How come this mage can fight better than a warrior?

Chapter 423: The Southern Poison Sect Attacks 3

Under the ravages of the poisonous rain, the army in the south of Wu suffered heavy losses, and the originally high morale instantly fell to the bottom. The enemy they faced was not ordinary, but the army of the Southern Poison Sect led by the ten great gods themselves! This enemy army was fierce and unstoppable.

The army of the Southern Poison Sect was like a steel torrent, launching a mighty attack on the border of the Wu Kingdom. As soon as the two sides clashed, just a single encounter, the border defense line in the south of the Wu Kingdom collapsed like a broken dam.

The elite division of the Southern Poison Sect had experienced hundreds of battles and was fearless and brave. At this moment, their morale was so high that it seemed that they could break through the clouds and shake the world.

Faced with such a powerful enemy, the Wu army, under the command of Zhou Xuenong and generals Yang Quan, Yang Qing and others, made a decisive decision - to retreat to the mountains and forests to preserve their strength.

During this difficult time, Zhou Xuenong had been anxiously waiting for the arrival of reinforcements. Finally, when he saw Long Dong and others show up, the big stone hanging in his heart finally fell, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhou Xuenong did not dare to delay for a moment, and hurried forward to report the current battle situation to Long Dong in detail: "There are many god-level strongmen attacking our Wu border this time, and there are currently five known ones!"

Zhou Xuenong, who knew that there was a huge gap between his own strength and that of the other side, understood clearly that the existing strength of the Wu army could not stop the fierce attack of such a powerful god-level warrior. Therefore, after careful consideration, Zhou Xuenong resolutely led the Wu army to take a strategic retreat.

However, many soldiers in the army expressed strong dissatisfaction with Zhou Xuenong's decision. They believed that this was too cowardly and would damage the military's prestige. But Zhou Xuenong, as the supreme commander, was not swayed by these opposing voices and remained firm in his views.

After listening to Zhou Xuenong's report, Long Dong fully affirmed his approach. After all, when the strength between the enemy and us is too different, preserving strength for another day of battle is the wisest choice.

Facing the five gods head on, fearless resistance is nothing but a futile act of suicide. It is meaningless, and the best strategy is to retreat strategically to preserve strength and wait for reinforcements.

Five god-level warriors? Long Dong couldn't help but wonder. He thought to himself: With my own strength, it would be no problem to deal with one of them if I fight alone; even if I fight two, I should be able to handle it with all my strength. Nisis is also very skilled, so it should be no problem for him to deal with a god-level warrior. However, even so, there are still two gods who cannot be stopped.

At this moment, facing the five great gods of the Southern Poison Sect, Long Dong was not sure of victory. After careful consideration, for the sake of safety, Long Dong finally made a decision - to gather help first!

Long Dong gave orders to Taixu without hesitation, asking him to contact Osiris and Dot immediately and ask them to come for support as soon as possible.

After making all these arrangements, Long Dong turned to Zhou Xuenong and told him to hold his ground for now and wait for further instructions. Then, Long Dong turned his gaze to Nisis, and after thinking for a moment, he decisively left her in the Wu army.

You know, Nisis is a powerful god of praise, especially good at healing skills. As long as Nisis is there, the Wu army can not only speed up the recovery of its own combat effectiveness, but also undoubtedly have an extra layer of reliable protection in terms of safety.

Long Dong traveled alone and cautiously to the southern border of Wu State. He had only one purpose in this journey - to secretly investigate the true situation of the Southern Poison Sect's army.

Long Dong soon arrived at the place where the Southern Poison Sect's army was stationed. When he saw this army with his own eyes, he couldn't help but be shocked. What he saw made him dumbfounded, because he found that even the weakest soldiers in the Southern Poison Sect's army actually had the strength of a king! Long Dong thought to himself: "It seems that these people must be the elite troops of the Southern Poison Sect's army!"

Long Dong did not dare to take it lightly. He hid in the dark and observed attentively. After a careful count, he was surprised to find that the number of the Southern Poison Sect's army was exactly 150,000! This means that at this moment in the territory of Wu, there are a full 150,000 elite troops of the Southern Poison Sect, eyeing them covetously.

However, what shocked Long Dong even more was yet to come. Long Dong used the magical power of the Canghai Map to sneak into the camp of the Southern Poison Sect. As he went deeper, he was shocked to find that there were far more powerful gods here than the five Zhou Xuenong had mentioned before!

Including the dreaded Du Buqun, there were as many as eight god-level masters! Long Dong couldn't help but take a breath of cold sweat on his forehead.

At this moment, Long Dong was afraid and was glad that he did not act on impulse. If Long Dong had not chosen to stay put and wait for the support of the dragon clan, the consequences would be disastrous!

Long Dong thought to himself, "Fortunately, I didn't rashly bring Nisis to confront the Southern Poison Sect's army head-on, otherwise we would have been like sheep walking into a tiger's mouth, with no way back!"

Thinking of this, Long Dong decided to continue to lurk and collect more intelligence about the Southern Poison Sect’s army in order to find a countermeasure.

However, Long Dong at this time did not know an important situation—two gods of the Southern Poison Sect were actually sent out to handle other matters, which resulted in them not being in the military camp at this moment.

Facing eight powerful god-level warriors, even if Osiris and Dot arrived in time to reinforce, the outcome of the battle between the two sides was still unpredictable. After all, the enemy was numerous and powerful, and it was bound to be difficult to win the war.

