Death… and me

Chapter 1284: Praise

What was a war? It's a gathering of lots of average cultivators. Roan could almost jump an entire realm to fight geniuses of the Sacred Land in Huring Continent. Since that was the case, how much stronger was he against average cultivators? Roan's plan was very simple. He would be targetting Elemental Transformation Realm enemies once after another and earn as many points as possible. He was that confident.

Even if he found someone too hard to deal with, he would be in the middle of a battlefield with many more cultivators. He had absolute confidence about being able to run away. However, wars of these types were usually conducted between similarly level cultivators. With that said, except for captains like Tixa, the rest of the cultivators in the regiments would all be at the Soul Transformation, Saint, or Elemental Transformation Realm. The captains wouldn't be able to go out of their way just to deal with Roan alone. Even if they did, Tixa would intercept them as she couldn't allow a Transition Realm enemy to rampage inside her regiment.

That was all Roan wanted. Kill a ton of Elemental Transformation Realm cultivators and gain thousands of War Points with each attack. He didn't have time to care about the rest as it wouldn't give him any extra War Points.

Tixa narrowed her eyes after hearing that. "This is an order. If you refuse, you won't get a single point. I can guarantee you that." This was the army, after all. Rules had to be followed.

Roan pondered in silence for a bit before saying, "I will warn you. This is a very bad idea. If they follow me on the battlefield, they will find themselves amidst a lot of enemies. Are you okay with that?"

"Why would you throw yourself in the middle of the battlefield? Are you trying to commit suicide?" That was obviously the question in Tixa and everyone's heads.

Roan denied that. "No. It's just that I'm confident of getting many more kills like that. However, I won't focus on protecting my group at all, only my life. I told you. I'm only here for the War Points. However, if you still want them to follow me, then so be it."

Tixa nodded after hearing that. "Very well. From now on, you will lose ten War Points for each member of your group that dies. Now then, go back and prepare. You will have 49 people under your command, 50 with you. Let's see if you'll let them die that easily."

Little did Tixa know that Roan was cackling in his mind. Ten points? He would be earning thousands with each attack. So what if 50 of his companions died in the process? He didn't know them, and most were evil path cultivators anyway. Nevertheless, it was obvious from the looks of the others that they didn't like Roan at all. Besides, no one wanted to be with him.

Tixa didn't care, though. Since she had decided that, that's how it would go. She also organized many other group leaders. All of them were obviously under her command. On the same day, she received her orders as well.

Tixa immediately called everyone out. "Listen up! We're joining the battle! Let's go!" She didn't say where they were going, though. The idea of her type of group was to ambush the enemies, so information couldn't be leaked. Her over three thousand cultivators would only find about their target when they were already getting close to it.

Roan and everyone else took a teleport formation that sent them directly behind the battlefield. They didn't join, though. Tixa completely ignored the hundreds of thousands of cultivators clashing there and brought her Division  to the side. It turns out that the battlefield they had just seen wasn't the one they were aiming at.

The sound of battle fell behind as they moved away. That situation continued as nothing could be heard anymore. For an entire day, Roan and everyone else followed Tixa and didn't find a single enemy. Well… not really. Every now and then, Tixa's trusted subordinates would move ahead and then come back with a head or two. Those were scouts that she got rid of so that the Division  wouldn't be found.

Roan mentally nodded the more he saw it. Tixa was obviously very experienced in moving a big group without being detected. She took the most concealing paths, even though they increased the distance or their journey. It was all for the sake of keeping her Division  hidden. Roan did have one or two things he would do differently, but it wasn't as if she was wrong either.

Around two days later, the sound of battles began to reach everyone's ears once again. Tixa then contacted everyone through her Divine Sense, saying, 'Listen up, we are joining the 165th battlefield, and we'll appear at the left wing of the enemy's army. Our objective is to pierce through and take as many heads as possible. To help with the hidden attack, the captains of the regiments and Divisions on the right wing of our allied forces will launch a stronger offensive. That will force the enemy to focus on holding them back, and that will be our chance.'

With that being said, Roan's group was able to see the battlefield in the distance. Just like the others, this battlefield also had hundreds of thousands of cultivators on both sides. It gave the impression that a small Division  like Tixa, with a group that only had a little over 3500 cultivators, wouldn't be able to do much. However, Roan knew better. 

As he looked at the fight in the distance, he couldn't help but praise Tixa's guiding abilities. "That's one of the Jesvo Alliance's armies. We will be able to strike the heart of the defense of their forces if we come out from this position. We will be charging through the cultivators with spears, who are preparing to flank our Vigal Army's right wing. They have a huge offensive force but paper-thin defense. Once they leave their position, it'll also cause a temporary gap to appear. As long as we time it correctly, we'll have the chance to collapse their defense completely, giving our Vigal Army the chance to snowball its effects."

As one of the group leaders, Roan was obviously at the front with Tixa, so she heard his words and was surprised he noticed her plan this quickly. "It seems like concealment isn't your only strength, huh?"
