"We will coordinate from within and without to take down the Sky Clan legion on the north side as quickly as possible, and then we can fight however we want."
Upon hearing this, everyone agreed with Wang Erzhuang's strategy. Although it lacked profound military tactics, their normal combat strategy was simple and direct – just "fight."
"Then there's nothing more to say. We'll proceed with the young man's plan. Prepare yourselves. We will reach the designated location in two hours, and launch the attack in three hours."
Ultimately, it was Tie Muzhen, the eldest in seniority, who made the final decision.
"By the way, should we prepare for the possibility of the Sky Clan's Progenitors and Half-Progenitors making a move?" Wo Kuotai seemed to recall something and asked.
Wang Erzhuang shook his head. "It should be fine. It's come to this point, and the Sky Clan's Progenitors aren't common fodder. If any dare to show up alone, aren't they afraid Uncle Ye Fan will kill them?"
"As for the Half-Progenitors, it should be no problem. Changruo and Caoyu, those two ruffian ancestors of Great Shang, are with me. If any Half-Progenitor comes to cause trouble, we'll see if these two old rascals can deal with them."
Hearing Wang Erzhuang's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with reassurance.
Changruo and Caoyu, who had been hidden in the void, rolled their eyes exasperatedly upon hearing Wang Erzhuang's words.
"Father, this brat dares to call us old ruffians. When we return to our mother planet, I'll definitely go find that kid Wang Jian."
Changruo sighed and said helplessly, "Where will you find him? That kid Wang Jian is long gone. He's underground now. What are you looking for him for? Besides, the young fellow isn't wrong. You've forgotten what kind of background we come from."
Caoyu quickly shook his head. "How could I forget? Ruffianism is our Great Shang's signature skill. It must be passed down from generation to generation."
"Alas, it's a pity about that kid Wang Jian. He died at just over two thousand years old. Such a young age, gone too soon."
"Enough, foolish son, stop lamenting about that kid. Do you see that hidden void ahead?" Changruo pointed towards a section of space emitting faint energy fluctuations.
Caoyu's eyes widened, and after a careful look, he said, "Father, I don't see anything. Are you having hallucinations due to old age?"
"You impudent brat!" Changruo waved his hand and slapped Caoyu on the head.
"A newly advanced Progenitor of the Sky Clan is hiding there. I was wondering why the Sky Clan was so confident, not sending even a Half-Progenitor. Aren't they afraid we'll make a move and wipe out the leaders below?"
Caoyu was stunned, then his eyes lit up. "Progenitor?"
"Father, you can even detect a Progenitor? Does that mean you also..."
Changruo chuckled and nodded. "You guessed right. I returned to the ancestral land a few days ago specifically to advance."
"Son, go wander in front of that void. When the time comes, use your 'Great Starfire' and blast in. Once we make our move, we'll crush that bastard in the void so he doesn't interfere with our army."
Caoyu nodded. "You just watch, Father."
After saying that, a gaunt old man emerged from the void.
When Caoyu wandered to the void where the Sky Clan Progenitor was hiding, the Progenitor saw that it was Great Shang's Caoyu and his eyes lit up.
'Holy crap, this is a famous person! And this old geezer is only a Half-Progenitor now. If I can take this old fellow down, it will be a great achievement upon my return!'
Just as the Sky Clan Progenitor was hesitating whether to make a move, he saw the skinny old man in front of him instantly transform into a burly man engulfed in flames.
The over three-meter-tall burly man, holding a brick in his left hand and a large saber in his right, was upon him in the blink of an eye.
"Great Starfire."
A soul-shattering fireball fiercely struck towards the Sky Clan Progenitor.
The Sky Clan Progenitor hurriedly swung his sword to block and split the fireball, only to discover a remarkably hard, giant brick hidden within.
With a deafening "Clang..." the brick slammed into the Sky Clan Progenitor's head.
A wave of intense dizziness washed over him. Before the Sky Clan Progenitor could react, he saw another flame-engulfed burly man swinging a saber towards him.
"Holy crap, Changruo..."
A round head flew into the sky. A Progenitor of the Sky Clan was thus ambushed and killed by the ruffian father and son.
"Pah... Is this all you've got to come out and mess around? What were you thinking? The management of the Sky Clan is truly getting worse with each generation."
Caoyu looked at the Sky Clan Progenitor whose head had been severed by his father, spat on the corpse, and said with disdain.
"Don't spit carelessly, my boy. This is the corpse of a Progenitor. Bringing it back will be useful whether for alchemy or weapon crafting," Changruo said while reprimanding Caoyu, and simultaneously collected the Sky Clan Progenitor's corpse.
The battle in the void did not spread outwards.
The army below finally reached their designated location.
The commanders of the Nineteenth and Twentieth Legions of the Underworld Army, who had arrived for support, exchanged glances. "Brother, I'll attack from the east, and you from the south. Let's finish this quickly."
After saying that, the two legion commanders went to their respective attack points. Several Great Emperors simultaneously opened their Great Emperor space, and the Underworld Army rushed out like a tide from the space, charging towards the Sky Clan's military camp.
Observing the battlefield through his 'Eye of Reconnaissance,' Wang Erzhuang couldn't help but gasp. "The army from the underground is indeed fierce. If they learn military formations, their combat power will increase by two levels."
"Issue an order for the Fifteenth Legion of the Underworld Army to sortie from the north of the city and engage the Sky Clan defenders north of the city," Wang Erzhuang said to the commander of the Fifteenth Legion.
"Don't worry, brother, you just watch."
After the Fifteenth Legion went into battle, the area outside the Eastern Fortress erupted in chaos.
The two Sky Clan legions that had been holding their ground on the western side of the fortress also exploded into an uproar.
"What should we do now? Should we go to support or continue to hold our position?"
"I think we should stay put. After all, this direction is towards the human race's central army camp. Wang Erzhuang will definitely choose this route to break through the fortress. Let's wait a moment..."
Before the two legion commanders could finish discussing, violent shouts of killing could be heard from outside.
The two hurriedly walked out of the large tent and saw Wang Erzhuang leading the Wang family's personal guards, charging towards the camp.
"Ahhh, how audacious!"
Seeing Wang Erzhuang relentlessly killing Sky Clan soldiers, the two legion commanders' eyes turned red. They grabbed their weapons and charged towards Wang Erzhuang.
Wang Erzhuang, filled with killing intent, engaged them in battle.
