Liu Zhi and the Elephant-men advanced at the same time, reaching their respective battlefields almost simultaneously.
The difference was that Liu Zhi had chosen his battlefield himself, while the Elephant-men's leader had been forced into his.
The battle between the Light of the Arena Legion and the Elephant-men had landed right in the space between Yinniu Te and the Elephant-men's corpses.
The Elephant-men had come looking for trouble in the first place. When they saw the bodies of their kinsmen, they flew into a rage. Leaving only two elders behind for reasons no one knew, the rest of them pressed toward Yinniu Te.
There was no need for Dark to lure them over himself.
Meanwhile, Liu Zhi appeared above the Elephant-men's Ancestral City with two Sun Boats.
This time, apart from Alex, Liu Zhi had brought no other heroes. He planned to bombard the city from the air.
If he could, Liu Zhi didn't even intend to join the battle directly. He planned to strike from a distance and draw the enemy's attention skyward. Then the Spider Cannons he'd sent ahead could bombard the area from the nearby hills.
That should be enough to blow the Ancestral City flat.
By then, he believed the Elephant-men's leader would receive word from the city. If they weren't willing to abandon it, they would surely break off the battle before them and head back toward the Ancestral City.
Dark could then pursue them all the way, gradually devouring the enemy forces.
When the Elephant-men's leader reached the Ancestral City with his troops, Liu Zhi's Spider Cannons would have had enough time to rest. They could then give the leader another round of Plasma Cannon fire.
After that, the Elephant-men would be finished.
Of course, this was the ideal plan.
Liu Zhi couldn't guarantee
