King of Creation Chapter 2160 - 2145: War Wolf Camp (Second Update)

In less than half a day, the Seventh Prince Cong Yun and his subordinates had agreed on the strategy to attack Blood River Fortress.

It must be said that Ye Zhen’s previous raids had indeed had a certain effect.

The original strategy to concentrate all efforts first to break through Blood River Fortress and then massacre the other two garrison fortresses in a crushing manner was slightly altered by the Seventh Prince Cong Yun and the officers.

Mainly, Ye Zhen’s previous raids had scared them.

Originally, according to their plan, their main force would concentrate under Blood River Fortress, while for the other two fortresses, each would be assigned a hundred thousand troops to maintain low-intensity attacks, merely to pin down and wait for the main force to break through.

But now, Ye Zhen’s three raids swallowed up their Vanguard Army’s one hundred eighty thousand troops and more than half of their elite, which made the Seventh Prince Cong Yun suddenly become more cautious.

If the Vanguard Army’s three raids were barely excusable by blaming it on the Corps Leader Yue Dai,

then if the troops are combined and such a raid succeeds again, the Seventh Prince’s face would be lost thoroughly,

and he would also significantly lose points in this battle that might determine the successor of the Demon Emperor position.

So, the Seventh Prince Cong Yun became particularly careful.

The forces originally sent to the two fortresses seemed somewhat weak in the eyes of the Seventh Prince Cong Yun.

Thus, the Seventh Prince Cong Yun increased the troops sent to the two fortresses from a hundred thousand to a hundred fifty thousand each.

As a result, the main force of the Seventh Prince Cong Yun was suddenly reduced by three hundred thousand.

In fact, if it were possible, the Seventh Prince Cong Yun would prefer to send two hundred thousand troops to each fortress, which would be even more secure.

What annoyed the Seventh Prince Cong Yun was that the Vanguard Army suddenly losing one hundred eighty thousand, which made the originally abundant forces of the Seventh Prince Cong Yun become tense.

Especially in the situation of dividing the forces.

After dividing the forces, the army left for the Seventh Prince Cong Yun was only 520,000.

Moreover, the rear base needed to station a certain number of soldiers, and the middle needed to set up strongholds to guard against the ambushes of the Great Zhou’s elite forces.

Ultimately, the army that could be assembled under Blood River Fortress was only about 450,000.

According to their intelligence, the total military strength within Blood River Fortress was between 150,000 and 180,000. If it were an ordinary Demon Clan army, even with a number of 450,000, it would be very difficult to capture a military fortress like Blood River Fortress.

Fortunately, this time the army brought by the Seventh Prince Cong Yun were all elites among elites.

In terms of combat power, they were at least twice that of the Vanguard Army.

It was this that could make up for the previous loss of 180,000 of the Vanguard Army, giving the Seventh Prince Cong Yun complete confidence in conquering Blood River Fortress.

The army of the Seventh Prince Cong Yun came from afar and was somewhat weary, requiring a break, but at most only needed half a day.

But more critically, the Vanguard Army suffered three consecutive defeats, with heavy losses and depressed soldiers, also needed adjustments to boost morale.

Thus, under unavoidable circumstances, the army of the Seventh Prince Cong Yun could only rest in place.

And this, too, was the significance of Ye Zhen’s previous raids.

First, to buy time for reinforcements, second, to weaken enemy forces, and third, to increase pressure on the enemy, forcing them to intensify the division of their forces and lessening the defensive pressure on Blood River Fortress.

These were the three strategic objectives Ye Zhen set for himself before the raids.

Now, they all have been achieved.

On January 17th, the Demon Clan army under the Seventh Prince Cong Yun was divided into three streams like rushing black dragons, sweeping towards Blood River Fortress, Yang Gate Fortress, and Cairo Fortress respectively.

At once, Warning Talismans flew chaotically in the Blood River Fortress defense area.

The great battle had arrived!

At the same time, a cold wind howled through the mountain valley to the left of Cairo Fortress, sweeping up the snow on the ground and spinning it into whirlwinds of snowflakes.

Upon close inspection, these snowflake whirlwinds continuously transformed,

at one moment forming a ghostly face, at another changing into a ludicrously fat human face, and again morphing into a slender figure like a yaksha.

