The entire Anti-Sacred Academy Alliance was mobilized. All the city-states were preparing. This was the first large-scale military operation of the Anti-Sacred Academy Alliance. It was different from the battle between Zhao Hai and the Sacred Academy. At that time, the Anti-Sacred Academy Alliance was on the defensive side. Because of this, the armies of the city-states were only in a defensive state. Because of this, there was no need to worry about logistics and other aspects.
But this time was different. This time, the Sacred Academy Alliance was going to take the initiative to attack. And as the attacking party, they needed to prepare a lot of things. First of all, as the attacking party, their provisions and supplies needed to be prepared. Otherwise, they would run out of provisions before they could even fight. Then what's the point of fighting? Their army would collapse by themselves.
Because of this, a lot of things needed to be prepared. For large city-states like the Lost Soul City, the mobilization of troops and the preparation of supplies were carried out in an orderly manner. However, for small city-states, this military operation wasn't a good thing. First of all, the small city-states would need to prepare their supplies. Although these small city-states would also prepare some military supplies, they couldn't have too much of them. This was because these military supplies were all money. Storing military supplies was equivalent to leaving money untouched. Moreover, these military supplies would also be consumed. In other words, it was equivalent to leaving money and watching it decrease bit by bit. This might be acceptable for large city-states, but for small city-states, this was absolutely unacceptable.
The Anti-Sacred Academy Alliance made such a big move, so it was impossible for the Freedom Alliance and the Sacred Academy to not know about it. The Sacred Academy had been paying attention to the Anti-Sacred Academy Alliance for a long time. Naturally, they wouldn't let go of this opportunity. They immediately joined forces with the Freedom Alliance and began to prepare for war.
However, they were on the defensive side, so this arrangement was naturally more advantageous. Moreover, the Holy Court already knew from the alliance that the Anti-Holy Court Alliance was going to gather in the Yalong City. Then, they would gather their forces and come out of the Yalong City. They would go all the way to the south and directly attack the Nanhua City.
Nanhua City wasn't a big city, it was just a small city. In the past, small cities like Nanhua City were vassals of the Yalong City-State. They had to listen to the Yalong City-State. But now, Nanhua City had to listen to the Holy Court. This was because they were now a member of the Freedom Alliance.
The plan to attack Nanhua was formulated by Year 19. The reason why Year 19 wanted to attack Nanhua first was because Nanhua wasn't a large city-state. They had limited military strength and combat power. If there were no accidents, they would be able to take Nanhua in the shortest time possible. This way, not only would they be able to increase their soldiers, they would also be able to obtain resources from Nanhua. This would allow the other city-states in the Anti-Sacred Academy Alliance to gain some benefits. This way, everyone would enjoy fighting even more.
It must be said that Year 19 had some skills. His choice wasn't wrong. The only mistake he made was that he trusted the Family Alliance too much. And now, the Family Alliance had already sold him out. Now, the Sacred Academy was aware of his plan.
At this time, a lot of Sacred Academy Experts had gathered in Nanhua City. Moreover, various armies had also arrived in Nanhua City. Originally, small city-states like Nanhua City didn't have many transmission formations. Even if they did, they wouldn't be willing to use them because they couldn't afford to use them.
But now, the situation in the South Flower City-State was completely different. The Transmission Formation of the South Flower City-State was fully activated. Groups of soldiers appeared in the Transmission Formation. Then, these soldiers were immediately assigned to the barracks of the South Flower City-State. All kinds of supplies were continuously sent through the Transmission Formation. It can be said that the entire South Flower City-State had turned into a huge barracks.
Year 19 didn't know about this situation at all. Although he wanted to send spies to Nanhua City, he found that it was impossible. There were only two ways for spies to enter Nanhua City. One was through the transmission formation. But now, Nanhua City's transmission formation was too busy. It was impossible for spies to take the transmission formation from Yalong City to Nanhua City. Therefore, this method wouldn't work.
The other method was to send a Sky Dance Realm expert to fly over, or send a scout disguised as a caravan to Nanhua City-State to gather information. In any case, they had to prepare for a month, so they should be able to use this time to scout.
But what he didn't expect was that after joining the Freedom Alliance, the Nanhua City-State had sealed off the channel between the Nanhua City-State and the Yalong City-State. In other words, it was impossible to send people disguised as merchants to enter the Nanhua City-State.
Since they couldn't disguise themselves as merchants, they had no choice but to send their Void Dance Experts. However, Year One quickly discovered that this wasn't feasible. If they tried to send their Void Dance Experts into Nanhua City, they would immediately be attacked by Nanhua City. Year One sent several Void Dance Experts, but in the end, only one of them returned with injuries. None of the others returned.
However, the injured expert also brought back news that Nanhua City seemed to be prepared. Moreover, there were experts from the Holy Court there.
