War was never a small matter. Even in the Cultivation Realm, where there were countless conveniences, there were still a lot of things that needed to be prepared.
In a war between mortals, there were countless conditions to mobilize troops. First of all, there was the problem of material transportation. War depended on logistics and money. If you didn't have any materials, how could you fight? Therefore, in a war between mortals, logistics transportation and supplies had always been a big problem. In many wars, the losing side lost because their logistics couldn't keep up with the supply. That was why they lost the war.
However, this problem didn't exist in the Cultivation Realm. This was because the Cultivation Realm had its own Space. Every Cultivator could store things they needed in their own Space Equipment. This way, they wouldn't have to worry about logistics.
In fact, it was the mobilization of troops. In a mortal war, whether it was cavalry, carriages, or ships, the time taken to mobilize troops was very long and inconvenient.
In the Cultivation World, there were teleportation arrays, and even cultivators could fly. Therefore, it was much more convenient to mobilize troops than mortals. But even so, there were a lot of things to prepare for every war. It was impossible to pull out troops and start fighting as soon as the two sides started fighting. That was obviously impossible.
At this point, Zhao Hai was already aware of the 39 Southern Isles' plan. The 39 Southern Isles had already sent a portion of their forces to occupy half of the Divine Turtle Island. This made the Northern Isles have no choice but to join forces against them. Now that the 33 Northern Isles were in a disadvantageous position, they had no choice but to send more troops to the frontlines. They even dragged the Profound Sky Sect and the Sea Exploring Sect into the water. The 39 Southern Isles had already thought of this, they already knew that the Profound Sky Sect and the Sea Exploring Sect would participate in the war.
However, they still only sent 300,000 troops to confront the Northern 33 Isles. Moreover, they maintained their advantage in numbers. This forced the Northern 33 Isles to send more troops.
By the time the 33 Northern Isles' forces arrived at the Divine Turtle Island's frontline, the 39 Southern Isles suddenly mobilized their forces and attacked. The 33 Northern Isles would certainly leave some forces in their sects, this was something that the 39 Southern Isles had already expected. However, they immediately mobilized more than half of their forces and prepared to use their superior numbers to wipe out the 33 Northern Isles' forces in one fell swoop.
If the 39 Southern Isles could really do this, then the military strength of the 33 Northern Isles would be halved. At that time, the 39 Southern Isles would be able to take over the 33 Northern Isles with their superior military strength.
However, this plan also needed time to prepare. At the same time, they also needed to put pressure on the Northern 33 Isles, forcing them to send all of their troops. Only then would the plan succeed.
The 39 Southern Isles' plan was very successful. The Northern 33 Isles continued to send more troops to the Divine Turtle Island. At this time, the Divine Turtle Island's troops, including the Profound Sky Sect and the Sea Exploring Sect, already reached 400,000.
At the same time, the 39 Southern Isles were also mobilizing their troops. Their troops had reached 400,000 and were still increasing. As long as they were given a few more days, their troops would reach 500,000 or even more.
The reason why the 39 Southern Isles had to wait for the Northern 33 Isles' troops to arrive was because although they occupied half of the Divine Turtle Island, these islands weren't very big. It was impossible for them to station hundreds of thousands of troops. If they mobilized all of their troops, then they wouldn't have a place to stay. If it was for a short period of time, then it would be fine. But if it was for a long time, then it would be very troublesome. Because of this, they could only wait for the Northern 33 Isles' troops to arrive. Then they would be able to take down the Divine Turtle Island in one fell swoop. Only then would they have a place to station their troops.
Because of this, they also needed some time. They needed to wait for the entire army to arrive before they can move. Because of this, they were in a deadlock with the northern 33 Isles' army. They didn't want the northern 33 Isles' army to discover their movements.
However, what they didn't expect was that the Northern 33 Isles were also thinking of ways to deal with them. Moreover, they started to move earlier than them. At this time, the teams that the Northern 33 Isles sent out were already in position. They just needed to confirm the time of their operation.
