Liu Hong flew forward cautiously. At the same time, he had to pay attention to a small book in his arms. This small book recorded the situation of the grain carts on the No. 5 official road, the number of people transporting grain, the number of guards, and even the time of his ambush. It was clearly recorded.
Because of this, Liu Hong was very careful. He knew how important the things he recorded were to Zhao Hai. If these things were obtained by the Sacred Court, then the Sacred Court would be on guard. Not only the fifth road, but all the other roads as well. When the time comes, the situation would become more troublesome.
Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened along the way. Liu Hong carefully returned to the city. But when he arrived outside, he couldn't help but stare. He discovered that there was a battle going on outside the city. No, it should be said that the people of the Sacred Court were filling the trenches. While they were filling the trenches, they were also being attacked by arrows from the city. The people of the Sacred Court were dying in batches, but the city didn't seem to have any casualties.
Upon seeing this, Liu Hong didn't know what to say. This situation seemed to be worse than when they attacked the South Hua Gate. At the very least, they were able to reach the city walls several times. But now, the Sacred Court's army couldn't even reach the city walls, let alone attack them.
Although the Sacred Institute's army was also using ballistas to counterattack, it was clear that their ballistas weren't effective against the city. Of course, the Sacred Institute didn't know about this because the city was protected by a formation.
Liu Hong had seen Zhao Hai install a barrier formation on the city. It wasn't a very big formation, but after installing it, the formation's might was very strong. First, there was no way to use a transmission formation inside the city. Second, when attacking the city, one would be affected by the formation. Ordinary attacks would be ineffective inside the city.
Liu Hong was very clear that although the Sacred Academy was using arrows to attack the city, the situation would be completely different once the arrows entered the city. The arrows would be stuck in a quagmire. In the end, the arrows would be forced to stop, they simply couldn't reach the people inside.
Liu Hong wasn't in a hurry to enter the city. Instead, he found a place to hide outside the city. He planned to enter the city at night. Now that the two sides were fighting, he naturally couldn't enter the city directly.
From Liu Hong's point of view, today's battle wasn't worth watching. It was nothing more than people from the Sacred Academy filling up the ditches. By the time it got dark, the Sacred Academy had only filled up a few ditches.
When the sky turned dark, the army of the Sacred Institute couldn't help but retreat. At this time, Liu Hong immediately flew towards the city. When he reached the range of the arrows, Liu Hong descended from the sky and slowly walked towards the city. While walking towards the city, he made some movements with his hands.
These actions were agreed upon between them and Zhao Hai. If they did not do these actions, it would only prove that they were enemies. Only by doing these actions would the people in the underground think that they were on the same side.
Liu Hong went all the way to the bottom of the city and then spoke a few words to the soldiers on the city wall. The soldiers then allowed him to enter the city. Of course, he didn't need to open the city gates to enter the city.
After entering the city, Liu Hong immediately went to the City Lord's Mansion. At this time, the army in the city was changing the arms and strings of the ballistas as well as inspecting the equipment.
Liu Hong didn't stay outside and directly went to the City Lord's Mansion. After reporting his name, he went inside and was then called to the Command Hall.
This Command Hall was where Zhao Hai commanded during the day. It was an important military area. In general, people wouldn't be allowed to enter.
Upon entering the Command Hall, Liu Hong saw some generals discussing matters with Zhao Hai. In front of them was a huge sand table. Liu Hong had seen this sand table before. To be honest, when he saw it, he was very excited. He didn't think that a map could be made like this.
At this time, Zhao Hai looked up and looked at Liu Hong. Then he smiled and waved his hand and said, "Liu Hong, you're back. You're the last one to come back. Did you suffer in the past few days? I've already asked someone to prepare bath water, food, and drinks at the back. You can go and rest after you've finished the mission. "
Liu Hong immediately cupped his fist towards Zhao Hai and said, "Yes, Alliance Lord." Then he went to the sand table and took out a small book as well as a simple map. Then he handed it over to Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai received the map and carefully looked at it. There were some markings on the map, but these markings were all numbers. Then Zhao Hai flipped through the book. Upon seeing the contents, Zhao Hai couldn't help but nod. There was a lot of information in the book, it almost recorded the entire scouting process.
