Chapter 571: The Decisive Battle! Ü-Tsang Begins to Move!

Translated by: Hypersheep325

Edited by: Michyrr

Time seemed to slow to a crawl as countless eyes followed Duan Wuzong’s body through the air. Even Wang Chong, who was commanding everything from the summit, couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

“Zhao Wujiang…”

A hint of surprise appeared in Wang Chong’s eyes.

Duan Wuzong was no weakling. A person who could lead the Whitestone Corps to become one of the strongest corps in the Mengshe Zhao army, and who defeated the Annan Protectorate army in the battle of Erhai, could never be a weakling.

In truth, in the history that Wang Chong knew, Duan Wuzong was a valiant Mengshe Zhao general whose reputation had risen as high as the noon sun, in fact surpassing Zhao Wujiang. Wang Chong had originally believed that it was already enough for Zhao Wujiang to hold down Duan Wuzong and prevent him from being effective.

He hadn’t expected Zhao Wujiang to not only block Duan Wuzong but to also send him flying. In terms of strength, he had completely suppressed Duan Wuzong.

Boom!

Duan Wuzong flew through the air like he had been fired from a cannon and crashed into the ground. The ground where Duan Wuzong landed was instantly covered with cracks, and dust from the impact instantly filled the air.

“General!”

“General!”

……

All the Whitestone Corps soldiers in the surroundings paled in shock and began to rush over. Duan Wuzong was the linchpin of the Whitestone Corps. The loss of Duan Wuzong would be like the end of the world for the Whitestone Corps.

The Whitestone Corps has lost!

As Wang Chong looked down from above, an icy light shone in his eyes. It wasn’t that a general couldn’t fight at the head of one’s troops and lead an army in a charge against the enemy formation, but the risks were too great.

If one wanted to be a general who could serve as a model for their soldiers, one first had to be inconceivably powerful. If one did not have the sufficient strength and then suffered a mishap like Duan Wuzong, the morale of the army would instantly crumble.

A general leading the charge could easily raise the morale of the army, but they could also cause the morale of the army to plummet by encountering some sort of mishap.

Perhaps Duan Wuzong himself did not realize that the Whitestone Corps’s morale would crumble.

This is what it means to be raised by Xiao He and cast down by Xiao He1! Wang Chong quietly said to himself, his hands held behind his back as he watched the dust rising from that place down below.

‘Morale’ had never been some immaterial object. An ordinary soldier might be willing to throw caution to the wind and fight alongside their general, or they might think only of fleeing.

If one considered these situations in terms of morale, the morale of the former was at one hundred percent while the morale of the latter was at zero.

On the battlefield, morale was always one of the core factors behind the victory or defeat of an army.

“Protect General!”

“The rest of you lead the army in retreat. I’ll delay them!”

“Brothers, General regarded us as his brothers. No matter what, we can’t let anything happen to General!”
