Chapter 2709: Su Yang’s Strategy
Su Yang glanced at everyone around him, sighed lightly, and said, "What they said is correct; the Guardian God’s attack this time definitely has a problem. This time, they didn’t mainly attack but observed us, which is very unusual!"
Everyone looked at each other, and the Eternal Divine Emperor whispered, "Yang’er, do you mean that the Guardian God has other plans?"
"War is the way of deception!" Su Yang said, "As the saying goes, ’all’s fair in war,’ the Guardian God is not a fool. Their first failure made them realize that a full-scale attack has little chance of success. So they will definitely come up with other ways to seize the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet. I’ve also been thinking, would the second war between us and the Guardian God be longer than the first one? Facts have proven my guess is correct!"
"Why do you guess that?" a Heavenly Warrior asked curiously.
Su Yang glanced at him and said softly, "Think from another angle; if the Guardian God has taken our Earth Principle and we need to take it back, how should we do it?"
Everyone exchanged glances, and the Nine-headed Demon Yuan said, "Of course, we would just fight them and take back the Earth Principle!"
"But the problem is, with our current strength, can we take back the Earth Principle from the Guardian God?" Su Yang retorted.
Everyone immediately fell silent; that was certainly impossible.
"In the previous first war, the Guardian God’s thoughts were actually similar to ours. They wanted to come and seize the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet," Su Yang said. "The first defeat made them realize this idea wasn’t realistic. Our strengths are similar; hard attacks are definitely useless. So they need to think of another way!"
"If it were me, if a frontal confrontation doesn’t work, I would choose a key breakthrough. Choose the weakest point, make a key breakthrough, crash through the opponent’s defenses, then advance freely and take the thing first!"
"And to make a key breakthrough, you must first find the weakest point in the opponent’s defense. To find the opponent’s weakest point, you must make a careful observation and comparison. So, if I were to command this war, I would definitely delay the time of the second war, mainly observing the opponent’s situation rather than defeating it!"
"The second attack by the Guardian God was just like this. It seemed fierce, but in fact, the delay was just to observe our defense situation. In the next war, the Guardian God will choose our weakest point as the breakthrough. And the next war will be extremely dangerous for us!"
After listening to Su Yang’s words, everyone looked at each other; their expressions froze.
These Heavenly Warriors embarked on battles that shook heaven and earth but seldom thought of strategic schemes. As for strategizing like wars, it certainly wasn’t their forte.
Now, hearing Su Yang’s words, everyone began to calculate in their minds. If the Guardian God really came at them with a focused breakthrough, would they be able to hold out this time?
"How about calling everyone back to the Nine Realms?" a Heavenly Warrior suggested. "The Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet is in the Nine Realms. If we concentrate all Heavenly Warriors in the Nine Realms, we can focus the defense. The Guardian God won’t find our weakest point and won’t be able to break through!"
"That’s not the case!" Su Yang shook his head. "If we really call everyone back to the Nine Realms, then the battlefield will be in the Nine Realms. And once the battlefield is reduced to this range, the Guardian God’s goal is very clear; they will attack the Nine Realms with all their might. Everyone, by then, even if both sides suffer heavy casualties, the Guardian God won’t retreat. They will fight desperately to seize the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet. Only by extending the battlefield, so the Guardian God can’t get close to the Nine Realms, with too many losses and a too long war line that can’t reach the Nine Realms, will they be forced to retreat!"
Everyone looked at each other; these principles were something they didn’t understand.
"Su Alliance Leader, just don’t say so much!" one Heavenly Warrior said. "Just directly tell us what to do next!"
"Yes, Su Alliance Leader, give the orders, and we’ll follow!"
Everyone nodded repeatedly. They were not Su Yang and didn’t have his military experience, so naturally, they didn’t know about these situations.
Su Yang was silent for a while and said, "I think we need to change our defensive strategy in the next battle. We should mainly defend the areas that were weaker before, while reducing manpower in other areas to cope with the Guardian God’s next attack!"
No one objected; these matters were certainly not as thorough as what Su Yang considered.
Following Su Yang’s orders, the Human Clan changed their defensive strategy.
The third war erupted fifty years later.
And this time, the situation was exactly as Su Yang predicted. The Guardian God indeed started a focused attack, sending a large number of forces to attack previously weak defended areas, aiming to tear through the Human Clan’s defense line and seize the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet.
Luckily, Su Yang had also changed the defensive strategy. The Guardian God focused his attack this time but also encountered strong defense by the Human Clan.
This battle lasted fifty years, with severe casualties on both sides, forcing the Guardian God to retreat.
After this battle, people’s views on Su Yang changed completely.
Before, they thought Su Yang was able to become Lord of the Human Clan because the six strongest supported him.
But now, Su Yang’s ability to become Lord of the Human Clan was evidently not just because of the support from the six strongest. At least, Su Yang’s judgment was something many didn’t have.
After this battle, Su Yang returned to the World Melting Furnace and entered closed-door cultivation.
After three consecutive wars, he personally participated and experienced countless life-and-death situations, but the gains were equally significant. Every battle had its rewards, and this time Su Yang even felt signs of a breakthrough, so he went back for closed-door preparation.
For the closed-door session, Su Yang chose to be in the Heavenly Sect.
Within the World Melting Furnace, the Heavenly Sect’s spiritual energy was the most abundant and the place where human powerhouses chose to undergo closed-door cultivation.
Moreover, through the Ancient Heaven Warriors, Su Yang had a rough understanding of the Heavenly Sect.
The Heavenly Sect was the largest organization of the Guardian God during ancient times. Its leader was named Heavenly Sect, rumored to be the son of the First God. This person was extremely powerful, almost unfathomably strong compared to the First God, and was said to be the leading figure of the Guardian God during ancient times.
