Immortality Cultivation: I Can increase My Stats Using Clansmen's Qi-Blood

Chapter 125: Chapter 93: Wan Dan Sect’s Task, Reward of Lower Yellow Grade Defensive Spiritual Weapon_3

“Naturally, we’ll stay put on the high platform,”

“As the Luo Family attacks, it benefits us to defend.”

“Defending always gives you quite the advantage.”

As Ding Fan was speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Feng Xingwen beside him.

For some reason, he always felt that…

Feng Xingwen, that damned man, seemed to always have a bit of sarcasm in his words.

Could it be because he had forced Feng Xingwen to back down before?

So that was why Feng Xingwen always sounded so sarcastic?

Thinking of this, Ding Fan couldn’t help but nod silently.

Yes, that must be it.

After all, no matter how you look at it, the Feng Family’s ancestors were once princes within the Da Feng Dynasty, and their noble status went without saying.

Yet now, the Feng Family lineage was bowing to the Ding Family in order to survive.

For the Feng Family, with ancestors who were princes of the Da Feng Dynasty, this was undoubtedly a tremendous disgrace.

…

The situation that followed…

was basically the Luo Family on the offense.

And East Earth Town continually on the defense.

In the meantime, both sides suffered losses.

However, what was somewhat unexpected was…

that the side that suffered more losses…

turned out to be the soldiers of the Ding Family.

In just one day’s time, the Ding Family had nearly 5,000 men fallen.

Meanwhile, the Luo Family had at most lost only 1,000 men.

The casualty ratio of about five to one almost caused the Ding Family’s Family Head to break down.

…

The next day, early morning.

It was still not completely light.

The temperature all around was still slightly chilly.

Even the armored soldiers on the walls of East Earth Town were somewhat dozy.

The assault from the Luo Family soon began again.

Ladders were carried by soldiers and placed against the walls of East Earth Town.

One after another, the trebuchets relentlessly flung massive and incredibly hard boulders.

Crashing into the walls of East Earth Town and the buildings within.

“Brother Tang, given the current situation, what do you think are our Luo Family’s chances of victory?”

In the Luo Family Army’s rear.

Luo Yong looked at the pleasing situation before him.

He asked Tang Jian, who was dressed in a Taoist robe and holding a White Feather Fan, with a very pleased mood.

“As for chances of victory, it was a full ten out of ten from the very beginning,”

Tang Jian squinted his eyes, peering into the void where the blackened air was growing denser over East Earth Town.

He spoke very calmly.

“Then before you mentioned that this East Earth Town was somewhat unusual?”

Luo Yong looked somewhat displeased at Tang Jian beside him.

Tang Jian simply smiled slightly, while waving the White Feather Fan in his hand, and whispered, “Luo Brother, as you said, I only mentioned that East Earth Town was a bit unusual.”

“But I never said that we would lose this battle.”

Luo Yong’s eye twitched slightly, and after a long while, he could only sigh softly, saying lowly, “You, you’re something…”

…

In the blink of an eye,

it was already noon.

The sun was high in the sky.

The outdoor temperature, as the scorching sun continued to shine, gradually became hotter and hotter.

It was almost as if one was standing next to a furnace,

making people involuntarily frown slightly.

Under normal circumstances, at such times, the two sides should cease battle for a few hours.

Waiting for the outdoor temperature to decrease a bit before resuming the attack wouldn’t be too late.

However, Luo Yong today chose to break the norm.

In the scorching noon sun, he still opted to send troops to attack East Earth Town.

…

The war lasted merely half an hour.

The soldiers atop the walls of East Earth Town began to falter.

Their faces reddening, their bodies emitting an intense heat.

Steaming mist even rose intermittently from their heads.

If this were to continue,

Let alone continuing to fight against the Luo Family,

It would be uncertain whether these soldiers would suffer from heatstroke.

But looking over at the Luo Family Army,

The situation was somewhat different.

After enduring Luo Yong’s countless inhumane trainings,

Luo Yong’s regular army, though merely thirty thousand in number and not particularly large,

In terms of elite status, combat power, and will,

They were absolutely top-notch.

Forget the soldiers of East Earth Town, whose training was inadequate,

Even the elites of the Da Feng Dynasty,

Luo Yong dared to challenge.

…

Time flew swiftly.

In the blink of an eye, it was deep into the night.

East Earth Town, within the Ding Family Manor.

The room where the Family Head of the Ding Family was located.

At this moment, Ding Fan’s face was overcast as he held a report of battle losses in his hand.

For a while, his expression turned exceedingly grim.

“The Luo Family’s armored elites lost a mere five hundred, whereas our side lost nearly ten thousand troops?”

“Are you certain this report of the battle losses is accurate?”

In the room, Ding Fan slammed the report forcefully onto the table.

After that, he looked at the Ding Family general in front him with an extremely sour face.

“Yes, it’s accurate…”

The Ding Family general knelt on one knee, his body trembling slightly.

Panic was written all over his face.

Upon hearing this response, Ding Fan’s complexion grew even more somber.

The temperature in the room seemed to drop abruptly in that moment.

Indeed, he had anticipated some losses during the Luo Family’s attack today,

But who the hell would have thought that the ratio of casualties would reach a terrifying twenty to one?

Such a ratio was somewhat absurd.

“Why? Give me a reason!”

As Ding Fan gradually calmed his emotions, he once again demanded an explanation in a low voice from the person before him.

“Combat prowess, will, as well as equipment.”

“We are far inferior to the Luo Family on all counts.”

“Not to mention the Luo Family’s regular army, even their reserve forces are likely much better than ours…”

Though the Ding Family general was fraught with fear,

He still managed to articulate one reason after another.

“Combat prowess, will, and equipment?”

Hearing this, Ding Fan couldn’t help but lower his head, sinking into contemplation.

Indeed, in his quest over the years to enhance the family’s power and improve his people’s cultivation, he seemed to have forgotten something.

To have an army with sufficient fighting strength,

Not only did it require manpower, but also extensive training, and quality equipment.

And his own army…

He seemed to have never paid them much attention.

Nor had he ever spent much on this force.
