Chapter 639: Dividing the Army into Three Routes
"Don't worry about how far it is, we'll be there soon."
Ning Qi looked ahead and pointed in the direction of the wormhole.
This place is many times larger than any wormhole entrance he's visited before.
Moreover, there are countless entrances, clearly leading to different areas.
"Master, if they were to send some troops, it would be very fast."
"With so many holes, even if the news spreads to the far north and south, it will be over in the blink of an eye."
"No wonder, they're everywhere. I think they're good at creating wormholes."
Yao Ling also looked at the wormhole in front of her and couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, you're right."
"They most likely used wormholes to teleport."
"Moreover, their wormhole barriers are stronger than ours."
"In other words, even within his treacherous Boundary Sea, he can protect everyone inside."
Ning Qi said in deep agreement.
"Master, wouldn't it be much better if we also mastered this ability?"
"Where you want to go, just open a wormhole."
Yao Ling said enviously.
"This is difficult and must require a lot of resources, especially in terms of human capabilities."
"I'm afraid that to open such a powerful wormhole, one must be at least at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm."
Ning Qi then offered his analysis.
While they were analyzing the situation, they unknowingly arrived at the entrance of a cave.
Is this it?
Zhao Zhirou looked ahead, then turned and asked.
"Yes, the compass shows this is the place."
Zhao Tianlei nodded, then waved his hand: "Give the order, the whole team move out!"
"Yes!"
"..."
After he said that, the crowd behind him responded in unison.
Their team then began heading towards the wormhole.
"Zhao Tianlei, where are you going?"
Seeing that they were heading this way, Xu Xiaoran couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Can't you see it?"
Zhao Tianlei said irritably.
"I can see that; this is the area leading to the border."
"It's usually a place that only low-class families go to."
"You went here because you forgot to give the commander a gift, didn't you?"
Xu Xiaoran looked at them and laughed mockingly.
"You fart!"
Zhao Zhirou couldn't hold back any longer and said directly, "Do you think we're all like you, hiding here in peace and quiet? If we're going to go out and train, we'll have to face real danger."
"Oh, was it voluntary, or were you forced?"
Upon hearing her words, Xu Xiaoran not only didn't get angry, but instead began to mock her.
"That's none of your business."
Zhao Tianlei glared at him and said irritably.
"I think this place is nice."
"We also plan to go here."
At this moment, Xu Shijie suddenly led his team over.
They were heading in the same direction as them, only to another cave entrance.
Clearly, they were also heading to this frontier region.
"You guys are crazy too."
Xu Xiaoran frowned as he watched them pass by.
Doubts began to creep into my mind.
If it were one side that went, that would be understandable.
But if both families are going, then something fishy is going on.
Could it be that some treasure is about to be born inside?
"Ignore him, let's go."
Xu Wanrou also brought her team over, and they later joined together.
"Brother Zhao, we're going in the same direction, so we might even be quite close."
Xu Shijie spoke to Zhao Tianlei from a distance on the deck.
"Those who go in this direction generally won't go far."
"If there's anything you need, just let me know."
Zhao Tianlei also said with a smile.
If we could find someone we know to be stationed in the same area with, we could have someone to help us.
"Okay, then we'll be going now."
Xu Shijie clasped his hands in a fist salute, then led his team away.
Although they are heading in the same direction, there are countless wormhole entrances here.
"Let's go too."
Zhao Tianlei waved his hand, and the team's speed suddenly increased.
Soon they arrived at the entrance to a wormhole.
"Whoosh!"
"..."
Their teams set off one after another, rushing forward in a mighty procession.
Ning Qi stood on the deck, looking at everything before him, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.
The wormhole before them was impenetrable, and their fleet could pass through it without causing any disturbance.
They continued to travel through the wormhole.
When they occasionally encountered a fork in the road, Zhao Tianlei would take out his compass and accurately find their way to continue their journey.
Bored, Ning Qi returned to his cabin to rest.
I don't know how much time passed, but someone came to knock on the door.
"Young Master Ning."
Zhao Zhirou's voice came from outside the door.
"Miss Zhao."
Ning Qi got up and went to the door.
We're almost there.
Zhao Zhirou said in a deep voice, "Let's go out and take a look."
