Chapter 129: Battle in the Phantom Forest

Behind them stood five hundred warriors of his personal guard, all with battle armor covering their bodies and heads, riding on steel-clad horses. They gave off an aura of death, they seemed to be creatures of flesh and metal.
No one dared to look at them directly; they only had the courage to take a rare sideways glance. Lin Yi watched with satisfaction. These two squads were worth his training and time.
A little behind there was another dense crowd. Huashan disciples are a thousand third-class experts, and ten thousand warriors without inner strength. They were not as impressive as the soldiers, but their bravery was also respectable.
By this day, the disciples of Huashan ceased to be caravan leaders and turned into strong warriors. They killed people, saw blood, and fought with honor.
Behind them stood the forces of forty-nine cities, answering the call. A total of more than six thousand people, including more than three hundred second-class experts, two thousand third-class, and more than four thousand experts without inner strength.
Total almost twenty thousand people.