Zhao Hai received the map and the book. Then he smiled at Liu Hong and said, "Good, very good. Out of all the scouts, you wrote the most detailed report. You're very useful in scouting. Go and rest. If we can defeat the Holy Court this time, your contribution won't be small."
Liu Hong didn't say anything, he just cupped his fist towards Zhao Hai and said, "Thank you, Alliance Lord." Then he turned around and left.
After Liu Hong left, Zhao turned to the others and said, "From the information that Liu Hong brought back, the enemy didn't change all the official roads into grain routes. They only have three real grain routes. But we can't take them lightly. If we attack these three routes, they might transport grain from other routes. Therefore, we need to cut off all of these routes." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "That's right." Zhao Hai nodded.
Everyone nodded, they understood what Zhao Hai meant. The supply route was very important for the Holy Academy's army. Therefore, the focus of the battle would be on the supply route.
Stone Hammer looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master, if the Holy Court sends an army to protect the supply route, then what should we do? They can send more troops to the supply route at any time, but we can't. "
Zhao Hai gently knit his brows, then he said, "I had my family make several transmission formations that can transport a hundred people. These transmission formations can be assembled at any time. As long as we have a flat land, we can easily assemble them. This time, when we attack the supply route, we can bring these transmission formations along with us. At the same time, we can also transfer the army there. This way, we won't have to be afraid of a frontal assault." Zhao Hai frowned, then he said, "That's right.
Stone Hammer replied, "Young Master, I think we don't need to use the transmission formations. We can use them in the future when we ambush the Sacred Academy's army. We can use the Lightning Array. As long as we can defeat the hundreds of thousands of soldiers, it wouldn't matter even if we use the Lightning Array. Isn't that right?"
When everyone heard Stonehammer, they turned to look at Zhao Hai. They knew that Zhao Hai was a very strong person, and such a person gave people a feeling of being headstrong and opinionated. If anyone tried to persuade him, he would be angry with them. Reprimanding them would be a light punishment, and if things went wrong, he would blame them.
Although Stone Hammer was Zhao Hai's confidant, this kind of person would be easily blamed. This was because other people weren't Zhao Hai's confidants. Therefore, Stone Hammer stood up to oppose Zhao Hai's opinion. This was equal to making Zhao Hai lose face in front of others. In this case, Zhao Hai might even blame Stone Hammer.
However, they didn't expect that Zhao Hai could only pat his head when he heard Stone Hammer. Then he smiled and said, "You're right, I almost forgot about the lightning formation. I just wanted to use it during the siege, but I didn't think that it would be the right time to use it. Alright, we'll do as you say. We won't use the transmission formation at this time, we'll use the lightning formation instead. Hehe, actually, those transmission formations weren't prepared for this time, they were prepared for ambushes. I just wanted to borrow them, but now it seems like we don't need them."
Everyone laughed. They didn't think that Zhao Hai would accept Stone Hammer's proposal so easily. This made them very happy. This was because this meant that Zhao Hai was a person who would listen to other people's opinions. For them, this was a good thing.
Zhao Hai looked at them and said, "Alright, then we'll take care of the supply routes. Select 500 people and have them bring their transmission formations. Then we'll cut off their supply routes." Zhao Hai nodded.
Then Zhao Hai pointed to the sand table and said, "During the day, the 'Holy' word filled up the trench. Moreover, they've sent more people to the sky at night. So it's impossible for us to dig up the trench. Therefore, we can only defend the city. Have the people prepare the defensive equipment, we'll need to use them later on." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, I'll be taking care of the city.
Everyone nodded. They knew that once the Holy Academy filled up the trenches and started their attack, their good days would come to an end. When the time comes, they would have to fight several hard battles.
Zhao Hai looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, there's no need to be anxious. We can dig a few more trenches within the range of the ballistas. This way, even if the Holy Academy wants to attack us, they would have to waste a lot of time filling up the trenches."
When everyone heard Zhao Hai, they couldn't help but laugh. Although the Holy Academy had hundreds of thousands of troops, the trenches were only so long. It would be impossible for them to fill up the trenches. Additionally, they would also use ballistas to attack the enemy. Because of this, it wouldn't be easy for the enemy to fill up the trenches.
