Elder Tang looked at Ji Wuming and knew what he was thinking. Elder Tang turned his head to Shangguan Yun. Shangguan Yun smiled faintly and said, "This time, our Shangguan Family didn't participate in the crusade against the Tu Family to fight a protracted war. Now that we have all the information about the Tu Family, even if we have to make some sacrifices, we must eliminate them as soon as possible."
Elder Tang stared, he didn't think that Shangguan Yun would say something like this at this time. But after thinking about it, he understood. The reason why the Shangguan Family joined the crusade was because they wanted to win quickly and beautifully. Otherwise, it would be too shameful for the Shangguan Family.
When Ji Wuming heard Shangguan Yun's words, his face lit up with joy. He was afraid that Shangguan Yun would support a protracted war like Elder Tang. If that was the case, then he would have to compromise. Although the members of the various clans were the main force of the crusade, Ji Wuming had to admit that the influence of the Life and Death Arena and the Shangguan Family was too great. If the Life and Death Arena and Shangguan Yun wanted a protracted war, then they could only do so.
But now, the Shangguan Family said that they didn't want to fight a protracted war. This was definitely good news for Ji Wuming. With the support of the Shangguan Family, coupled with the fact that they were the main force, it wasn't a big deal if Elder Tang was the only one who opposed it.
Elder Tang looked at Shangguan Yun and knew that this matter couldn't be changed. He pondered for a moment and said, "It's not impossible to end the war quickly, but we might have to make more sacrifices."
Ji Wuming replied, "Sacrifices are unavoidable, so it doesn't matter if there are more or less of them. What we need to do now is to win this battle as quickly as possible. In fact, it's a good thing that the Tu Family would use such a crazy method to deal with us. We can think of a way to deal with their attacks. This way, our casualties will be less than what we expected."
Elder Tang nodded, then he looked at the projection of the planet and said, "Everyone should pay attention. On this planet, the Tu Family has set up formations and traps everywhere. However, there's one place with the least amount of formations and traps, and that's the Golden Sea."
Then Elder Tang pointed at a place on the planet's projection. Everyone's gaze followed Elder Tang's finger. They discovered that the place Elder Tang pointed at was a desert. This desert had a very nice sounding name on the Tu Clan's planet, the Golden Sea.
Elder Tang pointed at the desert and said, "Because the Golden Sea is a desert, its spiritual qi is quite scarce. Setting up traps there would require a lot of jade essence. Although this isn't something that the Tu Family can't afford, it's also something that they don't want to do. They want to save some resources for the future of the family. Therefore, I think that we should choose this place as our main target."
Seeing that Elder Tang didn't oppose the idea of a quick battle, Wuming was very happy. He looked at the place Elder Tang pointed at and nodded, "That's a good place. But before we can attack the planet, we need to pass through the large artifacts outside. What do you think?" Elder Tang nodded and said, "That's a good place. But before we can attack the planet, we need to go through the large artifacts outside.
Shangguan Yun looked at the projection of the planet and said, "I don't have any opinion. We'll leave half of our people to deal with the large artifacts outside the planet. The other half will attack the planet from the Golden Sea."
Elder Tang nodded and said, "Outside the planet, it's mainly a battle between large artifacts. Therefore, we don't need to leave too many people behind. We just need to leave enough large artifacts behind. However, once we attack the planet, we'll have to fight in close quarters. The casualties there would be greater. Therefore, I think that we should leave half of the large artifacts outside the planet and leave less outside. What do you think?"
Some people opposed this idea. This was because sending more people inside the planet would increase their safety. Naturally, they wouldn't oppose this idea.
However, there was a certain amount of danger in leaving large artifacts outside the planet. This was because outside the planet, not only would one have to deal with the large artifacts of the Tu Family, one would also have to pay attention to the attacks of meteorites. Because of this, the large artifacts outside the planet would be in danger of being sunk.
For Great Clans, large artifacts were far more precious than cultivators. If a cultivator died, the Great Clans could raise them again. However, if a large artifact was destroyed, it would be very difficult to make another one.
