Tianheng City, the sky stood still, and battle reports were sent back from the front line one after another. The war between the two realms was fully launched, and the winner was bound to be decided in the shortest possible time.
At the same time, on the battlefields of the two realms, the Tianfu army was divided into three groups, marching in a perfect formation. Each group had two Supremes stationed in charge, marching north with all their strength, and with a fierce offensive, the allied forces of the religions retreated again and again.
The cost of failing to destroy Tianfu's military resources that day was now fully revealed. The number of troops of the Tianfu army that had left their hometown was actually no less than that of the Central Province religions. Coupled with the superiority of the supreme powerhouse, the alliance army was completely passive for a while.
However, even with the advantage of the frontline battle situation, Xiao Bieli's face never showed joy for a moment inside Tianheng City.
"Tian Xiang, is there something wrong?" Fan Xinghong looked at the Tian Xiang in front of him and asked in confusion.
Xiao Bieli looked ahead, nodded slightly, and said, "The battle situation seems to be in our favor, but in fact, the progress is far from as fast as expected. Central Province The coalition of various religions mainly focuses on dragging down, and rarely engages in direct confrontation. Although they have been defeated repeatedly, their remaining strength has not been severely damaged, and only a few insignificant cities have been lost."
"Xing Hong doesn't understand the war. If there's anything I can do to help, the Prime Minister can give you orders." Fan Xinghong said.
Xiao Bieli sighed softly and said, "Marquis of Knowing Fate has done everything from overall strategy to detailed deployment, which is admirable. If there is enough time, it is really a joy to have such an opponent. However, Tianfu has no time, and we cannot afford to delay."
"What does Tianxiang mean?" Fan Xinghong asked.
"Kill Marquis of Knowing Fate!" Xiao Bieli said in a deep voice.
Fan Xinghong's eyes narrowed, has he finally reached this point?
"The final result will be arranged. Your mission is to join hands with Suzaku to get rid of Marquis of Knowing Fate. I have found out the solution based on Marquis of Knowing Fate's attacking habits when he and you fought Youzhou City that day. The solution is that Suzaku will fully cooperate with you and create opportunities for you. Remember, Marquis of Knowing Fate's combat experience is beyond the reach of ordinary people, and he will adapt quickly. If you don't succeed in the ten moves, retreat immediately," Xiao Bieli said seriously.
"Yes" Fan Xinghong said respectfully.
Jingfeng City, Hall of Venerables, Ning Chen looked at the thumbnails of the march in the palace, inserting bamboo sticks into them from time to time, weighing the gains and losses of each city and the impact on the coalition of religions.
"Pingyue City, 10,000 reinforcements, delay for ten days, more than 2,000 people died in the battle, withdraw the troops."
"Yes"
"Jinhui City, 10,000 reinforcements, delay for 15 days, 3,000 will be killed, withdraw the troops."
"Yes"
"Pingluan City, 20,000 reinforcements, hold on and fight to the death."
"Yes"
One order after another, Hall of Venerables was issued one after another, and each Human Sovereign looked solemn. They knew very well that the current war was obviously not good for Central Province. However, Military Advisor's arrangements had preserved the combat power of the coalition of religions to the maximum extent, and no one could say anything.
The Tianfu army's fierce offensive was beyond everyone's expectations. The war began and entered the decisive stage. This was something that had never happened before. The Prime Minister's fierce attack at all costs made the coalition forces of all religions feel the strongest pressure.
"Military Advisor, if this continues, the Tianfu army will attack the north sooner or later. Do we have to keep guarding like this?" Venerable Xuanzhen stood up and asked with a worried look.
"In war, meritorious service must be defended. Now, the coalition forces are just repaying debts for the mistakes of that day. Now the innate combat power of Tianfu is basically the same as Central Province. With the threat of the supreme supreme who does not know when he will take action, defense can reduce losses.
"Ning Chen looked at the thumbnail of the march and replied.
"Is this decline irreversible?" Warm Sun Venerable said solemnly.
"The decline? When did I say that we occupy the decline?" Ning Chen turned around and said calmly.
Everyone looked startled when they heard the words. Everyone could see that the allied forces of the religions were beaten back again and again by Tianfu, showing their defeat.
"Military Advisor, please clarify," Zhao Liusu said seriously from the main seat.
"I have said that gambling is always a taboo for a leader. If you win the bet, you will be caught off guard. If you lose the bet, you will be completely defeated. The odds are 50-50. Alliance Venerable, if it were you, would you place your hope on a bet?" Ning Chen said calmly.
"No"
Zhao Liusu shook her head and said in denial. She believed that neither the world nor Tianfu could afford to lose this war. Such a gamble was too risky.
"You won't, and the Heavenly Prime Minister shouldn't do this, especially when the troops are superior. The only explanation for the Heavenly Prime Minister making this choice is that Tianfu needs time very much."
Having said this, Ning Chen said with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, "Based on the strength comparison between Tianfu and the coalition forces, if we continue the fight step by step, with the Prime Minister at the rear, the outcome of the two realms is only between 50 and 50. However, under the current situation, Tianfu's chance of winning is less than 30%."
After hearing this and looking at each other, the worries in their hearts were obviously relieved a lot.
"Military Advisor means that the coalition forces now have the advantage?" Zhao Liusu said softly.
"That's not entirely true. Generally speaking, we do have an advantage. However, looking at the overall situation, we are still absolutely passive," Ning Chen said honestly.
Zhao Liusu frowned when he heard this and said, "What do you mean by this?"
