Inside the Great Five Alliance's tent.
Bai Richu and the five alliance leaders were sitting together. The scouts kept reporting the battle, so they knew the situation like the back of their hand.
According to their plan, when the battle between Stone City and the aliens was almost over, they would immediately take action to defeat the aliens and occupy Stone City.
Or it could be said that when the outsiders were defeated by Ye Tianze, they would swarm up and attack Ye Tianze like Mount Tai crushing an egg, forcing him to submit.
At that time, they would be able to take over Stone City without any effort.
However, when the scouts reported that Stone City's people had actually beaten back the alien army, the five leaders couldn't help but change their expressions.
"It shouldn't be, Stone City only has five thousand Tiger Guards. Although their stronghold was upgraded to an advanced stronghold in a short time, how could they be defeated?"
The Northern Alliance Leader asked curiously.
"What the hell is going on? We know the strength of the Divine Race's Golden-armoured Divine Guards. Even if we have a hundred thousand troops, we may not be able to annihilate them all. Stone City's great formation has been breached.
The Western Alliance Leader said.
They had fought with the aliens many times, so they knew how strong the Golden Armored Divine Guards were.
Immediately, the scout narrated the entire process of the battle. When the five alliance leaders heard that Shi Cheng had actually shot out hundreds of thousands of crossbow bolts in such a short period of time, their eyes widened in shock.
"This Ye Tianze, is he crazy? How can he fight like this? Even if he defeated the aliens, how many waves of attacks can he resist?"
The Northern Alliance Leader said.
"Extravagant, really extravagant. He's not using the army's resources as resources." The Eastern Alliance Leader said.
"Although it's extravagant, but … it's very effective."
Bai Richu, who had been silent, said, "This kid is very smart. He knows very well that if the city is breached, the resources will fall into our hands. So he might as well shoot them all."
"What a good plan."
The Southern Alliance Leader said, "However, he's just a cornered beast. It's good to let him exhaust some of the aliens' strength. When we attack, the aliens will have to think twice."
"This isn't as simple as a scheme."
Bai Ri Chu said, "This is also a battle tactic that has been used for a long time. In the past, when the human race fought against the alien race, they would always conserve their resources. For example, when the human warriors are defending, most of the time, they would aim for the arrows to hit the enemy."
Speaking of this, Bai Ri Chu paused, "With the resources of the human race, it is indeed necessary to do so. However, when fighting against the alien race, it is completely different. I have seen many cases of people losing their lives in the end because of saving resources on the battlefield. Ye Tian Ze's tactic is very good. He indiscriminately shot the crossbow bolts and blocked all the attacking routes. Even if it was the alien race's elite troops, it is impossible for them not to make any mistakes. As long as there is a slight flaw, it will lead to a total collapse. This is the result of the alien race's elite troops. If it were the alien race's regular troops, I don't know how many casualties there would be!"
Bai Ri Chu's words made the five alliance leaders speechless. Although they didn't want to admit it, they knew that what he said was very reasonable. They didn't want to admit it because Ye Tianze used this tactic, so they didn't want to admit it.
"This kid … is not only a hothead, but also a tactical genius. There are two benefits to him doing this. First, he can reduce the arrogance of the aliens. Second … he can win people's hearts. I estimate that the five thousand Tiger Guards would be willing to die for him."
Bai Ri Chu said.
"Mr. Ri Chu, don't always praise others and diminish our prestige. We didn't come here to listen to you praise this little bastard."
The Southern Alliance Leader said, "We have gathered a hundred thousand troops here and are consuming resources all the time. This time, we can't let him escape!"
"He is indeed a super tactical genius and has extraordinary strength, but … he's already at the end of his rope. As I said just now, he's just a cornered beast."
Bai Ri Chu said, "Now, we have two choices. The first is to wait for the aliens to attack for a few rounds. When both sides are exhausted, we will divide our forces. One side will defeat the aliens, while the other side will break into Stone City."
"What's the second choice?" Several people asked.
"Wait for the aliens to break into Stone City. But if I'm not wrong, the aliens won't think of occupying Stone City. After all, we're like a tiger watching its prey. They don't want to make a wedding dress for us."
Bai Ri Chu continued, "So, after a few rounds of attacks, the aliens might not attack anymore. In that case, we will press forward and directly occupy Stone City. Then, we will have a decisive battle with the aliens."
"Of course, the first choice is better, but we need the cooperation of the aliens." The Northern Alliance Leader said.
"But I know that the aliens won't cooperate with us. They're not idiots."
Bai Ri Chu said, "So, the second choice is more likely. Let the army prepare to attack at any time."
"Reporting, reporting to the five alliance leaders, the aliens have stopped attacking."
A scout hurriedly rushed into the tent. "The allied forces of the three races have all retreated five miles away from Stone City."
The five alliance leaders' expressions changed. They looked at Bai Ri Chu, because this was exactly what Bai Ri Chu had imagined.
"Don't just watch. Let's go. We'll go to Stone City and meet Ye Tianze. If he's willing to submit, that's for the best. If he's unwilling, then we'll go and destroy them. After all, the Tiger Guards can only defend against the aliens. They can't interfere with the attacks of their own race!"
Bai Ri Chu smiled.
