Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 310 A Sudden Turn of Events!
"The first and second troop formations of ten thousand men retreated to the Wailing Pass at the bottom of the Jinghe Valley to defend the area and prevent a counterattack from the Stone Clan."

The 30,000-strong force and the 6,000- and 7,000-strong forces headed towards the Twilight Tundra, while the 1,000- and 2,000-strong forces held the dense forest path.

The fifth thousand men's team split into groups of ten and entered the sunny slope to search for the fern forest.

Upon discovering any trace of the target, immediately signal with signal flares. The remaining thousand-man squad will remain in reserve for manpower, with men never leaving their packs and armor at all times.

Scarpo paced back and forth a few steps with his hands behind his back, then added:

"Send a message to the Holy Land Guard Regiment, telling them to stop searching and assemble immediately, in units of at least two thousand men each, and press towards this area!"

Those idiots in the Holy Land Guard have forgotten how to fight, enjoying extremely generous treatment while stationed in the Holy Land.

Before the sacred totem is fully activated, the enemy can take advantage of blind spots or individual strengths to hide.

How can I search such a large area?
No matter how the other side tries to dodge, they will eventually have to enter the territory of the Stone Golems.

We put a lot of effort into choosing the hunting grounds.

The Stone People's territory is surrounded by the Sky Wall Mountains, with only a few entrances forming a tight encirclement where they gather in large groups.

Prevent the opponent from being directly defeated, continuously apply pressure, and force them towards the border.

The real battle will begin when the sacred object is fully activated.

Scarpo's order was quickly relayed, and a dazzling beam of light shot into the sky from the military camp.

The rapid flashing and changing colors is how the Griggans communicate over long distances.

The commander of the Holy Land Guard Corps obeyed the instructions of the Southern Front Corps Commander wholeheartedly.

Nothing was more important than the sacred relic. He could usually ignore Scarpo, but at this moment...

His only worry was that if Scarpo didn't give more command, the sooner the relics were found, the less responsibility he would bear.

Only the slacker knows best who has real skills and who is just muddling through.

"Boss, at 7 o'clock, less than 1 kilometer away, there's a team of ten."

A howling sound rang out in the team channel.

Li Xia simply stopped and leaped up to a high branch of the tree.

He had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

From that point onward, the Holy Land Guards, dressed in magnificent attire and scattered throughout the woods, disappeared.

Instead, they were replaced by soldiers from the Southern Front Army, dressed in black armor, in squads of ten.

Black Charcoal, who had been following the Holy Land Guards, reported that they had regrouped and were advancing in a wedge formation.

Each thousand-man squad is not far apart, so they can provide support at any time should an attack occur.

Scott's right eye displays a previously taken map, marking everything currently known.

They followed the river along the Dragon Path all the way to the edge of the Tranquil River Valley.

However, this map is different from the current one; originally, there was a bay that was sunken inward at the bottom of the Jinghe Valley.

However, decades later, the bay had been filled in by the Griggans and became part of the Southern Front Army.

There are only three ways to enter the territory of the Stone People: either follow the Dragon Path or go along the narrow mountain path.

They could either cross the pass from the bottom of the Lijing River valley, or eventually go up along the Tundra, brushing past the edge of the Southern Army.

The Dragonpath is home to the majority of the Grigan's Rift Cavalry, while the Glimmermoss is too close to the Southern Legion.

He originally planned to cross the pass, even though it was heavily guarded, but Li Xia was confident he could break through.

"Boss, what do we do?"

The howling bird high in the sky couldn't see Li Xia's situation. It could see that the ten-man team was getting closer and closer, and there was another ten-man team several hundred meters away from the ten-man team.

Anxiety couldn't help but creep in, prompting a massive, exhaustive search!
A cold glint flashed in Li Xia's eyes as he closed the map.

"kill!"

Silently leaping down from the tree trunk, Awoo also descended from the sky.

A huge amount of clear water poured out of the glass, but strangely it was not absorbed by the soil. Instead, it flowed on the ground like mercury, as if it were alive.

"laugh!"

Nightfall vanished in an instant, turning into a bolt of lightning, and Li Xia's figure also disappeared abruptly.

Flying Thunder God!
In an instant, the whole world seemed to turn black and white, and time seemed to suddenly fall silent.

Li Xia slowly raised his spear, slicing it across the heads of the two men in front of him. The Griggan cavalryman on the side was raising his hand at an extremely slow pace.

On the other side, the Griggan cavalrymen were slowly opening their mouths, their chests rising and falling.

The spear thrust forward with a simple and unadorned move, piercing the head of the Griggan cavalryman. Immediately afterwards, Li Xia pulled out the spear and sent the entire shaft backward.

The butt of the spear struck the cavalryman behind him in the face, causing his head to tilt to the side due to the immense force.

