Black World, Blue Tyrant Academy.
Listening to the incompetent rage of the broken Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, Ning Rongrong and Zhuqing were simply speechless.
Seriously!
Is it really that hard to accept the reality that they are inferior to others?!
Regarding the stubbornness and self-importance of the master-disciple duo Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, they really found it hard to keep a straight face.
In the comparison video, Tang Chuan is clearly a general leading an army, and being able to propose the Fubing System shows that he definitely has research into military affairs.
So, isn't it perfectly normal for him to be able to devise such strategies?
Therefore, seeing Yu Xiaogang and Tang San both looking red-eyed and panting like oxen, completely unwilling to believe that all of this was planned by Tang Chuan, and insisting that this was a plan given to Tang Chuan by a strategist under Marshal Ge Long, it was truly speechlessly frustrating!
The comparison video continued to play.
[After Zhenhu Pass was captured.]
[Tang Chuan rode a warhorse, and under the protection of the elite Spirit Masters of the Qingdi Sect, slowly stepped into the open gates of Zhenhu Pass.]
[Glancing at the Balak Kingdom flag that had been torn down from the city tower, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Tang Chuan's mouth as he gave orders.]
["Pass down the order: treat the prisoners well, and do not disturb the civilians."]
["Additionally, bring that defending general over."]
[Soon, the defending general of Zhenhu Pass was brought before Tang Chuan, trembling all over, his face ashen.]
[However, Tang Chuan did not order his execution. Instead, he summoned his Blue Silver Emperor Spirit and activated his Eighth Spirit Ability: Parasitic Domination, creating a Dominating Seed and directly planting it inside the defending general's body.]
["My Dominating Seed has already been planted within your body; from now on, your life is in my hands."]
["I will not kill you, but the premise is that you must properly follow my orders."]
[Tang Chuan said indifferently.]
[Feeling the Dominating Seed within his body, the defending general gave a few bitter laughs and accepted reality.]
["What is your name?"]
[Tang Chuan asked.]
["This subordinate... Zhou Hu."]
[The defending general restrained his inner bitterness and unwillingness, and said respectfully.]
["Zhou Hu, you are to take a squad of "personal guards" now, pretend to have broken out from the siege of Zhenhu Pass, and head to Weinan Pass and Tiemen Pass to report the news."]
["Just say that although Zhenhu Pass has fallen, you fought to the death to break out of the encirclement, and that Tang Chuan's main force is currently resting at Zhenhu Pass and will not continue to attack in the short term."]
["Tell the defending generals of those two passes to hold firm and wait for further instructions from the Royal City."]
["This subordinate obeys!"]
[Zhou Hu took a deep breath, cupped his fists without hesitation, turned around, and left Zhenhu Pass with a squad of "personal guards," galloping toward the direction of Weinan Pass.]
[Several days later.]
[Upon seeing the "escaped from death" Zhou Hu, the defending generals of Weinan Pass and Tiemen Pass did not harbor much suspicion.]
[Zhou Hu had been the defending general of Zhenhu Pass for many years; his identity could not be fake, so the intelligence he brought was naturally credible.]
[The defending generals of both passes believed that Tang Chuan's main force would temporarily stay at Zhenhu Pass to rest and would not continue to advance in the short term, so they relaxed their vigilance.]
[But that very night.]
[Riots broke out simultaneously inside Weinan Pass and Tiemen Pass.]
[The elite of the Qingdi Sect, who had long been lurking inside the passes, launched a surprise attack under the cover of night.]
[Meanwhile, Zhou Hu took advantage of the chaos to open the gates of Weinan Pass, letting in Dugu Bo's army that had been lying in ambush outside.]
[As for Tiemen Pass, Shui Wuhen used a similar method, having a small squad of elites scale the city walls to dismantle the resistance of the defenders from the inside.]
[Overnight.]
[The other three major passes on the southern border of the Balak Kingdom—Weinan Pass, Tiemen Pass, and Lima Pass—all changed flags!]
[Thus, the main passes on the southern border of the Balak Kingdom had all fallen into Tang Chuan's hands.]
[The land connection between the Balak Kingdom and the Spirit Empire was completely severed.]
Upon seeing this, the Black and White Worlds were shocked once again.
