Everyone, including the Wang Clan Master, stared at Su Yu.
It was as if Su Yu was in charge and not the Wang Clan Master.
Su Yu understood what they wanted to know and said calmly, “The defenses can be activated, but the underground passage does not need to be filled!”
The Wang Clan Master was taken aback, “Doesn’t that leave us with endless hidden dangers?”
Su Yu smiled, “If we had not known about the abandoned tunnels, it would have been our fatal weakness, but now that we know about it, it will be our greatest weapon against the enemy!”
Some smart people realized what Su Yu meant and could not help but looked shocked.
“What a big appetite! You actually intend to…”
“This man looks like he has a peaceful demeanor, but his ambition is great and we should not speculate! Be careful with your words and do not be offensive.”
“While we were thinking about defending the city, he was already planning to attack the enemy!”
Su Yu said, “We might as well use his own tactics against him! Nitian Hanxing likes to win with his formidable army. We might as well use his favorite tactics to teach him a lesson he will never forget!”
Everyone was impressed, after some hesitation, even Wang Clan Master agreed with Su Yu’s plan.
The abandoned underground passage, which was tens of thousands of feet underground, was still suppressed by spells.
If the underground passage suddenly collapsed, even if there were level two strong men within, they would be buried forever.
If Nitian Hanxing attacked through the underground passage, they would definitely be able to destroy him!
“Alright! Send someone to set up explosion charms in the underground passage!” Wang Clan Master’s eyes were brimming with excitement.
“Slow down!” Su Yu stopped them again.
Wang Clan Master did not dare to contradict and said, “Please give us pointers, Su Yu.”
He used the word ‘pointers’, which showed that he was already thoroughly convinced by Su Yu’s capabilities.
Su Yu looked around at the people and said, “It is not that I don’t trust you, but how did Nitian Hanxing know about the underground passages? I have been to those passages and they are intricate and extend indefinitely. Even if a billion-strong army entered it, they would be like lost sheep, and quickly lose their sense of direction. Instead, they found the passage to Fan Capital in a short period of time. Do you sense something is amiss? ”
There was a spy!
Everyone was shaken to their cores. They were shocked by the fall of Fan Capital, but they had not carefully examined what had gone wrong.
Now when they thought about it carefully, if there was no spy to plan the directions for them, how could the army attack so efficiently?
“There is a traitor in the Fan Capital, and there might be traitors among us as well!” Su Yu said this reasonably. Even if some people were uncomfortable with that claim, they felt that it made sense as well.
Wang Clan Master looked around at everyone and said, “What Su Yu said is not unreasonable. It is not that I, the Wang clan master, do not believe you, but this is a very grave situation. If the news of our ambush against Nitian Hanxing is leaked, all our efforts will go to waste!”
He took out something from his sleeve. It was a black bronze man that was emitting strange waves.
Everyone realized suddenly that their communication tools were not working.
Someone tried to secretly send a voice message that said, “This is a prop to block out sending messages…”
Unexpectedly, the sound of that quiet voice message was magnified ten times and reverberated in everyone’s ears. The person who said those words was scared, his expression changed greatly, and said, ” I am not the spy, I am just curious… ”
Wang Clan Master squinted his eyes, and unleashed some magic that bound the person in the air, saying, “In this moment of crisis, anyone who is suspicious will not leave this place for even half a step.”
“Everyone, please stay in the house. Before the ambush is completed, you must not leave without permission. Otherwise, you will be regarded as a traitor, and everyone will band together against you. How about that?”
In response, the two Temple Lord and Mistress, as well as Ling Wu agreed on the spot.
The rest dared not resist and naturally obeyed the order.
Wang Clan Master said, “My friend, I want to ask you one thing.”
Su Yu immediately said, “Yes, I will help you ambush Nitian Hanxing.”
Wang Clan Master was taken aback. Su Yu knew his thoughts before he even spoke, and his mind was resolute. The Wang clan master was greatly relieved to give the task to such a person.
It was not that Su Yu wanted to take credit, but he wanted to settle the matter with the wizard tribe as soon as possible and return to the Star River Divine Realm.
The strange thing was that there were no objections. Instead, the majority agreed.
