Blue Sky Pass had clearly planned this crusade for a long time It was impossible to come up with such a plan in just two days
The Expeditionary Force was led by two Ar Black Ink Battleshi+ps were deployed along with about 1,500 Warshi+ps of various Ranks
The huge force set off from Blue Sky Pass as soon as the preparations were completed
Daas also part of the Expeditionary Force, its Squad ht while the ones off duty spent their tie to Dawning Light had been repaired by the Array Masters and Artifact Refiners before they departed Blue Sky Pass, so it was good as new
However, for this crusade, they were not taking many Array Masters and Artifact Refiners with theht not be able to be repaired in short order
This crusade was very different fro the Great Pass When backed by Blue Sky Pass, the Huht with confidence and without fear Even if their Warshi+p was daistical support was close by However, a crusade was not the saistics to support the soldiers would be stretched out over a er area
If this matter was not addressed, it would become a major constraint for this crusade
However, this shortfall could not be satisfactorily resolved If all the available Array Masters and Artifact Refiners were ent of soldiers to protect the capability
Meanwhile, this crusade was more of an attempt to make a statement rather than a concerted effort to eliminate the Black Ink Clan once and for all
Half a month after the Expeditionary Force left Blue Sky Pass, it fought its first major battle with a Black Ink Clan Army of nearly 300,000!
The 700,000 Black Ink Clansmen that had previously attacked Blue Sky Pass were all basically dead or severely wounded, so these 300,000 were assembled from the Black Ink Clan’s reserves
This was the Black Ink Clan’s ht a protracted battle Each tie happened at a Great Pass, the Humans would have to endure many waves of attacks by the subsequent enemy reinforcements, and this time was no exception
However, the collapse of the Black Ink Clan’s Main Army on the front line was too sudden Blue Sky Pass’ 100 year plan was a huge trap that sucked the Black Ink Clan Army, into numerous Universe Paradises and Cave Heavens, where they were htered
The reinforceet the news in time and was led by a sole Territory Lord as they fleards Blue Sky Pass
When they encountered each other, the leading Territory Lord obviously was not aware of what had happened and was caught couard
Of the 300,000 reinforcements, nearly 200,000 were cannon fodder while only 100,000 were High-Rank or above Besides the lone Territory Lord, the strongest Masters a the troops were the Feudal Lords
Such a lineup was no match for the elite soldiers of the Expeditionary Force
The Territory Lord quickly realized that so was amiss and ie towards the Expeditionary Force while he fled at the first opportunity He did not even bother about the rest of his 100,000 troops
It was another great victory for the Humans The 300,000 Black Ink Clan Army was overwhelmed With no Territory Lords to lead and shelter thehth-Order Open Heaven Realm Masters Thus, the Warshi+ps just sailed forward in a straight line and mowed down the scattered Black Ink Clansmen
They took just one day to defeat this reinforcement army The Expeditionary Force then continued to advance undeterred, with its sights set on the Royal City
Along the way, any Black Ink Clanshtered
After another month, they arrived at the first territory controlled by a Territory Lord
This was one of the outerned here was naturally not very powerful as he would be the first to bear the brunt of any Human attacks
In fact, this Territory Lord’s domain had been attacked by Hue ar here with Nu Yan
