When a person is wholeheartedly doing something, they would feel that time passes very quickly. At the same time, they would also forget about everything around them.
Zhao Hai knew that his current strength wasn't at the top of the Soul Realm. However, he didn't care about it. With his current condition, it wasn't difficult for him to improve his strength. But he felt that he should temper his state of mind. Zhao Hai didn't need to worry about it. He didn't need to worry about it. Instead, he needed to temper his state of mind.
There were many ways to temper one's state of mind. For example, going into seclusion to comprehend one's state of mind in the midst of endless loneliness. For example, going through hardships to improve one's state of mind. Or like Zhao Hai, wholeheartedly doing something, and it was a good thing. This process was also a tempering of one's state of mind.
It was precisely because of this that Zhao Hai wholeheartedly devoted himself to this task. He had never been like this before, working hard to improve the environment of a place.
Even when Zhao Hai had just crossed over, although the environment was very bad, he had the Space at that time. As long as he took out the soil and water from the Space, he could easily change the surrounding environment. Unlike now, where everything had to be done through his own efforts.
Suddenly, Zhao Hai had a trace of understanding. No matter what he did before, he relied on the Space. But this time, he entered the Soul World. Although his Soul Space was much stronger than the Soul Space of the people in the Soul World, but in general, it wasn't as heaven defying as his own Space. If he wanted to improve the plants in the Soul World, he still needed to go through a lot of experiments. Maybe this was what God wanted him to do before.
This feeling was very novel. But when Zhao Hai looked at the plants that were getting better and better under his own efforts, he felt a trace of satisfaction in his heart.
Zhao Hai didn't care too much about the Ten Great Strongholds. He just wanted to separate himself from the Ten Great Strongholds. He didn't even care about the Sand Tiger Stronghold. In any case, the Sand Tiger Stronghold had Fire Phoenix, Thunder God, and Scholar. Their strength wasn't the weakest among the Ten Great Strongholds. They were enough to settle down in the desert. Because of this, he didn't need to worry about anything.
Zhao Hai was very clear that the Ten Great Strongholds could move against the Tiger Soul Country. They might even be able to take advantage of it. However, it was impossible for them to cause any harm to the Tiger Soul Country. The Tiger Soul Country wasn't a vegetarian. In the past, the allied forces of the three countries attacked the Tiger Soul Country. In the end, they were defeated by the Tiger Soul Country. Even if the desert's bandits wanted to do something to the Tiger Soul Country, it would be a joke.
However, Zhao Hai was also very clear that the desert's bandits were different from the three countries. The three countries attacked the Tiger Soul Country in order to destroy the Tiger Soul Country. This way, the Tiger Soul Country could use time to exchange for space. First, they would lure the three countries into the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Then they would use their own army's familiarity with the terrain and their advantage in mountainous warfare to defeat the invaders bit by bit.
However, the situation between the Ten Great Strongholds and the three countries was different. The Ten Great Strongholds were bandits. What bandits did was naturally destruction. They wanted to rob things, not for territory. Therefore, after they robbed something, they would withdraw from the Tiger Soul Country, leaving the Tiger Soul Country with no opportunity to fight back.
Naturally, this way, the Ten Great Strongholds couldn't really do anything to the Tiger Soul Country. However, this was tantamount to adding a wound to the Tiger Soul Country. This would cause the Tiger Soul Country to constantly bleed. It would be very difficult for the Tiger Soul Country to develop in the future.
Two months after Zhao Hai's assassination, the Ten Great Strongholds and the other strongholds dispatched their troops. They first sent experts to infiltrate the Tiger Soul Country's stronghold in the desert. The Tiger Soul Country's stronghold had a very interesting name, it was called the Tiger Head Stronghold. It sounded like the name of a stronghold in the desert. However, the Tiger Soul Stronghold was built in the middle of two mountains. This valley was the only flat road that led to the Tiger Soul Country. If one wanted to go to any other place, they would have to climb over the mountains. It simply wasn't suitable for a large army to move forward.
But as long as the Tiger Head Stronghold guarded this road, it would be impossible for the desert bandits to enter the Tiger Soul Country in large numbers.
However, the Tiger Head Stronghold hadn't been attacked by the desert bandits for many years. Therefore, its defense was very lax. Moreover, the desert bandits led by the Ten Great Strongholds had been carefully preparing for a long time. If they were unprepared, it would be very difficult for the Tiger Head Stronghold to block the attack of the desert bandits.
After the Ten Great Strongholds discussed this matter, they decided to send some experts to infiltrate the Tiger Head Stronghold when it was dark. Then, they would take down the guards of the stronghold and open the gate. Then, a large group of people would enter the Tiger Head Stronghold. When the time comes, the Tiger Head Stronghold would naturally be taken down by them.
