Past life sage: This life a dual cultivator
493 New assignment (3)
In the large main hall of the City Lord's Palace, General Ying Chao was already waiting when Zhan Chen reached there. "Good morning senior", Zhan Chen bowed towards Ying Chao to show his respect.
Two commanders from the Xuantian sect, Li Wei and Zhi Jiang were already waiting when Zhan Chen reached there. Third commander, Hui Guo was the last one to arrive in the main hall.
Ying Chao addressed the group after all four commanders were assembled. "The Grey Ash City appears calm now, but it is actually not the case. Before explaining our current situation, let me show you something", Ying Chao spoke. He took out a translucent globe and infused his essence energy inside it.
As Ying Chao's energy coursed through the globe, a scene materialized within it. Zhan Chen watched intently as a scene unfolded before his eyes. There was a large, swirling spatial vortex near the Yellow Stone City. From this vortex, one after another, ferocious-looking devils were stepping forth, their appearances menacing and awe-inspiring.
Each devil was distinct in their physical appearance.
Some were gargantuan, towering like moving mountains, with scales that shimmered in sinister hues. Others were leaner, their agile bodies covered in spiky armor, eyes glowing with a malevolent intelligence. Several bore massive, twisted horns on their heads, and some of their claws looked sharp enough to tear through the city walls of the Grey ash city.
The cultivation levels of these devils were indiscernible, yet their mere presence exuded a palpable sense of danger and power. The area around Yellow Stone City had become a teeming mass of these bloodthirsty devils. Their numbers had grown exponentially since the battle of the Yellow stone city, turning the region into a foresaken land for the humans.
"Commanders, do you understand our situation now?", Ying Chao looked towards Li Wei, Zhi Jiang, Hui Guo and Zhan Chen.
"There number is unbelievable. I could have never imagined it if you don't take out a Mirror orb to show us", third commander Hui Guo spoke. His expression was solemn after he saw the recording of the mirror globe.
"Our Northern desert continent is completely outnumbered this time. The worst is there number is increasing by every passing moment", first commander Li Wei spoke.
"Commander Wei, you are right. Our situation is only getting worst, the more we are delaying this battle", Ying Chao spoke.
"Therefore, the Sky dragon alliance has decided to deal with the devils as soon as possible. Each general are assigned with two responsibilities. The foremost responsibility is to guard the base. It is a given that we will protect our base in the Grey ash city. So, there is no need to discuss about it at this moment.
The other responsibilitity is to charge though the enemy line and establish forward bases. If we are able to do so, we will be awarded with various rewards.
The Sky dragon alliance has come up with kill points to encourage every cultivator. Each kill of a devil will be recorded by the specially crafted token. So, there is proportionate reward compared to potential danger", he further added.
"Tokens that can record kill points?", Zhan Chen looked towards Ying Chao curiously. He knew about some special trials where every kill could be counted but to count every cultivators' kill in the Northern desert continent was something unheard of. He didn't know, how the Sky dragon alliance had come up with such tokens.
"Yes, it feels unbelievable but Sky dragon alliance has really come up with such tokens. It can only be possible due to the Spirit palace's assistance", Ying Chao spoke.
"Bring in the tokens for the commanders", Ying Chao sent a voice transmission to an elder waiting outside.
Soon, two Martial ascension realm female disciples entered the main hall. Both of them were carrying two decorated silver plates with their hands. What attracted the attention of the four commanders were the tokens lying on those silver plates.
The tokens were intricately designed with metalic bodies. There was a bluish luster coming from the intricately carved tokens which were adding to their artistic appeal.
Zhan Chen examined the token in his hand after receiving it from a female disciple. A look of understanding appeared on his face after he examined the token with his soul consciousness.
'So, this is the case. Each token is branded with a spirit mark. This spirit mark has the distinct aura of the Sky tower. With the means of the Sky tower, it is possible that it's treasure spirit will be able to keep tab on each and every cultivator who has a token', Zhan Chen thought to himself.
Sky tower was the supreme treasure of the Spirit palace. It was very mysterious as no body able to fathom it's limit since it came into existence. Zhan Chen had already entered Sky tower and participated in its trials. He was very much aware how resourceful and mysterious, the Sky tower actually was. So, he immediately understood the trick behind the tokens after noticing the spirit mark of the Sky tower inside it.
"The Sky dragon alliance has already sent tokens for every cultivators. Later, please send the captains and the squard leaders to collect them. We will note down their names and assigned ranks.
Squard leaders are required to provide the name of squard members underneath them", Ying Chao spoke.
"General, shall we send them now?", Lu Wei asked.
"You can send them later. Let us discuss about your missions first", Ying Chao replied as he looked towards Li Wei, Zhi Jiang, Hui Guo and Zhan Chen.
"Zhi Jiang, I want you to guard the Grey ash city. I hope you will accept this burden", Ying Chao looked towards the second commander, Zhi Jiang.
"You can leave it to me. It will be best for my old bones to be stationed inside the base", Zhi Jiang spoke.
"Li Wei, Hui Guo, I want you to lead our attacks. Coordinate with eachother and push back the enemy line towards the Yellow stone city. There is no need to be anxious about the result. Retreat if the situation demands. One of our esteemed emperors will watch your back. So, you do not need to worry about the emperor realm experts from devils' side", Ying Chao spoke.
"Is the mission acceptable to both of you?", he looked towards first commander Li Wei and third commander Hui Guo.
"General Chao, you really know me well. Nothing is more appetizing than a wholesome battle. I will definitely not disappoint you in this mission", Hui Guo spoke with a delighted expression. His eyes were blazing with battle intent after he heard Ying Chao's words.
"I will accompany brother Guo", Lu Wei spoke. Ying Chao smiled slightly after he saw Lu Wei and Hui Guo readily accepting his decision. After assigning missions to Lu Wei, Zhi Jiang and Hui Guo, Ying Chao looked towards Zhan Chen. Other three commanders also looked towards Zhan Chen and Ying Chao as they were curious about Zhan Chen's mission.
"Zhan Chen, as for you, I don't have any specific mission in my mind. You can do as you please but no matter what you do, don't go too far from commander Wei and commander Guo. You have to assist them if they are in a disadvantage in the upcoming battles.
You also need to maintain kill points like other commanders. I will be questioned about my decision if your result is lacking compared to other commanders", Ying Chao spoke.
