"That's a good plan. We concentrate our main force, lure the troops from those Light Faction battalions here, and then wipe them all out in one go. Saves time and effort!" A nearby Dark Faction expert roared with laughter.
"The puny Light Faction actually wants to stop our Dark Faction army? Pure wishful thinking! I've slaughtered a huge number of Light Faction members lately, including their Earth Immortal experts. They are all incredibly weak, practically no match at all!" Another Dark Faction expert laughed wildly.
"No more talk. It seems like some Light Faction troops are approaching in the distance. We'll lie low for now and hold our ground against them. Once enough Light Faction members have gathered, then we make our move!" Suddenly, one Dark Faction member made a shushing gesture and spoke in a low voice.
Upon this, all these Dark Faction experts quieted down, their cold, distant gazes fixed on the distant Chaotic Void.
Rumble...
Within the Chaotic Void far away, a large contingent of Light Faction troops surged forward.
"Troops of the 19th Battalion of the Light Faction have come to aid our brothers of the 26th Battalion in dealing with these Dark Faction bastards!" A thunderous roar rolled across the void, reverberating through this stretch of spacetime.
In moments, the batch of Light Faction troops arrived and faced off against the Dark Faction forces. The atmosphere instantly grew tense. This group belonged to the 19th Battalion.
"Commander Wan, what's the plan? Do we attack now?" An elder of the 19th Battalion whispered to a tall, imposing old man.
This tall elder was none other than Commander Wan, leader of the 19th Battalion. Upon receiving the distress signal from the 26th Battalion, he had immediately mobilized his troops to come to their aid.
"Let's wait a moment. I'm contacting Commander Cang of the 26th Battalion right now. Once we fully understand their current situation, we'll decide. The overall strength of these Dark Faction forces seems substantial; they have twenty Earth Immortal experts. Relying solely on our 19th Battalion's strength might not be enough to defeat them." Commander Wan frowned slightly after using his Soul Power to sense the Dark Faction troops ahead.
Although the 19th Battalion's strength was not weak, they only had slightly over a dozen Earth Immortals themselves. Fighting this particular Dark Faction force might prove insufficient. Thus, Commander Wan took out his Message Jade Slip and began communicating with Commander Cang of the 26th Battalion.
At this moment, within the base of the 26th Battalion, over a dozen high-ranking officers gathered in a palace, all of them silent.
Seated at the head was Commander Cang, leader of the 26th Battalion. This world was the core base of the 26th Battalion, where its main leadership and primary forces normally resided and cultivated. However, right now, this core base was completely surrounded by Dark Faction forces.
"The 19th Battalion has arrived!" Suddenly, Commander Cang's expression shifted. He took out a Message Jade Slip, perceived its contents, and spoke.
"Commander Cang, besides the 19th Battalion, which other battalions did you request aid from?" an officer of the 26th Battalion nearby asked.
"I sent out distress signals to the leaders of nearly all the battalions. However, I don't know how many of them will actually send reinforcements. After all, many battalions are themselves in precarious situations, trapped by the Dark Faction just like our 26th Battalion. Furthermore, several battalions have already been annihilated." Commander Cang thought for a moment before speaking.
Hearing Commander Cang's words, the other officers of the 26th Battalion fell into a momentary silence. They all understood the current situation was extremely unfavorable for the Light Faction.
"Let's wait a little longer. We'll act once we have enough people. No need to rush." Commander Cang declared.
Meanwhile, outside in the Chaotic Void, the 19th Battalion's troops were still engaged in a standoff with the Dark Faction forces.
"I've received Commander Cang's message! According to him, besides our 19th Battalion, several other battalions are also on their way. Commander Cang advises us to wait until the other battalions assemble, gather our forces together, and then join forces to deal with these Dark Faction members!" Commander Wan suddenly announced.
"In that case, we'll wait. Gathering all forces from the other battalions to concentrate our strength against this Dark Faction group is indeed a better approach." Upon hearing Commander Wan's words, several core officers of the 19th Battalion voiced their agreement.
Thus, the 19th Battalion troops refrained from hasty action, continuing their standoff with the Dark Faction forces.
Not long after...
Rumble...
From the Chaotic Void in the distance, another contingent of troops surged forward.
"The 23rd Battalion has come to help our brothers of the 26th Battalion face the enemy together!" A great shout rolled across the void.
So this batch of troops belonged to the Light Faction's 23rd Battalion! Soon, the troops of the 23rd and the 19th Battalions assembled together, jointly confronting the Dark Faction forces.
Before long, the forces of the Light Faction's 25th Battalion, 26th Battalion, and 18th Battalion arrived one after the other.
Thus, within this stretch of Chaotic Void, troops from five Light Faction battalions had gathered. Combined with the troops of the 26th Battalion currently encircled nearby, there were effectively troops from six battalions present here!
"Everyone, with six battalions of our Light Faction gathered here now, I believe we can take action! Counting all our Earth Immortal experts together, we're already approaching fifty! Add to that the Earth Immortal experts inside the 26th Battalion, and the number of Earth Immortal experts on our side exceeds fifty. Let's get started! Eliminate all these Dark Faction troops, and Headquarters will surely credit our battalions with a major achievement!" Commander Wan of the 19th Battalion assessed the comparative strength of both sides, then used Sound Transmission to address the leaders of the other battalions. His 19th Battalion had waited here the longest, being the first to arrive.
"Good! Prepare to attack! With the war situation so critical, we can't afford to waste too much time here. We need to wipe out this Dark Faction group quickly and move on to deal with other threats." Another battalion leader nodded.
"Very well. Let's begin. We have the forces of five or six battalions here; our collective strength is already sufficient." The leaders of the other battalions all nodded in agreement.
Thus, upon the orders of these battalion leaders, the forces of several battalions made ready to attack.
"Hehe... Excellent. We've lured five Light Faction battalions here. That's almost enough. Prepare to attack." At this moment, within the Dark Faction camp, one of their experts sneered coldly.
"Good! Let's start! I've been itching for a fight!" The other Dark Faction experts also nodded in agreement.
