Special War God

Chapter 147 Xu Qian's Strategy

The monster tribe was completely defeated. The first wave of human attack only killed a dozen monsters, but at this moment of comprehensive retreat, the extent of their losses was far greater than during the first attack.

Although they had thick skin and strong defense, and were able to barely escape after repeated attacks, humans were not willing to let them go easily, and more than forty monsters were still surrounded.

Fei Yi, Xuan Gui, Dang Kang, Chi Yu, Mie Meng Bird...these famous monsters were not spared and were all trapped inside.

Thanks to their "sacrifice", the remaining monsters had a chance to escape, and the remaining more than 100 monsters had all retreated to a hidden training valley. The ancient monsters such as Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, Kirin, Pegasus, and Yinglong set up defenses at several forked passes in the valley to resist the human cultivators who followed them, and the two sides once again formed a tense confrontation.

Those monsters that failed to escape let out mournful cries before death, which made their fellow beasts who took shelter in the valley feel sad and deeply experienced the cruel reality that the death of the rabbit brings grief to the fox.

Qiongqi finally brought Xu Qian down into the valley, and Xu Dejing ordered his troops to withdraw in time instead of pursuing the victory.

This time, the human cultivators launched a surprise attack late at night and won an overwhelming victory. Not a single cultivator in the Void Breaking Stage died, and only over forty cultivators in the Origin Transformation Stage died heroically. The number of casualties was even less than the number of monsters destroyed.

After this battle, Xu Dejing's prestige among the human cultivators was at its peak. He not only gathered the human cultivators into a powerful fighting force, but also won high praise from everyone for his outstanding tactical dispatch in this battle. Many cultivators said that Xu Dejing was the first to achieve such a fruitful victory if it were not for his planning, so he did not need to abide by his previous promise when distributing the spoils, and could have gotten more.

However, Xu Dejing still kept his promise and obtained less spoils than any other cultivator in the Void Breaking Stage. This move puzzled many cultivators. Wasn't the purpose of entering the Immortal Palace to compete for cultivation resources? Now that there is an opportunity to gain more, why don't they take it? What is the deep meaning behind it?

However, his keeping his promise also made many monks trust him more and more, and they sincerely recognized his position as the leader of the alliance. At the same time, the human alliance was able to truly form a whole atmosphere, and the phenomenon of intrigue was greatly reduced.

In the training valley, the monsters all remained silent. The current situation had developed far beyond their expectations. In just one night, they had been suppressed by the human race in this valley. Even under the close surveillance of the human race, they could not even sneak into the fog in batches to understand the formation.

After a moment of silence, Qinglong spoke first: "What should we do next? Why don't we cover Qiongqi, Tianma and the two human cultivators and lead some monsters to break through into the fog, and the rest will return to the valley to hold on. After those who go ahead are familiar with the formation in the fog, they will meet us at the other end and rush through together."

Baihu lamented, "There are still 153 monsters left. Even if everything goes well, I'm afraid dozens of our kind will be slaughtered by humans. We'll be lucky if we can finally save hundreds of them."

Qilin said, "It seems that you are still too optimistic. We still had more than 200 monsters yesterday, but in the battle last night, we lost nearly 60. Our strength is not as good as before, but the loss of the human race is not serious.

With our current strength, it is already difficult for us to stop the human race's offensive. If we try to break out in batches, even if we succeed, the remaining strength will be further weakened. How can we compete with the human race? I am afraid that in the end, the entire army will be wiped out in this valley."

According to this analysis, the situation is indeed not optimistic. There may be only about twenty monsters that can survive and escape...

After hearing this, many spirit beasts fell silent again.

The White Tiger holds the most optimistic idea, while the Qilin expresses a pessimistic speculation that no matter how they evolve, the alien beast tribe will probably face huge sacrifices.

At this time, Xu Qian suddenly said: "Maybe there are other solutions."

All the spirit beasts turned to look at her, and just then they remembered that Xu Qian had mentioned before that she wanted to go to the human race to look for her father, and then the human race's surprise attack happened, so that everyone forgot about the matter.

Xu Qian continued, "During last night's battle, I was observing the overall situation with Qiongqi in the Nine Skies. I realized that my father is most likely the leader of the human camp."

Qinglong asked in confusion: "We have fought against the human race many times, but we didn't see that they have a leader!"

Qilin asked: "Can you tell me where your father was during the battle?"

Xu Qian replied, "To the south, there is the cultivator in white robes who has reached the Return to Void realm."

Qilin nodded in agreement: "Yes, it is the white-robed Huanxu monk who never directly participated in the battle from beginning to end and always had several monks accompanying him."

Qilin sighed, "It is true that the human race did not have a clear leader before, but the battle last night was no small matter. Both morale and coordination were completely different from before, and we suffered heavy losses as a result. Your guess is likely correct."

It turned out that Qilin had already noticed the new changes in the human race and had made his own judgment.

Many spirit beasts showed expressions of surprise and doubt, and they all looked at Xu Qian, with thoughts in their minds.

Qilin ignored the reactions of the people around him and continued to ask: "What countermeasures do you have?"

Xu Qian replied: "I want to go to the human land to meet my father and convince him to come to our side."

At this time, Yinglong snorted coldly and started to sneer: "Absurd! The human race has an absolute advantage. Do you think you can convince your father to abandon the human race and turn to us, the alien beasts? Are you stupid, or do you think your father is stupid? Or do you think we are all a group of idiots who are easy to fool? Do you think that our alien beasts are weak and plan to turn to the human race? Just happen to be born in the human race?"

Many of the spirit beasts around were already staring at Xu Qian with hostile eyes. After hearing Yinglong's words, they became even more noisy and agitated. Some shouted, "This is a human spy, we must kill her!" "Quickly capture this woman and use her to negotiate with the human race!"...

The crowd was in turmoil and the situation was about to get out of control. Qiongqi, Tianma, Gu Xiuzhan and others had to nervously protect Xu Qian and try their best to maintain order.

However, Xu Qian remained silent, without showing any panic on her face. Instead, she stared at the leaders of the strange beasts, such as the Qilin, the white tiger and the blue dragon.

She had seen a lot of storms in the past few days, and the noise of these spirit beasts at this moment could not shake her inner peace at all. She was waiting, and at the same time observing the reactions of several beast leaders, especially Qilin.

She was not too worried about her own safety. As long as these strange beasts still relied on Xia Zhongnan to lead them out of the fairy palace, she was sure that they would not dare to really hurt themselves, because Xia Zhongnan was her reliance.

As for whether she could ensure Xu Dejing's safety if she really succeeded in persuading Xu Dejing to surrender to the alien beasts, that became her most concerned issue at the moment.
