The main battlefields of the Five Continents Alliance and the Immortal Alliance are in Danxia Sect, Seven Swords Sect and Baiyun Sect. The combined number of monks from both sides exceeds 30 million.
Among the three battlefields, the Immortal Alliance only had an advantage over the Baiyun Sect, but this advantage could not defeat the Five Continents Alliance army dominated by Penglai. Therefore, after the defeat of the Danxia Sect and the Seven Swordsmen battlefield and their retreat, the Baiyun Sect's battlefield
The Immortal Alliance monks also retreated.
The frontline of the Immortal Alliance retreated about five thousand miles and re-established its defense line along Wanzhoumen, Jiangyangmen, and Guiyi Sect. The Five Continents Alliance continued to station troops for the confrontation, preparing to make some adjustments and continue the violent attack.
Seven days later, the casualties of the battle between the two sides have been basically calculated. On the battlefield of Danxia Sect, the Immortal Alliance lost 80% of its warships. Only less than fifty warships escaped, and all of them were injured. The number of troops and horses was more than 2 million.
, more than 1.5 million people died in the battle, and the rest were captured or missing and scattered.
The casualties on the Five Continent Alliance side were close to one million, with more than 80 battleships left, and thousands of miles of territory reduced to ruins. Although the mortals had been evacuated, the casualties were also extremely heavy.
On the Seven Swords Gate battlefield, the Immortal Alliance suffered even greater losses. They did not retreat under the command of the commander, but were defeated directly. More than two million people were killed directly, and 500,000 horses were captured, missing or scattered. Wait until Jade Immortal
After the gate gained a foothold at Jiangyang Gate, the number of troops gathered was only half of the previous number, and there were tens of thousands of seriously injured people among them.
What's extremely miserable is that they don't even have enough medical elixirs for treatment, so they can only rely on the monks to survive. If they survive, they will live, and if they can't, they will die. Hundreds of people die in mourning every day, and morale is extremely low.
.
The Five Continents Alliance in the direction of Seven Swords Gate also had more than 800,000 casualties, and there were also a large number of seriously injured people. The Five Continents Alliance had stronger financial resources, and most of the seriously injured people were still hanging on. As for whether they could recover, and whether it would affect the road.
, then it’s hard to say.
The Baiyun Sect battlefield had the fewest casualties. The Immortal Alliance only lost less than 500,000 horses, and Penglai suffered slightly more, not more than 600,000.
The total number of casualties on both sides in the three battlefields exceeded 7.5 million. The death rate in almost all previous wars was close to one year. In the ten years of war, the human monks lost more than 16 million people, equivalent to half of the East.
The continent's men and horses, and countless high-level monks have died, countless resources, and the vitality of the human race has been severely damaged.
But even so, both sides have no intention of stopping. With so many people killed and injured, the Immortal Alliance and the Five Continents Alliance have become irresolvable of their hatred. Only the complete destruction of one party will be the end.
Both sides have stationed troops on the front line, deploying troops, accumulating supplies, and preparing for the next round of decisive battle. The powerful foundation of the Five Continents Alliance is beginning to come into play, while the stretched finances of the Immortal Alliance are beginning to collapse. They can no longer produce much combat supplies.
Magical weapons, spiritual talismans, and mysterious crystals are all in critical condition, and their storage is dangerously low.
·······
On the Yunxiao Sect battlefield, when a peerless battle broke out between the Immortal Alliance and the Five Continent Alliance, the Nanzhou Alliance did not stop. Lin Xiao, who had been preparing for a month, began to attack.
However, Lin Xiao's attack was loud with loud thunder and light rain. Lin Xiao used old tactics, using battleships and black crystal cannons to bombard the opponent's camp or Lingshan, while his troops were on the defensive.
This kind of offensive made Kunlun dissatisfied, but Lin Xiao didn't care about them at all. Lin Xiao analyzed the situation and found that the Immortal Alliance was by no means a match for the Five Continents Alliance. The Northern Front would collapse sooner or later, and the Southern Continent Alliance simply didn't want to make such a fearless sacrifice.
Bombarding with Xuanjing cannons and warships can consume the opponent's remaining Xuanjing. When their Xuanjing is completely consumed, Nanzhou will win without a fight.
"Leader Lin, urgent report from Kunlun. Ancestor Lu hopes that Leader Lin can break through the Yunxiao Sect's defense line. At that time, it will be fine either to approach the Tianxuan Sect or to go south to rescue the Qingyang Sect."
"Reply to Ancestor Lu, the Yunxiao Sect's front line defense is strong, but Nanzhou is unable to defeat the enemy."
"Yes, Leader Lin, Patriarch Lu asked us to move the warships to the north again. How should we respond?"
"Replying to Ancestor Lu, the cultivation level of the monks in the Nanzhou army is generally low and their offensive capabilities are insufficient. If the warships are transferred, they may be defeated by the Yunxiao Sect."
"Yes, Leader Lin"
"Ancestor Lu's third request is for us to dispatch a batch of resources from Nanzhou, especially Xuanjing. The opening price is three billion."
"Replying to Ancestor Lu, the Nanzhou Xuanjing itself is not enough. I still hope that Ancestor Lu will support one or two. However, Nanzhou's elixir has been harvested and can support 50,000 materials for first- and second-level healing elixirs."
Lin Xiao publicly responded to Lu Leiyuan at the Nanzhou high-level meeting. He wanted to attack. I'm sorry, but I don't have the ability. He wanted a battleship. Sorry, no.
Batch, give me 50,000 copies, and refine the elixir yourself.
As for Lin Xiao's decision, no one in the top management of Nanzhou objected. Even people like Ma Langfei, who had lived in Kunlun for thousands of years, did not dare to express it because the people of Nanzhou were afraid.
