Chapter 138: Hidden Conspiracy, Commander Ding is Shocked
As for the battle intelligence from the outside world, they only paid attention to the news of the cultivation brigade to which Commander Ding belonged. After all, apart from the powerful team of cultivators led by Commander Ding, the other scattered branches of cultivation, although they still had independent legions of cultivators holding on, were no longer able to turn the tide. Only by completely destroying the cultivation power under Commander Ding, would this independent legion be wiped out in the control of the cultivators of the day.
"Well, well done."
Captain Asanjing nodded slightly. Although the tenacious resistance of the independent army was far beyond the imagination of the Japanese practitioners, the situation on the battlefield was still under the control of the Japanese practitioners under his command! He firmly believed that as long as their monks made more efforts, the independent army on the Eight Desolate Continent would eventually become a thing of the past.
Captain Abarai was quite satisfied with this and looked relaxed.
At this moment, on the first battlefield of the independent legion.
Commander Ding, with only two hundred remaining monks, was still struggling to resist the siege of more than seven hundred elite Japanese cultivators. After experiencing countless sieges by Japanese cultivators, even Commander Ding, one of the three giants in northwest Shanxi, felt unprecedented pressure at this moment.
His face was covered in dirt, and there were mottled bloodstains on his forehead. He looked extremely tired. In the trench, he turned his head and looked at the guards beside him, "Is there any news from the headquarters to help my independent army?"
Previously, Commander Ding had ordered his personal guards to convey to the commander that the independent corps he led could no longer withstand the continuous attacks of the Japanese practitioners. After the commander learned of this, he realized that the independent corps led by Commander Ding was in a dilemma of being heavily besieged by Japanese practitioners.
The guard replied: "Commander, we haven't found any signs of reinforcements yet..."
Upon hearing this, Commander Ding could not help but curse angrily: "Waste! Is our independent army really going to face a life-or-death situation?"
Now, he only had more than 200 monks left, but he had to defend his position under the pressure of more than 700 elite Japanese cultivators. The battle mission assigned to the independent corps by the commander only lasted for 12 hours. However, looking at the situation in front of him, Commander Ding saw no hope that they could hold out for 12 hours under the fierce fire of the Japanese cultivators.
Not long ago, after their independent legion had just sent out a distress signal, their communication magic weapon and communication magician were all destroyed by the Japanese practitioners. Therefore, they did not know which monk team the commander had dispatched to rescue them.
If the commander had sent reinforcements to support their independent legion, they could still delay the offensive of the day practitioners for some time; however, if the commander failed to send reinforcements in time, I am afraid that the entire independent legion would be wiped out in this war!
Although Ding Yuan's face showed indignation at this moment, there was no trace of despair in his pupils.
This was not because he had the strength to lead his troops to break out of the siege of more than 700 elite demons. In fact, as early as when the war started, he had already concealed his deep plan and was determined to lead this regiment and a large group of demons into the abyss!
In other words, as early as the beginning of the war, Ding Yuan had secretly buried a large number of spiritual explosive talismans in a desperate area outside the Lone Wolf Group!
If Ding Yuan is ultimately unable to wait for the arrival of reinforcements sent by the sect elders, then he will have no choice but to activate his last trump card and lead these 700+ elite demons into the death trap he has set in advance!
"At worst, we will perish together!"
A fierce light flashed across Ding Yuan's eyes. He had already made up his mind that even if all members of the Lone Wolf Group died, he would drag this group of demons down with them.
In short, at all costs, we must not allow these demons to cross the Lone Wolf Group’s stronghold and go deep into the heart of the secret territory in northwest Shanxi to track and detect the whereabouts of the main force of their Eight Desolate Army!
After all, it holds the key spark for the future revival of the Eight Desolations Army.
"Captain, things are not going well. Those demons seem to be launching a fierce attack on our Lone Wolf Group again!"
