After Shi Potian and the others left, Zhao Hai finally let out a long breath. He looked at Shi Potian and the others and couldn't help but smile. To be honest, he didn't think that things would turn out like this. This was really beyond his expectations. Shi Potian and the others were able to see the situation clearly in such a short time. This was something that Zhao Hai didn't expect.
At this time, the City Lords of the Spirit Weapon Realm might have seen the situation clearly, but there were also some who didn't. And those who saw the situation clearly would have made some decisions. Those who didn't see the situation clearly would still think that this was just an ordinary war. They simply didn't think that this war would completely change the Spirit Weapon Realm.
However, no matter what, Shi Potian and the others coming to him today was definitely a good thing for Zhao Hai. Although Shi Potian and the others said that they would go back and talk to the Ancestors, Zhao Hai believed that there was a 70% chance that they would merge with the Lost Soul City-State. This was because Shi Potian and the others were still City Lords. Although the Ancestors had high status, they didn't have much control over the city-state's affairs. Moreover, there was no harm in merging with the Lost Soul City-State.
However, Zhao Hai didn't take this to heart. If they could merge with the Lost Soul City-State, then that would be for the best. Even if they couldn't merge with the Lost Soul City-State, he still wouldn't worry about it.
The reason why Zhao Hai thought that he was ready to deal with the Elephant City and the Lesser Dragon City wasn't because of the Void Experts and the River Breaking Experts in the Secret Realm, but because of the success of the offensive formation.
Now, this offensive formation could be mass-produced. Moreover, the production speed was very fast. And with this formation, the soldiers' fighting strength would be very formidable.
Zhao Hai had already transferred some soldiers to train them in the use of this formation. These soldiers didn't have bone beads on them. Although bone beads were also energy beads, it would be a waste to treat them as ordinary energy beads. One must know that bone beads can increase the density of the human body. In other words, they also have a certain effect on the body, which was very rare.
Just like the crystals that Zhao Hai came in contact with before, although they also contained energy, the energy was very pure. You can absorb it, but this energy can only be used to increase your body's energy. It has no benefit to your body at all. But bone beads weren't, they were good things that can strengthen your body. Because of this, Zhao Hai believed that using bone beads as an energy source for the offensive formation was too wasteful.
In the end, Zhao Hai thought of a way, and that was to use pills. Every soldier who uses this formation would have pills on them. At the beginning of the battle, they would put the pills in their mouth and let the pills take effect little by little. This way, they would be able to slowly replenish their energy during the battle. This way, they would be able to fight for a long time.
After many experiments, the ten thousand soldiers had basically adapted to the offensive formation. In the end, they thought that the offensive formation's name was too common, so they simply called it the Lightning Formation.
This formation wasn't of the lightning attribute, so the energy rays that it emitted were actually just ordinary energy rays. But because the rays were white, these people called it the lightning formation. Although Zhao knew this, he didn't stop them. If they liked to call it that, then so be it.
It was precisely because of this Lightning Formation that Zhao Hai was confident in dealing with the Elephant City and the Lesser Dragon City. Moreover, this was without using the Void Experts from the Secret Realm.
Two days after Shi Potian and the others left, Zhao Hai received another piece of good news. Che Xiaoguang and the others had finally become River Breaking Experts. This made Zhao Hai very happy. He immediately had Che Xiaoguang and the others return to the Secret Realm to stabilize their realm. At the same time, he also had Wen Wenhai and the others return to the Lost Soul City. This way, there was no need to worry about the Lost Soul City.
After Shi Potian and the others returned to their rooms, they immediately began to make arrangements to merge with the Lost Soul City. Naturally, they wouldn't directly say that they wanted to merge their city-state with the Lost Soul City. This would cause a lot of chaos. However, Shi Potian and the others thought of another way. This was to have the higher-ups of their city-state come in contact with the Lost Soul City as much as possible. They even sent some of their higher-ups to the Lost Soul City to study.
The reason why Shi Potian had them go to the Lost Soul City to study wasn't because he wanted them to learn something and then come back and change the situation of their city-state. They were very clear that the situation of the Lost Soul City couldn't be replicated. If it weren't for Zhao Hai's reckless investment, then it wouldn't have been possible for the Lost Soul City to become like this in a short time. Moreover, their city-state didn't have a big financial backer like Zhao Hai. Therefore, it was impossible for them to become like the Lost Soul City in a short time.
Shi Potian and the others had the Lost Soul City-State come into contact with them because they wanted them to see how good and advanced the Lost Soul City-State was. Only in this way would the Lost Soul City-State become the number one City-State in the Spirit Weapon Realm. Only then would the Lost Soul City-State join the Lost Soul City-State without much resistance.
Zhao Hai welcomed Shi Potian and the others' approach. Because of this, the other city-states that came to study in the Lost Soul City were treated very well. They were given good things to enjoy and understand the Lost Soul City as much as possible.
At this time, Year 19 and the others were still confronting the South Flower City-State in Mount Zhuhua. Year 19 and the others had discovered that their morale had been greatly affected. If they immediately attacked, then they might collapse, which would be an even bigger blow to their morale.
In order to deal with this situation, Year 19 and the others thought of a way. That was to let the soldiers rest for a few days and have them eat and drink well. At the same time, their daily training would be reduced. After a few days, they would attack the South Flower Gate. After all, they had already thought of a way to deal with the Rolling Wood Formation. Although they didn't know if it would work or not, it didn't matter if it worked or not. Moreover, in order to cooperate with this method, the mattresses would need to be adjusted. They would use these few days to adjust the mattresses and the soldiers before attacking.
