Lin Zhan looked at Leng Shan's message with a cold sneer.
The message only contained four words: 'Fifth Army'.
"Rommel, that son of a bitch has really set his sights on my Lin family. It has to be my brother-in-law who did a beautiful job, blowing up his ancestral grave and sending it to heaven."
He then turned to the young Taoist and said, "Go and bring your wolf riders over, and let the old ancestor Tiemuzhen move around too."
The young Taoist nodded, then scurried out on his short legs.
Lin Zhan said to Zhang Dabiao, "Dabiao, relay orders to the First, Second, and Third Armies to attack fiercely."
"Then relay to the Fifth Army, and tell my two uncles about the suspicion that the giant demon race is preparing to encircle and annihilate the Fifth Army."
"Also, order the Fourth Army to hold their ground and prepare to engage."
"Furthermore, transmit Leng Shan's plan and arrangements to Jiang Zheng of the Sixth Army, tell him reinforcements are coming, and instruct him to devour any allied forces of the ten thousand races that dare to have ideas."
"Yes, Marshal."
As soon as Zhang Dabiao left, Tiemuzhen, along with several grassland kings, entered.
"Marshal, what are your orders?"
Lin Zhan nodded and said to the grassland kings, "Let's make a long story short. The giant demon race's reinforcements have arrived, and they intend to devour our Fifth Army."
"Old Ancestor Tiemuzhen, I require you to divide your five million grassland warriors into ten portions. You choose your own commanders and send 500,000 to each of the First and Second Armies."
"Send one million to each of the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Armies. Then, cooperate with the arrangements of Jiang Zheng of the Sixth Army to devour all the ambushing allied forces of the ten thousand races."
Tiemuzhen nodded and said, "Marshal, rest assured, the eagles of the grassland..."
"Big brother, stop talking about your eagles. If you keep rambling, we'll have our wages deducted again."
With that, Tiemuzhen was muffled and carried out by several grassland kings.
Not long after Tiemuzhen and his entourage left, Xuan Zhen entered. "Young master, I have selected the personnel. There are a total of 1,300 high-level kings, all in peak condition. The God-Slaying Crossbows have also been brought."
Lin Zhan nodded and said, "Divide 300 men, and have them hover behind the Fifth Army. They will be responsible for killing any kings ambushing the Fifth Army." Suden Novel Network
"The remaining 1,000 men will go to the central army. Although Rommel has made such a large commotion to devour the Fifth Army, his ultimate goal is still Leng Shan in the center."
"These are the elites among our Human Alliance who are skilled in jungle warfare. Rommel will not let Leng Shan go."
"Only by defeating the central army can the demon forest become the graveyard of the Human Alliance. Otherwise, it's anyone's guess who will win."
...
After Jiang Zheng received Zhang Dabiao's message, he immediately began to consolidate his forces, waiting for reinforcements to arrive while planning how to completely annihilate this giant demon army that intended to ambush them.
"Good heavens, Lin Laohei is using the Fifth Army as bait, and wants me and Leng Shan to lead the encirclement."
"But the situation doesn't seem right. The main target of the allied forces of the ten thousand races should be Leng Shan's central army. Attacking the Fifth Army will only enrage Lin Zhan, and nothing else will be of much use."
As Jiang Zheng was muttering to himself, Zhebie walked in from outside. "What are you muttering about?"
Upon seeing Zhebie, Jiang Zheng quickly smiled and said, "Old Ancestor Zhebie, are you bringing the reinforcements?"
Zhebie nodded and said, "Muqali and I are bringing the troops. I've arrived with 500,000 men, and Muqali is following with another 500,000, in case you want to support the Fifth Army. This way, we can be faster."
Jiang Zheng shook his head and said, "Have Old Ancestor Muqali come up as well. We don't need to go around to support the Fifth Army. Leng Shan already has the White Tiger clan waiting behind."
"Old Ancestor, who is providing reinforcements for the Fifth and Fourth Armies?"
"The Fifth Army is personally led by the Great Khan and Chutai. The Fourth Army is led by Ogedai and Kublai," Zhebie replied.
Jiang Zheng quickly brought up the map and began to examine it.
After a while, he confirmed the location and pointed to a river on the map.
"Since we're going to fight, let's do it big. This large river connects the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth auxiliary roads. We'll attack here at the fastest possible speed. Then I'll lead my men to defend on the spot and contain the giant demons."
"You and Old Ancestor Muqali will proceed directly along this river to the Fifth Army, bypassing it to attack the giant demons ambushing from their rear, striving to completely annihilate this ambushing giant demon army."
"I will notify the Fourth Army to do the same. Let Old Ancestor Ogedai and Old Ancestor Kublai bypass to attack the giant demons' rear with you."
Zhebie looked at the marked points on the map, his eyes lit up, and then said,
"This plan is feasible. We'll go directly to their rear. Since the giant wolves can swim, our march will be faster, but I'm worried about the safety of marching in the water."
Seeing Zhebie's worried expression, Jiang Zheng quickly said,
"Marshal has already sent Zhang Cong with the Dragon clan and the Boa constrictor clan into the water. These fellows should now be hidden in various water bodies, waiting for someone to come."
"Alright, since you and the Marshal have decided, let's do it. I'll go and send a message to Muqali now." Zhebie said and strode out of the tent.
Jiang Zheng pondered over his plan again, then sent the entire plan to Lin Zhan.
Lin Zhan, sitting in the command center, laughed heartily upon receiving Jiang Zheng's message.
If Jiang Zheng's plan were to be incorporated, the allied forces of the ten thousand races would suffer a great loss this time.
Jiang Zheng used the wolf riders crossing the river as bait to lure out the sea races in the demon forest and reduce the number of kings of the ten thousand races besieging Leng Shan's central army from the flanks.
He then used himself as bait to lure the giant demon army of the Sixth Auxiliary Road to besiege him, waiting for the Fifth Army to finish its battle and come to reinforce him and the Fourth Army, which had the same plan.
Leng Shan used his central army as bait, staging a play he himself directed, preparing to counter-attack the giant demons who came to attack him.
Then, he dug a big pit for the Fifth Army, and while calculating against Rommel, he would also devour the giant demons ambushing the Fifth Army.
Good heavens, the entire outer area of the demon forest was now overcrowded. Both the Human Alliance and the giant demons had deployed over 20 million troops.
Moreover, the giant demon race had even more troops.
Now, both the warriors of the Human Alliance and the giant demons were elite fighters who dared to fight and kill. The next step would depend on whose commander had a more comprehensive plan.
Lin Zhan turned to the young Taoist and said, "Brother-in-law, contact Xian'er and have her ready to launch long-range strikes at any time using the immortal array."
