Yet, the unbreakable will of the Cang Jiang Military Force had highly surpassed Raphael’s expectation. The fight had lasted for 3 hours and it could be considered as an extremely long lasting fight for the card artisans.

There were only 300 men left in the Cang Jiang Military Force. However, their fighting spirit was admirably tenacious.

Sang Hanshui’s face went gloomy as the Wooden Word Camp had lost over 80 men ever since the war had started. Furthermore, the amount of casualties was over 150. Anyhow, the Wooden Word Camp had acquired the upper hand during the fight all the time. However, judging by the situation, the difference in combat powers between both teams was obvious.

The equipments owned by Cang Jiang Military Force were above the average within the Heavenly Federation. Even regular card artisan’s equipment were built with 4 stars cards. However, in comparison to Wooden Word Camp, the equipment that Cang Jiang Military Force had were rather inferior. Before acquiring the Computation Box, Chen Mu’s 3 stars numbered series card was already enough to be on par with the 4 stars cards. After getting through the optimization by the Computation Box, those cards had become even stronger in overall performance.

The cards’ power had greatly increased. Higher shooting rate and less energy consumption and they had even achieved lower energy fluctuation…

However, the current Wooden Word Camp was like a child with a knife. Although they were equipped with the best weapons in the world, but unfortunately, they were unable to perform its best. As for Cang Jiang Military Force, they did not use 5 stars cards quite often but instead, they were using those regular 4 stars cards most of the time. However, their combat capabilities were extraordinary, especially the insane tenacity shown by Sang Hanshui, which allowed him to be highly respected by evevryone.

It was terrifying to know that the Cang Jiang Military Force could still manage to hold their ground with 300 men left after losing over 3,000 of them throughout the fight!

If both parties were to fight with one another face to face, Sang Hanshui could assure that his team would definitely lose the fight. Generally speaking, they were just mercenary soldiers. It would be difficult to expect loyalty from them unless they were granted with their own territories which would allow them to bring their families to live together. Only so, the mercenary soldiers would remain loyal.

However, it was not the right time to think about it and it was not his concern after all.

For now, his only concern was to end the fight as soon as possible.

He looked at Raphael and started hesitating in his mind on whether he should arrange the team 1 into the battle. Team 1 was the strongest among the five in both combat power and equipment levels. Hence, he was not willing to place them into the battle. Raphael was following the boss all the way from Tai-shu family to where they were now. Therefore, none of them would doubt her loyalty.

Raphael had realized that Sang Hanshui was staring at him. The horrible impression and the beaten experience left by those fighters in the minds of all these card artisans from Tai-shu family were unforgettable .

“Sir. Let us join the fight!” Raphael asked. Card artisans in team 1 who stood beside her were feeling the urge to fight. It was a torture for them to watch the battle which had reached the climax but could not do anything at the side.

Sang Hanshui did not speak a word.

Back in the operation vehicle, Chen Mu Was looking at everything happening in the frontline. He was brainstorming while observing the situation in the battlefield. For him, he would still have a lot of things to learn. He had never been through any proper systematic learning progress before and instead, he learnt it all by himself. What he could recall was what Bogner had told him to do.

However, the reality proved that ” practice makes perfect”. Without any help from Bogner and Jiang Liang, he could only count on himself. Although there were plenty of obstacles during the process, but eventually he still managed to build the Wooden Word Camp.

He observed the image displayed carefully from the Spinulosa Disk as he quickly did some maths in his mind.

From his perspective, Sang Hanshui obviously was not flexible enough. Chen Mu strategized several ideas that which would be able to destroy the enemy but Sang Hanshui had turned the battle into a prolonged state. However, Chen Mu did not stop him. Since he had given the Sang Hanshui the authority to take control of the battle, he would not interfere. He was a fighter without a solid foundation but what about Sang Hanshui and Xiaobo? They were not provided a solid foundation too.

All of us required time and experience to grow.

Other than them, the Wooden Word Camp soldiers were also lack of foundation. This battle had greatly impacted them. He had realized that the soldiers would learn from the enemy and their chemistry between one another had improved. They started to cover each other with their instincts and experience. These soldiers was slowly forcing themselves in adapting to the tough battle. Such improvement could be seen from the decreased casualties rate as compared to the previous fight.

“Struggles develop strong and undefeatable fighting spirit.” The tougher the fight, the greater the fighting spirit of a team would become!

By witnessing the fallen of his card artisans, Chen Mu suddenly realized how calm he was. A quote popped out in his mind, “One who is lenient will never fit to lead an army! When have I become so cold-blooded?”

He sighed and laughed sarcastically himself before turning his focus back to the battle once again.

Chen Mu had finally realized the changes in himself. He used to chill most of the time when Bogner, Jiang Liang, and Xi Ping were still by his side as he would never have to worry about anything. He would only have to focus on his research. Unfortunately, once he left Bogner and others, he had to manage everything on his own and this had changed his personality and his attitude in doing stuff.

On certain levels, he could be considered as a leader.

The level 7 card artisans who stood beside Chen Mu were surprised. They were impressed by everything they saw on the screen.They were following Chen Mu’s orders most of the time just because they were afraid of the White Commander. Honestly, they were disappointed because even though the White Commander had managed to achieve level 7, his perception power was weaker than anyone of them.