Other than the Wang clan master who would personally carry out this matter, no one else present would be capable of taking on the role.
Could it be the two Temple Lord and Mistress or Ling Wu? Who knew if they had been bought over or not?
Only the Wang clan master himself, who always had the clan’s best interests in mind, would never collude with a foreign enemy to invade Sheng Capital.
Su Yu was an exception.
What he had done had earned their trust.
If Su Yu was under suspicion, then no one was worthy of trust.
“I need an army that will obey my orders absolutely.”
Wang clan master said, “No problem! Qingchen, you will lead the military, and perform the mission with Su Yu. If anyone refuses to obey orders, kill without hesitation!”
Wang Qingchen stood up, “Understood, and I accept the order!”
The two of them left the hall, and Wang clan master stroked his beard and said, “I, as the master of the clan, will stay here with you all. We will supervise each other until the ambush is complete!”
Everyone nodded slowly. Only one person had a menacing expression on his face.
Wang Qingchen selected ten thousand soldiers and went with Su Yu to the former site of the Wang clan’s mansion. After some excavation work, it turned out that there was indeed a long-abandoned underground cave. It was extremely deep and they were unsure where it led to.
Wang Qingchen smiled, “It’s really interesting to follow Brother Su to ambush the army of God Realm. Just thinking about it made me feel very excited. The army of the Heaven defying empire is considered invincible in the God Realm.”
Su Yu stared at the abandoned underground passage and said, “Let’s get to work.”
Wang Qingchen waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him immediately took out the explosive charges from the warehouse and distributed them in the abandoned passage.
Then, they just had to wait for Nitian Hanxing’s army to arrive, and let them have a taste of their welcome gift.
However, Su Yu said, “Well, then detonate them and fill the tunnel to prevent any future complications.”
What? The soldiers froze, so did Wang Qingchen.
“Brother Su, wait, didn’t you say you want to ambush the army of Nitian Hanxing through this method? What’s the use of detonating now?” Wang Qingchen could not understand.
Su Yu said lightly, “It is taboo for military strategists to use the same tactics, especially when I appeared in the underground passage and personally broke through them. The plan was not a secret anymore. If Nitian Hanxing used the same plan, then I would have overestimated him. ”
“The surprise attack against Nitian Hanxing will no longer be in the underground passage, but through another way,” Su Yu said.
Upon hearing this, Wang Qingchen felt that it made sense.
From the way Nitian Hanxing used his soldiers, it was often surprising and unexpected.
If the same strategy was used twice, then it was indeed not his style.
“But Brother Su, why did you say those words in the temple?” Wang Qingchen said. “If my father is overseeing the operation, the information will not be leaked.”
Su Yu shook his head, “Don’t be too superstitious about the tools of the wizard tribe. There are many unimaginable magical powers within the divine paths, and the tools of the wizard tribe may not be able to counter all of them! It would be better if there are no traitors among us. If there are traitors, they will be paralyzed after hearing the news from our end. This allows us to buy some time and take action. By saying those words back at the temple, only good will come out of it. ”
Wang Qingchen was not completely convinced. The tools of the wizard tribe were taken out by his father and were refined using the methods passed down by the wizard tribe’s ancestor with no exceptions made.
“Come with me, let’s make another arrangement and give Nitian Hanxing a big surprise.”
In the Black Forest, somewhere in the woods…
Groups of black and gloomy troops were quietly and stealthily moving through the forest, without disturbing the nearby live spirits.
The soldiers’ faces were full of fortitude, and their actions were decisive and orderly, showing that they were well-trained.
In the army, there was a young man dressed in a glamorous outfit and had a dark complexion. He was moving neither too fast nor too slow and had an intimidating demeanor. He gave off the impression that he was above everything in this world.
He was Nitian Hanxing.
At that moment, a bird clad in flames flew through the void and appeared directly in front of Nitian Hanxing.
“Protect!” The guard shouted.
Nitian Hanxing reprimanded, “What’s the panic? This is a secret communication technique dedicated to the royal family.”
Crushing the flying bird in one fell swoop, messages burst out from it and landed in the ears of Nitian Hanxing.
