Anping Road and Nanxiang Road are much safer than the other routes once you get past the Enchanting Array.
That’s because these two routes can be supported in ti by the three main armies at the front line.
What if Sacrificial Soul Pass wants to cause trouble?
That would be perfect; there’s no need to attack their cities anymore. We can just focus on striking their reinforcent troops.
A murmur ran through the people below, as Zhao Xing’s orders seed sowhat unbelievable.
He was just one person, yet he was going to lead several supply teams.
And the Enchanting Array was now more formidable than before, guarded by ghostly armies. Many felt Zhao Xing had lost his mind.
But here, Zhao Xing held the highest authority!
Even if there were objections, he could still carry out what he wanted to do.
Orders were issued and executed on the sa day.
All supply teams on the original routes that hadn’t departed were halted, and any that had just left were pursued and ordered to return to Tonghuo City, avoiding going around enemy-occupied areas.
His actions imdiately triggered a reaction from the front lines.
Liao Rulong, Xia Jing, Chen Shijie, Wen Shaoyang, and others learned of the news and promptly held a temporary eting through Earth Mirror.
"You want to take Anping Road and Nanxiang Road? Can it be done?" Wen Shaoyang asked.
"It can be done!" Zhao Xing said, "Keep an eye on the movents along the two roads, and be ready to strike at any reinforcent troops sent by Sacrificial Soul Pass. With this route change, Sacrificial Soul Pass won’t sit idly by, which presents us with an opportunity."
Seeing Zhao Xing so confident, no one questioned him further.
Xia Jing and Chen Shijie both cautioned Zhao Xing to be careful, then ended the communication to discuss their sniping plans.
On the other side, Qi Yuan Army, Yi Yue, and Nangong Ye also had a private eting.
"Zhao Xing of the Divine Might Army says he’s going to take Anping Road and Nanxiang Road, and he wants us to support the supply teams at any ti and attack the reinforcent troops from Sacrificial Soul Pass," Qi Yuan Army said, "Nangong, what do you think?"
"Can he really get through the Enchanting Array?" Nangong Ye frowned, "If he can’t make it, it will not only be a waste of our military strength but also lead to the collapse of our supply lines."
"Let him try." Yi Yue said, "He has already promised that if he fails, he’ll let us send our own people over."
"Alright, then let’s take this risk with him this ti," Qi Yuan Army said, "His performance, as well as that of the Divine Might Army, has been fairly comndable so far. If he doesn’t succeed, we’ll suggest alternatives."
To be honest, Qi Yuan Army, Yi Yue, and Nangong Ye were all quite satisfied with the Divine Might Army thus far.
Aside from Yi Yue having so issues with Zhao Xing’s previous delays, overall, Zhao Xing had done his job well.
If it had been their own people, they doubted anyone could have done better.
If Zhao Xing succeeds, then the existing cooperation will continue.
If Zhao Xing fails, they will have an excuse to send in more troops and increase their say within the Six Armies Alliance, or even act independently.
anwhile, the commanders on Sacrificial Soul Pass’s side were also in discussion.
Morick and Qi Yuanzi were in charge of the deploynt of the section of the Enchanting Array on Anping Road, and they now received the coalition leader’s sniping order.
"Zhao Xing from Tonghuo City, he’s not really going to challenge the Enchanting Array, is he?" Morick found the order unbelievable, "He’s got guts, huh?"
"The supply teams on other routes have been withdrawn; that’s a fact," Qi Yuanzi said, "As for whether he’s really attempting the crossing or staging a feint, whether there’s a plot or not, we’ll know once we try."
"Morick, we need to take this seriously. If he really manages to make it through the Array on Anping Road, we’ll have to retreat," Qi Yuanzi said with a furrowed brow, "I always had the feeling this man is not simple. Prepare to pull back to Sacrificial Soul Pass."
For the past month, Zhao Xing had been able to maintain the supply to the front-line armies under imnse pressure, which was beyond Qi Yuanzi’s expectations.
A saturation transport thod was not sothing just anyone could implent—the carrying capacity of Tonghuo City and the production and reserves of military supplies had surpassed their calculations.
If Zhao Xing could also overco the Enchanting Array, then he and Morick’s barbarian army shouldn’t count on staying along Anping Road any longer; it would be better to quickly retreat back inside the Pass.
Among the allied forces of various tribes at Sacrificial Soul Pass, Morick’s numbers and say held the least weight. If Sacrificial Soul Pass fell, they wouldn’t have to bear the primary responsibility.
"If we lose Sacrificial Soul Pass, we can always take it back later, but if we lose our lives, that’s not sothing you can retrieve," he said.
"You’re right," Morick wholeheartedly agreed, being from the Holy Spirit Royal Court and defending the Fire Demon Territory under the Golden Feather Royal Court, he wasn’t particularly committed—after all, it wasn’t his own holand.
.....
"Advance the Dragon Bone Warships by one thousand two hundred ters, Land Flying Boat Camp retreat six hundred ters!"
"Turn the Sea-covering Ship to full left rudder!"
On a warship at low altitude on Anping Road, Zhao Xing stood on the bow, constantly issuing orders.
"Che Shihai, you’re flying too high, descend 200 ters!"
"Boss, if I descend another two hundred ters, I’m going to crash into the mountain!"
"When I say descent, just do it—that’s an illusion!"
"Yes!" Che Shihai gritted his teeth, widened his eyes, and descended two hundred ters, heading straight for the mountain ahead.
Strangely enough, he felt as though he was about to crash, but the Flying Boat he controlled flew past it anyway.
As the leading Flying Boat passed, those behind followed suit, one after another.
"Damn, this is really freaky," Che Shihai mumbled, sweating in his palms.
He had been flying for two hours, experiencing this kind of thing several tis.
But each ti, he couldn’t help but tremble.
That Enchanting Array was playing tricks with his senses, affecting his Life Soul.
It instilled him with an instinctual fear, a sense of dread.
"Wang Ji, prepare the Fire Crossbow Camp on the Dragon Bone Warships!"
"Left hold, aim for the fourth hexagram position, the Gen position, the middle wind area, fire a saturation volley after ten breaths!"
"Don’t stop until I say so."
"Yes!" Wang Ji imdiately shouted to the chanical Master controlling the warship: "Left hold Fire Crossbow Camp, get ready, adjust the Crossbow Cannons to the fourth hexagram position for a full volley, target area: Gen position, the middle wind area!"
