In truth, according to this battle report, if the Martial Scholars had united—it wouldn't have even taken all of them, just fifty or sixty working together—they could have completely tied down Tenglong Stronghold's top experts.
They might even have had a chance at victory.
But they were a disorganized mess, and were instead picked off one by one, suffering considerable casualties.
In fact, even now, quite a few Martial Scholars are still trapped in Boundary Mountain.
Only a small fraction managed to break out of Boundary Mountain and escape.
"Mansion Master, the people outside are clamoring to see you and causing a huge scene. Lord Sun can barely hold them back," an official reported, hurrying into the room.
"So they're already getting antsy. These are the same people who were secretly cozying up to the Blood Dragon Platform, allowing Tenglong Stronghold to grow so powerful. Now they're the ones in a panic. Hmph. Ignore them. Let them stew for another two days."