"To put it simply, although the coalition forces are losing again and again, this situation will slowly reverse soon. Of course, the prerequisite is that the coalition forces no longer make intolerable mistakes," Ning Chen replied.
"What about that strong man who is comparable to Sword Venerable? Will he become a variable?" Zhao Liusu asked in confusion.
"Alliance Venerable believes that what is the reason for the current situation? Without this person, Tianfu would not even be qualified to gamble. The 30% chance of winning I mentioned is precisely because of the existence of this person. Otherwise, how can Tianfu have a 10% chance of winning?" Ning Chen said lightly.
Everyone heard this, and a strange color flashed in their eyes. The crazy Marquis of Knowing Fate, apart from his layout ability, the unruliness shown in his words from time to time, is really quite different from the Great Xia Martial Marquis in the rumors.
At the moment of "Report", the order sounded again outside the hall, calling everyone's attention back.
"Come in," Zhao Liusu said.
"Report Alliance Venerable, Tianfu has sent a letter of war," the guard said respectfully as he presented the letter of war.
Zhao Liusu accepted the gauntlet and was puzzled. How could a gauntlet be issued at this time?
Ning Chen walked back from the march map and said calmly, "What's the matter?"
"Heavenly Palace Sword Venerable's Gauntlet" Zhao Liusu handed over the Gauntlet and said solemnly.
"Oh?"
Ning Chen took a look at the letter of challenge and narrowed his eyes slightly. Could it be that he couldn't wait any longer, or did he have an ulterior motive?
"Send the letter of challenge to Sunset Divine City"
Ning Chen waved the gauntlet back and said.
"Yes"
The guards respectfully accepted the order and immediately stood up and exited the hall.
"Alliance Venerable, Military Advisor
"This battle is very likely to be against Shaking Light King, so we must be on guard." Venerable Xuanzhen stood up and solemnly reminded him.
Among the allied forces, Shaking Light King is the only one with the highest combat power. In the Tianfu camp, in addition to Sword Venerable, there is also an unknown strong man. If they take the opportunity to attack, even Shaking Light King will not be able to escape unscathed.
"I understand His Majesty's concerns, but this battle cannot be avoided."
Zhao Liusu sighed softly, Sword Venerable's declaration of war and Shaking Light King's impossible rejection. When this day comes, when the war between the two realms begins, it is irreversible.
"Military Advisor, is there any way to deal with it?" Zhao Liusu said.
"Send someone to invite Taibai Manor Lord, Bailu Headmaster and Bodhi Venerable" Ning Chen thought for a while and said.
"Bodhi Venerable and Taibai Manor Lord are both injured. I'm afraid it will be difficult to stop the strong man," Zhao Liusu said worriedly.
"It's okay. Although these two people are injured and no longer at their peak, after all, they were once at the top and have the experience of fighting against the top experts. With the help of Bailu Headmaster, even if they can't stop them, they can still delay it for a moment and a half."
"In addition, Windless Plain is chosen for the decisive battle between Sword Venerable and Shaking Light King. The distance between Jingfeng City and Tianheng City is almost the same, which is fair. However, Alliance Venerable and all the venerables must always pay attention to the movements of the supreme lords in Tianfu."
"As for the candidates to take charge of Jingfeng City, they are still Alliance Venerable and Venerable Lishan. With two of them here, even if Tianfu comes for a sneak attack, it will be enough to sustain them until everyone rushes back," Ning Chen arranged one by one.
"Military Advisor, how about taking this opportunity to sneak attack Tianheng City?" Venerable Lishan suggested.
"It's impossible. That Heavenly Prime Minister will not attack Tianheng City easily, especially at such a critical moment. Although this person has only made one move, it can still be seen that his formation skills are beyond the reach of ordinary people. In this battle, there are too many supreme beings on our side to be distracted. If we want to capture Tianheng City, the possibility is almost non-existent," Ning Chen responded.
"Military Advisor, have you ever thought about what would happen if the strong man didn't intervene and Shaking Light King lost in a fair fight?" Zhao Liusu said slowly.
"I can only say that you'd better pray that this result doesn't happen, otherwise, the chance of Tianfu winning this war will be more than 70%. Even if Central Province wins by luck, the victory will be extremely tragic," Ning Chen said calmly.
As soon as the words fell, everyone was silent. There was no doubt that this was a result that none of them wanted to see.
Tianheng City, the messenger appeared and delivered the letter. In front of the stone chessboard, Xiao Bieli stopped playing chess and glanced at Jingfeng City's reply. He immediately destroyed the letter and continued to play chess with himself.
On the chessboard, black stones and white stones are crisscrossed, and it is impossible to see who has the advantage. However, murderous intentions are everywhere, and every step makes people deeply feel the difficult situation of nowhere to move.
"Tianxiang" Mu Changge appeared and said.
"Sword Venerable, remember, in this battle, you can only win, not lose." Xiao Bieli said the last word.
"Understood"
Mu Changge nodded in response.
On the chessboard, the big dragon takes shape, and the finishing touch ends the entire chess game. In the end, it is absolute force that determines the outcome of the war.
A wise man will make mistakes every time he considers. No matter how brilliant a wise man is, it is impossible for him to calculate every step. The existence of absolute force can simplify the war to the greatest extent and make up for the shortcomings of the agency's calculations.
The wise ones at the top help the situation, and the wise ones at the lower level make arrangements.
The Prime Minister of Heaven, the real decision-maker of Tianfu, is trying to seize the opportunity and create a killing situation.
