Chapter 805: Chapter 795: Eating from Both Families
“Report to the Altar Master, the coalition forces of the Longevity Sect and the Heavenly Net Sect have already split into three routes, advancing towards our three main defense zones!”
“Report to the Altar Master, the number of troops from the Longevity Sect and the Heavenly Net Sect’s three routes has been identified. Each of the two routes targeting the Eastern Mine Vein Defense Area and the Southern Mining Vein Defense Area includes about twenty Vein Forging Realm Martial Artists and less than a hundred Soul Sea Realm Martial Artists. However, they all have Heaven Rank mounts for rapid mobility!
The route advancing towards our Northern Spirit Crystal Vein Defense Zone is the main force, comprising approximately one hundred and fifty Vein Forging Realm Martial Artists and about eight hundred Soul Sea Realm Martial Artists, expected to arrive in fifteen minutes!”
“Report to the Altar Master, the Brotherhood outside the city has made a large-scale move, led personally by the Brotherhood’s Master Yuen An. Over eighty Vein Forging Realm Martial Artists and five hundred Soul Sea Realm Martial Artists have departed, and their current direction is towards our Northern Spirit Crystal Vein Defense Zone!”
…..
“Report to the Altar Master, the scouts sent by the Longevity Sect and the Heavenly Net Sect have already encountered our scouts, with casualties on both sides!”
“Report to the Altar Master, the Flying Tiger Hall has made no movents, but there are constant returns of idle Flying Tiger Hall Tiger Guards from outside!”
Within the main altar of the Red Fire Subdivision, intelligence reports, like snowflakes, fell on Ye Zhen’s hands one after another. Outside, herald Martial Artists quickly and loudly reported intelligence one after another, making Hong Jiyin, Zuo Xiong, Yua Qianlou, and the Second and Third Commanders of Red Fire Subdivision’s Martial Guards increasingly solemn, increasingly puzzled, and increasingly astonished!
However, as the intelligence beca more detailed, the frequency of reports gradually slowed down. Ye Zhen casually handed the Branch Altar’s Talisman Lead to the herald Martial Artist and looked towards his confidants in the hall.
At the instant Ye Zhen’s gaze swept over, Hong Jiyin, Zuo Xiong, Yua Qianlou, and the Second and Third Commanders of Red Fire Subdivision’s Martial Guards all cupped their hands towards Ye Zhen, with faces full of astonishnt.
Especially those skilled in battle command like Hong Jiyin, and the Second Martial Guard Commander Chen Qiang, who originally guarded the Eastern Mine Vein Defense Area, and the Third Martial Guard Commander Sang Jiu, who guarded the Southern Mining Vein Defense Area, looked at Ye Zhen with unparalleled shock!
“The Altar Master’s foresight is admirable to us subordinates!”
Ye Zhen smiled and shook his head, “This is just commanding a few troops, involving three or four positions of three parties, it’s not really foresight. If you carefully think and study, the feasible strategies for the Longevity Sect and the Heavenly Net Sect are just a few!”
If soone else said this, Deputy Altar Master Hong Jiyin, who is adept at strategy, would surely scoff, thinking it bragging, and that even bragging shouldn’t be like this.
But such words, which resembled bragging, coming from Ye Zhen’s mouth, made them all completely convinced, without a single thought of it being braggadocio.
Because the intelligence reports gathering before them seem to match the Altar Master’s predictions, almost exactly.
Since three days ago, Altar Master Ye Zhen had made various arrangents and personnel transfers concerning the possible strategies of the coalition forces of the Longevity Sect and the Heavenly Net Sect. They all participated and witnessed it all, hence their astonishnt now!
Three days ago, Ye Zhen determined that once the Longevity Sect and the Heavenly Net Sect launched an attack, they would definitely not attack Red Fire Branch Altar directly.
