Preserving Strength
(Page 1/1)
After hearing Lin Yun's words, the Sea King immediately said, "I've contacted the Ghost Face Sect, the Seven Blades Clan, and the Gang of Ten. They've encountered the same problem as you. Since the beginning of the war, they haven't encountered any direct troops of the Sacred Alliance. They've won these few battles too easily.
"Moreover, the Sacred Alliance's intelligence network is very impressive. They must know that we're scattered in seven regions, and it'll take some time for us to reinforce each other.
"If they really want to take over the Immortal Spirit Mountain Range, they can just send their direct troops to attack one of the regions.
"They've gone through so much trouble to surround the entire Immortal Spirit Mountain Range and then sent some small fries to attack us. Apart from sending them to their deaths, they're just wasting our strength. Apart from that, there's no use at all."
Lin Yun frowned. Looking at the current situation, the Sacred Alliance's goal in this battle was definitely not as simple as taking over the Immortal Spirit Mountain Range.
Were they preserving the strength of their direct troops in preparation for another battle in the future?
Perhaps the final battlefield was not the Immortal Spirit Mountain Range!
At this thought, a light flashed in Lin Yun's mind. He felt that everything could be connected.
Lin Yun continued to ask, "If I remember correctly, the Holy Church didn't send their direct troops this time either?"
"That's right. The Holy Church's direct troops have been guarding the middle of the Immortal Spirit Mountain Range. They say it's to preserve their strength." The Sea King's words were a little sarcastic. It was obvious that he was unhappy that they were fighting at the frontlines while the Anti-Union Religion had been sitting back and doing nothing.
The Sea King's words gave Lin Yun an idea.
From the looks of it, the final battlefield between the Sacred Alliance and the Anti-Union Religion was not the Immortal Spirit Mountain Range, but somewhere else.
That was why both sides chose to bide their time and preserve the strength of their direct troops.
The Sacred Alliance's slave army, the Anti-Union Religion's slave army, and the soldiers of The Seven Devils were actually just pawns.
"Sect Leader Lin, there's another thing that I think I need to tell you." The Ocean King's tone was a little serious.
"What is it?" Lin Yun asked curiously.
The Sea King pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice, "The intelligence department has also withdrawn their direct troops since yesterday. They've only sent out the slave legion under their command."
This piece of news was exceptionally important. Lin Yun also sank into deep thought.
The information system controlled by the Intelligence Faction could be said to be the best in the Divine Territory. Presumably, the Intelligence Faction also knew the true purpose of the war between the Sacred Alliance and the Anti-Union Religion.
That was why the intelligence department chose to use the strategy of preserving their strength.
The Sea King suggested, "Faction Leader Lin, the direct troops of the Sacred Alliance and the Holy Church have not been mobilized since the beginning of the war. Moreover, even the intelligence department has adopted the same strategy."
"Therefore, I suggest that we adopt the same strategy as the intelligence department. We withdraw our direct troops and only send the slave troops to fight."
Lin Yun naturally understood what the Sea King meant. The Sea King wanted him to preserve his strength. After all, although the quality and quantity of the enemy's soldiers were very poor, it would still consume their direct troops in the long run.
When they were almost consumed, the Sacred Alliance's direct troops would suddenly attack, and it would be difficult for them to deal with it.
"Thank you for your kindness, Sea King. I know what to do." Lin Yun didn't really care about this proposal. After all, his direct subordinates were all mutant lifeforms, they weren't living beings. Even if they were sacrificed, he could create new ones. Thus, there was no need to send those soldiers to their deaths.
After ending the conversation with the Sea King, Lin Yun instructed Murong Fangshi and Seijen, "Pass down my order. Withdraw the Androids, the Giant Legion, and all the Wu Huang to Luoyang City. Leave only the mutated creatures to guard the city."
"For the next period of time, as long as the enemy doesn't appear, the Androids, the Giant Legion, all the Wu Huang, and the two of you will not make a move."
"If there are too many enemies and the mutated creatures can't hold the city, you can send the military and the Androids. The two of you will be in charge of the following affairs."
Murong Fangshi and Seijen nodded solemnly, indicating that they would follow all of Lin Yun's arrangements.
"What about you, Sect Master?" Seijen asked.
Lin Yun stood in front of the gate and looked into the distance. He squinted his eyes and said, "I'll infiltrate the battlefield myself. I'll see what's going on in this war."
"That's too risky, Sect Master," Murong Fangshi immediately advised.
After all, Lin Yun's identity was too special. Moreover, Lin Yun was also one of the targets that the Sacred Alliance had always wanted to capture.
If Lin Yun were to act alone and was discovered, it might attract the attention of the mighty figures of the Sacred Alliance.
"Don't worry, I have my ways. They won't be able to detect my identity," Lin Yun said confidently. Then, he turned around and walked away.
At the same time, a few hundred miles away.
In the main city of the Sea King Island, the Sea King issued a military order to his army. "Pass down my order. Withdraw all the direct troops and leave only the slave troops to defend the city!"
The Sea King's decision was also the decision of the other Devil Sect Masters.
All the Devil Sect Masters ordered their direct troops to withdraw, leaving only the Martial Master-level slave troops to defend the city.
The next morning, the attack from the Sacred Alliance's slave troops began again.
After a few days of fighting, the encirclement of the slave troops was getting smaller and smaller.
Within a few hundred miles of the Immortal Spirit Mountain Range, fierce battles were happening everywhere.
However, today's battle was different from the past.
In the past battles, the Seven Devils had slaughtered the enemy troops and emerged victorious.
However, the development of the battle today was unexpected.
In the area guarded by the Intelligence Sect, 30,000 soldiers of the Sacred Alliance's slave troops, led by two Second-level Wu Huang and a Fourth-level Wu Huang, were fighting with a group of slave troops from the Intelligence Sect.
Without the direct troops of the Intelligence Sect, it was not easy for the slave troops of the Intelligence Sect to defend against the attack from the Sacred Alliance's slave troops.
After all, the quality of the slave troops of the Intelligence Sect was even worse than that of the Sacred Alliance's slave troops.
Therefore, the battle between the two sides was very fierce and had basically reached a point where they were evenly matched.
The Intelligence Sect was not the only one who withdrew their direct troops and only left the slave troops to defend the city.
The other demonic sects also only sent out their enslaved troops, while the Martial Sages, Martial Emperors, and their direct subordinates all returned to the main cities.
