Chapter 1520: Retreat Begins, Doom Comes!
In order to let Tong Yan not be disturbed by others and retreat with peace of mind, Xuan Mo specially chose a trench for him, which is not far from Haitian City, and is surrounded by Xuan Mo with the power of the sea god, so that no ordinary kraken sea beast dares to approach.
After Tong Yan said goodbye to Xuan Mo, he began to practice in the trench. In the country of returning to the ruins, it is actually difficult to divide night and day, but Tong Yan has strictly regulated the time for himself. He can't really divide every minute and every second accurately, but he can roughly guess an hour and a day, so in this way, he divides the seven days into three parts, the first three days are used to consolidate his cultivation, and the next three days are to integrate and match his supernatural powers, and as for the remaining day, he has to use it to communicate with Xue'er, so as to further determine Xue'er's location and her current physical condition.
The seven days were filled with him, so he threw himself into the intense retreat without hesitation.
Of course, before the retreat, he also told Xuan Mo everything that should be explained in advance. Therefore, during the seven days of his retreat, Xuan Mo was not idle for a moment, and he was always busy.
Under the leadership of Xuan Mo, the Poseidon Army was training on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was to capture all the small cities nearby. Such a strategy of gradual encroachment is exactly what Tong Yan proposed.
It is said that the snake is beaten seven inches, but the Demon Emperor Hall is by no means a snake, but more like an elephant. It's not a little difficult to eat an elephant in one bite. But if you eat slowly, sooner or later you will finish eating.
In the face of the provocation and "aggression" of the Seagod Army, the Demon Emperor Hall was very restrained at the moment. They did not launch a counterattack, and it seemed that they did not even resist much, and they were easily captured several cities in succession by the Poseidon Army.
In the eyes of all the soldiers of the Seagod Army, they all thought that the Demon Emperor Hall was about to be unable to hold on, so they were so vulnerable. But Xuan Mo was not so optimistic, he knew very well in his heart that although the Demon Emperor had been hit hard, the Demon Emperor Palace had a deep heritage, and the reason why they rarely faced battles, or even avoided fighting, must have their own plans.
is similar to what Xuan Mo analyzed, the reason why the Demon Emperor Hall let the defenders of those cities evacuate was because of the order of the Demon Emperor.
The Demon Emperor's order is simple, preserve strength and paralyze the enemy. It is completely worth it to exchange a few cities for the great joy of the Seagod Army, and to be complacent. It may be said that the Demon Emperor Hall only sacrificed a few cities, but the strength of the Demon Emperor Palace has not been weakened much. Therefore, such a discarding of the city is a completely strategic retreat. And this just means that before long, the Demon Emperor Hall will definitely launch a large-scale powerful counterattack.
Tong Yan's suggestion to Xuan Mo was to gradually encroach, but what he didn't expect was that things went quite smoothly, and in just five days, the Poseidon Army actually captured half of the sea area of the Kingdom of Ruins.
Such a rapid expansion really exceeded everyone's expectations, and even Xuan Mo himself felt a little incredible.
Judging from the current map of the Kingdom of Ruins, the Seagod Army has shown a trend of fighting against the Demon Emperor Palace. The rapid growth of the Poseidon Army is truly amazing.
If this momentum continues, maybe in less than three days, the Seagod Army will be able to occupy Haixuan City, one of the three main cities of the Land of Ruins, and at that time, the Seagod Army's sphere of influence will surpass the Demon Emperor Hall and become the most powerful existence in this Kingdom of Ruins.
Is the size of the area that can be occupied really a complete reflection of strength? Is the current Poseidon Army really sure to win?
In the big tent of the Poseidon Army, several generals and Xuan Mo and his wife were in the tent.
General Black Dragon was the first to speak: "Lord Seagod, our vanguard army is now less than half a day's journey away from Haixuan City, what do you think we should do next?" Do you want to eat Haixuan City in one bite, or do you want to tidy it up a little? ”
Before Xuan Mo could speak, another general from the four major clans preemptively said, "Of course, we will continue to attack Haixuan City!" Our Poseidon Army is now at a time when morale is high, coupled with the courage of our Poseidon Army's soldiers, Haixuan City is already close at hand, there is no reason not to attack! Lord Poseidon, I advocate continuing to march and occupy Haixuan City! ”
This general opened his mouth to express his position, and several other generals also expressed their own opinions. Unexpectedly, most of them advocated continuing to send troops and capture Haixuan City in one fell swoop.
If we look at the obedience of the minority to the majority, it seems that attacking Haixuan City is the most reasonable strategy.
But I don't know why, Xuan Mo always felt as if he had been calculated by the Demon Emperor, all this came too fast, from the original 2,000 Seagod Army, to now it has rapidly expanded to 50,000 Seagod Army. It's only been a few days? In addition, originally only Tortoiseshell City was the foundation, but now half of the country of ruins is in the sphere of influence of the Poseidon Army, which makes it even more like a dream.
He was a little hesitant because he felt that it was really unreal.
As if to see his hesitation, his wife, Hei Ling, opened his mouth and asked, "Brother Mo, are you still a little unsure?" I remember that Brother Tong will be out of the customs in two days, why don't you wait for him to come out of the customs before making a decision? ”
Hearing Hei Ling say this, Xuan Mo suddenly sobered up a lot. "Yes, when Brother Tong comes out, I'll ask him, and then make a decision."
After saying this to the black spirit, he immediately said to the generals in the big tent: "This matter is not in a hurry, I will give you an answer in two days." ”
As soon as these words came out, several generals in the main battle immediately opened their mouths and asked: "Lord Seagod, as the so-called soldiers are fast, the Demon Emperor Hall must have expected that we would not dare to attack Haixuan City." If we make a big move, maybe we can take Haixuan City. This is a great opportunity, and you can't miss it! ”
"Yes, Poseidon. Our Poseidon Army is now in a state of strength, and at this time, let the troops rest well, wouldn't it cool the blood of the soldiers? Therefore, I hope that Lord Seagod will think twice, and it is best to give an order to attack Haixuan City immediately. ”
"I'm waiting for an order from Lord Poseidon!"
Looking at these generals who were fighting the main battle, Xuan Mo fell into hesitation again. In general, he is not an indecisive person, but at this time, he is full of hesitation. Why? On the one hand, he was worried that the Demon Emperor Hall would lay traps, but on the other hand, he felt that the morale of the Seagod Army was like a rainbow now, and the enthusiasm of the soldiers should not be suppressed.
So in such a dilemma, he finally made a choice.
"Okay, since you advocate attacking Haixuan City, then I will listen to the generals. Pass on my commander's order, and the vanguard army will immediately attack Haixuan City. The follow-up troops followed, striving to capture Haixuan City in one fell swoop! ”
When these generals heard this, they immediately said in unison: "Lord Seagod is wise!" ”
Wise? Is this really a wise move? The doom of the Poseidon Army, I'm afraid it's coming!