Naturally, the cultivators here weren't the core cultivators of the Great Clans, but the cultivators recruited by the Great Clans. If they were a core disciple of the Great Clans, then they wouldn't be willing to exchange him for a large artifact.
In fact, the Great Clans of the Void Realm weren't much different from the Sects of the True Spiritual Boundary. The Great Clans of the True Spiritual Boundary would cultivate their own core disciples. And these core disciples were rarely recruited from the outside. Most of them were from the Great Clans of the Sect.
The Great Clans of the Void Realm were the same. They would also recruit cultivators from the outside to strengthen the strength of the Great Clans. However, the core disciples of the Great Clans must be from the Great Clans. Even if they weren't from the Great Clans, the Great Clans would let the cultivator marry into the Great Clans. Therefore, the Great Clans attached great importance to their core disciples.
This time, the Great Clans sent a small number of core disciples to participate in the punitive expedition. They let these core disciples lead the ordinary disciples. The reason why these core disciples joined the punitive expedition was not only to lead the other disciples, but also to train themselves.
A sapling that didn't experience wind and rain couldn't grow into a towering tree. The Great Clans understood this truth. Therefore, the Great Clans didn't only raise their core disciples at home. Training, life and death training, were indispensable.
The reason why Elder Tang said to leave fewer people outside and more people inside the planet was to remind Ji Wuming and the others that the Great Clans' Core Disciples should stay outside. The Great Artifacts were fighting outside, so the Cultivators would be safer outside. If all the Core Disciples were sent to the planet, then the danger would be greatly increased.
Ji Wuming wasn't an idiot, so when they heard Elder Tang, they immediately understood what he meant. Ji Wuming replied, "Alright, we'll do as Elder Tang says. Elder Tang, what do you think we should do with the division of personnel?"
Elder Tang replied, "Brother Shangguan seems to be very experienced in commanding the Great Artifacts. How about this? We'll leave 50 Great Artifacts for Brother Shangguan to command. We'll leave about a thousand people on each Great Artifact. As for the rest, we'll bring them to the planet. What do you think?"
Ji Wuming stared, then he turned to Shangguan Yun and said, "What do you think, Mister Shangguan?"
Shangguan Yun replied, "Alright, I'll leave the Tu Family's Great Artifacts to me. You can also leave your Great Artifacts to me. I guarantee that you won't suffer too much losses."
Ji Wuming smiled faintly and said, "Losses are inevitable in war. Mister doesn't need to worry about it. Alright, then we'll leave. Everyone, go back and prepare." Everyone nodded, then they turned around and left.
Elder Tang led the five Lei Family Brothers back to the Life and Death Arena's Great Artifacts. Then he called the people on the Life and Death Arena and gave them some instructions. After that, he immediately gathered the people on the Life and Death Arena's Great Artifacts, leaving half of the Great Artifacts outside for Shangguan Yun to command.
Naturally, their movements couldn't be hidden from the Tu Family's scouts. However, the scouts were very confused, they didn't know what they were doing.
It didn't take long before the Great Clans finished their preparations. Fifty Great Artifacts were empty while the rest of the people went to the other fifty Great Artifacts.
Under the command of Ji Wuming and Elder Tang, the fifty large celestial devices filled with people slowly sailed towards the planet where the Tu Clan was located. Shangguan Yun, on the other hand, directed the other fifty large celestial devices to meet the large celestial devices that the Tu Clan had left outside the planet.
When the Tu Family saw this, they immediately understood that they wanted to divide their forces. The Tu Family immediately sent a message back to the planet. At the same time, the Great Artifacts on the planet also moved towards Shangguan Yun's Great Artifacts. At the same time, the Meteorites near the Tu Family's planet also began to move, slowly moving towards Shangguan Yun's fleet.
Shangguan Yun had indeed commanded many battles between Great Artifacts. Because of this, he wasn't anxious at all. He calmly adjusted the formation of the Great Artifacts as well as their speed. He wanted to deal with the Meteorites first before dealing with the Tu Family's Great Artifacts.
At this time, Elder Tang and Ji Wuming commanded the Great Artifacts to bypass the place where Shangguan Yun and the Tu Family's Great Artifacts were going to fight.
