If there was a second battlefield that could be chosen, Dongfang Zhengyang, as a commander with tens of thousands of years of experience, would definitely bring it up.
However, if they were to give up on the Dao League's territory … Not only would that be inhumane, but Dongfang Zhengyang also didn't have the authority to do so!
"The second battlefield …" In just a few months, Taoist Thunder seemed to have aged by thousands of years, showing his old age.
He sighed as he looked at The Flood Witch and Zuo Changlu, who were frowning. His heart was filled with desolation!
How could he not know what the two of them didn't say?
There weren't many Heroic Soul Passes of the Dao League on this side. Even if there were, they were all in the opposite direction.
How could they stop the enemy's invasion if they didn't have the ability to defend and defend?
Such a foundation was not only a barrier for the Demon Race, but also a weapon for the Demon Race. They could use these Heroic Soul Passes to cause great damage to the allied forces.
It must be known that one of the reasons why the Demon Race hadn't launched an all-out attack so far was because they were unfamiliar with the terrain. If the allied forces of the three continents were to lose their geographical advantage, or even be at a disadvantage in terms of terrain, then the casualties would be more than just disastrous!
"How can we face those heroes who sacrificed themselves for the Heroic Soul Passes …"
Thunder Taoist looked up at the sky and sighed.
"Now is not the time to sigh."
The Flood Witch said bluntly, "Thunder Taoist, let me tell you clearly. I won't agree to let our men make unnecessary sacrifices in this place as the second battlefield!"
Zuo Changlu nodded, showing that he completely agreed with The Flood Witch's words.
Because they would die for nothing.
It's not that we don't want to stop them. It's because you guys created such a terrible situation, and you want us to fight with our lives?
Even if our goal is to protect the billions of lives behind us, we can't answer to our brothers who are fighting with their lives on the line. We can't even face them!
Why should the soldiers of the Umno Alliance and the Astral Souls make up for the Dao League's mistakes with their lives?
Are the lives of our Umno Alliance's Astral Souls soldiers not worth their lives?
For a moment, Daoist Thunder's beard trembled. After a while, he said, "I can understand your positions and choices … but the Dao League can't give up just like that … You two, the teams that belong to Astral Souls and the Umno Alliance, from now on, you can plan to retreat from the first battlefield. The Dao League will set up the second battlefield at Celestial Wolf Mountain … As for you, continue to retreat until you can set up the third battlefield."
"For the billions of lives behind us, we will use our sacrifice to make up for our mistakes and buy enough time for the inland Dao League citizens to retreat."
The Flood Witch took a deep breath and said, "Lei Dao, I have to say that you are very pedantic. You can't pick up and you can't let go! I really look down on you. You don't understand the battlefield, and you don't understand war! "
"Fighting in this kind of terrain, and with only one side, the Dao League will only pay the unnecessary sacrifice of billions of lives! How much of an impact would these hundreds of millions of combat power be on Xing Hun's battlefield? Is it worth sacrificing at Celestial Wolf Mountain? "
"This is a war of extinction, not a war in the ordinary sense. There is no turning back!"
"Once there is a mistake, the billions of lives lost will never be recovered. It will only cause the overall strength of the three continents to decrease! Don't tell me you don't understand? "
The Flood Witch was very angry.
Daoist Thunder's choice made him feel conflicted and depressed.
"Lei Dao, Brother Flood is right. Your Dao League is going to fight alone, and your disadvantage is so obvious. You are only going to die in vain. "
Zuo Changlu said, "Let's take a step back and say that the three allied forces have just been formed, and you are fighting at the frontlines, risking your lives. If we retreat and watch you sacrifice yourselves, our soldiers will also have to bear a great moral condemnation. This is also a great pressure. With such a mentality, how can the soldiers dare to leave their backs to their comrades?"
Daoist Thunder said with a trembling voice, "How can I not know this? But … once we retreat, it is equivalent to sending more than half of the Dao League into the mouth of the demons. That is more than five billion lives! "
"Five billion lives!"
Daoist Thunder's state of mind was already showing signs of collapse, "How can I live with this?!"
"Then you decided to let the forces that can resist the invasion die with these five billion people, and then you can live with it? What kind of logic is this? "The Flood Witch reprimanded angrily.
"Perhaps … perhaps if we work harder and try our best to delay the demons for a month, there will be at least a billion more people who can retreat to the safe zone." A glimmer of hope flashed in Daoist Thunder's dim eyes.
"You're thinking too much, too idealistic!"
Zuo Changlu said ruthlessly, "Why don't you fly back and see how many people in your Dao League can't leave their homeland? As long as it is not the last moment, people will not regret. When they really regret, it is already too late to go back. That is how people always hope for a fluke, but they don't know if there is such a fluke!"
