The best defense is offense, attack where the enemy must save!
Xiao Fei led over a thousand cultivators, not engaging the powerful demons and monsters surrounding Yang Tianjie head-on.
Instead, they quietly infiltrated through the gaps in the battlefield, flanking the demon army and launching a surprise attack on their weak points.
At this moment, Xiao Fei and his over a thousand followers were hidden in a deep underground cave.
"Eight thousand li east from here lies the city of Wuji Immortal City. The strategic supplies transported from the rear of the Demon Alliance are all stored in this immortal city."
Xiao Fei spread out a map, densely marked with the numbers of the Demon Alliance's garrisons and their respective movement routes.
"However, Wuji Immortal City has a resident Immortal Lord, twenty Heavenly Immortals, and over a thousand Earth Immortals and True Immortals combined."
Although the number of immortals on both sides was similar, the human race lacked a powerhouse at the Immortal Lord level, and their Heavenly Immortals were fewer than the demons.
Based on this strength comparison, even if they launched a surprise attack on Wuji Immortal City, they would gain no advantage.
"May I ask fellow Daoist Jia Ren, how do you plan to deal with the Demon Alliance's Immortal Lord?"
At this moment, Tian Zhi voiced the doubt in everyone's heart.
This was because Jia Ren had previously taken on the responsibility, stating that he had his own means.
Although Jia Ren had already demonstrated his formidable intelligence capabilities, this did not necessarily translate to combat power.
"Everyone, rest assured. When the attack on the city begins, we will naturally have reinforcements to assist us, and someone will deal with the demon's Immortal Lord!"
Jia Ren's promise relieved everyone present, and a hint of joy appeared on their faces.
"However, there are several other garrisons nearby. If a battle occurs here, other garrisons may arrive to reinforce within one incense stick's time.
We have at most one incense stick's time. We must act swiftly and withdraw quickly!"
"Senior Brother Jin Wucheng, lead the disciples of Yuxu Palace to break into the city from the north gate. There is a storage depot in the north city, which will be your responsibility."
"No problem, the north city is mine!"
Jin Wucheng cupped his hands and made the promise.
After these few days of interaction, he had been convinced by Jia Ren's intelligence and command capabilities and was happy to follow Jia Ren's orders.
"Tian Zhi, lead a team to break in from the west gate.
There is a large storage depot in the southwest corner of the city. According to the intelligence, it is filled with immortal pills. Take your men to seize it."
"No problem, it will be handled perfectly!"
Tian Zhi was overjoyed. If he led his men to seize a depot, the spoils of war would naturally belong to their group.
"Senior Brother Fang of Yuxu Palace, lead your men from the south gate..."
...
A caravan of several hundred humans, carrying heavy supplies, marched grandly towards the north gate of Wuji Immortal City.
The two great crab demons guarding the city gate lazily watched the approaching caravan and became somewhat interested.
Wuji City, as the rear base for the Demon Alliance's strategic material reserves, frequently had caravans transporting goods in and out to ensure front-line supply.
Since the Demon Alliance had carried out a great purge of humans, human caravans had rarely been seen in operation.
The two crabs had already planned to make things difficult for this caravan.
"Crab Second, I feel this caravan is not quite right!"
"Crab Sixth, what's not right? I think it's perfectly normal. Let's extort them properly later!"
"Halt!"
Crab Second said, standing horizontally at the city gate, blocking the caravan's path.
"I now suspect you are human spies and will seize your caravan's goods!"
"Two esteemed crab lords, please be merciful!"
A man walked out from the caravan, holding up two storage bags and presenting them to the two.
Crab Second scanned the storage bags with his divine sense and found them filled to the brim with immortal pills.
He nodded, realizing this person understood the rules.
"It seems I misunderstood you. You may enter!"
Crab Sixth was still uneasy and wanted to step forward to investigate, but was kicked aside by Crab Second.
Watching a caravan of several hundred people pass by them grandly.
Crab Second said earnestly, "Let me tell you, we take people's money and must resolve their troubles.
Since we have accepted their benefits, we must let them enter the city and not go back on our word. This is called 'thieves having their own code'!"
"What if they really are human spies?"
Crab Sixth was still stubborn and asked very seriously.
"Hahaha... If they are indeed human spies, we should let them in even more!"
"What strange logic is this?"
Crab Sixth was completely bewildered by this statement and could not understand it!
"Boom, boom, boom..."
At this moment, violent sounds erupted from within the city, shaking the earth.
It turned out that the human caravan that had just entered the city had revealed its true form, drawing weapons and launching a massacre.
Jin Wucheng led his men from the north gate to the north third ring, then to Victory Road, and finally to the warehouse district.
Along the way, they chopped at any demon they saw and killed any monster they encountered! They killed without blinking, their eyes not even feeling dry.
At this time, Crab Second, seeing the situation, had already grabbed Crab Sixth and hidden them tightly in the grass by the roadside.
"See! If we had insisted on blocking them earlier, what would have been the outcome?"
Facing Crab Second's questioning tone, Crab Sixth's mind still hadn't caught up.
"If we had followed my suggestion earlier, we could have blocked this group of human spies outside the city and forced them to reveal their intentions sooner."
"Old Six! If it weren't for the fact that you are my own brother, I would truly want to pinch you to death."
"Look at me, your second brother. I've guarded the city gate for hundreds of years, and my partners have changed more than a dozen times, yet I'm still alive.
At this moment, if you block the way, although you are performing your duty diligently, you will also be the first one they want to kill!"
"Even if the city falls and is captured by humans, what does it have to do with you? Do you have a single immortal stone in the city, or immortal pills? Or perhaps your cave dwelling?"
Crab Sixth shook his head blankly.
They, the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, had no status among the demons. They were at the very bottom, penniless.
Their only advantage was having more legs than others.
"Since you have nothing, why risk your life for the property of others in the city?
If Wuji Immortal City is lost, we will move to another immortal city and continue guarding the gates!
If Wuji Immortal City is ultimately defended, with so many demons dead, they will be in need of personnel, and we brothers can enter the city to reap some benefits!"
Under his second brother's teachings, Crab Sixth finally had a sudden realization.
"Second Brother, let's hide further away, lest we get caught in the crossfire."
...
Regardless of the trivial matters of the two crabs at the city gate, Jia Ren led the human army to charge into the city from all four gates, catching the demons off guard.
The four teams each rushed towards their respective combat objectives.
Jia Ren, however, found a corner alone and opened a spatial portal to the Third Jianmu World.
Lord Bing Huo Immortal Lord charged out first, followed by a mysterious team in black robes emerging from the spatial portal.
