Ying Jiuguang: Before the imperial guards arrive, your men should be able to take care of it.
Hao Defang: Five million elites are already in such a mess. Are you sure my men will be able to enter the Black Dragon Swamp? Who's commanding the battle? How did it end up like this?
Ying Jiuguang: Ao Fei!
Hao Defang was speechless. She knew how capable Ao Fei was. After a moment of silence, she replied: You figure it out yourself. I can't help you with this.
Ying Jiuguang: Right now, only your men are close by. They should be able to arrive in time. Name your conditions.
Hao Defang: You and him? You're like a mad dog, causing such a mess. You want me to go crazy with you? Think of something else while you still can.
She then cut off the connection with Ying Jiuguang. She turned to Su Yun and shook her head. "Ying Jiuguang is probably in deep trouble this time."
"The situation at the Black Dragon Swamp isn't under control yet?" Su Yun was a little surprised. "How did this happen?"
Hao Defang: "He said that Qing Zhu sent 500,000 imperial guards to the Black Dragon Swamp to help Niu Youde. I'm a little suspicious about this. This old man is probably trying to drag me down with him."
Su Yun, who was deep in thought, nodded slightly. "It's not likely that Qing Zhu would do something like this."
Ying Jiuguang, who was by the riverside, rang the bell a few times. When Hao Defang didn't respond, he had the urge to smash the bell in his hand.
He put away the bell and turned around. He saw that Zuo 'er's expression was clearly off. She was ringing the bell in her hand anxiously. He didn't know where she was contacting. Judging from her expression, it was obviously not good news.
Ying Jiuguang waited with a straight face. When Zuo 'er put down the bell, he asked, "What is it?"
Zuo'er tried to force the issue, "The forces from the Nether Realm gathered nearby and went to Traversing Moon Palace to demand for Niu Youde. Under our deterrence, Li Hua did not stop them. He only said that he would report this to Lord Qing. However, Niu Youde's family had long since gone into hiding. Our men returned empty-handed without any results."
Ying Jiuguang stared at her for a while. "No! What are you hiding from me? It's expected that Niu Youde's family ran away. If you didn't catch them, then you didn't catch them. There's no need for you to look like this. Speak! "
Zuo 'er really didn't want to tell him this news at this time, but since he asked, she couldn't hide it. She said worriedly, "Your Highness, I just received news from the shop on Tianjie. It said that a shop received a message from Zhe Chunqiu to transfer the property in the shop, so the shop handed over the property to the person who took over. This old servant felt that something was wrong and immediately ordered my subordinates to investigate. In the end, I discovered that over a thousand of our shops had been emptied. "
There were more than a thousand Ying Family's shops, so one could easily imagine the value of their wealth. Ying Jiuguang's eyes widened as he shouted angrily, "Are they pigs? Zhe Chunqiu has most likely fallen into Niu Youde's hands along with his unfilial son in the Black Dragon Swamp. How could he possibly order them! "
"The key is that the matter of the Black Dragon Swamp is very secretive. The subordinates don't know that Zhe Chunqiu is in the Black Dragon Swamp …" Zuo 'er said weakly. She thought that it was because someone wanted to take over Zhe Chunqiu's position and made a small report. That was why this matter was exposed. Otherwise, she was afraid that it would take a while to find out.
Ying Jiuguang's expression twitched. He didn't need to guess to know who did it. Zhe Chunqiu had most likely fallen into Niu Youde's hands. Who else could it be? He laughed mischievously and said with extreme anger, "Good! Niu Youde, you have guts … "
He was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He finally understood the feeling of when it rains, it pours. He realized that he had really bumped into Niu Youde. He set a trap in the Black Dragon Swamp, and Niu Youde caught him? Niu Youde used his clan as a hostage to resist, and he didn't hesitate to destroy the Virtuous Assembly Hall to ruin the reputation of Heavenly King Ying. Niu Youde sent people to capture Ying Jiuguang's family members, and Niu Youde sent people to destroy thousands of his shops. They were really ruthless and didn't have any friendship to speak of. They just wanted to kill each other. Now, Niu Youde was still fighting with his men in the Black Dragon Swamp, and he even captured his son, Ying Wuman.