Stone Hammer and the others didn't care about what Year 19 and the others were thinking. They already had a way to deal with the Rolling Wood Formation, but they didn't mention it. Although they were still training every day, they didn't give up on attacking the South Flower City-State. They had been looking for a way to bypass the South Flower Gate.
However, Stone Hammer's group didn't make much progress. Although they were all Void Masters, Zhu Huashan hadn't been around for a day or two. If it was that easy to find a way to bypass the Southern Flower Gate, then this method would have been discovered long ago instead of waiting until now.
However, Stone Hammer and the others weren't worried. Moreover, they didn't lack supplies. Therefore, the people in the camp were eating and drinking well every day. They also trained every day. Apart from this, there was nothing else to do. Each and every one of them looked more and more robust.
Finally, after three days of truce, Year 19 summoned all the generals to the command tent. After everyone sat down, Year 19 looked at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, we have rested for three days. I think we have rested enough. Now that the ballistas have been adjusted, we can start shooting at the path of the rolling logs. Our chance has come. Tomorrow, I will prepare to launch a large-scale attack. Does anyone have any thoughts?"
Nobody made a sound, nobody objected to Year 19's words. They had been preparing for the past few days. They were all soldiers, and a soldier's honor and disgrace came from the battlefield. If you win, then you'll be honored. If you lose, then you'll be shamed. But if they lost, then you'll be disgraced. Since they had already lost, then they naturally couldn't swallow this humiliation.
Seeing everyone's reaction, he knew that everyone agreed to attack. His spirit couldn't help but shake as he said, "Alright, since no one is against it, then it's decided. Tomorrow, we'll attack the South Hua Gate. We'll still have five thousand people in one echelon. Next, we'll assign the tasks. The first echelon will be in the most danger because they'll be baiting the South Hua Gate to release the rolling logs. Since we don't know if our method will work, our Giant Elephant City will send a thousand people to the first echelon. Then, we'll send four thousand people from the other cities to form a five thousand person echelon.
Today, he assigned twelve echelons. One must know that in the past few days, they were only allowed to attack with six to eight echelons. Even so, by the time the last echelon attacked, it would already be dark. A few days ago, Year 19 only assigned eight echelons. But today, he assigned twelve echelons, four more than before. This was definitely rare. It was clear that he had made up his mind. Once the Rolling Wood Formation was broken, then their attack would be unprecedentedly fierce. They must take down the South Hua Gate.
From Year 19's arrangement, everyone could see his determination to attack. However, no one opposed him. For the others, this was an opportunity. They had long wanted to destroy the South Hua Gate, so naturally, they wouldn't oppose it.
After Year 19 finished his arrangements, he told them about the arrows and catapults. Then he had everyone return. After all, the situation on the battlefield was constantly changing. Even if the arrangement was good, it would still be troublesome if something unexpected happened. Therefore, this arrangement could only be roughly arranged. If there were no accidents tomorrow, then they would attack according to this arrangement. If there were any accidents, then they could change it at the last minute.
When Stone Hammer and the others returned to their camp, Shi Ye and the others didn't look too good. Although they didn't suffer any losses in this battle, to be honest, it didn't feel good to only be a spectator.
Shi Ye and the others were soldiers. They wanted to use their swords and sabers to make unparalleled contributions on the battlefield. But now, they could only be spectators, which made them feel uncomfortable.
Shi Chui looked at Shi Ye and the others, he knew what Shi Ye and the others were thinking. He wasn't worried that the soldiers would have the same thoughts as Shi Ye and the others. In fact, the soldiers wanted to contribute to the army in the beginning. However, after seeing the people who died in the wooden formation, their thoughts of contributing to the army disappeared.
Generals wanted to fight in order to gain merits because they were Generals. Except for some special circumstances, Generals generally wouldn't be in any danger. Because of this, Generals wanted to fight in order to gain merits. To put it bluntly, they wanted to use the lives of ordinary soldiers to pave a path to success for themselves.
On the other hand, ordinary soldiers were different. When ordinary soldiers fight, they would have to face their enemies head-on. They would have to use their lives to fight. Even if they win, they would have a meritorious service. But if they lose, they might lose their lives. Because of this, ordinary soldiers didn't have much expectation for battle.
Although he knew that Shi Ye and the others only represented a minority, Shi Ye couldn't help but comfort them. This was because these minority decided the fate of the majority. This was an indisputable fact.
Shi Ye looked at Shi Ye and the others, then he smiled faintly and said, "What's wrong? Do you want to fight? "
Upon hearing Shi Chui, Shi Ye and the others couldn't help but smile bitterly. Then Shi Ye sighed and said, "I thought that we would be able to fight a good battle and make some contributions. I didn't expect that we would just be spectators. Although this is very safe, to be honest, watching others fight while we can only watch from the sidelines makes me feel uncomfortable." Shi Ye nodded and said, "I'm not sure if I'll be able to do anything.
Shi Ye smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, we'll fight. I can guarantee that you'll get tired of fighting in the future. This situation is only temporary, the bigger battle is still to come."
Shi Ye and the others smiled bitterly and said, "I hope so. To be honest, I don't have much hope for this attack. In any case, we don't have anything to do. We just have to watch."
Shi Ye said, "You mustn't have such thoughts. My Young Master told me that on the battlefield, whether you're a vanguard or a logistician, whether you're in the front, feeding the horses and cooking in the back, you're still a part of the battlefield. As long as you're on the battlefield, all of your thoughts must be on the battlefield. You must be prepared to deal with any unexpected situation. If you're distracted on the battlefield, then death will find you in the next moment. Therefore, you mustn't have any thoughts of slacking off, that will only make you die faster.
Do you understand? "Shi Ye and the others looked at Shi Ye and couldn't help but stare. Then their expressions turned cold as they immediately said," Yes, we understand! "
