Chapter 2750 Deceit and Treachery
Xi Yu fired off a barrage of questions, "If you can't even have a clear understanding of the enemy's combat strength, what makes you think you can make such a strategic arrangement?"
Gao Huaiyuan opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
He was well aware of the capabilities of the Bega army and the Panlong army's tactics, but there were two variables in today's battle. First, General Huyi's pre-battle speech had indeed shaken the morale of some troops, causing a decrease in Bega's Yuan energy, which meant that Bega's combat level was actually not as good as usual. Battlefield advantages are accumulated little by little; sometimes, a slight miscalculation can lead to disastrous consequences. The second variable was the assistance from the immortals and demons brought by Xi Yu!
With so many immortals and demons participating in the battle, it was certainly a good thing for Bega's army. However, he realized that he had overestimated the performance of these immortals and demons on the battlefield.
Or rather, he underestimated Panlong's ability to deal with immortals and demons. Judging from the way the opponent methodically sniped immortals and demons, it was hard to imagine that this was the first time the opponent had done something like this.
He certainly wouldn't know that the Nine Nether Emperor had been suppressing and controlling immortals, demons, and sects within the Cangyan Kingdom for nearly twenty years, possessing rich experience and refined methods. The same few god-slaying squads, controlled by him and commanded by Zhong Shengguang, would produce completely different results.
No one can match the Nine Nether Emperor's control over the psychology, abilities, and state of immortals and demons on the battlefield.
In the Panlong World, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had just returned to its real-world concentration. Neither the immortals of this world nor the demons of the lower realms could yet adapt to the drastically changed battlefield environment. Their performance in the Mingsha Forest, in the eyes of a seasoned battlefield veteran like He Lingchuan, was that of complete novices.
This is their biggest weakness right now. If these immortals and demons were allowed to train on the Panbei Battlefield for another ten days or half a month, they would truly become the most troublesome opponents.
Thank goodness, this is the final battle.
The second reason was something Gao Huaiyuan couldn't bring himself to say. Could he really tell the Heavenly Demons that it was because they performed poorly, resulting in slow progress on the battlefield and being ambushed by Panlong's elite squad?
Shouldn't the Holy One slap him twice on the spot?
Moreover, Xi Yu's accusations are not entirely wrong. As the overall commander of the battlefield, Gao Huaiyuan failed to rationally and maximize the use of the existing combat forces and made such a misjudgment, which led to the successive fall of the gods. He is indeed to blame.
“If we concentrate the immortals and gods, the battle line might actually slow down,” he said, expressing his concern. “That means we should put aside our advantages and challenge Panlong’s strengths.”
In a "face-to-face" battle, Panlong is at a disadvantage due to its smaller numbers; however, in a "point-to-point" contest, Panlong is not afraid.
Xi Yu paused for a few breaths, closed her eyes, as if communicating with something in the void.
Not long after, He opened His eyes again and said to Gao Huaiyuan, "The Holy One has ordered you to gather our immortals and gods, divide them into two groups at most, and advance with all your might! We must take Mingsha Forest before tomorrow morning!"
Gao Huaiyuan could only agree.

Suddenly, the Earth Mother Plain was shrouded in mist. A thick, grayish-white fog appeared out of nowhere, enveloping the city, buildings, hills, and plains, reducing visibility to less than five zhang.
The immortals and demons who had infiltrated the plains have dispersed and are searching everywhere for the ancient city of Panlong.
Under the effect of etherealization, they are immune to the attacks of the stone golems, and even the supernatural powers of cultivators seem to hit thin air when they strike them.
They are both here and not here.
This strange supernatural power was something that the Earth Mother's stone golem and the Cangyan cultivators had never encountered before, leaving them momentarily helpless.
Qing Shudi Jun immediately activated the Mysterious Realm of Mist.
This secret realm was newly discovered by the Earth Mother during her travels around the world half a year ago. Moreover, the mist in the secret realm can actually flow into the outside world. Ling Jinbao and Ming Ke Xianren both thought it was an excellent defensive measure, so they helped it collect it in the plains. They didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.
The fog flowing from the secret realm now blankets the entire plain, effectively blocking the enemy's vision but not affecting our own. In this dense fog, the enemy is essentially half-blind, making them easy prey.
Some of the immortals and demons engaged in battle with the guards amidst the flowing clouds and mist. Their individual strength was surprisingly formidable, which secretly alarmed Mingke, the immortal who was overseeing the entire situation. However, with the help of the mist and the stone men and beasts sent by the Earth Mother's avatar, the guards, though struggling against the enemy, were still able to hold their own.
With the help of the little stone man, Immortal Mingke can accurately pinpoint the location of every immortal and demon.
Geng Yue Shen was walking with several other celestial demons. Having just evaded two waves of attacks, they saw a surge of mist ahead, as if something was approaching. They initially thought it was a new enemy, but as they took two more steps closer, they discovered that the mist was dissipating, revealing the scenery hidden within—
What a magnificent city gate tower!
Panlong Ancient City!
The majestic city gate, the towering ancient walls, the rustic atmosphere—isn't this the Panlong Ancient City that all the demons have been longing for?
Even those who haven't seen this iconic south gate of the city have heard of it and can recognize it at a glance.
They finally found it?
The gods of Gengyue exchanged glances, but instead of acting rashly, they raised their hands and released a firework.
This ancient city has a fearsome reputation, and they wouldn't be foolish enough to enter it directly. Of course, they would gather all the demons to explore it together.
Unbeknownst to them, several other groups of demons had also found the "Panlong Ancient City" and, following their pre-arranged plan, were sending out signals to summon their companions.
On the Earth Mother Plain, the Heavenly Demons cannot communicate with each other through supernatural powers, unless they have a telepathic connection like Xi Yu and Wu Yao.
However, the signals released by the demons could not actually reach their companions. At this time, the Earth Mother Plain was a huge illusionary city, and no matter how dazzling the fireworks and magical powers were, the plain would block them out.
Even the "Panlong Ancient City" that the demons saw was not the real Panlong Ancient City; it was just various buildings dressed up as Panlong Ancient City.
Immortal Mingke frowned, because the Heavenly Demon was not going into the disguised trap at all.
As for the attacks from the plains defenders, they still couldn't hit them.
Qing Shudi-kun, who had been staring at the live feed of the little stone figure on the water, suddenly asked, "Why is there a lamp floating next to each of the intruders?"
Each group of immortals and demons had a faintly visible floating lamp beside them, about the size of an egg. It did not emit any other magical energy fluctuations, nor did it seem to have any other supernatural power or purpose.
Given the dense fog they were in, it wouldn't be surprising if they found a light to provide illumination.
Of course, it can only illuminate a small area around the immortals and demons, and its effect on dispelling the dense fog is also limited.
"Is it just for lighting?" Reminded by Qing Shudi Jun, Ming Ke Xianren looked closely and indeed found a clue. "No, the size, style and brightness of these lamps are all the same. They should be made by the same person."
Then it wouldn't be a matter of each immortal and demon using their own.
