Chapter 651: Dispersal Tactics
Chapter 651: Dispersal Tactics
In the days that followed, the cultivators of Blue Star began discussing in their group chat about what new tactics they should adopt to best handle the current situation.
Of course, while they were discussing tactics, they didn’t sit idly by doing nothing. The Great Cultivators continued to attack the wellsprings according to the original plan, without stopping, but they were multitasking—attacking while discussing.
After a lengthy half-hour discussion and a thorough analysis of everyone's suggestions, Prime Minister Cao, who had the final say, decided to adopt the tactics proposed by Emperor Liu Che.
These tactics involved dispersing and engaging in guerrilla warfare.
Blue Star now had 37 Sixth-Stage cultivators. According to the previous plan, these 37 Sixth-Stage cultivators were only responsible for miscellaneous tasks, assisting Prime Minister Cao and Su Yu, and handling the aftermath.
Now, these Sixth-Stage cultivators no longer continued with the miscellaneous tasks but dispersed, with each one taking on a small wellspring.
This tactic had been used before, such as when 177 wellsprings were captured in one night in Kunlun Mountain, and 50 wellsprings were captured in one night in the Greater Khingan and Changbai Mountains. However, because this tactic couldn’t quickly capture small wellsprings, the Skrellian forces would intervene, leaving the Blue Star cultivators helpless, and it had to be abandoned.
Now, this tactic seemed to have found its place again!
Emperor Liu Che explained in the group chat: "Our Sixth-Stage cultivators will disperse to the small wellsprings, not to capture those wellsprings but to disrupt the Skrellian energy transport.
For example, when we reach a small wellspring, we can stand outside the wellspring and use powerful techniques or our life-bound treasures, Heavenly Spirit Treasures, to destroy the Skrellian bases' 'landing pads,' 'energy storage tanks,' and 'energy transport ships.' If we have the strength, we can directly attack the 'energy collection plants' and 'anti-gravity crystals.'
After these facilities are destroyed, the Skrellians won’t be able to send the energy back to their home planet. The dispersed energy will be ours on Blue Star.
If the Skrellians send Sixth-Stage or higher cultivators to interfere, we will immediately retreat. With over 2700 small wellsprings globally, we have enough strategic space for maneuvering."
The Skrellian Sixth-Stage and above cultivators only number around 800, and the ones under the command of the Lyrans, who came to Blue Star for battle, definitely don’t exceed 400. This is the backbone of Emperor Liu Che’s tactic—the Skrellians can’t watch all the small wellsprings.
Moreover, Emperor Liu Che not only talked about it; he had already started acting.
After gaining everyone’s approval, he flew alone in a supersonic fighter jet to the boundary of the Eurasian continent—the Greater Caucasus Mountains, finding a small, unassuming wellspring in the western part of the mountains—“Greater Caucasus Thirteen.”
The garrison in “Greater Caucasus Thirteen” was larger than the garrisons in the wellsprings within Huaxia. Currently, the base had one Fifth-Stage commander, one Fourth-Stage deputy commander, and 100 long-range troops.
In addition, they had four combat ships, eight transport ships, and the base’s defensive facilities were very complete. Compared to the first small wellspring Su Yu captured—Lingwushan Wellspring—the defenses of this wellspring were already at about 80% of that one.
Emperor Liu Che’s current strength was at the peak of the Soul Division stage, just one step away from the Seventh-Stage Unification stage.
If the Skrellians didn’t send stronger forces to intervene and the Skrellians in the base didn’t surrender, he could kill all the Skrellian forces in the wellspring and fully capture it within just a few hours.
At 2:20 AM, Emperor Liu Che’s fighter jet arrived at “Greater Caucasus Thirteen” wellspring.
He leaped out of the aircraft, still in mid-air, and launched an attack on the spring.
This time, he didn’t use his life-bound flying sword because the energy consumption was quite significant, and tonight's battle required sustained combat.
So, he directly summoned the powerful spirit treasure he had nurtured within his body for a long time: the "Manghuang Ten Thousand Spirits Stele."
The "Manghuang Ten Thousand Spirits Stele" was a towering, nearly thirty-zhang (about 100 meters) high stone stele, entirely black and emitting a hazy spiritual light. Carvings of the ancient Manghuang clan adorned its surface.
This spirit treasure was originally crafted by the first king of the Northwestern Great Wan Kingdom, infusing it with the spiritual blood of ten thousand primal creatures.
Later, Emperor Liu Che sent over a hundred thousand troops to attack the Great Wan Kingdom, and this spirit treasure fell into his hands.
After more than 2000 years of nurturing, the "Manghuang Ten Thousand Spirits Stele" had become incredibly powerful!
The commander of the "Great Gaojia Thirteen" base had already received a warning from higher-ups, as Emperor Liu Che's fighter jet’s flight path was within the Skrull's surveillance range.
Hearing that a sixth-rank attacker was coming, the commander wasn’t particularly worried.
Before Emperor Liu Che’s arrival, he had already activated all the defense systems in the base. A gray, uneven force field hovered above the base, providing protection.
As soon as Emperor Liu Che appeared, the "Manghuang Ten Thousand Spirits Stele" immediately flew out of his body and smashed into the force field shield in front of him.
The "Manghuang Ten Thousand Spirits Stele" grew larger in the wind, expanding to a hundred zhang (about 330 meters) in length, resembling a small mountain from a distance.
Crack!
With almost no resistance, the base of the massive stele made contact with the shield, and the Skrull’s force field was instantly crushed.
Under Emperor Liu Che’s control, the "Manghuang Ten Thousand Spirits Stele" smashed straight into the center of the base, the "Spirit Energy Collection Factory."
Crack!
The outer shell of the "Spirit Energy Collection Factory" had poor defensive capabilities and was immediately crushed.
The "Anti-Gravity Crystal Drill" inside had no defensive formations, and with one downward press from the "Manghuang Ten Thousand Spirits Stele," it couldn’t escape its fate, being crushed into powder by the immense force.
The Skrull commander and the far expedition soldiers in the base were completely stunned.
The burst of power from this sixth-rank cultivator from the Blue Star was terrifying! One strike shattered the force field, the "Spirit Energy Collection Factory," and the "Anti-Gravity Crystal Drill" into pieces. This wasn’t just a sixth-rank cultivator; it was the power of a seventh-rank cultivator!
The despicable "White-Headed Eagles" in the main command center, why didn’t they mention it was a seventh-rank earlier? They would have run away sooner.
Just then, the Skrull far expeditionary army's reinforcements finally arrived.
This was a high-rank, sixth-stage male spirit warrior, clad in a dazzling blue alloy armor.
As soon as he passed through the spatial rift, he saw the "Manghuang Ten Thousand Spirits Stele" pressing down on the "Spirit Energy Collection Factory," and his eyes widened in shock.
This terrifying spiritual energy fluctuation—this opponent wasn’t someone he could handle easily.
He quickly raised a spirit energy shield and activated various damage-reducing techniques before looking down at Emperor Liu Che, preparing to defend with an attack.
But to his surprise, Emperor Liu Che didn’t even glance at him.
Upon noticing the Skrull reinforcements, Emperor Liu Che immediately retracted the "Manghuang Ten Thousand Spirits Stele" back into his body, turned around, and flew away gracefully without looking back.
Leaving behind a group of stunned Skrulls, all with bewildered expressions.
