Chapter 2681: Chapter 2701: Painful Lesson Sharing Session

The demon race’s teams were gathering, and naturally, the Barbarian Tribe’s teams were doing the same.

By this stage of the battle, all individual team members and small teams had been nearly wiped out. Those remaining had already converged according to the prearranged plan, rolling like a snowball to form the last large team with a vast number.

Everyone knew that when these two forces met, it would be the decisive battle that determined victory or defeat.

The assembled demon race’s team advanced toward the central area of the entire battlefield.

At the same time, the Barbarian Tribe’s team had also completed its preparations and marched forward.

The Barbarian Tribe’s team numbered one hundred forty, which was twenty less than the demon race’s team approaching one hundred sixty. However, their overall Combat Power was not inferior since most of the losses and withdrawals from the battlefield in previous battles were members with lower strength.

Even in fierce battles, a strong Top-Grade Da Luo Supreme Immortal might not win, but they could certainly retreat with their whole body intact.

Without any suspense, the teams of the Barbarian Tribe and the demon race met.

Neither side rashly launched a charge. This was no longer a duel between two immortals but a war involving hundreds of people.

If it were a one-on-one duel, there would be no need for hesitation; just charge in and fight. But you can’t play war like that. One slip-up could lead to an overall defeat.

Both sides stopped from afar, and then various reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance methods were deployed to try to understand the enemy’s formation and find their weaknesses.

At the Barbarian Tribe’s temporary command center, Baled was seething with anger, eager to rush into battle and indulge in a satisfying revenge war.

"Baled, this is war, not a competition, so rein in your emotions. Everything is for the tribe!"

The speaker was the Barbarian Tribe’s deputy team leader, Baode Sha. She was a female cultivator, petite compared to the tower-like Baled, and even her features were rather delicate.

Her voice was not loud, but it was filled with undeniable authority.

Baled was the team leader of the entire Barbarian Tribe’s team, but when he heard Baode Sha’s words, with his explosive temper, he did not argue back but reluctantly nodded his head instead.

Baode Sha’s strength was naturally not as great as Baled’s, but she was a renowned sage of the Barbarian Tribe. After the team converged, Baode Sha’s role as deputy team leader was essentially that of the Military Advisor for the entire team.

Charging into battle was certainly a task for Baled, the standard Berserker team leader, but all matters of troop movement, Array Formation planning, and strategy were exclusively managed by Baode Sha.

Baled was the totem of the Barbarian Tribe’s team, the spiritual leader, but Baode Sha was the real core.

Even Baled, the team leader, had to listen to Baode Sha, which was a point repeatedly emphasized by the tribe before participating in the competition.

After his battle with Liu Junru, Baled felt deeply frustrated. If he had encountered Baode Sha earlier, with her cautious nature, they would have surely avoided falling into the enemy’s traps.

Baled listened to Baode Sha analyze the intelligence, and after a while, he felt utterly overwhelmed. "Baode Sha, just tell me when we start the fight. I don’t care about the rest, but that fire-controlling kid—I must extinguish him, even if he surrenders!"

Baode Sha gave him a glance. "Your experience tells us that although he controls the Phoenix Fire Spirit and is skilled in Fire Path, his strength is clearly inferior. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have only lost three men. Such a person will certainly be protected in the rear and won’t give you the opportunity to kill him alone."

Baled clenched his teeth and said, "So we just let this vendetta go? I’ve never suffered such a heavy loss!"

Baode Sha replied coldly, "Originally no, but as long as we defeat them and break their ranks, the opportunity for your revenge will naturally come."

Baode Sha turned her head to look at Hu Erlie, who was sitting in a corner with a pale face. "Hu Erlie, you’ve confronted him twice, do you have anything to say?"

Initially sitting in the corner with a gloomy expression, Hu Erlie’s face turned even uglier when he heard Baode Sha’s question.

Speaking of bad luck, who could be unluckier than him?

He had clashed with Lin Chen twice and been trapped in the Eight Wastes Fire Spirit Formation twice, barely escaping with his life both times, left in an utterly embarrassed state.

The first time, Lin Chen had inflicted a psychological shadow on him. Seeking revenge to erase that shadow, he had ventured out again, only to be defeated once more. This wasn’t merely a psychological shadow anymore; it was complete Inner Demons.

Feeling everyone’s gaze on his face, Hu Erlie’s voice dropped in volume.

"This guy is skilled in Fire Path and has Fire Escape. His Fire Dao Divine Skill has a very high Attack power, but his realm is slightly low, and he mainly relies on sneak attacks rather than direct confrontation. Otherwise, I would not have escaped... twice."

Talking about this made Hu Erlie feel a burning sensation on his face, but for the sake of the tribe, he couldn’t hold back and forced himself to add, "They prefer to lure the enemy deep, enter the Array Formation’s area, then activate the Array, using it to hold off some people while concentrating their forces to break the others, then turn around to encircle those trapped. They defeat them one by one."

"My suggestion is that if the enemy doesn’t suffer heavy casualties, we should retreat orderly. Don’t chase them at all costs, or we might fall into their traps..."
