Chapter 5148 (2/2)

Other than the legions of Black Ink Clan cannon fodder that were killed, twobattle

As the remnants of the Black Ink Clan retreated to the next Territory Lord domain, and the Expeditionary Force continued to advance, it was only to be expected that the Hureeted by fiercer counterattacks and resistance

This was si Kai encountered when he wreaked havoc at in the Yin-Yang Theatre The deeper he went into Black Ink Clan territory, the more concentrated the enemy resistance became

The Expeditionary Force set up a tement in the domain of the recently conquered Territory Lord doed aBlack Ink Strength so that the soldiers could rest and recuperate

Yang Kai was su in front, “What are your orders, Seniors?”

Ding Yao said, “How many Universe Arrays are needed to set up a direct link to Blue Sky Pass from here?”

The Universe Array was an extremely convenient tool that allowed cultivators to use the Universe Transference Law to return to it any ti as they were in the same World, there was, theoretically, no limit to the distance one could traverse However, there were still limits to what individual cultivators could endure

This place was very far away from Blue Sky Pass Even so, those from Blue Sky Pass could still use the Universe Arrays aboard the Purifying Black Ink Battleshi+ps to communicate with the Expeditionary Force However, if a cultivator really tried to teleport back directly, not many of theh the Void Even a Seventh-Order Open Heaven Realm Master faced the risk of instant death if they attehth-Order Masters could safely accomplish this

Thus, there had to be a transit point set up using another Universe Array

Yang Kai was the only one capable of doing this, which hy the Eighth-Order Masters su Kai pondered for athe endurance lih”

Ding Yao nodded and replied, “As expected”

Yang Kai’s heart skipped a beat as he asked, “Isn’t the Expeditionary Force continuing?”

Ding Yao shook his head, “We can’t Although the Black Ink Clan suffered huge losses, we’ve also suffered casualties The Expeditionary Force soldiers need to take Purifying Black Ink Pills every ti crusade, the Purifying Black Ink Pill stock is running low The Warshi+ps have also suffered varying degrees of dae, which could not be repaired in the heat of battle Additionally, there are other considerations, so this crusade has to stop here”

Yang Kai understood all these issues and had also anticipated this happening sooner or later In fact, those in the Expeditionary Force with a little bit of foresight were aware that they were at the limit of what they could do so far away froin to rapidly climb if the Expeditionary Force advanced any further

Additionally, the closer they got to the Royal City, the more intense the Black Ink Clan’s resistance would become Blue Sky Pass’s forces could not bear such losses

Although the crusade was not coreat victory for the Huht to the Black Ink Clan

Privately, the soldiers were discussing when the Expeditionary Force would withdraw, but there were many different opinions and no definite conclusions; after all, only the Eighth-Order Open Heaven Realm Masters had the authority to decide suchKai did not have the authority to discuss such hth-Order Masters

However, what Ding Yao said seemed to indicate that he did not intend to withdraw If they were to withdrahy bother arrangingKai suddenly realized so and asked, “Sirs, do you intend to perround we’ve taken and reduce the territory controlled by the Black Ink Clan?”

Liang Yu Long smiled and said, “You’re a quick one En, we intend to hold our position here, expanding our territory while reducing the Black Ink Clan’s The Expeditionary Force has spent so e swath of territory, how could we give it up just like that? The Expeditionary Force will not move forward, but ill also not retreat We will build a forward outpost here and repel any Black Ink Clanse The Black Ink Clanto have lost so much territory Just by the losses of the Black Ink Clan after the battles, it would take the as the Expeditionary Force is here though, there is no way the Black Ink Clan can co Kai was shocked by the boldness of these Eighth-Order Masters

By doing this, the Black Ink Clan would surely have hard times ahead Not only would they lose almost half of their territories, all the resources of those territories would be denied to the their ar

Thus, even if the Expeditionary Force was not as powerful as the whole of Blue Sky Pass, as long as they held their ground here, they would be able to restrict the restoration of the Black Ink Clan in this Theatre

Yang Kai even predicted that the Expeditionary Force would continue to launch attacks from time to time in order to hamper the Black Ink Clan’s recovery efforts

When the ti the Royal City was certainly a possibilitySuch a glorious goal could not be accoh and would take many years of effort

Compared to a direct attack on the Royal City, this tactic was much slower, but it was more secure and assured Furthermore, the current situation did not allow the Expeditionary Force to continue their istics could not keep up and the soldiers of the Expeditionary Force needed to rest and recuperate just as much as the Black Ink Clan

Blue Sky Pass only had so a forward outpost here would spread its forces thin On top of that, the Universe Arrays that needed to be set up between the two had to be guarded, which would consu Kai’s concern as the Eighth-Order Open Heaven Real out the details

What he needed to do noas to find suitable locations for the two Universe Arrays, and then link the Expeditionary Force and Blue Sky Pass together, to ensure that they could support each other rapidly

That was the reason the Eighth-Order Open Heaven Real
