435: Old Fox Li Fufeng

"Open the Formation!"

The first old man crossed the border, and without hesitation, directly threw the Formation Core onto the ground.

The other old warriors around him, who possessed Water-element talent, immediately felt full of energy, their faces filled with pleasant surprise.

Then, the second old man continued to open the Formation.

The third.

The fourth.

The fifth…

In an instant, all the young people observing the battle from the periphery were stunned.

Because the combat prowess of these old men was simply astonishing.

Everyone opened their Formations in different locations, with each Formation covering a radius of ten thousand meters.

And at this moment, starting from the riverbank where they crossed the border, the placement of each Formation Core was perfectly executed, not wasting a single square centimeter of space.

Each Formation was incredibly symmetrical and neat, encompassing the army's advance route, gradually encroaching upon the border territory of the foreign races!

You must understand, this was a battlefield, not a video game!

Battlefields are extremely intense, with situations changing in an instant; everyone can make mistakes or misjudgments.

However, this group of veterans, with all their choices and judgments being perfectly executed, gave the young people observing from the rear a valuable lesson.

Perhaps their strength was not as great as it once was, and they no longer had any potential for the future.

But they had fought wars for decades, even centuries, and had all survived, living to this day!

Their battlefield experience was something the young people could not imagine!

Those foreign race cannon fodder also rushed forward, but every one of their movements was perfectly predicted and dodged by the veterans, who then sharply raised their weapons, striking at the enemy's core weak points for a fatal blow!

Their movements flowed like clouds and water, making the scalps of the young Geniuses in the rear tingle.

Young people relied on their reaction speed.

But these old men could actually predict the opponent's next move directly before they even made a move, and then counterattack with a set of skills, directly turning the tables.

Barren Cave was bewildered; he was completely bewildered.

He thought it was 500,000 cannon fodder against 300,000 cannon fodder.

It didn't matter if they were a bit weaker on their side.

500,000 people to bury 300,000 of you, that was quite reasonable.

The Sea Emperor, who was beside him, sighed.

Barren Cave was still too much of an armchair strategist.

Their Wild Bone Clan had rarely fought wars in the past few centuries and had no idea what the true face of a battlefield looked like.

Were those 300,000 old men on the verge of death?

Those were clearly 300,000 battle-hardened and experienced elites!

But what surprised the foreign races even more was the Human Race's Formation.

It was too exquisite, and they dared not gamble on how many Formation Cores the Human Race truly possessed.

If the opponent had enough Formation Cores to cover the entire Tianhe Forest.

Then what would the foreign races even fight for?

All Water-element Cultivators of the Human Race would receive a significant boost!

And in Tianhe Pass, there was no shortage of Water-element Cultivators!

Barren Cave grew anxious.

Although not many cannon fodder had died, less than ten thousand, the opponent's Formation had already covered nearly a tenth of the territory.

And only half an hour had passed!

They couldn't continue fighting like this.

He suddenly turned his head and roared, "Send in the first batch of regular troops!"

With that command, the foreign races finally dispatched their true elites.

And among these elites, Lintao and several elite teams of Water Spirits were mixed in!

Logically, Lintao and the Water Spirits should not have entered the field so quickly, but this was at the Sea Emperor's instruction.

He glanced at Lintao without changing his expression.

Lintao nodded imperceptibly, then turned to look at Huang Lin.

Huang Lin was the strongest Genius of the Wild Bone Clan in this generation; his destructive power was extremely strong, but he seemed to be a man of few words, having barely spoken to anyone in Lintao's team since joining, preferring to fight alone.

At this moment, Huang Lin also glanced at Barren Cave.

His meaning was clear: the Water Spirits were going in.

What about them?

Barren Cave, however, chose to remain silent.

The higher-ups had said to wait until Lilith also entered the field before making a move!

It had just begun; it wasn't time for harvesting yet.

The reason Lilith wasn't entering the field now was also due to the characteristics of her own race.

The more people died on the battlefield, the more blood there was, the stronger she became.

