Chapter 647 Thousand Turtle Valley

In the Crimson Blood Legion's conference room, Ji Nanhong frowned, and the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.

In the past two months, the Crimson Blood Legion has attacked Thousand Turtle Valley three times, but has failed to capture it.

Without breaking through Thousand Turtle Valley, the Crimson Blood Legion's resources are limited, preventing them from advancing further.

It can be said that Thousand Turtle Valley is the key area that limits the development of the Crimson Blood Legion. If they cannot break through Thousand Turtle Valley, the Crimson Blood Legion can only maintain this size at most in the future, and it has now reached a bottleneck in its development.

Ji Nanhong's gaze swept across the faces of the various commanders and officers; she knew they had all done their best.

From strategy and tactics to command, on-the-spot performance and various details, they have done a pretty good job, and there is nothing to criticize.

The reason we couldn't take down Thousand Turtle Valley wasn't anything else, it was simply because we couldn't break through the defenses of the Nine Rock Old Turtle King of Thousand Turtle Valley.

The Nine Rocks Old Turtle King's defense was simply too strong. Even though Ji Nanhong had borrowed the Mysterious God-level armor-piercing artifact "Heavenly Hammer," he still couldn't break through the Nine Rocks Old Turtle King's defense.

If you can't break through the defenses, then all your efforts will be in vain.

The group has held numerous meetings to discuss the matter, but has yet to come up with any effective solutions.

"The only solution now is perhaps to rely on a combined attack technique. Maybe a combined attack technique with 100,000 soldiers can break through the Nine Rocks Old Turtle King's defense," Bai Yueguang said.

“That’s unrealistic. Not to mention that although our Crimson Blood Legion has 100,000 soldiers, a large portion of them are auxiliary troops. Even if all 100,000 soldiers were main combat troops, training them to perform combined arms combat as a 100,000-strong army would be extremely difficult and would require a lot of time to train. Without three to five years of training, it would be easy to fail,” Zhu Hongzhi retorted.

Bai Yueguang naturally knew that the more humans there were, the harder it would be to control the combined attack technique and the easier it would be to fail.

On the battlefield, achieving a multi-person combined attack is generally limited to 10,000 people; fewer than 1,000 are easier to control. Combined attacks involving more than 10,000 people become increasingly difficult due to the sheer number of participants, the lack of timely unified command, the varying reaction times of individual soldiers, and the absence of extensive training, making failure quite common.

In the battle of the Silent City, the demons had an army of 200,000. The reason they divided their forces into formations of 10,000 men was that it was too difficult to control a combined attack technique for an army of more than 10,000 men, and the failure rate was too high.

There is only one exception: if Fujina Rei is the commander, she only needs a short period of training to complete the combined attack of hundreds of thousands or even millions of troops, and the success rate will be just as high.

That's her natural talent; others can't learn it even if they want to. There's nothing that can be done about it.

The Crimson Blood Legion lacks such talent. Even Shi Zhimen, currently the best commander, cannot train a combined attack legion of 100,000 men in a short period of time.

Bai Yueguang knew very well that she said this because there was no other way.

"Have you considered inviting a master who can break through the Nine Rocks Old Turtle's defenses to help us open up Thousand Turtle Valley?" Zhang Yujian asked thoughtfully.

Ji Nanhong had also considered this issue, but deciding who to invite was a problem.

The Nine Rocks Old Turtle King's defense is so terrifying that even the strongest commander of the Crimson Blood Legion couldn't break it with his Sky Hammer. Who else could they turn to?
Moreover, the Heavenly Court Army is now keeping a close eye on the Crimson Blood Legion, to see if Ji Nanhong can lead the Crimson Blood Legion to even greater heights.

Going to other corps to provide rescue now would be tantamount to telling others that Ji Nanhong is no good.

“I recommend someone. If he were to wield the Heaven-Shattering Hammer, there would be a high chance he could break through the Nine Rocks Old Turtle King’s defenses and kill him,” Zhang Yujian said.

"Who is Commander Zhang referring to?" Ji Nanhong asked. "That person is not one of our Heavenly Court Army's men." Zhang Yujian naturally understood Ji Nanhong's predicament, and he was very thoughtful: "That person is called Huang Tianming, nicknamed Southern Overlord. You all must have heard of him, right?"

Everyone present had naturally heard of the name Nan Batian.

This name is quite famous in Tianzhu Baoji Xuantian, a typical example of one person ruling one country.

There are many humans inside the cave, and sometimes many cultivators will stay in the cave for many years, or even never return to the Divine Continent.

Most people build cities within the grotto-heavens, but some choose to establish their own kingdoms in areas within the grotto-heavens that are not particularly noticed by major families.

Such kingdoms are not uncommon in the grotto-heavens; it can be said that every grotto-heaven has one.

While they are called kingdoms, most of these so-called kingdoms are actually only a city in terms of their sphere of influence, or even just a small city with a population of less than 10,000.

Most of those who declared themselves kings were nothing more than local tyrants.

Of course, there are also some kingdoms with populations exceeding one million, and those kingdoms are also incredibly powerful.

Tianzhu Baoji Xuantian is an area jointly developed by the Qin family and the Heavenly Court Army. Because the sovereignty is not clear, in addition to the Qin family and the Heavenly Court Army, some humans have also developed here, forming a third-party force, namely those many small kingdoms.

Huang Tianming was the king of one of the kingdoms, nicknamed the Southern Overlord.

Huang Tianming's kingdom is not large, just a city with a population of about 100,000, but Huang Tianming's strength is well-known here.

When the Qin family wanted to recruit Huang Tianming as their disciple, they sent a top-tier sixth-sense expert to challenge Huang Tianming to a duel.

At that time, Huang Tianming only had one sentence: If anyone in the Qin family could withstand one of his hammer blows without backing down, he would immediately bring his kingdom to join the Qin family.

As a result, none of the seven members of the Qin family could withstand Huang Tianming's hammer blow. The domineering power of his hammer is still talked about to this day.

Because Huang Tianming named his kingdom the Southern Heaven Kingdom, he earned the nickname "Southern Overlord."

Zhang Yujian continued, "I have some acquaintance with Nan Batian; we've known each other since our fathers' generation. If the Legion Commander thinks it's feasible, I can try to persuade Nan Batian to come and help us. If possible, it would be best to convince him to join our Crimson Blood Legion. However, this might be a bit difficult, and I can't guarantee success."

"This is the only way now, so I'm leaving everything to you, Jade Slip." Ji Nanhong had no other options, and this was the best solution at the moment.

“Alright, then I’ll head to the Southern Heaven Kingdom right away. Although I can’t guarantee that Huang Tianming will join our Crimson Blood Legion, having him come and help out shouldn’t be a big problem. But we still need to give him the proper compensation.” Zhang Yujian knew Huang Tianming quite well, after all, they grew up together, so he should still have some face to give him.

After the meeting, Ji Nanhong dragged herself back to her room, looking somewhat tired.

Since arriving at the grotto, she has been like a machine running 24/7, hardly taking a break. She is holding her breath, working hard to become stronger and managing her army, hoping to grow up quickly and truly take over the Heavenly Army.

She couldn't let Chen Guanbai die; she had already remembered this debt and was determined to get revenge.
