Chapter 1410 Suddenly turned into a brute?
"Reporting to the Empress—!"
A Zerg warrior in human form knelt on one knee before the Zerg Empress, Dream Butterfly, and respectfully reported: "The human race's Night Song, the fallen angel Ye Bing, the succubus race's Willow Oriole, the spirit demon race's Su Yanling, and the demon race's Flame Princess have all led 100,000 troops into the Misty Fog region!"
"What??!"
The Dream Butterfly's expression changed slightly, and she said in a cold voice, "The Mysterious Mist Array is an ancient array. How dare they just barge in like this!?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Cangyuan, Leonardo, Leona, and the others all turned to look.
The Zerg warrior bowed his head: "Yes!"
Huanmeng: "Are you sure Yege is leading the team personally?"
"I confirm!" the Zerg warrior said with certainty. "The other two human Soul Emperor realm experts, Gao Shenxue and Xia Xiyao, also entered the Misty Zone with Ye Ge. They are leading the Ye family's elite troops and the human empire's royal guards!"
"The elite troops of the Ye family, the royal guards..." Ji Cangyuan stroked his chin, his brows furrowed, looking somewhat bewildered. "These should be Ye Ge's main force... but this shouldn't be the case. Why aren't they afraid of the mysterious fog formation at all? Why are they sending their main force in directly?"
In their original plan, the Alliance of All Races would first send an advance force to scout ahead, find out the weaknesses and dangers of the Misty Mist Formation, and then make further plans.
Then, the leaders of the various races in the Alliance of All Races will argue over whose troops to send to scout ahead, since no one would want their army to die.
According to their original estimate, the Alliance of Ten Thousand Races would need at least a week to cobble together a mediocre reconnaissance force. This was because they were former members of the Light Alliance and knew all too well the nature of these race leaders! Each one was incredibly shrewd; even if they were allied, they would never truly be united. They would all be thinking about protecting themselves as much as possible in the war, sacrificing their allies, maximizing their gains, and minimizing losses.
This hastily assembled, less-than-elite reconnaissance force would be easily wiped out once it entered the mysterious fog formation.
This should buy them at least ten days, or even more. If the old guys in the Myriad Races Alliance maintain their old ways, this mysterious fog formation should hold them off for at least a few months!
During this time of delay, Illusion will allow the venomous insects to silently expand the fog's coverage without the enemy's knowledge, enveloping the entire Allied Forces army surrounding the Crimson Plains within the fog!
At that point, they will have all the initiative in their hands.
Who knew the enemy would play by completely unpredictable rules! Night Song actually led his main force straight in like that?!
"Damn it! This is unbelievable..." Ji Cangyuan cursed, "Wasn't Ye Ge known for being cautious, cunning, and treacherous before? How come he's turned into a reckless brute this time? He didn't even send out an advance force, and just came in on his own?"
"Could it be..." Leona frowned, "Then Night Song already knew how to break this mysterious fog formation, right?"
"That's impossible." The Dream Butterfly's expression was grave. "The Mysterious Mist Array is a forbidden formation of our insect race during the Fourth War of Ten Thousand Races. To cast it once requires the sacrifice of one billion strange poisonous insects! And these strange poisonous insects are extremely precious. Each one takes three hundred years to grow to maturity, and their egg production is extremely low, with a larval mortality rate as high as 70%. Therefore, after the Fourth War of Ten Thousand Races, our insect race protected it and it cannot be used lightly. So in this era, let alone anyone who has entered the Mysterious Mist Array and knows how to break it, there are very few people who have even seen the Mysterious Mist Array. Logically speaking, Night Song shouldn't know about it."
"Hmm... I remember that in my previous life, the 'Mysterious Mist Array' only appeared in the storyline and players didn't get to experience it firsthand, right?" Ji Cangyuan pondered, "Even if Ye Ge was a game strategy maniac... it shouldn't be possible for him to see through the weaknesses of an array he hadn't experienced before."
Leonardo looked at Huanmeng: "During the Fourth War of the Myriad Races, was anyone able to break this formation?"
Huanmeng paused for a moment, then said, "Yes, there is only one. That is the former Demon Lord, but he was killed by the current Demon Lord, Kahn, long ago."
"What's even stranger is, what's going on with everyone else besides Ye Ge?" Ji Cangyuan looked completely bewildered. "Ye Bing and Liu Ying are understandable; they were probably following Ye Ge as planned, preparing to make their move. But what about Su Yanling, the Empress of the Spirit Demon Clan, and Yan Ji, one of the Four Demon Lords? Have they gone mad along with Ye Ge? Or have they been tricked and brainwashed by him?"
Leona: "Isn't Su Yanling the descendant of the Nine-Tailed Fox from last time? She was targeted by our company, but we failed to capture her and she was rescued by Yege. I guess that's what happened. She's probably repaying a debt of gratitude. As for Yan Ji... I really don't know what's going on."
Huanmeng looked at everyone, her voice cold: "No matter what, they've arrived now. It seems we can't escape a direct battle with them! Let them come. Within my Zerg's ancient mysterious mist formation, as many as come, they will die!"
"The problem is..." Ji Cangyuan paused, glanced at Huanmeng, Leonardo, and Leona, and said quietly, "Do we really have to work for Sima Qing unconditionally like this?"
"..."
Leona: "What do you mean by that?"
"It's just what it sounds like." Ji Cangyuan shrugged. "Think about my sea race, your dark elf race, Leonas's holy elf race, and the insect race of Huanmeng. Which one of them isn't a powerful race that dominates one side among all races?"
"When we joined the company's board of directors, we were originally looking for an alliance to concentrate the power of the Descendants in order to rule the entire territory of the myriad races. But what about now? We've been getting orders from that guy Sima Qing all along! Even though he's the chairman, we're not his subordinates. Why should we do whatever he tells us to do without any conditions?"
"This war among all races is the same. With just one sentence, he ordered us to hold off the alliance of all races on this blood-red plain, and now we have to spend our time here fighting against tens of millions of the alliance's army!"
"And what about him? He actually went to Crimson Dragon City to look for the Azure Dragon Treasure! And all those promises he made were nothing but empty promises! We don't even know if they'll be fulfilled in the end! Tell me, what the hell makes sense?"
"..."
The group fell silent.
“What Ji Cangyuan said is indeed true.” Huanmeng Caidie’s voice was cold. She looked at Leonardo and said, “Think about when we were suppressed by Yege’s Demon God Colossus. Sima Qing just watched us die and did nothing. He was clearly just using us as tools. In my opinion, even if what he said could come true one day, he would only be doing it for himself, and we might end up with nothing.”
