Chapter 138: This Mountain Needs No Name

eastward, he did not travel for long before hearing the sound of horses' hooves approaching.Jiang Wang lightly pressed, and the crimson horse obediently stopped. Turning back, it was indeed the prair...As the white jade-carved boat carrying Bai Yu Xia sailed away, Jiang Wangcai suddenly realized that as the "Lord," sending a retainer to play on Huai Island alone without giving him a few pieces of yuan stones for spending money was simply not right.

But then again, the few yuan stones should be left for those in greater need.

Compared to Bai Yu Xia, who was born into wealth and had never lacked money, it was obvious who needed more.

Then, feeling completely justified, he waved his hand and led his personal guard to the camp.

This is the translated text: Here is more context.

Qi Shuai dispatched five thousand soldiers under Jiang Wang's command, none of whom were Xia Ci elite soldiers. He explicitly stated that he was only letting Jiang Wang train first, and whether he could lead them into battle and stand on his own depended on Jiang Wang's performance.

Training soldiers is a true art, not something that can be summed up simply by rewarding the good and punishing the bad.

Needless to say, with Jiang Wang's background, he never had the opportunity to access this kind of knowledge before. Later on, he had both the chance and the channels, but he simply didn't have enough time.

As a result of being spread too thin, even my time for cultivation feels insufficient. It's impossible to excel at everything. In terms of military training, the deployment of troops is paramount.

What flying formations, geese in a line, dragon clouds, sharp arrows, crescent moon...

Every military formation is applied to the battlefield only after repeated training has ingrained its various changes into instinct.

Of course, the Qi army's basic formation was unified and regularly optimized and upgraded. Those five thousand soldiers didn't need Jiang Wang to start training them from scratch.

The retainer Bai Yu-xia possessed extraordinary talent and martial prowess. Fang Yuan-you, the commander of the personal guard, was loyal and steadfast, diligently fulfilling his duties. Their military training was exceptional.

Two hundred guards dispersed into the camp, playing a good role as a central hub.

Moreover, Jiang Wang, having been through several battles, had accumulated rich combat experience. He had not only seen pigs run but also eaten quite a bit of pork. Following the military treatise step by step, after days of training, he managed to appear somewhat competent.

But true military prowess can never be honed within the safety of one's own camp.

When the rudimentary camp here in Jiangwang was just established, two military orders arrived simultaneously. One order informed him that his recent efforts in training the troops had passed muster and he could now go on campaign. However, it wasn't outstanding enough. Based on the principle of responsibility towards the soldiers going into battle, a deduction from their pay would be made.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The original words are: "Military affairs were lax, not the skill of the five commanders-in-chief, so two thousand men had their foreheads shaved."

>

Taking the nine-thousand soldiers of Dà Qí as an example, a general commands one thousand troops. The talent of five generals is equivalent to commanding five thousand soldiers.

Qi Xiao didn't know when he found the time to review Jiang Wang's military command and gave his judgment, directly cutting down two thousand of his troops with a military knife.

Although Jiang Wang didn't know which part of the army he was separated from, he couldn't question the judgment of such a renowned military general of his time, nor could he defy the military order.

He could only watch helplessly as the messenger led away his soldiers whom he had trained so hard these past few days.

With two thousand soldiers being pulled away, the vast training ground suddenly felt half empty. It was a truly unpleasant feeling. Fang Yuanyou even shed tears there, that rough man with red-rimmed eyes.

Jiang Wang glanced at him, seriously unfolding the second military order — San Jiu Er Er — Naval Order — Three Commanders Jiang Wang — Zero One. Target: Codefend Ding Mao area's first floating island.Deadline: Three days.

On the fourth day of Jiang Wang's arrival on Jueming Island, Qi Xiao ordered him to lead his troops into the Maze World. Before June 22nd, if he did not arrive, it would be considered a missed deadline.

So far, he's only attended one class and met Qi Xiao only once.