Therefore, once the number of casualties on both sides exceeded one hundred thousand, this would become Lilith's home ground.

But.

As time passed, Barren Cave discovered that the rhythm of this battle had completely changed; it was entirely within the Human Race's grasp!

He suddenly stood up, and a thought suddenly became clear in his mind.

Why were they fighting this battle?

Their Wild Bone Clan was fighting to plunder resources, absorb Water Element creatures, and make themselves stronger.

The Blood Clan was the same; the more people died, the more blood there was, the more benefits they would gain.

So, for them, the longer the battle lasted, the better!

But now, the situation had completely changed.

He suddenly realized.

The Human Race's objective in fighting this battle seemed even more outrageous.

They wanted to directly annex Tianhe Forest, to expand their border outwards!

Once the Water Element Formations covered the entire forest, they could then continue to build defensive fortresses, directly bringing Tianhe Forest into their possession.

To directly take over this strategically important land?

Barren Cave nervously looked up and glanced at the figure floating high in the Human Race's territory.

Li Fufeng!

This seemingly amiable old man, his strategic thinking was actually so decisive and fierce?

Directly eating up your territory?

"I'll be back!"

Barren Cave turned and left, preparing to contact Arthas to ask him what to do.

The Sea Emperor subtly glanced at Barren Cave's retreating back, then looked up at Li Fufeng, beginning to re-evaluate in his mind why the situation had developed to this extent.

The reason seemed very simple.

The battle with Tianhe Pass began with the Wild Bone Clan inexplicably wanting to rush over and fight.

But the Wild Bone Clan didn't know how to fight; they simply didn't know how to wage war!

They thought they could catch the Human Race off guard!

Little did they know, the Human Race had always been on high alert, ready to engage in any battle!

Most importantly, after the foreign races' first batch of regular troops poured in, the Human Race's first batch of regular troops also entered.

But the Wild Bone Clan was still hesitant to enter.

This was a huge blow to the morale of the foreign races.

Because you were the one who wanted to fight.

Yet you yourself didn't fight?

It was one thing to send those cannon fodder to their deaths, but were you treating their regular troops as cannon fodder too?

Naturally, the Battle Intent of the people from the other races was weak; they fought while retreating, forming a stark contrast with the Human Race, who advanced like a broken bamboo.

Therefore, only two hours had passed, and over a hundred thousand foreign race cannon fodder had died.

The Human Race had almost no casualties, and the Formation had already covered nearly a third of the area.

In other words, originally, Tianhe Forest was half Human Race and half foreign race.

Now, however, seventy percent belonged to the Human Race, with the foreign races only having thirty percent left!

If the battle continued like this, the foreign races would definitely lose.

But the Sea Emperor was not flustered.

He was the one who instructed his own clan members to fight while retreating, never taking the initiative to attack.

Because it had been agreed beforehand that the Wild Bone Clan would be the vanguard.

If you're not going in now, why should I risk my life for you?

Besides, this barrier only sealed the Realm, not space; if they couldn't win, they would retreat, and if they lost Tianhe Forest, then so be it.

The Eighth War Zone was not just the war zone of his Water Spirit Clan alone.

Soon, in just five minutes, Barren Cave returned.

This time, he seemed like a changed man; the panic on his face had disappeared, and his expression was incredibly calm.

"All Wild Bone Clan, listen to my command!"

"All forces attack!"

"First objective, dismantle the Human Race's Formation!"

"Second objective, cross the riverbank and build foreign race fortresses!"

After speaking, he looked at the Sea Emperor and smiled, "We were a bit overconfident earlier."

"But thankfully, only a little over two hundred thousand cannon fodder have died so far, and the regular troops haven't suffered any damage."

"We can turn this around."

"It's time for you to put in some serious effort, isn't it?"

The Sea Emperor felt a strange sense of nervousness.

But seeing almost all of the Wild Bone Clan's mid-level combatants enter the fray and begin fighting fiercely, he had no reason to let his clan members hold back any longer.

"Water Spirit Clan, listen to my command! Lead the various races and launch a counterattack!"
