Chai Lingde stood in front of the transmission formation of Huanhe City and quietly waited. He was waiting for the commander sent by the Holy Institute. At this time, the Holy Institute's reinforcements had arrived. They were reinforcements from other cities, totaling up to 500,000. With the addition of the Southern Flower City's army, Huanhe City now had 600,000 troops, which was about the same as Zhao Hai's army.
Chai Lingde had also heard about the commander sent by the Holy Institute. This commander's surname was Liu, he was a member of the Liu Family. The Liu Family was special in the Holy Institute. The Liu Family was in charge of discipline in the Holy Institute. In the past, the Liu Family taught military affairs in the Holy Institute. But later on, the Holy Institute canceled this course. This was because very few people would attend this course. Those who went to the Holy Institute to study military affairs were already taught in their own families. They went to the Holy Institute in order to improve their strength. Who would want to waste their time on military affairs? Because of this, the Liu Family stopped teaching military affairs and changed their profession to discipline in the Holy Institute.
However, the Liu Family didn't give up their military studies. In the past few years, the Liu Family had been studying military affairs. They even sent people to the cities to command battles. They could be considered as the most knowledgeable family in the Holy Institute.
The reason why the Holy Institute didn't allow the Liu Family to command battles was because the Liu Family had offended the dean of the Holy Lu Institute. Later on, the dean suppressed the Liu Family. For a period of time, the Liu Family didn't even care about discipline.
In the Holy Institute, if one's family didn't have a position in the Holy Institute, then the family's status would be affected. Because of this, the family's chances of producing experts would be lower compared to other families. Slowly, the family would become weaker.
The Liu Clan had been suppressed by the Dean for some time. The Dean had also formed a grudge with the Liu Clan. The more it was like this, the more the Dean didn't want the Liu Clan to stand up again. Therefore, the Sacred Institute didn't let the Liu Clan command the battle against Zhao Hai.
But this time, the Sacred Academy had no choice but to invite the Liu Clan because they were defeated. If they were defeated again, then their losses would be too great. Therefore, the Sacred Academy wanted the Liu Clan to block Zhao Hai's attack. Even if they couldn't defeat Zhao Hai's group, as long as they could block Zhao Hai's attack, then they would win. As long as they were given time to recover, they would be able to make a comeback.
The Liu Clan knew that this was an opportunity for them. They also knew that now wasn't the time to go against the Dean. On the contrary, if they complete this task well, then their status in the Holy Institute would be higher. The Liu Clan's resources would return to their previous level. For them, this was definitely a good thing.
While Chai Lingde was thinking about these things, a white light suddenly flashed inside the transmission formation. Then, a person appeared inside the transmission formation. This person was around 50 years old. He wasn't very tall and his hair was a bit messy. However, his eyes were like lightning and his body was straight. Just by standing there, he gave off an invisible pressure.
When Chai Lingde saw this person, he quickly said, "Chai Lingde has seen Mister Liu Kaide."
Liu Kaide looked at Chai Lingde and nodded, "General Chai has worked hard. Let's talk while walking. General Chai, please tell me about Zhao Hai's situation."
Chai Lingde nodded and said, "Mister Liu, please." Then he made an inviting gesture. Liu Kaide didn't say anything, he just nodded and walked forward. Chai Lingde quickly followed him and said, "Mister Liu, Zhao Hai and the others have been camping on the other side of the river for almost a month. However, they seem to be building ships, they don't seem to be in a hurry to cross the river."
Liu Kaide nodded and said, "Zhao Hai is a person who understands his troops. It's impossible for him to not know that this is the flood season of the Huan River. Therefore, it's not strange for them to not cross the river during this time. Moreover, ships aren't easy to build. It's already good for them to build a ship in one or two months."
Chai Lingde nodded and said, "Right, we also think the same. However, Zhao Hai is very crafty. We still need to be careful. However, a few days ago, there were several floods in the Huan River, causing the river to rise quickly. Moreover, it still hasn't fallen by a lot. I asked the locals and they said that there might be more rain in the next few days. In this kind of weather, Zhao Hai and the others shouldn't cross the river to attack."
Liu Kaide nodded and said, "How about the rain protection? Food and weapons need to be protected from the rain. Especially the ballistas. If the ballistas' strings get wet, it's easy to have problems. We need to pay more attention. "
Chai Lingde nodded and said, "Yes, I've already arranged it. Mister Liu doesn't need to worry."
Liu Kaide nodded and then followed Chai Lingde into the City Lord's Mansion. Then Liu Kaide began to gather the generals of the Sacred Academy's army and held a mobilization meeting. He told everyone to focus on their training and stay vigilant. At the same time, they also needed to be protected from the rain.
