Chapter 635

「After solemn discussion at the City Lord's Mansion, it was unanimously decided to dispatch troops today to attack the False Dao Alliance! 」

「Order the Soaring Clouds Dynasty to mobilize ten million elite troops, the Eternal Night Empire ten million elite troops, the Azure Cloud Army Corps three million elite soldiers, altogether raising a force of twenty-three million! 」

「Order General Jun Jian Tian as the army's supreme commander, order General Zhao Huang and General Feng Yan as the army's vice commanders. 」

「Order Black Emperor General and Little White General as the army's Chief Guardian. 」

「Order Fierce Heaven General and Heaven-Swallowing General as the army's vanguard generals, leading five hundred thousand Azure Cloud elite troops to open the way for the army. 」

「Order Water Immortal Elder and Dark Night Elder as the Chief Guardians of Azure Han Immortal Continent, stationed there, no mistakes allowed. 」

Shi Hao held the City Lord's supreme sword, his expression stern as he acknowledged each command.

After speaking, those whose names were called, in unison, clasped their fists and said: "Follow orders!"

This battle plan was not thought up on the spur of the moment; it had been planned long ago and rehearsed countless times.

Everything is ready, only the eastern wind is lacking; now the moment has arrived.

Their Azure Han Immortal Continent, as the forward base for attacking the Immortal Rainbow Dao Region, has temporal and geographical advantages, but also great risk; once an isolated army advances deep, it easily gets mired, and the whole army could be annihilated.

But don't forget, the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect still has a very important force in the Immortal Rainbow Dao Region: the Dark Tower located in the Dark Realm Forbidden Zone of Golden Feather Immortal Province.

Therefore Shi Hao and company decided not to march directly on the False Dao Alliance's main base, Ink Shadow Immortal Continent, but to advance toward Golden Feather Immortal Continent, join forces with the Dark Tower there, then easily take all of Golden Feather before marching on Ink Shadow.

When the allied forces from the Nine Heavens and Vast Ancient arrive, we can form a front-and-rear pincer against the False Dao Alliance, ensuring it cannot attend to both ends.

By then, no matter how you look at it, the forces in the decisive battle will be two and a half Dao Regions versus half a Dao Region, the advantage is ours!

「Besides this, any cultivators and forces loyal to the Azure Cloud may join the march or independently unite to attack the False Dao Alliance; after the war ends, we will uniformly reward those cultivators and forces with merit. 」

As soon as Shi Hao said this, the square and outskirts immediately erupted in earth-shaking cheers!

That was the cry of countless Azure Han citizens! It was the joyous voice of those who had long resented the False Dao Alliance and could now vent their grievances, and also the excited voice of countless who had long aspired to achieve merit.

After the scene returned to solemn silence, Shi Hao raised the City Lord's sword and gazed at the five hundred thousand elite troops of the Azure Cloud Army Corps below.

「Azure Cloud soldiers, as the vanguard, loudly tell me, are you afraid? 」

「Not afraid! Not afraid! Not afraid! 」

「Victory! Victory! Victory! 」

A deeper, richer voice, laden with intense killing intent, once again tore through the heavens!

「Good! 」

「Convey the City Lord's order, Azure Cloud Vanguard Army Corps. 」

「March forth! 」

At the same time, the outskirts of Golden Feather Immortal Continent.

Outside the Dark Realm Forbidden Zone, here it remains as peaceful and tranquil as usual.

In fact, judging by geography, the Dark Realm Forbidden Zone lies even deeper within the False Dao Alliance's main base than the Azure Han Immortal Continent, making its position rather awkward.

The reputation of the Unsurpassed Tower, the Azure Cloud Dark Tower, had already risen greatly before this great war.

After the Righteous Dao Alliance was formed and expanded outward, this place likewise became a thorn in their eye, a splinter in their flesh.

But without absolute certainty of victory, they likewise dared not launch a full-scale attack, only daring small-scale harassments like those against the Azure Han Immortal Continent, but the results were not ideal.