"Squad up, within fifteen minutes, prepare for deployment." Jiang Wang retracted the military order, his voice calm. "Squad up!" Fang Yuyou wiped away his tears and roared in anger.

The entire schoolyard was emptied quickly and orderly, like a river dividing into streams. In the blink of an eye, all had dispersed, each armed. At that moment, the sky was vast and open, the wind low, flags billowing.

The tense and somber atmosphere had never left Jueming Island. Jiang Wang asked, "Fang Yuanyu, what tears are you shedding"

Fang Yuyou knelt down with armor on, and said: "The last general is incompetent and has failed the great grace! Your fame resounds throughout the heavens and your influence dominates the land. How can you bear the humiliation of having your military strength halved If Mr. Bai had assisted you, things would not have come to this!"

"As for military matters, this marquis is a mere layman. There's no shame in that." Jiang said calmly, "The reduction of my army was General Qi's assessment of my capabilities, which isn't an insult either. Precisely because I am mediocre in military affairs, I came under General Qi's command to learn. Rise! Don't behave like a child."

Fang Yuan You immediately stood up, the jade leaf clashing, all of it was unwilling.

As for the saying "a superior officer dies for his subordinate," he completely felt that Jiang Wang could only be called the three-duties commander because their daily efforts were not enough. Whether in Xiǎdì, in the demon world, or anywhere else, Lord Hou was respected everywhere.

Instead, he personally led these guards onto the battlefield, but he couldn't even become one of the five commanders. He was too mediocre and didn't deserve the trust of the marquis!

"Jiang Wang walked forward and reached out to smooth the man's armor. "Yuan You, I don't recall you ever being this fragile. On the battlefield of Qixia, we were mighty. When we conquered Ximing, you stood behind me. During the Battle of Hui Ming, you protected my flanks. What has come over you now Do you intend to shield this marquis from shame"

Scenes from the battlefield of Qixia surged into my mind, like waves upon the shore. Following the victorious banners, galloping amidst blood and fire...

Fang Yuanyu had many words stuck in his throat, but he was tongue-tied and couldn't say them.

Jiang Wang patted him on the shoulder: "Alright, if you feel that this marquis hasn't received enough respect, then take your brothers and show me what you got."

He gazed out to sea, his eyes sweeping across the vast expanse of water. His voice echoed the immensity of the ocean: "What we couldn't achieve on the training ground, we will take on the battlefield."

At this moment, Fang Yuan-you was truly looking at him, seeing with his own eyes a figure who stood atop the Eastern Kingdom, wielding power and commanding a vast territory!

but also more than just that valiant and invincible young general on the battlefield of Qi Xia.

A clenched fist pressed against his chest, he knew this was the banner he would follow for the rest of his life: "The last general takes orders!"

Wǔ'ān Hóu led three thousand soldiers, aboard the ship "Flying Cloud," departing the island.

This ship is equipped with two dreadnoughts and three moon-shooting crossbows. It can be considered the main flagship of Jueming Island.

This is an example of how to use HTML tags.

The shooting moon crossbow was originally designed as a siege weapon mounted on a chariot, capable of devastating fortified positions. After removing the chariot body, the crossbow was directly fixed to a warship, instilling terror in seafaring tribes.

Self-Determination Island is less than three thousand nautical miles east. That's the "death sea," as sailors call it, where winds are fierce and waves are treacherous. Of course, that's just what the sailors say.

Warriors who fight the sea tribes all know that what is called the Dead Sea is nothing more than rough seas, with occasional whirlpools, and no one dies there. The truly blood-soaked plains, where souls fall like hurricanes, are only found after passing through this sea area.

Guiding through the wind and waves, the giant seafaring vessel created by Qi National Engineering Institute floats like a solid piece of land on the open sea.

Jiang Wang stood at the bow of the ship, arms crossed, facing the wind and waves.

