Wu Shattered Star River

The war has already begun outside. Although both sides have mobilized more than twenty million troops, they have not sent them all in.

The two sides have only deployed five to six million troops, along with some experts. Only five Saint Sovereigns have appeared, launching tentative attacks.

The battle is not intense, feeling more like a game. The commander on the Eastern Region side is Long Jian, the deputy commander of the Heavenly Region Army, possessing great combat strength. He is one of City Lord Ding's most capable subordinates.

Long Jian is seated inside an ice ship. There are many Saint Sovereigns within this warship, and also… Jiang Han is inside this warship.

"Lord Long!"

Watching the Immortals fighting outside, and with the members of the Heavenly Blade Squad already in battle, Jiang Han frowned and asked, "Am I not going to fight?"

"What's the rush?"

Long Jian is from the Black Dragon Clan, with black scales all over his body and an aura like a mountain. He looked at the distant battlefield through the ship's cabin and said, "It's not your time to fight yet. Stay here obediently and await my orders!"

"Alright!"

Jiang Han pursed his lips and could only sit down quietly. He had changed his appearance, looking like an ordinary race on the outside.

Liu Fangfei was on this warship, while Lu Yu was on another warship and had not gone into battle.

Liu Fangfei glanced into the distance and suddenly transmitted a message to Jiang Han: "Jiang Han, don't worry. I suspect that Lord Wu Jiu has other arrangements. He will only let you fight after Lord Wu Jiu has transferred the Dao Ancestor Realm experts from this stronghold, otherwise it will be meaningless."

"If you expose yourself now, Cang Jie will come out immediately. With a Dao Ancestor Realm expert here, we won't be able to ambush him."

"Ambush?"

Jiang Han's eyes narrowed slightly, and he transmitted a message asking, "Are there experts lurking nearby?"

"I don't know!"

Liu Fangfei transmitted a message: "The specific plan is probably only known to Lord Wu Jiu and Lord Long Jian. We are not aware of it."

"No one knows if there are enemy spies among these Saint Sovereigns. If the plan is exposed early, we might be counter-killed by the Heavenly Unicorn Clan."

"I understand!"

Jiang Han stopped talking and waited quietly.

The battle outside continued and gradually became more intense.

After all, the two sides were mortal enemies. As they fought, they became truly enraged and began to fight fiercely.

After fighting for most of the day, more than half of these millions of troops were killed or wounded. However, there were not many losses among the experts, as it had not reached the point of life and death.

The two sides had been fighting for so many years, and the experts would restrain themselves slightly. If they were injured or the situation was not right, they would immediately retreat, and the rear would send experts to meet them.

The Eastern Region side retreated, and the Central Region side did not pursue closely, also ordering a retreat.

Cang Jie was very cautious and did not allow the army to retreat into the stronghold, but instead rested on the floating stones in the void outside.

Inside the Heavenly Flame Stronghold, Sun Sacrifice had returned. He had explored the vicinity for a few laps and had not found any experts lying in ambush.

"What's the situation?"

Cang Jie was a little confused. If there were no experts nearby, he could completely mobilize experts and troops to eat up the twenty million troops in the Eastern Region and leave half of the twenty Saint Sovereigns behind.

"Luring the snake out of its hole?"

Cang Jie's eyes flickered, and he was a little afraid to act rashly.

He and Feng Wujiu had known each other for many years. Back then, he was not yet the Crown Prince, and Feng Wujiu was not yet the commander of the Heavenly Region Army. He had suffered losses at the hands of Feng Wujiu before, and more than once.

Feng Wujiu would not give him twenty million troops to kill for nothing. Feng Wujiu must have something in mind.

Cang Jie sat at the table, closed his eyes, and gently tapped the table.

His status in the Central Region was very high. Since he didn't speak, a group of experts in the hall didn't dare to speak, quietly waiting for his decision.

"Let's see what happens first!"

After pondering for half an incense stick of time, Cang Jie opened his eyes. He looked at Sun Sacrifice and said, "Sun Sacrifice, please work harder and explore further. I always feel like there is an ambush!"

"Alright!"

Sun Sacrifice's body flashed and floated out. Cang Jie waved his hand, ordering his Saint Sovereign subordinates to retreat and do their own things.