Only because the Azure Han Immortal Continent's territory is vast, with many immortal cities, making it easy to infiltrate, whereas the Dark Realm Forbidden Zone here is just this one area, with only a single entrance and exit, and it naturally possesses two barriers: the poisonous miasma fog and the Heavenly Trace Immortal Forest.

Even if one forcibly breaks through these two barriers, facing the strict defenses inside yields no good outcome.

After trying several times and failing, the Righteous Dao Alliance completely gave up, only able to dispatch heavy troops and the two major forces of Golden Feather to defend the outside strictly.

Beyond a thousand miles, banners flutter, military tents stretch endlessly, the eye cannot see their end.

「Chaos, everything outside is already in chaos! Brother Jin, do we still need to be stationed here? 」

Inside the solemn and dignified military tent, the leaders of the two major forces stationed here by order—the Sect Master of Metal from the Land Benevolence Jia Sect and the Sect Master of Silver from the Furnace Blade Heterodox Sect—all furrowed their brows.

「The Azure Cloud has actually added two more Immortal Emperors! Two! What can our Righteous Dao Alliance use to oppose them? I've heard the allied forces from the Nine Heavens and Vast Ancient are about to attack! 」 the Silver Sect Master swallowed nervously, panicking.

「Brother Silver, I know you're anxious, but don't rush; it's not like they haven't arrived yet—when the sky falls, tall people hold it up; as long as it doesn't affect us now, we're fine. 」

「We're just following orders to stay here; look, haven't we been peacefully coexisting with the Dark Realm Forbidden Zone all along? 」

The Metal Sect Master forced a calm demeanor, his words carrying self-consolation.

「This time, that time! 」

「I'm just afraid that if they attack from there, the Dark Realm Forbidden Zone will join them in a front-and-rear pincer on us, then the two of us will really be having a blast! 」

「Furthermore, the premise of peaceful coexistence is that the Dark Realm Forbidden Zone has remained inactive; otherwise, whether we can even sit here now is unknown. 」

「I know that even just the God-Slaying Hall subordinate division of the Azure Cloud Dark Tower is terrifying beyond compare, famed for saying that as long as the money is in place, everything gets destroyed. 」

「This assassin organization is said to have been founded by just a disciple of the Azure Cloud, and shortly after its establishment it rose to the top ranks—truly terrifying! Whether it be Immortal Venerable titans or Supreme Divine Lords, in their eyes it's merely a matter of more or fewer chips. 」

The Silver Sect Master said all this in one breath, the panic in his eyes growing ever stronger, even his fingertips trembling slightly.

Just as the atmosphere in the tent grew increasingly solemn, a voice came from outside: "Thanks for the praise, didn't directly scare you two to death; it seems my God-Slaying Hall still has a long way to go."

The Metal and Silver Sect Masters' faces simultaneously startled, they sprang up nervously and looked toward the tent's exterior.

「Who! 」

In a moment, three figures clad in black robes and wearing strange masks stepped in—namely Li Yin, Zhao Jinzhu, and Shanbao Daoist, the three founders.

Behind them followed the similarly black-robed Eternal Night Emperor, Xingkong, Xiuluo, Anying, and Xuantian—five divine lords.

「You… you, who are you! 」

「Wait! You said your God-Slaying Hall? You are the Master of the God-Slaying Hall! You are people of the Azure Cloud! 」

The Metal and Silver Sect Masters quickly reacted, their faces turning even paler—how could this be possible!

Outside there are not only heavy troops guarding, but also countless powerhouses of our own sects stationed there—how did they sneak in unnoticed!

「Come! Come! Enemy attack! Enemy attack! 」

The two frantically circulated their techniques, as the mighty aura of the divine lord's third-layer realm burst forth, while loudly reminding with chaotic power.

「Don't shout, those little rascals outside have already been dealt with by my Dark Tower's shadow guards and the God-Slaying Hall's assassins. 」

(See you tomorrow)