Speaking of it, his first time going to the Mystic Realm was uneventful. Chongguang Zhenren carried him, light shifting and objects moving around them, before he could even react, they were already there.

When leaving, he took the scorching sun flying vessel of Yanggu Valley. He narrowly escaped being obliterated by the Blood King's punch, his soul still trembling in fear, let alone any feelings.

This time, leading troops on an expedition, is truly about gauging the wind and listening to the waves.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

He likes the feeling of taking control of his own destiny, no matter what storms he may face. I too am a storm!

Suddenly, a red light slashed through the sky, piercing the heavy clouds and rain.

Jiang Wang's scarlet eyes lit up. On that crimson boat, he saw an acquaintance and immediately called out, "Brother Fu!" Thirty or so people on the scorching sun flying boat all turned their heads, their auras stern and imposing, obviously all cultivators from Yanggu.

The self-flying boat, led by the first one, descended and landed beside Jiang Wang. It was none other than Fu Yanqing.

"You're going out to sea already" He brushed his wet, long hair back, his voice clear even above the howling wind and crashing waves.

"Though our training hasn't been great, we still need to test ourselves on the battlefield." Jiang Wang replied, and countered, "What about you Why are you going to the Mystical Realm at this time"

Fu Yanqing had spent a long time training in the Illusory Realm, and by that time, he had already won everything he could with his cultivation level. Around the year 3919 of Daoli's calendar, he returned to the Qun Island archipelago around the same time as Jiang Wang and began to seek the divine descent.

These are all things Jiang Wang knew.

The other day I almost watched him challenge Chen Jizhao's one-on-one match. He seems to be doing quite well in the development of the nearby island chain.

Fu Yanqing said:

"I've been lost in the Netherworld, but this time I came back specifically to find Chen Zhi Tao and verify myself."

His brows were cold, and he didn't look like he was joking, which made Jiang Wang feel a little awkward.

"In the past two years, there should have been many opportunities in these coastal islands," said Master Jiang nonchalantly. "I thought Brother Fu would have made a name for himself in the Coastal Sea Alliance."

This is a sample text.

"Integrating the coastal forces, it's definitely a good thing in the long run and also creates many development opportunities in the short term. The Zhenhai Alliance has heavy authority and abundant resources······ But I still prefer life in the Illusory World."

Fu Yanqing shook his head. "It's not a matter of getting used to it. After staying there for so long, it's still hard to get used to. After all, that place has different rules from the real world. You have to fight against the sea creatures and be constantly wary of those damn mutations."

He sighed, "It's just that I always feel... I belong there. I can't stay near the coast; I don't know why."

Jiang Wang also felt a bit sentimental: "It's probably because······"

Fu Yanqing said: "It's probably because I went back to the near sea to challenge Chen Zhi Tao, but I didn't win!"

"Well, I don't know what got into Chen Zhitao. He was fine and then just said he wouldn't fight anymore." Jiang Wang said earnestly: "I was looking forward to the show that day too! You guys make plans again later and remember to let me know."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Fu Yanqing turned her head and looked at him for a moment before finally saying, "Being the Marquis of Da Qi is... quite a test."

Recalling the time of lending money.

Mr. Jiang is still very simple.

Ding Xiaowei said whatever amount it is, that's the amount.

If the present were then, wouldn't everything depend on it

Prince Wu'an of Da Qi seemed to completely misunderstand the implication. He said to his advisor, "Brother Fu, shouldn't you be in charge of an island now Or are you still in the Dingwei region"

This campaign's destination is the Dingmao region.

This number inevitably made Jiang Wang recall the places he had fought, such as the Ding Wei area where cultivators from Yanggu once resided, a single floating island that stood against five sea nests.

Recalling Ding Jingshan, who had said that all beings from different worlds and races were comrades. It's also natural to think of the brilliant Star Bridge.

Time flies, year after year!

"The Tingwei area is gone," Fu Yanqing said.
