Now reading: Chapter 1656 - 22: Wang, We've Lost Our Home! from This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable, a Action novel by Runaway BBQ Pork Bun.

Outside Guangling Pass, signal towers once stood densely, strategically set up by the Martial Debate Hall to serve as a warning system.

The selection of locations for these towers is extrely stringent and detailed, ensuring that from the high platform of any tower, at least two neighboring towers can be seen, with two Cultivators assigned to each tower, rotating shifts.

Yes, visible.

Because with the diverse thods of the Demon Race, they are fully capable of capturing the towers swiftly, leaving the Cultivators no ti to send out ssages.

However, visibility changes things; no matter how varied the Demon Race's tactics, they can't deceive, thus providing precious reaction ti for Guangling Pass.

It's precisely due to this seemingly grounded system of towers that even when the Black Armor Domain demons suddenly rose up and flattened thirty-one cities outside of Guangling Pass, the Central Martial Domain reacted in ti, preventing further losses.

Facing the complete onslaught of the Black Armor Domain demons, Guangling Pass's response was straightforward.

Abandon the deep defense outside the pass entirely and concentrate all main forces within the pass.

This is a very wise move.

Abandonnt is sothing that must be learned in war.

Undoubtedly, this day was a disaster for the Central Martial Domain, but the Human Race never lacks the courage to resist calamity.

Moreover, it's not completely hopeless.

Guangling Pass has the Ancestral Taoist's Formation.

All Sect Cultivators know one thing in the Cultivation World, attacking the Mountain Gate Array is sothing no sect wants to do.

In front of the Mountain Gate Array, built over ten or even a hundred years with imnse foundation, attackers often suffer far more losses than defenders.

As for how much more, it's determined by the strength of the Formation.

Even if a strong side opts for a frontal assault on the Mountain Gate Array, even if successful, the losses are often unacceptable.

Therefore, in most sect conflicts, Cultivators tend to employ ambushes, intimidation, espionage, and sowing discord.

The Ancestral Taoist's Formation is unquestionably the most powerful array in the world.

Simply its capacity to accommodate so many Cultivators from Guangling Pass attacking together shows its terrifying nature.

Over the years, with the support of the eight Ancestral Daoist Great Formations, the Human Race has managed to stand against the Demon Race.

Even Dragon City Pass was breached internally by the Heart Demon tribe after a thousand-year operation.

Cultivators of Guangling Pass also know one thing, the Black Armor Domain coalition is not in an optimistic situation. They must end this war quickly lest their rear becos unstable.

Ten years is a major threshold, the first ten years are undoubtedly when the Demon Race's offensive is most fierce and their morale strongest. After this period, the Demonic Cultivators' determination, survival instinct, and confidence will all decline.

Conversely, seeing the Black Armor Domain failing to capture Guangling Pass after such prolonged fierce consumption with the Human Cultivators, other demons are bound to rejoice, gloat, or even create trouble.

With hope in sight, Cultivators of Guangling Pass have the faith to hold on.

Moreover, behind them lies their holand, which is a reason they cannot retreat.

When it cos to war, aside from sheer power, isn't it ultimately about mindset and belief?

Additionally, the Human Race has another advantage.

In the Cultivation Realm, the core force for attacking arrays is typically Dharma Cultivation, if not, then at least Spiritual Cultivator, which is their advantage.

Because in specific array offensives, Dharma Cultivation has ample ti to brew Forbidden Techniques and Secret Techniques that they cannot use in typical Magical Combat, known as "Countdown Ultimate Skills."

However, unfortunately, the Demon Race's cultivation system lacks the Dharma Cultivation group.

The Demonic Cultivation system is bloodline-based, extending powerful Divine Demon Bodies. Though not lacking in ranged attacks, it's mainly close-combat focused, akin to Body Cultivation.

To put it simply, they are a group of brutes, not good at attacking formations.

...

War among Cultivators is far from as simple as one might imagine.

Even mundane wars between two nations can last years.

If supplies are adequate, a siege could even last for ten years.

And it's even more so for Cultivator wars.

Because for Cultivators, there is no issue of supplies.

As long as their Mana and energy are abundant, they can continue fighting.

Moreover, these are wars between two domains, each backed by an entire great domain providing logistical support.

The Demon Race's goal of the Black Armor Domain is to quickly capture Guangling Pass, but in the expectations of the four Asura Kings, this "quick" ans within ten years.

The Demon Race's attack on the Do Formation of Guangling Pass has been ongoing—the Guardian Formation of Guangling Pass, known as the Do.

Yet, there are no signs of a breakthrough.

With profound Formation expertise, a rich two-thousand-year domain repository, and a united front of Cultivators, Guangling Pass defends firmly.

When the opponent relies on fortifications to play turtle, it's extrely troubleso for attackers.

Of course, playing turtle has its drawbacks; for Guangling Pass, the best outco in this battle is not losing.

Cultivators of Guangling Pass are split into two groups.

One group is responsible for overseeing the Formation defense—as the power of the array itself is insufficient for this level of warfare, Cultivators must enter various Formation Points to strengthen the Do Formation.

Those overseeing the array are then divided into three waves.

When the Mana of the first wave of Cultivators is exhausted, the second wave imdiately takes over.
