Chapter 399 - The monster from Saint Spirit Village has crossed the border, the brutal demon is marching toward the royal city...

Black World, Blue Tyrant Academy.

When they saw the bullet chat sent by Seventh Elder Tang Lie on the comparison heavenly screen.

Those continuous insults of "trash" and "useless" made Yu Xiaogang's face instantly flush red as he clenched his fists.

He felt nothing but shame and humiliation in his heart, yet he was completely unable to refute it.

Because previously, he could choose not to admit it.

But now, the comparison heavenly screen had proven it with facts.

Whether in cultivation talent and capability, or in intellect and military strategy.

Tang Chuan was countless times stronger than him!

This filled Yu Xiaogang with absolute despair and frustration.

Was he, Yu Xiaogang, truly completely useless?

Beside him, Tang San's face was also livid, the veins on his forehead throbbing. Feeling both ashamed and furious, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and roar aloud.

"That damn Seventh Elder Tang Lie, him again!!"

"How am I ungrateful and heartless?"

"This is nothing but blatant slander and rumors!!"

"As for Grandpa Old Jack, I just haven't had the chance to repay him yet!"

"And on the Endless Ocean, faced with Jixiang who saved my life, I not only gave him a Ten-thousand-year Ginseng King but also taught him the Mysterious Heaven Skill, allowing him to become a Spirit Master."

"Is this still not enough to prove that I, Tang San, repay my debts of gratitude?"

Hearing Tang San's words, the people around him remained silent, instead exchanging uneasy glances.

Especially Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, who were both secretly critical in their hearts.

Because although what Tang San said was indeed the truth.

He was speaking completely selectively.

After all, even putting Old Jack aside.

There were still Dugu Bo, Tang Yuehua, and Bai He!

They had also helped Tang San.

Yet the result was that Tang San plucked every single Immortal Herb and Spirit Medicine from Dugu Bo's Medicinal Garden, without leaving even one for Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.

As for Tang Yuehua, there was likewise no repayment whatsoever.

Bai He had even gifted him his clan's ultimate treasure, the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, intending for Tang San to use it to recruit Yang Wudi.

Yet even though Tang San clearly had other Immortal Herbs in his hands, he neither refused nor chose to return even a single Immortal Herb in exchange.

If it were only Tang San doing this, one couldn't say much.

But the key was that the comparison heavenly screen had also broadcasted Tang Chuan's comparison video for comparison.

It could only be said that everything suffers by comparison!

Compared to how Tang San repaid Old Jack, Dugu Bo, Tang Xiao, Tang Yuehua, and Bai He.

Tang San appeared to be truly far too ungrateful and heartless!!

On the comparison heavenly screen.

After Tang Xiao of the Black World sent a bullet chat furiously blasting Tang San and starting the verbal crusade.

Dai Tianfeng and others who loathed Tang San and were qualified to send bullet chats also joined in, sending bullet chats to mock Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, and Liu Erlong.

White World, Tianshui Academy.

"I knew it! Male God Tang Chuan is flawless, and he is an unparalleled Genius even in military strategy!"

"Tang San and Yu Xiaogang aren't even worthy of carrying Male God Tang Chuan's shoes!"

Hearing the conversation between Tang Chuan and the messenger in the comparison video.

Shui Yue'er couldn't help but put her hands on her hips, her exquisite and cute face filled with pride and self-satisfaction.

Beside her, Shui Bing'er, as well as Yu Hairou, Qiu Ruoshui, Gu Qingbo, and the other girls, all had eyes filled with wonder, admiration, and adoration.

They felt that Tang Chuan was simply too incredible!

Not only was his character solid, but his cultivation talent was outstanding and his brilliance exceptional.

Now, who would have thought he would be so outstanding in military strategy as well!

The comparison video continued to play.

[After leaving Shui Wuhen and Dugu Bo to lead a portion of the army to guard the newly captured pass.]

[Tang Chuan personally led the elite Spirit Masters of the Qingdi Sect, the garrison forces of the three major territories including the Blue Silver Count Territory, and the garrison forces of the Fasno Province, totaling over twenty thousand men, marching majestically straight toward the Barak Royal City.]

[The army marched north, their banners blotting out the sun, and the sound of horses' hooves shaking the heavens.]

