Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 678

Wang Wei and the group looked at the towering mountain with a castle at the top. It was a world of white due to the snow, and they observed only one road from the bottom to the top.

"This thing is a nightmare to conquer," said Tie Gang. "There is only one path, and our troops would be decimated before reaching the top. Even with the Undying Legion, we would suffer terrible losses before we reach the castle."

"It's a double-layer formation," added Yan Liling. "The outer formation covers the mountain, while the inner layer protects the castle. Both are Immortal Tier, if not more."

"I'm guessing the Array Virus will not work for these formations?" asked Li Jun.

"No," replied Wang Ju.

"With the formation, it's virtually impossible to dig secret tunnels to reach the top," Li Jun added. "We cannot use blockade tactics since they are likely self-sufficient with a small world full of resources.

"We do not know the effect the low temperature will have on our soldiers, and given this stupid game, there will definitely be consequences."

Everyone looked at the map, shaking their head. Without all the restrictions, they would have way more options to conquer this mountain. But as of now, it was impenetrable.

"The best tactic would be to lure them out," added Tie Gang. "But I doubt the enemy is so stupid. So far, the Sloth King seems a rather careful individual by his actions, and he might not even be in the base."

"The conclusion is we might be able to conquer this place, but the damage to our troops would be catastrophic. So, it's not worth it," concluded Li Jun before looking at Wang Wei. "What do you think?"

"I don't care about the Sloth King. However, If I can get my hands on this base, my understanding of Order-Disorder Dao would benefit immensely."

"Do you want to take the risk? The price we will have to use to retrain these troops is not worth the benefit. I'm sure you can find another way to comprehend the laws from this game." Li Jun spent too much time with these men and did not want to die needlessly.

"We don't have to lose much. We will use their rules against them," replied Wang Wei before explaining his tactic.

"That might work, but you must deal with the formations."

"Leave it to Liling and me."

Li Jun quickly mobilized the troops and divided them into many groups before sending them back to the previous cities they had conquered. Meanwhile, Wang Wei and Yan Liling sat cross-legged before the mountain entrance, analyzing this Immortal Formation.

The process went smoothly with Wang Wei at the helm. Although his main body stopped studying professions, his other incarnations had plenty of time and took any chance they had to practice. So, he only had to absorb their knowledge and experience.

Two weeks later, the preparations finished. Wang Wei and Yan Liling activated the Array Flags they planted around the mountain to counter the formation. Then, Li Jun and Tie Gang led the troops.

Surrounding the two legions were two different groups: Fang Lijun's men and a group of mortal devils. With the threat of starving their loved ones, these devils had no choice but to follow orders.

The group then used them as leverage. If the enemy fired on them, they would hit the mortals and be penalized by the rules.

As expected, no one fired on the troops as they slowly marched up the mountain toward the castle. On the way up, Wang Wei and Yan Liling will continue to lay flags in different spots.

"Damn it," said the Castle Captain with gritted teeth as he watched the enemy's tactic. With this method, he could not use wide-scale attacks through the soldiers or the mountain formation. He could not even use an avalanche as a tactic.

"Archers, shoot the people in the middle," he ordered, and his troops responded. Unfortunately, Li Jun's troops were also elite and countered these attacks with their own arrows. Furthermore, they used Fang Lijun's men as shields when necessary.

After marching a quarter up the mountain, Li Jun already noticed his man's stamina deteriorated at a faster rate than before, most likely because of the snow. So, he ordered them to stop and set up camp.

A group of archers will be on guard before switching to another. Yan Liling set up a formation of her own to protect the group and give them time to rest. She also ensured the devil mortal had proper heating; the last thing the group needed was for any of these people to die because of them.

Inside the castle:

The captain knelt while talking to a floating mirror.

"I guess I should have expected such cruel tactics from the Myriad Emperor people."

"Master, do you want to attack? We are willing to bear the consequences."

"No, Heavenly Dao is on our side because we care and protect the people to the best of our ability. Doing this is counterproductive to our purpose," disagreed Sloth.

"According to the game rule, we can use the base's power after conquering it," stated Wang Wei as he looked at the mirror. _{free𝑤ebnovel.com}