Zhao Hai nodded, "Alright, let's get ready. Tonight, we'll send ten thousand people to dig a few trenches. We don't want to kill all of the Holy Courtyard's people, we'll just delay them here. Once we cut off their supply line, I'll see what the Holy Courtyard's people do." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, let's get ready.
Everyone nodded and smiled. Zhao Hai looked at everyone and said, "But we can't lower our guard. Each of the three cities must have a Breaking River expert. At the same time, behind us are the city-states. We have portable transmission formations, and so does the Holy Institute. Although their Space Dance experts can't directly enter the city-states, they can still go outside the city. If the defenses of the city-states aren't good enough, then the Holy Institute might take advantage of the loopholes. That would be troublesome."
Everyone's expression turned cold as they nodded. They knew that this situation was very likely to happen. This wasn't the first time the Holy Academy did this.
Zhao Hai waved his hand and had the officers leave. After the officers left, Zhao Hai returned to his room. Stone Hammer also followed Zhao Hai.
After the two sat down, Stone Hammer looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master, when will the Secret Realm be launched?"
Zhao Hai replied, "There's no need to worry about the Secret Realm. At this point, the Sacred Academy is still in the offensive phase. Even if we defeat the Sacred Academy, they still wouldn't move against the people inside the Secret Realm. After all, the situation inside the Secret Realm is very complicated. There are a lot of people inside the Secret Realm, all of them are part of the alliance against the Sacred Academy. If the Sacred Academy releases them, they would certainly turn against the Sacred Academy. Because of this, the Sacred Academy wouldn't make a move against those people. I even suspect that the Sacred Academy would never make a move against those people. This is because the Sacred Academy might just send everyone to the Secret Realm and seal the entrance. Then the people inside the Secret Realm could only work for them."
Stone Hammer nodded and said, "That's true. But this way, our actions in the Secret Realm will be delayed. If the Holy Academy doesn't release those people, then they wouldn't know about the situation outside. If we attack the Holy Academy in the Secret Realm, then they might help the Holy Academy deal with us."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "Two days ago, I received news that the Holy Academy has started to build houses in the Secret Realm. It seems like they're really preparing to move there. At this time, we can't make a move. Otherwise, the Holy Academy would be alerted. Once the Holy Academy is alerted, then our days wouldn't be good."
Stone Hammer said, "The Holy Academy has been operating in the Spirit Weapon Realm for so many years. Their influence is truly terrifying. Even under our attacks, they can still control half of the Spirit Weapon Realm's city-states. From this point, we can see how terrifying the Holy Academy is. Such a force must be eradicated. Otherwise, it would become the biggest obstacle to our unification of the Spirit Weapon Realm."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Right, I also think the same. The Holy Academy must be eliminated. You should know that as long as we unify the Spirit Weapon Realm, we can establish a connection between the Spirit Weapon Realm and the Soul Realm. At that time, if we attack the Soul Realm, the Spirit Weapon Realm would be able to send reinforcements. This is the most ideal situation."
Stone Hammer nodded, then he said, "I know what Young Master is thinking. But is this really good for the Soul Realm? Frankly speaking, the strength of the Soul Realm is a lot weaker than the Spirit Weapon Realm. If we really let the Spirit Weapon Realm and the Soul Realm come into contact, wouldn't the Spirit Weapon Realm invade the Soul Realm in the future? "
Zhao Hai said, "Nobody can say for sure. In the future, I'm preparing to move the Spirit Weapon Realm to the Secret Realm. The environment of the Secret Realm is clearly better than the Spirit Weapon Realm. Moreover, there are countless powerful beasts in the Secret Realm. Those beasts have bone pearls. Therefore, I think that the Secret Realm is more suitable for human habitation than the Spirit Weapon Realm."
Stone Hammer nodded, then he said, "Then what about the Spirit Weapon Realm? Are we going to give it up? Although the Spirit Weapon Realm can't be compared to the Soul Realm, it's still a pity to give it up. "
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "We won't give up. The Spirit Weapon Realm is the best place for training."
