In the rear of the Central Army, responsible for covering the retreat, was a force of five hundred. Unmounted, they wore only simple light armor, mismatched in style and poorly aligned, resembling a ragtag militia. Yet everyone knew that in terms of combat effectiveness, these five hundred would not be outshone by any of the other four forces, and could even surpass them. This unit included the Mei Clan Master, Mei Rujian, and the Sect Leader Lan Qing—two Zi rank Powerhouses. And those seemingly disorderly warriors each possessed the strength of at least a Fifth Rank Yellow rank Eastern Dragon, which is the Green rank of the Rainbow-grade. It would be difficult for the nations of the continent to assemble such a force of five hundred, especially when they also wielded the unique Dong Long Martial Skills.