Under the leadership of Lin Xiao, the Nanzhou army was invincible. Before, everyone in the Nanzhou army had a somewhat arrogant attitude, thinking that they were still very powerful. But as soon as the data of the decisive battle in the north of Central Continent came out, everyone shut up.
In just a few days of war, more than 7 million people on both sides were killed, which was more than three times the number of the Nanzhou army. No matter which battlefield the Nanzhou army entered, there was a danger of annihilation. Only then did they really see
Understand the difference between Southern Continent and Central Continent. If 7 million people in Southern Continent are killed in the war, the entire Southern Continent will collapse.
Therefore, they were extremely grateful to Lin Xiao for being able to withstand Kunlun's pressure, refuse to implement Kunlun's plan, and preserve the vitality of the Nanzhou army.
"Okay, Kunlun's order has been replied. It's time for us to talk about our own affairs. Our Southern Continent Alliance is not a subordinate of the Five Continents Alliance. We don't have to obey all their orders, but we must have a bottom line.
That is, the overall situation must not be ruined.
The situation before the war was that the Immortal Alliance plus Dongzhou troops had a main force of more than 10 million. Now they have lost more than 5 million troops. The entire situation has fallen behind. However, they still have an absolute advantage on the front line of Qingyang Sect.
Wenxian Sect was also unable to truly defeat Ziyun Temple because of its support to Qingyang Sect.
So our Nanzhou Alliance has become the variable that dominates the battlefield again. We have many choices. The first choice is to break through the Yunxiao Sect's defense line, eliminate the main forces of Yunxiao Sect and Tianxiao Sect, and attack Xuanyang City of Tianxuan Sect. Now
There are not many people in Xuanyang City. We only need 800,000 people to surround Xuanyang City. The remaining people will go south to harass the back roads of Qixing Pavilion and relieve Qingyang Sect.
The second option is to maintain the current situation. We directly send a large army from Shenmu Sect southward to defeat Ziyun Temple. Although Ziyun Temple still has more than two million people, there are not many high-level monks left. Even our Nanzhou
We are not as good as our own. We can easily join forces with Wenxian Sect to defeat Ziyun Temple. What do you think of these two options?"
"Leader Lin, choose whichever option is more beneficial."
"Yes, Leader Lin, we don't have any objections, we just listen to you."
"Haha, you can't listen to me alone. No matter how talented Lin is, he is not omnipotent. We still need to work together and discuss together."
"Leader Lin, what are the pros and cons of these two options? Tell everyone about them so that we can make a more favorable choice."
"Yunshuang, I'll give you a chance to show off."
"Ah, that..."
"If you don't want to say it, then I'll replace you."
"No, no, no, I'll come, I'll come. Ancestors, please listen to what Yun Shuang says. The advantage of the first strategy is that we can quickly cut off the Immortal Alliance and disrupt its retreat. Ninety percent of the Immortal Alliance's power is in the Ten Thousand
Zhoumen and Jiangyangmen are one and the same. The strength in the hinterland is extremely empty. Even for a huge city like Xuanyang City, the guards are only about 200,000 men and less than half of them are elite. We can end the war faster.
.
But the disadvantage is that we need to fight hard in Nanzhou. The main forces of Yunxiao Sect and Tianxiao Sect are in front of us. If we want to advance to Xuanyang City, we must go through five rounds of hard battles. The first round is the Yunxiao Sect's defense line in front of us, and the defense line behind us is
The four circles are respectively the mountain gates of Yunxiao Sect and Tianxiao Sect, as well as the major cities under their command. Our Nanzhou troops will definitely pay a heavy price, with casualties estimated to be no less than 500,000 to 600,000.
As for the second strategy, its advantage is that it is easy for us to fight. Ziyun Temple will never be able to stop our army, and we can easily defeat them.
The disadvantage is that our elimination of Ziyun Temple is of little significance to the entire war. Ziyun Temple is unable to participate in the war and is no longer within the consideration of the Immortal Alliance. It will take at least three months for our army to come back.
In three months, we will be unable to participate in the subsequent war, and after the war, the interests of Suyu Sect, Tianxuan Sect and other sects will not have much to do with us."
Bu Yunshuang's analysis was very accurate. Everyone fell into deep thought after listening to it. This was a dilemma decision, with small benefits and small risks, and big benefits and big risks.
"Ma Laozu, aren't you going to say something?"
"Leader Lin, I personally think it is better to implement the first strategy. End the war as soon as possible and let us go home as soon as possible."
Ma Langfei said bravely, he didn't dare to say the real reason. The first strategy was actually beneficial to Kunlun and allowed them to kill many fewer people. But in this way, the people who died would become Nanzhou
Yes, he didn't dare to say this. Once he said it, the Nanzhou monks would deal with him, because this was an act of betrayal of Nanzhou's interests.
"Where is your personal sanity?"
"The logical thing to do is to attack Ziyun Temple. You have to pick the weak ones. Ziyun Temple is the weakest now. If you don't hit him, who will you hit?"
"Laozu Ma said it well, Alliance Leader Lin, I have thought about it and I support the fight against Ziyun Temple."
"Me too"
"Leader Lin, let me tell you the truth. Su Yu Sect and the others have a lot of interests, but there are also many people who want to divide them up. When the time comes, there will be some pushback. If Ziyun Temple is to be defeated, only we and Wenxian Sect will share it. Short answer
If there are too many, our strength in Southern Continent is not enough to compete with the people from the Five Continents Alliance. What do you think?"
"Very good. Now that everyone agrees, let's talk about going south to attack Ziyun Temple."
Lin Xiao laughed and said that Lin Xiao was manipulating the meeting. In fact, he did not want to enter the meat grinder battlefield of the Immortal League at all. Attacking Ziyun Temple was his real purpose.
