Chapter 686: An Invisible Army

Translator: Reverie_  Editor: Henyee

At night, under Zhang Xiao Lin’s guidance, a raid team composed of over three hundred people set out towards Na Lan Tian Huang’s camp stealthily, preparing to carry out a slaughter.

Although there weren’t many people in this team, their foundation was Spiritual Infant Tier, on top of over ten Deity Transformation Tier and Heaven Tier elites, with even a Shattering Void Tier elite leading it. It could be said to be extremely powerful, enough to destroy any force other than the five great ancient sects.

No matter what everyone thought, even if Na Lan Tian Huang was long prepared, facing such a powerful team, his army’s heavy casualties would be certain at least. Even if not, the raid team could still return in one piece.

However, when the dawn of the early morning appeared, Zhang Xiao Lin brought two Heaven Tier elites back in disarray into the city. Each one of them was ashen, and even had a sort of terror of being frightened to the bones.

They didn’t say a single word and went to their respective quarters, but in only half a day, a military order was issued for everyone to immediately retreat.

What sort of situation was this, only fighting a sneak attack battle and running off now?

But an order was issued by a Shattering Void Tier commander, so who dared to question, and who dared to object?

Instantly, the troop of ten thousand withdrew from the city, and retreated towards the expanse beyond the frontlines. While on the path of retreat, the truth of the matter on the sneak attack last night finally came to light.

One of the two Heaven Tier elites that survived had told his descendant, and this descendant just so happened to be a person that didn’t have tightly sealed lips; so, one person told ten people, ten people told a hundred people, and then everyone knew.

Last night, after the raid team entered the enemy’s camp, they were caught in an ambuscade.

Na Lan Tian Huang had long sent troops to wait for them, so this wasn’t a sneak attack, but rather a long-prepared-for fight in close quarters.

Zhang Xiao Lin sent out at least three hundred elites of the Spiritual Infant Tier, with the addition of a Shattering Void Tier leader. In contrast, on Na Lan Tian Huan’s side, they sent a ten thousand people in formation, but their strength on a whole wasn’t anything great. The strongest elite was only in the Spiritual Pedestal Tier, and the majority was only spiritual Ocean Tier warriors, while Na Lan Tian Huang actually wasn’t even the one providing support—the tenth-tier beast was.

No matter how it looked, Zhang Xiao Lin’s side should’ve had the absolute advantage, casting the beast aside. Any random Spiritual Infant Tier sent out could sweep away this ten thousand people’s formation, a matter as easy as the turn of the palm.

However, once the fight began, it wasn’t what happened at all.

The ten thousand people square array seemed to be on stimulants and had extremely terrifying battle prowess, effortlessly defeating the raid team. Zhang Xiao Lin was also blocked by the beast, and actually was at a disadvantage.

Fighting for only less than half a day, the raid team was almost completely wiped out. Zhang Xiao Lin saw that things were far from good, and barely rescued two Heaven Tier elites, escaping back to the city.

According to that Heaven Tier elite’s conjecture after the event, the ten thousand people unit used some sort of array to combine their strength together, and even received an extremely great boost so as to rival Heaven Tier.
