Chapter 566 Splitting up the troops
Listening to a few people begging for mercy, Zhou Ruoying was unmoved, “Punish you and others to fight in the front line after our army encounters the enemy.”
Several people’s faces changed in unison, two armies fighting, playing the front line is undoubtedly the most dangerous.
Their lips opened and closed, looking like they wanted to plead for mercy, but when they saw the Yuan Ying True Lord’s cold brows, they finally swallowed the words of pleading for mercy.
“Late generation take orders.”
After this matter, a group of Jindan cultivators, where would they dare to underestimate this YuanYing True Lord in front of them.
Regardless of whether the other party’s strength was strong or weak, but cleaning them up was just a matter of words.
Zhou Ruoying swept her gaze across the entire field and nodded slightly.
“That’s more like it, this battle concerns the survival of my Human Race, I hope that all of you will go all out.”
Soon, she divided the hundred Jindan cultivators present into ten squads.
Although the five thousand Foundation Establishment cultivators were not present, they were also divided into these ten squads, with five hundred people in each squad.
“All cultivators, be sure to listen to the captain’s orders. Those who act privately will be considered to have disobeyed the military order and will be killed without amnesty.”
Zhou Ruoying’s expression was light, but no one dared to doubt the authenticity of her words.
After recounting some more marching precepts, she then said, “The ten captains whose names I named just now will stay, and the rest can leave.”
Most of the cultivators breathed a sigh of relief and left the room after making a salute.
Zhou Ruoying looked at the remaining ten, her expression slightly slowing.
“You and the other ten, whether it’s your cultivation or reputation, are far superior to the norm.
As captains, I hope that you and the others will lead the cultivators under your command to fight and kill the enemy without falling into the name of the human race!”
“I respectfully follow True Lord’s teachings!”
Zhou Ruoying nodded slightly, “There are still a few days left before we enter the boundary of the Jiao Palace, so take advantage of these few days to familiarize yourselves with the cultivators under your command and rub them together more. Alright, let’s stop here today.”
The ten Jindan cultivators, including Xu Chuniang, responded and made a bow to leave.
Xu Chunniang was about to leave when she heard a voice transmission, and with a movement in her heart, she resumed her seat.
Although the others were surprised as to why she hadn’t left yet, they had the good sense not to ask more questions.
After the others left, Zhou Ruoying revealed a hint of a smile.
“When I was at home, I had heard the juniors in my clan talk about your deeds, and I owe you a great deal for your little friend’s help in the matter of Zhou Li’s escape from the dungeon last time.”
When Xu Chuniang heard that this True Lord was a cultivator of the Zhou Clan, she had speculated about her identity.
Right now, the other party’s words further confirmed her suspicions, this Yuanying True Lord was indeed a member of the Zhou Family of Wind Thunder Island.
“Late generation also just happened to meet by chance.”
“Within six days, the Vermillion Bird War Boat will enter the boundary of the Jiao Palace, at that time, if there is an opportunity, I can arrange for you to be on the periphery, what do you think?”
Hearing this, Xu Chuniang instantly understood the other party’s intentions.
The Jiao Imperial Palace was a vast area, and the closer one got to the Jiao Imperial Palace, the more sea clans one would encounter.
That’s why the outer boundaries are relatively safe.
This Zhou family YuanYing True Monarch made such arrangements, it should be because she has a story with the Zhou family, so she will deliberately take care of it.
Xu Chuniang pondered a little, but refused the offer.
Being on the periphery was certainly relatively safe, but she was unable to learn about the battlefield’s movements firsthand.
Seeing her refusal, Zhou Ruoying didn’t say much and only nodded.
“If you change your mind in these few days, feel free to inform me.”
“Thank you senior for looking after me.”
Xu Chuniang answered this kind offer and left the room. Watching the other party’s figure disappear, Zhou Ruoying shook her head and smiled.