On the other side, Du Buqun was nervously discussing countermeasures with his confidants. Long Dong, who was eavesdropping in the dark, heard every word they said clearly.

Through the conversations between the Poison God and his subordinates, Long Dong keenly realized that the Southern Poison Sect was now in deep trouble of resource shortage.

At present, the most urgent task for the Nandu Sect is to launch a decisive battle with the main force of the Wu State as soon as possible and achieve a decisive victory.

Because if the war between Wu and the Southern Poison Sect continues to be stalemate, then the Southern Poison Sect's army will soon collapse and disintegrate due to the depletion of supplies.

In addition, there is one more crucial thing: although the Southern Poison Sect quietly withdrew a group of elite forces from the front battlefield where it was fighting with the Western Demon Sect, the Western Demon Sect still knows nothing about it so far.

However, it is foreseeable that as time goes by, the Western Demon Sect will sooner or later discover this secret. Once they become aware of it, they will definitely seize this rare and excellent opportunity without hesitation and launch a large-scale fierce attack on the Southern Poison Sect's army. By then, the situation facing the Southern Poison Sect will become increasingly critical.

If the Southern Poison Sect accidentally falls into the dilemma of fighting on two fronts, then they will undoubtedly face a catastrophe. After all, fighting on two fronts is not an easy task for any sect, not to mention that the Western Demon Sect and the Wu Kingdom are not soft persimmons!

Looking at the front battlefield against the Western Demon Sect, since most of the elite forces had been transferred away, the remaining troops of the Southern Poison Sect were already unable to resist the powerful offensive of the Western Demon Sect.

If the Poison God Du Buqun and his men cannot achieve a decisive victory on the Wu side for a long time, then over time the frontal battlefield between the Southern Poison Sect and the Western Demon Sect will inevitably suffer a major setback, and the Southern Poison Sect will be not far from being destroyed.

When Du Buqun finished analyzing the battlefield situation, Long Dong, who had been hiding and eavesdropping, had already conceived a strategy to deal with the Southern Poison Sect's army. If this strategy is to be summarized in four words, it is "delay", "entangle", "exhaust" and "disturb".

The army that the Southern Poison Sect sent to invade Wu State this time was composed of elite soldiers who had experienced hundreds of battles. Facing such a powerful enemy, the Wu army must not choose to confront it head-on.

The Poison God Du Buqun was anxious to urge the Southern Poison Sect's army to start a final battle with the Wu army as soon as possible. After much deliberation, Long Dong decided to let the Wu army fortify their defenses and clear the fields to temporarily avoid the sharp attack of the Southern Poison Sect's army.

Although Long Dong chose to avoid the battle temporarily, he did not intend to let the army of the Southern Poison Sect go. You know, in order to fight against the invasion of the Southern Poison Sect, the Wu Kingdom has paid a lot of price.

As long as Wu's army can tightly entangle these elite troops of the Southern Poison Sect and not give them any chance to breathe, the Western Demon Sect's army will have a chance to completely defeat the Southern Poison Sect's army on the front battlefield.

Although the Nandu Sect's sneak attack caught Wu Guo off guard, Wu Guo quickly reacted. Facing such a powerful enemy as the Nandu Sect, Long Dong was not afraid. Long Dong knew that a head-on confrontation was not the best strategy at this time, and only a clever trick could defeat the enemy.

After finding out the details of the Nandu Sect's army, Long Dong returned directly to the Wu Army headquarters. A thrilling contest thus began.

Facing the powerful army of the Southern Poison Sect, Long Dong's first move was to delay. Long Dong carefully planned a series of sparrow battles, aiming to disrupt the enemy's morale and distract the enemy's attention, making them restless.

Long Dong commanded his soldiers to haunt the mountains and forests like ghosts, appearing and disappearing from time to time. This method of warfare made it impossible for the Southern Poison Sect to concentrate its forces to annihilate the Wu army.

Once the Southern Poison Sect also chooses to disperse its forces, Longdong will concentrate its superior forces and focus on annihilating them. Every time the Wu army attacks, they do not seek great results, but only hope to be foolproof.

Under such tactics, the Southern Poison Sect could neither fight nor not fight. The Southern Poison Sect's army was gradually weakened by the Wu army.

Because Longdong had been sending his troops to harass the Southern Poison Sect's army in turns, the Southern Poison Sect's army was exhausted.

Whenever the Southern Poison Sect's army relaxed a little, a Wu army would suddenly appear and launch a sneak attack on them, or countless magic cannons would launch a saturation attack on them. After the Wu army finished the attack, they quickly disappeared without a trace, and the Southern Poison Sect could only stamp their feet in anger.

As time went by, the elite division of the Southern Poison Sect gradually felt exhausted physically and mentally. The long period of high alert and frequent response to sudden attacks consumed a huge amount of their spiritual energy and strength. The originally unstoppable momentum was gradually worn out, replaced by irritability and anxiety.

Long Dong was always observing the actions of the Southern Poison Sect's army. Long Dong patiently waited for the best opportunity to fight. He firmly believed that as long as he could continue to delay, the Southern Poison Sect's elite troops would be exhausted and their strength would be greatly reduced.

At that time, it will be the perfect time for Long Dong to lead the Wu army to annihilate this powerful force in one fell swoop!