"it is good."
Ning Qi didn't say anything, but agreed to leave with her from now on.
We arrived on the deck quickly.
There were already quite a few people waiting on the deck.
After Ning Qi walked over, he looked ahead.
This area consists of fragments of the continent, some of which are covered by mountains and rivers.
Some are covered by volcanic deserts.
Some are riddled with holes, while others have several pieces joined together.
They vary in size and height.
This creates a unique void environment.
"These are all things that drifted here after the inner world was destroyed."
Zhao Tianlei came over and said, "This is where we will be stationed."
"Is this the place? There's no boundary to be found."
How to defend?
Ning Qi looked around and couldn't help but ask.
"The only option is to station people in key locations."
"We need to scout ahead first and see where the other races are."
"Their borders are established there to avoid unnecessary conflict."
Zhao Tianlei sighed and then said, "However, let's go to the branch altar here first. There are still some troops available there."
"Okay, let's go. We'll talk about it when we get there. Maybe they'll know something."
Ning Qi nodded and then spoke.
"Brother, do you think those people know we're here?"
Zhao Zhirou suddenly asked.
Who are you referring to?
Zhao Tianlei asked.
"People of other races."
Zhao Zhirou explained.
"Yes, they definitely have spies. This place is so vast, it's impossible for us to have someone guarding every place."
Zhao Tianlei nodded and waved his hand: "Let's go, let's go to the branch altar and see what's going on."
"Yes!"
At his command, everyone responded in unison.
Their team set off again, speeding towards the branch altar.
After about an hour, they finally arrived at the branch altar.
Here, a team is already lined up, waiting for their arrival.
Clearly, they had been detected by these people from the moment they arrived.
"Welcome, General Zhao."
At this moment, two people stepped out from the line.
They were all burly and fierce-looking. After they stepped forward, the soldiers behind them also respectfully bowed to them.
These two people are the two commanders here.
Xu Dewang and Cao Xiong.
"Commander Xu, Commander Cao, no need to be so polite, let's go inside and talk."
Zhao Tianlei waved his hand and then walked forward.
Lu Wantian followed closely behind.
"Let's go."
Zhao Zhirou called out to Ning Qi and followed him.
Ning Qi hadn't originally planned to go, but since she invited him, he went along too.
They continued forward until they arrived at the mainland where their branch headquarters was located.
It's not a very big place; there's a huge square here, and many soldiers are here as well.
Further ahead is a large hall, much smaller than the main altar.
However, its momentum remained unchanged.
They continued forward until they soon arrived at the main hall.
Here, there are tables and chairs on both sides, clearly for the leaders to sit on.
Directly in front was a seat of honor, clearly intended for Zhao Tianlei.
After they entered, they found seats and sat down one after another.
Ning Qi and Zhao Zhirou sat down on the side as well.
"Commander Xu, tell us about the situation here."
After Zhao Tianlei sat down, he gently waved his hand, signaling them to speak.
"Yes!"
Xu Dewang agreed and then got up and went to the center.
Then, he took out a spirit stone and used demonic energy to activate it.
"call!"
After a gust of wind, a phantom map of territory appeared above him.
This map shows the territory of this area.
Many scenes from the fragmented continents can be displayed.
"This is what we have mapped into the memory stone over hundreds of years."
Xu Dewang began, "The entire territory here is included, including the territories of other families, so that we can better understand the situation here."
"Okay, please introduce yourself."
Zhao Tianlei nodded in satisfaction and let him introduce himself.
"First, there is the north, which is the territory of the Immortal Clan."
"Then to the east are the human race, and to the west are the demon race."
“Our boundary is all the places here where we plant our flags.”
Xu Dewang introduced them one by one: "Those with black flags are us, and those with red flags are the enemy."
"In the middle of us, there is a battle zone between the two sides, but there are no strongholds."
"Normally, when our teams go on patrol, they only patrol about a hundred miles ahead."
"If we go beyond this range, we might encounter the enemy."
"Well, it seems that we still have very clear boundaries."
After listening to his explanation, Zhao Tianlei nodded seriously.
"Yes, but when ruins appear frequently, everything will be ignored."
"Our manpower will also be significantly reduced at this time."