“Rather a high-minded one, but with her fame and strength, she can afford this arrogance.
If she can survive this battle, in the future, maybe, there is really a chance to break through to the YuanYing realm.”
Speaking here, Zhou Ruoying’s face revealed a hint of helplessness.
Even she didn’t dare to guarantee that she would be able to retreat in this battle, let alone a small Jindan stage cultivator on the other side.
The war boat traveled in the sea for five and a half days, finally arriving at the boundary of the Jiao Palace.
Lived in the neighborhood of the golden snake tribe, Yao fish tribe and other large and small six or seven sea tribe received the news, has long led the whole tribe, waiting at the border for many days.
These sea clans, some as many as four or five YuanYing cultivators, some weaker, not even a YuanYing cultivator.
Six or seven sea clans coalesced together, with as many as a dozen YuanYing cultivators, is a not weak fighting force.
The nine great families, with Ao Family Master Ao Haitian and Wind Family Master Feng Jinhuang jointly commanding the battle.
The two of them were at odds with each other’s opinions after learning that the Golden Snake Clan, the Yao Fish Clan, and several other sea clans, were blocking the way ahead.
Ao Haitian thought that it was inappropriate to engage in a battle and deplete their strength early.
He proposed to have all the war boats speed up at full speed to leave these sea races behind.
With this method, only a dozen or so YuanYing cultivators would need to be deployed to deal with those YuanYing sea races that could not be gotten rid of.
“This method is not good, leaving these sea clans behind may seem like it eliminates the threat, but as long as we continue to go deeper into the sea, the sea clans we encounter will become more and more numerous, and the speed of our travel will slow down.
At that time, when these sea races that have been left behind catch up again, we will be caught in a situation where we are surrounded on all sides, and it will be difficult to move forward.”
Feng Jinhuang, the Wind Family Lord, after denying the Ao Family Lord’s proposal, suggested to directly strike and exterminate these sea races with a thunderous means.
Soldiers were precious, the longer they delayed, the more preparation time would be left for the Jiao Palace.
This proposal, however, was unanimously opposed by several other families.
“If we want to exterminate the clan, then what is the difference between the behavior of my human clan and the sea clan? ,
Moreover, this will definitely cause the other sea races to be wary and fiercely counterattack, which will not be favorable to our next actions.
Our goal is the Jiao Emperor Palace, so as long as we resolve the late stage God Transformation Jiao Emperor, we will be able to resolve this crisis.”
“This won’t work and that won’t work, so tell me, do you guys have any good countermeasures?”
Feng Jinhuang frowned slightly, and his gaze went to the Bai Family Master who had been silent.
“Bai family master can peer into the corner of the Dao fortune, do you have any insights?”
The Bai Family Lord didn’t push back and directly stated his thoughts.
“This trip to crusade against the Jiao Palace, although the sea is claimed to have ten thousand clans, but among these sea clans, there are only a few hundred branches with YuanYing cultivators sitting on them, and there are also some powerful sea clans that don’t listen to the Jiao Palace’s orders at all.
I also have a team of more than four or five hundred in the human race, not to split some teams to stay, against these sea tribe. While the main force of my clan will not be delayed and can continue forward.”
After the others pondered, they felt that this method was feasible.
“In this way, we won’t lose too much strength, we don’t have to delay, and we haven’t left behind any hidden dangers… Master Bai really has a brilliant idea.”
“By scattering the human cultivators all over the sea, even if this trip is unfavorable, they will still be able to preserve some of their strength.”
After hearing this, the Ao Family Lord and the Wind Family Lord equally recognized the method proposed by the Bai Family Lord.
After selecting a dozen teams to stay behind and fight against the strength of these six or seven sea races, dozens of war boats disappeared into the sea and dived towards the bottom.
In order to be fair, the dozens of teams that were selected came from all the islands in the Nine Continents.
They were not familiar with each other, and when they fought together, they would inevitably be a bit scattered.
