Dusk slowly rose from the forest. Wu Yang, Lei Xingfeng, Ning 'e Aba, and the others stood in the forest. There were many cultivators around them. They stood quietly as if they were waiting for something.
If one flew to the sky to take a look, they would see a large number of cultivators hiding in the forest. Many of them were standing on trees. A battle line was drawn. The entire battle line was ten kilometers long. There were more than 200,000 people in the forest. They were divided into many echelons.
Wu Yang and the others were in the first echelon, which was the so-called cannon fodder team. The team was a little messy. There were Dao Lord Patriarchs like Wu Yang and low-level cultivators at the True Human Realm. The majority of them were low-level cultivators, followed by True Monarchs. There were fewer Dao Lords and Heaven Monarchs.
Wu Yang and Lei Xingfeng leaned against a tree. The two of them were whispering. Lei Xingfeng whispered, "This is not a small problem. There is no order to the battle here. We were secretly sent here with only one order. Once we meet the enemy, we will fight. I don't even know who the enemy is!"
Ning 'e Aba was also at the side. He whispered, "This is not a battle with the cultivators. This should be the territory of the outsiders. I don't know if they will completely invade this continent or gain a foothold to rob resources. I don't know either."
Wu Yang said, "Be careful. If something is wrong, run." He had no intention of fighting to the death.
Ning 'e Aba smiled bitterly. "It is impossible to run. There must be an elite team behind us. If we run back, we will be killed."
Wu Yang nodded and said casually, "Even if we run, we will not run back."
Ning 'e Aba was confused. Not run back? Then where should we run to? He did not know that Wu Yang and Lei Xingfeng had places to run. Of course, he could not tell him.
Lei Xingfeng said, "You don't know what kind of outsiders they are?"
Ning 'e Abba said, "There are many types of outsiders. Some look like humans, and some don't. They are all very strong, or else they wouldn't have taken over so many continents."
Wu Yang and Lei Xingfeng were stunned. What did he mean by people who looked like humans and people who didn't? This was too strange, but it wasn't surprising. The two of them had only been to a few continents in the outer space. How could they know about the complexity of the races here?
Lei Xingfeng said, "The organization is terrible. I thought that we would at least understand what the enemy is like and have a plan of attack and defense. In the end … we were sent here with nothing. We just waited here like idiots. We don't even know when the enemy will arrive."
Wu Yang said, "Yeah, and they even gave us food for 10 days. I'm really impressed. Even if we have more people, even if we are the least valued group of cultivators, there is no need to waste food like this!"
Ning 'e Aba's face turned red. He knew that the two of them were complaining, but he was just a small cultivator from the Great Three Sects. He was far from the upper echelons of the Ming Ze Alliance. What could he do? He smiled bitterly. "I didn't expect it to be like this. Sigh, if I had known, I wouldn't have come. I miscalculated this time."
Lei Xingfeng asked curiously, "Oh right, what did you think it was?"
Ning 'e Aba said, "I thought … we were just cleaning up the battlefield or waiting for the elite teams to take over the mining area. We would be stationed there. This way, we would have many benefits. I didn't expect that we would all be sent to the battlefield to fight against the outsiders …"
Lei Xingfeng was enlightened. No wonder Ning 'e Aba was so enthusiastic at the start. He didn't expect that he had made a mistake. He said, "Forget it, let's just try our best to survive. When the battle starts later, don't fight too hard. Try not to use too powerful techniques and reveal your true abilities."
Ning 'e Aba asked curiously, "Why?"
Wu Yang understood. He said, "Because … the more powerful you are, the more eye-catching you will be."
Ning 'e Aba still didn't understand. He said, "If I'm powerful, of course I'll be eye-catching. What does that have to do with anything?"
Lei Xingfeng wanted to say that he was worried about Ning 'e Aba's intelligence. He said, "On the battlefield, if you are powerful and eye-catching, what will the other party do?"
Ning 'e Aba instantly understood. It was like in the dark night. If you couldn't see anything, it would be fine. However, if a torch suddenly appeared, then your attention would be drawn to it. It was the same on the battlefield. If your performance was outstanding and you were extremely powerful, then you would be the torch in the dark night. Everyone would notice you. The consequence would be that you would be attacked crazily by the other party. On the battlefield, this was no different from seeking death.
Wu Yang and Lei Xingfeng didn't intend to fight to the death for the Ming Ze Alliance. They were just here to observe and understand the situation.
Ning 'e Aba wiped his sweat and said, "I understand. Don't worry, I won't be too rash." He also understood that once he exploded, it would affect the people around him. That was why Wu Yang and Lei Xingfeng reminded him.
Wu Yang said, "How long do we have to wait?"
