Dragon Tamer

Chapter 553: Chapter 555: Elope?
 

The environment imposed significant restrictions, rendering so-called tactical deployments essentially meaningless.

This time, the war with Absolute Ridge Chengbang was essentially a head-on slaughter, and Li Yunzi was well aware of this fact.

All she had to do was one thing, break through the cloud-topping State Wall of Absolute Ridge Chengbang!

“We can station our army near the mountains by the Silver Bells, surround them completely yet not attack the city, to erode their will to fight…” Emperor Wuhou suggested his strategy.

“If our logistics had not been affected by Mosquito Dragons, this would indeed be a good method, but what we should least do now is to delay, we must fight quickly,” Zheng Yu objected.

“But if we rashly attack the city from the front, that fortress-level State Wall, how many men will you have to sacrifice to climb it?” Emperor Wuhou said.

“We need a surprise force that can reach their rear. When we launch our fiercest siege attack, they should be given a stab in the back.”

“Their rear is the Absolute Valley beneath the clouds!”

“Unless we attack the city, the only way to get behind them is to go through the Absolute Valley underneath the clouds.”

“The Mosquito Dragon probably comes from Absolute Valley. Previously we might have considered having the various seated powers complete the task, but now no one dares to act alone and leave the army,” Emperor Wuhou said.

To go through Absolute Valley…

It felt as dangerous as directly facing the Giant Ridge General of Absolute Ridge Chengbang in head-on combat.

Especially now, everyone understood that the Time Wave of World Dragon Gate seemed to affect the creatures in Absolute Valley, making them even more fearful of the maze in the valley!

“I can lead the team there,” Zhu Minglang spoke up at this time.

“Your Zhu Gate is willing to go down into Absolute Valley??” Emperor Wuhou said in surprise.

At the same time, the leaders of other powers also turned their gazes toward Zhu Minglang.

“I will only bring my own Dragon Shepherd Team, not representing Zhu Gate,” Zhu Minglang stated bluntly.

“Brother Zhu is truly a brave warrior!”

“If a surprise force passes through the Absolute Valley beneath the clouds and reaches the rear of Absolute Ridge Chengbang, taking the city will be as easy as turning one’s hand!” Emperor Wuhou said.

Admiring gazes fell on Zhu Minglang, who maintained a confident and composed expression.

A true brave warrior?

In fact, Zhu Minglang had no choice; the rear of Absolute Ridge Chengbang was precisely the Absolute Valley below the clouds.

That is to say, Zhu Minglang had to not only traverse the impregnable Absolute Ridge Chengbang but also descend into Absolute Valley once to reach the Thunderwing Mountain Summit.

Since he had to descend into the Absolute Valley anyway, Zhu Minglang thought it might as well be from here; at least he could cooperate with the main army to launch a pincer attack from front and rear, to take down Absolute Ridge Chengbang with as few losses as possible.

“If you, Zhu Minglang, are leading the team, I’m afraid no one will dare to follow you down,” Zhou Xian of the Great Zhou Clan said with a smile, his words tinged with sarcasm.

“Then will you go?” Zhu Minglang said.

“Our Great Zhou Clan will still face the enemy from the front.”

The crowd cast scornful glances at Zhou Xian.

If you can do it, then go ahead. Stop talking nonsense!

“Entering Absolute Valley should not involve many people, but their Cultivation Base must be high. Each major power should either send a King-Level Realm Expert or a team composed of Monarch Level individuals to accompany Zhu Minglang through the Absolute Valley beneath the clouds,” Li Yunzi told the representatives of the seated powers.

In a frontal siege against the Cloud Ridge City Wall, every soldier faced a life-and-death test. The side with towering city walls had a natural advantage, and to leap over this deadly ridge wall was essentially to pile up corpses.

With the army paying such a heavy price, how could the powers sit back and reap the benefits?

“Did the Female Monarch plan from the beginning for us to go through this Absolute Valley below the clouds?” the leader of the Red Dragon Valley said.

“Yes.” Li Yunzi nodded.

“I don’t understand why a tiny Absolute Ridge Chengbang should be so wary of them; by tomorrow at noon, my Red Dragon Valley will take the lead, and with your dragons, we’ll break the city siege,” said Li Huoyun, the leader of Red Dragon Valley.

“That’s fine by me. Those forces unwilling to enter Absolute Valley can choose to lead the charge,” Li Yunzi had no objections to Red Dragon Valley’s boldness.

As the commander appointed by the Imperial Dynasty, in terms of warfare, Li Yunzi naturally surpassed the sect leaders, elders, and hall chiefs of the various forces. Even if they held discontent in their hearts, they had to comply.

The various forces quickly made their decisions, with about half choosing to enter Absolute Valley and the other half opting to lead the charge.

Some forces had done their homework; they were well aware that the Giant Ridge General of Absolute Ridge Chengbang was more formidable than they had imagined, especially as they held the geographical advantage of the Cloud Ridge State Wall.

Leading the charge was just as perilous!

…

Zhu Minglang’s main goal remained the Thunderwing God Seed. The ascent of Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon to Dragon King Level would be a significant upgrade, potentially influencing the outcome of such a large-scale war.

Just as Li Yunzi said, the number of people entering Absolute Valley shouldn’t be too high, and the army definitely shouldn’t go there. Their average cultivation base was low, and they mainly relied on numbers; if they encountered groups like the Mosquito Dragon in Absolute Valley, they’d purely be delivering a feast.

Time was of the essence, as their logistics team had been attacked by Mosquito Dragons, making it imperative to swiftly conclude this siege.

The various forces also selected a portion of their higher-cultivation base individuals to follow Zhu Minglang down into Absolute Valley.

Absolute Valley was deep, shrouded year-round in a poisonous haze that could only be avoided by sliding down certain mountain ridges and ravines.

The interior of Absolute Valley was dim; even at noon, when the sunlight shone straight down, it became especially hazy. The winding and complicated paths of Absolute Valley resembled a labyrinth, home to demonic creatures and evil beings that most people outside had neither seen nor heard of.

“With the strength of our team, the Mosquito Dragons wouldn’t dare attack us easily, right?”

“The fear is that within this Absolute Valley, there are existences even more terrible than the Mosquito Dragons.”

“Spat spat spat, don’t speak such unlucky words!”

Zhu Minglang, as the leader, was naturally at the front.

By his side followed his little aunt, who, as always, wore a veil.

Zhu Minglang wanted to ask Nan Lingsha about the Time Wave, but he noticed she was holding a fairy-like bunny in her arms…

Oh, a switch of person!

Nan Yuso lifted her cheeks; those eyes, bright and clear even in the dim Absolute Valley, gazed at Zhu Minglang, brimming with puzzled twinkles.

Where is this?

What am I doing?

Isn’t this stinky man next to me Zhu Minglang!n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

“Miss Yu Suo… It’s been days, I’ve missed you,” Zhu Minglang smiled, attempting to appear as suave and nonchalant as ever.

It’s easier to recognize artist little aunt and Big Fairy little aunt, but Yunzi and Star Painting, if they don’t speak… it’s really too hard!!

“Zhu Lang, are you eloping with me?” Nan Yuso also started laughing, her tone ever-teasing.

“Cough cough, you should look behind.” Zhu Minglang coughed a few times.

Turning her head for a glance, Nan Yuso’s stunningly beautiful cheeks instantly flushed crimson.

Behind her were several hundred people!
