"Slicing Shadow, what is your reasoning?" This answer clearly caught Human Emperor off guard.
"First, the entire Army is unaware of how Human Emperor has fared after this retreat."
"Oh?" Human Emperor frowned. With his pride, how could he tolerate anyone doubting his strength, especially from a subordinate? At this moment, if Slicing Shadow were to respond improperly, blood might spill! "So you mean to say that you do not even believe in me?"
"No, who would dare doubt Human Emperor's strength, especially after such a retreat? However, as the art of war states, knowing oneself and knowing the enemy ensures victory in a hundred battles. If we are unclear about Your Majesty's strength, how can we know when to advance or retreat, or whether Human Emperor is luring the enemy in or truly needs assistance?"
At this point, Human Emperor's expression softened: "You have thought this through. Remember one thing! Under no circumstances should you attempt to rescue me!"
A powerful aura emanated from him, the essence of Spiritual Essence solidifying into something tangible. The pressure faced by the entire Blood Cloud Army was several times greater than before, posing a real threat to them.
Everyone couldn't help but feel both astonished and delighted.
Although they had previously estimated Human Emperor's strength as high as possible, they still did not expect him to be this formidable.
"I have no more doubts." Slicing Shadow lowered his head, not daring to meet his gaze directly. "In that case, I propose we launch a counterattack on Dragon City and seek Your Majesty's permission!"
"Oh? Dragon City?"
Another human general, Evil Sword, scoffed: "This plan is absolutely unfeasible! Our priority should be reclaiming the Gateway to the Abyss between us and the divine realm. The future of the world depends on the divine realm! Moreover, disregarding the defenses at Dragon City for now, the Four Sea Dragon Kings and most of the Jiao Dragon Clan experts are at sea. Our fleet is nearly decimated; forcing a counterattack may not be the best strategy!"
"Superficial! You completely fail to understand our advantage!" Surprisingly, Breaking Cloud Sail supported Slicing Shadow's opinion.
"What!"
"Our greatest advantage right now is that the forces of Dragon City are completely unaware that Your Majesty has emerged from seclusion. This is an excellent opportunity for us to catch them off guard. Imagine if you were one of the Four Sea Dragon Kings. How would you react to our full-scale counterattack?"
"They would probably think we are seeking death? Or that we've been provoked into losing control of our emotions?"
"Heh heh, precisely! That is exactly the reaction we hope for!"
"Good!" Human Emperor nodded approvingly. "Let’s proceed with Slicing Shadow's plan. During this time, Breaking Cloud Sail, take the Blood Cloud Army to make an appearance in the Extreme Cold Domain. This will further mislead those in Dragon City and benefit our plans."
"But we have always guarded Your Majesty's side. This will be our first battle after Your Majesty's emergence..."
"No need to say more, I have already made my decision. Even without Slicing Shadow and the others, most of Dragon City has gathered in the Divine Realm. With their strength, even if I go alone, they won't be able to stop me!"
Boom!
A bolt of lightning struck down.
Beneath the sky, a battle more intense than the lightning was unfolding.
"That detestable Human Emperor lackey, truly impossible to kill!" The usually cold face of the North Sea Dragon King showed signs of anger. He knew that things were progressing well on the Dragon City side, although the betrayal of the Game God Sect had severely impacted their ally Xuanmen. Now they had to mobilize all their forces in the Divine Realm to counterattack against the Game God Sect and the Demon Clan.
Thus, the heavy responsibility of applying pressure on the Human Emperor forces fell solely on their shoulders.
The Four Sea Dragon Kings certainly would not relax and let those younger generations steal their thunder. Moreover, now that Primordial Energy had enveloped all of Four Seas, they could absorb power smoothly and their offensive became even more fierce.
Little did they know that these people were so ungrateful!
If they had held their ground on the shore, the Jiao Dragon Clan would have needed time to familiarize themselves with the environment, allowing them to hold out much longer. But now they had gathered all remaining fleets to launch a counterattack against Dragon City!
Wasn't this seeking death?
Although the human forces were vast, first they collected all Extraordinary Treasure for the Human Emperor's Thirty-Six Heavens Palace Golden Threshold, and then, following Yang Fuhai's death, the war machines were reclaimed by Wang Long. Coupled with several recent defeats, even the strongest forces could not withstand it.
As long as they could annihilate this expeditionary force once again, in the short term, they would definitely lack the strength to regroup and counterattack Dragon City!
"Big Brother, news from the Extreme Cold Domain indicates that they have been strongly blocked by the Blood Cloud Army and can no longer advance southward to coordinate with our offensive." The West Sea Dragon King hurried over, bringing news just received from Dragon City.
"Oh? So it means that there will definitely be no more appearances of the Blood Cloud Army here?" Even among all the armies under the Human Emperor, even though the Jiao Dragon Clan felt confident of victory, they had to admit that the Blood Cloud Army was indeed a formidable enemy!
"Exactly. Ha! I really don't know where that Slicing Shadow gets its confidence to dare provoke us! The reason we didn't deal with him before is that he hadn't encountered our elite Army. Now that our main force is fully assembled here, let's see how he escapes!"
The East Sea Dragon King, stroking his long whiskers, his eyes flashed with fierce light: "Good! Then let everyone prepare! Surround them from all directions; in this battle, we must not only win but ensure they can't return! Move out!"
On the battlefield, following the command of the East Sea Dragon King, the Jiao Dragon Clan, which was previously blocking the Human Emperor's Army, began to retreat step by step. Although they didn't kill many of their forces, it still greatly boosted the morale of the Human Warriors.
On one inconspicuous warship, several figures stood calmly.
"It seems they really are underestimating our strength, just as we thought. Heh, now they want to lure us in for an encirclement!"
Slicing Shadow sneered twice, "They have such audacity! But that's fine; this time they want to encircle us, which will force their forces to spread even thinner. Heh, we will definitely give them a surprise then!"
Human Emperor nodded, "I agree with Slicing Shadow's analysis. This battle will be under your command; let's see your true strength!"
Slicing Shadow was overjoyed; this further indicated that Human Emperor recognized him. Just imagine if he could achieve great feats in this battle; it would surely be enough to overshadow the other Human Emperor generals and become someone above all others!
"Yes! All troops advance together, let our actions tell those Jiao Dragon Clan that we have lost our reason, allowing them to proceed with their plans without worry!"
The enemies blocking the front had already begun to scatter, but with their strength, they could still hold the line firmly, making the Jiao Dragon Clan even prouder and dismissive of the human race.
Boom!
A wave surged into the sky, almost breaking through the endless thunderclouds. Not to mention the warships on the sea, one was directly split in two by this wave, tossing all the warriors aboard into the water. The surrounding large ships couldn't withstand its power and were completely overturned!
Countless warriors fell into the water with cries of despair, while the human experts on other ships were unable to provide any support. This sense of helplessness deepened the Jiao Dragon Clan's contempt.