For a moment, they simply couldn't believe that Tang Chuan had managed to capture several more passes without shedding blood.
In the previous comparison video of the Black World, the fact that Tang San could guess that Spirit Hall might intercept the grain route was already enough to make people marvel.
But unexpectedly, compared to that Tang San, this Tang Chuan was stronger by an unknown number of times!
Not only did he seem to have anticipated the reinforcements coming from other passes, but he also successfully used their uniforms to disguise his identity and capture Zhenhu Pass.
Now, he had even used the Zhenhu Pass defending general, Zhou Hu, to capture several other passes without a single drop of blood.
This series of strategies was something they didn't even dare to imagine.
Just how is this Tang Chuan's brain wired?!
[But Tang Chuan's offensive did not stop there.]
[Not long after capturing Zhenhu Pass, Tang Chuan received a message from his scouts.]
[The Balak Royal Knights, numbering about 15,000, were heading south at full speed from the direction of the Royal City, attempting to retake Zhenhu Pass.]
[This knight regiment was the most elite force of the Balak Kingdom, well-equipped and well-trained, and was Xue Hansong's last trump card.]
[After reading the intelligence, Tang Chuan narrowed his eyes, smiled, and immediately gave the order.]
["Have Elder Dugu and Elder Shui take the ambush troops and set an ambush at Qingshi Valley; I will go personally to meet this Royal Knight regiment."]
[Qingshi Valley, located about eighty miles north of Zhenhu Pass, was a region of rolling low hills. The main road passed between two hills, with dense forests and shrubbery on both sides, making it an ideal ambush location.]
[When the Balak Royal Knights marched majestically into Qingshi Valley, what greeted them was an unprecedented living hell.]
[Tang Chuan stood on the peak of a hill at the entrance of Qingshi Valley, looking down at the cavalry troop that stretched for several miles below, his mind stirring.]
[The next moment, a dazzling blue-silver light burst forth, and his Blue Silver Emperor Spirit, like an ancient towering tree, emerged from behind him.]
[Under Tang Chuan's feet, nine spirit rings—four black and five red—rose one after another, circling his body and lighting up continuously.]
[Amidst waves of intense spirit power fluctuations, a series of Spirit Abilities were activated one after another.]
["Seventh Spirit Ability: Blue Silver Emperor Avatar!"]
["First Spirit Ability: Eternal Evergreen!"]
["Second Spirit Ability: Parasitic Seed!"]
[...]
["Ninth Spirit Ability: Infinite Growth!"]
[In an instant, towering Blue Silver Emperor trees, each over several hundred meters tall and as brilliant as blue crystal, rose from the ground at the entrance of Qingshi Valley, growing and spreading wildly.]
[Countless giant blue crystal vines extended in all directions like living creatures, sealing off the entire main road in the blink of an eye.]
[Immediately after, those vines intertwined in the air, transforming into Blue Silver Wood Dragons hundreds of meters long, baring fangs and brandishing claws as they pounced toward the knight regiment below!]
[At the same time, on the hills on both sides, the ambush troops led by Dugu Bo and Shui Wuhen launched their attack simultaneously.]
[Dozens of cannons fired from the high ground, pouring dense shells into the ranks of the knight regiment.]
[Countless shrapnel grenades fell like hail, exploding one after another among the crowd.]
[The sound of flintlock muskets firing rang out one after another, with each volley claiming hundreds of lives.]
[The Balak Royal Knights, this elite force known as the strongest power of the Balak Kingdom, under the strangulation of the Blue Silver Wood Dragons, the bombardment of cannons, the explosions of grenades, and the fire of flintlock muskets, could not even organize a proper charge before completely collapsing in less than an hour.]
[Of the 15,000-strong knight regiment, over 13,000 were killed or injured, and the remaining two thousand or so either surrendered or scattered.]
[When the last knight resisting stubbornly was crushed by a Blue Silver Wood Dragon, Tang Chuan stood on the hill, looking at the battlefield below littered with corpses, his expression calm. He simply retracted his Blue Silver Emperor Spirit slowly, turned around, and said to the messenger beside him.]
["Pass down the order: clean up the battlefield and gather the prisoners."]
["After three days of rest, advance to the Balak Royal City!"]
