"Of course, I'm a non-combatant."
The old master flicked his horsetail whisk, corners of his lips forming a proud smile as he spoke to Jiang Yuan.
"Ha."
Jiang Yuan chuckled and nodded, "That's true indeed."
The old master's main skills lie in pill concoction and artifact refining; combat is certainly not his forte.
Hmm, it's only right for him to say he's a non-combatant.
"Alright then, let's just wait here for a bit."
Jiang Yuan smiled and didn't mind it.
After all, Nezha and Zhao Gongming were already enough.
On the other side, Shi Ji was continuously summoning the Bone Spirit Army.
Although the Bone Spirit Army has no advantage when facing individual Elemental Spirit Clan members,
They still have no issues supporting the battle in this type of battlefield.
As of now, Shi Ji's summons consisted mainly of archers.
With this terrain, Gun Cavalry couldn't be deployed effectively, and no other soldier type was as useful as archers.
After all, it was just about playing a supporting role.
On the battlefield, Zuo Mulin, Li Xuechen, and Fan Yuxian each were taking on three opponents; this was Clement's command.
Three members of their Thunder Element Spirit Clan were instructed to face the Human Clan's top fighters.
Under these circumstances, he—along with Kayadinger—could first wipe out some of the opponents' combat power, and then join forces with Kayadinger to take on the opponents' top fighters.
But now there was an unexpected turn of events.
The combat power of Nezha and Zhao Gongming was so formidable that only Kayadinger and he himself could intercept the two.
As for those who had been arranged to block the three top fighters of the Human Clan, they could barely manage.
Clement, now under Zhao Gongming's pressure, couldn't predict the large-scale situation.
But reason told him that their Thunder Element Spirit Clan members were at a disadvantage.
If nothing changed, their Thunder Element Spirit Clan would soon face defeat on this battlefield, which was well-suited for their strengths.
Just hold on for a while.
Just a bit longer!
That would be enough!
Clement gritted his teeth and once again blocked Zhao Gongming's attack.
Of course, it was a ranged attack, he didn't dare engage in close combat with Zhao Gongming right now.
That Human Clan opponent's close combat ability was terrifying.
And what's worse, no matter what skill he used, the other side would replicate and return it to him.
Clement felt increasingly stifled as he fought.
If it weren't for the distance from Kayadinger being too great, he would definitely switch places with him now.
Kayadinger, who was superior in close combat to him, would be better suited to face his current opponent.
However, what he didn't know was that Kayadinger was thinking the same thing right now.
Facing Nezha, whose close combat ability crushed him, Kayadinger had been cursing Clement for God knows how long.
Facing such an opponent, adept at close combat and with feasible ranged attacks, Clement should have been the one fighting.
After all, he excels in ranged attacking abilities, and if he can maintain distance, his opponent facing him wouldn't stand a chance.
But now it's different, as a hexagonal warrior, no matter the close combat or ranged attacking abilities—or even speed—he was completely outclassed by his opponent.
Under such circumstances, he should have faced the other opponent, quickly defeated him, then joined Clement to deal with this one.
After all, in terms of defense, Clement was much stronger than him.
But now that it's come to this, all Kayadinger could do was to keep wielding his thunderous greatsword, incessantly attacking to find his opponent's weaknesses.
However, his opponent was Nezha.
Any weaknesses were likely intentionally exposed by Nezha.
Thus Kayadinger found the fight to be extremely tough.
Especially after glancing over at Clement's battle and seeing him also being suppressed, Kayadinger's fury intensified.
Initially, he should have opposed the command strategy, then he wouldn't be in this situation.
With such rage in his heart, Kayadinger's movements grew more aggressive.
But this was precisely what Nezha wanted; Nezha's least desire was for his opponent to just defend passively and not attack proactively.
Especially when their powers were even, constant passive defense without counterattacking left him no opening.
Now, though, it's different.
Although the situations for Kayadinger and Clement weren't great, their clansmen had the upper hand against the Human Clan with this terrain.
The problem, however, was that this domination was based on equal numbers of fighters.
Now, after being hit by two of Jiang Yuan's Array Cards, the Thunder Element Spirit Clan had seen their numbers, or rather their combat power, reduced by almost a third.
Under these conditions, the Thunder Element Spirit Clan was at a disadvantage when facing the Human Clan.
Particularly when several powerful Thunder Element Spirit Clan members were delaying the Human Clan's top fighters.
In addition to that, with Shi Ji's Bone Spirits providing assistance at the side, the Thunder Element Spirit Clan was further disadvantaged.
Yet, even so, Clement had no intentions of commanding the Thunder Element Spirit Clan to retreat.
Because he had a plan in reserve.
As long as they could hold out until the reinforcements arrived, they could win this battle.
The backup plan involved the members of the Thunder Element Spirit Clan who were sent to launch a surprise attack on the Human Clan's rear.
Thunderstorm Canyon was a lengthy passageway with only two entrances: one from the Thunder Element Spirit Clan side and the other from the Human Clan side.
What he had orchestrated was to have his people go around and break through the entrance on the Human Clan's side.
If the breakthrough was successful, it would result in a pincer attack; the Human Clan would be surely doomed!
