One day passed.
"Not good, Commander! Several teams of the Monster Clan and Shura Clan fought with the humans and were annihilated!" The scout reported.
"What happened? Didn't I order them not to attack unless they saw the humans scattered?" Ao Shuo said coldly.
"The humans deliberately scattered to lure us over, so …" The scout lowered his head and said.
The scout lowered his head. "But they quickly gathered again. The small team hidden behind them was blinded by bloodlust and followed them out. They were defeated and returned with more than three hundred casualties."
Ao Shuo's face changed. "What's going on? It's been two days. Why haven't the humans scattered?"
"It's not that the humans didn't scatter. We observed that some of the humans did leave the formation, but … the Tiger Guards would kill anyone who left the formation without permission," the scout said.
The scout said, "After that, no one dared to leave the formation. They were separated by seven thousand people and were only ten miles apart. Once one of the groups was attacked, the other group would immediately come back. The rest of the groups would follow closely behind and form an encirclement!"
Ao Shuo almost fell to the ground when he heard this. "Who is the commander of the humans?"
"The commander seems to be a man called Zhou Chong. He's a young genius," the scout said.
"Zhou Chong!" Ao Shuo's face was very ugly.
Ye Tianze was enough for him to deal with. How come there was also Zhou Chong? He had never heard of this name, let alone any news about him.
But what made him feel the most terrified was the strict obedience of this army. If anyone dared to leave the formation, they would be killed immediately. How cruel was this?
So, it was impossible for him to find a flaw unless the commander of the other side was kicked in the head by a donkey.
"This Zhou Chong …" Ao Shuo felt a little uncomfortable.
Before this, he had never put the humans in his eyes. But now, he realized that the humans were full of talents and they had just won a great victory.
The humans immediately organized an army to bite back. And indeed, they had bitten the humans where it hurt.
No matter how many humans he killed here, as long as they continued to climb the mountain, he wouldn't be able to explain himself when he returned to the Divine Castle.
This was also what made him feel the most uncomfortable. If the Human Race continued to be like this, they would only be able to affect the Human Race if they sent more troops and more hunters.
Fortunately, he had prepared for both sides. He said, "Have the Monster Race and the Shura Race sent out their armies? We can still swallow these seven thousand people if we cut off their escape route."
"This …" The two commanders immediately ordered someone to rush him.
An hour later, a scout came back with news. "Commander, the Demon Race and Shura Race's armies are unable to move."
"Why can't …" Ao Shuo swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
He understood why.
As expected, the scout guessed his intentions after hearing half of his words. He said, "The White Tiger Army is keeping the demons and Asura in check. When they advance, the White Tiger Army advances. When they retreat, the White Tiger Army retreats."
"I only want twenty thousand people!" Ao Shuo said angrily.
"They can't move. The White Tiger Army has sent troops to monitor them. If they leave the camp, they may be cut off and annihilated by the White Tiger Army."
The scout said.
The Monster Race Commander said bitterly, "Most of our people are gathered at the Wu people's camp to monitor the Wu people's movements. If we mobilize the army to fight against the White Tiger Army, the troops monitoring the Wu people will have no backup."
When the Shura Tribe commander heard this, although his expression was ferocious, he still nodded his head. The same thing was no different from the Demon Race.
"What a good Lu Xiufu! This guy is determined to form an alliance with the Sorcerer Tribe. He's going to go against our three tribes!" Ao Shuo clenched his fists.
"How about we fight against the Human Race? We have at least five thousand hunters. These hunters have been on Buzhou Mountain for a long time. We may not lose!"
The Monster Race Commander said.
"Why can't I explain it to you? If a hunter were to face a soldier one on one, he would definitely be able to crush them. But … when a group of hunters face an army that is in formation, no matter how strong you are, as long as you don't break their formation, they will split you up and kill you in the end! "
Ao Shuo said.
"We know that, but our goal is to stop the Human Race from climbing the mountain. If the Human Race continues to climb the mountain, we will not be able to explain it to them when we go back. They have tasted the benefits and more Human Race will come. Once they start to build a base here, it will be difficult for us to suppress the Human Race in the future!"
The Monster Race Commander said.
Ao Shuo was silent. He knew that he should have the courage to break his wrist, but … he was hesitant.
Because Ao Shuo knew that if he killed the remaining five thousand hunters and achieved his goal, even if he went back to the Divine Castle, he might not be able to get away with it.
However, if he ignored the Human Race and let them continue to advance, he would not be able to get away with it. He might even be punished by the military.
So, he should choose to kill the five thousand hunters and hurt the Human Race so that they would not dare to touch Buzhou Mountain again.
But … it was not that Ao Shuo did not want to do that, but … the five thousand hunters might not be able to defeat the seven thousand Human Race.
If they failed, the Human Race's morale would be greatly boosted. Not only would they fail to achieve their goal, but it would also further increase the Human Race's morale.
There were two choices in front of him. If it was before, Ao Shuo would have already made a decision. But now, he was a criminal.
"Retreat!"
Ao Shuo said. "Retreat immediately. They can't stay in Buzhou Mountain for too long. We will retreat first. They won't be able to stay for long, so they will go down and we will come back. If they come back, we will find another opportunity. Let's see who can outlast the other."