This snowflake whirlwind seemed alive, and if anyone were alone here, they might be frightened out of their wits.

Suddenly, the sound of a whip cracking rang out from within the snowflake whirlwind, dense with intensity.

At the moment the dense cracking sound of the whip resounded, the snowflake whirlwind twitched violently like a person, and then instantly dispersed.

"Achou, are you itching for a beating?"

"I asked you to set up a small illusion, and you have to stir up trouble as well? If you’re itching for a beating, just say so, I’ve been quite bored these days!" The voice of Little Demon rose, tinged with fiery rebuke.

"If you’re found out and ruin the great plan of Father, see if I don’t beat you to death!"

The voice of Little Demon made the entire illusion tremble slightly, "Big Sister, I... I was just bored!"

"Besides, aren’t you and Big Ears monitoring the enemy’s movements? How could it be exposed?"

"Still daring to talk back!"

Little Demon’s stern rebuke made Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou beg for forgiveness unwillingly, "Big Sister, I know I was wrong. I won’t dare next time!"

That guy Achou, although with a foul mouth and full of bad ideas, was still quite sensible.

"Don’t let me catch you next time!"

With a cold snort, Little Demon’s presence swiftly faded, leaving Achou maintaining the illusion with a touch of boredom.

Yet, inside this snow-covered, wind-blown mountain illusion, was another scene entirely.

Military tents stood densely, filled with soldiers either resting or cultivating.

But most attention was drawn to the dense crowd gathered in circles before the Commander’s Tent.

In the center of the crowd, two warriors of the Dark Palace Realm were sparring with each other.

One was the Deputy Marshal of the First Army, at the Seventh Stage of the Dark Palace Realm, while the other was a Fifth Stage Dark Palace Realm warrior with a double-winged fiery wolf phantom rising behind him.

This warrior with the double-winged fiery wolf phantom just completed the fusion refining as a Demon Spirit Soldier.

The more than four thousand Dark Palace Realm Demon Spirit Soldiers converted this time by Ye Zhen were all fused using the Beast Blood Demon Spirit Pill refined with late-stage Dark Palace Realm Fire Wing Wolf Demons as the medicine cauldron.

The Fire Wing Wolf Demon is a social Demon Beast, most suitable for refining the Beast Blood Demon Spirit Pill for the Dark Palace Realm.

At this moment, this Demon Spirit Soldier’s face was fierce like a wolf, his whole being instinctively crouching like a wolf, and upon Ye Zhen’s command, he instantly leaped forward like a blaze of light.

"Hmm, short-distance burst speed comparable to an early-stage Realm King realm martial artist."

"Strength exceeds that of peers by at least fifty percent!"

"Reactions are quicker than before!"

"Also seems more battle-hungry!"

...

Newly minted Demon Spirit Soldiers continuously stepped forward, practicing with regular Dark Palace Realm martial artists while Ye Zhen kept evaluating on the side.

His eyes shone increasingly with delight as he made a comprehensive assessment of the Demon Spirit Soldiers’ power.

The Demon Spirit Soldiers gained through this trade were even stronger than Ye Zhen imagined.

Especially in close combat, their strength compares to late-stage Dark Palace Realm martial artists even though they’re just freshly transformed and not yet fully familiar with their power and speed.

Once they master this power, they will be even more formidable.

If they are equipped with higher-grade standard armor, they can absolutely become a fearsome elite force that invades like fire.

Another piece of good news is that except for a few leaders, all soldiers have completed the fusion refining.

Within a day and a half, these soldiers who cultivated inside the Mirage Dragon Pearl completed their transformation into Demon Spirit Soldiers in what seemed like a dreamlike manner.

Most astonishing of all was a success rate of ninety-nine percent in the fusion refining.

Out of over 4,200 Beast Blood Demon Spirit Pills, fewer than forty soldiers failed in the fusion transformation, and none died.

The Flood Dragon Essence Blood provided by Ye Zhen was the most crucial reason.

However, only Ye Zhen in this world could provide Flood Dragon Essence Blood for ordinary soldiers.

"From today on, this unit will stand independently and be called... the War Wolf Camp!"

Almost as soon as Ye Zhen’s words fell, Niu Er appeared noiselessly by Ye Zhen’s side, hastily offering a few Jade Scrolls, "Grand Marshal, urgent military information!"
