Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort novel Chapter 913

Chapter 913: Chapter 348: First Battle Might! (First Update)

The bustling Luoxing City has become much quieter. In the streets and alleys, shops are tightly closed, and women, children, and the elderly remain at home, not venturing out for leisurely walks.

The atmosphere appears somewhat tense.

In the Middle Ancient Realm, large-scale battles are rare. The reason is, here the entities are singular families, rather than nations. Therefore, battles between families, no matter how fierce, are confined to a limited range.

Like now, with the Divine Hall deploying one hundred thousand troops from the Central Continent to attack the city in the West Continent, it is unprecedented.

Mu Qingge, clad in strong armor, stands on the city wall with her hands behind her back, gazing into the distant path.

The Dragon Tooth Guards have dispatched scouts to constantly monitor the movements of the Divine Hall’s hundred thousand troops. The last report indicated that the Divine Hall’s forces were only ten li away from the base of Luoxing City.

On the city wall, the Dragon Hidden Army, trained by Mu Qingge, along with other military forces, are already prepared for battle.

From Mu Qingge’s Dragon Tooth Guards, three hundred men have been sent to Linchuan to protect her family, while the remaining two hundred are under Mo Yang’s command, to be deployed dynamically. Remaining by her side are the three hundred members brought by Mu Chen, forming the Dragon Feather Guards.

Altogether, the troops in Luoxing City do not exceed thirty thousand. The support from the Sang Family and the Alchemy Institute only adds up to ten thousand people. Facing the Divine Hall’s one hundred thousand troops, most who have not experienced war and who have not witnessed Mu Qingge’s command are still feeling a bit uneasy.

"Qingge." Xi Qianxue approaches the city wall, stepping behind Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge turns around and catches sight of Xi Qianxue, as well as Ji Yaohua, Yao Xinghai, Ying Ze, and Wei Molili walking behind her.

She smiles and asks, "The war hasn’t started yet, why have you all come?"

These four are all wearing defensive armor crafted by the Sang Family. Mu Qingge’s gaze sweeps over a small mark on the armor and she knows these armors are the work of Mu Xuewu.

Judging by their stance, they are all ready for battle.

Yao Xinghai laughs, "We’ve come to learn a thing or two from you, lest a skirmish breaks out and we don’t know what to do. We have experience in single combat, but as for warfare... Oh, by the way, Mei Zizhong and Zhao Nanxing are your old acquaintances, right?"

Upon hearing Yao Xinghai mention the four friends studying at the Alchemy Institute, Mu Qingge raises her eyebrows and nods slightly.

Yao Xinghai continues, "Those four initially wanted to come as well but have reached a critical breakthrough point, so their master told them to wait until they broke through before coming."

Mu Qingge nods, "Yes, cultivation is important and must not be delayed."

The Pill Masters brought by Yao Xinghai are arranged by Mu Qingge to handle the wounded in logistics. The Artifact Refiners brought by Mu Xuewu are busy at the rear, continuously refining weapons to replace those damaged in the battle.

Mu Qingge could have done these two tasks herself, but with these forces sharing the burden, she becomes much more relaxed, focusing solely on commanding the battle.

The two Supreme Elders from the Sang Family and some Protectors from the Alchemy Institute brought by Yao Xinghai are assigned by Mu Qingge. The five of them, however, have not been arranged.

"We are here to ask what we can do," Ying Ze speaks up.

Mu Qingge’s gaze sweeps over them, smiling, "Just stay by my side and be ready for orders at any time." These individuals have great personal cultivation but have never led troops, so no matter how good the relationship, she won’t let them take command.

"Qingge, I’d like to discuss something with you." Xi Qianxue opens up.

Mu Qingge looks at her. She says, "It’s despicable that the Divine Hall falsely accuses you of abducting me to start the war. I want to clarify to everyone once the Divine Hall’s army arrives that I wasn’t kidnapped by you but came willingly, and to reveal the true face of the Divine Hall to the public."

"As you mentioned, this is merely an excuse of the Divine Hall. Whether you say it or not, the battle today won’t change. Besides, even if you do clarify, given the Divine Hall’s usual behavior, they might claim your mind is bewitched and your words aren’t true. Furthermore, if you express your stance, what about the Xi Family? Don’t forget, the Xi Family is still based in Sky City. So, speaking out might be worse than saying nothing," Mu Qingge explains.

"But..." Xi Qianxue furrows her brow.

"Qingge makes sense, explaining now is futile and only gives the Divine Hall more excuses. It’s better to wait until after this battle to discuss it," Ji Yaohua advises Xi Qianxue.

Xi Qianxue turns to look at him, hesitating in her eyes.

Mu Qingge speaks again, "It’s not the right time to clarify things now; let’s discuss it after this battle ends."

Xi Qianxue reluctantly nods and agrees.

However, she makes a request to Mu Qingge, "Please allow me to join the battle too."

Mu Qingge glances at her and sees the urgency in her eyes, saying, "Stay by my side and follow orders." Keeping Xi Qianxue close is meant to prevent further refusal and stop her from overthinking. However, she won’t actually allow her into the battlefield, at least not now.

After all, she is still regarded in the public’s eye as the Goddess of the Divine Hall.

...

Ten li is not too far for ordinary people, let alone for cultivators?

Almost immediately after a few exchanges, afar on the path outside Luoxing City, dusty clouds and the sound of footsteps of the one hundred thousand troops arise.

The soldiers on the watchtower use the ’Thousand-mile Eye’ crafted by Mu Qingge to look ahead and promptly report to Mu Qingge, "City Lord, the Divine Hall’s one hundred thousand troops have arrived."