After receiving the messages, Nitian Hanxing looked towards the sky and smiled, “Su Yu? I really can’t underestimate you. You actually managed to deduce the reason why Fan Capital had fallen and predicted that I am now carrying out a surprise attack on Sheng Capital!”
“It’s a pity that I do not intend to use the same strategy twice. I am afraid that your plan to ambush me will all turn to nothing!” Nitian Hanxing sneered. “You think that the underground passage is the only way to break into Sheng Capital? What a mistake! ”
“Hahaha, after all, I am one step ahead of you. Su Yu, you shall witness how I destroy the Sheng Capital and capture you alive!” Nitian Hanxing looked up and laughed.
After the army left, two heads surfaced at the peak of some dark mountain.
These two people were scared away when they were stationed in the Black Forest to kill Su Yu.
They were General White Face and Guo Cheng.
Between them, four Supreme Destroyer Cannons had been snatched away from General White Face by Su Yu.
After these two men’s troops defected, they ended up in the vast Lost Nation. It was probably because they were headed in the same direction and therefore they met each other by chance.
Because they were in the same boat, the two joined forces together.
Now they had an army of thousands and also possessed four Supreme Destroyer Cannons.
The two of them went out to gather news and unexpectedly discovered that the army of Nitian Hanxing was sneaking through the black forest straight in the direction of Sheng Capital.
“Pssh… It’s the commander-in-chief!” The General White Face’s face suddenly turned pale, as he still had a lingering fear of the brutal commander.
Guo Cheng could not help but swallow his saliva hard, speaking resentfully, “Why are you still calling him the commander? Do you think you can ever go back to him?”
General White Face said, “That would be a mistake! Ever since I defected, I knew I couldn’t go back. With his character, I would suffer a miserable end.”
“That’s the way!” Guo Cheng said in a hateful tone. “We are afraid to return home because of Nitian Hanxing. We can only hide in the deep mountains or the old forests of the Lost Nation. We have to battle fearsome beasts and people from the wizard tribe, causing our numbers to gradually reduce. Sooner or later, we will become exhausted and die in the Lost Nation. ”
They had planned to start a new chapter in life in the Lost Nation, but soon discovered the cruelty of reality.
The Black Forest was extremely dangerous, far more than the God Realm.
For example, earlier, they had encountered two, level- three, beasts and they lost more than three hundred soldiers immediately.
If they continued on in this manner, they would all die sooner or later.
General White Face shifted his gaze and said, “Why don’t we seek refuge in Sheng Capital of the wizard tribe? The kid named Su Yu got himself quite a reputation while mixing with the wizard tribe. There’s no reason we can’t do it as well, right?”
Guo Cheng’s eyes lit up and pondered, “It is definitely feasible, but Su Yu was taken in by them because he was jointly wanted by the four great empires. If we seek refuge with them, will they trust us?”
General White-faced smiled sneakily, “How is that difficult? What if we inform the Wizard Tribe about the intelligence we gathered about the invasion of Nitian Hanxing’s army?”
After hearing his suggestions, Guo Cheng lit up and his face beamed with joy.
His intuition told him that this method would work!
After thinking for a while, Guo Cheng said, “That is not enough. If we can, we should capture some important people and hand them over to the Wizard Tribe together, so the chances of winning their trust will be even higher.”
General White Face said, “Oh? Important people… There are not many important people around Nitian Hanxing.”
Guo Cheng smiled unfathomably, “Hehe, that you do not know. Recently, Nitian Hanxing married a woman, and she is an absolute beauty. Now she is on her way to the military camp. I am the one that was arranging the route to escort her in. Provided nothing goes wrong, they should be at Cangtou Mountain. If we intercept them now, the timing will be just right! ”
General White Face was not surprised by the news. It was no secret that Nitian Hanxing was lustful.
It was not the first time that his brides were escorted into the military camp. Every once in a while, there would be brides sent in from the God Realm.
However, recently, he heard that this bride was different. Not only was her appearance mesmerizing, but her identity was also special.
“Okay! Let’s just do it, Guo Cheng exclaimed. We will capture his bride and present her to the Wizard Tribe.” General White Face immediately agreed, and the two turned back and went straight towards Cangtou Mountain.