"The war has been going on for more than a month, and only a small part of your people have retreated. Even those who have retreated have only retreated to the eastern end of the continent and are unwilling to move forward. Astral Souls has already opened the door to welcome the Dao League's retreat, but so far, the total number of people who have brought their families into the Astral Souls … is less than ten million people!"
Zuo Changlu sighed, "I know you don't want people to be plunged into misery and suffering, and you want to protect the people of the Dao League as much as possible, but the peace at the back must be broken with blood and cruelty. Otherwise, how can there be a sense of urgency?"
"As long as the war is still going on here, the people at the back won't move, and they will still hope for a fluke!"
"It's not that I don't care about the lives of ordinary people, but first, they must realize the current level of crisis. They have chosen to insist on not retreating, so we can only let them die!"
"Because we know that their fluke mentality will never exist!"
"So we can't let all my soldiers die here because of their wrong choice, to fulfill their fluke, their mistake! To be buried with their foolishness and fluke! "
"If we all die here, won't the two continents behind us be finished as well? Won't more people die?!"
Zuo Changlu took a deep breath and said, "So … we choose to give up the vast territory of the Dao League. We won't live and die with you! "
"If you want to have a clear conscience, then the Dao League can fight on its own. We have to start building a real second battlefield. "
Zuo Zhanglu's words were very heavy and didn't show any mercy.
The Flood Witch's eyes were full of praise.
This was the most correct choice.
If the Dao League had a Heroic Soul Pass, and everything went according to their agreement, then everyone could fight to the death here.
But … there was no such thing!
This was simply a bastard's way of doing things!
And the people of the Dao League were the same. They had lived in peace for too long and didn't want to retreat, didn't want to abandon their foundation …
If the soldiers fought to the death here and died for this group of selfish and foolish people, they would probably die with grievances!
Thunder Daoist nodded sadly. "I understand. This is what we should do. "
Next.
The higher-ups of the Dao League held a separate meeting.
Seven Swords' expression was extremely gloomy, and so were the twelve Heavenly Kings below. In fact, it wasn't just them. The hundreds of generals and marshals all had extremely ugly expressions.
Regret, confusion, anger … as well as nervousness, loss, and … heroism.
Previously, the Dao League didn't participate in the battle between the Astral Souls and the Umno Alliance at the Sun Moon Pass. Now, the Dao League's drawbacks of not fighting for ten thousand years and the bitter consequences of peace and comfort had been tasted by every higher-up!
How selfish and narrow-minded they were back then was how miserable and regretful they were now!
Many people were asking themselves, 'Why didn't the Dao League make a move when the Astral Souls and the Umno Alliance were cultivating geniuses and constantly improving themselves through battles?
With the potential of the Dao League, as well as the strength, cultivation atmosphere, and cultivation heritage that originally far surpassed that of the Astral Souls, how many experts would have emerged after ten thousand years of battles?!
Why … didn't they fight?!
Not only did they not fight, but they also treated the Astral Souls and the Umno Alliance as potential opponents and dragged them down. Even the construction of the Heroic Soul Pass was intentionally or unintentionally in the direction of the Astral Souls and the Umno Alliance …
Now that the demons were attacking from behind, it actually caused such an extremely awkward situation that they couldn't recover from!
Who was to blame for this?
Thunder Daoist felt as if he had eaten Chinese medicine.
"This is the situation. Once the demons have an all-out battle, this place is destined to be lost. At that time … our Heroic Soul Pass, the direction … sigh, will definitely become the demons' fortress. "
"And the Heroic Soul Pass can't be destroyed."
"So … if the battle is fought in these places, it's unfair to the alliance. We can't let others pay for our mistakes!"
"So … the Dao League must make a decision and sacrifice!"
Thunder Daoist's words were heavy.
"The Dao League will leave half of its people to build the second line of defense. Use your lives to stall the demons!"
Thunder Daoist said softly, "As for who will stay and who will follow to the third line of defense, I won't force them to do so. Sign up yourselves!"
"I'll stay!"
Fire Daoist said indifferently, "The Dao League can't be looked down upon by others. I'll stay and command the overall situation."
Thunder Daoist's eyes dimmed, then he said, "Who else?"
Cloud Daoist sighed and said, "I'll stay with Fire. It's enough. The five of you go back to the third line of defense. "
Two of the Seven Swords of the Dao League expressed that they would stay.
Zuo Changlu and The Flood Witch almost cursed out loud!
It wasn't that they didn't know what Thunder Daoist and the others were thinking, but since they had already made a huge mistake, did they have to make another huge mistake to make up for it?
