Cloud Peak Morning Moon

Chapter 279 One spoke with intent, the other listened with humility

"Damn it, Lian Shan Long Xiang, you better not take off your armor. Don't you remember what happened last time you were cut to pieces?"

Li Siye scanned the battle formation and saw Lian Shan Long Xiang about to shed his armor. He immediately yelled.

"Order the first legion of the Nether Army to engage on the left flank, and the second legion of the Nether Army to engage on the right flank. Both legions only need to hold the line, focusing on defense."

"Understood..."

On the side, Zhang Dabiao noticed that their commander's strategy in this battle was different from usual. Lin Zhan typically behaved like a pack of wolves, first luring all enemies out until they revealed their weaknesses. Then, he would leverage their own advantages, like a mad dog, to strike fiercely. Lin Zhan was most adept at tactics that broke the whole by attacking a point, and broke the overall by attacking the whole.

However, this time Lin Zhan's approach was completely different. He immediately deployed the Mo Dao Army, the unit with the strongest combat power, solely to fend off the Sky Cavalry Legion. Throughout the entire battle, it felt as if he were acting like a bullied young bride, lacking any grandiosity.

Lin Zhan observed the battlefield with a serious expression and said to Zhang Dabiao, "Our troop strength is inferior to the Sky Clan's, especially their Sky Fury Legion in the center, which looks formidable. Therefore, we must prioritize defense. Once the Sky Clan's army has expended its initial ferocity, that will be our opportunity."

As Zhang Dabiao was contemplating, he heard Lin Zhan's words. Upon hearing this, Zhang Dabiao was stunned for a moment, but then felt a surge of emotion. His commander was truly remarkable, willing to impart such a profound skill.

"Um... Commander, if we were the Sky Clan, how would you attack?" Zhang Dabiao asked hesitantly.

"What are you, a grown man, getting so emotional about? If you want to learn, then learn properly. It's only yours when you've truly grasped it," Lin Zhan said, glancing at the moved Zhang Dabiao with a hint of exasperation.

"You watch. With the Sky Cavalry Legion blocking the front now, the Sky Clan's other forces cannot advance in large numbers. Otherwise, it would be our turn to be troubled. The best solution for the Radiant Saint Son in this situation is to cut his losses, withdraw the cavalry from the rear, and replace them with an elite, surprise-attack-capable legion to engage the Mo Dao Army. Then, they would mobilize their cavalry to find an opportune moment to attack our flanks. With the cooperation of the Sky Clan's left and right wing legions, and if their central army deploys another strong elite legion, our survival space would quickly be compressed to the minimum. Once we lose room to maneuver our battle formations, we won't be far from defeat, especially when we don't have a numerical advantage."

Lin Zhan spoke with intention, and Zhang Dabiao listened with an earnest heart. Just as Lin Zhan finished speaking, the Sky Clan's army seemed to react. A commotion broke out in the rear of the Sky Cavalry Legion, and they began to withdraw.