The teams that Zhao Hai sent out had arrived at the designated location earlier than expected. This was also Zhao Hai's request. Although the teams weren't able to arrive at the designated location, they were able to pass on some information to the others. This was especially true for the changes in the 39 Southern Isles' army. The teams had already discovered that the 39 Southern Isles were sending troops over. Because of this, Gui Xinyu and Zhao Hai decided to have the teams speed up their movements.
Because of this, these teams arrived three days earlier than expected. When the news of the last team arriving reached the Spirit Turtle Island, Gui Xinyu immediately called everyone to the main hall.
After everyone arrived at the main hall, Gui Xinyu looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, now that all the teams have arrived at the designated location, we can finally move out. Everyone, when do you think is a suitable time to move out?"
Everyone unconsciously turned to Zhao Hai. Since this plan was proposed by Zhao Hai, he naturally had the right to speak. Therefore, everyone looked at him.
Zhao Hai looked at everyone and said, "The sooner the better. Those disciples are always staying in the sea. Therefore, we should act a day sooner. Since the sky is already bright, have the disciples stay in the sea for a day. Then we'll make our move at night. Inform the army to get ready. After dark, we'll head towards Eel Island and the other three islands. When we reach the periphery of the islands, have the disciples open up all the formations. Then we'll immediately attack." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Don't worry, I don't care.
Everyone nodded, then Gui Xin Yu said, "Alright, we'll do as Sect Master Jian said. Let's go back and tell our disciples to get ready. We'll take action tonight. Right, don't forget to leave some disciples behind to block the attack of the 39 Southern Isles during the day. We don't want them to see any flaws in our plan. Now that we're about to carry out our plan, if the 39 Southern Isles were to see any flaws in our plan, then we'll be in big trouble."
Everyone nodded, then they returned to prepare. When the sky was bright, the army of the 39 Southern Isles attacked again. It was still about 300,000 troops. Although the attack looked fierce, it lasted for less than two hours before they retreated. This had been the case for the past few days.
Zhao Hai knew about the plans of the 39 Southern Isles. They were waiting for their troops to arrive. Secondly, they wanted to use this method to deceive the Northern Isles. They wanted the Northern Isles to think that they would attack like this all the time. Then they would suddenly attack and capture the Divine Turtle Island in one fell swoop.
However, it was clear that they didn't expect that they had already been schemed against. Therefore, their early retreat was a good thing for Zhao Hai and the others. They can now rest and prepare for the operation at night.
The sky slowly darkened. Tonight's weather wasn't very good. The moon was blocked by dark clouds, making it impossible to see one's hand in front of one's face. However, this wasn't a problem for Zhao Hai and the others. They still took advantage of the night to set out. Their targets were the Kun Island, Turtle Guard Island, and Turtle Egg Island.
The three islands formed an inverted triangle. Eel Island and Turtle Guard Island were closer to the Divine Turtle Island while Turtle Egg Island was further away. Zhao Hai's goal this time was to deal with Eel Island first, then Turtle Guard Island, and finally Turtle Egg Island. They would move in the middle of the night. This was because at that time, the people on the three islands wouldn't move. They wouldn't be able to use their transmission formations. Even if their transmission formations were sealed, they wouldn't be able to discover it. This way, they would be able to prevent the other two islands from knowing about it.
Because the sky was dark, Zhao Hai and the others didn't move very fast. It wasn't until around ten o 'clock that they arrived at Eel Island. Eel Island was named after the shape of an eel. The island was long and looked like a mountain range. The army of the 39 Southern Isles was stationed on Eel Island, close to the Divine Turtle Island.
Zhao Hai and the others were now 20 li away from Eel Island. If they were to move forward, they might enter the defensive perimeter of the army of the 39 Southern Isles. Because of this, they stopped. Zhao Hai invited Gui Xinyu and the others to his Eight Trigrams Sword Qi Formation. After everyone arrived, Zhao Hai looked at everyone and said, "This position is just right, we can let the teams move. Once the formation is installed, we'll immediately move and take Eel Island. Remember, now is not the time to hold back. We must eliminate everyone on Eel Island in the shortest time possible."
