Chapter 148 The Flame Emperor's Reason, The Road Without Time
Chapter 148 The Flame Emperor's Reason, The Road Without Time
In Zhang Zhao's memory, he was short-tempered, decisive, and intolerant of even the slightest injustice.
武痴
These are all ways to describe this person.
This was an attack launched after being provoked by the enemy.
Why didn't he come out and fight these invaders to the death?
Lure out Emperor Yan, then go get the energy crystal.
A relatively simple plan.
The key point is who will hold off Emperor Yan and who will retrieve the energy crystal.
Soldiers against soldiers, against generals.
Lu Fa wanted him to fight the Flame Emperor, and then the three captains would go.
The supply line has been cut off.
Kufens had already freed his hands.
This is a perfectly reasonable plan.
But unexpectedly, Emperor Yan did not play by the rules at all.
Does he have a strategist by his side?
That was all Zhang Zhao could think.
"Could it be Xing Tian's summoner?"
Is he good at strategy? Zhang Zhao thought of the information provided by Lu Fa.
-----------------
Deep within the Fiery Star.
A volcano, with a palace that is not particularly luxurious.
The palace's exterior is constructed of solid volcanic rock, its rough surface displaying a dark red hue, as if it had been ravaged by endless war. Waves of heat rise continuously from the crater, causing the air around the palace to distort slightly, creating a faint, almost imperceptible barrier of heat.
The palace gates are tall and heavy, inlaid with black metal and red stone, and carved with ancient and mysterious patterns.
Pushing open the door, a wave of scorching heat hits you, making you feel as if you're in a giant furnace.
Inside the palace, the first thing that catches the eye is a huge and spacious training ground. The ground is paved with smooth volcanic rock, the dark red rocks shimmering faintly in the firelight.
Thick stone pillars stand around the training ground, each carved with exquisite patterns, some depicting valiant warriors, others mysterious runes.
The training ground was not exactly empty at the moment.
Four figures darted and weaved here.
They were engaged in a dazzling array of clashes.
These are the four suits of armor that Yan Xing possesses.
Four figures flashed and darted about, and a fierce battle atmosphere filled the air.
Emperor Yan stood with his hands behind his back, wearing that imposing battle robe.
He didn't use his hands.
With only his willpower and leg armor, he engaged in battle with the three suits of armor: Xing Tian, Fei Ying, and Jingang.
The summoner of the Xingtian Armor wielded the Fire Execution Sword, fiercely slashing at Emperor Yan with unstoppable momentum. However, Emperor Yan merely shifted his body slightly, easily dodging the attack.
The Flying Shadow Armor darted across the battlefield like lightning, launching surprise attacks from all angles.
But it was as if Emperor Yan could foresee his actions. Every time, just as Fei Ying was about to attack, he would slightly shift his feet, causing Fei Ying's attack to miss.
The Vajra Armor charged forward repeatedly, relying on its immense strength. The Flame Emperor, however, simply nodded his head, and a powerful energy surge sent the Vajra Armor staggering back several steps.
Despite their best efforts, the summoners of the three suits of armor were unable to inflict any real damage on the Flame Emperor. Instead, they gradually became overwhelmed by the Flame Emperor's seemingly casual counterattacks.
"This is boring, this is boring, I'm not playing anymore!"
After completely suppressing the armor of his subordinates.
Emperor Yan then lost the will to fight.
Then the transformation was canceled.
Tight-fitting clothes, bald head.
Tattoo.
A burly, strong man emerged from beneath the imposing figure clad in Shura armor.
Clearly, he wasn't in a very good mood at the moment.
"Why won't you let me have a fight with Narufa? Do you think I'm afraid of him? I'll make sure he never leaves alive!"
Enraged, Emperor Yan slammed his fist directly into the stone pillar beside him.
Cracks appeared on the pillar instantly.
"Chief, do you know Lufa's current location?"
Xing Feng, the summoner of the Xingtian Armor, came over and admonished Emperor Yan.
"As leaders of the two warring parties, you are bound to have a battle, and this battle will directly determine the victory of this war."
Xing Feng has a very ordinary appearance.
He rarely smiles.
But he was the only strategist by Emperor Yan's side.
"From the time Ares' army arrived until now, the war has not actually begun. Their army has not directly engaged in combat with us. They are just buzzing around like flies, disturbing us."
"Although our supply lines have been cut off, with the resource reserves of our Flame Star, we can still hold out for a while."
Their purpose is obvious: they want to lure you out and then seize the energy crystal. Lufa is treacherous and cunning; he has undoubtedly set numerous traps for you.
"Leader, we can't fall into their trap so easily." Xing Feng calmly analyzed the situation.
Emperor Yan frowned, a flash of anger in his eyes: "Am I just going to let them provoke me outside? When have I, Emperor Yan, ever been afraid of anyone?"
"Going back to the question we just discussed, where is Lufa now? Is he in the fleet outside Yanxing? Or has he already laid an ambush on Yanxing? We don't even know. Even if you have the Shura Armor's teleportation ability, you can't do that."
We are on the defensive. Our technology is also insufficient to support a counterattack.
Flame Star, in the end, you are the only ruler, leader. As long as you and Energy Crystal are still here, we will never fail!
My armored combat skills tell me!
Those who come after will surpass those who came before; those who plan long-term and act prudently will be victorious in every battle.
We can't rush things!
We just need to wait for Lufa to come here.
We're not in a hurry; it's them who are.
Xing Feng's words made a lot of sense, and Emperor Yan truly took them to heart.
There will definitely be a real battle between them and Lufa.
This is the key point he cares about.
-----------------
Three more days passed just like that.
Zhang Zhao and his group received Lu Fa's assembly order.
"Come here..."
So in a very short time, they arrived at a secluded place on the planet Yanxing and gathered there.
Lufa didn't know how long he had been there.
"Reporting to the general, the entire 24th Netherworld Legion's personal guard is present."
"All eight core members are present."
"All eight new recruits have arrived."
"it is good."
Lufa raised his eyes and glanced at his close subordinates.
Apart from the most core guards, the eight core members are basically all reserves for the Netherworld Legion.
During roll call.
Zhang Zhao listened attentively.
He knew everyone in the guards; he'd heard their names before.
He didn't recognize any of the core members, but he did recognize 1521 (Gorfa), 3066, and 2712 among the new recruits.
"Unfortunately, our battle plan has failed. Emperor Yan is not as foolish as we thought."
Lufa was explaining their failures.
But there was no sign of depression.
"In fact, if Emperor Yan had issued even one order, they would have encountered even bigger problems, yet they did nothing at all. Although the relationship between the major tribes and villages on Yan Star is now extremely poor, and it seems that this planet is already teetering on the brink of collapse..."
"But their true elite forces have never shown themselves; they remain quietly atop that volcano. We must attack..."
Although Yanxing is short of resources.
However, if they abandoned the common people and only supplied those who could fight, they could actually last a long time. Emperor Yan really didn't care about the lives of those people.
The ruthless ruler – Emperor Yan.
Dragging it out seems like a good path.
However, Lufa also made a pledge to launch this war.
Ares, facing numerous challenges and devastation, was still undecided whether to prioritize self-repair or launch a war of attrition.
Therefore, compared to Emperor Yan.
Their Netherworld Legion, on the contrary, couldn't afford to wait any longer.
"Take a day off."
"The final battle will take place tomorrow."
"Yes, General!"
