Chapter 1010: Battle of Red Stars Canyon

Fu Qizhi was an Imperial Emperor and the other two, Fu Li and Bi An were both peak Creator, which allowed their voice to transmit all the way into every corner within the Huangting Clan's secret realms and sacred grounds.

Ting Daoji's expression was definitely not good and he said, "Fengcen, where did King Yi set up his ambush?"

Ting Fengcen however, sweated coldly as he scanned around with his Three Eyes Heavenly Pupils. After a while, he shook his head and said sorely, "No, I did not find anything, I see no gods hiding in the dark."

He flew up into the skies, burrowed deep into the ground, traveled back and forth, only to find nothing and more sweat dripped down from his forehead.

Apart from Zhong Yue and the other four, he horridly saw not a single man related to the Heaven Suppression Fortress!

Billions of powerful soldiers, the so-called sovereign and monarch race, the well known Heavenly River Navy Fleet and Yu Lin Army, had been turned into a laughing stock by the trio who snuck in, saved their trophy, stole their herbs and the five of them who blocked everyone inside their territory for three months!

If this was known by the outside world, the Heavenly River Navy Fleet, Yu Lin Army, Huangting Clan, and Panhu Clan would become a joke in everyone's eyes!

But it was also impossible for them to shut the mouth of everyone present today!

At this moment, Ting Daoji, Lou Zhengshi and the others could already imagine how humiliated they would be for becoming a laughing stock!

"If we take down Heaven Suppression Fortress and kill King Yi, we will be able to wash away the shame on us!"

Pan Ji shouted suddenly, "Trample over them! We must kill them all!"

"Raise the army!" added Lou Zhengshi.

"All of them!" agreed Sui Qinghong.

Ting Daoji was also on the same side, "Give in everything we've got and destroy them before Xian Tian Palace could even react!"

Lou Zhengshi then rebutted, "Brother Daoji, three months have passed since King Yi's arrival. I'm afraid that the other two fortresses had already received news about this and are on the move to Heaven Suppression Fortress. What we have to do now is send out an army to harass the reinforcement and we mustn't let them join the Heaven Suppression Fortress!"

Pan Ji gave this idea a thought and he smiled, "Then leave this to we Panhu Navy. Our role overlapped with the Heavenly River Navy Fleet so there is no need for us to be there. With that, we volunteer to intercept their reinforcements."

Lou Zhengshi nodded and said, "Then we will be depending on you, Brother Pan Ji."

The four powers immediately reorganized their army and they departed a few days later. At the same time, the ancient ship had arrived at the first own of the nine towns, the Zhen Wen Town and the general safeguarding this town was the female general, Fu Wen, who has three Creators under her and 3,000,000 soldiers.

When they arrived at this town, Fu Wen was training the army, altering the formations around here, preparing the equipments and building a star gate. This place was still under construction, which resulted in the lack of proper equipments and it would take another two to three months until this town was fully set up.

"Fu Wen, stay here and wait for my orders." said Zhong Yue as he left behind ten clones before he left to the second town, Zhen Lie Town.

The one guarding this place was Fu Lie, also had 3,000,000 men under him and Zhong Yue told him the same thing he told Fu Wen.

At the third town, Zhen Ge Town, where Mu Suge stood by with 8,000,000 men, Zhong Yue also repeated the same.

Throughout his way, he passed by the nine towns and twelve strongholds before returning to the fortress.

Many soldiers were garrisoned in the nine towns, all under the lead of Creator level generals and that alone took away more than half of the Heaven Suppression Fortress' manpower. Fortunately, when they took down the nine sacred grounds that were later on built into the towns, they had seized quite a number of the gods and these seized ones were later on recruited into the army.

The twelve strongholds had the least soldiers, amounting up to 110 men in each stronghold but every one of them were all Deity Emperors, making them to be the strongest combat units that acted as the golden crow's claws used to tear through the enemy ranks.

Zhong Yue returned to the fortress, got down from the ancient ship and right now, the only army remained in the fortress were the Yinkang Clan's Navy and Xian Tian Royal Guards, totaling up to 40,000,000 men but that was enough to defend the fortress already.

"The fortress can't be defended by us alone but it should be able to last long enough until our reinforcements arrive."

Zhong Yue shook and said, "Imperial Emperor Xian Tian has trump cards hidden up in his sleeves and whatever he shown to the world is just the tip of the iceberg. Now that the Heaven Court has acted, he will definitely act accordingly but not now, he will only reveal his hidden power at the final moment."

Yin Fanxuan then suggestively asked, "You mean that Imperial Emperor Xian Tian will not send in more reinforcements?"

"I'm afraid that is how it is."

Jin Hexi then shouted, "Then how are we supposed to fight this war! Their soldiers are twice of our ranks and they have much more Imperial Emperors than us!"

Yin Fanxuan also frowned but Zhong Yue smiled, "And what about it?"

"We will suffer a great loss in our army!"

Yin Fanxuan said right away, "Even if we won, the men of we Yinkang Clan will dwindle greatly! It will be best to avoid such a fight!"

"Not quite." replied Zhong Yue, "Speed is of the essence in war. They are already slow and being slow means losing the upper hand. They will split their forces for Pan Ji's navy is too extra when the Heavenly River Navy Fleet is around so Pan Ji will rush to intercept the reinforcements from the other two fortresses."

