Chapter 1798: Still Did Not Work
Large areas of golden light shadows dispersed in the sky. The Archangel’s Holy Spirit Dance came to an end soon afterward. Yali was ghastly pale. She only managed to stabilize her body with the support of Tang Wulin.
She shook her head helplessly. “The difference between the strengths of the two energies is too much. They have accumulated too many vengeful spirits’ power. It is strong and dense beyond comparison. The holy energy can only weaken it. It won’t be lethal unless my Holy Spirit Dance can achieve god rank.”
Fortunately, the Archangel’s Holy Spirit Dance was not completely useless. At present, the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array had remained at the same spot without continuing its advance.
In the distance, the people inside the command headquarters witnessed the scene naturally. They turned all quiet at once.
Ten minutes. That was all it took before the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array began advancing once again. It moved slowly in the direction of the Western Army Corps’ base.
Once again, Tang Wulin and his people attempted to attack taking turns alternately. The War God Hall’s powerhouses were at it as well. However, the best they could do was to slow down the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array’s advancement.
The blockade continued till dusk. The distance between the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array and the Western Army Corps’ frontline was down to the final hundred kilometers. On the mountain peak where the defense troops were stationed, one could already clearly see the great array.
Every single person’s chest felt unusually heavy. How could they fight against an opponent like this? They could only imagine the situation that would take place if such an opponent was not stopped.
The garrison guarded their positions and locked down all the paths that led to the continent. The rest of the army corps could not be called in for reinforcements now. The crucial point was that it would be useless even if they could come.
Going by the current speed of the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array, it would take until the dawn of the next day before it reached the Western Army Corps’ garrison.
Dong Zian had hurried the headquarters countless times. Yet, the Eternal Heaven’s modification process was yet to be completed. It was still being carried out.
In the Western Army Corps’ command post.
“They must be doing this intentionally! Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect must be procrastinating on purpose. They want to seize the opportunity to weaken us.” Dong Zian roared angrily in exasperation inside the command post.
At present, apart from him, the Spirit Pagoda’s Pagoda Master Qiangu Dongfeng and numerous Spirit Pagoda’s high-ranking personnel were in the Western Army Corps’ command post.
A military officer of lieutenant-general rank said anxiously, “Regimental commander, you ought to make a decision soon! The Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array is definitely not something that we can resist. Our brothers will be sacrificed for nothing if they try to stop it!”
Dong Zian’s breathing sounded rather heavy. “Shut up. Do you think I’m not aware of that? Pagoda Master Qiangu, do you have any idea what to do?”
Qiangu Dongfeng shook his head with a forced smile. “There’s nothing you can do. The great array’s overall strength is too powerful. There’s nothing we can do either. The only hope is the Eternal Heaven. I truly didn’t expect the Holy Spirit Cult to be capable of making such a powerful entity. General, I’m afraid that we can only retreat now.”
“Retreat?” Dong Zian clenched his fists tightly. What was the significance of a retreat? A retreat meant that they would have to abandon their initial defense position. It took time to build the defense position, similarly, it would take time to remove it as well. There was absolutely no time for them to remove the structure now. In other words, they could not rebuild the structure once again if they chose to abandon their position. Moreover, their retreat meant opening up a path for the abyssal legion. It was highly probable that the numerous abyssal creatures would jump onto the path and march right into the continent’s land.
Nonetheless, if they chose not to withdraw, then they would be directly confronted by the assault of the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array. The assault would certainly be catastrophic for the Western Army Corps.
“We can’t fall back. If we do that, we’ll be deemed the Federation’s criminals.” Dong Zian closed his eyes in agony.
Qiangu Dongfeng gave a suggestion. “What if we’re only pretending to fall back? I highly suspect that Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect are refusing to utilize the Eternal Heaven. They want to wait until the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array has caused mass destruction before they utilize the weapon. They want to weaken us first before killing the opponent. Moreover, the Eternal Heaven’s explosion will certainly impact us as well. Why don’t we pretend to fall back and see the response from the command headquarters and the Tang Sect?”
Dong Zian opened his eyes once again. The glint in his eyes glimmered fitfully.
In Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect’s campsite.
The numerous fatigued powerhouses were seated cross-legged under the Life Subtree.
They had exhausted themselves, yet they did not manage to stop the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array from advancing. They needed time to recuperate from the exhaustion.
Fortunately, the Life Subtree was there to help them recover faster.
Tang Wulin focused his spirit and initiated his inner sight to observe the situation inside his body. He felt that he could penetrate the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array if he doubled his efforts. He should be able to do that by relying on both the Golden Dragon Spear and the golden trident.
What if he could really make his way into the array? He might end up being cornered like a tortoise in a jar after entering the array. Perhaps, he might not have the chance to break free again.
The Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array was just like a rubber ball. Even if he managed to break in, the rubber ball would spontaneously heal itself and trap him inside.
It would be great if she was by his side.
Tang Wulin recalled the scene where he had joined forces with Gu Yuena in the past. They were capable of unleashing the Dragon God Transformation when they were together. They even managed to defeat the abyssal Sage King when they used the Dragon God Transformation. They were both much more powerful now. They might stand a chance if they could collaborate with each other!
But, would she consent to work with him?
At the thought of this, Tang Wulin opened his eyes slowly and gazed in the direction of the Western Army Corps.
Even the Spirit Pagoda could not stop them at this crucial moment. After all, the Western Army Corps was about to brace the frontal assault.
All of a sudden, Tang Wulin stood up in astonishment.
Since the mountain peak was the highest in its surroundings, it gave them an extremely wide view. He noticed that the Western Army Corps was showing signs of movement. The mechas rose into the sky and slowly moved backward. Numerous vehicles on the ground had also begun to move back slowly.
What were they doing? Were they withdrawing from their position?
There was still some time before the arrival of the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array! How could they just abandon their position?
Tang Wulin hastily dialed the soul communicator and contacted the command headquarters.
“Supreme commander, what’s going on with the Western Army Corps? Why are they suddenly withdrawing? Is that your arrangement?” Tang Wulin bombarded him with questions.
Yu Guanzhi was obviously infuriated. “No, of course not. How could they abandon their position just like that? F*ck, I can’t get a hold of the communications at the Western Army Corps. I’ve already sent someone over. No, I must go over personally to take a look. Don’t panic, Tang Sect Master. I’m going to stop them at once.”
In a rage, Yu Guanzhi was almost driven to madness. The act of getting cold feet was punishable by a court martial. Furthermore, it was a serious offense whereby the punishment could be an execution by shooting! He had not expected the Western Army Corps to retreat at this moment. Obviously, they were abandoning their position by concentrating themselves at the back of their position.
He joined Chen Xinjie in leaving the command headquarters. They headed straight for the Western Army Corps.
Dong Zian who was dressed in military uniform was standing on the shoulders of a blood-red mecha. It was his divine mecha in the form of a wolf. It allowed him to advance or retreat with ease. He named it after his martial soul which was the ‘Ferocious Wolf’.
At present, he was standing on the Ferocious Wolf’s shoulders overseeing the Western Army Corps in a battle array awaiting orders. He cracked into a faint, proud smile.
By now, Yu Guanzhi and the rest were in panic mode. Dong Zian wanted to see if they were going to utilize the Eternal Heaven.
He was not planning to retreat as he understood the military regulations really well. The Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array was at least six to seven hours away from them. He had adequate time to move his troops back to the defense position. Actually, they were acting according to Qiangu Dongfeng’s plan. They pretended to withdraw so the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy would utilize the Eternal Heaven as soon as possible.
