The 39 southern isles lost half of their territory. This was something they didn't expect. Now that the northern isles were in high spirits, the most infuriating thing was that some of the cultivators from the southern isles had surrendered to the northern isles. At this point, the northern isles had completely outnumbered the southern isles.
The remaining southern isles looked like they were waiting for death. They didn't know what to do because they simply couldn't stop the northern isles' attack.
At this time, Bao Tianlong appeared once again. He directly contacted the remaining Island Masters of the 39 Southern Isles, hoping that they could unite once again to deal with the 33 Northern Isles.
The remaining Island Masters of the Thirty-nine Southern Isles knew that it was impossible to stop the Thirty-three Northern Isles with their own strength. Therefore, they agreed to Bao Tianlong's suggestion and joined forces to fight the Thirty-three Northern Isles.
After receiving this news, Zhao Hai gathered everyone. At this point, no one had any objections to his command. They even admired Zhao Hai. Under Zhao Hai's command, they defeated one enemy after another, bringing them victory after victory. Therefore, they no longer had any objections to Zhao Hai's command.
After Zhao Hai gathered everyone, he looked at them and said, "The remaining people of the 39 Southern Isles have joined forces. I think everyone already knows about this. How do you think we should fight in the future?" Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, alright.
Jie Yiming didn't even think about it before he said, "There's nothing to think about. We'll use the illusion formation to make the enemy think that we're attacking them from the front. Then we'll send our army to their rear and give them a good beating."
The others all nodded. In the previous battle, it had proven that this method was very effective. In their opinion, there was no need to change such an effective method. They would just use this method.
Zhao Hai looked at everyone and said, "No, I don't agree with this method. This method was very useful before, but it's not the same anymore. The remaining people of the 39 Southern Isles have no way to retreat, they will certainly go all out against us. If we use this method to attack them, then they would certainly attack the territories that we have occupied. Moreover, there are already a lot of our people in those territories. Although we have few people, we have a lot of captives. If they really attack the territories that we have occupied, then they can restore the freedom of the captives. When the time comes, they would have more people, making it harder for us to fight." Zhao Hai looked at the group and said, "I don't agree with this method. This method was very useful in the past, but it's not the same anymore.
When they heard Zhao Hai, Jie Yiming and the others stared. Then they frowned. Jie Yiming looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Sect Master Jian, what do you mean?"
Zhao Hai replied, "We used this method in the past because we didn't have as many troops as the other side. But now that we have more troops, we don't need to use this method anymore. We'll just have to face them head-on. The remaining people of the 39 Southern Isles are the last resistance of the Southern Isles. As long as we can eliminate this force, then the 39 Southern Isles wouldn't be able to resist us. At the same time, by eliminating this force, we can thoroughly destroy the confidence of the 39 Southern Isles. We need to deal with the remaining forces of the 39 Southern Isles in one fell swoop, especially Bao Tianlong."
At this point, Zhao Hai paused for a moment, then he looked at the others and said, "Bao Tianlong is the South Sea's number one expert, he's also the spiritual pillar of the 39 Southern Isles. As long as Bao Tianlong doesn't die or surrender, then the other people of the 39 Southern Isles would think that they still have a chance to win against us. If we can kill Bao Tianlong and eliminate the last resistance of the 39 Southern Isles, then we would be able to deal with the 39 Southern Isles once and for all. What do you think?"
What do you think? "Jie Yiming and the others felt their blood boil after hearing Zhao Hai's words. Defeating the enemy in one fell swoop. Naturally, they had thought about this before. This way, the war of the southern isles would be over. Therefore, Jie Yiming and the others nodded. Jie Yiming then said," I have no objections. This time, we can clean up the remaining southern isles. Even if we have to pay a price, it's still worth it. This way, there won't be any civil wars in the southern isles. At the same time, we won't give the Great Sects any chance to intervene. This is the best way. "
The others nodded as well. Just as Zhao Hai said, the people gathered by the southern isles were the strongest resistance that the southern isles could muster. As long as they can eliminate the last remaining force of the southern isles, then the southern isles would be theirs.
