Chapter 2678: Ye Zhongming's Unease 😟

Published: February 13, 2025

“Come on, all those countless practices were for today. Let’s get energized and show those who look down on the Su Clan that as long as we want to, there’s nothing we can’t accomplish!”

After Ye Zhongming agreed to her suggestion, Meng Chen Su seemed to rejuvenate, looking decades younger. She clapped her hands and issued orders to her subordinates.

“No one is allowed to make mistakes, because we only have enough materials for one deployment. If anyone messes it up, I will hang them at the gate of Su City for one hundred eighty days, without clothes!”

The formation masters preparing to start work all shivered; this leader who had commanded the Scar Legion for a century was not just talking nonsense.

“Here, here, and here…” Meng Chen Su tapped on the light barrier map seven times and then said to the waiting Sherrod, “You take people to occupy these locations, including the internal area formed by connecting the seven points. We need to set up formations within that area.”

“We need about one hour twenty to one hour forty minutes, of course, this is under the condition of not being disturbed. So, given that the area we need today is not small, we will definitely face interruptions. You need to ensure our safety while minimizing any disturbances.”

Sherrod stood up straight and said, “Please rest assured!”

After he spoke, he looked at the light barrier map and quickly gathered his subordinates for a brief meeting lasting about half a minute, and then the entire legion began to move.

From above, the elite coalition army of the Su Clan Alliance spread out in seven directions from their current position.

Since they needed to occupy a heptagonal area, Sherrod implemented a fourteen-point battle strategy. This meant sending out a portion of troops to occupy the seven points first, and then connecting the lines between two points, with a large number of troops dispatched to the center as well. The entire heptagon would be occupied first at fourteen points, and then using these fourteen points as a foundation, troops would be deployed along the lines between two points to fortify the area.

The remaining troops were divided into two groups: one group of formation masters to provide protection and the other to start clearing the central area of the heptagon from the inside out.

Overall, it was a strategy of line cutting and then encroaching.

One must say that Sherrod’s command ability was quite impressive. The coalition was formed in a short time, and each soldier was an elite core fighter from their respective races.

Being able to command these people to obey orders and move in such a short time showed this individual’s strong capabilities.

Due to the need for setting up formations, flat ground was required. The scattered soldiers of the Su Clan Alliance were basically demolishing and eliminating anything in their path.

Such a large-scale operation quickly caught the attention of the dwarves. Many frontline commanders realized the attackers' intentions shortly after discovering them.

The formation master legion among them was simply too conspicuous.

Since all the forces in Divine Artisan City were engaged in battle and they weren’t sure if there were any reserves, many dwarf commanders weighed the situation and dispatched some personnel to converge towards this side. On their way, they kept contacting and merging until they formed several groups with considerable numbers, mainly concentrated in three directions of the heptagon, with each area having over twenty thousand troops.

Gathering so many people at this time was already quite good.

Moreover, one should not forget that the royal guards of Divine Artisan City were stationed nearby to prevent areas from being occupied, and part of the heptagon overlapped with their defense zone.

Thus, fighting began almost immediately when the elite coalition army of the Su Clan Alliance acted.

Due to the participation of the royal guards, the reinforcements from other places were integrated under the command of the royal guard commander, Zhi Yonglie.
