Chapter 1,115: Third Stage

l ambush led by Chu Qing, over a dozen people from Feng Huai Courtyard had died. Afterward, when Feng Huai Courtyard’s people accidentally injured the giant armored beast, several more died at the sce...Although the battles were fierce, the tide of war favored humanity. As long as the Zerg hordes failed to break through the front lines of the Nine Great States, they would only be endlessly sent to their deaths. Given the current situation, it was only a matter of time before humanity could eradicate the Zerg completely.

No matter how many Zerg there are, there is ultimately a limit. They will always be eventually exterminated.

As time went on, the tide of insects weakened, their numbers dwindling until after ten days of war, the zerg could no longer mount any sizable attacks.

Then the human side realized that the time for counterattack had come, and the war began at this moment, also marking the entry into the third stage.

The plan is simple, but the reality will be much more complicated.

Firstly, it is crucial to keep a contingent of forces at the entrance gate to prevent any insectoid creatures from escaping through it.

Nearly 80% of the elite forces of the Jiuzhou cultivators are concentrated in the Insect Clan's Great Secret Realm. While there are also some Sea God Realm cultivators stationed on the Jiuzhou mainland, their numbers are not many, and they are only for emergency use.

Like a doppelganger of Li Bai, this time he did not follow the main army deep into the Zerg Secret Realm. Because Wanmo Ridge valued him very much, they didn't want him to take unnecessary risks and ordered him to stay in the Dark Moon Forest Pass, responsible for dealing with any potential stragglers.

>>>However, because there are large armies from various states stationed in front of the gates, there is no need for too many defenders. Even if any insect races arrive later, they can be resisted by relying on the formations.

Furthermore, it is impossible for nine armies of cultivators to advance in a straight line. If they did so, there would be too many fish that slip through the net. When advancing, they must inevitably strive to lengthen the battlefield as much as possible, so as to cover a wider area.

To put it simply, the entire Zerg Secret Realm is divided into nine sectors. Each cultivator army is responsible for one sector. Before the advance, all cultivators must take their positions at the edge of the sector and wait for orders. Once the order is given, they will simultaneously push inward. This way, the entire Zerg Secret Realm can be thoroughly searched in a comprehensive and thorough manner, minimizing any potential threats as much as possible.

The high-level officials were efficient. In just half a day, they had come up with an action plan. When the order was issued, countless cultivators on the Bingzhou battlefield took off and flew in all directions.

From a high vantage point, streaks of light radiated out like celestial flowers scattered by heavenly maidens, gradually fading into the distance.

At every certain distance, a team would be stationed. Then, at another interval, a Divine Sea Realm expert would stand guard. This area was their designated responsibility.

Who stays, who moves on, no one gives orders. At this time, everyone acts entirely according to their own will. They are all cultivators above the Zhenhu Realm, each with their own criteria for judgment, and they don't need others to waste words.

Such a dispersal of forces at the outset of a war would undoubtedly be fatal, but right now it is the only option. Adopting different strategies in different periods is the way to maximize the capabilities of cultivators.

Thus, as they journeyed, they continuously left behind troops, while the remaining forces continued to advance along the edge of the Zerg's secret realm.

Lu Ye was walking to the right, flying at the front. It wasn't because his cultivation level was the highest; nowadays, there were many cultivators with higher cultivation levels than him here. It was simply because he had experience exploring the entire Insect Clan's Great Secret Realm, so Bingzhou assigned him a mission.

That means connecting with the army from the neighboring province, ensuring that both sides' lines seamlessly connect. Someone else over there has taken on this task as well. As the front line advances, fewer and fewer cultivators follow behind. There are occasional skirmishes, but in the face of this massive cultivator army, swarming like locusts, those few insect creatures barely make a splash.

After flying for a whole day, the number of cultivators following Lu Ye had dwindled to less than two hundred. They were finally able to see a vast expanse of flowing light approaching them in the distance.

The leading Sea Realm cultivator on the opposing side and Lu Ye's divine consciousness clashed. Both sides paused, their followers continuing to advance behind them, filling the gaps in the lines. In this way, the battle line between the Bingzhou and the neighboring state of Lu was fully deployed. All that remained was to await orders.

The leading Divine Sea Realm expert flew over and landed beside Lu Ye, sizing him up with interest: "Are you Lu Yiye, the disciple of Bi Xue Zong" Lu Ye silently chewed on a spiritual pill, preparing for combat, and glanced at him. "Enmity."

The neighboring state is Lei Prefecture, and Lei Prefecture is controlled by Wan Mo Ling. This Sea God Realm cultivator is undoubtedly a member of some sect in Wan Mo Ling. He showed up for no reason, so Lu Ye couldn't help but be on guard.

It wouldn't be accurate to say that the two major camps are now working together, and that past grievances have truly vanished.

>>>That Divine Sea Realm expert chuckled and said, "Little friend, are you surrounded by too many enemies"Lu Ye nonchalantly replied, "No way around it. When I was younger, I offended quite a few people from the Wanmo Ridge. I have to be careful when meeting strangers."The man laughed, "Little friend, you're not that old now." He then got straight to the point, "Perhaps there are grudges, but in places like the Lingxi Battlefield and Yunhe Battlefield, disputes are inevitable. It's through these struggles that one grows better. In cultivation, where isn't there strife We all came from those struggles, caught in the midst of it all, with no choice but to follow."He then introduced himself, "I am Yu Shen from the Wanfa Sect. One of my disciples once worked alongside you for a while and spoke highly of your abilities."

After coming into contact with Lu Ye in the Wushuang Continent, The last set of books he got from Lady Yun has been read so many times that he knows them by heart.Let me know if you have more text you'd like translated!Lady Yun nodded slightly: "Since you want to...
