God of Pets

Chapter 773 Those who attain the Way receive much help.

Bo Yugu and the deputy commander-in-chief led the 24th Army Corps in an offensive against the Southern Heavenly Kingdom.

Their command and coordination abilities were clearly much worse than Xiu Jieming's.

After dawdling for a long time, many troops still failed to reach their designated positions.

After the order to attack the city was given, some troop formations even failed when using their combined attack skills.

This resulted in a very chaotic siege rhythm. Although the siege was carried out from all four sides, it was difficult to ensure that the various attacks were synchronized.

Two shots here, two shots there, the offensive that should have posed a great threat to the city's defenses of the Southern Heaven Kingdom failed to produce the expected results and was easily blocked by the defenses.

Bo Yugu and the others were all greatly troubled by what they saw. Leading troops into battle was not something that just anyone could do well.

Those who can command an army of millions are extremely rare.

Of course, the commander mentioned here refers to a commander who can truly bring a million-strong army to life, not just an officer who can issue orders.

"Damn it, the Heavenly Army is utterly rotten. Luckily, we didn't really count on them." Bo Yugu also knew that this couldn't be entirely blamed on the current deputy commander.

Firstly, he lacked prestige; secondly, recently, too many officers in the twenty-four corps had defected from the Heavenly Court Army, resulting in a lack of officers to handle many mid-level and grassroots tasks, leading to serious coordination problems.

This offensive exposed the serious problems currently facing the Heavenly Army.

But for Bo Yugu and his group, it was a lucky accident.

Bo Yugu thought to himself, "Seeing the Heavenly Army like this, Chen Guan and the others will probably be unable to resist launching a counterattack, right?"

He had originally planned to have the Heavenly Army feign exhaustion later, but now they don't even need to pretend anymore; they're truly a bunch of useless trash.

But after waiting for a while, despite the Heavenly Army's disorganized offensive, the Southern Heavenly Kingdom remained with its gates tightly shut, merely displaying its defensive walls and showing no intention of engaging in battle.

"Keep bombing, keep bombing, speed up the pace!" Bo Yugu ordered.

"If we continue to speed up, the soldiers' energy will not be able to keep up with the consumption, and when the Southern Heavenly Kingdom comes out to attack, it will be difficult to resist," the deputy commander-in-chief said.

"Do you think they can stop Chen Guan in their current state?" Bo Yugu sneered. "I'll take care of everything. Just do as I say. All we need to do is lure Chen Guan and his men out."

"Alright." The deputy commander simply ordered the pace of the siege to be accelerated.

As the pace of the siege accelerated, the Heavenly Army soldiers quickly ran out of energy, and the rotations became faster and faster. However, their combined attacks became weaker and weaker, and the failure rate became higher and higher.

Finally, thanks to the deliberate actions of Bo Yugu and his men, the gates of the Southern Heaven Kingdom were opened, and a force fought its way out.

"They've finally arrived." Bo Yugu sneered, "Chen Guan, you're still too young. There's no such thing as a free lunch. If you go into battle now, you're just courting death."

Chen Guan is very strong, but Zi Donglai is already known as invincible in the cave.

Furthermore, Chen Guan was ultimately all alone, relying entirely on the influence of the ten major families.

Now that Zi Donglai has emerged, coupled with the existence of the Ziyang Legion, it's likely that none of the ten major families would dare to oppose him.

If they offend Zi Donglai, their belongings in Pengxuan Cave Heaven will likely be confiscated by him.

The ten major families should be able to distinguish which is more important.

……

Huang Tianming stared wide-eyed at the armor in front of him, his expression as if he had seen a ghost.

"No... Grand Preceptor... Say it again... What did you just say... I think I'm hallucinating... I didn't hear clearly..." Chen Guan smiled and looked at Huang Tianming and said, "I'm having you put on this armor and play the role of Zi Donglai."

“Playing the role of Zi… Dong… Lai…” Huang Tianming felt his brain couldn’t keep up.