Liu Kaide didn't say too much. He knew that he had just arrived at the frontlines, so there were still a lot of things that he didn't know. Therefore, he didn't say too much. After explaining these matters, he had everyone leave. However, he didn't let Chai Lingde leave. Instead, he had Chai Lingde explain the situation to him in detail.
Chai Lingde also explained the situation in detail. He was very clear that the one in charge of Nanhua City was no longer the City Lord, but the Sacred Academy. Therefore, it was best to be polite to the people sent by the Sacred Academy. Otherwise, the people sent by the Sacred Academy might not be polite to you.
After Liu Kaide understood the situation, he had Chai Lingde leave. Liu Kaide stood in front of the map and looked at it carefully.
At this time, Zhao Hai also received news that the Sacred Academy's reinforcements had arrived. He nodded and said, "Right, it's about time." Then he called all the generals to the central tent.
After all the Generals arrived at the tent, Zhao Hai looked at them and said, "Everyone must have been anxious these past few days. Besides building the ships, we didn't do anything else. Moreover, you should know that we don't need ships this time. Therefore, you must be wondering why we need to build ships. Did we change our plans?" Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Yes, I'm sure you've been waiting for a long time.
Everyone chuckled, it was obvious that they were thinking the same thing. Zhao Hai continued, "The reason why I'm building ships here is to make the enemy think that we're going to the other side. As for the water attack, there's no need to worry about it. It only takes a few days to prepare. Moreover, I'm also waiting for the Holy Courtyard's reinforcements to arrive. As long as the reinforcements arrive, then we can attack. That would be the best time for us to attack. Otherwise, we'd be too stingy if we use a water attack just to deal with 100 thousand people." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "That's not the case at all."
As soon as everyone heard Zhao Hai, their expressions shook. They knew that Zhao Hai's words meant that this time's matter would be different. Therefore, everyone looked at Zhao Hai, waiting for him to continue.
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "I asked the locals. They said that in three or four days, there will be heavy rain. This is an opportunity for us. From now on, let the soldiers rest as much as possible. When the rain comes, we'll attack."
Everyone nodded before they turned around and left. Although they knew what Zhao Hai wanted to do, they were still nervous. This was because this was their first time doing something like this.
On the fourth day after Zhao Hai gave the order, the sky began to turn gloomy. Not only was it gloomy, the gloominess was very strong. Although it was daytime, there was no light at all. It looked like night.
The Spirit Weapon Realm didn't have much light during the day, and now it was even more so. Seeing the weather, Zhao Hai knew that it was time for them to make their move. He immediately gathered all of the Sky Dance Grade experts in the camp. Then he also gathered all of the soldiers who had lightning formations in their hands.
Although Zhao Hai and the others had made a lot of lightning formations, it was impossible for them to make one for each of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers. After all, the number of soldiers who could use lightning formations was still a small number. This time, Zhao Hai gathered all of them and had them bring their rain gear. Then they immediately set out.
Because there was almost no light outside, they still used formations when they discovered the formation. What they used were lightning formations. However, the energy they poured into the formation wasn't very strong. It can be said that there was only a little bit of energy. Therefore, the formation only emitted white light, it didn't have any lethality.
Zhao Hai and the others hurried all the way and quickly arrived at the place that they chose. On the shore of the place that Zhao Hai chose, there were a lot of giant trees and stones. These things were all camouflaged by Zhao Hai. Not to mention the people on the other side, even if they were on top of these things, they wouldn't be able to see them.
Zhao Hai and the others arrived at the side of the giant trees and stones. Then Zhao Hai looked at everyone and said, "All Sky Dance Experts come out. I'll give you a task. Lift these giant trees up. Remember, I want you to lift them up. After you fly up, make the giant trees stand up and point them downwards. Can you do it?"
When everyone heard Zhao Hai, they stared, then they said in unison, "Yes, Alliance Lord can rest assured."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, there's no need to rush. Take it slow, one at a time. Let's move." Everyone nodded, then they surrounded a giant tree. This giant tree had some short branches, there were even some crossbars that allowed people to hold onto them. Each giant tree could be lifted up by dozens of people at the same time.
Under Zhao Hai's command, everyone lifted a giant tree. After they flew up, they erected the giant tree. Then under Zhao Hai's command, they lifted the giant tree and flew above the Huan River. Then under Zhao Hai's command, they slowly adjusted their position. They didn't feel that it was strenuous. With so many Sky Dance Experts, if they couldn't lift a single tree, then they would have failed.
