massive, but it was not so big that he couldn't see the borders from his location. In fact, he could see the entire city up there.

'I don't see anyone attacking just yet…' Yuan thought to himself as he surveyed the city's surroundings.

"City Lord!"

A voice suddenly called for him.

He turned to look at the door, where a middle-aged man with a cultivation of a peak Spirit King stood.

"What's the matter?"

"We have received a report from our scouts that there is an army of 10,000 approaching the direction of our city from the north, their intentions unknown. They have over 9,000 Spirit Lords and 1,000 Spirit Kings. With such forces, I doubt they're coming here to have tea. What are your orders, City Lord?" The man reported.

Yuan's jaw almost dropped to the ground after hearing the report.

'Over 1,000 Spirit Kings?! The difficulty has ramped up so much compared to the last trial!' He cried inwardly.

He wasn't confident that he would be able to defeat such a powerful army even at his current state.

Then he realized something.

"What's the condition of our army looking like?" He asked the middle-aged man, who was wearing military armor.

"We have 1,000 Spirit Lords and 500 Spirit Kings ready to be deployed at this moment," said the middle-aged man.

'That's slightly above 10 percent of their total forces… This is going to be rough, especially if we wait for them to come. If I want that special reward, I will have to make sure that they don't get close to the city. In order for this to happen… I will have to go to them.'

After pondering for some time and coming up with a conclusion, Yuan turned to the middle-aged man and spoke, "How far away are these people?"

"They're about two hours away."

Yuan nodded and said, "Bring half of our forces with me. We're going to intercept them before they can get close to our city. As for the other half, leave them here just in case they have reinforcements."

"As you command, City Lord."

Half an hour later, Yuan and 750 soldiers left the city and made their way towards the north.

Sometime later, once they could see the enemy with their eyes, Yuan stopped and said, "Wait for my order."

"Yes!" [ The most uptodate novels are published on Freewebnovel.com ]

Yuan summoned the Empyrean Overlord and took a deep breath before he started gathering spiritual energy.

'There's only one way for us to defeat them… Taking them by surprise.'

When the enemy noticed Yuan and his small army, they stopped for a moment before resuming their movements. In their eyes, there was no way that an army of that size could possibly defeat their army with 10,000 experts.