[The towns and villages along the way surrendered at the mere sight of them, meeting almost no decent resistance.]

[Inside the palace of Barak Royal City.]

[Upon receiving the news that Zhenhu Pass had fallen and the Royal Knights were completely wiped out.]

[Xue Hansong felt as if his spine had been ripped out; he slumped onto his throne, his face as pale as paper.]

[No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't understand.]

[How could all the major passes on the southern border of the Balak Kingdom be lost within just a few short days?]

[That fifteen-thousand-strong Royal Knights was the most elite force of the Balak Kingdom!]

[How did they get completely wiped out without even holding out for a single day?!]

[Reality did not give him much time for grief and shock.]

[Immediately after, urgent reports flew in one after another like snowflakes.]

["Report! The monster from Saint Spirit Village has led the Heaven Dou invading army across the border and is advancing north!"]

["Report! The brutal Blue Silver Demon has led the Heaven Dou invading army to the banks of the Balak River and is building a pontoon bridge!"]

["Report! The defenders of Linjiang City surrendered without a fight, and the despicable invaders have entered Suotuo Province!"]

["Report! Tang Chuan has led the Heaven Dou army to occupy Suotuo City, and their spearhead is pointing directly at our Barak Royal City!"]

[Each urgent report was like a heavy hammer, smashing ruthlessly against Xue Hansong's chest.]

[Finally, Xue Hansong sprang up from his slumped position like a trapped beast driven into a corner. He paced back and forth in the palace, his voice becoming sharp and piercing with fear.]

["Quick! Send for help from Spirit City immediately! Say that Tang Chuan is personally leading an army to attack Balak, and request the Spirit Empire to send reinforcements posthaste!"]

["In addition, pass down the order to mobilize all the city defense forces in the royal city and the private troops of the major nobles to intercept Tang Chuan!"]

["We must hold out until the reinforcements of the Spirit Empire arrive! Go, quickly!!"]

[Under Xue Hansong's command.]

[The remaining military forces of Barak Royal City and its surrounding areas were urgently mobilized.]

[City defense forces, private noble armies, and even some mercenary guards hired by merchant guilds were hastily organized into an army, sent to the south batch after batch in an attempt to delay Tang Chuan's advance.]

[But all of this was in vain.]

[In the face of an absolute disparity in strength, no matter how many people there were, it would only increase casualties.]

[The first intercepting force was an allied private army from three noble families around the royal city, numbering about four thousand men.]

[They formed up on a plain about a hundred and twenty li south of the royal city, attempting to block the Heaven Dou army's path.]

[Tang Chuan did not even make a move himself. He merely had his garrison army's musket regiment form up, and with three volleys plus a round of grenade tosses, they utterly routed the four thousand noble private troops, who fled in panic after leaving behind several hundred corpses.]

[The second intercepting force was the main city defense force of Barak Royal City, numbering about eight thousand men.]

[This army's equipment and training level were slightly better than those of the noble private troops, but it was only "slightly better."]

[This city defense force had a bit of brains; they chose to rely on the walls and buildings of a small town for defense, trying to delay the Heaven Dou army's advance.]

[Tang Chuan still did not make a move, only having the artillery battalion push up ten cannons and fire two rounds of bombardment at the small town.]

[Those walls built of wood and bluestone were like paper in front of the cannons.]

[After two rounds of bombardment, the defenders inside the town completely collapsed, scrambling to abandon the town and flee.]

[The third intercepting force was the last decent-looking army that Xue Hansong had managed to scrape together with great difficulty.]

[It was composed of the royal city's reserve knights, remnants of several noble private armies, and temporarily conscripted militia, totaling about twelve thousand men.]

[The commander of this army was somewhat intelligent. Instead of choosing to face the Heaven Dou army head-on on the plains, he occupied a strategically dangerous mountain pass, attempting to delay the Heaven Dou army's advance by relying on the terrain.]

[This time, Tang Chuan finally personally made his move.]

[But not because this army was difficult to deal with.]

[Rather, it was because he sensed several quite familiar and highly powerful auras within the enemy camp.]

[Those were several Spirit Master Sects and families that had submitted to the Spirit Empire, coming to support the Balak Kingdom under the orders of Spirit Hall.]

[Among them, the most representative was the former Dragon Snake Family, now the Dragon Snake Sect.]