What happened next was somewhat surreal for Huang Tianming.

He donned armor and was taken by Chen Guan to the place where the Ziyang Legion was hiding. With the assistance of Teng Mingli, he became the master of the Ziyang Legion, Zi Donglai, who made the ten great families tremble with fear.

"I...you..." Huang Tianming looked at Chen Guan. He had a thousand words to say, but at this moment he didn't know what to say.

"You don't need to say anything, just do as Teng says. Remember, you're Zi Dong now. You don't need to worry about anything else, but you absolutely must have that domineering aura," Chen Guan said with a smile.

“Yes, yes, yes…so domineering…so domineering…” Huang Tianming nodded blankly, still as if in a dream.

"I'm leaving this to you," Chen Guan said to Teng Mingli, before quietly returning to Nantian Kingdom.

After witnessing the Heavenly Army's reckless actions, Chen Guan immediately gathered his forces and ordered his troops into battle.

Because many officers from the ten major families have come here, Chen Guan's subordinates can now be described as having a wealth of talent.

Jiang Tianqing, Ximen Ding, and Yun Bihua all came here. To Chen Guan's regret, Shi Zhimen, Leng Zhe, Bai Yueguang, and Zhu Hongzhi did not come along.

People come from different backgrounds, and there's nothing that can be done about it.

Shi Zhimen's family are all retired veterans of the Heavenly Court Army. Leng Zhe also came from the Heavenly Court Army. Not to mention Bai Yueguang and Zhu Hongzhi, Bai Yueguang has the background of the ancestral court, and Zhu Hongzhi is definitely with her.

Chen Guan led his troops out to attack, but he failed to achieve any real victory. As soon as he entered the fray, the Heavenly Army fled in terror.

Before Bo Yugu could even order a retreat, the soldiers fled faster than anyone else, and even their direct superiors directly ordered a retreat, completely disregarding any orders from above.

Bo Yugu sighed helplessly, worried about the current state of the Heavenly Army, but there was nothing he could do; it was not something he could control alone.

"Order Zi Donglai to attack." Bo Yugu gave the final order.

The flag bearers signaled, and soon the thunderous sound of horses' hooves could be heard from the side.

A heavily armed regiment, armed to the teeth, charged out from the flank of the battlefield. The moment the Purple Sun Banner appeared, it attracted the attention of both sides.

"The Ziyang Legion...that's the Ziyang Legion...how could they be here..." Both sides felt fear upon seeing the heavily armed legion.

The reputation of the Ziyang Corps is now extremely widespread within the cave.

Seeing that the Ziyang Corps had broken out from the flank and cut off Chen Guan's troops' way back to the city from the rear, Bo Yugu ordered the deputy commander-in-chief to regroup and join forces with Zi Donglai to attack Chen Guan's troops from both sides.

“Chen Guan…you traitor, you didn’t expect this, did you…Those who follow the righteous path will be helped by Heaven…those who stray from the righteous path will find few supporters…Today, the Ziyang Legion and the City Lord of Zicheng have come to help us kill you, you traitor…” Bo Yugu shouted loudly.

When the scions of noble families saw that their retreat route had been cut off by the Ziyang Legion, and when they saw the attire of the leader of the Ziyang Legion and Teng Mingli beside him, they were all startled and secretly felt that something was wrong.

A person's name, a tree's shadow; the name Zi Donglai is indeed a bit frightening.

"What's going on? Why would Zi Donglai come to Tianzhu Cave Heaven? Does he dare to leave Pengxuan Cave Heaven? The Gong family didn't even cause him any trouble? What are the Gong family good for?" Someone started cursing in a low voice.

Chen glanced at the enemy's army, which had already collapsed without a fight, but after hearing Bo Yugu's words, they gradually stabilized the situation and reorganized, preparing to fight them again.

"Is the name Zi Donglai really that useful?" Chen Guan stroked his chin. He hadn't expected that the identity he had created would be so useful.