They would not be convinced that easily in the world that admired power and strength.

Most of the people would not pay any attention to these arrogant level 7 card artisans from Wooden Word Camp.

However, they had witnessed with their bare eyes on the fate of Cang Jiang Military Force, which was the First Army of the Underworld, had suffered from total annihilation by Wooden Word Camp!

The Wooden Word Camp’s combat capability was far beyond everyone’s expectation!

Nothing was more persuasive than power! Those level 7 card artisans had finally decided to pay their respects to this young man in mask, who had built such supreme army all by himself !

Whatever Chen Mu had found out, Sang Hanshui who was present at the battle must have sensed too. Sang Hanshui was definitely much stone-hearted in comparison to Chen Mu. Xiaobo would share the same trait too. A true card artisan would have struggled to survive, while the lenient ones would have died long ago.

He did realize the changes in his soldiers. Sang Hanshui declined Raphael’s battle invitation without any hesitation.

He had a simple concept. Card artisans were supposed to fight with their lives at the frontline. Human lives would be valued the most in this crucial world! Among all the people in Wooden Word Camp, he did not care about anyone but his boss.

For now, the Wooden Word Camp had lost over 150 card artisans! Furthermore, there were 300 wounded card artisans too!

This was definitely the most disastrous record they had ever since the Wooden Word Camp was established.

Yet, their efforts did not go to waste.The Wooden Word Camp soldiers were experienced card artisans. They had managed to obtain the rhythm and chemistry through this battle. They had fought in a more skillful and experienced way as he cooperation between each of them went better.

“Damn it! They used us as a stepping stone!” Cang Jiang Military Force had only 2 captains left in the battle. One of them spoke with a gloomy face. As compared to the Wooden Word Camp’s inexperienced leadership, the captains from Cang Jiang Military Force were experienced in fights and they were pioneers. Hence, it was definitely a shame for Cang Jiang Military Force to become someone else’s stepping stone.

Another captain spoke in a serious tone, “Alright. We can’t continue this way anymore. I’ll stall them while you go and bring the other half of the troop to breakthrough the battlefield.”

The captain shouted in madness, “What do you mean by that? If we were to die,we shall die together!”

The other captain was calm as shook his head and said, “We have to deliver this news to Cang Lan. This way, we get to atone for our mistakes of losing the fight, so that our families could get a better compensation!”

“Shall we deliver the message to the other 3 families?” The captain remained silence before he said the words. The option of staying alive was a temptation that he could not refuse as everyone was afraid to die.

“Definitely not!” The captain quickly stopped him. “Our Cang Jiang Military Force had been completely defeated. If the 3 families were in a good state, then our North Facing District might be ended up as a servant to them. Hmph! How could we allow this to happen? You try your best to make your way out, and stay in the woods. Do not take the way you came to avoid from the 3 teams. They’ll definitely go head to head with the Wooden Word Camp and they will soon realize who benefits them most.”

He went silent for a moment before answering the question. ” Please take good care of my family.”

“Alright!” This captain nodded solemnly with his eyes soaked in tears.

They both were decisive men. Therefore, they both split their paths decisively afterwards and immediately started to make the formation adjustment.

Sang Hanshui had noticed the changes in the enemy’s movement. He whispered the instruction to Raphael, who was standing beside him. Raphael nodded and started falling back with team 1 quietly.

Sang Hanshui’s assumption was right. 5 minutes later, the enemy had greatly strengthen up their firepower to an intensive level!

Although they had made an early preparation for this attack, several card artisans of Wooden Word Camp were injured in a blink of an eye. However, the well-prepared Wooden Word Camp card artisans had launched a counter attack in response, causing way more deaths and casualties on the enemy’s site.

All of a sudden, over 100 card artisans turned back and started to charge out from the battlefield! They were like a bunch of rats running towards all directions.

They did not activate the energy shield instead, they were doing all those dodging moves continuously, as if the Cang Jiang Military Force Camp went exploded.

A partial of the card artisans went straight for Sang Hanshui!

Within a short period of time, the leader of those card artisans had managed to slay 3 of the Wooden Word Camp’s card artisans without any mercy. He then took a glance at Sang Hanshui with his sharp eyes before tearing another card artisan apart right in front of him. He might have been using a 5 stars card, which could allow him to control the Seven-sided circular lightsaber the way he wanted. This lightsaber was extremely sharp and powerful that it could easily slice a man into half.

Level 7 card artisan!

Sang Hanshui grunted. He was pissed when the enemy tried to provoke him. He stared at the enemy ferociously and said,”Are you trying to kill yourself?”

Oncethe Wooden Word Camp’s card artisans knew that Sang Hanshui intended to have a solo battle with the enemy’s leader, they got excited and moved aside immediately just to make space for the fight.

As for normal days, the Wooden Word Camp’s card artisans were suppressed by the hit man. Their rules were strict and therefore, none of them would dare to cross the line. The hit man was well-known for his insane attitude but whether or not he was a good fighter, none of them could ever knew. It was Sang Hanshui’s first time in achieving level 7 which tend to make all of them curious about his true strength.