From another point of view, he had to admit that Niu Youde had really matured. He could actually mobilize energy to attack everywhere like a mad dog. He really regretted it. He regretted not killing Niu Youde when he hadn't matured yet. Thus, he had left behind a future threat!
In the main hall of the backyard of Heavenly King Guang's Mansion, Mei Niang and her daughter had already been dismissed. The Duke of Guang and Gou Yue were guarding the side of the compass. Gou Yue kept reporting the situation of the battle that the spies had gathered.
"The eastern army is using the tactic of adding oil to the fire. Niu Youde is besieging the enemy and attacking the reinforcements. The eastern army is using human lives to delay the enemy. Isn't Niu Youde afraid that the enemy's reinforcements will arrive? The battle has already reached this state. What are the two sides doing? "The Duke of Guang pondered as he stroked his beard.
Gou Yue said, "I don't know if there have been any battles before this, but judging from the location of the battle, the eastern army has probably lost more than five hundred thousand lives. To lose so many people just to deal with the Netherworld's army of a hundred thousand, it's really …" He shook his head.
The Duke of Guang laughed and said, "This Niu Youde is really fierce. He really doesn't want to let go."
Black Dragon Swamp. Inside the storage space. As soon as Miao Yi and the others entered, they immediately set up the compass. A group of people in charge of communication were constantly communicating with the other parties using the star bell. The atmosphere was a little tense.
The first thing Miao Yi asked was, "Are they following us?"
Leng Zhuoqun, who was using the star bell to communicate with Dan Qing, nodded and said, "They're already following us."
Miao Yi said, "Immediately pay attention to the movements of the enemy forces."
Soon, someone came to report, "Milord, the million-strong army that sealed the entrance has changed directions and is coming to intercept us."
Miao Yi asked, "Are there any reactions from the other forces?"
The messenger reported, "I don't see any reactions for now."
Leng Zhuoqun pointed at the compass and said, "The enemy's intentions are clear. The million-strong army that sealed the entrance changed directions to intercept us, and the million-strong army that sealed the exit is trying to bite us. They want to hold us back with a pincer attack, and then concentrate their forces to eliminate the Bluemoon forces. Then, they will concentrate all their forces to eliminate us."
Miao Yi nodded and pointed at the compass. "The exit army is in the northwest, and they've already been diverted to pursue us. The entrance army is in the west, and they were originally heading straight for the battle, but they've now been diverted to intercept us. We've already held back two million soldiers, but this isn't enough. The Bluemoon won't be able to withstand the encirclement of over two million Eastern Army elites. They still need us to break the siege. We've already eliminated the one hundred thousand patrolling troops, and the ambush in the west has been eliminated as well. We've also eliminated about three hundred thousand scouts out of the million. The remaining seven hundred thousand are still rushing over, but they're nothing to be afraid of. Adding fuel to the fire will only lead to our deaths. Currently, the biggest threats to the Bluemoon forces are the ambush in the east, north, and south, as well as Ao Fei's main army. The battle is taking place in the southwest, which means that the southern reinforcements will be the first to arrive and attack the Bluemoon, followed by Ao Fei's main army, which is stationed in the center of the Black Dragon Swamp. Finally, the eastern and northern reinforcements will arrive. The southern reinforcements have almost lost the ability to suppress them. What we need to do now is to hold back Ao Fei's main army, as well as the eastern and northern reinforcements. We need to buy as much time as possible to obtain more Transcendence Bows for the Bluemoon forces and prepare for a counterattack! "
Leng Zhuoqun asked, "Milord, how do you plan to hold them back?"