Xu Dewang continued, "Therefore, at this time, many families will be sent over."
"Oh, is it that strong?"
Zhao Tianlei frowned upon hearing this.
He had never been here before, but he had heard of it, and he had never heard of any family suffering such a tragic fate.
"Yes, you may have heard of it."
"But these are all unknown facts. The families that came later were all just there to die."
“Some small families without a background will naturally not be spread around.”
Xu Dewang knew what he was thinking and said in a deep voice.
"I see."
Zhao Tianlei nodded, then asked, "How long until the outbreak this time?"
"It should be in the next few days."
Xu Dewang answered seriously.
"Well, in that case, we need to split into three groups."
"We must guard against sneak attacks from the Immortal Clan, the Human Clan, and the Demon Clan."
Zhao Tianlei thought for a moment and looked at everyone: "Cao Xiong, you are responsible for cooperating with Lu Wantian in this operation."
"Let's go and defend against attacks from the humans."
"Yes!"
Cao Xiong and Lu Wantian stepped forward at the same time and respectfully accepted the order.
"Xu Dewang, you're in charge of the demon race side, is that alright?"
Zhao Tianlei then proceeded to make the arrangements.
"no problem."
Cao Xiong immediately agreed.
"In a few days, two more commanders will be arriving here, and I will arrange another one for you then."
"We will directly allocate an additional 50,000 troops to you."
Zhao Tianlei's expression turned solemn: "The rest of you will come with me to deal with the people from the Immortal Clan."
"Yes!"
"..."
Everyone agreed.
Each of them revealed a look of fearlessness.
After they all agreed, Zhao Tianlei showed a satisfied expression.
"General Zhao, we have also prepared a welcome banquet."
Seeing that he had already made up his mind, Xu Dewang quickly said so.
"No need, let's familiarize ourselves with the environment first."
"Send your men to lead the soldiers to check out the territory first."
"As for the welcome banquet, we'll just turn it into a victory celebration banquet."
"When we leave, we'll definitely have a big drink."
Zhao Tianlei waved his hand, showing no intention of celebrating with them.
"Yes."
Xu Dewang respectfully accepted the order, his expression solemn.
Clearly, people who came here in the past would accept their victory celebration banquet.
But when they arrived, the Zhao family surprisingly didn't offer a welcoming banquet.
It gave him a glimmer of hope.
If they succeed this time, they will also have the opportunity to leave.
So, who comes to garrison here next time is none of their business.
"You all make the arrangements. We'll set off in half an incense stick's time!"
"If we're going to work together, let's get to know each other first!"
Zhao Tianlei called out to the crowd, then beckoned to Xu Dewang: "Find me a few people who are familiar with this place, we'll go and check out the situation."
"Zhao Tianli, Liu Wannian."
"come over."
Upon hearing this, Xu Dewang waved to someone in the distance.
"exist!"
Two people immediately stepped forward respectfully.
"You will lead the way for General Zhao and explain the situation regarding the Immortal Clan's defense of the territory."
Xu Dewang solemnly instructed, "We must clearly explain all the local drawbacks to prevent General Zhao from being tricked."
"Yes!"
Both of them agreed at the same time, and their faces both showed a serious expression.
"General Zhao, I will make the arrangements as well."
"If there are any problems, we will contact you by voice."
After making the arrangements, Xu Dewang clasped his hands in a fist salute and said.
"Alright, Commander Xu, go ahead with peace of mind."
"If you encounter any problems, please feel free to contact me!"
Zhao Tianlei also clasped his hands in a fist salute and followed up with his words.
"Yes!"
After Xu Dewang agreed, he led his troops away.
"General Zhao, then we'll go too."
At this moment, Cao Xiong also arrived and respectfully followed suit.
"Okay, be extra careful!"
Zhao Tianlei nodded and waved to Lu Wantian: "You must cooperate well and don't make any mistakes!"
"Yes."
Lu Wantian accepted the order and then left with them.
"Commander Lei, are you coming with me to deal with the Immortal Clan, or..."
Zhao Tianlei came over to Ning Qi and greeted him.
"Let's go to the Immortal Clan's side."
Ning Qi had made his choice long ago.
Of course, he would deal with the immortals who had grudges against him. (End of Chapter)
