Chapter 2303: Laughing So Hard Their Teeth Fall Out

Even if their cultivation is low, if we use 500,000 to attack 100,000, we won't let them be so arrogant.

You clearly know the soldiers' cultivation is low, yet you still send troops in numbers of 100,000 and 50,000— that's just sending them to die.

I think making a mistake isn't scary; what's scary is not admitting it! You martial cultivators now, if you are wiped out again, you'll have no ability to resist.

Ye Liuyun first refuted Mengtuo's excuse, then sincerely warned them to recognize their mistakes, lest they be completely exterminated.

Mengtuo was left red-faced and speechless by Ye Liuyun's retort.

Zheng Huan thought about it and felt Ye Liuyun was correct.

Not bad, you're right! When I go back, I'll try my best to persuade the city-state Elder!

Then he again asked Ye Liuyun for advice: 'What do you think we should do?'

First strengthen the city-state's defenses, raise our strength as much as possible, and wait for an opportunity.

Wait until you have absolute advantage before taking action.

We won't wait too long either.

I estimate that the Holy Land army is waiting for reinforcements.

When their reinforcements arrive, we will act against them.

By then you won't need to make any sacrifices—that would be even better.

Ye Liuyun said to them.

They're waiting for reinforcements?

Mengtuo exclaimed in surprise.

We don't have definite evidence; it's just our analysis.

Of course, what I'm saying is just advice for you; you decide yourselves.

I can only guarantee that we will absolutely not help them.

You can trust us on this!

Ye Liuyun spoke to them politely.

He also didn't know whether the locals would believe him.

If they don't believe Ye Liuyun, no matter how he dissuades them, they won't listen.

Anyway, he's said what needed to be said; now we can only hope those who make decisions will calm down.

If they don't believe and they perish, it's their own fault.

Although Ye Liuyun admires their hot-bloodedness, if they can't think rationally, at best they're just elite among soldiers.

Such elite soldiers can be cultivated just as well through the Slave Seal, and it's even safer—there's no need to insist on them.

Then if we decide to attack them, will you help us?

Zheng Huan then asked Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun smiled and countered: 'Why should I help you?'

Zheng Huan immediately added: 'We can provide resources as compensation, and also provide personnel to replenish your troop losses!'

This is what their elders taught him before they came.

So he quickly reacted.

Ye Liuyun also immediately agreed: 'That could work.'

Give me some concrete details; as long as the price is right, we can act.

Thus Zheng Huan and the others brought Ye Liuyun's reply back to the city-state to report to the elders.

After several rounds of discussion, they finally agreed that Ye Liuyun's consumed resources and fallen soldiers would be compensated with five times the resources and martial cultivators of equal cultivation level.

However, when Ye Liuyun needs to act still awaits their orders.

But the manner of Ye Liuyun's action is up to him.

After the agreement was signed, Ye Liuyun then summoned Ye Tiandao, Yuan Hao, and the Tiger King to assign tasks.

They definitely can't take it down themselves.

Moreover, at first they will surely attack the city themselves, causing heavy losses; then the Holy Land army will let them enter the city or launch a sortie when they can barely afford the losses, wiping them out completely.

We must be prepared.

'If they call for our aid during the siege, the Tiger King will lead the half-beast legion to assault the city; after breaching the walls, Tiandao will enter first to kill their leader, then Yuan Hao and the Tiger King will charge in together.'

I will also have the Magic Vine cooperate with you.

'If they call for aid after entering the city and being surrounded, the Tiger King will stand guard outside to prevent the Holy Land army from escaping.'

'Tiandao and the Death Legion will enter the city and, together with local martial cultivators, wipe out the Holy Land army.'

Ye Liuyun assigned tasks to them, studied some implementation details, and then let them go prepare.

The newly equipped gear also lets the soldiers become as familiar as possible with it.

The women and monster beasts around Ye Liuyun also have some who need to practice, and they have prepared to join the battle.

One day later, the locals indeed took action— all martial cultivators surged out of the city in large numbers to surround the city where the Holy Land army is stationed.

Ye Liuyun and some leaders, seeing their disordered marching troops, found it laughable.

'This is completely a loose sand!'

Yuan Hao couldn't help but sigh.

'If they could actually take it down, that would be strange— let's get ready to act!'

The Tiger King said directly.

Ye Liuyun shook his head helplessly: 'The less they realize their shortcomings, the less likely they are to turn to us for help.'

'So many people going to their deaths— what a waste!'

Zhao Hu said regretfully.

"How pitiful, how sorrowful, how lamentable!"

Mo Shaowen on the side also made a lamenting remark.

Everyone silently watched the local Martial Cultivators' movements, watching them split into four routes to surround the Holy Land garrison.

"Idiot!"

Even the half‑beast Tiger King knows that they already didn't have a numerical advantage, yet they still divided into four fronts to attack.

This dispersion obviously made them even less advantaged.

"They treated your warnings as nothing!"

Yuan Hao shook his head helplessly.

"Hmm!"

From the moment they dispatched troops, Ye Liuyun knew this outcome, so he merely observed the battlefield situation, constantly contemplating how to rescue them, without being overly emotional.

However, after the local Martial Cultivators formed the encirclement, they never launched an attack.

A group of city‑state Elders shuttled back and forth among the four directional forces, assigning tasks.

This left Ye Liuyun's side even more dumbfounded.

Some even suspected that the locals had some special method.

"Guess what mood the Holy Land troops inside the city are in now?"

Zhao Hu asked the crowd, making everyone laugh!

The locals were busy for a long while; each directional force was split into five units, apparently to divide into five groups to take turns assaulting the city.

But before the assault could begin, they made another adjustment, pulling back the northern encircling force and leaving a gap on that side.

Then they redistributed that unit evenly among the other forces.

The people on Ye Liuyun's side were about to laugh their teeth off!

Yuan Hao couldn't help but laugh, "I've led troops for so many years, this time truly broadened my horizons!"

Zhao Hu was even more exaggerated, laughing until tears threatened to spill, "This isn't a desperate fight; it's practicing military strategy!"

Mo Shaowen also laughed, "If they keep messing around, the Holy Land soldiers inside the city will go mad! They'll be driven insane by laughter!"

Ye Liuyun was also completely speechless, only shaking his head helplessly.

Even Lei Ming, who never cared about formations, was gnawing on a piece of beast meat while asking Ye Liuyun, "Why haven't they fought yet?

"Are they here to wage war or to make jokes?"
