Chapter Four Hundred and Twelve – Collide (1/2)
Chapter Four Hundred and Twelve – Collide
Unlike Sang Nan and the others who wanted to spit blood, Zuo Mo’s eyes lit up as he watched, his blood was boiling. He wanted to charge straight at the other’s main base with them. How exhilarating it would be! It would be so pleasurable!
Those dazzling tactics were nice to look at, but this kind of straightforward charge suited Zuo Mo’s temper.
Gongsun Cha did not think so much. These strange actions and choices in other people’s eyes were actually made out of his helplessness. He didn’t understand anything about strategic things like yao trees.
If it was any other person, they definitely would not accept this unfair match. But Gongsun Cha never thought about fairness. When had battle ever been fair?
The seemingly crazy Gongsun Cha was icy cold inside. He knew the longer the battle took, the more disadvantageous it was for him. So when he had finished organizing his troops, he charged towards the other’s camp without a moment’s pause.
Right now was the moment the difference between the two forces was the smallest. As time went on, the gap in strength between the two forces would grow.
He also knew that against the mysterious person, charging like this definitely wouldn’t end well. But with no other choice, he could only harden himself and charge.
———
Gongsun Cha had almost frightened Yu Heng. He actually didn’t manage to react.
What strategy was this?
His face was bewildered.
Having served many years in the military, Yu Heng was skilled in all kinds of tactics, and had fought against many experts. Naturally, he had fought against those who were unconventional. But even those abnormally acting experts had just used unconventional gambits. It was possible to determine the intentions behind their maneuvers. War chess had developed over so many years, and the large amounts of tactics had all been studied.
Which opening moves to use in a match was an issue that had been studied the most. There were all kinds of strategies. Many of them were popular for a time, but as time went on and these strategies were fully studied, their weaknesses were exposed, each became less useful. Then they were gradually replaced by new strategies.
Yu Heng’s opening method was a variation on the classic Three Division Opening Method. It put a third of his forces into development, one third into defense, and one third to act as needed.
The three division setup was equalized, had outstanding defense, and great developmental potential over time. It was a very popular and classic opening method. Yu Heng’s three divisions had a few changes focused on the combinations of soldier types, combinations that had made people’s eyes light up in awe. The troops he used to defend and those he reserved to act freely could freely interact and support each other. This unique adjustment caused the Yu Style’s Three Division Opening Method to become even stronger. All the spectators changed expressions upon seeing this, and it was possible to see how skilled Yu Heng was.
But Yu Heng who was skilled in all kinds of strategies never thought the other would charge straight to his door like a brute.
Was he suicidal?
Pausing, Yu Heng instantly reacted.
The offensive power of the Three Division Opening Method was not extremely strong, but the defensive power was not weak. So Yu Heng felt disbelief but he did not panic. His main base had been finished, and the defensive capabilities had been increased. Even if the other’s entire army came to attack, he had enough confidence that he could hold against the other.
However, he still was cautious. Using just the power the other had, it was an impossible mission to attack a completed main camp. Yu Heng believed that Xiao Mo Ge also understood this. Even more, he kept on feeling that Xiao Mo Ge’s purely Flame Boring yao army was a scheme.
Xiao Mo Ge definitely had something else planned, and that would be the true killing move!
He believed his judgment. He did not believe that Xiao Mo Ge had only picked Flame Boring yao. Yu Heng was careful as he directed the troops to advance as he prepared to counter against any move that would appear.

On the other side, Gongsun Cha’s mind was unprecedentedly focused.
Other people only saw him pursuing Yu Heng’s scouts. They did not know that inside the seemingly smooth flow of troops, Gongsun Cha was continuously familiarizing himself with this new troop formation. Every bit of familiarity he gained could add a small chance of success.
Fortunately, he had pondered the snowflake formation for a long time and was not completely unfamiliar with it. As he raced all this way, it became easier to move everything according to his will. This pursuit was like warmup. When he reached Yu Heng’s main base, just having finished his warmup, Gongsun Cha’s presence and attention was at its peak!
The snowflake flood that just reached the outskirts of the main base suddenly accelerated!
They were like a bundle of saw blades that suddenly tore at the main base.
At the same time, Gongsun Cha’s eyes suddenly lit up. His spread out consciousness shook. This vibration seemed to create ripples and rapidly transferred to every corner of the consciousness web.
Woosh!
The red snowflake’s center suddenly lit up and gave off a blinding red light. The red light spread at astounding speed. It seemed to be like flowing metal liquid that flowed along the pathways of the snowflake originating from its center, and quickly reached the tip of each snowflake branch.
When more than eight hundred Flame Boring yao cast fire yao arts at the same time, the heat produced twisted the air. This caused the shape of the snowflake to look somewhat warped.
What was even more stunning was that each Flame Boring yao was situated among the high-speed spinning snowflake!
Each was like a burning hot blade that was furiously humming!
Everyone was shocked at the presence given off by the Flame Boring yao. Everyone had used Flame Boring yao before, but they had never seen such an intimidating presence.
———
Yu Heng’s expression changed dramatically as his troops were struck. The presence suddenly exuded by the enemy surpassed his imagination.
Why was it like this?
He had always assumed that the enemy’s first wave of attack was definitely a feint. The true threat to him was the ambush that was to come later, so he had only sent a small portion of his army to face the enemy. The majority of his troops were waiting for the hidden enemy.
The suddenly fierce attack was like a storm that came without warning!
Six large snowflakes with burning and sharp howls furiously charged his base.