Everyone nodded. Then Zhao Hai said, "Island Lord, give the order. Let the teams move." Gui Xinyu nodded, then she took out a small transmission formation and gave the order.
After the order was given, they quietly stood on top of the Eight Trigrams Sword Aura Formation and waited. Not long after, Gui Xinyu received the news that the teams were already in formation. They had already installed the formation on the island. Now, the teleportation formation on the island was no longer usable. Gui Xinyu looked at the transmission formation and then immediately said, "Move out!"
Along with his order, the entire army immediately moved. The army rushed towards Eel Island. For a moment, the battle cries shook the sky. The Cultivators of the 39 Southern Isles on Eel Island were startled. However, the island was still in chaos. This was because they were suddenly attacked while resting. At this time, it was inevitable for people to panic. This was the same for both Cultivators and ordinary people. Moreover, Zhao Hai's army had the advantage in numbers. On the other hand, although the people from the 39 Southern Isles were stationed on the island, they didn't set up strong formations. This was because they didn't have the time to do so. At the same time, they didn't think that the people from the 33 Northern Isles would attack them. After all, they were the ones who were on the offensive.
However, because of this carelessness, they paid a huge price. The Cultivators of the 39 Southern Isles were quickly defeated. They couldn't find their own sects and couldn't find their commander. Because of this, the Cultivators on the island couldn't help but think of running away. They directly flew away from the island and scattered in all directions. Some flew in all directions while some flew towards Turtle Guard Island and Turtle Egg Island.
On the other hand, Zhao Hai's army didn't stop. After defeating the garrison of Eel Island, they immediately headed towards Turtle Guard Island. The two islands weren't far from each other. Therefore, it didn't take long for Zhao Hai's army to arrive at Turtle Guard Island.
At this time, Turtle Guard Island had made some preparations. Because the two islands weren't far, they were able to see the situation on Eel Island. Additionally, some Cultivators who fled from Eel Island also ran to Turtle Guard Island. Because of this, the people of Turtle Guard Island also knew that Eel Island was under attack. They wanted to inform the people of Turtle Egg Island because Bao Tianlong was there.
However, they quickly discovered that they couldn't use the transmission formation to send themselves to their deaths. Turtle Guard Island immediately decided to send people to Turtle Egg Island while they prepared for battle.
However, even if they made some preparations, they still couldn't compare to the army of the 33 Northern Isles. Moreover, Zhao Hai's army went all out. It didn't take long before the army of Turtle Guard Island was scattered.
Zhao Hai's army didn't pursue the enemy. Instead, they reorganized their troops and went straight towards Turtle Egg Island. They knew that Turtle Egg Island should have received the news. Attacking Turtle Egg Island would be a tough battle.
At 3 o 'clock in the morning, they finally arrived at Turtle Egg Island. Turtle Egg Island was already prepared. The army of the 39 Northern Isles was already in formation and was waiting for their arrival. At this time, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, revealing the moon. The army of the 33 Southern Isles also lit up their formation. Bao Tianlong stood there with an ugly expression as he quietly looked at the army of the 33 Northern Isles.
The army of the 33 Northern Isles stopped about one li away from Bao Tianlong's army. Naturally, the large artifacts stopped about five li away from the battlefield, ready to charge at any time.
Bao Tianlong looked at the army of the 33 Northern Isles, then he suddenly laughed and said, "Good. I didn't think that you would actually use this move against me. But do you think that you've won? Let me tell you, stop dreaming. You will be the one to lose in the end. But no matter what, I have to admit that this move of yours is beautiful. "
Zhao Hai looked at Bao Tianlong and didn't say anything. Instead, Gui Xin Jade said, "Bao Tianlong, you've lost. All of the transmission formations on the Divine Turtle Island can no longer be used. Your army has become a lone army. It's impossible for you to defeat us. You're doomed to lose."
"Defeated? Hahaha. I want to see who will be the one to lose in the end! "Bao Tianlong looked at Gui Xinyu and laughed. He looked a little crazy, completely different from the shrewd and farsighted appearance he had when he was talking to Zhao Hai. It seems like he was greatly stimulated.
