The two marshals and the Heavenly Generals discussed for a while and came to a conclusion.
The Prajna Fleet was in a dilemma. They were in a very passive situation.
In the end, it was the Left Marshal who made the decision.
"In my opinion, it would be safer for us to change our position.
The people of the Pure Moon Hall were backed by the Seven Moon Mountain, where they had sufficient resources and 180,000 people.
No matter how hard we fight back, the Pure Moon Hall will still be able to mobilize more of their people to support us after too many of them are killed or injured.
At that time, the Pure Moon Hall will be determined to fight us, and we won't be able to win. "
Logically speaking, Marshal Zuo's decision was useless. He had to discuss it with Marshal Shi and get his approval.
However, Marshal Shi was in a dilemma.
He couldn't lose his authority and dignity as a marshal, but he didn't want to share the responsibility with Marshal Zuo.
Therefore, he didn't object to Marshal Zuo's suggestion.
In any case, if the Prajna God Emperor found out about this, he would be able to clear his name. Only Marshal Zuo would be punished.
Of course, as one of the marshals, he agreed with Marshal Zuo's suggestion.
"Marshal Zuo can ask the fleet to retreat, but Benshuai has to remind everyone that we are retreating strategically, not running away!
We have to retreat in an orderly manner.
Most importantly, we have to defend ourselves when we retreat. We don't want Qing Yue Hall to pursue us and cause more casualties … "
Since Marshal Shi had agreed and put forward a suitable suggestion, this order was quickly passed down and made known to the soldiers on the various divine ships.
After a while, the Prajna Fleet, which consisted of four hundred divine warships, began to retreat to the south.
The speed of the fleet's retreat was a little slow. Many of the divine warships changed their positions during the retreat.
Every divine warship consumed a huge amount of resources to create the strongest defensive shield.
The four hundred divine warships combined to create a light ball with a radius of a thousand miles to block all attacks from the outside world.
The Master of Qing Yue Hall frowned when he saw the Prajna Fleet retreating.
"Damn it! The commander of the Hannya fleet was truly cunning!
Originally, they thought that with the increase in casualties, they would definitely be unable to hold back and send out soldiers to fight.
I didn't expect that they would choose to retreat, and retreat at such a tortoise-like speed! "
The Master of Qing Yue Hall had expected that if the Hannya Fleet wanted to change their situation, they only had two choices.
It would be good news for the Master of Qing Yue Hall if the other party sent out soldiers to fight.
He could continue to control the Desolate Antiquity Scroll to attack and let the 15,000 people use the formation to attack the enemy.
With that, if both sides continued to fight, the Qing Yue Hall would be able to whittle down the soldiers of the Hannya Fleet and slowly weaken their strength.
However, the commander of the Prajna fleet was not stupid. Choosing the lesser of two evils, he decisively chose to retreat.
Furthermore, when the fleet retreated, they did not counterattack. Instead, they defended with all their might to minimize the number of casualties.
However, there was nothing the Master of Qing Yue Hall could do. He could only bring his 15 thousand people and head south step by step. They followed closely behind the Hannya Squadron and continued to attack.
When the Hannya Fleet retreated, it was difficult for them to maintain a perfect defensive formation, and their defensive strength was greatly reduced.
Wasn't the Nine Dragon Universe Formation that the 15 thousand people of the Qing Yue Hall carefully maintained the same situation?
As they moved south and approached the Hannya Fleet, the Nine Dragon Universe Formation also showed flaws and deviations, and its strength was greatly reduced.
No matter how hard the 15 thousand people attacked, they could not reach the lethality of before.
They often had to fight for a few rounds before they were able to damage one of the enemy's ships.
At the crucial moment, they still had to rely on the Desolate Antiquity Scroll and the other three god items to unleash greater strength and destroy the Hannya Fleet's ships.
Just like that, both sides fought and retreated, maintaining a distance of 10,000 miles. The situation was extremely tense.
As time passed, the casualties of the Hannya Fleet accumulated, and the number of remaining ships became fewer and fewer.
However, they stabilized their footing and finally started to counterattack.
The abilities that the Qing Yue Hall's people used together were mostly blocked and dispelled.
The pillars of light shot out by the ships were as dense as a rainstorm, bombarding the Qing Yue Hall's battle formation and killing many people.
While the two sides were fighting, Ji Tianxing had been secretly observing the battle, constantly monitoring the situation in the field.
This was the result he wanted. Both sides were evenly matched, and both sides had to fight with all their strength. The numbers and strength of both sides were constantly decreasing.
Once the balance was broken, and one side had the upper hand and was confident of victory, he would find a way to destroy it.
… …
Unknowingly, 12 hours had passed.
The battle between the two sides lasted from morning until dusk.
At this moment, both sides had already advanced a million miles south, and were rather far from the Mount of the Seven Moons.
In the process, both sides encountered their own subordinates and people. There were one or two hundred people at most, and a dozen at least.
These subordinates and people were the ones who had rushed over in batches to support their comrades before the battle began.
However, before they reached the scene of the battle, they had already fought with the enemy along the way. The casualties were very tragic.
As the Hannya Fleet retreated to the south, they encountered the remnants of their subordinates and could only take them in.
The Qing Yue Hall, on the other hand, was much more relaxed. There was no such trouble, and they could just let the people who had suffered heavy casualties return to the Mount of the Seven Moons to recuperate.
At this moment, there were still three hundred and sixty divine warships and eighty thousand soldiers left in the Hannya Fleet.
As for the 15,000 people of the Qing Yue Hall, more than 1,000 had been killed. Only about 13,000 people were left.
Furthermore, the continuous outburst of divine power and continuous attacks had exhausted many of the people. They were dispirited and dispirited.
The high morale and aggressive aura from before had disappeared.
Seeing how tired the people were, the Master of Qing Yue Hall could only order the 13,000 people to slow down the pace of their attacks.
Only half of the people were left to attack, while the other half took the opportunity to rest and recover their divine power.
This method was not bad. Although it greatly reduced the power of the attack, it often took a long time to destroy one of the Hannya Fleet's divine ships.
However, the exhausted people of the Qing Yue Hall could quickly replenish their energy while fighting.
The Master of Qing Yue Hall knew that this battle would be a competition of endurance and divine power. It would be very difficult to determine the winner in a short period of time.
However, as of now, the Qing Yue Hall still had the upper hand. The Hannya Fleet had suffered more casualties.
Therefore, the Master of Qing Yue Hall was not afraid that the other party would stall for time and continue to compete in a war of attrition.
However, the soldiers of the Hannya Fleet had been accumulating their anger and killing intent for a long time. Now, they could finally explode!
This was because Marshal Zuo believed that the fleet had already retreated to a relatively safe area.
Now that the people of the Qing Yue Hall were exhausted, it was time for the Hannya Fleet to counterattack!
"Kill!"
Following Marshal Zuo's order, the soldiers, who had been ready for a long time, rushed out of the divine ships impatiently. They formed a battle formation in the sky and began to attack.
This was the main force of the Hannya Fleet.
The real battle had finally begun.
