"A person with divine status?"
Everyone present was stunned when they heard this requirement. What kind of heaven-defying requirement was this? Just to be able to lie low, one needed to possess a godhood, which would undoubtedly eliminate 99% of the strong.
"You don't need to worry about this; I already have a plan."
Jiang Yuan tapped the compass and said, "What you need to do now is to provoke a war, but remember to be careful not to put too much pressure on the Water Cube!"
"Brother Yuan, why is that? You're clearly going to fight, why hold back? Wouldn't it be better to go all out?" Tang Yingjun didn't understand Jiang Yuan's meaning.
Besides Tang Yingjun, several other people present also expressed their confusion.
Seemingly anticipating some questions, Jiang Yuan explained, "The Starry Sky Sea Formation is designed to counter the Nine Provinces of China. It consists of twenty-eight Water Cubes, collectively known as the Nine Fields on Water, each corresponding to one of the twenty-eight constellations in the universe, and they are closely connected to each other."
“Take Zhongzhou as an example. The three water cubes in Zhongzhou correspond to the three constellations of Juntian—Jiao, Kang, and Di. No matter which one is attacked, the other two constellations will react within an incense stick's time, and within an hour, the entire Nine Fields will launch a Starry Sky Sea Formation to provide support.”
"Imagine, do we have the power to solve the Water Cube within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn? Or, to solve three Water Cubes within an hour?"
Jiang Yuan raised two very practical questions: The reason why the sea race was able to take down several major human races in a very short period of time was simply because of its powerful star sea formation.
Seeing that the crowd's morale was somewhat low, Jiang Yuan smiled indifferently and said, "Therefore, if we are going to fight, we cannot be reckless!"
"Our first strategy is to besiege the enemy and attack their reinforcements. We will surround the Kang constellation and wait for the sea tribes from the Jiao and Di constellations to provide support. Then we will turn around and attack the people coming from the two Water Cubes to weaken the overall strength of the three parties as much as possible, in order to prepare for the destruction of the Kang constellation."
"Secondly, I need a team of array masters! The sea race has the Starry Sea Array, so our human race cannot be at a disadvantage."
"Finally, and most importantly, after three days of marching, the various forces from Zhongzhou have almost fully integrated. Therefore, I hope that everyone will cooperate sincerely and become people who can entrust their lives to each other!"
Jiang Yuan knew what was most needed on the battlefield throughout history: a strong individual who could unite ten thousand people. If he couldn't cultivate a strong individual who could withstand ten thousand enemy troops, then he would cultivate an army with ten thousand people united as one.
"You can rest assured about that. Since we have chosen to leave the city, we are prepared to die on the battlefield." Taihaotian had great confidence in the troops he led. These were all descendants of Fuxi who had faith, and each of them was willing to risk their lives to follow the path of their ancestor.
"That's good. I don't want to see our team split up because of distrust. If we lose, then the entire Central Continent will be devoid of life force!"
Jiang Yuan subtly reminded everyone that those gathered here were the most renowned young generation in Zhongzhou, representing the pinnacle of Zhongzhou's combat power.
When will the plan begin?
Everyone was eager to fight. They had been waiting for this counterattack for too long, and their anger had been building up for too long. They desperately needed a good, cathartic release.
"These are the strongholds around the Kangsu Water Cube. Don't miss a single one. Once assembled, give the order to use the bugle. Within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, I want these strongholds to be stained with blood!"
After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, he repeated himself, saying, "Do you understand? There is only the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. When the time is up, everyone retreat."
They only have the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, because within that time, all three Water Cubes in the Central Plains will gather to launch a counterattack. Their strategy is to wear down the sea creatures, thus laying the groundwork for a final offensive.
"One incense stick's time is too short."
Some people say it's difficult, but that's to be expected, because for a true powerhouse, their trump card is enough to hold off a sizable army.
"You need to get used to this style of fighting, because there will be many more blitzkriegs like this in the coming period of time." Jiang Yuan smiled faintly, appearing calm and confident.
The story of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" will be repeated when faced with the invading sea creatures.
“This is an important battle in the human race’s counterattack. Shouldn’t we give this battle a name?” An Xiaoyu said.
"Jun Tian!"
...
At this moment, a storm is brewing in Zhongzhou.
With Ancheng closed off and the human race in hiding, the three stars of the Central Plains Juntian Water Cube had no idea what the human race wanted to do; they could only wait.
Unbeknownst to them, human armies were constantly approaching the dozens of strongholds that were being defended in the Central Plains.
In the military camp, few men remained. They had already planned and assigned which strongholds to attack, so they had headed to the ambush sites.
"Brother Yuan, let me lead the Xuanwu Legion to the third stronghold. The sea creatures there are very strong, and I'm afraid the Qin family won't be able to handle them!"
Tang Yingjun was getting restless as the number of personnel kept decreasing. He was, after all, the second-highest general in the oath, how could he sit on the sidelines?
"You stay, I have other plans!"
Jiang Yuan didn't let Tang Yingjun act, but instead directed the little dumpling behind him, saying, "Little dumpling, you and Youhuang lead the beastmen to attack the second stronghold, and if appropriate, go to the third stronghold to cover the Qin family and the others' retreat."
"Understood." The little dumpling said with fighting spirit. In the war, his True Martial Battle Body and Ten Thousand Beasts Bloodline awakened more quickly, and he craved a stronger battle.
"Remember, the results of the first battle can be small, but the personnel losses cannot be too great," Jiang Yuan instructed.
The little dumpling nodded, then led the group away.
"Brother Yuan, no way, you let Xiao Tuanzi take the Xuanwu Legion away, what about me?" Tang Yingjun asked worriedly.
