After finding Pang Hongbo and Xu Zeda, Lin Xiuyuan led them straight out of the city and back to the Zishan Herb Garden.
Throughout the journey, Lin Xiuyuan remained silent, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.
A preliminary cooperation agreement has been reached, but there are still many aspects to consider.
Overall, however, this cooperation is extremely beneficial to the Cloud Soaring Sect.
"With the support of resources, we don't need to worry about this issue for the time being. If we can gain an advantage in the east, we can maintain our position and continue to expand our influence!"
"As for whether it will provoke a counterattack from the demonic forces, there's no need to worry for now. With the Nine Kingdoms Alliance behind us, the demonic forces shouldn't be able to suppress us. If the Nine Kingdoms Alliance proves unreliable, they can simply turn against us..."
"We should ask the people in Dai Viet about this matter and give them a heads-up, so as to avoid getting too involved in the bigger picture. If the situation turns bad, they can provide assistance at a critical moment."
After considering this, Lin Xiuyuan finally decided to cooperate with them.
After thinking it over again, I felt that there shouldn't be any problems in the early stages.
As for what happens next, that depends on how the situation develops.
Upon returning to the Zishan Herb Garden, Lin Xiuyuan immediately sent a message to Zhong Kangshun, instructing him to halt the fighting there and bring back most of his troops to formulate a plan.
They execute very quickly.
Almost that same day, Zhong Kangshun led two-thirds of the army back.
After meeting with Lin Xiuyuan and learning that the plan had changed, he gathered everyone to discuss the specific steps and plans, and communicated remotely with He Chengji to understand the details of the battle in the east.
Compared to the situation in Tingfeng Forest, the battle in the east is progressing more smoothly.
Because the Nine Kingdoms Alliance could easily provide support to Tingfeng Forest.
In the east, a region behind the demonic forces was occupied by the forces of the Yan Kingdom, making it difficult to provide support.
Although the Ghost Spirit Sect and the Joyful Union Sect have the most subordinate forces, it doesn't mean that these two top forces have many disciples.
Therefore, compared to the stalemate in Tingfeng Forest to the west, the battle in the east was progressing more smoothly.
Ge Yun led his army in a surprise attack, quickly breaching the enemy's border defenses and catching the demonic forces off guard.
They have pressed forward step by step, firmly occupying two resource-rich areas, and are now launching a full-scale offensive based on these positions.
However, this is precisely the advantage of a surprise attack, resulting in a smooth start.
Now the enemy has recovered and has gathered its forces to fight back.
The battle is expected to enter a stalemate or a deadlock.
It would be quite difficult for a large army to conquer this area, and it would most likely lead to a stalemate.
Furthermore, if the enemy has reinforcements from their main sect, they might even be at a disadvantage.
Recently, it seems that the other side has also received some reinforcements from the upper sect, but not many, not enough to launch a counterattack.
However, this has no impact on the Yunxiao Sect's strategic policy; it mainly involves competing for resource-rich areas and collecting resources.
Now that we've successfully occupied two locations, we should try to occupy as many as possible; it's always a win-win situation.
Depending on the situation, a large army can be dispatched at any time to maintain an advantage and expand territory.
The purpose of splitting the troops into two routes is to see which area is easier to attack and then combine forces to capture it.
Therefore, the plan proposed by Zhu Yuanqing coincided with the strategic arrangements of the Yunxiao Sect, which is why Lin Xiuyuan agreed to it after a moment's thought.
When Ge Yun learned of this news, he was not surprised, but he was still somewhat astonished.
"Hey, why have half of He Chengji's troops been mobilized? This is quite different from the original plan?"
After sending several messages and communicating remotely with Zhong Kangshun, Ge Yun learned of this news and couldn't help but mutter to himself in confusion, "Could something have changed? It feels like a desperate gamble. How strange!"
Ge Yun didn't think too much about it; he figured the outcome would be clear once Zhong Kangshun and the others arrived.
After learning that the main attack would be directed at their side.
Ge Yun then recalled his army to hold the two resource locations, avoiding wasting manpower and resources, and waiting for the main force to arrive before launching an attack.
...
at the same time.
After resting for a while, Lin Xiuyuan planned to take advantage of Zhong Kangshun and the others making strategic plans to make a trip to the Flame Crystal Secret Realm first.
That was the stronghold of the local forces in Dai Viet.
Local forces, primarily the Jade Cauldron Pill Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect, are stationed in this region.
