Tang Fengkuan laughed heartily, sending those disciples back to cultivate immediately.
Tang Qianyu was naturally among the disciples receiving the new cultivation technique. She had originally wanted to chat longer with Ye Liuyun, Tang Xinyao, and the others, quite curious about their experiences, but Tang Fengkuan chased her back along with everyone else.
Only after all the disciples were sent away did Tang Fengkuan speak seriously to Ye Liuyun: "You can fight Fire Seal Dynasty without holding back. Our Tang Family absolutely supports you—you don’t need to consider us at all. Just when you feel it’s dangerous, take those disciples who received the technique and ensure their safety!"
Ye Liuyun was deeply grateful for his open-mindedness and support, making a solemn promise in return.
Afterward, he left Tang Xinyao and the others at the Tang Family residence to reunite with their families first, while he went out to scout the terrain.
Once finished scouting, he gathered Yu Xiaofeng and the other commanders together to discuss strategies. He also shared all intelligence reports received from scouts with everyone.
"Fire Seal Dynasty has recruited a million-strong army, but their cultivation levels range from Return One Ninth Level down to First Level. They haven’t undergone much training either—estimated combat strength shouldn’t be very high."
Yu Xiaofeng continued analyzing: "This million is probably just cannon fodder meant to buy time for their real army. They can’t possibly expect these people to fight us properly. These troops will scatter and flee at first contact—they might even attract wandering martial cultivators throughout Demon Purge Galaxy, creating chaos on various planets. That’s the real threat."
"As for large-scale warfare," he added, "defensive battles usually require terrain advantages. But around galaxies there’s only starry space—no way to defend there."
"Our army’s combat strength and numbers are both at a disadvantage," Yu Xiaofeng concluded. "Only our strongest hundred-thousand troops and forty thousand bandits matter most. Our best strategy is surprise attacks—hit hard then withdraw quickly, lure them into splitting forces before eliminating them gradually."
"Besides," he noted grimly, "our demon army will have its strength suppressed fighting in Demon Purge Galaxy."
Finally after discussion, they reached unanimous decision: deploy troops immediately to destroy this first wave of million cannon fodder first; then engage Fire Seal Dynasty’s elite forces in starry space as much as possible.
"Improvements on firepower chariots need acceleration!" The commanders had all foreseen that Fire Seal Dynasty would send substantial elite forces this time—a major battle loomed ahead.
Ye Liuyun immediately notified Qiong Qi (Poverty-stricken Strange), Tong Xin (Childlike Heart), and Skyfire Ancestor about current situation.
"Estimated two months until firepower chariots needed!" Ye Liuyun roughly calculated timeline.
After assessment by Tong Xin and others came accurate reply: "Old firepower chariots available immediately—don’t worry about Fire Seal Dynasty knowing beforehand. Before true battle arrives we’ll have new ones ready too."
Ye promptly decided: "Since we’re taking initiative let’s strike Bridge Crossing Galaxy first using it as battlefield instead!"
"What about here? Should we leave defensive forces?" asked Yu Xiaofeng worriedly knowing small garrisons couldn’t hold anyway!
Ye responded decisively: "No defenders left behind—however many remain won’t stop Fire Seal invasion anyway! Leave experts they’ll send more experts; leave armies they’ll send larger armies! Jiang Yuantang wants forced confrontation not conquest itself should they dare attack here—we’ll counterstrike directly against Fire Seal Galaxy itself!"
This decision connected closely with Tang Fengkuan’s earlier stance too!
Since Elder Tang could accept losses freely why stubbornly defend Demon Purge Galaxy pointlessly? Without fixation on holding territory fighting became far easier minimizing soldier casualties dramatically!
Commanders naturally approved wholeheartedly benefiting operations greatly though worrying about potential dual-front warfare if Tang Family requested aid under attack later...
"You prepare fully meanwhile I’ll explain everything personally toward Tang household!"
Ye dismissed them toward preparations finding Elder Tang immediately afterward whereupon hearing proposal agreement came instantly plus suggestion bringing Tai Xu Qi Refining Technique cultivating disciples along gaining battlefield experience opportunities whenever possible!
Having secured understanding plus backing lifted burdens considerably allowing him arrange matters smoothly thereafter ordering Second Clone’s spatial world entry led by Team-Heart-Yao guiding hundred disciples continuous cultivation alongside combat readiness training whenever available downtime permitted occasional sorties practicing actual warfare skills developing rapidly through live experience rather than mere theoretical study alone...
As soon as these people entered, Ye Liuyun sent them a hundred sets of True Rank Nine armor, leaving them all shocked.
"You don’t need to fight cultivators with higher realms. These armors should be enough for you to make do with for now!" Ye Liuyun didn’t say much more, leaving after a brief instruction.
"Those who want to go out and fight should put them on and get familiar with them. He has plenty of this stuff, so there’s no need for you to make a fuss about it!" Tang Xinyao also told them nonchalantly.
Tang Xinyao and her group were currently wearing Void Rank armor, and they knew Ye Liuyun had plenty of this kind of captured armor in his possession. Following Ye Liuyun, they had become somewhat numb to ordinary resources.
But those hundred Tang family disciples were all acting as if they had obtained treasures, incredibly excited. Even Tang Qianyu couldn’t help but curiously ask Tang Xinyao all sorts of questions.
At this time, Ye Liuyun hurried to the Duxing Galaxy, having the commander select planets for stationing troops. Then he also had the formation masters inspect the formations on those planets to see if there were any hidden functions.
After confirming there were no problems, they drove away residents from the planets where troops would be stationed to avoid involving them in battle, and also had formation masters modify and set up defensive formations on those garrison planets.
His several armies were all openly deployed, deliberately letting the Fire Seal Dynasty know they had arrived here.
Jiang Yunmo was the first to contact Ye Liuyun, asking him about the situation.
"Your father insisted on fighting me, so I chose this place as the battlefield!" Ye Liuyun said directly.
"Instead of going to defend the Exorcist Galaxy, you’re making my territory your battlefield?" Jiang Yunmo was extremely puzzled.
Ye Liuyun explained to her: "There’s no need to defend it. The Exorcist Galaxy isn’t my home galaxy either—I only have a few subordinates there. Besides, even if I wanted to defend it, I couldn’t hold it!
Better to choose this place as the battlefield—it’s closer to the Fire Seal Dynasty. If they dare attack the Exorcist Galaxy, then it’ll also be convenient for me to strike at the Fire Seal Galaxy."
"You... you’re really going to fight the dynasty to the bitter end?"
Jiang Yunmo was helpless. She knew that ever since she dissolved her contract with Ye Liuyun, she no longer had any relationship with him whatsoever.
"It’s not that I want a fight to death—it’s your father who insists on settling things with me! How can we negotiate transaction prices without first determining a winner?" Ye Liuyun didn’t hide anything from her.
