The city was built against a mountain, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.

What Jiang Chen had said reminded them of the order given by the general. It seemed true.

"The good news is that if we capture this city, they'll be slowed down," Jiang Chen said.

Confused, the commander of the Tiger Troop said, "Wait. If we capture this city, doesn't it mean there won't be seven cities? Can they still deploy the ward in that case?"

"The seven cities we're aiming for are built at where a blowout of the Black Yellow Gas could happen. Destroying them is our priority, but the ward doesn't necessarily require these seven specific cities," Jiang Chen said.

"In other words, it'll be perfect for the Dragon Rebel Army if all seven of these cities are successfully built, but even if they aren't, as long as they have other cities built on the battlefield, the ward can still be deployed!

"Meaning even if we destroy all of the seven cities, we can't guarantee the safety of other places."

"How cunning the Dragon Rebel Army is. Every part is linked with another. It's impossible to remove all of the potential threats." The news Jiang Chen had brought wasn't good. The soldiers were suffering from low morale.

"Don't worry. The Dragon Rebel Army will absolutely try their best to ensure the successful construction of the first city at a blowout location of the Black Yellow Gas, because the Black Yellow Gas is their target," Jiang Chen said.

Things became clear. They had to capture the city as quickly as possible. The longer it took them, the worse the situation would be for them.

"Pass on my orders. Capture the city in two hours," Zhao Wenhao ordered.

The three middle troops and four battalions from the lower troop prepared themselves for battle as quickly as possible.

"An elite team of the Black Dragon Troop is stationed in the city, so the city is actually heavily guarded. I didn't know why that was, but now I've realized the importance of this city," Zhao Wenhao said.

Jiang Chen didn't respond. Gazing at the city, he suddenly said, "They've started to draw on the Black Yellow Gas."

The three commanders were shocked again, and they also looked over. Over the city, they vaguely saw two different-colored strands of light mingling together.

It was one thing to deploy the ward. It was another to use the Black Yellow Gas.

The commander of the Shadow Pursuing Troop walked over. He hadn't been speaking much. It turned out he had been pondering strategies. "General Zhao, Jiang Chen, we've worked out two battle plans.

"I've discussed with the commander of the Tiger Troop. The formations of the two battle groups will be combined. The Shadow Pursuing Troop will be the riskiest troop. Or we can pick elites from all the troops and battalions to form an elite troop. We'll be a sharp blade that pierces into the enemy's heart!"

Frowning, Zhao Wenhao was considering this. The two plans were both plausible. They both had their strengths and weaknesses.

"Combining the formations is the best solution. Forming an elite team is a surprise move, which could have wonderful effects," Zhao Wenhao said, hesitating. He didn't know which one to choose.

"Jiang Chen, what do you think?" Zhao Wenhao automatically looked towards Jiang Chen again. He had grown used to the latter's help.

"No method is absolutely correct, especially on a battlefield. Even the smartest people don't have the nerve to say their method is the best before they see how it goes," Jiang Chen said. "We should believe ourselves, aiming high and striving for the best results. Even if we fail, we won't regret it."

Zhao Wenhao knitted his brows, with no idea what that was supposed to mean.

Then he tumbled to the realization. He opened his eyes wide, gratitude showing in them.

"Form an elite team." Zhao Wenhao was decisive.

"Okay!"

Soon, the troops and the battalions picked out their best soldiers and generals. There were more than 200 of them, five of whom were Venerables, all Martial Venerables.

It wasn't easy to find a Spiritual Venerable. In that castle, the Spiritual Venerable had only been there because the guards troops had been on a secret mission.

The temporary elite team had practiced before in the Third Legion. They had their own formation.

"Cracking Resistance Formation."

But a problem soon arose. Since Jiang Chen hadn't been in the legion for a long time, he was only familiar with the Cooling Formation. Knowing nothing about the Cracking Resistance Formation, he couldn't even function as a soldier who put energy into the formation.

Qiu Yan immediately decided to have him join the elite team.

"Jiang Chen, you'll be the surrogate commander of the Red Flame Battalion."

"Don't worry. Although the Cracking Resistance Formation doesn't know me, I might know it. Show me how it works," Jiang Chen said.

If the request had been made by another person, he would have been cursed at, but it was Jiang Chen, so there was no problem at all.

The elite team was led by the commander of the Shadow Pursuing Troop. They entered the Cracking Resistance Formation and transformed into a convertible silver blade.

As per Jiang Chen's request, the blade kept changing. It stretched to its limit into the thin face of a mirror, shining with the luster of metal and extremely sharp.

Then the elite team switched off the formation. The blade also disappeared.

"Jiang Chen, what do you think?" Zhao Wenhao asked.

Jiang Chen's help wouldn't necessarily benefit the Cracking Resistance Formation to work better, but he could see through the tactical formations and wards deployed in the city.

That was what would help the elite team capture the city.

"I've figured out the secret of the Cracking Resistance Formation. Let me join the first array of the formation," Jiang Chen said.

The first array referred to those who controlled the variation and action of the formation.

The second array referred to the soldiers who were the energy source of the formation. They would listen to the first array's directions.

As a newbie, it was asking too much for Jiang Chen to join the first array, but no one objected.

"Guys, continue. We must break the enemy's defenses and capture the city in one go!"

Zhao Wenhao didn't join the elite team, as he had to direct the Bright Moon Battle Group. The Shadow Pursuing Troop always acted alone. That was why their commander could be the leader of their formation.

In fact, most people in the elite team were from the Shadow Pursuing Troop.

"Fight!"

When everything was set, the army headed for the city. Almost as soon as they moved, loud horns came from the city.

On the city wall, an old man standing on the stairs was observing the enemy's attack.

"Their formation has changed. They're coming for a life-or-death fight. That Jiang Chen must have come back," said the military counselor of the Black Dragon Troop excitedly.

Unlike Zhao Wenhao, the Dragon Rebel Army had been informed of the battle over the valley.

The Black Dragon General flew into a rage when he had learned Jiang Chen hadn't been killed, and the Black Dragon Troop had lost numerous elite subordinates.

However, this was what the military counselor of the Black Dragon Troop wanted to see.

He hadn't wanted Jiang Chen to die that way, still known as someone who had defeated him!

He wanted to destroy Jiang Chen and save his own reputation. After that, he wouldn't give a damn about Jiang Chen's life.

He had tried his best and put everything he had learned into use to deploy the three tactical formations, the three wards, and the combination of wards and tactical formations.

He was extremely eager to defeat Jiang Chen. He didn't even switch on his wards and tactical formations when facing Zhao Wenhao's attack, afraid they would be exposed prematurely.
