Chapter 514: Chapter 111: Unworthy
“There’s a gap, there’s a gap in the vines here!”
“Charge now!”
“This is our last chance at life—if you don’t charge now, stay here and wait for death!!”
The cultivators from the Barbarian Demon Camp saw a flaw in the cage of vines and immediately seized the opportunity to sprint with all their might.
They unleashed all kinds of magic artifacts and talismans. If they didn’t fight with everything they had now, what was the point of holding onto these items? To let the enemy take them as spoils of war after the battle was over?
Beneath the cover of the blue vines, the cultivators from the Barbarian Demon Camp charged out of the vine hell and were reborn, all wildly ecstatic.
“Where do you think you’re running to?”
“Hahaha, die, all of you!”
Several Golden Core Cultivators from Thousand Peak Forest pursued to kill at this moment. There were members of the Human Clan, Barbarian Clan, and Demon Cultivators.
The two leading them were none other than the Golden Core Barbarians accompanying the High Priest with the poison belly.

One was called Diao Ye, and the other was named Wulan.
Diao Ye’s skin was dark red all over, his face fiendish-like, and from time to time, he would make a move to cause his targeted cultivators to explode. In an instant, the poisonous rot splattered, corroding those around him, leading to a series of agonized cries.
Wulan wielded a poisonous sting spear, blowing out colorful poisonous smoke, continuously poisoning the soldiers of the Barbarian Demon Camp.
“Run, run faster! Hahaha.” He let out a jeering, cruel laugh.
Hundreds of cultivators from the Barbarian Demon Camp fled in panic, their will to fight gone, chased down by a few Golden Core cultivators all the way to White Jade Camp.
White Jade Camp.
The atmosphere in the tent was solemn and tense.
From time to time, messengers would report back the surrounding enemy situation.
Shuangjing, who came from a noble family, had very little experience on the battlefield.
He was a Qi Refiner, not a Body Cultivator, and he knew even less about military art. His leading of a camp this time was mainly due to his family’s influence.
He himself also wanted to build his service record to improve his official rank, making it convenient to use the national power to aid his cultivation.
The Barbarian Demon Camp was attacked, and the first piece of news that reached Shuangjing was a rescue letter from Xu Dali.
The Deputy General immediately advised: “Lord Shuangjing, this is the rearguard of the main force. If the enemy can ambush here, their troops must not be large in number, and it’s very likely a small squad of Golden Core and Nascent Soul Cultivators.”
“The Barbarian Demon Camp was attacked, and no large number of cultivators were seen, only wolf packs, which further supports this speculation.”
“We can immediately organize the army and go to support them. Even if we cannot injure individual strong enemies, we can still gain merit through rescuing our allies.”
Shuangjing then asked: “But if the enemy is too strong, won’t we be going there to die?”
The Deputy General replied: “Lord Shuangjing, this is the rearguard of our main force. The enemy is certainly not an army, their numbers are sparse, and without national power backing them, even if they are Nascent Soul True Immortals, they are but scattered fighters and surely cannot last.”
The Deputy General lowered his voice and sped up his speech: “To use a batch of Foundation Establishment or even Golden Core Cultivators in exchange for putting Nascent Soul Level Cultivators under the pressure of our national might, reducing their combat power, is a profitable deal! It will surely benefit our nation’s campaign against the Thousand Peak Forest on the grand scale.”
Shuangjing understood: “That is to say, there is still considerable risk. If the Nascent Soul True Immortals of the enemy side disregard the backlash of their national power and forcefully take action, our army could also be in danger of collapse.”
The Deputy General was taken aback: “Lord, if that’s the case, our staying here is of little significance, as we would still be attacked by the Nascent Soul True Immortals. Besides, you, Lord, are a Nascent Soul Cultivator, if anything goes awry, you can think of retreating, and it is unlikely anyone could stop you.”
Shuangjing nodded and then shook his head.
The Deputy General was right, Shuangjing’s choice to join the battle and lead an army was certainly well-prepared.
He had prepared at least five means of escape.
“But I need the army to remain intact. To form and maintain this army, my family and I have invested too much.”
“Rashly suffering losses, how will we establish great accomplishments, how will we seize war spoils, how will we obtain rights to autonomy?”
If the army is scattered and broken, it will be absorbed by other armies.
Shuangjing and the forces behind him aspire not for minor achievements, but for greater, more numerous ones!
Thus, Shuangjing ordered the army to immediately stay put and reorganize, forming a battle formation.
On the Thousand Peak Forest side, they also deployed three Golden Core Cultivators to contain the situation here.
No matter how the three Golden Core Cultivators cast long-range spells, each was neutralized by White Jade Camp one by one.
The three Golden Core Cultivators dared not show themselves and could only helplessly watch as White Jade Camp formed the battle formation—the Jade Barrier Sky Formation!
The barbarian demon camp’s soldiers were pursued relentlessly, crying and howling like ghosts and wolves as they entered White Jade Camp’s field of vision.
Behind them, several Golden Core Cultivators, either riding clouds or mounts, displayed their might, fierce and flaunting.
“Friends, it’s White Jade Camp!”
“We’re saved, we are saved.”
“Quick, save us.”
The cultivators from Barbarian Demon Camp were overjoyed, calling out for rescue.
Seeing this situation, the Golden Core Cultivators of Thousand Peak Forest slowed down their attacks and threatened more, deliberately reducing lethality.
The Deputy General grew anxious: “Not good, Lord Shuang, this is the enemy’s poison plot.”
“If we proceed to rescue, by letting these people enter, it would surely disturb the battle formation and create countless flaws, easily exploited by the enemy.”
“If we do not rescue and allow our friendly forces to be brutally killed, morale will inevitably fall, even the soldiers’ hearts may waver! This will still affect our military power!!”
“It’s bad whether we rescue or not.”
Shuangjing, expressionless, huffed coldly.
He took out the General Seal, infused it with Mana, and activated the Military Art contained within the General Seal—Solidify Morale!
The same Solidify Morale, because White Jade Camp had already formed a formation and was on full alert, was easily successful. Everyone’s attention centered on Shuangjing… and the General Seal in his hand.
Shuangjing held the General Seal in one hand while casting spells with the other, projecting his voice throughout the entire army.
“I was born to a family that cleansed me with Heavenly Dew and wrapped me in rainbows and fine silk. From childhood, I never worried for clothing or food, the center of everyone’s attention, truly a cut above the rest!”
“Comrades, in the Capital, we feast off jade plates and wear pearls and gold, living in large and deep residences with wives and concubines in abundance.”
“This time, we wage war for the glory of our noble families. Our clans await our triumphant return. We will reap victories time and time again, gaining merits and accolades, then walk tall back to the Capital, to enjoy more glory, a better life!”
“Now, the enemy wants to trap us!”
“They drive our allies to us, hoping to force us to extend a hand, to provoke our vulnerabilities.”
“But what is in front of us? A bunch of Barbarian Clan members, Demon Cultivators, huh, mere cannon fodder lured by the military funds. They know full well it is the enemy’s scheme, yet they still wish for us to rescue them, to collude with the enemy in disrupting our battle formation!”
“Do such allies deserve our help?”
The entire army responded: “Unworthy, unworthy!”
Shuangjing laughed loudly: “Barbarian Demon Camp, nothing but cannon fodder. Cannon fodder should have the awareness to be cannon fodder!”
“Let them use their lives to deplete the enemy’s Mana.”
“As long as we stand firm, the enemy is too few to harm us.”
