Chapter 917 The war is coming

The battle of "siege and attack" lasted for several days.

Wei Se participated in several of the plans to lure the enemy into an ambush, and most of them went smoothly. The enemy was completely unprepared in this regard at the beginning, and under Wei Se's wonderful acting skills and ability to react to changes, they were mostly led into a ditch.

Although he did not annihilate all the enemies in the end, it can still be counted as a great achievement for him. Within a few days, the number of enemies killed accumulated in his military merit book had reached tens of thousands, so it could be said that he was able to defeat ten thousand enemies.

Most of the time he was able to escape unscathed, but accidents were inevitable. He was injured twice, but neither was serious. He recovered quickly under the treatment of the camp doctor.

He was lucky in this respect, as other scouts who were on missions also lost their way and never returned. There were also missions that failed, and even the ambushing troops suffered heavy losses. These were all inevitable things in war. When two armies confronted each other, it was impossible to completely avoid casualties even if they were careful and unintentional. Being able to incur heavy casualties on the other side at a small cost was already a very cost-effective thing.

However, such smooth progress is not the norm and it is impossible for it to continue forever.

"It seems the news has spread?"

Han Shengyuan said: "The word must have spread. The enemy no longer rushes back in small groups, but gathers troops in the central area under their control. Now they have gathered more than 100,000 people. They naturally know that the small team coming back is just to send us food, so they want to concentrate their forces to defeat us in one fell swoop."

Wei Se nodded and said, "That's not bad. They reacted quite slowly."

He also knew that any tricks would not last long. The so-called clever plan was generally to take advantage of the information gap and try to achieve the greatest results when the opponent was not well-informed. If the battle could be ended quickly, then victory would be complete. But generally there was no such good thing.

Tens of thousands of troops have been killed in the past few days, all of whom were captured by surprise attacks with huge advantages in local areas. It was like cutting a large knife out of thin air. Now the knife has been cut, and no matter how many are left, they can only be fought face to face.

"So... we are going to have a decisive battle?"

Han Shengyuan said: "Yes, the higher-ups have ordered our camp to temporarily stop activities and stay on standby. Perhaps the next order will be to disband the scout battalion and reorganize it into various units to wait for the decisive battle on the battlefield."

Wei was startled and said, "Why should we disband? We can also be of great use on the battlefield. For example, we can sneak into the enemy's camp and get close to those high-level key figures. At the critical moment, we can give them a fatal blow and at least gain some advantages."

Han Shengyuan said, "You have a good idea, but the evil gods are not fools. We have a team that has completely failed, and even been captured. They can no longer hide their disguises. In this case, of course they pay special attention to the identification of friend or foe. Now I don't know what means they use, but they can definitely distinguish who is our own and who is an imposter. If we pretend to be close, I'm afraid we will be recognized after just a few steps."

He patted Wei Se and said, "Anyway, we have done very well this time. We have simply added a layer of benefit to the decisive battle out of thin air, but it has come to an end. The final battle will still depend on who is stronger and who has a deeper foundation. In a head-on confrontation, I think we will not lose in this regard."

Dangerously, he said, "Yes..."

Han Shengyuan said: "Why do you still look so unconfident? I think we have the advantage. We were originally evenly matched with the Heavenly Demons, and now the Heavenly Demons have split up out of thin air, with one part joining forces with us to fight the other part. As one gains, the other loses. We will definitely have the upper hand."

Wei Se smiled and nodded in agreement.

  But he obviously disagreed in his heart, because the algorithm was different. Now it was clear that there were two camps. The one who was originally at the same level as humans was actually the traditional camp, which was the Hundred Races Camp headed by Haotian in the Pantheon. Now it has almost been swallowed up and destroyed by the evil god camp. In other words, the evil god camp far exceeds the traditional camp that can compete with humans. Now the remnants of the traditional camp have joined the human side, and the bonus is actually close to nothing. So isn’t it the human camp versus the evil god camp?

The evil camp was able to defeat the traditional camp that had maintained order for thousands of years in just a few years. Can humans really win?

He didn't tell anyone about his worries, because some of the information was only known to him, from Tang Zhao's letter. This was information that he shouldn't know at his level.

But thinking of Tang Zhao's letter, he felt a little more confident: although Tang Zhao's letter described the power of the evil gods and demons, it was generally full of confidence and high morale. These might be fake, but Wei Se felt that it was not fake. The confidence between the lines was not something that could be easily faked.

Besides, why would Tang Zhao even fake his private correspondence?

  Maybe he really has confidence?

Since the strategy has been adjusted, Wei Se naturally has no choice but to obey the order. He reported his follow-up plan to the scout camp, but did not receive a reply like last time. Perhaps it was because the upper management considered that the focus was not on the scouts now?