Upon hearing this news, Year 19 couldn't help but frown. All his current plans were to attack Nanhua City first. If he suddenly changed his plans at this time, it would be very disadvantageous for him.
In the end, after discussing with his guest, Year 19 decided to not change his plans. He would still focus on attacking Nanhua City because Nanhua City had always been the most suitable choice.
Zhao Hai also heard this news, but he didn't say anything. He just transferred the 200 Sky Dance Realm experts he trained in the Secret Realm to Shi Chui. Moreover, Shi Chui would be the general leading the expedition this time. All the battle matters were handed over to Shi Chui.
Shi Chui didn't have any reaction to this order. He already knew that it would be like this. Therefore, after receiving the order, he didn't have much of a reaction and just did his own things step by step.
Lu Jinyan didn't know about the small group of Sky Dance Realm experts, so he was somewhat worried about Shi Chui's operation. However, he didn't say anything because Shi Chui was Zhao Hai's confidant. He was much closer to Zhao Hai compared to himself. Moreover, Shi Chui's work was related to military matters. If Lu Jinyan meddled too much, he was afraid that it would arouse Zhao Hai's suspicion.
Naturally, Zhao Hai wouldn't let anything happen to Stonehammer. When Stonehammer was sent out, Zhao Hai had already given him 30 new offensive formations. Moreover, Zhao Hai also told Stonehammer how to use them.
After Shi Chui received the formations, he was naturally overjoyed. He immediately distributed the formations to the Sky Dance Realm experts while keeping one for himself.
It must be said that when Shi Chui saw the 200 Sky Dance Realm experts he trained in the Secret Realm, he couldn't help but stare blankly. This was because these people were all wearing armor and holding very ordinary weapons. They were just like ordinary elite soldiers. It was hard to tell that these people were Sky Dance Realm experts. Moreover, Shi Chui didn't feel any Sky Dance Realm energy fluctuations coming from them. This made him very surprised.
However, Shi Chui thought about it and understood what was going on. Zhao Hai must have given them formations to block the energy fluctuations coming from their bodies.
Shi Chui didn't tell anyone about their identity, he only told them that they were his personal guards. The 200 people also knew about Shi Chui's identity. They were sent to the Secret Realm by Shi Chui, so they were very grateful to him. Moreover, Shi Chui was now Zhao Hai's subordinate. Being his personal guard wasn't a shameful thing.
While Shi Chui was preparing these things, Tang Ming and the others finally received news that they were going to gather. The gathering location was actually outside the Lesser Dragon City on a mountain called Rising Dragon Mountain.
One must know that Tang Ming and the others were all Breaking River Experts. Their gathering was different from an ordinary gathering. When they gathered, it meant that something earth-shattering was about to happen. Tang Ming and the others didn't think that they would gather at this time.
However, Tang Ming didn't immediately go. Instead, he directly informed Zhao Hai. He wanted to hear Zhao Hai's opinion. After seeing Tang Ming's message, Zhao Hai thought for a moment before replying to Tang Ming and the others. He wanted them to go and see what the other party wanted to do. Naturally, this gathering was mainly Breaking River Experts from the Elephant City. Even if there were Breaking River Experts from the Lesser Dragon City, there would still be Breaking River Experts from the Elephant City. After all, the City Lord of the Elephant City was now the Alliance Leader of the Anti-Holy Academy Alliance.
Now that Nineteen had become the Alliance Leader, the River Breaking experts of Mammoth City had also started to shake. This gathering was proposed by him, and it was precisely because of this that Zhao Hai sent Tang Ming and the others. He wanted to know what the other party was up to. Naturally, Zhao Hai also gave Tang Ming and the others an order. They didn't need to be too patient. If the other party dared to go too far, then they could directly attack. There was no need to be polite.
When Tang Ming saw Zhao Hai's reply, he also understood what Zhao Hai meant. Because of this, Tang Ming and the others didn't stay any longer. They directly led their people to the Lesser Dragon City. However, when they arrived, they all wore disguise formations. This was because they didn't want to be recognized.
When Tang Ming and the others arrived at the Rising Dragon Mountain, there were already a lot of Breaking River Experts gathered there. These Breaking River Experts all knew each other. Only Tang Ming and the others were unfamiliar faces. Because of this, when Tang Ming and the others appeared, everyone looked at them.
Tang Ming looked at these people and then smiled faintly. Then he cupped his fist and said, "Lost City's Ming Tang greets everyone."
Ming Chang was the fake name that Tang Ming gave himself. It was impossible for him to give his real name. Therefore, he reversed his name and changed it to Ming Tang.
These Broken River experts didn't think that Tang Ming would actually take the initiative to greet them. One must know that Broken River experts were very arrogant. This was because they were already standing at the peak of this realm. Therefore, it was almost impossible for Tang Ming to take the initiative to greet them regardless of their status.
