After the Xuanjian Sect army captured these Blood Shadow Alliance vassal states, they did not send troops to occupy these vassal states. Instead, they let the Dark Night Battalion deploy in secret.
Because if it is an open occupation, it will be necessary to send a large army to station, which will become a living target.
Without the protection of the Formation Hero City, Xuanjian Sect's current military strength is still unable to compete with the Blood Shadow Alliance's army.
Although the Xuanjian Sect's army is no weaker than the Blood Shadow Alliance's army on the frontal battlefield, it is still far behind in terms of strength.
The Blood Shadow Alliance has hundreds of superior vassal states alone. Each of the superior vassal states has a small number of four to five million troops, and a large number of nearly one million troops.
There are hundreds of superior vassal states with a combined military strength of no less than tens of millions.
Although it is impossible for all of these tens of millions of troops to press on the front line of Songtao Kingdom, even if one-tenth of them were separated, the pressure on Xuanjian Sect would be extremely great.
Xuanjian Sect's current official military strength in each major military camp is only 300,000. Even if the reserve battalions A and B are added with 200,000 troops each, the total military strength is only 700,000, which is still far from the strength of the Blood Shadow Alliance.
There's no comparison.
If they were to defend the city, relying on Wanshi City's powerful formations and ambushing them halfway, they would still be able to barely fight against the Blood Shadow Alliance.
However, if you disperse your forces to garrison the captured upper-tier vassal states of the Blood Shadow Alliance, it is basically the same as seeking death.
Therefore, after the Xuanjian Sect's army captured the five superior vassal states, Chu Jianqiu in white clothes immediately withdrew the other armies from these captured vassal states in addition to letting the Dark Night Battalion deploy in secret.
They serve as a buffer for the battlefield, rather than consolidating them into the territory of the Xuanjian Sect.
With these five superior vassal states as a buffer, Xuanjian Sect's strategic depth has been greatly increased.
Many times the battlefield is no longer set within Songtao Kingdom, but takes place within the territory of these five vassal states.
Among the five superior vassal kingdoms that were captured by the Xuanjian Sect, they included the Youliang Kingdom and the Chibao Kingdom.
After conquering these two vassal states, Xuanjian Sect's territory was equivalent to bordering Ziguangxuan, one of the seven major sects of the Southern Continent Alliance.
The territory between Songtao Kingdom and Ziguangxuan was originally separated by Youliang Kingdom and Chibao Kingdom.
Now that the two vassal states of the Blood Shadow Alliance have been breached, it is equivalent to the territories between the Shangqing Sect, Riyuezhai and Ziguangxuan finally being connected. This can be said to be a huge benefit to Ziguangxuan.
information.
Ziguangxuan's geographical location among the seven major sects of the Southern Continent Alliance can be said to be the most embarrassing, being almost surrounded by the territory of the Blood Shadow Alliance.
To the east, south and west of Ziguangxuan are the territories of the Blood Shadow Alliance, while to the north is the Luofu Mountains.
During the war, Ziguangxuan was attacked on three sides.
Now Ziguangxuan is in the most difficult situation. More than a year since the war started, almost half of the territory within the territory has been captured by the Blood Shadow Alliance. If the Tuoyue Sect had not sent a large army to support it, Ziguangxuan would have been completely captured.
However, although the Tuoyue Sect sent a large army to support Ziguangxuan, the Tuoyue Sect itself was not having a hard time.
The Blood Shadow Alliance armies attacking Tuoyue Sect and Qiyao Palace are all the most elite first-class war corps of the Blood Shadow Alliance headquarters. These first-class elite armies are far more powerful than those attacking C-level vassal armies such as Xuanjian Sect.???.
Although Tuoyue Sect and Qiyao Palace were powerful, they were still retreating steadily under the attack of the Blood Shadow Alliance army.
In addition, the Nether Clan army that invaded Nanzhou has spread to all parts of Nanzhou after more than a year.
The Southern Continent Alliance has to resist both the invasion of the Blood Shadow Alliance army and the Nether Clan army, and is in an extremely difficult situation.
Regarding the Nether Clan, the Blood Shadow Alliance was just as Chu Jianqiu expected. The Blood Shadow Alliance indeed had a way to restrain the Nether Clan, and the Blood Shadow Alliance did not know what agreement it had reached with the Nether Clan.
The Nether Clan that originally invaded the territory of the Blood Shadow Alliance all turned around and attacked the Nanzhou Alliance and the Monster Clan.
In fact, the main force resisting the Nether Clan is still the Monster Clan. After all, the Endless Abyss is in the Luofu Mountains, and the Monster Clan's territory is mainly within the Luofu Mountains.
The Nether Clan spread from the Endless Abyss, and the first to invade was the Demon Clan.
However, it is precisely because of the resistance of the demon clan that the pressure on the Nanzhou Alliance is not too great. Otherwise, the Nanzhou Alliance may be defeated faster under the attack of the Blood Shadow Alliance and the Nether Clan.
In the entire Nanzhou situation, the only ones that can have the upper hand are the Songtao Kingdom guarded by the Xuanjian Sect and the Black Wind Ridge defense line guarded by the Shangqing Sect.
As for Riyuezhai, he was in a pretty good situation because of the influence of the Xuanjian Sect.
This is not to say that the Xuanjian Sect's strength has surpassed that of Riyue Zhai, but that the Xuanjian Sect has contained a large number of Blood Shadow Alliance troops on the front line of Wanshi City, greatly reducing the pressure on Riyue Zhai.
Of course, in terms of the strength of the Blood Shadow Alliance army that attacked Ri Yuezhai and Xuan Jian Sect, the Blood Shadow Alliance army that attacked Ri Yue Zhai was more ferocious.
The Blood Shadow Alliance army attacking Xuanjian Sect's Wanshi City were all C-level war corps from the Blood Shadow Alliance's vassal countries. However, the Blood Shadow Alliance army attacking Riyuezhai included A-level troops directly affiliated with the Blood Shadow Alliance headquarters.
War Department and Class B War Department, although the elites of these War Departments are far from comparable to those who attacked Tuoyue Sect and Qiyao Palace, they are still much stronger than those of Class B War Department that attacked Wanshi City.
After all, although Xuanjian Sect is powerful, it is not as huge as the seven major sects of the Southern Continent Alliance. At best, it is only a subordinate sect of Shangqing Sect, so the Blood Shadow Alliance does not pay much attention to Xuanjian Sect.
It was precisely this that gave Xuanjian Sect time to develop.
After more than a year of development, due to the war being carried out almost every day, the strength of Xuanjian Sect's major military camps has increased dramatically.
After more than a year of training on the battlefield, most of the soldiers in the Xuanjian Sect's reserve battalions A and B have been integrated into the major military camps of the Xuanjian Sect. These former recruits have officially become battlefield veterans.
Xuanjian Sect's regular military strength now exceeds 600,000, and reserve battalions A and B have each recruited 200,000 new troops. Xuanjian Sect's overall military strength has exceeded one million.
This is still a quantitative change, but the qualitative change is also huge.
Due to the massive resources Chu Jianqiu brought back from the secret realm and the various training facilities Chu Jianqiu arranged, a large number of people from the Xuanjian Sect broke through to new realms almost every day.
The Xuanjian Sect no longer lacks high-end combat power as before. It has no less than a hundred Tiangang realm warriors alone. The major generals of the Xuanjian Sect's army have already used Ninggang Dan to break through to the Tiangang realm.
