"That should do it!"
After sparring with Chilian, Ye Liuyun confirmed that he could handle attacks from various bloodline powers before daring to seek out Jiang Yuntian.
This time, he brought along his second clone and the women as well.
During his cultivation of the Hundred Refinements Divine Blood technique, their sweep of the bandits in the Duqiao Galaxy was essentially complete. Staying here any longer would leave the women without any targets to practice on, so he might as well bring them along to Jiang Yuntian’s battlefield to look for opportunities.
Similarly, when he teleported over this time, he adjusted the coordinates to be far from Jiang Yuntian’s main army, preventing Jiang Yuntian from remaining stationary in one place.
Traveling through the starry sky allowed him to use his divine sense to scout from afar, detecting in advance the sentries Jiang Yuntian had arranged in space.
As expected, there were numerous hidden sentries near the coordinates Jiang Yunmo had given Ye Liuyun. After teleporting over, Ye Liuyun discovered their traces from a distance using his Golden Pupils.
There were also many sentries around the perimeter of Jiang Yuntian’s army encampment, making it extremely difficult for Ye Liuyun to scout the situation of Jiang Yuntian’s forces. If not for his Golden Pupils allowing him to see Jiang Yuntian’s garrison from a distance, he would have had trouble even determining Jiang Yuntian’s exact troop strength.
What shocked him even more was that Jiang Yuntian’s army encampment contained far more than just his single force. From what Ye Liuyun could detect, there were at least five separate armies of one hundred thousand imperial troops each.
Among them, two army commanders were also young men, likely offspring of some important figures in the dynasty who were also gaining military experience. Ye Liuyun estimated that the commanders of the other two armies were normal commanders of hundred-thousand-level armies.
Jiang Yuntian’s army had also been replenished to one hundred thousand soldiers, but was clearly somewhat weaker in strength. Roughly sixty percent were mid-stage Guiyi realm soldiers, with another thirty percent being early-stage Guiyi realm soldiers.
Ye Liuyun estimated that these soldiers were newly supplemented, as Jiang Yuntian’s deputy commander still frequently led them in battle formation drills.
Jiang Yuntian also spent each day cultivating in his main tent, with a thousand-man guard unit around him, all at the ninth level of Guiyi realm. However, there were soldiers ranging from early to late stage, making their strength appear not particularly strong.
His remaining soldiers were basically at the seventh and eighth levels of Guiyi realm. It seemed that Ye Liuyun’s previous direct seizure of fifty thousand elite soldiers had indeed cost Jiang Yuntian dearly, and he still hadn’t managed to replenish his losses.
Ye Liuyun found this normal—after all, ninth-level Guiyi realm experts weren’t so easily cultivated.
The other armies each had roughly five to six thousand ninth-level Guiyi realm experts, which wasn’t a small number either. Moreover, their soldiers’ overall strength was a full tier higher than Jiang Yuntian’s army. Early-stage Guiyi realm soldiers made up ten percent, mid-stage soldiers fifty percent, and the remainder were late-stage soldiers.
Furthermore, their armies were surrounded by six hundred thousand surrendered troops, guarding these imperial forces within. With this kind of strength and arrangement, their position was virtually impregnable—without considerable strength, one truly couldn’t be their match.
"The military strength here at Jiang Yuntian’s position is actually this formidable!"
Ye Liuyun was greatly surprised, estimating that Fire Seal King Jiang Yuantang must value this crown prince highly.
After some thought, he realized this was a rare opportunity for training. Especially with someone as shrewd as Jiang Yuntian, whose command abilities wouldn’t be weak, he was perfect for giving his troops combat experience.
However, the five thousand elite soldiers and demon beasts in his hands were somewhat insufficient. So he first went to retrieve Xiao Heng’s legion, leaving only Snow Wolf and twenty ninth-level realm soldiers with his first clone for emergencies.
The opponents there were weak in strength, and with two demon race legions, they could basically handle most situations. If strong enemies appeared, the first clone would lead Snow Wolf and those twenty soldiers to deal with them, which would be sustainable.
It was just that the first clone had to both deal with enemy experts and transform into Ye Liuyun’s appearance to attract Jiang Yuntian’s attention, so the pressure would be considerable. Once dangerous situations arose, Ye Liuyun would need to rush back to rescue them.
Xiao Heng’s legion, after several rounds of training and elimination, had been condensed down to fifty thousand soldiers. Moreover, the lowest realm was early eighth level of Guiyi, and their legion’s combat strength was sufficient to face a hundred-thousand-strong Fire Seal Dynasty army.
Furthermore, this Feihong Galaxy was Xiao Heng’s homeland. Having him return to fight against the Fire Seal Dynasty, he could also contact local forces to cooperate with them in their attacks.
Ye Liuyun took him on a detour to the Feihong Galaxy forces, first establishing contact with the local army to fight against the Fire Seal Dynasty together, and also took the opportunity to replace the armor of Xiao Heng’s fifty thousand soldiers to distinguish them from the Fire Seal Dynasty’s forces.
However, Xiao Heng and his men operated very covertly, with soldiers hidden in Xiao Heng’s spatial world. Even if Jiang Yuntian sent people to investigate, they wouldn’t discover any changes in their military strength.
Ye Liuyun and his second clone also went ahead to the planet Jiang Yuntian was about to attack, lying in wait for them to make the first move. The second clone was responsible for coordinating with Xiao Heng and monitoring Jiang Yuntian’s movements. He himself was responsible for leading those five thousand elite soldiers, preparing to launch a surprise attack on the Fire Seal Dynasty’s armies.
Jiang Yuntian was indeed extremely cautious. After Ye Liuyun wiped out the Duqiao Galaxy and disappeared, Jiang Yuntian had already guessed that he might have arrived at his battlefield. So he immediately held his troops in place, increasing sentries to guard against Ye Liuyun’s surprise attack.
Only after confirming that Ye Liuyun had taken over for Jiang Yunmu to continue attacking the Imperial Galaxy did he relax slightly, dispatching a hundred-thousand-strong surrendered soldier legion to attempt an attack on the planet ahead.
Ye Liuyun and Xiao Heng both held their ground during this probing attack, merely disguising themselves as ordinary people and blending into their martial cultivator ranks to practice with the power of heaven and earth. Everything else was left to the Flying Rainbow Galaxy’s army to resist with all their might, managing to repel this wave of assault.
Only after seeing nothing unusual did Jiang Yuntian dare to first dispatch two route armies from the dynasty, bringing along two hundred thousand surrendered soldiers to press toward Ye Liuyun’s position together.
Ye Liuyun discovered that the commanders of these two route armies were quite different. One was named Qin Mu, a veteran army commander whose ninth-realm soldiers appeared somewhat solid in strength. The other was Li Konghan, son of a commander—though he had some experience leading troops, his soldiers were clearly slightly inferior to Qin Mu’s forces.
"The numbers and strength are perfect for training our troops. Stay alert for sneak attacks from strong enemies within the army!"
Ye Liuyun reminded his clone and Xiao Heng, then chose Qin Mu’s route army as his target.
Xiao Heng immediately worked with the clone to formulate an attack strategy, leaving the lowest-realm soldiers to the clone to handle with Tang Xinyao and the women.
The two hundred thousand surrendered soldiers were to be dealt with by Xiao Heng dispatching ninth-realm soldiers to eliminate their commander, then handed over to the Flying Rainbow Galaxy’s army to confront.
Ye Liuyun and his clone also fully extended their divine senses, thoroughly scouting out all the martial cultivators and scouts monitoring the surroundings of these two route armies.
