Chapter 610: Chapter 362: Strategic Shift, Cyan Cloud Cover Upgrade
It took them nearly five hours to capture the Four Symbols Main City, and by then, the majority of the army had already entered the East Sea.
Previously, there were still many Horned Demons forming alliances under some major guilds to resist, but with the fall of the Four Symbols Main City, many Immortals perished, and the morale of the alliance plummeted. Coupled with the Horned Demons’ military command ordering to hold the Silver Flood Dragon Main City, the resistance quickly vanished.
The nearly two hundred million strong Human army came and saw that three-quarters of the Four Symbols Main City had already turned into ruins.
Before they had the chance to explore the Horned Demons’ main city in curiosity, Wang Ziqing immediately issued an order, deploying twenty Celestial Immortals to lead teams, splitting these two hundred million players into twenty divisions to methodically remove each of the Horned Demons’ various outposts and guild headquarters in the East Sea.
At this time, the combat power of the Horned Demon Celestial Immortals was extremely depleted, unable to resist the actions of the Celestial Immortals.
Meanwhile, at the border between the Human Race and Horned Demons, at least over 1.5 billion non-military Human scattered players or guild alliances were flocking to the border of both races. After entering the East Sea, they received orders for military control, breaking into groups to begin a comprehensive occupation of the Horned Demons’ territories.
Orders were being issued one after another, but it didn’t look like a blitzkrieg tactic at all.
This was because, after capturing the Four Symbols City, the generals changed their strategies upon witnessing Su Yu’s true power.
"Su Dao You’s combat power is not just comparable to a Profound Immortal; it is the strength of a Profound Immortal."
Wang Ziqing spoke to Su Yu with certainty, saying in a deep voice:
"In that case, the original tactics are no longer timely and need to be replanned."
"I suggest following the standard path of a full-scale war, pushing forward head-on and occupying all Horned Demons’ outposts and territories one by one until the last piece of land is captured, leaving the Horned Demons without a foothold. According to the rules established by all races ten thousand years ago, in a non-civilization full-scale war, if any party cannot retake a main city within three years, it will be considered defeated and must withdraw from the area."
The other True Immortals all nodded in agreement, and Zhu Wushuang added:
"Not only the Horned Demons, but also the Fire Race and Six-Eared People can be handled similarly."
"We should first crush the Horned Demons. If the Fire Race and Six-Eared People get involved, we only need to hold each main city while keeping the main force focused on the Horned Demons. After three years, once the Horned Demons are forced out, we can then concentrate our strength against the Fire Race or Six-Eared People. With Su Dao You’s power, as long as the Profound Immortals do not intervene, no one is a match for Su Dao You, and he can defeat them one by one."
He looked at Su Yu and said:
"However, this method requires Su Dao You to endure a lot of hard work and delay, and it takes a bit longer, at least around ten years."
Su Yu pressed his lips together and nodded:
"Time is not a problem."
Although it far exceeds the planned stay time, it doesn’t impact much, just a mere ten years; the Cang Long Dragon Race will not fall to the Sea Snake Race’s hands.
The higher-ups made decisions, and the overall direction began to shift.
They directly mobilized tens of millions of craftsmen from the Human side, preparing to rebuild the Four Symbols Main City at an extremely fast pace.
A massive amount of resources was transported in, and a gigantic city rose from the ground.
It was still the framework of the Four Symbols City, with new cities built on each of the three destroyed islands, and the City Defense Array was re-established, identical to the previous sixth-level array of the Four Symbols City, which could combine the four cities into a superior composite sixth-level array.
The high-level arrays of various tribes are generally quite similar. The City Defense Array of the Horned Demons can be set up by the Human Race, and most of the Human Race’s main city defense arrays can be set up by other races as well.
This does not affect the safety of the main city. The City Defense Array might have various characteristics, but its core is internal. To influence or destroy the City Defense Array, one would have to destroy the formation eyes within the city.
Once the city’s defenses are raised, no one can affect the inside from the outside by void.
Even if the defenses are not active, the major nodes’ formation eyes have defensive protection, and there are temporary barriers that can be activated within three seconds.
Unless someone like Su Yu with Profound Immortal-level strength launches a surprise attack, breaking through might be possible, but in a full-scale war situation, even if a couple of main cities were breached, it wouldn’t matter much.
In just two months, over ten million craftsmen and ten thousand Array Masters, under the supervision of a dozen Celestial Immortals skilled in arrays, successfully rebuilt the Four Symbols Main City.
Meanwhile, over a billion Human players flooded into the East Sea occupied by the Horned Demons, spending a few months sweeping through half of the East Sea.
The main issue was that the area of Fallen Star Island was too vast, with any of the four seas spanning four to five billion kilometers north to south. The speed wasn’t fast enough; just traveling across the East Sea would take years.
However, despite the East Sea’s vastness, there are only a few core areas where players gather, and with the presence of Celestial Immortal leaders, capturing all cities is only a matter of time.
These days, Su Yu has been overseeing the Four Symbols City, occasionally venturing out to the Horned Demons’ Silver Flood Dragon Main City. It is now known that the Horned Demons’ main forces are gathered there, having amassed over two hundred Celestial Immortals and eight True Immortals within just five or six months.
Additionally, according to the information he received, the Fire Race and Six-Eared People have gathered experts.
They did not seize the opportunity to launch a sneak attack while the Human Race and Horned Demons were engaged in battle. Instead, like them, they are also assembling Immortal-level experts from their respective core regions and mobilizing forces. At present, their assembled Celestial Immortals and True Immortals number quite similarly to the Horned Demons, each with over two hundred Celestial Immortals and six to seven True Immortals.
It seems they are planning something big.