Miao Yi pointed at the approximate location of the intercepting army on the compass. "There's no need to rush. Wait until the million-strong army has closed in on us. When they're about to reach us, we'll immediately turn around and avoid them. We need to buy as much time as possible for the Bluemoon forces!" He slid his finger across the compass and said, "Go straight to the center and attack Ao Fei's main army. Ao Fei probably only has four hundred thousand troops left, and the Transcendence Bows are around five thousand. How can Ao Fei not panic when faced with the equipment displayed by our five hundred thousand troops? The two million troops chasing us are afraid that we'll threaten Ao Fei, so they won't let us go. If Ao Fei is ruthless enough, he'll probably use himself as bait to keep us from getting too close to the Bluemoon forces. I think Ao Fei will definitely do that. He's a ruthless man. He's someone who doesn't hesitate to add fuel to the fire. It's entirely possible that he'll do that. "
Gui Wu nodded. "This way, the pressure from Ao Fei's four hundred thousand troops will be temporarily alleviated for the Bluemoon forces."
Miao Yi withdrew his hand from the compass and said, "Tell Shan Qing to get ready."
Amidst the starry skies, at the battle point, reinforcements continued to arrive. They were to rush into the battle formation to support Che Wu at all costs.
Zhong Sanming quickly arrived with a hundred thousand troops. Under the ferocious assault of the meteor arrows, they suffered heavy casualties. In the end, they charged into the battle formation and met up with Che Wu.
At this moment, Che Wu's eyes were bloodshot. He was screaming at the top of his lungs as he desperately commanded the remaining troops to fight. Zhong Sanming's arrival only gave him a slight respite. The two of them commanded their troops to keep Mystery busy. When Mystery wanted to retreat, Miao Yi's side would immediately pounce forward and fight with all their might. They wouldn't give the two sides a chance to distance themselves from each other.
As for Mystery? Even though Mystery's side had suffered heavy casualties as well, they were fighting more and more freely. The number of Transcendence Bows in their hands was increasing, and their equipment was getting better and better. More importantly, the humans were slowly getting rid of the fear they felt at the beginning of the battle. They were gradually gaining experience from the prolonged battle and were becoming more and more familiar with the coordination of the battle formation.
"Milord, the scouts have reported that the enemy's intercepting troops are not far from us!"
Inside the storage space, the central communications personnel urgently reported to Miao Yi.
Miao Yi decisively ordered, "Turn around and attack Ao Fei's center!"
Amidst the starry skies, Shan Qing and the others quickly deviated from their original flight path. The troops chasing after them refused to let them go, and the troops on the other side also adjusted their direction and gave chase.
When Wang Yuanqiao received the news, he quickly reported to Ao Fei, "Great General, according to Lu Pingfang's report from Niu Youde, Niu Youde has changed his direction. He isn't going to reinforce them."
Ao Fei asked anxiously, "Where is he going?"
Wang Yuanqiao replied, "We still don't know what Niu Youde's intentions are. We can't tell where he's going."
Ao Fei said, "Tell Wu Jinhuan not to chase after him. Follow one side of the battlefield and attack from the side. This is to prevent Niu Youde from changing his direction at the last minute. That way, we can intercept him at any time."
After some time, Wang Yuanqiao seemed to have deduced something based on the direction of Lu Pingfang's pursuit. He reported to Ao Fei again, "Great General, Niu Youde seems to be coming towards us. His target seems to be our central army!"
"Halt!" Ao Fei's eyebrows twitched as he suddenly raised his hand to stop his troops from advancing. He stopped in the void and sneered, "What a sly brat. He's very cunning. It looks like he's figured out that we don't have many offensive weapons in the middle of the battlefield. He knows that we won't be able to withstand the attack of his five hundred thousand elite troops!"
Kong Han said grimly, "It looks like he's planning to attack us and force the other troops to change their direction and reinforce us. That way, he'll be able to buy time for his troops to engage in battle."
