Cultivation begins with separation.

Chapter 146 Failure
Another three months passed.

Inside the pagoda, Yi Dong was looking at the battle report.

Underwater, the militia’s numerical advantage is difficult to deploy, but if it were on land, the militia’s cultivators would not need to rely on warships to fight the enemy.

"Are the Star Mang Clan really limited in numbers?

Moreover, their fighting power is really that strong."

After reading the battle report, Yi Dong was a little confused.

The number of Star Tribe members who showed up to fight was only about 100,000.

There were only about three hundred submarines that appeared, but their side had invested 500,000 cultivators and more than 10,000 flying boats.

Of course, it is impossible for more than 10,000 flying boats to be deployed in a narrow tunnel, and only five or six hundred of them go to the front line to fight each time.

Moreover, the militia commanders who are in charge of operations are not fools. It is impossible for them to let all the warships enter the tunnel to avoid being blocked from the front and back by the enemy.

More than half a year has passed since the battle began, and our side has still not captured a single member of the Star Tribe alive.

The captured Star Tribe members would commit suicide decisively, and their methods of suicide were somewhat sophisticated, and even the Golden Cores in the militia could not stop them.

In this regard, Yi Dong had some admiration for the Star Mang people. He was sure that among the cultivators captured by his side, selling out information was the least of their worries, and it was likely that many of them had already become successful in the Star Mang tribe.

There is no way. Human beings are a diverse race with all kinds of talents.

The enemy's intelligence was never revealed, while our general situation might have already been known to the other side.

Of course, there is a key reason why the enemy has not been defeated so far, and that is that the cultivators in the militia are not very motivated to fight and lack the courage to fight to the death.

Yi Dong had no way to deal with this. He couldn't force others to fight to the death.

The soldiers of the militia have loose discipline. If Yi Dong really forces them to fight to the death, they might run away.

They need to be allowed to adapt for a period of time, and then coercive measures can be taken after they have learned to obey.

Besides, there are many members of the Yi family on the front line, and it is impossible for Yi Dong to just hack them indiscriminately and disappoint the family members.

"In the final analysis, the flying boat is too weak. If we had Jin Xiu's warship, we would have been able to break through the situation long ago."

Putting down the battle report, Yi Dong felt helpless.

Of course, the pagoda is stronger than many warships of the fairyland.

But before the war, Yi Dong had set a rule for himself, that is, not to go to the front line under any circumstances.

Who knows what these underground races, which have been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years or even longer, will come up with when they fight to the bitter end.

He, Yi Dong, can fail ten thousand times, can cause a militia of millions of people to be destroyed a thousand times, but as long as he himself is fine, the war will not be lost. When it comes to victory or defeat, he can still distinguish what is more important.

"It seems that it is not so easy to defeat the resistance of the Xingmang Clan."

Thinking about it, Yi Dong gave the order.

Soon, the army under the sea began to retreat one after another.

There is no choice but to retreat.

Five hundred thousand immortal cultivators have been fighting on the sea without supplies for more than half a year, and their food and elixirs have been basically consumed.

However, the water temperature around the Bubble Canyon is extremely high, and there are basically no fish that can survive, making it impossible to replenish supplies locally.

The army retreated to an island named Bubble Island tens of thousands of miles away.

The members and leaders of the militia held meetings constantly to discuss how to defeat the Star Tribe.

Yi Dong naturally wouldn't waste time joining in their discussion.

He was only responsible for urging them to attack, and he did not need to consider how to attack specifically.

On Bubble Island.

Teams of law enforcement soldiers detained the cultivators one by one.

Those immortal cultivators were soldiers who were convicted for cowardice some time ago.

If Yidong didn't need them to mine, he would have killed these human scums long ago.

At first, some soldiers wanted to resist, but they were brutally suppressed before they could make any waves.

Moreover, many war criminals felt relieved when they saw that there were many Yi family cultivators among those arrested, and their rebellious mentality was weakened accordingly.

In fact, although the cultivators of the Yi family were also war criminals, they were treated differently after being arrested.

For example, after other immortal cultivators go down to the mines, they can only become low-level miners, while members of the Yi family will generally become supervisors or other managers. Generally, after immortal cultivators from aristocratic families are arrested, they can also become small foremen or similar grassroots managers, etc.

Differential treatment exists everywhere. Yi Dong didn't say anything when he found out about it. He understood one thing in his previous life: being fair in everything is the greatest injustice.

Yi Dong discovered that it was a good thing that cultivators had no means of storage. As long as he took away the magic weapons of those criminal cultivators, their desire to escape would not be so strong.

Moreover, the militia also left people behind when they teleported to the island in the underground cave.

Besides, it is impossible for ordinary people to ask the person in charge of underground teleportation to start the teleportation.

They wanted to escape, but they were either caught and chopped to pieces or had virtually no hope of returning to the surface.

Most cultivators would still plead guilty and go to the mines.

Without storage means, cultivators who mine cannot hide the ore privately.

Now, all the mineral veins nominally belong to Yidong.

Of course, Yi Dong did not keep all the profits for himself. He also took out 10% of the profits to distribute to the twelve military supervisors and those from the aristocratic families and those in power today.

After all, if there are no benefits for those people, they will not be very motivated to open mines.

The next year.