He spread the map on the table, highlighted two places and said, "With Pan Ji's navy speed, they will intercept the reinforcements at these two places so Pan Ji will not be our concern."

Yin Fanxuan and Jin Hexi nodded before they pointed out, "But there are still the other three powers, where the Huangting Clan stand out the most! We fear that they will swarm us together."

"No, they won't."

Zhong Yue drew a line on the map and said, "It'd take the Heavenly River Navy Fleet at least two months even if they marched in full speed and that is the speed possessed by an army that is always in training, also, as an army made of gods with wings, the Yu Lin Army will be the first to arrive. They as the vanguard will arrive in about twenty days and their job is to harass us. Lastly, the slowest would be the Huangting Clan's army."

He added, "Unlike the two elite armies, Huangting Clan may be a monarch race but their equipments, trainings and disciplines are below average, hence, their progression would be the slowest."

"Our first attack will take place here and our target will be their vanguard, the Yu Lin Army! We will cripple them in one blow right here!" continued as he pointed at the map.

The ladies looked towards where he pointed at, which was a canyon made entirely of shining red stars and they shouted softly, "The Red Stars Canyon!"

Zhong Yue nodded, "In terms of speed, the Yu Lin Army will never catch up with my thousand winged ancient ship. Ten days later, they will arrive at the Red Stars Canyon and I'll battle them with overwhelming numbers! We will destroy them with unstoppable power that even the Heavenly River Navy Fleet could not react!"

"A month later, Pan Ji's navy will run into the Heaven Riding Fortress's army while Heavenly River Navy Fleet and Huangting Clan's army's vanguard will finally arrive at the Red Stars Canyon. This is a time interval that we can exploit!"

Coldness crawled up in Zhong Yue's eyes as he said, "When half of Pan Ji's navy is fighting against Heaven Riding Fortress's army, we will strike from the back and eliminate them from the game! It'd take four days to wipe them out and two days later, we will backstab the other half when they fight with the reinforcements from Shield Base Fortress, who has to hold themselves together for five days until he arrives!"

"Four days later after that, the Panhu Clan's navy will no longer exist in this world!"

"And when that happened, the Heavenly River Navy Fleet will only arrive here after five days, which gives us more than enough time to return to the fortress onboard the ancient ship! Then, it will be the time for us to show the world of the combat prowess of exotic beasts like the Golden Crow!"

"With the addition of the two fortresses' army, we would also overwhelm the Heavenly River Navy Fleet and Huangting Clan!"

Zhong Yue smirked, "Heavenly Monarch Di Ming is really optimistic to think that he could take over the Heaven Suppression Fortress with two army divisions, a sovereign and a monarch race. He really is underestimating me."

Yin Fanxuan and Jin Hexi exchanged a look hearing this and they both nodded in sync.

"Darlings, stay here. Hexi will help Fanxuan in commanding the Yinkang Navy, defend this place for me."

Zhong Yue said, "I'd need Yinkang Clan's elder and father-in-law's help. I have to be quicker than Lou Zhengshi and his allies! This is a fight where the quicker one will prevail!"

Right now, the 8,000 Fuxi of Xian Tian Royal Guard, 20,000,000 gods were onboard the ancient ship, along with eight elders and Yin Fukang. Among the elders and Yin Fukang, there were six Imperial Emperors and Yin Fukang alone was a peak Imperial Emperor.

Zhong Yue took one final check, had the three Creator level elders down the ship to aid Yin Fanxuan in defending the Heaven Suppression Fortress.

Then, the thousand winged ancient ship vigorously flapped its wings and disappeared right away.

Ten days later, in the Red Stars Canyon, feathers rained down from the skies as countless bird winged gods flew in the skies, each equipped with longbows, sharp spears, and banners.

The Yu Lin Army was an army based on the Fuxi Celestial Race's Hou Niao Sect, tasked to rule every bird winged gods in the world and the Yu Lin Army consisted of only gods with bird wings.

Their innate characteristic granted them extraordinary speed that surpasses even the Heavenly River Navy Fleet, hence, they were already here before the navy fleet.

In the center of the gods, there was a carriage pulled by seven bird winged god and that was where Sui Qinghong sat in. He looked around at the surrounding that had endless suns hung high in the skies, dying the canyon fiery red and he immediately asked, "What is this place? How far away are we from the Heaven Suppression Fortress?"

"Commander, this is the Red Stars Canyon, it is also some times referred to as the Land of Sunfall. Rumors had it that during the Fire Order Era, a Heavenly Monarch was murdered here by a powerful foe, when he died, his blood dyed the suns red, hence, the Land of Sunfall."

Sui Qinghong nodded and he smiled, "Hmmm, this is a very strategic point for an ambush, I'd set up an ambush here if I were King Yi."

Hong long——

A massive ancient ship emerged of out nowhere, its innate flesh wings stretched wide as it flew past the Yu Lin Army, cutting the soldiers into pieces as it passed through!

Surprised and angered, Sui Qinghong charged out from the carriage, the thousand pairs of wings behind him stretched out and he rained down sharp feathers like alluring golden swords onto the ancient ship!