The Monster Race Commander and the Shura Commander were unwilling, but it seemed to be the best choice. Anyway, Ao Shuo was the Commander, so he would be the one to take the blame, not them. They were not of the same race, so if there was a problem, they would not take the blame.
Zhou Chong, who was in the center of the Seven Great Armies of the Human Race, received the news. This was his first time leading an army, so he was very cautious.
Besides him, among the geniuses, Gao Cainyun, Dugu Nuoyan, and the others also led their own armies. Master Ming did not come out. He and Lee Chao-young stayed in the Stone City, preparing to let the geniuses gain experience.
Master Ming was not worried because there were one thousand Tiger Guards in the Seven Great Armies to support the geniuses.
If there were no one thousand Tiger Guards in the Great Armies, Master Ming would not dare to let the geniuses come to the trial.
In fact, Zhou Chong was a very good commander. He came from the Divine General's Mansion, so he had not neglected the art of war.
In addition, Zhuge Qi was on the side giving him advice. They had advanced two hundred miles, but not only did they not gain any advantage, they even killed hundreds of them.
After receiving the news that the aliens had retreated, Zhou Chong immediately summoned all the generals of the Seven Great Armies to report the casualties and discuss the situation.
After summarizing, Zhou Chong said, "It seems that there are less than ten thousand aliens. After the previous battle, there are at most five thousand of them left."
"We killed hundreds of aliens and lost dozens of men."
Gao Cainyun said, "These guys are all strong. If it's a one-on-one fight, I'm afraid only a few people in our team can compete with them. But if we form a formation, they can only stare at us. If they dare to come up, we'll attack together!"
"The non-human race didn't send elites. They're hunters."
Zhuge Qi said, "We have our advantages. Our advantage is that we can travel in a formation. Although it is not convenient to spread out in Buzhou Mountain, as long as we are not confused and stay together, we can kill as many as they come."
"But now that the aliens have retreated," Qingkong Yulian said, "this is not good news for us."
"No, on the contrary, I think this is good news. It seems that they don't want to fight with us and want us to retreat, but in fact, they can't do anything to us," Yu Shuang said.
"Although Buzhou Mountain is dangerous, it is not as terrible as we thought. Now we are just stalling for time."
"You're right. Right now, the outsiders are trying to stall for time with us," Nie Tian said. Zhuge Qi said, "They think we will retreat, but we won't. Retreating is what they want."
"What do you mean, military counselor?" Gao Cainyun asked.
"I know, I know …" A voice said, "What the military counselor means is that we find a place that is easy to defend and set up camp. The spiritual energy in Buzhou Mountain is ten times richer than the spiritual energy in Stone City. Cultivation is not a problem, and eating is not a problem either. We can send two brigades out to hunt, collect herbs, and collect the corpses left behind by the alliances. When we go back, we can give … give an explanation."
Everyone looked at this person in surprise. When this person saw that everyone was looking at him, he blushed and lowered his head.
This person was none other than Shanhai Fu. She was in charge of the Water Division of the Tiger Seven Brigades. The Water Division was mostly made up of disciples of the Taiyin Sect, and they all cultivated water spiritual energy.
As the personal disciple of the City Lord, Shanhai Fu was naturally doted on, especially by the Tiger Guards. They treated Shanhai Fu like their own daughter.
They were willing to teach her everything, even some of their own life-saving skills on the battlefield.
This time, Shanhai Fu's brigade had the most Tiger Guards. Basically, no one dared to disobey her orders.
"Girl, why are you blushing? You didn't say anything wrong, and what you said is very reasonable."
Feng Wu Hui walked over and patted her shoulder, "As expected, you have inherited big brother's teachings."
Shanhai Fu lowered her head even more and hid behind a few Tiger Guards with a red face.
"Then it's decided. The seven brigades will be divided into three groups. Every time, two brigades will go out to hunt, and three brigades will be stationed. They will take turns to go out. Do not go beyond ten li. If you encounter a foreign race, don't fight them head on. Just delay them and wait for reinforcements."
Zhuge Qi said, "It's war. Naturally, we have to use our strengths to attack the enemy's weakness. Since we have to put on a show, then let's do it well. Let Stone City send us array masters and blacksmiths. We will set up a stronghold."
A few days later, Ao Shuo received news that the human race had set up camp in Buzhou Mountain.
"What did you say? They set up camp?" Ao Shuo's expression was not good.
"They seem … to not plan to leave." The scout said, "I saw blacksmiths and array masters enter their camp. They seem to be preparing to set up a stronghold here."
Ao Shuo's face was very ugly. The two commanders of the Monster Race and the Shura Race didn't say anything. Obviously, they didn't want to get involved. The ones who were in a dilemma now weren't the humans, but them.
One side was working together, while the other side was harboring evil intentions. Ao Shuo knew that he didn't have any chance this time.
"Let's fight them!"
Ao Shuo finally made a decision, "Ten Warriors Squad, Five Warriors Squad, attack from all sides. I don't believe that they can outlast us."
He didn't know that outside their camp, a beetle had flown out in a hurry.
The beetle flew five kilometers away and transformed into Ye Tianze. "Well done," he said. "I never would have thought that you would force Ao Shuo to this point. Didn't you say you were going to attack from all sides? Good, when your camp is empty, I will take your head. I wonder how much the head of a famous God Race general is worth? "