The militia attacked three times but still could not open the tunnel. By now, Yi Dong was no longer showing any mercy.

Don't blame him if he gives them almost two years to adapt to the battle and they are still cowardly.

He executed three Jindan who escaped from the battle and a patriarch of an aristocratic family by military law.

Many immortal cultivators below the Jindan level with serious crimes were killed.

As Yi Dong started killing, the cultivators in the militia no longer dared to be perfunctory and each legion began to attack with all their might.

Inside the Bubble Canyon, there is a huge waterless space.

Above this space, there are many star-like gems that emit light and illuminate the entire space.

At this moment, in the only city in this space, there are many injured Star Clan members coming and going.

The whole city was shrouded in a sad atmosphere.

In the past two years, the members of the Star Tribe have been very depressed.

Many people knew that although the defending army had been claiming continuous victories, the casualties were increasing.

The reproduction rate of the Star Tribe is not as fast as that of humans. The average lifespan of an ordinary member is around 200 years, and many couples will not give birth to more than ten offspring in their lifetime.

Moreover, in this space, supplies are not abundant and the proportion of cultivators is high, so a lot of spiritual objects need to be planted. Most of the time, the Star Clan relies on fishing for a living.

Now, the Bubble Canyon has been blocked by the human race, and the Star Tribe has not sent people to fish outside the Bubble Sea for a long time.

Various medical supplies and food were consumed rapidly during the war.

It can be said that now, the Star Tribe’s material supply is having problems, and some ordinary members of the tribe are even starting to starve to death.

The palace of the Star Clan was built on the wall of a mountain in space, with rooms dug out inside.

At this moment, in a room.

Mu Mu is talking to her mother, the queen of the Xingmang tribe:
"Mother, our tribe can no longer hold out. If we don't fight back, we will be slowly consumed by the human race until we don't even have the strength to fight back."

The Queen of the Xingmang tribe, Shan Meng, sighed.
“I originally wanted to capture the great general of the human race and threaten the human race.

I heard that among the legions this time, the family army of the general is the most powerful, and only by capturing him can the war be quelled.

But I didn't expect that the other party, let alone approaching our Starlight Space, didn't even come to the Bubble Canyon."

"Mother, it is impossible to capture the enemy using the Starlight Space, but we can destroy their flying boats. As long as they don't have flying boats, they won't be able to do anything to us in a short period of time.

Among their army, only a small number of foundation building and golden elixir masters can move around in the bubble canyon for a long time. Without the flying boat, they can only retreat. "

"What is the opinion of the Great Elder?"

"The Great Elder also agreed to attack."

Shan Meng thought for a moment and said:

"Let me lead the guards this time, and you stay."

"No, I'll go. I've been through a lot of battles in the past two years and my strength has improved a lot. I won't be caught easily."

"Okay, just do as I say."

In the Bubble Canyon, from the sea surface to the tunnel, there are flying boats constantly traveling back and forth.

Even though Yi Dong was in a hurry, the militia leaders still fought while ensuring their retreat.

this day.

Many tunnels opened up in the rock walls on both sides of the Bubble Canyon. A large number of Star Clan members, submarines, and some simple flying shuttles were interspersed in the Bubble Canyon, instantly trapping more than 5,000 flying boats in the Bubble Canyon.

The flying boats in the Bubble Canyon continued to break through, and the legions outside were also cooperating in the attack.

However, this time, the Star Clan dispatched nearly 500,000 cultivators and a large number of simple flying shuttles to tightly surround the group of flying boats in the Bubble Canyon.

Outside the pagoda, a group of committee members and several military supervisors asked to see Yi Dong.

After Yi Dong came out,

"what happened?"

A committee member quickly explained the current situation and then offered a solution.

"The other side has sent out three Nascent Souls to tie down a large number of our Golden Core cultivators. If the general can send out Nascent Soul forces or send the First and Second Legions of Xia County to the front, perhaps they can break the siege."

That committee member did not dare to suggest that Yi Dong open the pagoda tower to provide support, because the previous committee member who suggested that Yi Dong go to the battlefield had been chopped off on the spot by the Karma Puppet on the grounds that Yi Dong had fought ineffectively.

Yi Dong was in deep thought.

More than 200,000 immortal cultivators were besieged, and it would be impossible for the Star Clan to wipe them out in a short time.

In other words, the Star Clan probably cannot be wiped out because there are also militia cultivators on the periphery putting pressure on them.

However, the immortal cultivators in this world have a more troublesome problem, which is that they need food or elixirs to supplement their physiological needs.

Moreover, the spiritual energy in the Bubble Canyon is not abundant. If the spiritual stones carried are used up, not only will the flying boats be useless, even the cultivators who have consumed their mana will find it difficult to recover.

The life and death of two hundred thousand immortal cultivators is a trivial matter. If the other party seizes a large number of flying boats and the supplies inside, it will be much more difficult for us to attack them.

The first legion of Xia County is composed of sword cultivators who are good at killing. The most elite sword cultivator among them is the one with purple eyes.

The second legion is composed of Buddhist practitioners, who are better at defense.

These two legions are the elite of the Yi family.

"Okay, the First and Second Legions can go over, and I will go to the rear to urge for reinforcements.

Remember, if you lose this battle, you will have to go mining or hide underground for the rest of your life, and don't come back to see me."
