I Have Awakened The Deduction System

221 Lia’s Advancement

A shrill scream was heard, which scares people. “The situation is not good!” “If we continue, we’ll lose!”

Liu Tao led the Scythe Army and charged back. He was covered in blood. Liu Liuhai was beside him. Of the 2000 Scythe Army soldiers behind him, only 500 were left. They were all injured. The enemy’s weapons were really good, causing the Quanzhou Alliance Army to suffer heavy losses.

In the command center, as a general, Wan Guanglin, had a huge headache! Because the battle was not going well, the Alliance Army of the various forces suffered heavy losses, and if the battle continued, they would be greatly weakened. “Let’s retreat!” “We will defend Quanzhou City and slowly fight with them. We will wear them out!” One of the adjutants suggested, but the others quickly rejected it. “You have seen the enemy’s long-range attacks. No matter how thick the city walls of Quanzhou are, can they withstand the rumbling of artillery fire?” “Once we retreat, Quanzhou City will be in chaos. Many people will flee.”

“Then what should we do? The enemy’s weapons are better than ours, and the soldiers and manpower of the various forces are almost all used up.” Everyone was arguing. One side wanted to fight, one side wanted to retreat, and no one could out-talk the other… Finally, everyone looked at Wan Guanglin, who was sitting in the middle.

“General, you decide. We’ll listen to you!” Everyone looked at Wan Guanglin. “Continue to fight. We can’t retreat from this battle!”

“Moreover, we must win! I’ve already informed the Imperial court, and reinforcements will arrive soon!” Wan Guanglin’s voice was resolute and decisive. The cloak behind him fluttered, and he had a ruthless and unyielding temperament. It was not that he was a hero and fearless, but the Imperial court’s punishment was too frightening! It didn’t matter to his subordinates, but as the General, he would definitely be held accountable by the Imperial court.

However, no one knew the hardship Wan Guanglin felt.

They had only seen the most powerful Wan Guanglin being so confident. They couldn’t help but be shocked and said in surprise, “Could it be that General has already thought of a good strategy to defeat the enemy?!” Wan Guanglin cursed in his heart, but he didn’t know if he should say it!

He didn’t have any f*cking good plans to defeat the enemy. The only way he could think of was to wait for the Imperial court to send reinforcements quickly. Luckily, some people were stubborn and were willing to die in Quanzhou City.

Otherwise, he didn’t know what to do.

He didn’t know if the Empress had received an urgent letter from three hundred miles away and when the reinforcements would arrive!

He could only try his best to stabilize the situation. He definitely couldn’t hand over Quanzhou City to others.

Otherwise, they would be condemned by history!

Wan Guanglin felt extremely uneasy. But he still maintained a calm and composed expression.

“Everyone, it’s easy to defeat the enemy, but we must wait for an opportunity!” He smiled and said,

“What opportunity? General, do you need me to create it?” The Adjutant was immediately overjoyed and asked hurriedly. The others also looked at Wan Guanglin in excitement. “All of you are leaders of a force and experts of Xiantian ninth-rank cultivators. If you are willing to take out all your assets, these enemies should be nothing!” As soon as he said this, everyone’s expression changed, and they lowered their heads.

They were the people of Quanzhou City, but they were still unwilling to reveal everything. “What? You’re not willing? Is this not your home? If we lose this battle and Quanzhou City falls, what use would your trump cards be?” Wan Guanglin’s expression was serious as he coldly said.

“General, you may not know this. It’s not that we’re unwilling to use our own trump cards, but some things have extreme backlashes that can devour our lifespans.” The leader of a gang smiled bitterly.

“That’s right. Otherwise, we would have dominated Quanzhou City.” Someone immediately echoed. The other ninth-rank Xiantian cultivators also smiled bitterly. As for those ninth-rank Xiantian cultivators who didn’t have any trump cards, they could only be envious.

As those were items passed down by the major forces, the traveler cultivators of the pugilistic world had to rely on themselves, so they didn’t say much about their reliance. “Doesn’t the General’s family have a trump card too? I remember that the ancestor of the Wan family obtained a pair of boxing gloves back then.” One of the leaders said. In other words, as a General, shouldn’t you set an example first? Wan Guanglin naturally knew about that pair of gloves. It was currently placed in the secret room in the deepest part of the house. The boxing glove was filled with a strange red light and exuded a terrifying power, like an extremely evil item. He looked at it and felt his heart jump, so he did not dare to wear it.

…

The competition in the capital was in full swing. The top 32 had been selected, all of whom were half-step saint cultivators.

He Chuan couldn’t help sighing in his heart. He didn’t get confident because he advanced to a half-step saint cultivator. Now, it seemed that he was very wise. There were countless Masters in the world, and half-step saint cultivators were as many as the hair on an ox.

Naturally, there would be many saint cultivators.

He had to speed up and keep moving forward. He had to seize the opportunity to break through to the saint cultivator realm. Only then would he be able to go further.

“Master, I’ve advanced!” Lia waved her little fists, her face filled with excitement.

To be able to stand out among so many experts and become one of the 32 powerhouses, she was already very satisfied.

At the very least, she didn’t lost in one round.

“If I didn’t know, I would have thought that you’ve become the number one in the world. Remember my words. Never be proud of your current achievements. You still have a long way to go.” He Chuan shook his head. He didn’t even dare to stop and look at the scenery.

“Your disciple understands!” It was very difficult for Lia to receive praise because the world was not as simple as one might think.

Those who didn’t enter the saint cultivator realm were just ants.

“But you’ve already done very well. Let’s go back.” He Chuan thought for a moment and praised her in a calm tone.

“Long live, Master!” Lia had finally gained He Chuan’s approval. Although she did not know if he was being sincere, she had made some progress.

The bustling capital was bustling with people.

Lia took Cai Lian shopping while He Chuan bought two tiger dolls and returned to the palace.

If nothing went wrong, the two children would be born this year, the Year of the tiger. Therefore, He Chuan bought the tiger dolls as a gift.

In the Imperial study, Empress Changning looked at the urgent letter in her hand with a gloomy expression.

Fang Yuanqing, Qin Yuntian, and the other officials also had difficult expression on their faces.

He Chuan’s sudden appearance startled everyone present.

“Everyone, don’t worry about me. Just continue the discussion.” He Chuan placed the two tiger dolls on the table.

Empress Changning looked at the ragdoll tiger and smiled.

“The people from overseas this time have blonde hair and blue eyes. They have some characteristics of a barbarian country. It is said that they are strong and well-trained. The soldiers of our Zhou Dynasty cannot be compared with them.” Fang Yuanqing said.

The battle at Quanzhou City was truly unexpected.

Because they had never thought that someone could actually attack from the sea.

It was simply unbelievable.

The Great Zhou Dynasty had been established for so many years, but this had never happened before.

This was because their views had not kept up. They had never thought about what was at the end of the sea.

Because no one had studied these things.
