Chapter 1381: Chapter 46: Shou Zhe’s Decisive Victory Thousands of Miles Away (Request for Monthly Tickets) _2 Chapter 1381: Chapter 46: Shou Zhe’s Decisive Victory Thousands of Miles Away (Request for Monthly Tickets) _2 The reason the Azure Dragon Battle Group is called the “Ace” is partly because it boasts the highest resource allocation, the best equipment, the finest soldier quality, and the strongest combat power among all the military groups in Da Qian. Additionally, it is also because many of the backbone members of the battle group are from the imperial household.

Moreover, the main general and the two deputy generals of the battle group are all cultivators from the Purple Abode Realm.

Ordinarily, the main general is chosen from among the war-talented Commandery Princes of the Imperial Household. The current main general of the Third Regiment is from the imperial family, Ning Commandery Prince, Wu Yingjun.

Ning Commandery Prince Wu Yingjun is nearly five hundred years old, and his cultivation base has already reached the mid-stage of the Purple Abode Realm. Even among the many Purple Abode Realm Commandery Princes of the imperial family, his strength is considered exceptionally outstanding; he has obtained commendable results many times in the internal peer-level competitions of the imperial family.

Not counting the Great Heavenly Proud, his prowess ranks remarkably high within the entire imperial family, distinctly different from Commandery Princes like Rong and Fu, who merely coast along without real merit.

Inside the tent, Ning Commandery Prince Wu Yingjun, still appearing middle-aged, possessed a burly physique and a face full of evil Qi. When he sat, a domineering aura of authority emanated from him, immensely intimidating.

He is a typical fierce general on the battlefield, enjoying a notable reputation even in foreign territories.

As for the deputy generals, the requirements are not as stringent. They can be filled by members of the Imperial Household or by upper cultivators from military families or regional prominent families.

The two deputy generals of the Azure Dragon Third Regiment include one from the imperial family and another from the Da Qian Chen Family.

The imperial deputy general named “Wu Zhixing” is the newly appointed Commandery Prince—Hong Commandery Prince.

Although he was once narrowly defeated by Wang Liyao’s hands, Hong Commandery Prince Wu Zhixing is one of the imperial Sky Prides with infinite potential. Over the years, he has devoted himself to cultivation, already advancing smoothly to the Purple Abode Realm, becoming a key member of the imperial family.

Placing him in the Azure Dragon Third Regiment under the personal mentorship of the experienced Ning Commandery Prince shows how much Emperor Zi’an values him and is diligently nurturing him.

Besides the three Purple Abode Realm cultivators, one main and two deputies of the Azure Dragon Third Regiment, sitting in the main seat is a middle-aged man dressed in dark-colored battle armor.

He exudes an authoritative demeanor with a serious expression, and his every glance radiates the overwhelming presence of an important figure.

Compared to Ning Commandery Prince Wu Yingjun and Hong Commandery Prince Wu Zhixing, his aura is much more powerful, easily dominating everyone present with ease.

This person.

is the newly promoted Prince of the Da Qian imperial family—Eternal Heng Prince, Wu Hanheng.

Eternal Heng Prince was already famously known during his Commandery Prince era.

Back then, he was known as Heng Commandery Prince, and he opened a place called the White Cloud Tower in Return to Dragon City. Over the years, by hosting events like the Big Stomach King competition and the Sky Pride battle, the business of White Cloud Tower flourished incredibly.

Because of these successes, even as a newly advanced Prince, among the princes of Da Qian, he is considered a wealthy magnate with luxuriously equipped assets.

Sending him to the frontline, Emperor Zi’an did so partly to supervise the military operations as an imperial envoy, and partly to serve as a high-end combat presence.

“Gentlemen, as per the scouting intelligence we’ve deployed at the front line, the South Qin’s main army has arrived on the outskirts of Youmen Ridge. Their commander is the old Marshal of South Qin, Murong Kaifeng,” said Eternal Heng Prince solemnly. “Murong Kaifeng is a veteran of countless battles, with exceedingly high status and prestige in South Qin.”

“It’s important to note that this man is thorough in his considerations and stable in his conduct, hence we must not show any weaknesses.”

“Your Highness speaks wisely.”

Hearing this, the man sitting next to Eternal Heng Prince on the secondary seat nodded in agreement.

This man, with a face like Guanyu, possessed a handsome and refined appearance, seemingly youthful but sporting a trace of a beard, adding a touch of rugged maturity. His attire of wide robes and broad sleeves truly portrayed an air of scholarly ease and distinguished elegance.

This beautiful speaking man is Wang Shizhao, the current Lil Junior Clan Leader of the Changning Wang family, Wang Shouzhe’s direct eldest grandson.

Though he currently only holds the official rank of Grade Four in Da Qian and is a favored confidant of Emperor Zi’an, frequently assisting in handling national affairs in the capital, effectively serving as Emperor Zi’an’s Secretary-General.

Despite his age of just over a hundred years and a cultivation base still some distance from the Purple Abode Realm, none_present, including Eternal Heng Prince, can afford to underestimate Wang Shizhao.

He not only represents the will of Emperor Zi’an but also that of the Changning Wang family. The direction Changning Wang family has set for his growth is through the official court.

Though it isn’t openly discussed, everyone understands that eventually, he is expected to succeed Old Ancestor Yin Da as the new ‘Prime Minister’.

After agreeing with Eternal Heng Prince’s statement, Wang Shizhao added, “Murong Kaifeng enjoys the full trust of Emperor Yuan You and has been fully empowered over military forces. This invasion into our Da Qian is supported not just by two of South Qin’s ace battalions, the Kylin Battalions, but also by five main battalions, ten regular battalions, and thirty Corpse Puppet battalions, presenting a truly formidable strength.”

South Qin is overall significantly weaker than Da Qian; they only have four ace battalions and just nine main battalions across the country, besides having to divert some to garrison foreign battlefields.

Dispatching such numerous battalions this time equates to an all-out mobilization.

However, they do have one advantage: the utilization of Corpse Puppet battalions crafted from death-row prisoners. Ordinary Corpse Puppets are somewhat weaker than regular soldiers but are fearlessly fierce and unaffected by morale, able to fight to the last troop without needing retreat. They also carry corpse poison on their bodies, remaining a nuisance even in death.
