"Boss, the beastmen have started to show their faces, but I'm afraid they'll be completely annihilated by the enemy. I've ordered them to keep their distance from the alien races at all times!"
Jiang Yuan has already settled down in the base in the Ten Thousand Mountains, and at this moment, the True Martial Beast is reporting the situation below.
"The Death Knights did the same; they launched one charge against the Zerg and then retreated."
Jiang Jun and the tomb maiden were both standing below.
"good!"
Jiang Yuan nodded and said, "The alien races are the ones who are anxious now. We just need to attract their attention, and they will come to us on their own."
He knew how tempting the exclusive divine position reward for killing him was. Those alien races must have been searching for him all over the world. Now that there were signs of him, they would definitely be eager to make a move. So all they had to do was wait in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
Tianfu's persuasion was effective. He originally planned to use China to fight this war and spread the crisis, but Tianfu not only had the highest commander of the Civil Law Government persuade him, but also allocated a group of Faith Army soldiers to him. He certainly could not transfer the crisis to the whole of China.
After all, if the alien race attacks Lizhou, the result will inevitably be devastation and death. The first to suffer in war will definitely be the civilians. He is not so cold-blooded as to ignore the safety of the civilians.
“But boss, our total strength is only about 500,000, while the number of alien races is at least tens of millions. It’s hard to close this gap using terrain and tactics.” The True Martial Beast has lived in the Hundred Thousand Mountains for many years, so it naturally knows that the terrain of the Hundred Thousand Mountains is most suitable for guerrilla warfare, but guerrilla warfare is not an option when there is an overwhelming number of troops.
After all, Spirit Awakeners are not ordinary people, and terrain limitations are limited.
"That's why we have to fight and retreat at the same time. Although the alien races are coming on strong, don't forget that they are not a monolithic group. Their current alliances are only driven by their own interests. Once the battle lines are stretched out, without a war to alleviate internal conflicts, they will soon encounter all sorts of problems," Jiang Yuan said.
This is the drawback of the alliance. It is the only condition for the alliance to unite. Once this condition cannot be met or no results can be seen in a short time, the alliance will definitely have disagreements and thus dissolve. This is the best opportunity for them to launch a counterattack.
He currently has two options: first, stall until the God of Slaughter mission ends; second, fight until the enemy is terrified and no one dares to mess with him.
Delaying is easy, but the alien races' approach is equally simple and brutal: since they won't show themselves, they'll shift the focus to China, forcing them to reveal themselves. However, there's a vast disparity in strength in direct combat; a head-on clash would inevitably result in defeat.
Jiang Yuan also made a decision: to stall in the early stages, harass the enemy while retreating, and continuously cultivate strong warriors, until they retreated to the depths of the Ten Thousand Mountains, at which point he would launch a counterattack and enter the second path—a fight to the death.
"Master, let's assemble an army of the undead!" the tomb maiden suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan fell into deep thought. He had considered the words of the Tomb Maiden, but the most important thing in maintaining the undead army was the Mark of the Dead. He had used up almost all of the Mark of the Dead by learning an Immortal talent last time. Even though he had been constantly using the Sense of Death to gather the Mark of the Dead, the number was only a few million, which was not enough to maintain an undead army.
Moreover, once he uses the undead army, he will confirm his identity, and in the future he will truly become a death god that the world fears. Aliens, battlefields, and even the heavens will all regard him as an enemy.
“Master, I know your concerns, but the undead army is your true subordinate, and they are servants who will never betray you,” the tomb maiden explained.
"Let's think about these things later. There's no need for them now." Jiang Yuan shook his head and refused the tomb maiden's offer. He only wanted to accumulate more marks of the dead to revive the people of Nancheng and had no intention of cultivating an army of the undead.
However, the Tomb Maiden did not want Jiang Yuan to give up, so she immediately suggested, "Master, in fact, in certain environments, only a small amount of the mark of the dead is needed for you to control an army of the undead."
"Really?" Jiang Yuan had no idea about this.
The Tomb Woman nodded repeatedly and said, "Do you remember the cemetery where I was originally? If a similar environment can preserve most of the souls of the dead, then there is actually not much need for the mark of the dead."
"There's no time to find such a place now." Jiang Yuan accepted the tomb maiden's kindness, but now that the war had begun, he couldn't leave to find such a place.
“How could it be too late? There’s a secret realm in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, filled with a large number of undead creatures,” the tomb maiden said hurriedly.
"A secret realm?"
Jiang Yuan frowned. He didn't know much about the Ten Thousand Mountains and had only been there a very limited number of times. Given the unique environment of the Ten Thousand Mountains, he really didn't know what secret realms were hidden there.
"The Fall of Darkness, one of the ten secret realms of the Holy Spirit Battlefield."
When the Tomb Maiden uttered the words "Darkness's Fall," the name of a secret realm immediately came to Jiang Yuan's mind: Eternal Night of Radiance. This was a secret realm he had entered before, and because of his high completion rate, he had even obtained an Eternal Night Badge, which represented the ability to enter the divine secret realm.
"A divine realm?"
Jiang Yuan said subconsciously that it had been so long that he had forgotten he still had an Eternal Night Badge.
"That's right, this is the most famous divine realm on the battlefield, but you need a corresponding badge to enter." The Tomb Maiden had been thinking about her master's future during this time, and Dark Fall was her greatest achievement.
Jiang Yuan recalled the USB drive data that Ning Yanlan had given him years ago. Because Ning Yanlan's identity was false, the data on the USB drive was very likely fabricated by her. However, nothing can be fabricated out of thin air. To ensure the greatest possible authenticity, perhaps the USB drive Ning Yanlan gave him contained a mixture of truth and falsehood.
