Masakazu Tōno had never expected that the Vulcan Legion had been pretending to be weak all this while. They had used the first echelon as bait and divided it into eight echelons to continuously attack the Mysterious Underworld Race.
Six of the seven attacks had gone smoothly. However, these six attacks had been a trap set up by the Mysterious Underworld Race. Even Masakazu Tōno, who was watching from a god-like perspective, hadn't been able to tell that the Mysterious Underworld Race was actually pretending to be weak.
The Mysterious Underworld Race naturally let down their guard after the eighth attack, which was the real counterattack of the Vulcan Legion.
The Mysterious Underworld Army, which had encountered resistance, didn't make an effective response right away. They thought that since the previous seven attacks had gone so smoothly, the eighth time they encountered some resistance might very well be the end of the Fire God Legion's tether.
As long as they defeated the million-strong eighth echelon, they would be able to defeat the entire Vulcan Legion in one fell swoop.
However, they hadn't expected that the eighth echelon's fighting strength would far surpass the previous six echelons. When they finally reacted and recalculated, they discovered that the Vulcan Legion had already surrounded them.
The attacks of the eight echelons had exhausted the Mysterious Underworld Race a little. Furthermore, they were currently surrounded. The Mysterious Underworld Race realized that the casualty ratio wasn't one to ten anymore, but one to five.
Even though they were surrounded, they were still able to achieve a casualty ratio of one to five. This showed how formidable the Mysterious Underworld Race soldiers were.
Masakazu Tōno frowned as he glanced at Ye Tianze. The scales of victory rested firmly in their hands.
However, he knew that the price they would have to pay was extremely high. He also didn't dare spout nonsense like before.
If the Mysterious Underworld Race made any more mistakes, this million-strong army could really be buried there.
Ever since the Mysterious Underworld Race had become the overlord of the myriad realms, no civilization had ever managed to annihilate a million-strong army of the Mysterious Underworld Race.
Some ancient civilizations had the ability to do so, but the Mysterious Underworld Race wouldn't go so deep alone.
However, there wasn't a civilization behind this army. This was just a race with no more than 10 billion people.
And in order to become a civilization, one must have their own value system and cultivation system, as well as the foundation to establish a civilization!
This was also why this race was so terrifying. Masakazu Tōno didn't dare to imagine how terrifying it would be if this race really established a civilization.
Of course, he knew that this was impossible. In the myriad of worlds, such a race establishing a civilization was tantamount to a fool's dream.
"If we continue to fight like this, we'll lose one to five. It's not worth it!" Zhu Que suddenly said.
"Let's keep watching. Dragging this out is beneficial to us!" Ye Tianze said.
"You don't really think that a ratio of one to five is enough to exhaust our army to death, do you?"
Masakazu Tōno couldn't believe it when he heard their conversation. Thus, he immediately retorted, "Then you're wrong. The more you drag this out, the more disadvantageous it will be for you!"
Just as Masakazu Tōno had said, the changes in the battlefield had far exceeded Tang Tianjun's expectations. They had already completed the encirclement and had an absolute advantage in terms of numbers. However, even if they couldn't destroy the Mysterious Underworld Race, it would still be very difficult to break through their defenses.
As time passed, they continued to fight. The ratio of five to one at the start of the encirclement became seven to one and even eight to one. This was already close to the previous ratio.
The entire Vulcan Legion felt extremely uncomfortable. The encirclement of the Mysterious Underworld Race army was like a hedgehog that they couldn't do anything about.
This hedgehog would rush over from time to time and take a bite out of their bodies.
Tang Tianjun's reaction was extremely quick. He reacted immediately and didn't confront the enemy head-on. He didn't seek to break through their defenses either. He just wanted to surround them!
This simple tactical challenge yielded great results. When the Mysterious Underworld Race realized that the Vulcan Legion wasn't attacking, they thought that their morale had been greatly damaged and immediately started to break out of the encirclement.
However, when they broke out of the encirclement, the Vulcan Legion didn't retreat. Instead, they unleashed a power that exceeded their limits and prevented them from breaking out.
The Mysterious Underworld Race tried to break out of the encirclement a few times, but they all failed. They had no choice but to retreat and continue to defend while waiting for the Vulcan Legion to attack.
However, the Vulcan Legion didn't seem to have any intention of attacking. Tang Tianjun immediately ordered that, except for the warriors at the very front, all the warriors at the back started to consume elixirs to recover.
The Mysterious Underworld Race had become the overlords of many realms, so they had naturally faced countless enemies and seen countless wonderful battle tactics.
However, the battle tactics of the army before them made them feel somewhat helpless. Their opponent was clearly weaker than them. Even though they had a huge advantage in terms of numbers, they still couldn't achieve a balance in terms of strength.
However, they had never seen such a battle tactic of surrounding and not attacking. They had only surrounded them and didn't allow them to break out.
"Are we waiting for reinforcements?"
The Mysterious Underworld Race started to worry. This million-strong army seemed ferocious, but in order to avoid the eyes and ears of those powerful opponents in the myriad realms, they had actually infiltrated deep into the realms by themselves.
If this army was doubled in number, they would be completely annihilated. Not a single one of them would be able to escape.
Masakazu Tōno also saw this and was no longer as calm as before. He glanced at Ye Tianze and said, "What the hell are you doing? Could it be that you have reinforcements? That's impossible. How could you transport so many troops so quickly? "
This time, Ye Tianze didn't choose to remain silent. He immediately told Masakazu Tōno, "There are no reinforcements. The troops before you are all there is."
"No reinforcements?"
Masakazu Tōno didn't believe him. "Then you intend to drag this out with us? No, this isn't good for you. You should know that with the Mysterious Underworld Race's Flowing Light Armor, they can drag this out for a month! "
Masakazu Tōno wasn't stupid. What he told Ye Tianze was what Ye Tianze could roughly estimate. However, he still wasn't sure if Ye Tianze and the others had any more trump cards up their sleeves.
"Unless you personally take action!" Masakazu Tōno's expression darkened.
"Without reinforcements, I don't have to take action!" Ye Tianze said calmly.
"That's impossible. Without reinforcements, how can they win if you don't take action?" Masakazu Tōno simply didn't believe it.
Ye Tianze didn't reply. Masakazu Tōno stared at Ye Tianze and couldn't smile anymore. There was no consideration for feelings on the battlefield. Furthermore, Ye Tianze had allowed him to live until now. He didn't even know what Ye Tianze was planning.
After a few days of intense fighting, the Mysterious Underworld Race and the Desolate Race were in a deadlock.
Masakazu Tōno, who had been pleased with himself, became even more nervous. This was until the deadlock on the battlefield was broken by a series of air-piercing sounds.
There were less than 10,000 flying shuttles. Masakazu Tōno's expression changed when he saw these flying shuttles appear.
These were the Mysterious Underworld Race's flying shuttles. Masakazu Tōno thought of an extremely bad possibility when these flying shuttles suddenly appeared.
Their escape route had been cut off by the Vulcan Legion.