Although the Tu Family sent some meteorites to block Elder Tang's fleet, the effect wasn't obvious. The fleet's energy cannons were able to destroy the meteorites, the meteorites weren't of much use at all.
However, what Elder Tang and the others couldn't see was that the Tu Family's Great Artifacts were also mobilized. They chased after Elder Tang and the others. They wanted to see where Elder Tang and the others would attack from.
In the Tu Family's view, no matter where Elder Tang and the others attacked from, they weren't afraid. This was because the planet was covered with all kinds of traps and formations. Some of these formations could even affect the Great Artifacts. It can be said that the Tu Family was fully prepared for this battle. They were already waiting for Elder Tang and the others to come knocking on their door.
While Elder Tang and the others' fleet was moving forward, Elder Tang and Ji Wuming were also dividing the Great Clans into small teams. At the same time, each team leader had to carry a map of the planet. At the same time, they had to remember the locations of the traps and formations. This way, it would be easier for them to move.
This wasn't a simple matter. Although the Cultivators had an advantage in this aspect, they only needed to imprint Le Xi's image in their mind. However, the Tu Family had arranged too many formations on the planet. It wasn't easy for the Cultivators to remember all the formations and traps in a short period of time.
However, Elder Tang and the others also ordered the Cultivators to remember the formations and traps in the shortest time possible. Otherwise, they would suffer a big loss.
The fleet moved forward slowly. At this time, Shangguan Yun's fleet was already in close combat with the enemy. He commanded the fleet to set up a one-man attack formation. While destroying the meteorites, he also had to deal with the Tu Family's fleet. It wasn't easy.
However, although the Tu Family's fleet rushed forward, they didn't launch an attack rashly. The difference in numbers made them not dare to act rashly. Their main task was to delay the punitive expedition's large artifacts. Therefore, although the Tu Family's fleet rushed forward, they didn't immediately attack Shangguan Yun's fleet. Instead, they used energy cannons to attack Shangguan Yun's fleet from the periphery. Shangguan Yun's fleet also used energy cannons to retaliate. However, such an attack couldn't cause any substantial damage to these large artifacts.
In fact, the main characters of this war weren't the large artifacts from the very beginning, but the Cultivators. Just like what someone said, the decisive battle depended on the infantry. The Cultivators were equivalent to the infantry in this battle. In the end, it was the Cultivators who needed to resolve the battle. Although the large artifacts could play a certain role, they couldn't play a decisive role.
The two sides were already engaged in a fierce battle, but the situation wasn't very fierce. In another place, someone was quietly watching this battle. This person was, of course, Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai was very clear about what was happening here. Not to mention that the information he gave Elder Tang contained Liquid Silver, even the jade slip player that Elder Tang took out also contained Liquid Silver. When Elder Tang placed him in the void fortress of the Ji Family, Zhao Hai had already integrated Liquid Silver into the void fortress. Therefore, he knew everything on the battlefield like the back of his hand.
Regarding Elder Tang's decision, Zhao Hai didn't oppose it. However, he also didn't necessarily support it. If it was him, then he wouldn't divide his troops. They had 100 large artifacts while the other side only had 50 large artifacts. In this case, there was no need to divide his troops. He would just have the 100 large artifacts form a battle formation and withdraw the Cultivators from the periphery into the formation. When the time comes, he would use the large artifacts to suppress the enemy.
Naturally, there was a prerequisite for this. The prerequisite was that Elder Tang and the others had to be able to command the large artifacts like how he commanded his own army. However, Zhao Hai believed that it would be very difficult for Elder Tang and the others to do this. After all, the large artifacts belonged to different clans. It would be very difficult for them to cooperate with each other intimately.
However, Zhao Hai also knew that no matter what Elder Tang and the others decided to do, it wouldn't be easy for them to lose this battle. The disparity in numbers couldn't be made up for. Even if the Tu Family wanted to go all out, Elder Tang and the others would be prepared after Zhao Hai's warning. They wouldn't be fooled again. Although they might suffer some losses, it was impossible for them to lose.