Immediately afterwards, the flesh and blood on his face rippled like waves, and his teeth flew around with disgusting blood and foam.

The world suddenly returned to normal, and the remaining cavalrymen reacted extremely quickly.

Although they didn't understand why Li Xia suddenly appeared in front of them, their instincts, honed by years of training, still made them act subconsciously according to their training.

The water that had been flowing close to the ground suddenly surged up, engulfing the three unsuspecting Griggans. Under Awoo's manipulation, the transparent water condensed into extremely sharp water blades.

It spun wildly inside the water sphere, and even though it could only cut a little bit each time, there were a great many water blades inside the sphere.

In an instant, the enormous water sphere was stained a vibrant green by the blood gushing from the Griggan. Li Xia's longsword sprang from its sheath, nimbly swirling in a circle before striking a Griggan cavalryman several meters to the side in the face.

Then it began to spin wildly, and the bodies of the Griggan cavalrymen trembled along with the spinning of the Murakumo sword.

The silent night pierced the chest of the last Grigan cavalryman, and the bursting true qi instantly twisted his head into a mess along his blood vessels.

"Qiang!"

The Murakumo Sword flew back to his left hand, he twirled it to shake off the bloodstains, and then sheathed it with a backhand motion.

With a slight upward thrust of his right hand holding the gun, he brought the already dead Griggan cavalryman to his side.

A cylinder was pried out of his tightly clenched hand.

Li Xia still remembers that the cavalryman was not on guard and immediately reached for the cylinder.

Li Xia squinted as she held the object to her nose; it had a pungent smell.

Fortunately, the omnipotent Temple of Light did not fail, and even a trivial object was displayed.

[Gregor Signal Fireworks]

Signal firework tube?
"Boss, what's going on—"

Awoo, who had just killed three Grigan cavalrymen, also came over, his eyes widening as he looked at the Hall of Light's notification.

"Hiss!! Luckily, boss, you decided to use instant kill!"

Is it difficult to kill ten Grigane cavalrymen?

Of course it's not difficult; for Li Xia now, it's practically a piece of cake. But killing ten cavalrymen in an instant is difficult.

To give the ten Grigane cavalrymen no time to react, Li Xia and Aowu did their utmost.

Using the Transparent World to force a kill is certainly not a problem, but Li Xia was already consciously controlling the dual counter-attack bonus of the Transparent World, and the consumption of the full bonus is really a bit too large.

So after killing three, I stopped immediately to avoid any damage to my body.

If it weren't for the instant kill and the signal flare had been used, the nearby Griggan cavalry would probably have swarmed over like sharks smelling blood.

"These ten-man teams should all have this. I thought they didn't have this kind of thing when I saw them using the beam of light."

Li Xia tossed the signal flare up and down, then suddenly had an idea.

He tossed the flare to Aowu and gave him instructions in the team chat:
"Take this with you, hide it in the tree, and wait for my message before smoking."

"okay!"

They watched as the little dragon flew into the tall bushes and concealed itself.

Li Xia checked the direction and rushed out again.

This time, however, he was going in the completely opposite direction.

There were very few pursuers heading towards the Holy Land, or rather, the enemy was not worried at all about Li Xia breaking through towards the Holy Land.

Scarpo's goal was to trap him inside before the relic could be fully activated.

Success is achieved as long as this goal is accomplished. If Li Xia were just wandering around the Holy Land, he might even be willing to make all the Griggans stop.

Rest where you are and wait for the ritual to end so that the sacred objects can be activated.

[The Grigan Relic has undergone its third spirit-consecration ceremony; current activation rate: 90%]

The sacred object trembled violently, and green ripples spread outwards in concentric circles.

Even the wood carvings began to show a faint green glow.

Li Xia's face was ashen; it was 90% done.
It can be said that the other party's reaction completely ruined his original plan.

He originally planned to get as close to the boundary as possible before activation and break through in one fell swoop.

However, based on his observations over this period of time, he was certain that the other side remained as composed as a rock and showed no sign of panic at all.

They did not launch a large-scale search as planned, and even the originally panicked guards of the holy land calmed down.

They were locked together, giving Li Xia no chance to break through.

Scapo, the Sword of Empire?
Li Xia looked up at the sky, his eyes reflecting the vast starry sky, as if the entire Milky Way was contained within them.

"Commander, the enemy's location has been confirmed: at the intersection of Dragon Road and Old Bay!"
He can't escape!

The adjutant excitedly marked the location of the third sacrificial ceremony on the map.

From the edge of the holy site at the beginning, to Jing'an Valley, and now.

The other side presented a trajectory like a hook.

"Commander, the enemy was frightened away by your arrangements!"

Ignoring the excited adjutant, Scarpo reached for the helmet on the table.

It slowly settled on his head, the visor obscuring his face, revealing only his sharp, hawk-like eyes.

"Order the entire army to assemble and attack!"
