Chapter 1973: Heading to the Battlefield
Chapter 1973: Heading to the Battlefield
A night passed.
The day of departure finally arrived.
In Xiao Zheng’s plan, the Blood Clan had to initiate the attack, so early in the morning, the Blood Clan experts who gathered at Song City quietly departed. After returning to their respective territories, they were ready to immediately start guerrilla tactics.
Then, from outside to inside, they would coordinate with Xiao Zheng and others’ frontal attack.
During this period, Hades also had a task.
She was mainly responsible for liaising and communicating between the two fronts, essentially commanding the overall situation. After all, she is the King of Blood Clan, and although Xiao Zheng assumed the command, he still allocated a very important role to her.
"Have the Blood Clan members already set off?"
Xiao Zheng looked towards Long Qie who was walking towards him, and asked.
On hearing this, Long Qie nodded and said, "They left early in the morning, and now it’s almost noon, so they should have returned to their territories by now. Mr. Xiao, what should we do next?"
"Do we set off right now, or wait for news from their side?"
The gaze of Evil Eyes and others also fell on Xiao Zheng.
After hearing his words, Xiao Zheng said, "Of course, we wait for them to act first, and then start our action. If the front does not make some progress, it will be very difficult for us to gain an advantage on the frontlines."
"Because if the Bright Church reinforcements arrive at the frontline, the plans we previously deployed will all be ruined."
"However, although we cannot act now, we can still go to the frontline and wait. After all, the main forces of the Bright Church are almost advancing to Waya Plain, and if we wait for them to cross Waya Plain, then cross the Thor River, and finally traverse Kamo Mountain, they will officially enter the heart of Blood Clan’s territory."
"Therefore, we must firmly hold Kamo Mountain and make sure they do not cross this boundary."
On hearing this, Evil Eyes couldn’t help but ask, "What if the Bright Church’s main forces prepare to cross Kamo Mountain before battles erupt at the front? Can’t we act at that time?"
"Of course we have to act. As I just said, Kamo Mountain is the last line of defense, and we absolutely cannot lose it." Xiao Zheng said, "Even if we have to detach from the battles at the front, we cannot let the Bright Church’s main forces break through this line of defense."
Everyone nodded, understanding his bottom line.
Long Qie then said, "Then I’ll go notify the brothers, how about we set off in ten minutes?"
"Sure, as long as we can arrive at Kamo Mountain before the Bright Church’s main forces cross Thor River." Xiao Zheng said slowly, "You can manage the timing."
After Long Qie nodded, he immediately turned and left.
Xiao Zheng announced that everyone would wait in place for Long Qie’s return.
Evil Eyes and others then sat cross-legged, taking the opportunity to prepare themselves for peak condition. After all, this upcoming battle directly affects the scales of victory, so no one dared to be careless.
Ten minutes later, Long Qie returned leading a vast group of people.
The number was around two thousand, all Sky Net elites.
Since the mobilization happened yesterday, Xiao Zheng had no more to say; once the people were gathered, he immediately announced the departure.
A vast group began heading to the frontline.
Kamo Mountain is not far from Song City, only over a thousand kilometers. If the Bright Church crosses this mountain, it would expose Song City directly to them, leaving no defensive line to support combat.
This is why Xiao Zheng plans to hold Kamo Mountain to the death.
By the time they arrived at Kamo Mountain, the sun was about to set.
The afterglow of the sunset illuminated the snowy mountain, the scene appearing exceptionally grand and awe-inspiring.
However, Xiao Zheng and the others had no heart to admire the surrounding scenery; more than two thousand people quickly dispersed, seizing the high ground to observe enemy movements and facilitate the upcoming battle.
With the vantage of height, everyone could easily see the Waya Plain across the Thor River.
However, on this expansive plain, they did not spot the Bright Church army.
Seeing this, Long Qie couldn’t help but laugh, "It seems the Bright Church’s marching speed isn’t as fast as we thought. We received news yesterday that they were advancing to the Waya Plain, but it’s almost the end of the second day and they have yet to appear on the Waya Plain."
"This means we have gained more preparation time."
On hearing this, Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "This is certainly good news for us. But it’s mainly thanks to Hades’ last action; if it wasn’t for that surprise attack that scared them, they would have already crossed the Thor River by now."
Long Qie and others clearly knew about that surprise attack, and they couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this.
"Alright then, since the enemy hasn’t appeared yet, everyone wait in place for now." Xiao Zheng said, "But don’t be too complacent; watch out for them sending scouts ahead."
"Arrange more brothers to keep watch at night; no mistakes can happen."
Hearing his words, Long Qie patted his chest and said, "Leave this to me. If anything goes wrong, I’ll come and see everyone with my head!"
His guarantee immediately drew a chorus of boos.
Xiao Zheng, unable to hold back his laughter, said, "Get lost, there’s no use for your head. Anyway, I’ve given you the military order; if the task fails, you know the consequences."
Long Qie grinned and said nothing more.
But his eyes became increasingly resolute.
After everyone teased each other for a while, they went off to their respective tasks.
As for Xiao Zheng, he sat alone at the main peak, began meditating, preparing for the upcoming battle.
Elsewhere.
The Blood Clan experts returned to their territories and finally started to act.
Initially, members of each family were quite puzzled about the decision to abandon their territories. But under the Clan Leader’s firm attitude, everyone still had to reluctantly obey.
After all, the hierarchy within the Blood Clan is very strict.
Especially within families, almost no one dares to defy the Clan Leader’s orders.
Each family then embarked and left the territories, heading towards the border battlefield. By that night, the members had reached their designated battlefields and took their positions.
Once time passes midnight, the Blood Clan scattered in various places will act together.
When that moment arrives, the horn signaling the decisive battle will be sounded!