Ran Wei Se knew that the story of the scouts was not over yet. These fake insiders were useless, but there were still many real insiders in the opposing camp. They were the students he had taught in the training institute, and they were still lurking in the Heavenly Demon Realm. Some of them had naturally completed their missions, or had become "insiders" of the Haotian camp, but there were always a few who were really lurking in the Evil God camp.

Those spies are from the evil god camp and will not be screened out by the means of detecting temporary foreign enemies. They may play an unexpected role in the final battle.

A spy is "strange". In the vast trend, the role of strangeness may flash like a meteor, drawing a brilliant light, but what can truly illuminate the sky is the sun, which is "positive".

The important figures who can decide the fate of the world have gathered at this time to make final discussions.

In the camp. "Priest Haotian, Priest Hutian, Priest Mingtian, and this one..."

"Juntian."

"Oh, I haven't heard of it. Am I ignorant?" Zhen Jian, who was in charge of reception, was a little surprised. "Does your temple have a new high priest? Congratulations."

"Well, this is the high priest of the Great Bear God." Haotian and the human camp explained: "He was originally the great elder of the Fire Spirit Clan. Later, he was favored by the Great Bear God, his strength increased greatly, and he joined our ranks. He can also represent the meaning of the Great Bear God."

A sense of wonder crossed Zhen Jian's mind, and he smiled and said, "So it's the High Priest, the messenger of the Great Bear God. He is indeed a distinguished guest. Speaking of which, we haven't seen the Great Bear God since the Skyfall Island. His current status is very important. I wish the Great Bear God could come in person, but since his High Priest is here, I guess it's about the same."

Zhen Jian felt strange, and the High Priest Juntian also felt strange.

  You said he was originally just a great elder of a small fire spirit tribe, so how did he become the highest high priest in the spiritual world?

Because of the Great Bear God, not only did he become the top high priest, but even the Fire Spirit Clan also ascended with him, and now they are almost becoming the "first clan of gods".

This was a rare opportunity that only comes once in a thousand years. If he didn't know the details and only wanted to serve Taixiong God, he would definitely be very excited and honored.

however……

  He knows the truth. Does he know how Taixiongshen came about?

That's... a human pretending to be a god! How can he be the main god of the spirit world? And rule over all the races in the spirit world?

But now that it has come to this, he absolutely cannot turn back. Since he can no longer get off the boat, he still hopes that the boat can go as far and as fast as possible.

Besides... if he could be the captain of this big ship, Great Elder Juntian would not be very opposed to it.

However, seeing this human swordsman praising Taixiong God so much, he was even more suspicious: You should know who Taixiong God is, right? He should be on your side, right? Are you acting as a "stooge" for him?

But no matter what, since Taixiong God had not given him the task of contacting humans, he naturally would not risk exposing it. He smiled and said, "I am just a pair of eyes and ears of my God. I only see and listen, but I don't speak. Haotian Priest is our leader. He makes the decision. If my God has any instructions, he will come down immediately and tell them in person."

Zhen Jian clapped his hands and said, "That's great. We are also waiting to see the demeanor of Tai Xiong God. If he can face the evil god directly, it will be a great help to us."

Haotian said in a deep voice: "Don't talk about the evil god for now. Maybe the evil god will wake up unexpectedly, but that is just an additional variable. We are mainly here to deal with the evil god's believers."

Several people entered the big tent, and several sword masters of Qianjian were all there. This time both sides were present, and it was also the last combat meeting before the decisive battle. All tactical decisions would be made here, and even if there were improvisations later, it would not shake the overall strategy.

It's like the hand holding the dice. Once you let go, the dice is thrown and the result depends on fate.

In the middle of the tent, there is a huge screen with a map on it. In addition to the usual icons, there are some arrows moving and some numbers next to them changing in real time.

Of course, as expected, the "Bai Yu Sheng Hui" trademark can also be seen in the corner of this exquisite map.

"Five hundred thousand..." Haotian saw this most conspicuous number as soon as he came in, and read it out loud: "The enemy has gathered five hundred thousand... Damn it."

  Haotian was certainly not completely ignorant of the situation on the battlefield. What shocked him was the growth rate of the enemy's army. The number he obtained when he set out was still 420,000, but in just a short while it increased by 80,000!

These 500,000 were not cannon fodder soldiers, but real demons, that is, strong men who could rival the swordsman. As the high priest of the Pantheon, he didn't know that the spirit world had such a useful fighting force! Now they were gathered by the evil gods and were about to die at the hands of humans, but he became an accomplice of humans. How could this be justified?

"According to the information we have received, if we count the followers of the evil god who are on the march, the number will definitely exceed 800,000 easily." Zhen Jian said solemnly, "And the limit for us humans is 280,000, including swordsmen and spiritual officials."

Haotian said: "Add us... let's count it as 150,000."

Zhen Jian nodded and said, "Then we have 430,000 standard combat forces. Well, this time the force ratio is... two to one."