Although the Tiger Head Stronghold's defense was lax, it was still a stronghold after all. Moreover, the stronghold's area was very large. Moreover, the Tiger Soul Country was very interested in the Tiger Head Stronghold. There were a lot of military supplies inside the stronghold. It can be said that even if the Ten Great Strongholds couldn't steal anything from the Tiger Soul Country, they wouldn't lose anything if they took away the things inside the stronghold.
The moon was dark and the wind was strong. The Alliance of the Ten Great Strongholds was already 30 li away from the Tiger Head Stronghold. The stronghold was now pitch black, there was no light at all. It was as if a tiger was lurking there.
The Blood Skull, Fire Phoenix, and the other leaders of the ten strongholds stood there and looked at the Tiger Head Stronghold from afar. Suddenly, the Blood Skull chuckled and said, "This Tiger Head Stronghold really has a good name. Ha ha ha ha, interesting. It seems like this stronghold really has the meaning of a tiger's head."
When the others heard his words, they also chuckled. The Blood Skull looked at them and said in a deep voice, "It's getting late. Everyone, let's move out." The others nodded and waved their hands. One by one, figures passed through them. These people were very fast. In the blink of an eye, they had disappeared into the vast night.
There weren't many people in this group. There were only ten of them, one from each stronghold. However, these people were very strong. They were all Consolidated Equipment Stage experts. In order to ensure that this operation would go smoothly, the Ten Great Strongholds had put in a lot of effort. This time, the Sand Tiger Stronghold had sent Lei Gong.
Lei Gong's speed wasn't very fast, but his attack power was extremely strong. After they opened the stronghold's gate, they would raise a fire as a signal. If the people in the stronghold discovered them, they would definitely attack them with all their strength. At this time, they needed someone with strong combat power to hold the fort. Therefore, Lei Gong went with them.
Lei Gong and the others quickly sneaked to the bottom of the Tiger Head Stronghold's walls. They didn't expect things to go so smoothly.
This was a military stronghold. Even at night, the stronghold would usually have a brazier lit. If they didn't discover anyone sneaking to the bottom of the walls, this military stronghold would be a failure.
At first, Lei Gong and the others saw that the Tiger Head Stronghold didn't have any light. They thought that the Tiger Head Stronghold had used some special method to know if anyone had sneaked in. Now, it seemed like the Tiger Head Stronghold really didn't know they were coming. The defense here was too lax.
Lei Gong and the others looked at each other and made a hand gesture. They nodded and went straight to the top of the city wall. They didn't use any tools. Every time they ran out of energy, they would use their hands to poke into the city wall. It felt like they were poking into tofu.
With the strength in their hands, they arrived at the top of the Tiger Head Stronghold's walls. When they arrived, Lei Gong and the others couldn't help but stare. There were no sentries on the walls, not even a single person. When they saw this, not only did they not feel happy, they also felt their hearts tremble. They felt that something was wrong. It was impossible for the enemy to not send anyone to the walls. This was too strange.
They looked at each other and decided not to enter the city or open the city gate. They wanted to find out why there was no one on the city wall.
The group circled around the walls and finally found a room on the gatehouse. The room was very big and was filled with people. Moreover, as soon as they entered the room, they could smell the smell of alcohol.
Upon seeing this, Lei Gong and the others couldn't help but look at each other. Their faces were filled with disbelief. Looking at these people, they knew that they were on duty tonight. They didn't think that they would all run into this room and drink too much. This was too strange.
One must know that even for desert bandits, they weren't allowed to drink when they were on duty. Moreover, these desert bandits would have someone on duty every night. When they were on duty, they weren't allowed to sleep, nor were they allowed to drink. But these Tiger Soul Country's army were actually on duty, drinking and sleeping. This didn't look like a regular army at all.
Lei Gong and the others looked at each other and were dumbfounded. Finally, one of them looked at Lei Gong and pointed his finger at these people. It was obvious that he wanted to ask Lei Gong what to do with these people.
Lei Gong looked at the others and then clenched his teeth. He used his hand to cut his neck. His meaning was very clear. He wanted to tell everyone that he was going to kill these people!
As soon as they saw Lei Gong's gesture, everyone nodded. They were desert bandits. Killing and robbing were normal for them. Moreover, it was normal for them to use drugs to kill people. Therefore, when they saw Lei Gong's gesture, they didn't have any reaction. They just nodded and then began to move. Lei Gong's expression changed. Lei Gong's expression changed.
In this kind of operation, silence was the most important. Therefore, people like Lei Gong who used a sledgehammer as a weapon weren't suitable to participate. The three people who used swords directly went out and slit the throats of the people in the room one by one. Silently, the drunkards in the room were dealt with.
