Hearing the words of the middle-aged man in golden robe:
"Ah……"
The bald old man sneered, picked up a sunspot, but did not drop it in a hurry:
"You are right. Victory and defeat are common matters in military affairs. In the past years, our disciples of the Immortal Sect have suffered great defeats."
"But this time, you colluded with the devils of the Sacred Heart Sect, plotted against each other, and broke the tacit understanding between our two families!"
"Crack!"
The bald old man made such heavy moves that the stone table and chessboard shook slightly, and hundreds of chess pieces jumped:
"It's hard for you to cross half of the Eastern Wasteland and secretly contact the Sacred Heart Sect far to the northwest!"
"About this matter, the Demon Emperor has to give me an explanation, right?"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man in golden robe had a smile on his face. He casually picked up a white stone and dropped it, and responded:
"Fellow Taoist has misunderstood."
"This time, it was the devils from the Sacred Heart Sect who came here first, and it was just the junior who came forward to win over them by promising huge profits. How could there be any collusion between the two families?"
The bald old man narrowed his eyes and said slowly:
"The calamity is coming, but it's not here yet! There's no need to use this little probing method to make people laugh."
"Does the Demon King think that since our Chunyang Immortal Sect has to go all out to deal with the demonic calamity, we can't spare our energy to focus on Luofu Daze and can let you do whatever you want?"
After hearing this, the middle-aged man in golden robe finally changed his expression slightly and his smile faded.
"...What do fellow Taoists think?"
He was silent for a moment and then asked in a nonchalant manner.
"It's very simple."
The bald old man said expressionlessly:
"The Demon King needs to make a Taoist oath. From then on, the demon clan in Luofu Daze will not have any contact with the Demon Sect for a hundred years."
"In this way, after I return to the mountain gate, I can also give instructions to the master."
When the middle-aged man in golden robe heard this, his expression suddenly darkened.
When their cultivation has reached their level, their every move and every move has the power of great supernatural powers, and ordinary magical contracts have long been ineffective.
There is a treasure "Tianxingtai" in the Punishment Hall of Chunyang Immortal Sect. The notarized legal deed can restrain even the elders of the three halls and six halls of the gate, but it cannot restrain those with great supernatural powers and the Demon Emperor.
Only the Dao Heart Oath, once it is sworn and broken, will bear the consequences of great consequences. If the Dao Heart is lacking, there will be no hope of further progress in life. No one will break the Dao Heart Oath unless they are desperate and cut off from the path.
But he couldn't easily agree to the conditions of the person in front of him.
Not to mention the future, even the current Luofu Daze lineage has obscure and secret connections with the four major demon sects. If they really want to agree, they must cut them off.
But if I don’t agree, I’m afraid I won’t even be able to pass the current level. Before the Chunyang Immortal Sect can deal with the demonic calamity, I’m afraid they will do their best to deal with the demon clan of their Luofu Daze lineage...
"...How about you let me think about it for a few days?"
The middle-aged man in golden robe was silent for a while, then slowly said:
"The current battle situation cannot be ended in just a few days. It is better to limit it to the day when the dust of this situation settles."
The bald old man frowned. He also knew that when faced with the demon clan of Luofu Daze, he should not push too hard, so he said:
"Okay, then I will accept the Demon Emperor's request."
When he said these words, he also sighed secretly in his heart.
He is also well aware of the situation on the Luofu Daze battlefield. If there are no accidents, I am afraid that the Chunyang Immortal Sect will end in failure this time.
The devil's calamity is about to break out, but the sect suffers such a defeat, which is not a good sign.
…………
Luofu Daze, command headquarters.
The center of the dozens of cave magical artifacts is the "Tianhong Palace" contributed by the Tianhong Battle Group.
The Tianhong Palace covers an area of tens of feet. It is a spiritual-level cave treasure with unimaginable value. It was carried by Su Mo and used as the core of the command headquarters.
With the protection of this important treasure, even if the frontal battlefield was severely defeated, the many inner disciples would be sure to protect at least hundreds of people and escape without damaging the Chunyang Immortal Sect.
now:
The leaders of the seven outer sect war regiments and several inner sect disciples were gathering together. The atmosphere in the hall was very silent.
In addition to the people present, there was also a screen of light gathered by precious mirrors that separated light and transformed into shadows. On it were the figures of the inner disciples guarding various secondary strongholds, each with a solemn expression.
"……call."
Su Mo took a deep breath and said slowly:
"This great defeat was all because we were unaware and fell into the demon clan's scheme, so we found ourselves in a dilemma. It also affected many junior brothers and sisters on the rear front."
"But this war is not really over yet, we still have a chance to turn defeat into victory!"
His eyes swept across the crowd and the spectroscopic shadows on the treasure mirror's light screen, and he said in a deep voice:
"If you have any good ideas, please feel free to ask!"
After his words fell, the hall was silent for a long time, no one spoke rashly.
Looking back at this battle, we can find that there were no problems with their decision-making from beginning to end. It may not be called a brilliant plan, but it was quite satisfactory and there were no omissions.