The Red Fire Subdivision has been managed by the Sun and Moon Divine Sect for decades, with layered defensive arrays. The sa number of Martial Artists can definitely withstand the attack of twice the number of enemy forces.
The Longevity Sect and the Heavenly Net Sect will surely first attack the three main defense zones of the Red Fire Subdivision, thereby forcing the main Martial Artists within the Red Fire Subdivision to lose their defensive advantage and engage in decisive battles with the main forces of the Red Fire Subdivision in the wild.
Moreover, Ye Zhen determined that the main direction of attack by the Longevity Sect and the Heavenly Net Sect would likely start from the Northern Spirit Crystal Vein.
If the main forces of the Red Fire Subdivision do not erge when attacking the Northern Spirit Crystal Vein, then the coalition forces will seize the Northern Spirit Crystal Vein in one go, and subsequently attack the Eastern and Southern Mine Vein Defense Areas one after another. In this situation, the main forces of the Red Fire Subdivision must co out, otherwise, the territory of Red Fire Martial City will be lost altogether.
In such a situation, the coalition force of the Longevity Sect and the Heavenly Net Sect would definitely use this strategy!
Three days ago, although Ye Zhen’s reasoning made sense, everyone still held a skeptical view, especially the two Martial Guard Commanders Chen Qiang and Sang Jiu, who were very dissatisfied with Ye Zhen’s decision to relocate them from their defense zones and to quietly transfer most of the Martial Artists from the defense zones.
They even cautioned Ye Zhen that if the loss of Eastern and Southern Mine Vein Defense Areas occur due to Ye Zhen’s troop movents, it would be entirely Ye Zhen’s responsibility!
Ye Zhen did not explain, saying only four words—Execute the Order!
As a commander who has led millions of troops, commanding thousands of troops and carrying out strategic exchanges with several gang leaders is hardly worth Ye Zhen’s concern.
Of course, if the coalition forces of the Longevity Sect and the Heavenly Net Sect were foolish enough to directly attack the Red Fire Subdivision head-on, then Ye Zhen would have nothing to say.
Facts have proved that the Longevity Sect and the Heavenly Net Sect are not that foolish!
“This is rely predicting the enemy. We can celebrate the Altar Master’s victory after this battle truly concludes.
The war has just begun!
Alright, now, proceed according to the plan!”
“Yes!”
With uniform voices, the high officials of the Red Fire Subdivision of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect exited the Council Hall one after another, and the sounds of orders echoed within the Red Fire Subdivision.
In fact, before the allied forces of the Longevity Sect and the Heavenly Net Sect were dispatched, Ye Zhen had already made a contingency plan!
Of course, over the past few days, the Longevity Sect and the Heavenly Net Sect, including the Flying Tiger Hall, have not relaxed their surveillance on the Red Fire Subdivision. So how did Ye Zhen manage to avoid their attention and carry out such a large-scale personnel movent?
The resettlent of the large number of martial artists from the Three Great Alliances that Ye Zhen recruited amidst the chaos five days ago provided the best cover for Ye Zhen, allowing him to complete all these movents quietly!
“Lord, the personnel have gathered and are ready to set out at any ti!” Hong Jiyin entered the council hall!
Without looking up, Ye Zhen asked, “Where have the allied forces of the Longevity Sect and the Heavenly Net Sect reached? Have they arrived at the designated location?”
“Reporting to the Lord, according to the latest intelligence, the vanguard of the Longevity Sect and the Heavenly Net Sect has arrived at the designated location!”
“Good, set off!” Ye Zhen rose to his full height and strode out of the council hall!
…..
Inside the Sun and Moon Divine Sect Main Temple in Qinglan Martial Capital, Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong, whose face still appeared sowhat pale, looked at a piece of intelligence with a bitter smile on his face. “This kid, is he so eager to battle against the Longevity Sect and the Heavenly Net Sect? Can’t he stall for a few more days? If he stalls a bit longer, I might be able to free my hands!”
