In the Land of Chaos, inside a golden bubble, Zhou Chong and Zhuge Qi were observing the surrounding environment and the deployment of their troops.
In the eight months of retreat, the strength of the Eight Armies of the Wei Yang Empire was preserved.
"They have fallen into our trap." Zhou Chong came to a conclusion from the information gathered by Wan Tong.
They did not have the will of Ye Tianze, but Wan Tong's information was like their eyes in the Land of Chaos.
The cultivators of the Dark Department were constantly sending information, allowing them to quickly find out the movements of their opponents. This was also Wan Tong's specialty.
The allied forces of the ten thousand worlds seemed to have occupied most of the homes, but in fact, they had only chased the Desolate Tribe away from these homes.
Previously, when they were formulating the strategy to resist the allied forces of the ten thousand worlds, Zhou Chong and Zhuge Qi had ordered the cultivators guarding these homes to retreat in advance.
However, Wan Tong had left the cultivators of the Dark Department in these homes to gather information. Once the allied forces of the ten thousand worlds arrived, they would use a special method to send the information out and gather it in the army.
It could be said that the reason why the Eight Armies of the Wei Yang Empire could retreat so smoothly and cause some damage to the allied forces of the ten thousand worlds was because of these countless pairs of eyes.
"Yes, it's time to close our pockets!" Zhuge Qi said.
"Pass down the order. Black Gold Legion Zhao Fan and Tai Yue Legion Shi Yan, these two legions should stop retreating immediately. The front troops will become the rear troops and block the enemy."
Zhou Chong said, "Pass down the order to Thunder Legion Gao Canyun and Vulcan Legion Tang Tianjun to attack from the left and right flanks. Pass down the order to Lin Yuan Legion Ye Qing and Shan Navy Shui Bingyue to go around the main battlefield and block the enemy's retreat. No matter what, they have to hold on. If they let a cultivator of the allied forces escape, they will pay me with their heads!"
His personal guards immediately took the command flag and went to pass down the order. In the end, Zhou Chong stroked his chin and said, "Storm Legion and Heaven's Equal Legion should have reached the exit of the Path of Heaven by now!"
"With Feng Wu Hui and Yuan Mo's speed, they shouldn't be far from the Heavenly Path." Zhuge Qi said.
Zhou Chong nodded and said, "Now, we can only wait for their good news!"
Zhuge Qi didn't say anything. The trap had already been set. As for the specific tactics, it was up to Tang Tianjun and the others.
At this moment, the only thing they could do was to make some minor adjustments during the course of the war. Bypassing the main general of the army and directly commanding an army on the battlefield was a taboo for military strategists.
The role of a commander-in-chief was to formulate strategies and tactics. As for how to execute them, that was the responsibility of the generals under him.
Both Zhou Chong and Zhuge Qi had thought it through carefully before making such a deployment.
After the order was passed down, the first to receive it were Zhao Fan's Xuan Jin Legion and Shi Yan's Tai Yue Legion.
The two legions had been driven like ducks along the way and basically didn't have much contact with the allied forces of the ten thousand realms. Even in the first attack, the Vulcan Legion and Thunder Legion were the main attackers. They were the last to cover the retreat, so their losses were the most severe.
After receiving the military order, Zhao Fan was stunned for a moment. After carefully confirming that it was an order from the Grand Marshal, a deep smile appeared on his face.
"Pass down the order. The front troops will be the rear troops. Turn around and f * ck them up!" Zhao Fan ordered.
The entire Black Gold Army immediately began to move. It was not easy for hundreds of millions of soldiers to pass down orders in a short period of time and deploy quickly.
However, the Xuan Jin Legion only used two hours to complete the deployment, which would normally take at least a few hours.
After being driven like ducks for so long, the soldiers of the Xuan Jin Legion were filled with anger.
The Tai Yue Legion was the same. After Shi Yan received the order, he immediately checked the authenticity of the flag. Then, he swung his arms and laughed. "It's finally our turn to eat meat. Pass down the order. The front troops will be the rear troops and stop the enemy. If we let a cultivator of the ten thousand realms escape from our defense line, I'll chop off your heads!"
After the order was given, the entire Tai Yue Legion immediately howled like wolf cubs. Their eyes shone with a scarlet light.
Just like that, the allied forces of the ten thousand realms were suddenly blocked by the Xuan Jin Legion and Tai Yue Legion during their pursuit.
The two legions were like two mountains, blocking the vanguard of the allied forces of the ten thousand realms within their defense line.
The allied forces of the ten thousand realms hadn't encountered any decent resistance during their eight months of continuous pursuit. When they saw the two legions suddenly confronting them head-on, they didn't care at all.
However, they didn't expect that they would encounter the Tai Yue Legion and Xuan Jin Legion, which were best at defense. The Tai Yue Legion was like a mountain, standing in front of them unmoving.
The Xuan Jin Legion was more like a shield. No matter how ferocious their attacks were, the shield stood firm and didn't fall.
After several days of continuous attack, the allied forces still couldn't break through even when the main force of the allied forces arrived. The entire area was shrouded in the sound of fighting and the light of yuan qi.
It wasn't until nearly ten days after the attack that Jia Wudao, the commander of the allied forces, received the news. The news he received was from ten days ago.
However, he knew that the situation couldn't be reversed. Moreover, the allied forces of the ten thousand realms weren't inferior to these ants at all.
Therefore, Jia Wudao didn't order the allied forces to wait for further orders. Instead, he charged forward in a spurt of energy.
However, it wasn't until twenty days later that he received the news that the vanguard of the allied forces had been attacking for ten days and still couldn't break through the enemy's defense line, let alone crush them.
The main force of the allied forces then pressed forward. Both sides fought for several days, but the results were minimal. These ants in their eyes seemed to have changed into another person. They were as ferocious as tigers.
"Ten days ago, why is our battle report so slow?" Jia Wudao's face was gloomy.
The soldiers beside him didn't dare to speak. After all, this wasn't the army of the Feather Spirit Race. Naturally, he couldn't command them as he wished.
"Reporting to the Grand Marshal. After all, it's an army of one billion. It's spread out for tens of thousands of miles. It'll take at least three to five days for the order to be passed on. It'll also take three to five days for the report to arrive."
A strategist beside him explained.
Jia Wudao didn't say anything else. He wasn't stupid. He naturally knew that it wasn't easy to command an army of one billion.
He had been chosen because he was a powerhouse of the Limitless Path, so he could hold his ground. Furthermore, the Feather Spirit Race was relatively neutral among the ten thousand realms. They weren't too close to the two great civilizations of the void and the Mysterious Underworld. Thus, he had a chance.
However, at this moment, another piece of bad news came. "Reporting to the Grand Marshal, we've just received a battle report. Troops of the Primitive Tribe have appeared on both sides of the allied forces. Their numbers are unknown. They came into contact with us roughly ten days ago. I'm afraid they're currently in battle with us!"
Jia Wudao's face turned even colder when he heard this. "It seems that the Primitive Tribe has been pretending to be weak. They want to catch us all in one fell swoop!"
"They're like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. They're overestimating themselves!" A strategist said. "That's good. We don't need to chase after them. We can finish them off here!"
"What about the shuttles used to transport resources?" Jia Wudao suddenly asked. "You must guard these shuttles well. There's an army of one billion inside. It's nearly three years worth of resources."
"Don't worry, Grand Marshal. The shuttles have been following the army." The strategist in charge of logistics said.
"That's good!" Jia Wudao heaved a sigh of relief. "They want to set up a pocket formation for us. Let's do as they wish. Let's see who's surrounded who!"
