After 50 rounds of continuous bombardment, the entire Chicken Heart Ridge was completely changed. Not a single plant was left. Even the rocks were turned into ashes. One couldn't even see a single person moving in the Chicken Heart Ridge. Those who were able to move were either inside the cave or behind the mountain.
Seeing this situation, Zhao Hai nodded. Then he said, "Pass down the order, stop the bombardment and have the army retreat. That's all for today, we're going back."
Upon hearing Zhao Hai's order, Sheng Feng looked at Zhao Hai in confusion and said, "Father, aren't we going to attack? Are we going back now? "
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Let's go back. We're going back now, we're not going to attack." Although Sheng Kuang didn't understand why Zhao Hai did this, he still passed down the order. After receiving the order, the disciples of the Sea Exploring Sect didn't ask why. Instead, they received their artifacts and left. But by the time they left, it was already afternoon. The 50 rounds of bombardment took a lot of time. And with the addition of the army, it took a lot of time for them to do so.
The Azure Dragon Elder and the Vermillion Bird Elder were also startled. The two of them looked at the army of the Sea Exploring Sect in confusion. They didn't understand why the Sea Exploring Sect didn't attack when they had such a good opportunity. Instead, they gave it up. This was too unreasonable. The best time to attack was right after the bombardment, so why did they retreat?
The Blue Dragon Elder looked at the Vermillion Bird Elder and said, "Vermillion Bird, what do you think is going on? Why did they retreat? "
The Vermillion Bird Elder shook his head and said, "I really don't know. Why did they retreat? This is too strange. Isn't this the best time to attack? With Zhao Hai's treachery, it's impossible for him to not know. Why did they retreat? "
The Blue Dragon Elder said, "We must be careful of them. This Zhao Hai is very crafty. Maybe he's planning something. We must be careful." The Vermillion Bird Elder nodded but didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at the direction where the Sea Exploring Sect retreated.
When Zhao Hai and the others returned to their territory, the sky was already dark. After eating, Zhao Hai called Wen Wenhai and the others to the main hall. This place was a very important branch of the Holy Gate. There was also a discussion hall built here. Therefore, Zhao Hai and the others have been discussing matters in this hall.
After everyone arrived, Zhao Hai looked at them and smiled faintly, "Everyone must be wondering why I didn't attack Chicken Heart Ridge after bombarding it." Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Everyone must be wondering why I didn't attack Chicken Heart Ridge."
Everyone nodded. Zhao Hai looked at everyone and smiled faintly, "The reason why I retreated after the bombardment was because although the defensive line at Chicken Heart Ridge has suffered a lot of losses and their morale is somewhat low, their strength is still there. Although we killed the Holy Gate's people today, their main force is still inside the mountain. Moreover, it's not only us who know that the bombardment is the best time to attack, they also know that the bombardment is the best time to attack. Therefore, if we attack, then we would be met with the enemy's fiercest counterattack. Although we aren't afraid of a hard battle, if we can deal with the enemy more easily, then why do we have to do it?"
Wen Wenhai and the others nodded. What Zhao Hai said was very reasonable. They were now on the offensive side, so there was no need to be anxious. Therefore, Zhao Hai retreated now. It's just that they didn't know when Zhao Hai would attack, and when was the best time to attack?
Zhao Hai looked at them and smiled faintly, "Now isn't the time to attack. We'll continue bombarding tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I'm prepared for ten days. When the Holy Gate's people are familiar with our bombardment, they will think that we'll retreat after the bombardment. At that time, we'll attack. Moreover, I'm preparing for a night attack. We'll attack when the enemy least expects it."
Wen Wenhai frowned and said, "But Boss, the enemy's defensive shield will be restored at night after being broken by us during the day. This way, we'll have to break their defensive shield first before we attack. Is this okay? When we break the enemy's shield, won't we be discovered by the enemy? "
When Zhao Hai heard Wen Wenhai, he smiled faintly and said, "Defensive shield? Let me tell you, the defensive barrier of the Chicken Heart Ridge is a joke. Maybe that barrier was a good thing a few thousand years ago, but now, that barrier is outdated. Don't forget that all kinds of formations have been developing for so many years. What was good in the past might not be good in the present. Even the barrier is the same. Those people from the Holy Gate, although they stationed themselves at the defensive line of the Chicken Heart Ridge as fast as they could, the energy cannons, barriers, and other formations they used were mostly ancient things. But they didn't think that these ancient things were useless in the present. In the past, an eight trigrams formation could trap people to death, but now, a cultivator can easily break the eight trigrams formation. This is development, so they are outdated now. I can silently break that barrier in a few minutes. When our army arrives, I don't believe that we can't take down the defensive line of the Chicken Heart Ridge in one fell swoop. "
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, everyone's spirits couldn't help but shake. Zhao Hai looked at everyone and said, "Actually, I originally wanted to attack Chicken Heart Ridge after the bombardment. But when I was firing, I suddenly thought of this method. Therefore, I decided to do it." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Actually, I wanted to attack Chicken Heart Ridge directly after the bombardment.
