Chapter 1860 Pincer

And the third facet, what else could it be if not comprehending how to infuse an army with its own martial intent?

This was the perfect opportunity to learn. And, Dyon didn't feel like he was losing anything either.

The Martial Intent would be useless without the appropriate Commander, in other words, himself. So, even if they chose to leave him in the future, whatever knowledge they gained would be useless. In fact, this truth might make them unwilling to leave him in the first place.

Like this, the Blood Phoenix Battalion continuously fought life and death battles on the weakest of planets while other Battalions had long since surged forward, seeking greater heights for themselves.

The Star Battalion, led by True G.o.d Star, had already conquering a 3rd Tier territory! That was right, not planet, but territory! This meant he had swept the equivalent of an entire star cl.u.s.ter under his control.

True G.o.d Diasho and his Dual Edge Battalion wasn't too far behind. Not only had they swept through a half dozen 2nd Tier territories, just a few days after True G.o.d Star, they too took hold of a 3rd Tier territory.

Similar feats spread far and wide.

The impressive Gentle Wing Battalion, led by G.o.d Amora, had purged their battalion of all males, effectively halving their number, yet had still managed to sweep 4 2nd Tier territories and were currently halfway through their first 3rd Tier territory!

The points were continuously mounting. Yet, interestingly enough, the Sacharro Clan still sat 3rd on the Clan leader boards despite Dyon's 'inept.i.tude'. Their geniuses simply contributed too much

'Shere, Sen, pincer.'

Dyon casually gave commands from Linlin's back. However, his casual demeanor was nothing like the raging storm below.

This was the last day of the month-long deadline Dyon had given the Blood Phoenix Battalion, and this penultimate battle had already been waged for four days.

This 1st Tier planet didn't have a name, but it was filled with a red soil with the consistency between that of wet sand and clay. Every step made one feel as though they lost half the energy they put in at once which gave the beasts they faced a decisive home field advantage.

As their cultivations were repressed to the saint realm, they simply didn't have the stamina necessary to sustain flight for several days at a time. In the end, they had no choice but to stand amid this terrible field of red.

In addition to this, the beasts of this planet were also not stupid. After suffering at Dyon's hands due to their disjointed nature, they came together in the end as one, led by 3 lower celestial beasts, all three of whom were equally powerful.

One was a raging bull with horns tinted in black and tapering red. The next was a large vulture with green feathers and a wrinkled long neck. The last was a silver armored four-legged creature with a rounded back and belly and a tail similar to that of a sewer rat.

Sen's twin tails whipped against the ground viciously, propelling him forward at his fastest speed.

His rod extended into the skies, clipping the vulture's wing. But the result was disappointing

A metallic cling rang outward, sending Sen flying back to the reddened ground.

'Linlin, cover Sen's descent. Shere, coat your claws in demon flames.'

Sen's attack might have seemed completely useless, but it had been perfectly timed under Dyon's watch. His rod's attack had perfectly synced with the vulture's flapping wings, that single instant of time, though it didn't crash to the ground, forced it to glide down almost 20 meters before it could flap once more.

But, this was already enough to give Shere more leverage in her attack.

At the same time, the armored rat had chosen to take advantage of Sen's rapid downward descent, but Linlin was already prepared.

Her delicate mouth opened, revealing a head of smooth white leathery skin and sparkling eyes slithering out from her gorgeous black sh.e.l.l.

A torrent of qi exploded from her body, forming numerous hexagonal s.h.i.+elds etched in beautiful ancient runes and stopping the armored rat in its tracks. Dyon hadn't allowed her to use the supreme grade s.h.i.+eld he gifted her in the Golden Flame Mystical World, but right now, she didn't need it!

Over this last month, Dyon had been learning more and more about what it meant to be a beast tamer. In the end, he understood that the path of the beast babies would be slightly different from that of Chenglei.

Chenglei had relied on himself to shatter the chains placed on him by the Heavens. He chose to remain by Dyon's side because he felt that without Dyon, this wouldn't have been impossible.

However, the celestial babies were a bit different. Even now, Dyon still thought of them as babies despite the fact they had grown far past that station in life.

He realized that though he was partially correct in believing the four of them had to rely on themselves to grow more powerful, it was just that, partially correct. He came to understand that as a Beast Tamer, and as the person they recognized as their master, they should have a symbiotic relations.h.i.+p.

He had to learn to perfectly balance holding their hand to aid them in improving, and allowing them to forge a path for themselves.

Still, this was very difficult But, Dyon did have one trump card in this matter: Ri's Primordial Yin.

If there was anyone to learn from in the art of beast taming, the elves, and especially their queen, couldn't be ignored.

By now, Ri had already controlled almost a dozen fairies, each with various abilities of their own. But, this was actually only one aspect of her strength. Ri's main beast partner had become the Celestial Kun Peng.

One shouldn't forget that Ri had subdued the Rainbow Kun Peng Clan long ago after journeying to the Dark Ocean. Back then, she had used her elvin bloodline to agitate the seal placed on them as punishment for disobeying her.
