Chapter 5: Strategies to Break the Game
At the same time, on the northern side of the empire, at the beginning, the Tianyu Sect had a strong advantage in its own strength, and it did not pay attention to the matter of Wan Fenglin's attack on the Yingzhou Domain, because although Wan Fenglin was the first sect with a strong strength in the southern empire, it was also the second largest sect with a strong empire, and its strength was second only to the Tianyu Sect. However, because the Yingzhou domain was originally the "junction of the three states", bordering the Wanfeng Lin Suizhou domain, the Yushenzong Bozhou domain, and the Tiejianmen Luzhou domain, the Tianyu Sect arranged the most people and horses to garrison here, and because of the geographical advantage, the Tianyu Sect only held on and did not take the initiative to attack, which caused Wanfeng Lin to return many times in vain.
Later, even if he heard that Wan Fenglin had organized the seven major sects in the south of the empire and was preparing to form an "alliance", the Tianyu Sect did not pay attention to it at the beginning, because the seven major sects in the south were very loose, and in the eyes of the Tianyu Sect, they were not connected, and the seven major sects each had their own "thoughts" , It should be that the internal contradictions between the various sects are far greater than the contradictions with the Tianyu Sect, especially the fear of the six major sects in the south for Wan Fenglin is not less than that of the Tianyu Sect, because in the south of the empire, Wan Fenglin is the most powerful existence, with the ability to annex a certain sect and occupy another state, which is like saying an ancient saying "Cooperating with Wan Fenglin is like seeking skin with a tiger", if you are not careful, you will be bitten by Wan Fenglin. Because from Wan Fenglin's point of view, it is much simpler to annex a sect in the south than to raise the strength of the entire sect to confront the Tianyu Sect. However, he never expected that Wan Fenglin was willing to promise not to conquer the southern sects, and also asked the southern sects to imagine that there would be no possibility of the seven major sects in the south being united.
However, the Tianyu Sect never expected that the seven major sects in the south would actually put aside their prejudices and differences with each other, stop the land grabbing and infighting between the sects, and unite together to form an alliance. If it's just a Wanfeng Forest, the Tianyu Sect doesn't have to worry about it at all, but now that the seven major sects in the south are united, no matter how powerful the Tianyu Sect is, but to "one to seven", there is still huge pressure, especially the main forces of the Tianyu Sect are now concentrated in the Yingzhou domain, and the Yunzhou domain bordering the Luzhou domain of the Iron Sword Gate, the Shengzhou domain of the Flower Sect, and the Qizhou domain of the Lingyun Palace, and the armed forces arranged by the Tianyu Sect in the Dingzhou domain are weaker. If the western region launches an attack together, it will also be a great challenge for the Tianyu Sect.
The Heavenly Feather Sect was not sure that it could defeat the seven sects with one sect, nor was it sure that it could use the strength of the four major states against the strength of the seven major states!
The Heavenly Feather Sect is in a "predicament"!
According to the calculation of the Tianyu Sect, if he wanted to gain an "undefeated" situation under the "one-on-seven" war, he would have to give up the Yingzhou Domain, which borders the three major sects of the Earth Alliance, and the Jingzhou Domain, which is located in the southern part of the Heavenly Sage Great Plain and has no danger to defend. Then, concentrate all the forces on the remaining two major states, Yunzhou Domain and Dingzhou Domain, these two states have many dangers to defend, and the Tianyu Sect concentrates all its forces in the two states to hold on, so even if the Southern Earth Alliance is all dispatched, the Tianyu Sect can achieve an "undefeated" result even if it can't win because of the occupation of the Heavenly Danger.
But this is not the result that Tianyu Sect wants, and it is not worthy of his identity as "the number one sect in the world"!
It's not just because the four major states are not easy to come by, the Heavenly Feather Sect doesn't want to lose. Also because of the important topography of the Yingzhou region, starting from Yingzhou Island at the southernmost tip of the empire, it went north, to Linzhou domain, Suizhou domain, Bozhou domain, Luzhou domain, and then Yingzhou domain, and then north to the Jingzhou region, Zhongzhou domain, and imperial capital of the Tiansheng Great Plain, and continued north to the northernmost Yanzhou region and Xianzhou region of the empire. In other words, the Yingzhou region is the "central lifeline" connecting the "north-south" channel of the empire, connecting the eight major states in the empire's fourteen major states, one sea area and one imperial capital, and it is also the most prosperous, rich and populous area of the empire. It can be said that Yingzhou has mastered more than eighty percent of the "communication channels" between the south and north of the empire, supervising the major states in the north of the empire to the north, and overlooking the major states in the south to the south, which is a well-deserved "core state" of the empire.
