When Long Yao and others discovered that something seemed to be wrong in Jiang Yu's camp, they immediately sent people to investigate.
Finally, when the Winged People scouts arrived above the Jiang Yu Alliance’s original camp, they soon discovered that something was wrong with the camp.
The camp was deserted.
The Winged People's scouts circled in the air, carefully observing the original camp of Jiang Yu's alliance, their hearts full of doubts and vigilance.
Inside the camp, the bustling scene that should have been there was gone, replaced by a dead silence, as if no one had ever lived here.
"Lord Long Yao, there are no signs of any activity in the camp, and no smoke is rising. It looks like it has been abandoned for a long time."
The Winged People scout reported the situation to Long Yao with a hint of uneasiness in his voice.
Upon hearing this, Long Yao frowned and had a bad feeling in his heart.
He quickly summoned the lords around him to discuss countermeasures.
"This is so strange. Jiang Yu and his men couldn't have abandoned this camp without a word."
A lord analyzed, "Unless... they encountered some emergency and had to evacuate hastily."
"Or maybe they deliberately set up a trap to lure us into the trap?" Another lord expressed a different opinion.
Long Yao pondered for a moment and decided to go to the camp to find out in person.
"We can't take this lightly. Send an elite team to accompany me into the camp for a detailed search."
"At the same time, all troops are notified to remain on high alert just in case."
Following Long Yao's order, an exploration team composed of elite soldiers quickly assembled and followed him towards the camp.
From the moment they stepped into the camp, they felt an indescribable strange atmosphere.
Although the buildings in the camp seemed intact, the air was filled with a sense of desolation as if no one had visited it for a long time.
The exploration team carefully searched every corner of the camp, from warehouses to training grounds, from living areas to fortifications, leaving no clues behind.
However, no matter how hard they tried, they could not find any clear information about the whereabouts of Jiang Yu Alliance.
At this moment, shocking news came from the rear.
Yunxiao Mountain was occupied by the 100,000-strong army of Jiang Yu's alliance. They unexpectedly broke through the front line of one million troops, came to the foot of Yunxiao Mountain in the rear, and then stormed Yunxiao Mountain.
When Long Yao heard the news, his face turned pale instantly and his eyes were full of disbelief.
He turned around abruptly, staring at the dragon warrior who came to report the news with sharp eyes, as if trying to find a trace of lying on the other's face, but the messenger's firm expression told him that this was no lie.
"Are you sure? Yunxiao Mountain... is really occupied by Jiang Yu and his men?" Long Yao's voice trembled slightly as he tried to get the final confirmation from this dragon member.
The dragon who delivered the message nodded again with a hint of urgency in his voice: "Yes, Lord, our people saw with their own eyes that Jiang Yu's flag had been hung high on the main peak of Yunxiao Mountain."
The generals and counselors around were all horrified when they heard this.
They looked at each other in bewilderment. For a moment, the entire camp fell into dead silence. Only the occasional neighing of a unicorn and the faint sound of weapons colliding could be heard in the distance.
"This...how is this possible?" A dragon general muttered to himself. He shook his head vigorously, as if trying to drive this unrealistic idea out of his mind.
But reality was like an icy blade, cutting through his sanity time and time again.
"Jiang Yu, how did he do it?" Another strategist clenched his fists, his eyes burning with fighting spirit and confusion.
He knew very well that it was not easy to break through the defense of a million-strong army silently. Xiong Hou thought for a moment, "Could it be that they used some kind of teleportation artifact?"
Long Yao took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner turmoil.
"It's very likely. I've seen teleportation relics before, but it's not easy to see a teleportation relic of this size and quantity that can transport 100,000 people at once. The most important thing is..." Long Yao looked at Shen Lin, "I remember I confirmed with you that the relics in Jiang Yu's hand in the Chaos Battlefield were once obtained by you, so you know the functions of these relics. I remember that there should be no teleportation relics among these relics."
Shen Lin nodded, "Yes, I clearly remember the function of each relic, and I also promise that I did not lie to you, so I think there are several possibilities."
"Possibility one, Jiang Yu's teleportation relic is newly acquired. After all, it has been a while since we went to the Chaos Battlefield. This is not impossible."
"Possibility two, Jiang Yu used his relics to synthesize and obtained a more powerful relic. I think this is the most likely possibility."
"Possibility three, this teleportation relic was obtained by someone else in Jiang Yu's alliance, and then lent to Jiang Yu."
Long Yao nodded. Indeed, Shen Lin had mentioned several possibilities.
These are indeed the only possibilities.
"Damn it! I had clearly thought about this possibility a long time ago, but still..." Long Yao's face looked grim.
"Long Yao, there is no point in saying this now. There are countless relics in this universe. It is impossible to calculate everything without information about the opponent's relics. We should come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible." Shen Lin said.
Long Yao shook his head bitterly, "Methods? Jiang Yu and his men have already occupied Yunxiao Mountain. The positions of both sides have changed. If we want to attack by force, even if we can capture it, I am afraid that our million-strong army will be completely wiped out."
"Unless we can gather the original 5 million people, otherwise... our plan can be said to have failed."
Shen Lin remained silent.
indeed.
Long Yao is right.
But he was unwilling to do so.
To be honest, he didn't understand why Jiang Yu always did things that were unexpected to them.
"Okay, notify all the lords and prepare to retreat. We lost this time." Long Yao said.
But please note that you just lost, not failed.
Because Jiang Yu was unable to destroy them either.
Or a draw would be fine.
But right now they have no way to deal with Jiang Yu.
"No, maybe there is still a chance. Let's attack Jiang Yu's territory now. With millions of people attacking Jiang Yu's territory, Jiang Yu will definitely have no way out. I don't believe he can teleport back to his territory in one breath!" Shen Lin thought of something and said.
Long Yao thought about it and felt that this plan seemed feasible, but also seemed not to be feasible.
"What if Jiang Yu takes this opportunity to attack your and my territory?"
"Well..." Shen Lin frowned, "It depends on who arrives first. In terms of distance, our territory is farther from here."
"It's useless to look at the distance. We also need to look at the speed. Jiang Yu's alliance has 100,000 people, which is more flexible than our 1 million people. And if they have the blessing of the relics, they may be able to reach our territory faster."