Zhao Hai looked at them and smiled faintly, "If everyone agrees, then we'll do it this way. Inform the people in the rear to prepare their defenses. This is to prevent the Southern 39 Isles from attacking our rear."
Everyone nodded. Zhao Hai then said, "Everyone, go back and reorganize the army. Three days later, we'll officially fight the southern isles."
Everyone responded in unison and immediately left. This battle was very important to the South Sea because this battle would determine the ultimate fate of the South Sea.
Three days passed by quickly. At this point, the 39 Southern Isles were in a defensive state. Therefore, they didn't attack, they just defended. On the other hand, Zhao Hai allowed the army to rest for three days before they prepared to attack the 39 Southern Isles' army.
Now, all the cultivators who participated in the war had undergone great changes. Their temperament had changed, becoming more like soldiers. Their cooperation with each other had improved.
But now, a different group of people appeared in Zhao Hai's army. This group didn't have the same temperament and looked a little scattered. Their formation was also arranged at the front of the army.
These people were the surrendered cultivators of the southern isles. They also wanted to participate in this attack. They all had a mark on their bodies. If they had any thoughts of rebelling, they would immediately be killed by the mark.
The surrendered cultivators from the Southern 39 Isles knew that they had no other choice. They had seen how ruthless the Northern 33 Isles were when it came to killing them.
After the army was assembled, Zhao Hai went to the front of the army. He looked at the surrendered cultivators of the southern isles and said, "Everyone, listen up. This is the final battle of the South Sea. The reason why we restrained you before was because we didn't trust you. You are also people of the South Sea, and we don't want you to die. After all, you are a part of the South Sea. If you die, the South Sea's strength will weaken, which won't be good for us. I can give you a guarantee that after this, you will regain your freedom. You can become a member of the northern isles, the Sea Exploring Sect, or the Profound Sky Sect.
The surrendered cultivators of the southern isles became excited when they heard Zhao Hai's words. Although they surrendered to the northern isles, they weren't treated as one of their own. It would be great if they could be treated as one of their own after this battle.
Sometimes, people are strange. The reason why they fell into this situation was all because of the Northern 33 Islands. They should have hated the Northern 33 Islands, but now, they were grateful for the Northern 33 Islands' kindness. This feeling was very strange.
After mobilizing the troops, Zhao Hai looked at the crowd and said, "Attack!" Following his order, the army went straight to the last line of defense of the southern isles.
The people of the southern isles also noticed Zhao Hai's actions. This time, they didn't set up a formation outside the island. Instead, they defended on the island. They knew that this battle was their last chance. If they couldn't stop the northern isles, then they would be finished.
Bao Tianlong stood there quietly as he looked at the army of the northern isles. His heart was very heavy. When he joined forces with the southern isles to deal with the northern isles, he didn't think that things would turn out like this. But now, everything was in front of them. If they couldn't stop the northern isles' army, then they would be finished.
Bao Tianlong made up his mind. Even if he were to die here today, he wouldn't retreat a single step. If he retreated, then he would never have the chance to fight against the northern isles. No matter how strong he was, it was impossible for him to stop the northern isles' army.
Bao Tianlong didn't have much hope for the island's defensive formations. He knew that the strength of the 33 Northern Isles was formidable. But what was even more formidable was Zhao Hai's ability to break formations. It can be said that without Zhao Hai's ability to break formations, it would be impossible for the Northern Isles to attack so smoothly. Each of the 39 Southern Isles had its own defensive formations. And if these formations weren't easily broken, then it would be impossible for the Northern Isles to conquer half of the islands in just a few months. Even if they managed to conquer a few islands, the losses they would suffer would be huge. It wouldn't be easy for them to do so.
However, all of this was changed by Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai's ability to break formations was too strong. Any formation in front of him was like a child's toy. It was broken in the blink of an eye. The island's defensive formation didn't play any role at all. It didn't bring much trouble to the northern isles. Most importantly, with the destruction of the island's defensive formation, the morale of the isles would plummet. They would become very flustered, making it even more impossible for them to resist the attack of the northern isles. Naturally, they would fail. This was their last chance. But they couldn't count on these formations. However, these formations were bait, bait to deal with Zhao Hai.
