LUCKY REINCARNATION: REINCARNATED WITH A HAREM SYSTEM-Chapter 156: War at Gulu plain
Immediately after Zhu Ming’s voice fell, sounds of galloping horses and horse cries rang through the night as thousands of soldiers in armor rushed out from the line of soldiers while riding on horse backs.
The Calvary squad numbered up to then thousand, each of them were in fearsome black armor as well as their horses. They had helmets with openings in front protecting their heads and long spears in one of their hands.
The soldiers let out war cries as they rushed forward, heading for the enemies.
"Archers, ready!" Zhu Ming shouted again and another few hundred soldiers carrying bows and arrows knotted arrows on their bowstrings before positioning themselves.
These soldiers had been trained for years so shooting firing arrows for hundreds of meters wasn’t an issue for them even if it was night, they could see clearly anyway.
Zhu Ming turned silent after giving those two commands, they all watched the Calvary squad advancing further away and the line of enemies getting closer. Even after traveling more than five hundred meters away from the rest of the group, Leon and the rest of the soldier could still hear the war cries of the members of the Calvary squad very clearly, their voices traveled far into the night.
Three minutes soon passed and the the distance between the Calvary squad and the enemies was now less than three kilometers, the could now see the soldiers of the Kalahari dynasty more clearly.
They were either in straw coats or silver armor and were carrying twisted bladed weapons.
At this moment, Zhu Ming gave others for the various Generals to lead groups of foot soldiers to engage the enemies.
Generals in golden armor quickly divided the soldiers into groups of tens of thousands before charging out from different routes, some charged out in an arc while others made a straight beeline.
Leon and the others remained in their previous locations, they were not asked to help yet and could only watch the soldiers charging at the enemy. All of these soldiers were ordinary mortals, it was inappropriate for a martial artist to interfere in a battle between mortal to avoid getting targeted by other martial artists who were hiding in the shadows.
The number of soldiers from the Cloud Dew dynasty that had charged out already surpassed three hundred thousand, they looked like swam of ants on the yellow sand. The ground shook from their charge and the sky exploded from their combined voices.
The number of soldiers still waiting at the back was still more than six hundred thousand, this included the remaining mortal soldiers, martial artists in the army, as well as the various sects.
Leon stared at the soldier in the distance with a look of amazement on his face. In all of his two hundred lifetimes, this was his first time witnessing such a grand sight with thousands of people charging at each other. He had only read and watched about such scenarios but never thought he would witness one. Discover stories with novelbuddy
This thought filled Leon with a sort of energy that made him itch for action, he wanted to join the soldiers and charge into battle! Of course, the battle he wanted to charge in was between mortal soldiers, not martial artists; the latter was too dangerous and he might die.
Meanwhile, the soldiers of the Kalahari dynasty were now only a few hundred meters away from the Calvary squad at the moment and were coming with great momentum; their numbers seemed to surpass that of the Cloud Dew dynasty’s army.
Zhu Ming gave others of the archers to release their bowstrings at this moment.
Whistling sounds rang out ceaselessly as countless arrows shot into the air and filled the sky. The sky seemed to have been covered in tiny black dots for a moment as the thousands of arrows covered a large portion of the sky and blocked the night sky above the soldiers.
The arrows soon began to fall on the soldiers of the Kalahari dynasty before they could meet the Calvary squad like raindrops. The arrows fell and pierced many of the soldiers, blood gushed out and screams filled the Gulu plain for a moment as many Kalahari dynasty’s soldiers dropped to the ground in large numbers.

But this didn’t stop the charge of their comrades, they even trampled over the bodies of their fallen comrades as they rushed at the soldiers on horse backs with bloodlust in their eyes.
Hundreds of Kalahari soldiers had died from the rain of arrows but it was only like a drop of water in a stream when compared to the remaining numbers of soldiers in straw coats, the deaths were almost negligible.
Both armies finally met after the rain of arrows and a chaotic clash followed.
The place was soon bloodied as the Calvary squad charged right into the soldiers of the Kalahari dynasty with their horses, they brandished their spears with professionalism and strong wil, spilling blood with every thrust and dropping a soldier with each stab.
The Calvary squad were well trained and knew how to carry out coordinated attacks while looking out for each other, so despite being in a such a messy situation, they still stayed together and supported each other while killing the enemies.
But the soldiers of the Kalahari dynasty were not to be underestimated either. Their numbers were severally times more than that of the Calvary squad and they fought like beasts without fear for their lives.
Dozens of them besieged a single Calvary squad and ruthlessly slashed at them and their horses. No matter how fierce the soldiers on horsebacks were, they would find themselves in difficult situations once their horses were killed and they had to face dozens of fearless enemies on their own.
Blood splattered everywhere as the corpses of straw coated soldiers, horses, and armored soldiers dropped to the ground every few seconds. The number of both sides were swiftly reducing but it was more noticeable on the side of the Calvary squad.
Luckily for them, the foot soldiers had arrived and attracted many of the enemies, giving the Calvary squad a small amount of time to breathe.
But this didn’t mean that they could rest as many enemies were still slashing at them.
It was like a scene from an apocalypse, soldiers died every second and the yellow sand soon changed color under them because of the amount of blood soaking into it; it was a horrific sight.
While the soldiers fought, Leon shifted closer to Bai Quing and asked in a whisper.
"Why don’t they allow martial artists on our side deal with these soldiers? It will prevent us from suffering more casualties."
Bai Quing looked at Leon and sighed before telling him that they could not just rush up there as there were also martial artists on the other side who were observing. The duty of the martial artists on both sides were to keep each other in check, martial artists were valuable assets of war and can not br casually sent out as the death of a single martial artist was worse than the death of fifty mortal soldiers.
While this sounded unfair to mortal soldiers who risked their lives to fight for their dynasty, it could not be helped than martial artists were more valuable than them.
At this moment, another figure suddenly dropped from the sky and landed beside Zhu Ming. It was a tall man in pitch black armor and had fiery red eyes, he was a level 9 expert as well!
"Now," he said to Zhu Ming softly. Zhu Ming glanced at him and nodded before turning around to face the remaining soldiers and sect behind her, her eyes were cold and her face was expressionless as if a bloodbath was going on behind her.
" Martial artists of the Kalahari dynasty have started to move, I hope the sects can take care of this." She voiced out calmly, her eyes darting from one face to another; these faces were the leaders of the various sects.
" Of course, leave it to us."
" We’ll complete this mission,"
" It’s our duty to assist the dynasty,"
The sect leaders voiced out their replies before turning to leave with their people, they would head back to their quarters to assemble their forces.
The Falcon sect was the same, after getting the go ahead signal from Zhu Ming, they all returned to their quarters to gather the disciples and elders.
Bai Quing selected asked the elders to gather five hundred disciples for this mission. Two hundred level 2 disciples, a hundred and fifty level 3 disciples, a hundred level 4 disciples, while the remaining fifty were the prime disciples and elders.
Quin Xuxu, Fengxue, and Lin Shuran were coming as well.
"Let’s go!" Bai Quing voiced out and all of them streamed out of their quarters and headed for the south side of the Gulu plain.
They had already been informed of which part they would be operating so they didn’t need anyone to lead them there.
More figures appeared and joined them on their way, they were the disciples and elders of three other sect who would be facing enemies of the Kalahari dynasty together.
Their numbers soon reached two thousand.
Fengxue looked around with narrowed eyes and discreetly approached Leon.
"Stay close to me," she whispered.
Leon was puzzled but still listened to her, a strong male voice sounded at this moment.
" Is this the only male disciple of the Falcon sect?"
