Eternal life begins with saving my clan-Chapter 290: Prefecture War - Part 5 (Who Surprised Who)

Under the veil of the night, thousands of soldiers rode their horses silently, their movements shrouded in darkness.

Peering down at the camp below, a sharp glint of determination appeared in the unit leader's eyes.

"You know the plan. Go," the leader commanded in a hushed tone.

Without hesitation, half of the unit swiftly separated from the main group, their steeds galloping forward toward the western edge of the camp.

The leader watched their departure with a nod of approval, his confidence unwavering.

After a few tense moments, he led the remaining soldiers toward the eastern side of the camp, their presence concealed by the cover of night.

Meanwhile, while the Governor's army plotted their own surprise attack against the Celestial Forte army, they remained unaware that the Celestial Forte Elite unit was already infiltrating their camp.

Biyu didn't hold back in her deployment. She had dispatched the Sixth to Tenth Elite Units for the mission.

A formidable force that alone could be considered overkill for such an operation.

With each of them equipped with the upgraded Metal Bone Construct, it was akin to using a nuke against a primitive village.

Their presence alone was enough to strike fear into the hearts of their enemies.

As they arrived just a couple of meters from the enemy's camp, the five elite units separated, each taking a designated region of the camp.

However, instead of launching an immediate attack, they held their ground, patiently biding their time for the opportune moment to strike.

On the other side, the Governor's army was already in position, their anticipation palpable in the air.

Suddenly, a whistle pierced the silence of the night, echoing through the air like a clarion call to battle.

Hearing the signal, the soldiers of the Governor's army unsheathed their weapons and charged toward the Celestial Forte camp, their battle cries rending the night.

"DIE!" they screamed, their voices filled with fervor and determination.

Unbeknownst to them, the moment they appeared on the horizon, the Celestial Forte recon team had already picked up their movements.

Unlike their adversaries, they didn't need to ride their horses to report the situation to their leader. Experience tales at novelbuddy

With just a single thought, the news had been swiftly conveyed to the higher-ups, and their men were already lying in wait,

Just as the enemies prepared to rush into their camps, the waiting men sprang out of hiding, catching the Governor's soldiers off guard.

"Huh!" The soldiers of the Governor's army were stunned for a moment, but they quickly overcame their shock and rushed to face off against their adversaries.

To deal with the ambush swiftly, Biyu sent two thousand elite soldiers combined with the infantry to eliminate them in one clean swoop.

On the eastern part of the camp, the leader of the enemies watched the incoming men clad in strange armor, a feeling of dread creeping into his mind.

"How did the enemies know of our plan?" he uttered in confusion. Their plan had been meticulously crafted, with forces split into two—one for distraction, while the other would deliver a decisive blow to the enemy.

Yet, it seemed their enemies were aware of their intentions and had laid an ambush for them.

Unwilling to retreat without inflicting damage upon their foes, the leader rallied his troops.

"Charge!" he shouted, his voice echoing across the battlefield as they surged forward to meet their Celestial Forte soldiers head-on.

His over ten thousand men rushed toward their enemies, filled with resolve and vengeance.

However, the one thousand elite soldiers in the front didn't respond immediately to their charge.

When there were only a couple of meters separating them, they moved in perfect synchronization.

No one saw how they moved. It was as if they disappeared into the cold night.

What happened next was their gleaming blades shining in the darkness as they cleaved their enemies in two.

The enemy leader managed to deflect the first sword strike that came from the elite soldier in front of him.

Unfortunately, the second sword strike cleaved him in two.

From beginning to end, he didn't understand how he died.

Meiling looked at the leader and sneered.

They knew their enemies would not follow martial law.

A battle between Body Building realm and Qi Refinement realm must never include a Foundation Building realm expert.

However, their enemies sent more than ten Foundation Building experts for this ambush.

Unfortunately for them, they all died in less than two strikes from the elite team.

Meanwhile, in the Governor's camp, the Elite unit had received the green signal.

Whoosh!

The Elite Unit sprang into action, swiftly moving through the camp.

Patrolling guards were killed silently, without raising an alarm.

With the battle in full swing, three of the elite unit captains found themselves in a silent competition among themselves.

They were Jun Shen Yi, Jiang Li Mei, and Cao Liu.

Jun Shen Yi was a spear user, Jiang Li Mei wielded a thin sword, while Cao Liu's heavy broadsword left a formidable mark on the battlefield.

"What is going on?" General Sun asked, looking at the commanders in confusion.

"We don't know," one of the commanders replied.

They had been awaiting reports from their men who were sent to execute a surprise attack on their enemies.

Planning for anything else had been out of the question.

Suddenly, a soldier burst into the tent.

"Sir, we're under attack!" he declared urgently.

"What? How could they attack us?" General Sun exclaimed in disbelief, his eyes widening in shock as he turned to his commanders for answers.

"Send our men, kill them all!" General Sun shouted, his voice reverberating with fury.

"I don't want any of them to escape."

Unable to contain his raging emotions, he felt a surge of frustration.

Since the start of the war, everything seemed to be going wrong.

His meticulously planned surprise attack had backfired, leaving them vulnerable to an enemy assault.

Veins protruded on his forehead as he pointed to three of his commanders.

"Go join the battle. Kill them all."

The commanders were stunned for a moment.

Each of them had reached the Core Refining stage in their cultivation.

Joining the battle would render martial law ineffective against their enemies.

Despite feeling conflicted about the decision, they knew they had no choice but to obey the command.

With grim determination, they rushed out of the tent and into the chaos of the battlefield.

Outside, the previous camp was already engulfed in flames.

The cacophony of battle mixed with the miserable screams of soldiers, echoing through the cover of the night, painting a grim picture of the unfolding carnage.

In the span of minutes, thousands of soldiers had fallen under the cold blade of the elite units.

To them, there was no distinction between Foundation Building realm experts and Body Building realm warriors.

The ferocity of the attack left no room for such considerations.

Suddenly, three powerful men appeared in the sky, descending swiftly to the location where the battle raged on.

Cao Liu locked eyes with the middle-aged man before him and couldn't help but smile.

He recognized the aura of a Core Refining expert emanating from the man, but instead of feeling intimidated, his blood boiled with fighting spirit.