Lei Xingfeng said, "There was no notice at all. It's ridiculous. As fighters, we don't know anything. What a joke."
Ning 'e Aba was also helpless. He said, "Let's wait. We have no way of knowing these things."
Wu Yang couldn't help but shake his head. He felt that the Ming Ze Alliance was a little messy. He said, "Maybe there are too many cultivators, so … they don't care about us at all."
Ning 'e Aba was dizzy from the two's words. However, he had to admit that the Ming Ze Alliance, which was originally worshipped like a god, had many problems.
He didn't know that the Ming Ze Alliance had always planned to deplete the power of the small and medium sects and weaken the power of the large sects. This was no secret. Once the power of their subordinates increased, the Ming Ze Alliance would launch a large-scale war to conquer the continent and seize resources. They could also deplete the excess power. It should be known that these middle and high level cultivators were the ones who expended the most resources. Even if the Ming Ze Alliance occupied a large amount of land, it wouldn't be enough for these people. Hence, war was the best choice.
Actually, Lei Xingfeng had been thinking about this question. That was why the Ming Ze Alliance was doing this. He believed that this wasn't negligence. An alliance that had conquered a large amount of land and liked to conquer other continents. After so many years of war, how could they be so undisciplined? This didn't make sense. He had a vague idea. However, he didn't think about it in detail. After all, the battle was about to start.
"Don't rush around like a fool. The three of us should stay calm. Once the battle starts, try to stay in the middle and back of the group. Don't rush to the front."
Wu Yang reminded them. To him, the victory of the Ming Ze Alliance was meaningless. His goal was to stay alive and not be exposed.
This time, Ning 'e Abba did not object. He also had doubts in his heart. A person with doubts would not become a fool. He looked at the cultivators around him. Each of them had an impatient look on their faces. Many of them had an eager look on their faces. Ning' e Abba could not help but feel a chill in his heart.
Not far ahead was a small stream. There was a small clearing filled with shrubs and weeds. The forest in the distance was immersed in a faint fog. Even with Lei Xingfeng's eyesight, he couldn't see far. Lei Xingfeng looked back. There were many people behind him. Some were sitting, some were standing, and some were climbing up trees. Even more people were like the three of them. They leaned against trees and waited quietly.
Suddenly, countless birds flew out from the forest. Lei Xingfeng stared and said, "They're here!"
Ning 'e Abba said, "What? What's here? "
Lei Xingfeng looked down on this guy. He said, "The birds are flying. This means that something is coming from the forest below. So many birds are flying. This means that something is walking below. The scale is huge … This means that they are here!"
Ning 'e Abba really didn't know that there was such a trick. Actually, many cultivators felt that something was wrong. Many of them had the same conclusion as Lei Xingfeng. They were all excited and nervous.
Wu Yang said, "Let's prepare for battle!" As he spoke, he gave a look. The three of them slowly squatted down. Wu Yang then said softly, "Don't rush to charge."
Ning 'e Abba nodded. "I know."
Lei Xingfeng narrowed his eyes. He said, "There should be hidden sentries in front, right?"
Wu Yang said, "There shouldn't be. When we came … we were the first batch. We didn't see anyone go over."
Lei Xingfeng sighed secretly. He said, "They really don't treat us as humans. They don't even have sentries."
Ning 'e Abba said, "It doesn't matter if there are sentries or not."
Lei Xingfeng said, "Indeed, it doesn't matter if there are sentries or not … There is no order at all. It's just a bunch of people waiting for another group to come and kill them. I find it strange. Is the commander's brain made of paste?"
Wu Yang smiled. "Is there a commander here?"
Ning 'e Abba said, "You are the commander!"
Wu Yang said, "Nonsense. Who told me I was the commander?"
Lei Xingfeng understood this. He had seen the records of the Star Python Records. He said, "Your uniform is the commander. The three of us are. However, we can only command those around us. If any cultivator around us is weaker than us in cultivation, we are the commanders!"
Wu Yang couldn't help but curse. He wasn't prepared at all. Otherwise, he could have organized the people around him. However, he saw someone not far away who was wearing the same uniform as him. He said, "There's a Dao Lord there too …"
Lei Xingfeng said, "I've taken note. There are a total of six or seven Dao Lord Patriarchs in this area. There are three on our side."
To be honest, whether it was Wu Yang or Lei Xingfeng, this was the first time they had seen such a strong force. Just the cannon fodder army had so many experts. Perfected Lords were worthless. There were Heavenly Lords everywhere. Even Dao Lord Patriarchs were plentiful. Back in his hometown, a Dao Lord Patriarch was a large-scale Dao Lord Patriarch. The difference between the two was unimaginable.
Wu Yang said, "They're coming, they're coming!"