At this moment, a disciple of the Lone Wolf Group came running in from a distance, paused, stood beside Ding Yuan, and told him the news anxiously.
"How many troops does the enemy have this time?!"
Ding Yuan remained calm and asked in a deep voice.
It turned out that before this, whenever these seven hundred or so demons launched a fierce attack on the main force of the Lone Wolf Group, they would first send out five hundred demon vanguards, and then let the two hundred troops behind the five hundred demons take a short rest!
In this way, between every three waves of offensive by the demons against the main force of the Lone Wolf Group, each demon soldier will have one more chance to recuperate and adjust!
Obviously, the elders of the demon army that attacked the Lone Wolf Group were quite afraid of the strength of the local general Ding Yuan.
Therefore, they chose the most stable strategy when attacking the Lone Wolf Group - to wait for the enemy to tire themselves out, take their time, and gradually wear down the Lone Wolf Group's strength.
When all the troops of the Lone Wolf Regiment are exhausted by the demons and suffer heavy casualties, those demons who have been gathering strength for a long time will naturally launch the final general offensive!
Ding Yuan naturally understood the demon clan's plan, but he could do nothing about it.
The order he received was to hold the Lone Wolf Group's stronghold for forty-eight hours.
Since the demons are willing to stalemate with him, Ding Yuan is happy to delay time with them.
Originally, Ding Yuan believed that it would take some time for these demons to launch their final attack on the main force of the Lone Wolf Group.
However, what he did not expect was that just as he finished speaking, the Lone Wolf disciple who came to report the battle situation reported with a serious face:
"Report to the captain, this time, the demons have come out in full force and are launching a full-scale attack on the main force of our Lone Wolf Regiment!"
Hearing this, Ding Yuan was dumbfounded.
Are these evil Japanese pirates really preparing to launch a full-scale invasion of our Lingxiao Sect branch? !
To be honest, Ding Wei was not at all surprised that these evil Japanese pirates dared to make such a decision.
He just never expected that the Lingxiao Sect branch he led would eventually fight the final battle with this group of evil Japanese pirates.
Ding Wei took a deep breath, and a firm and resolute light flashed in his eyes.
Seeing that the final battle between the monks of their own branch and the evil Japanese pirates who surrounded the Lingxiao Sect branch was about to begin, at this moment, the reinforcements promised by the headquarters had not yet arrived...
It seems that Ding Wei has no choice but to take the last step and vow to perish together with the evil Japanese pirates!
"Pass the order down, order..." Ding Wei started to speak, but he hadn't finished his words.
Right now.
Just as Ding Wei was about to give the order, another disciple from the Lingxiao Sect hurried over to deliver the message.
The disciple reported: "Reporting to the sect leader, when the evil Japanese pirates were about to launch a general attack on our army, the enemy camp seemed to have encountered some kind of change for some reason. Now their army has fallen into extreme chaos, as if they have pressed the pause button on the general attack on our army!"
Ding Wei was about to give an order, but when he heard his disciple's report, he was stunned.
"Have the evil Japanese pirates stopped their attack?" Ding Wei was stunned.
However, after receiving his disciple's affirmative answer, Ding Wei still found it unbelievable.
Aren’t those evil Japanese pirates planning to launch a final charge against them?
Why did you stop suddenly?
Originally, Ding Wei wanted to lure these evil Japanese pirates into the deep of Yangcun stronghold to let them experience the strength of Lingxiao Sect.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, he learned that the evil Japanese pirates' attack had come to an abrupt halt.
"Have you found out what happened to the evil Japanese pirates?!"
Ding Wei asked.
His face was full of confusion.
Totally confused.
He had no idea why these evil Japanese pirates would pause their offensive against the Lingxiao Sect's branch army.
However, he was destined not to know the reason.
Because in the face of the powerful offensive of the evil Japanese pirates, the scope of intelligence that the Lingxiao Sect branch can conduct reconnaissance has been reduced to the extreme.
