Longevity Reward Redemption: The Immortal Clan Starts with Farmers

69: The final battle begins, traditional martial arts practitioners charge into battle.The Longze Grassland was the battlefield where Annan Prefecture fought against the barbarian tribes.

Chen Chuanwu was practicing martial arts in his tent. Having been away from home for two years, he had persisted in his daily training. Although he was now at the Blood Refining Peak and could not advance further, the habit of daily practice had taken root, and his Foundation had become increasingly solid.

”Captain, you have a letter from home!”

A military messenger shouted from outside Chuanwu’s tent. Upon hearing this, Chuanwu immediately wiped the sweat from his body with a coarse cloth. Without even taking the time to put on his armor, he walked out of the tent, his robust upper body bare.

”Brother, where is my letter from home?”

Chuanwu called out to the messenger. The messenger took out two letters, handed them to Chuanwu, and said with a smile:

”Big Brother Chuanwu, your family is truly wealthy. That house is so imposing. When I delivered the letter, the old master even gave me fifty taels of silver!”

”If he gave it to you, just keep it. We are all brothers in arms; just take it and spend it!”

Chen Chuanwu laughed heartily and said generously, then impatiently walked back into his tent to read his letters from home.

His wife Wang Juan’s letter was filled with longing, and she also told Chuanwu that she had given birth to a son for him, named Cheng An!

Seeing the contents of the letter, a happy smile appeared on Chen Chuanwu’s face, though it was tinged with a bit of sadness. Since his child’s birth, he, as a father, had not once shown his face; it was truly irresponsible of him.

He then opened his father’s letter, which was filled with Chen Changsheng’s exhortations, telling him not to worry about home and to be extra careful on the battlefield so that he could return safely!

”Father, Juaner, I will definitely return alive! Don’t worry!”

Chen Chuanwu carefully put away the two letters, his eyes filled with determination!

”Woo-woo-woo!”

Just as Chen Chuanwu put away the letters, a sudden sound of horn blasts echoed through the military camp. Chen Chuanwu’s expression tightened immediately; this was the signal to assemble before a major battle.

Without time to think, Chuanwu quickly put on his armor, grabbed his iron spear, and rode straight to the drill ground.

The drill ground was chaotic. It was clear that this sudden assembly had caught the soldiers off guard. Recently, both sides had only been engaging in small-scale skirmishes; a situation like this, where the entire army was assembled for a full-scale battle, had never happened before.

”Cavalry battalion men, stand in formation quickly and assemble here!”

With fifty thousand troops flooding into the drill ground, the scene was inevitably chaotic for a moment. As a captain of the cavalry battalion, Chen Chuanwu naturally had to be responsible for maintaining order among the cavalry.

He picked up the battalion flag, chose a spot, and shouted to the soldiers. Seeing the flag, the cavalry battalion soldiers found their direction and soon gathered around Chen Chuanwu.

Seeing that Chuanwu’s method was effective, the other officers followed suit, and the fifty thousand troops gradually gained order, with everyone returning to their positions.

”Chuanwu, well done!”

A young general rode over; he was Chen Chuanwu’s immediate superior, the cavalry battalion’s Company Commander—Du Bo.

”It is a trivial matter, not worth mentioning!”

Chen Chuanwu held Du Bo, who had appreciated and promoted him, in high regard, so he humbly cupped his hands in salute. At this moment, looking at the grand scene of the entire army assembling, he felt a bit of worry. Thinking that Du Bo was the general’s nephew and might have inside information, he quietly walked to Du Bo’s side and asked in a low voice:

”Company Commander Du, with the entire army assembled today, do you know what the general’s plan is?”

Upon hearing Chuanwu’s question, Du Bo’s expression instantly turned serious. He looked around, and seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he said to Chuanwu in a low voice:

”Our scouts have discovered that the barbarian elite forces have all been deployed and are assembling outside our camp. It is estimated that we are going to fight a major battle this time. After two years of fighting, perhaps this is the decisive battle!”
