Chapter 3269: with translation of chapter title

The First Clone brought back the soldiers selected by Cui Daoran, reapplied the Slave Seal to them, gave them a quick discipline drill, then issued equipment and let them join the Black Armor Elite Corps to be tempered in actual combat.

Cui Daoran then picked another 30,000, had them fight in threes, selected 10,000, and expanded his bandit troop to 50,000.

The various Leaders casually traded high-realm soldiers for low-realm ones; the Leaders eagerly swapped troops, then reorganized, not even taking the opposing Fire Seal Dynasty army seriously.

Yao Wanhao was also discussing countermeasures with all the Leaders at that moment.

By rights, this large-scale troop swap and reorganization is exactly when they should strike while the chaos is happening, but Ye Liuyun's war chariot equipment now makes them wary.

They also feared that sending troops out would fall into a trap—not only would the dispatched units be annihilated, but they might also suffer a counterattack from Ye Liuyun.

"Their main force hasn't moved; once we attack, we won't be able to withstand their war chariot bombardment, and we might even have our camp seized by them taking advantage."

"Not bad, this should be their lure-the-enemy tactic. Who reorganizes a large army in the midst of battle? They're just trying to lure us into sending troops!"

His subordinates all thought this was Ye Liuyun's lure-the-enemy tactic, and none wanted to face the firepower war chariots and die.

"But if we don't send troops, how long can we hold out? If they attack, can you stop their war chariots?" Yao Wanhao retorted.

He felt that attacking or not attacking now yields the same result; it's better to strike while the chaos is happening. If these armies were his troops, he would definitely send them out.

"But if we don't take the initiative to attack, we can at least buy some time for the dynasty to think of a solution and develop equipment to counter those war chariots." a Leader suggested.

In the end, Yao Wanhao didn't dare take the risk and could only report to the Fire Seal King.

He was merely a temporary army Leader, normally equal to the other Leaders. So he couldn't issue a full-army attack order when all the Leaders opposed it; if it failed, he couldn't explain to the Fire Seal King.

Jiang Yuan Tang indeed also feared total annihilation, ordering them to temporarily refrain from sending troops, focusing on defense, while he goes to gather artifact craftsmen to research countermeasures.

He also only reminded Yao Wanhao: "If he

"they take the initiative to attack, then let the Martial Cultivator experts focus on killing their Leaders!"

Yao Wanhao also immediately began making adjustments, releasing more small warships and flying boats, and assigning the large army's remaining large warships to guard there.

"Haha, they've been scared into not daring to send troops!" Yu Xiaofeng saw the Fire Seal Dynasty army adopting a defensive stance and couldn't help laughing. Please download the Love Read app for the latest content.

"Is it our turn to act now?" Ye Liuyun was getting impatient.

Yu Xiaofeng also nodded: "Don't rush, we can discuss a bit before acting; there's still time. Even if they start now making equipment to counter the firepower war chariots, they won't be able to equip the main army within two months."

We have plenty of time. It's also a good chance to let those Leaders first reorganize the army, strengthen defensive strength before attacking, to avoid accidents.

Over these few days, you'll have to work hard to strengthen surveillance; estimate that if a frontal assault won't work, they'll think of other methods. Need to guard against sneak attacks and assassinations!

"Good!" Ye Liuyun also thought it made sense, so he temporarily stopped cultivating and, together with his Second Clone, guarded the main commander's tent, monitoring the outside situation.

All the army Leaders immediately began reorganizing the army and training.

Meanwhile, at Pei Yong's side, another 260,000 lower-realm soldiers appeared. He divided these soldiers by realm into units, then had the Demon Race send out same-realm demon soldiers to fight them.

Only the strong are kept; the weak are directly taken by the Demon Race and Ancient Demon Race as food and cultivation resources.

The Demon Race and Ancient Demon Race actually welcome this fighting method, and from the First Clone's Space World they also recruited another 40,000 new soldiers to let these new soldiers participate in this combat training.

These low-realm soldiers also happen to give their new recruits practice and provide resources.

Thus, that uninhabited planet sees constant fighting every day, with at least 10,000 soldiers killed each day.

They don't hide it, letting everyone see. Not only are the Fire Seal Dynasty armies shocked, but even the captured Leaders and Reinforcement Troops are filled with emotion.

"This training method is truly brutal! How many people does it take to raise an army?"

"Good thing I was picked for another unit; otherwise I'd be dead by now!"

And just when everyone thought Ye Liuyun's side was going to

All the training and reorganization would end, at least taking a month, but the 100,000-strong main army and 10,000 Black Armor soldiers they left in the central command suddenly went via Teleportation Array to the forward outpost planet.

Then the 100,000-strong main army and the Black Armor Elite Corps led the way, followed by two divisions of the Demon Race army, then Cui Daoran's 30,000 bandit troop soldiers and three divisions of the Death Legion army followed, marching mightily toward the Fire Seal Dynasty army.

Yao Wanhao saw the movement of the 100,000-strong main army and the Black Armor Elite Corps, knowing something big was about to happen; he didn't expect Ye Liuyun to launch an attack so quickly.

"All-out defense. Martial Cultivator experts prepare to act!"

Yao Wanhao gave an order, letting some outer flying boats and warships first block, then having the 300,000-strong army board warships and line up, preparing to intercept.

The other seven army divisions began to slowly withdraw, opening distance, preparing for a full retreat.

Xiao Heng's army at the forefront, upon seeing some flying boats and warships approaching, immediately deployed fifty firepower war chariots and began bombardment; those flying boats and warships were destroyed before they could get close.

At the same time, the two divisions of the Demon Race army also deployed firepower war chariots to help intercept the flying boats and warships on the flanks. These 150 war chariots were enough to seal off this sector of Xingkong, preventing any flying boat or warship from passing. Even void-tier flying boats and warships were likewise destroyed.

The 300,000-strong Fire Seal Dynasty army lined up to meet the enemy were now all worried. All their shield-bearing troops were concentrated at the front, but seeing this powerful firepower bombardment, they knew they definitely couldn't withstand it.

However, Ye Liuyun's army advanced quickly, giving them no time to react; the firepower war chariots quickly cleared away any flying boats or warships that dared approach, and had already advanced toward them.

At the same time, Jiang Yuanhai's army suddenly began boarding ships, and the warships then swept around to the rear of the Fire Seal Dynasty army.

Yao Wanhao closely watched the battlefield situation and the movements of Jiang Yuanhai's army. He guessed Jiang Yuanhai was coming to intercept their retreating army.

How Jiang Yuanhai will act depends on the battlefield's outcome. But for now, his 300,000-strong army surely has no chance of victory; it all hinges on those Martial Cultivator experts' assassinations.