After resting for two days, the second wave of battle began to heat up.

This time, the Eastern Region side still deployed six to seven million troops, along with some experts, which made Cang Jie even more surprised.

He ordered the same number of troops and experts to go up, while closely monitoring the surrounding situation.

This time, Sun Sacrifice explored a wider area, exploring for two days and two nights, until the Eastern Region side retreated before he sneaked back.

He entered the hall and shook his head, saying, "There are no discoveries!"

"Hmm?"

Cang Jie's eyes turned cold, and he said, "Never mind, when the battle starts tomorrow, we will increase our troops and experts to force them and have Cang Hao and the others prepare."

"If there is no ambush, then we will eat up these twenty million troops and kill as many experts as possible."

"Yes!"

A messenger immediately went to deliver the order. The Central Region side began to secretly prepare, mobilizing troops and generals, with a dozen Saint Sovereigns ready to go into battle at any time.

A day passed, but the Eastern Region side did not attack. Instead… tens of thousands of ice ships began to retreat!

Cang Jie was a little dazed when he received the news. What was the Eastern Region side doing? They mobilized tens of millions of troops with great fanfare, came here, fought two battles, and then retreated?

Moreover, they were retreating so openly. Did they really think that the Central Region's army and experts were decorations?

"There must be a problem!"

Cang Jie kept tapping the table. He didn't dare to act rashly, and he didn't even dare to pursue, only mobilizing a large number of scouts to investigate the Eastern Region army's whereabouts.

"Report…"

Two hours later, a scout sent back a message, the Eastern Region army had turned around and was flying north.

"What are they doing?"

Cang Jie didn't understand. He looked at the map on the wall and said, looking at a medium-sized stronghold in the north, "Could it be that they want to attack the Heavenly Seal Stronghold?"

There was a medium-sized stronghold half a day away from here. The Central Region had three bridgeheads in this area, the Heavenly Flame, Heavenly Seal, and Heavenly Wild strongholds.

These three strongholds were the Central Region's forward positions for attacking Heavenly Region City. If the Eastern Region army was flying north, then the target could only be the Heavenly Seal Stronghold.

"Cang Hao!"

After pondering for a moment, Cang Jie ordered, "Take twenty Saint Sovereigns to the Heavenly Seal Stronghold and mobilize another ten million troops to go there."

There were large teleportation arrays between the three strongholds, which could teleport tens of thousands of soldiers at a time.

Therefore, Cang Jie was not worried about the Heavenly Seal Stronghold being captured. By the time they broke through the formation, the experts and army here would have been waiting in full battle array.

Cang Hao immediately took twenty Saint Sovereigns to go first, while the army slowly teleported.

"Report…"

An hour later, a Heavenly Unicorn Clan member ran in, his face full of urgency, and said, "Reporting, Crown Prince, the Heavenly Southern Stronghold has been attacked, suspected to be… a Dao Ancestor Realm expert. It seems that a spy secretly led him in. That Dao Ancestor Realm expert is slaughtering inside the stronghold!"

"What? Did that old codger Ding make a move?"

Cang Jie suddenly stood up, the Heavenly Southern Stronghold was one of their five major strongholds, and this stronghold must not be lost.

He suddenly stood up and shouted, "Seventh Ancestral Uncle, please go there. If it really is that old codger Ding, relying on Offering Fan will not be enough!"

"Buzz ~"

An old Heavenly Unicorn Clan member with a hunched back and a cane appeared out of thin air. His eyes flickered, and he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Crown Prince, if I leave, what if you are suddenly attacked…"

"It doesn't matter!"

Cang Jie waved his hand and said, "There is only one Dao Ancestor Realm expert in Heavenly Region City. If other Dao Ancestor Realm experts come to Heavenly Region City, our one in the Eastern Region will definitely know."

"Besides, if a Dao Ancestor Realm expert dares to attack me, my father will be furious and will attack the Eastern Region with the strength of the entire clan. They cannot afford it. As long as a Dao Ancestor Realm expert doesn't take action, who among the Saint Sovereigns can kill me?"

"Alright, Crown Prince, take care!"

The old Heavenly Unicorn Clan member nodded, and then his body flashed, disappearing into the hall.
