“However…”
“No however! The ones who ultimately survive this battle and return will form the backbone of the future law enforcement ranks, gathering together as a separate force. As for those who die, that will of course be the natural selection process…”
“No need to say more!”
The Law Sovereign decisively made a decision.
The argument made by the Law Sovereign seemed plausible, indeed, what he said had considerable truth to it, but it was only suitable for the daily enforcement duties of law enforcers and definitely not applicable to the current situation.
The ongoing conflict in the martial arts world was different from a typical battle between armies, as the participants on both sides were formed by a large number of martial artists, creating a special army that truly required a wise commander on the battlefield.
Martial artists excel beyond ordinary soldiers in terms of their extraordinary energy, combat power, and resilient vitality, yet they also fall short in their rebelliousness and refusal to obey the commands of their superiors, which is the greatest taboo in military strategy!
Soldiers who do not listen to orders are merely a scattered mass; they may manage to perform adequately in favorable circumstances, but once they face defeat, they will collapse like a house of cards. This was true for the noble families alliance as well; while the situation was slightly better on the law enforcers' side, if they were to suffer defeat, the outcome would not be much different!
The Law Sovereign's approach was equivalent to planting a super time bomb; it was just a matter of when it would explode!
Under the Law Sovereign’s autocratic rule, not a single person among the law enforcers could argue their position, thus the situation was arranged almost like a farce.
But the Law Sovereign clearly did not care at all; after finishing his statement, he did not speak further on the matter. He only raised a faint black mist around him and thoughtfully asked, “Has the nine calamity sword master and his nine calamities appeared in this battle?”
“No, they did not participate. None of the spectators on the city walls did either.”
“Hmm.” The Law Sovereign's eyes showed a hint of contemplation, then he picked up a piece from the chess set and calmly said, “If the nine calamity sword master appears, inform me immediately!”
…
Reinforcements from the law enforcers entered the battlefield, joining the fray.
The situation on the battlefield became more and more intense, with countless lives vanishing every moment.
However, everyone watching from the city walls was utterly confused and bewildered.
Especially Diwu Qingrou, who was completely at a loss, her usual calm demeanor completely vanished.
How could a battle still be fought like this?
Was the Law Sovereign’s mentality deranged? Had he lost his mind? How could he orchestrate such a situation?
The reinforcements from the law enforcers entered the battlefield, and their momentum surged; this was indeed a good thing, and it was expected.
Xiao Chenyu and the others had already fallen into encirclement, and their situation could be described as precarious. This was also a good thing, and it was expected.
The outcome was certainly affected by the presence of reinforcements, as the military quality of the law enforcers was stronger than that of the noble families alliance, adhering to certain principles.
Yet everyone could still clearly feel that while the previous fighting by the law enforcers was somewhat effective, the arrival of reinforcements caused the entire team to descend into chaos instead. The increased numbers did not bolster their formation; rather, their combat effectiveness diminished.
The members of the team remained martial artists, after all, and were not a truly well-trained army. As the fighting dragged on, their ferocity erupted completely, each fighting individually, and the entire battlefield turned into a chaotic mess.
Perhaps it should be described as a hodgepodge stew made up of various martial artists, practitioners of all levels, and experts of different tiers!
