This was clearly a top-tier big shot.
Thinking this, the gazes of everyone present turned more eager towards Leng Shan.
“Bang bang bang,” Lin Zhan tapped the table and said, “Alright everyone, stop looking at him for now. Especially brothers from Daodi who want to train war dogs can find Old Leng privately. We should focus on important matters now.”
As Lin Zhan spoke, Zhang Dabiao once again used the communication jade talisman to connect with Lin Tian and the young Taoist priest.
“Brother-in-law, has the fighting on the mother planet become a bit intense?” Lin Zhan asked the young Taoist priest.
Zhang Haoming nodded and said, “It’s so-so. It’s gotten much stronger than at the beginning, but it’s still not enough to challenge us. After all, the mother planet is our stronghold. If they could break through like this, what else would we brothers be doing wandering the heavens?”
Lin Zhan nodded and said, “You there, ease up on the defenses. Make it seem like our reinforcements are insufficient and we need to retreat to aid.”
The young Taoist priest’s eyes lit up instantly, and he nodded, “Big Brother, you’re going to make a move, aren’t you? Don’t worry, I know what to do.”
“I guarantee those two hundred fifty idiots attacking our mother planet will be so confused they won’t even know who their own mother is.”
Lin Zhan nodded, as expected of someone he had trained himself; it was convenient to use them.
“Grandpa, you also put up a tougher front. You must appear to be defending the second defense line to the death, waiting for our reinforcements.”
Lin Tian knew his great-grandson was full of clever schemes, so he nodded and said, “Don’t worry, the old brothers I lead already intend to defend to the death.”
“Da Biao, contact the Fifth and Eighth Army Groups and see where they are,” Lin Zhan said after comforting the elder and the younger before starting to assign tasks.
Zhang Dabiao quickly marked the locations of the Fifth and Eighth Army Groups on the map.
“Marshal, the Fifth Army Group is 500 kilometers northwest of our main camp. The Eighth Army Group is 600 kilometers directly north of us.”
Lin Zhan looked at the map and said, “Da Biao, send a command to Ouyang Mingxuan. Have him take the Fifth Army Group to rendezvous with Zhang Cong. After they merge, they will wait there for the Seventh Army Group.”
“Old Leng, assemble your troops and head towards Old Zhang’s location. Upon arrival, proceed with an forced march to reinforce the Heavenly Road defense line.”
“Command, the eight Army Groups of Daodi are to immediately reorganize their forces and reinforce the Four Great Fortresses, with two Army Groups assigned to each fortress.”
“All Army Groups responsible for reinforcement are not to seek an immediate victory. Their sole purpose is to tie down the Heavenly Clan’s army.”
Leng Shan and the eight great generals of Daodi were suddenly stunned.
“Marshal, if we all leave, you’ll be left all alone here.”
Lin Zhan chuckled, “Isn’t Saint Son Qiming precisely hoping I’ll send out all the troops I have to reinforce? Then I shall grant his wish.”
“I still have the Black Armored Army, Feathered Forest Army, Wei Wu Army, and Modao Soldiers of the First Front Army here. That’s more than enough. Moreover, I still have my Executioner Guard Regiment. With these 36 million people, even if the Heavenly Clan’s Ten Elite Army Groups were to arrive, it would be in vain.”
“Besides, we’ve already dealt with five of the Ten Elite Army Groups, and another one is being held back by my grandfather at the Heavenly Road defense line. Furthermore, with Saint Son Qiming’s current strategy, he can’t possibly have many troops left anywhere. It’s likely only four elite army groups remain. His troop strength isn’t much more than mine, so why should I fear him?”
As Lin Zhan’s words fell, the eight generals of Daodi looked at Lin Zhan with admiration.
In a place like Daodi, where strength reigned supreme, it was truly admirable for a human Imperial Son like Lin Zhan, who held a high position, to use himself as bait to lure out the enemy.
Only the young Taoist priest let out a helpless chuckle and muttered, “It’s over. My big brother’s old habit is acting up again. He wants to go head-to-head with Saint Son Qiming to see who is the true number one second-generation heir in all the heavens.”
The next morning, at the Heavenly Clan’s main camp.
Saint Son Qiming said with a look of surprise, “The allied Human-Daodi army camp has already sent reinforcements so quickly? And eight Daodi Army Groups, plus three Human Army Groups. If we count them, even with the Dragon Clan and the Sacred Beast Army Groups, the Human-Daodi army camp wouldn’t have more than five Army Groups in strength right now.”
“Is this Human Marshal truly so arrogant that he doesn’t take our Heavenly Clan seriously, or is he just not very bright?”
“Summon someone and issue an order. Surround the armies at the Four Great Human Fortresses and hold your positions. There’s no need for them to attack the Human Fortresses, just firmly tie down the forces within the fortresses and those rushing to reinforce them.”
“Order the Eleventh, Twelfth, Nineteenth, and Twenty-fourth Main Battle Army Groups to be responsible for intercepting the three Human Army Groups rushing to reinforce. They must block the Human reinforcements at least a thousand kilometers away from the Heavenly Road defense line.”
“Also, order Tian Nu to bring the Tian Nu Army Group to rendezvous with me. Leave just one Tian Li Army Group at the Heavenly Road Fortress. I will lead the remaining two elite army groups to depart for Lianshan Main City first. We should also go and meet this Human Grand Marshal.”
Half an hour later, the Heavenly Clan’s main camp began to move.
The entire Heavenly Clan army split into two routes. One route rushed to intercept the reinforcements of Leng Shan, Zhang Cong, and Ouyang Mingxuan.
Another route, composed of two elite Heavenly Clan army groups, set off at a forced march towards Lianshan Main City.
“Including the one elite army group and two main battle army groups in Lianshan Main City, our total troop strength will reach 70 million. When the Tian Nu Army Group arrives to rendezvous, we will have 50 million in just the four elite army groups.”
In a luxurious RV, the Heavenly Clan’s Chief of Staff held a roster of army groups and spoke to Saint Son Qiming.
Saint Son Qiming said while drinking coffee, “I have to say, the Humans have quite a few good things. Especially this coffee, it’s really good. It refreshes the mind. Although it’s useless for cultivators like us, sipping a cup of coffee slowly in the morning instantly elevates one’s status.”
“Don’t count the two main battle army groups in Lianshan Main City. They’ve been crippled by the Humans. The two army groups combined are less than one regular army group. However, the Tian Qing Army Group performed well, with minimal casualties, and displayed the might of our Heavenly Clan.”
“Send someone to relay the order, tell the Tian Qing Army Group to prepare for battle. They are to merge with us as soon as we arrive. As for the two main battle army groups, let them be responsible for outer perimeter security. Our Heavenly Clan’s army groups have already lost nearly half of their strength in this battle. We cannot afford to have any more army groups disbanded.”
Saint Son Qiming said elegantly.
If Marshal Lin were to see this scene, he would definitely curse Saint Son Qiming, the pretender.
He, young master Lin, always rode a giant panda into battle, when had he ever traveled in a vehicle?
At most, to show off his prestige, he would swap the giant panda for a black turtle.
