Chapter 170: The Battle Ahead
When Qingrong was tired of dealing with the forces and personnel of all parties in Danyang City, the battlefield in front of the Heavenly Realm and the Pingyao Realm entered a state of calm stalemate, similar to the calm before the storm.
The rear base camp will always be accompanied by the battlefield ahead, and the battle on the battlefield is closely related to everything in Danyang City.
It is precisely because of the sworn protection of countless soldiers on the battlefield in front of us that there is now calm in Danyang City, although there are also deep-water rapids and reefs under this calm surface.
The short pause on the battlefield in front did not weaken the open and secret struggle of the forces in the rear base camp, and Danyang City was full of desire and hustle, and it was difficult to find a quiet land.
This ancient war involved all the monks in it, and no one could be left alone, and the air was filled with restlessness.
Even Wu Xiaoyan, who had just come to the Xuangu World not long ago, entered the wartime state at the fastest speed, and Xiao Pan, Xiao Yu'er and the Quartet Beast who followed him naturally followed Wu Xiaoyan into the rain and mist forest in front of him to participate in the battle.
Wu Xiaoyan from the future was naturally like Rui Qing, he had long known the final result of this Xuangu battle, and he did not hesitate to choose to side with the Immortal Emperor Yellow Emperor.
As the saying goes, "those who know the times are handsome"!
Previously, on the Heavenly Realm side, the morale of the formation master Yuanye had increased greatly, and it happened that when the defense of the Pingyao Realm was the weakest, the commander of the battlefield in front, Immortal Emperor Yao, temporarily returned to the city to report on his work.
Therefore, the Heavenly Realm attacked the city for a while, and took the opportunity to invade many areas of the Pingyao Realm in the Rain and Mist Forest, causing heavy losses to the Pingyao Realm.
Therefore, when Immortal Emperor Yao returned to the battlefield with Wu Xiaoyan and his subordinates, he was faced with an extremely complicated situation: the situation on the battlefield was unclear, and the soldiers who stayed behind were seriously injured and demoralized......
The Pingyao Realm desperately needed a huge victory to boost the morale of the army, but it was not easy to win in such a declining situation.
In less than half a month after Immortal Emperor Yao left, Yuan Ye actually led the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals to capture two-thirds of the vast Rain Mist Forest and the Ming River Valley, the intensity of the offensive was unprecedented, and the ambition of the Heavenly Realm to monopolize the Rain Mist Forest was clearly revealed.
The terrain of the rain and fog forest is complex and treacherous, and it has always been a natural barrier in the Pingyao realm.
The waters of the Minghe River that run through the rain and mist forest are wide and turbulent, and there are countless powerful demon beasts living in it.
These incomparably powerful demon beasts silently guard their respective domains, and if anyone dares to offend their domains, they will be counterattacked with all their might, which is the reason why many people have no return after cultivating into the Ming River.
The notoriety of the Minghe River valley has spread far and wide, resulting in very few monks and immortals daring to attack alone.
The Ming River is like a natural moat, surrounding the vast territory of the Pingyao Realm, and the demon beasts inside guarding their own realm are equivalent to silently guarding the beings in the Pingyao Realm.
Therefore, for the Pingyao realm, the rain and mist forest and the Minghe River basin are strategic places that cannot be missed.
Similarly, if the Heavenly Realm wants to capture the Pingyao Realm, it must capture the Rain Fog Forest and the Minghe River Valley, which has become the top priority of the Celestial Realm's attack on the Pingyao Realm.
For these reasons, the Ming River runs through the vast area of the Rain and Mist Forest, and has become a battleground for soldiers, where the strongest combat power and the vast majority of troops from both the Heavenly Realm and the Peaceful and Remote Realms are gathered.
Even more troops poured into it, and the monsters living in it were disturbed and restless.
The battle between humans and humans, the gladiatorial battle between monsters and monsters, and the battle between monsters and humans are going on all the time, and every living creature in it cannot live in peace.