At the same time, Ye Tianze also saw that the aliens had retreated. He frowned and looked towards the depths of Mount Buzhou.
"The Wu people are finally here."
Ye Tianze knew very well that even if the Great Five Alliance gathered a hundred thousand soldiers behind them, the allied forces of the three races wouldn't be afraid.
However, if the Wu people were here, the three races would definitely use all their strength to deal with them. So, the three races suddenly stopped attacking because they had smelled the scent of the Wu people.
"With the Wu people's temperament, they're probably planning to watch the tigers fight. They'll only make a move after we've exhausted most of the forces of the three races!"
Ye Tianze thought to himself.
At this time, a scout from West City reported, "City Lord, the Great Five Alliance's hundred thousand soldiers are approaching our East City. It seems that they're preparing to take over our stronghold."
Lord Father Ming's expression changed. He was about to lead the army to defend, but Lu Ran stopped him, "The Tiger Guards are only responsible for defending against the aliens. This is the rule!"
Lord Father Ming gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do. The rules of the army were rules. The Tiger Guards couldn't fight among themselves. Otherwise, they would be going against the Great Five Alliance.
The White Tiger Corps and the Great Five Alliance relied on each other. White Tiger Lu Xiufu had to balance this.
"The Great Five Alliance has come at just the right time. Now that the aliens have retreated, if the Great Five Alliance is willing to enter Stone City and help defend against the aliens, the allied forces of the three races will collapse on their own."
Lu Ran said, "You have to consider this carefully. The benefits of Stone City aren't just for you. Protecting the stronghold is protecting the entire human race's path to the top. You're also a human. You have to make some contributions to your race."
The Tiger Guards didn't say a word. Although they admired Ye Tianze and were willing to die for him, they were still soldiers of the White Tiger Corps. They were soldiers of the human race, not soldiers of a single person.
Only the geniuses were indignant. Tang Yao said, "We fought with our lives on the line against the aliens while they watched from behind. Now that we've defeated the aliens, they want to attack us. How can we give our stronghold to these shameless bastards?!"
"Yeah, these people are truly shameless!" Qingkong Yulian said.
"But if we don't hand over the stronghold, we won't be able to defend it. You all saw the aliens' attack just now. We don't have enough crossbows to push them back a few more times. Without reinforcements from the Great Five Alliance, it's only a matter of time before we fall."
Zhuge Qi said.
"So, you want to hand over the stronghold to the Great Five Alliance? I'm afraid that once they take over the stronghold, the first thing they'll do will be to kill us all! "Zhou Chong said.
"City Lord, let's fight it out with them!" Dugu Nuoyan said. "I'd rather die standing than live kneeling."
Everyone chimed in. The Tiger Guards lowered their heads. They really wanted to lend a hand to the geniuses, but they couldn't because of military rules. Unless they retired one day and joined Stone City.
Everyone looked at Ye Tianze. Ye Tianze slowly stood up and swept his gaze over them. "Stop arguing. Just give them the stronghold."
Hearing this, Lu Ran's face lit up. He asked, "Really?"
The geniuses looked at Ye Tianze in disbelief. This wasn't the Ye Tianze they knew.
"I'll give it to them if they have the ability to take it away. If they don't, then they'll have to leave their lives behind."
Ye Tianze said. "You all stay here and watch the aliens. I'll go to the west side of the city to deal with this bunch of chickens and dogs."
"We'll go with you," Gao Cenyun said.
This time, Ye Tianze didn't refuse. He smiled and said, "Okay, you can come with me."
At this point, he called his master, Ming, over and sent a message to him. "Later, if the Outsiders attack again, once you've used up all your arrows, go out of the city and fight them. No matter what happens, don't stop fighting, even if the Sorcerer Tribe comes!"
Without waiting for Master Ming to say anything, Ye Tianze had already left with the young geniuses.
He stood there in a daze for a long time. Then Lu Ran suddenly asked, "What's wrong with you? Remember, you're a Tiger Guard, a soldier of the White Tiger Legion, not Ye Tianze's private army! "
"I know." Master Ming knew. "I won't betray the legion."
"As long as you understand. Right, what did he say to you?" Lu Ran asked again.
"Nothing much," Master Ming said half-heartedly. "He just told me … some things about defense."
Lu Ran obviously wouldn't believe him so easily, but he didn't ask any more questions in front of the enemy.
At the same time, on Mount Buzhou, Hou Yuan had arrived with the Wu people's army. The Wu people also had ten thousand elites.
But compared to the allied forces of the three races, the Wu people's elites were actually better.
"Master, the Immortals have discovered us," a scout reported. "Should we attack now?"
"So what if they've discovered us? Why should we attack?" Hou Yuan asked.
"But the Wizard Alliance ordered us to help the humans defend their stronghold and lure them into Mount Buzhou. We'll attack the three races with the Wu people," a lieutenant said.
"That's the Wizard Alliance's order, but … the Wizard Alliance didn't say when we should attack," Hou Yuan said.
"Let the humans stall for a while longer. After all, it's the allied forces of the three races. What if they join forces and attack us? Don't be anxious. Wait a little longer. Let's sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. Don't forget, a few months ago, five hundred elites of our Sorcerer Tribe were killed like this. And that guy is watching from that city! "
