Chapter 3786: A Desperate Gamble

"They're all useless! You couldn't handle even Ye Liuyun, and now Guǐ Sòu shows up! Saying there's no connection between the two, I don't believe it!" Wang Tianqi once again lost his temper with Bai Yunmu.

Bai Yunmu also thought so, but they still couldn't do anything.

Ye Liuyun has already stepped forward openly, yet Wang Tianqi just can't deal with him.

Letting Wang Tianqi act himself, he still isn't sure he can withstand Ye Liuyun's Technique, and doesn't dare risk his life. As for anyone else, there's no need to think—no one can kill Ye Liuyun.

Guǐ Sòu stays in the shadows, like a ghost; they try to strike but can't find a target, so they can only hold them off.

"Since that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless! Dig a passage through the monster world, extending into the four regions—east, south, west, and north—so that he too will be busy dealing with those monsters.

At the same time, gather five hundred thousand Imperial Guard to prepare an assault on the Western Region. This time, I will make Ye Liuyun taste the feeling of being overwhelmed!"

Wang Tianqi grew fierce, ordering Bai Yunmu to go down and prepare, to go all‑out against Ye Liuyun.

Wang Tianqi was stunned for a while, opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing, and went down to carry out the orders.

From Wang Tianqi's perspective, he truly had no better solution; if he didn't make a bold move now, there would be no hope of turning the tide.

However, Bai Yunmu didn't expect that Wang Tianqi's defensive gamble wasn't to first fight the monsters, but to go all out with Ye Liuyun for mutual destruction.

In such a moment, he knew his words were useless; he could only execute, and as for how the world would change once those passages opened, he could only pray.

On Ye Liuyun's side, he still doesn't know what's happening inside the monster world. He never sent anyone to monitor it, and never imagined Wang Tianqi would dare do this.

However, Yu Xiaofeng sent scouts to watch the Imperial Guard. When the Imperial Guard gathered, Yu Xiaofeng immediately sensed that they were about to make a big move and promptly communicated with Ye Liuyun.

"Prepare for battle! In case Wang Tianqi panics and makes a desperate move!" Ye Liuyun said without hesitation. After securing the Eastern Region, even if Wang Tianqi doesn't take the initiative, he will still test Wang Tianqi.

Moreover, the Eastern Region is now on the brink of collapse, and Wang Tianqi is very likely to take a desperate gamble.

Ye Liuyun quietly returned to the Western Region, leaving the hundreds of Metal Puppets from the Cave Heaven Realm and three hundred upgraded firepower warcars in Yu Xiaofeng's hands.

This warcar has always been overseen by Tong Xin, who leads a team of alchemists in its improvement. Sun Queyi offered some suggestions. He is busy forging Metal Puppets and truly has no time to personally work on upgrading the warcar.

Although these warcars aren't the final version, they can still be used to suppress early‑stage Martial Cultivators of the Cave Heaven Realm. These three hundred warcars were also prepared to guard against Wang Tianqi's sudden deployment.

The ten thousand Mercenaries of the Great Void Ninth Level that were given to Yu Xiaofeng have already been assigned to the various armies; now, adding these Cave Heaven Realm Metal Puppets and firepower warcars, they can even withstand a concentrated Imperial Guard offensive.

Among these puppets, nearly a hundred are at the fourth to fifth levels of the Cave Heaven Realm, already enough to contend with the strong ones in the Imperial Guard.

Chen Haisheng also prepared to cut off the Teleportation Array; once battle begins, he will immediately sever the Western Region's Teleportation Array to prevent the enemy from using it to cause trouble.

The Demon Race uses upgraded heavy crossbows that can also block the impact. Ye Liuyun teleports a Black Tower over there, handing the demon planet within the Space World to the Dragon Beasts, enlisting them to help defend Black Mountain. Once Black Mountain is under pressure, the Dragon Beasts will deploy twenty thousand Cave Heaven Realm demons.

The weakest is in the Northern Region under Pei Yong; the soldiers there have poorer equipment and combat power. Though trained, they are only a reserve for the Death Legion, and that reserve numbers only two hundred thousand. So Ye Liuyun must guard it personally.

"How many Skeleton Puppets have been forged?" Ye Liuyun asked Sun Queyi.

"Not many, two thousand!" Sun Queyi laughed.

"Two thousand?" Ye Liuyun was startled. In such a short time, they managed to forge that many Skeleton Puppets.

"Hmm, I assigned the alchemists to divide the work, each making a portion, so efficiency is high. Moreover, the materials were pre‑refined. In half a month, another thousand will be forged," Sun Queyi explained.

"Impressive! That's enough!" Ye Liuyun truly admired Sun Queyi. This fellow is indeed a gadget‑obsessed genius.

With these two thousand Skeleton Puppets at the Cultivation realm, Ye Liuyun feels that if Wang Tianqi truly seeks death, he'll definitely suffer a huge loss this time.

However, he didn't rush straight to the Northern Region. He will wait and see where Wang Tianqi's main offensive lies. By his estimate, it shouldn't be the North.

The North yields little profit, so for Wang Tianqi, conquering it holds little significance. The Western Region is Ye Liuyun's old stronghold, while the Southern Region is his strongest rear support.

If Wang Tianqi deploys troops, he will likely choose the Western or Southern Region.

Of course, Wang Tianqi's side has already noticed that Ye Liuyun's massive army is also on standby.

"Heh heh, this time I'll catch you off guard, let's see how you handle those monsters!"

Wang Tianqi also knows Ye Liuyun's overall combat power. He won't deploy troops first; he'll wait until the passages to the monster world are opened and Ye Liuyun becomes busy blocking those passages before he sends his forces.

At this moment, Ye Liuyun and Yu Xiaofeng are both speculating what Wang Tianqi is waiting for. They both see that Wang Tianqi is deliberately stalling.

The Li Family's Chengyuan Shanghui, also under the Central Dynasty's arrangement, is helping gather intelligence.

"We were careless this time; we should have sent more scouts earlier to monitor the dynasty's movements. There must be places we missed!" Yu Xiaofeng told Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun also admitted it was his carelessness.

"Yes, I underestimated them! I've already asked Wang Wenli to send more Mercenaries over, to mend the fence after the sheep are lost; hopefully it's not too late!"

Soon, Ye Liuyun also received the report sent back by the Li Family's scouts.

"It seems related to the monster world. However, the main operations are all inside the monster world; nothing has been heard outside yet. And the passages into the monster world are temporarily sealed!"

After Ye Liuyun and Yu Xiaofeng received this vague information, they still couldn't guess what Wang Tianqi intended to do.

"No more waiting, send troops out first and test!"

Yu Xiaofeng thought that further delay would sap the soldiers' morale.

"Alright then! The southwest two routes will simultaneously attack the border!" Ye Liuyun also made the decision, ordering the main army to strike proactively!

At the same time, Chen Haisheng immediately cut off the Central Dynasty's Teleportation Array, completely isolating the Central Dynasty.

The Death Legion's five hundred thousand troops set out from the planet nearest to the Central Dynasty, marching toward the Central Dynasty.

At the same time, the Demon Race's three hundred thousand army also advances from the Southern Region toward the Central Dynasty.