The Tianyu Sect mastered the Yingzhou Domain, which was equivalent to mastering the "lifeblood" of the empire, so as the largest sect in the world, the Tianyu Sect did not want to give up the Yingzhou Domain.
In addition, the Jingzhou Domain, because it is located in the Tiansheng Great Plain, and the north is close to the Zhongzhou Domain, and the merchants and trade teams of the empire from the south to the north have to pass through the Jingzhou Domain, which also promotes the development of the Jingzhou Domain, and because it does not border the states of the seven major sects in the south, it has not suffered from war, and it is the most stable, prosperous, and the state with the best economic development conditions among the four major states of the entire Tianyu Sect, and one state region contributes seventy percent of the income of the Tianyu Sect. Money is extremely important to war, so the Tianyu Sect is not willing to give up this "God of Wealth Domain".
Just when the seven major sects of the Earth Alliance were preparing to jointly launch a new round of attacks on the Tianyu Sect, and the Tianyu Sect gradually fell into a "dilemma", at this time, the Tianyu Sect thought of the Purple Gold Pavilion and the Wuji Gate in the north of the empire.
Since he, Wan Fenglin, can find a "helper" and engage in a "big alliance", then why can't the Tianyu Sect.
Because the Tianyu Sect and the Wuji Sect both belong to the "Tiansheng Clan" canonized after the establishment of the "Tiansheng Empire" by the Tiansheng Clan. The history of the two major clans knowing each other and intersecting with each other is relatively long, from the "reckless period" when the Tiansheng Empire was not yet established, to the "conquest period" in the early days of the empire, to the "stable period" when the empire unified the whole territory, and to the current "chaotic period", the two major sects and the imperial family are closely linked together.
Tianyu Sect first went to the imperial capital to find the Purple Gold Pavilion, emphasizing his current powerful relationship as a "guardian of the northern border". It is emphasized that all along, the royal family of the Tiansheng Empire, the Tianyu Sect, and the Zijin Pavilion are a "community of destiny", and no one can do without anyone. It is emphasized that because of the protection of the Tianyu Sect now, the seven northern states and imperial capitals of the empire can be protected from the war during the chaotic period of the empire, especially the rich and stable Zhongzhou region and the imperial capital, because of the barrier of the four major states of the Tianyu Sect, so they have not been invaded by the seven major sects in the south of the empire, and can obtain a rare period of peaceful development.
Then, the Tianyu Sect explained enough to the Purple Gold Pavilion that if the Tianyu Sect was defeated in the battle with the "Earth Alliance", then the Tianyu Sect could only give up the "Yingzhou Domain" of the northern barrier of the empire and the "Jingzhou Domain" to the south of the Zhongzhou Domain. And even if these two major states are abandoned, the Tianyu Sect can gather all its forces back to the "Dingzhou Domain" and "Yunzhou Domain", and can use the natural dangers of these two major states to seek "self-protection". Because everyone understands that according to the strength of the Tianyu Sect, if the four major states are guarded, it is indeed difficult to lengthen the battle line, and if it is only to defend the two major states, then it is estimated that there is no opponent of the Tianyu Sect in the entire empire, and the Dingzhou Domain and Yunzhou Domain are dangerous, the terrain is complex, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
For the Heavenly Feather Sect, the loss may be the two major states, but for the Purple Gold Pavilion, this is not the case. If the Tianyu Sect is defeated, or the Yingzhou Domain and the Jingzhou Domain are strategically abandoned, the barrier between the north and south of the empire will be cleared, and then the "Earth Alliance" composed of the seven major sects in the south will "drive straight in" and attack the Tiansheng Plain at a glance at Pingchuan, it is estimated that the entire Zhongzhou Domain and the Imperial Capital will fall into the hands of the Earth Alliance, and then the Zhongzhou Domain, which has been operated by the Zijin Pavilion for many years, will no longer exist, and even the entire Zijin Pavilion may be wiped out. Because in the face of the powerful strength of the alliance of the seven major sects of the Earth Alliance, even the Heavenly Feather Sect could not stop it, let alone the so-called Purple Gold Pavilion, which was even weaker than the strength of the Heavenly Feather Sect.
The Purple Gold Pavilion is also considering the words of the Heavenly Feather Sect, and the alliance is about to come out!