Wen Wenhai and the others chuckled. Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Naturally, ten days of bombardment would consume a lot of resources. After all, fifty rounds of bombardment a day would consume a lot of crystal stones. But I think this is normal. Things like crystal stones are just external things. The disciples are the most important. As long as fewer disciples die, then everything is worth it." Wen Wenhai smiled faintly and said, "Of course, ten days of bombardment would consume a lot of crystal stones.
When Wen Wenhai and the others heard Zhao Hai, they all stood up and bowed towards Zhao Hai and said, "We admire the Sect Master's benevolence."
Zhao Hai waved his hand and said, "Don't say that. All of you are higher-ups of the Sea Exploring Sect. You should understand that if the Sea Exploring Sect only has a few people, then the sect wouldn't exist. Disciples are the cornerstone of any sect. If we don't treat them well, then they wouldn't consider themselves as true members of the Sea Exploring Sect. But if we treat them well, then they would naturally support us. Therefore, I hope that no matter what you do in the future, think about the disciples first. Do you understand?"
Do you understand? "" Yes, we understand. "Wen Wenhai and the others replied in unison.
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, all of you can leave. Tell the disciples about my plan. Don't let them have any other ideas. If they think that we don't want to attack the Chicken Heart Ridge, then it wouldn't be good for them."
Everyone nodded. Zhao Hai waved his hand, then they turned around and left. After they left, Zhao Hai went back to rest.
The next morning, the disciples of the Sea Exploring Sect were gathered once more. Then they were sent outside the Chicken Heart Ridge. However, when these disciples looked at Zhao Hai, their eyes were filled with worship. Naturally, they knew about Zhao Hai's plan. They didn't think that Zhao Hai would be willing to waste so many resources for them.
When the Blue Dragon Elder and the others saw the army of the Sea Exploring Sect, they couldn't help but feel nervous. In fact, they had already contacted the Divine Lord last night. Moreover, the Divine Lord had also sent reinforcements. Even now, reinforcements were still coming in.
The Blue Dragon Elder and the others had also learned to be smart. Most of the reinforcements that came were inside the mountain or resting behind the Chicken Heart Ridge. They weren't stationed on the mountain. It was clear that they were afraid of the Sea Exploring Sect's bombardment.
Zhao Hai also noticed this situation. He couldn't help but smile faintly. Then he said, "All disciples, get out of the range of the large artifacts. Quickly." Along with Zhao Hai's order, all the disciples withdrew from the range of the large artifacts. Then with a thought, Zhao Hai disintegrated the Myriad Swords Ships and turned them into flying swords. Then Zhao Hai held the Blue Jade Compass in his hand and kept drawing on it. Along with Zhao Hai's movements, the flying swords slowly gathered together. However, this time, they didn't form a ship, but a flat platform.
From a ship to a flat surface, the surface area naturally increased a lot. Slowly, a huge platform formed by flying swords appeared outside the defensive line of the Chicken Heart Ridge.
The Blue Dragon Elder, who had been watching Zhao Hai's movements, had an ugly expression on his face. He basically knew what Zhao Hai wanted to do. He immediately shouted, "Quick, pass down the order. Get all the troops stationed behind the Chicken Heart Ridge to withdraw immediately. Quick."
But just as he gave the order, Zhao Hai had finished setting up the platform. Then, Zhao Hai ordered the Sea Exploring Sect's disciples to the platform. He took out the energy cannon and placed it directly on the platform. Then, the energy cannon began to adjust its angle. This time, the energy cannon's muzzle was pointed downwards. Then, the platform rose up and attacked the Chicken Heart Ridge and the Holy Gate's army behind it from the sky.
Energy balls directly hit the Chicken Heart Ridge and the Holy Gate's reinforcements behind it. Although the Holy Six's reinforcements had begun to retreat, their speed of retreat couldn't compare to the attack speed of the energy cannon. In fact, it wasn't easy for the army to advance or retreat. Although the Blue Dragon Elder had already ordered them to retreat, their speed of retreat wasn't as fast as Zhao Hai's attack. Therefore, the Holy Gate's reinforcements were still attacked. However, because they were already prepared, the Holy Gate's reinforcements quickly retreated to a safe position. Although the Sea Exploring Sect's attack this time was effective, it wasn't very effective.