The once calm and tranquil Rain and Fog Forest, as the war progresses, will only gather more and more forces, and the battle of life and death is going on here every day.
This is no longer a small kingdom for demon cultivators, the war has destroyed the balance of the demon cultivators, and these powerful demon beasts also can't stay out of it, and they have to choose good for the sake of their own bloodline inheritance.
It is impossible for the Pingyao Realm to let the Heavenly Realm encroach on all the Rain and Mist Forests, although this process of counterattack will be extremely difficult and tragic.
This may be the most difficult stage of the war in Pingyao, because their soldiers have long been exhausted, tired, and disabled, and in urgent need of rest and recuperation.
However, the opponents of the Celestial Realm were in the complete opposite state, they were strong and high-spirited, and they were in the most suitable state to attack.
Immortal Emperor Yao, who had just returned to the battlefield, was not in a hurry to fight back for the time being, he focused on pacifying the soldiers and protecting the existing territory.
At the same time, Immortal Emperor Yao also focused on exploring the battlefield and collecting intelligence, and Immortal Emperor Yao was eager to know everything that had happened in the more than half a month since he left the battlefield.
At the same time, Immortal Emperor Yao also needs to understand everything that is currently happening in the Rain and Fog Forest, and only by accurately controlling all the important information on the battlefield can he formulate a special battle strategy and carry out a full-scale counterattack.
The news of Immortal Emperor Yao's return to the battlefield was already passed on to the commander Yuan Ye by the scouts of the Heavenly Realm at the first time.
In addition to the well-known generals who participated in the battle around Immortal Emperor Yao, there were also several "people" who suddenly appeared in Wu Xiaoyan's master and servant, and they also appeared in Yuanye's top-secret documents for the first time.
For Wu Xiaoyan, Xiao Yu'er and Xiao Pan, the three characters who appeared out of thin air, Yuan Ye knew very little, and he had a hunch that these three strange "people" were likely to be extremely key figures, and they said that they might not have the ability to turn the tide of the battle, so Yuan Ye was very cautious.
Unknown things are often very scary, and Motono's fear is also reasonable.
Because only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles.
Therefore, Motono sent detectives to Danyang City to investigate Wu Xiaoyan's master and servant as soon as possible.
Due to his previous defeat experience, Motono was very cautious about Immortal Emperor Yao, and was eager to gather information and reorganize the recuperation army for a while.
Yuan Ye desperately wanted to fight a turnaround battle, he wanted to trample Immortal Emperor Yao under his feet, and he was busy preparing for the big battle, so he also stood still.
Motono's halted the offensive left valuable buffer time for the Pingyao Realm.
Because the coaches of both sides were busy collecting intelligence, the previous hot battle in the Rain and Fog Forest actually had a short cooling-off period, except for some small fights in the marginal area, the Rain and Fog Forest seemed to have returned to its former tranquility.
Of course, these are illusions, but is the calm before the storm a real tranquility?!
In the special period before the Great War, everyone was busy recuperating and anxious to adjust their bodies to the best condition.
Only the "special guests" of this war, Wu Xiaoyan and his entourage, were "idle" all day long, wandering around leisurely every day, looking like they didn't know what to do and were not afraid of death.
Fortunately, Immortal Emperor Yao's subordinates didn't have hope for Wu Xiaoyan, who was low in cultivation, so no one blamed or blamed them, but silently hoped in their hearts that when the big war came, these three "straw bales" would be able to pull their hind legs less.
Obviously, many warriors in the Pingyao Realm have regarded Wu Xiaoyan as a disciple of a family who came to the battlefield to spend money or experience life, and their hearts were full of contempt and hostility towards him.
Obviously, on the battlefield, everything is based on strength and military exploits, even if a person has connections and background, if he can't prove himself with strength, he will definitely not be recognized by his peers.
Of course, Wu Xiaoyan noticed the subtle little emotions of these people, but he didn't bother to explain it!