But the bad thing is the gap in intelligence. They don't know that the other party has a trump card that can secretly destroy the temporary stronghold formation, so that they fall into a passive situation where they are calculated. One careless move and everything is lost.
Two hours ago:
When the decisive battle broke out on the frontal battlefield, everyone sent a message and ordered the disciples stationed in each small stronghold to break out immediately and retreat towards the command headquarters.
But even the most costly letter from the Flying Sword may not have been successfully delivered when the demons were rioting and in chaos. Not to mention that under the situation at that time, it actually made little difference whether there was such an order.
Although the results have not yet been calculated, it does not take much to know that this time they must have suffered heavy losses in manpower in various small strongholds, and the price they paid is not small.
"Why……"
Zhang Zhenyu, the leader of the Rainbow Chapter, couldn't help but sigh secretly when he saw everyone was silent.
Although Su Mo's words are good, their battle is not really over yet, but when it comes to strategy, they have actually been defeated because the losses were too heavy!
More importantly - in a hurry, who can think of a way to turn defeat into victory?
If they make a stupid move in panic, their slim chances of winning may be completely wiped out.
"Junior brothers and sisters, could it be that you came up with a strategy rashly and then took the blame when it failed?"
Su Mo looked at everyone again, and his tone was firm:
"Don't worry, everyone, we must win this battle. If you have any good ideas, please feel free to offer them."
"If the plan fails and ends up a complete failure, then all the responsibility will be borne by me!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was moved.
"Senior Brother Su, why are you doing this?"
"Yes, what Senior Brother Su said is that he underestimates me!"
"If we really want to talk about responsibility, we all have the responsibility!"
Many inner disciples spoke up and urged Su Mo to take back his words.
In this war, the strategic direction was jointly decided by the leaders of the major regiments and many inner disciples. The specific implementation was arranged by the leaders of the major groups. In terms of responsibility, no one could escape.
If Su Mo is to shoulder such a heavy responsibility alone, regardless of whether the higher-ups in the sect will agree, his reputation will be ruined first.
"Why……"
Seeing this, Su Mo shook his head and sighed heavily in his heart.
He has been a disciple of the inner sect for fifteen years, and his cultivation is only one step away from the fourth level of the Qi Palace Realm. He is the person with the deepest cultivation, the strongest strength, and the highest status among the many inner sect disciples present.
At the moment, the vision of many inner sect junior brothers and sisters is still limited to this war with Luofu Daze, but his vision is longer-term.
Although they suffered heavy losses in this battle and lost strategically, the final result must not be defeated!
"The devil's calamity is about to happen. Everyone inside and outside the sect must do their best to cope with the calamity!"
Thoughts flashed rapidly in Su Mo's heart:
"If this battle ends in a complete defeat, it will have a huge impact on the hearts of many new generation disciples of the outer sect!"
As long as the final result of this battle is a great victory, even if the losses are heavy, it can still make the new generation of disciples feel high and inspire their fighting spirit.
As long as the spirit remains strong, no matter how many disciples are killed or injured under the great waves and hardships, more talented people will stand out.
But if they face the Luofu Daze Demon Clan, who are usually ignored and regarded as prey, and end up with a complete defeat, then the morale and fighting spirit of the new generation of disciples will definitely suffer a severe setback, which will be extremely detrimental to dealing with the demonic calamity in the future.
It should be noted that the outbreak of the demonic calamity did not happen overnight. It will last for tens or even hundreds of years at least. The current group of new generation disciples are the pillars of the future. How can they lose their courage because of the battle of Luofu Daze? ?
Therefore, they can only win this battle, not lose. No matter how high the price is, they must reverse the situation!
"But the situation has deteriorated to this point, who can save it?!"
Even with Su Mo's determination, it was inevitable that he would feel a little confused at this moment.
In the first decisive battle on the frontal battlefield, the two sides were in a stalemate, but the Yao clan's strategic goal had been completed, and the next decisive battle would definitely be a battle that truly determined the outcome and life and death.
The losses suffered by Chunyang Immortal Sect were so great, and the impact on the morale of the army was even more serious. I am afraid that they may not even have a three-point chance of winning.
It's not that he doesn't have a way to reverse the situation, but after thinking about it, he's not very sure about any method. A bad move will lead to further deterioration of the situation.
"Captain!!"
In the silent main hall, an anxious voice suddenly came from outside the hall:
"I have something important to report!"
"Um?"
Zhang Zhenyu frowned and recognized the identity of the person from his voice. He was a member of the Rainbow Regiment and was responsible for staying at the headquarters.
This person has always been knowledgeable and would never interrupt for no reason at this time. It must be extremely important news.
"You come in quickly and report it in front of me and all the senior brothers!"
Zhang Zhenyu immediately spoke and responded.
A stocky young man hurriedly walked in outside the palace door. After a hurried salute, he quickly said:
"Brothers and sisters, please welcome me."
"During the battle just now, a flying sword message was sent to the command headquarters, but because the battle was so intense at the time, it was difficult to distract, so I just discovered it."
When he said this, he paused slightly and his tone became extremely solemn:
"This flying sword biography explains the truth about how many stronghold formations were suddenly broken!"
After the words fell, everyone was shocked!