“Sect Leader, this mont of decisive battle, even if Lord Ye wants to stall, he can’t. The Longevity Sect and the Heavenly Net Sect are pressing hard!” The Shadow Moon Guard Commander appeared silently behind Jian Qianxiong, only that today his body was a bit stooped, occasionally coughing lightly!
Jian Qianxiong suddenly laughed, “Old ghost, if I risk another half year of rest to send you to the battlefield of the Red Fire Subdivision in the blink of an eye, what do you think?”
“It’s hard to say. Even if I go, at most, I can increase the odds of winning this decisive battle by one or two percent. However, if I appear on the battlefield of Red Fire Martial City, the Longevity Sect and the Heavenly Net Sect might launch another allied attack on our main temple, and the main temple may not be able to withstand it!”
The Shadow Moon Guard Commander sneered, “Sect Leader, such a foolish idea coming from you really makes ….”
His words caused Jian Qianxiong to let out a bitter smile, “I’m naturally not so foolish, but I was forced to this point!”
“Sect Leader, are you referring to Lady Qingyue?” The Shadow Moon Guard Commander frowned, “If it weren’t for my close watch, Lady Qingyue might have already run off to Red Fire Martial City!”
“Alas, once a girl grows up, you can’t keep her…..” Jian Qianxiong sighed softly. Another talisman light fell from outside the hall into Jian Qianxiong’s hand, making his expression suddenly beco extrely tense, “Has the main force of the Red Fire Subdivision also moved out? The decisive battle has finally begun!”
…..
Inside the Red Fire Martial City, as a dark mass of figures soared into the sky from the Red Fire Subdivision, most of the independent cultivators’ eyes revealed fear, desperately restraining their Qi, retreating as far as possible, for at tis like this, martial artist groups are the most unreasonable.
However, within the Flying Tiger Hall, there was excitent all around.
Beneath Hall Master Heu Zixiong, the Commander of the Black Tiger Guards Jiangg Biao, the Commander of White Tiger Guard Lio Jiang, the Golden Tiger Guard Commander Zhu Huayu, and others were all gathered in the council hall, each rubbing their fists, their faces filled with excitent!
“Everyone, the allied forces of the Longevity Sect and Heavenly Net Sect have clashed with the Red Fire Subdivision. This is our great opportunity to unify Red Fire Martial City, and we must not let it slip by!” Heu Zixiong exclaid excitedly, his face slightly flushed with excitent.
He well understood the significance of unifying Red Fire Martial City. In fact, without completely unifying Red Fire Martial City, as long as he controls eighty percent of Red Fire Martial City’s personnel, the other side will fully assist him in breaking through to the Establishnt King.
Once he breaks through, his life will be entirely different!
This alone is worth all his efforts!
“Hall Master, with the Red Fire Subdivision empty, why don’t we go and seize it now?” The Xuanhu Guard Commander was sowhat excited.
“It’s useless!” Jiangg Biao shouted, “Even if we take the Red Fire Subdivision, at most we’ll grab a bit of inventory, having no relation to our grand sche to unify Red Fire Martial City.
We must wait, just wait, for the Longevity Sect and Heavenly Net Sect to fight the Red Fire Subdivision to mutual exhaustion, perhaps even until a victor erges, then move out in one strike, devour both sides, and seize the greatest benefits!”
Hearing this, the already prepared Flying Tiger Hall Master Heu Zixiong smiled, “Exactly, like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. We’ll wait for them to exhaust each other, and then devour both sides!”
“Hall Master is wise!” The four great tiger guard commanders all simultaneously complinted Heu Zixiong!
“Hahahaha,” Heu Zixiong laughed heartily, his expression suddenly solemn, issuing orders one by one!
“Order all scouts from each guard to move out, reporting any changes on the battlefield without missing a detail!”
“Order all forces outside to return quickly, anyone not back within two hours will be dealt with according to hall rules!”
