“During a period when neither side trusts the other, we can do a lot of things.”
Su Qing's eyes lit up: "Try to deepen the conflict between the two sides, or take the opportunity to get rid of the Purple Fire Mercenary Group. Although we will lose some strength, we can eliminate our worries."
Ariel's eyes lit up. A sneak attack on Baizhan Pass was something she had never thought of before, but now that Su Qing had brought it up, she couldn't help but feel eager to try it.
This was something that had never happened before. As the defending side, they took the initiative to launch a surprise attack on the enemy's rear. The Central Army probably never thought of this.
In fact, this was also what Su Qing was looking for. He plundered all the enemy's food and supplies, and sowing discord between the Purple Fire Mercenary Group and the Central Army was just a side effect.
For Su Qing, it didn't matter if part of Chaos Territory fell, as the northwest region would not be involved in the war for a short period of time, and his Dragon Territory would have a long period of recuperation.
Ariel discussed the details with the two elderly people and ultimately decided to use the second and third methods.
This forced a complete break between the two sides, while simultaneously launching a night raid on Baizhan Pass.
However, the plan cannot be leaked, and currently only the three of them and Yilong know about it.
"The treasures are all in the territory's treasury, and I can't take them out for you right now. Here are a few pieces of spoils of war; if you like them, you can have them!"
Ariel looked at Su Qing, remembered her previous promise, and generously took out some items.
They couldn't unlock any skills, but they were clearly very valuable, and their wealth value increased significantly, unknowingly approaching 50 million. With a full burst of power, it could probably rival a high-level brilliant item.
It's hard to say about the top level; each level has its own unique methods, making them incredibly terrifying to fight.
As for peak-level glory, they are absolutely no match for them; they would only be utterly crushed.
Just like Ariel in front of him, Su Qing felt that if he faced her, he might be cleaved in two with a single blow.
However, given his ability to regenerate flesh and blood, he can simply put himself back together.
With the plan finalized, there was no time to waste. Su Qing had received two secret letters, and both sides would certainly be on guard. It was best to implement the plan immediately.
Ariel was quite decisive and efficient, inviting the leaders of the three major forces together that very evening.
This was the first time Su Qing had met the leader of the Purple Fire Mercenary Group.
Somewhat surprised, he found that the man was not the rough and tough guy he had imagined, but a handsome young man who looked to be in his early twenties with some freckles on his face.
Judging from appearance alone, it's hard to imagine that the other party is the leader of the infamous Purple Fire Mercenary Group.
"Lily, is there something you need from me?"
The young man's voice was gentle, and his eyes were filled with infatuation, but when he saw Su Qing standing behind Ariel, a hint of anger flashed across his face.
This is a man with a very strong possessive nature.
Su Qing made a judgment, but didn't care.
"Please have some self-respect!"
Ariel's voice was cold; she uttered only those three words and said nothing more.
Soon, the leaders of the other two forces arrived. They came at the same time because their two forces were a small alliance within the larger alliance, and they joined forces to rival the other two forces.
The minotaur from the White Bull Guild sat down casually as soon as he entered: "Girl, what brings you here?"
Once everyone had arrived, Ariel spoke directly, revealing the plan to launch a night attack on the central army: "They must have guessed that we dared to take the initiative to attack, which might have a surprising effect and buy us a day or two to rest."
The minotaur was taken aback after hearing this, and looked at the patriarch of the Stan family beside him, ready to see what this old fox would do.
After a moment's thought, the old fox nodded: "The plan is feasible. Even if it fails, the losses won't be too great. We can give it a try!"
Upon hearing his ally's words, the Tauren immediately declared, "Me too!"
The freckled youth pondered for a moment, then grinned and said, "My Purple Fire Mercenary Group will join too!"
The plan was quickly formulated. The four major forces assembled twenty Brilliant Realm experts plus four Brilliant Realm Peak experts, and they would make their move tomorrow night.
The plan was to make the move tonight, but the freckled young man postponed it by a day, citing the need to prepare.
This immediately convinced Ariel that the other party had definitely betrayed her.
Su Qing was also observing with his clairvoyance, and sure enough, that very night the Purple Fire Mercenary Group sent someone out to secretly deliver a message.
The following evening, Ariel set off with her men.
Along the way, another group joined Lily's territory, expanding Brilliance to thirty members and adding one more to Brilliance Peak.
This gave the illustrious peak-level member sent by the Purple Fire Mercenary Group a bad feeling.
Gradually, he realized that he was not heading towards the enemy's camp. Instead, he took advantage of the darkness to avoid them at high altitude and headed straight for Baizhan Pass.
This startled him, and he realized that something terrible was about to happen. He wanted to sneak away to report the news, but the old man at the peak of his glory was watching him intently.
Su Qing was not among this group; he had set off secretly on his own.
He planned to raid Hundred Battles Pass. It would be difficult to make a move if he acted with them, but if he went alone, time would be tight when he was robbing things. So Su Qing brought Chris along.
At the front lines, four generals frowned. According to the information they had received, they should have made their move at this time, so why hadn't they done anything yet? Had something gone wrong?
"Could the news be fake, and we've been tricked?"
One general speculated that he had always been very skeptical of the Purple Fire Mercenary Group's intention to cooperate.
After all, he didn't believe that anyone would be foolish enough to do something like this, where the fate of the party is interdependent.
However, the Purple Fire Mercenary Group showed considerable sincerity, and two of the other three generals felt that the Purple Fire Mercenary Group had been intimidated by the Kingdom's Allied Forces and might genuinely intend to cooperate with them.
The other general remained silent, resulting in a 2:1 ratio, which led to cooperation with the purple or mercenary groups.
The news that arrived last night greatly excited the four generals. If they could seize this opportunity to capture that woman, the subsequent battles would proceed much more smoothly.
They might be able to conquer the entire region in one fell swoop. As for cooperating with the Purple Fire Mercenary Group, who would cooperate with a fish on a chopping board?
But after waiting for a long time, no news came, which made them have a bad feeling.
On the other side, at Baizhan Pass, no one would have thought that the four major forces alliance, which was at a disadvantage, would dare to attack Baizhan Pass in the rear. The defense forces there were not many, and with the news that had been released earlier, another batch of people had been transferred to the front-line military camp.
At this moment, Ariel and the others arrived and unleashed their full power, easily capturing the city gate and killing two peak-level Glory cultivators, eight Glory cultivators, and countless Glory-level cultivators.
Su Qing took advantage of their fight to loot all the city's resources and wealth.
The news of the fall of Baizhan Pass could not be kept secret and reached the four generals of the front-line army camp near dawn.
The four men were furious: "Bastard! How dare he!"
