Chapter 1786 Charge


    ??1786 Charge


    The bear of a man was known simply as Commander Tiger. Ryu had heard some rumors about him, and he seemed to be among the very few who could live in the Tiger Barracks for an extended period of time.


    It was said that the average life span of those in the Tiger Barracks was half a battle. It was so exaggerated that none dared to give it a full battle length.


    However, Commander Tiger had already been at the head of this camp for the last 2000 years and had never had his position shaken.


    That said, it was also said that he was sent here as a punishment. Ryu had no idea what kind of punishment would last for 2000 years, but whatever it was, he was still suffering from it.


    What was more interesting was that no one seemed to know what he was being punished for. There were plenty of rumours, but it was hard to tell which was on was correct.


    There were things circulating around as simple as him just offending the wrong person, all the way up to ridiculous things like him stealing one of his father''s concubines.


    Whatever it was, Ryu didn''t care very much. But he was instantly on his guard. Being overseen by this man is likely why none had managed to survive. Either you would die on the battlefield or die trying to escape and failing to slip away from this man''s thick fingers.


    Ryu''s mind had no choice but to churn to find an opportunity.


    Commander Tiger''s roar echoed across the encampment, and the cripples forced themselves up.


    Ultimately, they were all Sky Gods. Even if they looked pitiful, the loss of an arm or a leg wouldn''t be enough to harm them.


    What was interesting to Ryu, though, was that he felt that the suppression of flight in this world was a bit odd. Rather than being reliant on cultivation, or becoming a Sword God, it seemed to fluctuate based on control and comprehension of Chaotic Qi.


    As such, some of these soldiers, despite just being True Sky Gods, were actually able to fly.


    Ryu looked ahead as though he was ready to charge, only to be "disappointed" that it wasn''t a command to go.


    ''This battlefield is a mess,'' Ryu thought to himself. ''Dao Lords, Dao Sovereigns, and True Sky Gods, all mixed in the same regions. It''s no wonder they''re all so afraid. If you get caught up in the wrong battle, you wouldn''t even have to be part of the fight to die. The shockwaves alone could take your life.''


    "VANGUARD! CHARGE!"


    Ryu''s gaze narrowed. It was another Dao Sovereign, but this time, he didn''t turn back to see who it was.


    Still, they obviously wanted them to go first.


    Ryu couldn''t even see the enemy yet. There was a rocky land up ahead that broke into tall mountains and rivers. According to the objective, they had to fight with the Real Plane to secure a defensive line as far ahead as possible. Preferably beyond the mountains so that they could control the high ground.


    With a BANG! Commander Tiger suddenly accelerated. Several of the Tiger camp were sent flying away from him.


    Ryu shook his head. This really was a shit show, but it seemed he was part of it now.


    He didn''t move immediately, looking around for a moment.


    Then he began a jog forward. It looked like he was on a leisurely stroll instead of heading into war. And yet, he was still faster than most because the cowards could hardly move.


    It was at that point that a vicious whip suddenly lashed out.


    Ryu caught it in his Spiritual Sense. The thorny Commander had lashed out at a member of the Tiger Barracks that was cowering.


    A rain of blood fell, dyeing the already crimson soil redder.
