Chapter 487: Chapter 493: The Desert Decisive Battle
United States.
During the White House meeting.
The President asked, "Tell me about the current situation in the Earth Dragon Realm!"
The advisor, holding a document, said, "The Earth Dragon Realm consists of ten major areas. The core area, Dragon Ridge, is the most densely populated by indigenous forces and also the strongest, and has now been completely strategically abandoned."
"The situation in the Nine Great Provinces is also not optimistic. The humans in three provinces have been completely defeated, all strongholds and territories destroyed, and the remaining provinces are also facing threats."
"As for the Desert Province, which has attracted much attention, it is undoubtedly the strongest place for human forces within the Earth Dragon Realm. But even with the involvement of our New York Spirit Sword Bureau and the Azure Dragon Organization, the Desert Province is also facing significant challenges!"
During the conversation.
The advisor presented a set of data.
He said, "The Sand Spring City Lord, Hang Yu, the top leader of the Azure Dragon Organization, recently mobilized all the forces of the thirty-two towns in his territory. However, even so, they can muster only about forty thousand troops at most."
"Including all the humans in the Desert Province, there are just over fifty thousand troops available to resist the enemy. Although this may seem like a considerable number, it’s important to note that, according to my information, a force of nearly eighty thousand is gathering towards Sand Spring City!"
"Sand Spring City is not only outnumbered but also significantly inferior in overall military strength compared to the adversary corps. In terms of high-end combat power, we believe that even if Hang Yu is strong, he cannot be more powerful than the Governor of the Wilderness, Nazg!"
"Besides Nazg, this battle will also involve three Great Lords, one to two hundred famous experts from the Desert Province. The humans have no advantage whatsoever. According to the analysis by the advisory team, the chances of winning this battle are no more than 10%!"
"Our current recommendation is to cautiously invest in strategic resources, consider withdrawing the New York Spirit Sword Bureau to avoid significant losses."
The President fell into deep thought after hearing the report.
The suggestion from the advisory team must have been made based on rational analysis.
At this stage, many things are already transparent, whether it’s the data, skills of Hang Yu or Xu Tianhua and Zhao Ming, or the number and overall strength of the troops from Sand Spring City and the thirty-two towns.
The collection of data and intelligence has become increasingly detailed.
As a result, the deviation in the analytical results by the think tank has become increasingly small.
From the current situation, the Desert Province is indeed very dangerous.
"This isn’t the first time!"
"Over the past month, many excellent teams have been destroyed in the expansion of the Spirit Realm, and many top talents cultivated by various countries have never returned!"
The President slammed his hand angrily on the table: "Precisely because of this, we cannot back down. Support the New York Spirit Sword Bureau, fight!"
......
At the same time.
Huaxia also convened a discussion meeting.
"The Desert Province is the most important frontier stronghold in the Spirit Realm. If this place is carelessly taken, it would deal a heavy blow to humanity and might even directly affect the future Spirit Realm strategy of various countries and forces."
The Celestial Net Minister was reporting the situation to the Number One Leader.
"This battle is not just a fight between the Azure Dragon and the people of the Desert Province. It’s closely related to the country and everyone individually. We must fully support the Azure Dragon, provide as much help and facilitation as possible, and we must win this battle!" The Leader said, "Inform Hang Yu to give it his all, but ensure his own safety!"
The Celestial Net Minister responded, "Understood!"
......
On the network.
Various messages were flying around.
The Azure Dragon of the Desert Province is an obvious team.
Hang Yu leads a group of prominent celebrities in the Spirit Realm.
Such a major event is bound to become a hot topic, and now the detailed situations of the Earth Dragon Realm and the Desert Province have been circulated online. Bai Xuan, the Celestial Net Squad Leader of Lu City, was following the latest developments.
"United We Stand! Sand Spring City Self-defense Corps Successfully Established!"
"Latest Insider News: Boss Hang plans to lead an allied army of fifty thousand from Sand Spring City to engage the indigenous giant army in the Death Desert!"
"Fifty Thousand VS Eighty Thousand, What Are Boss Hang’s Odds This Time?"
"One Governor, Three Great Lords, a hundred experts from the Spirit Realm, an army of eighty thousand in scale... can the Azure Dragon create another miracle?"
...
Bai Xuan, after all, is the Celestial Net Squad Leader.
She clearly understood what these reports signified.
For Hang Yu to be able to integrate the Sand Spring City troops at the first opportunity is indeed an extraordinary achievement, indicating his already high prestige in Sand Spring City, and that the Minor Lords place immense trust and faith in him.
Such cohesion cannot be displayed by any other human territory at this moment, and precisely because of this, a glimmer of hope has been seen.
The odds of winning are still not significant!
Hang Yu actually abandoned the defense of the city, mobilizing fifty thousand troops to the Death Desert, opting for a decisive battle strategy.
Although it’s unclear what Boss Hang is thinking.
Such an approach seems overly risky!
Bai Xuan also realized that even if this hurdle is overcome, more challenges await, as his enemies aren’t confined to just the Desert Province, but the entire indigenous forces of the Earth Dragon Realm.
To survive.
How difficult!
One must overcome each obstacle step by step.
Bai Xuan could feel the pressure on Hang Yu.
She only regretted that she wasn’t in the Earth Dragon Realm; otherwise, she would undoubtedly join forces with Hang Yu to fight against the enemies!
......
Actually.
Within Sand Spring City.
The debate hadn’t ceased.
"Boss Hang, I think your proposal for a decisive battle is too aggressive and risky." Chris from the Spirit Sword Bureau expressed doubt: "We currently don’t have a complete grasp on the types of soldiers and the strength of the enemy."
Diana also said, "A decisive battle equates to a final showdown, leaving no room for retreat. All our chips are on the line, and if we don’t win, then we..."
On the City Lord’s throne.
Hang Yu calmly faced everyone’s doubts.
"Old Xu, tell them why this battle must be fought this way!"
Xu Tianhua nodded.
He began explaining.
"If our troops all retreat into Sand Spring City, it seems they could leverage the city’s barrier, high walls, and various traps to gain the advantage of defense."
"But don’t forget, a large half of our forces come from the various towns. If the enemy discovers the main city’s defenses are robust, they will first sweep the thirty-two towns, implementing a strategy to besiege Sand Spring City."
"This would not only cause enormous damage to the territory and make post-war reconstruction costs astronomical, but it would also deliver a heavy blow to military morale, potentially leading to internal collapse!"
Simply put.
This battle not only needs to be won but must also be won with dignity.
If we crush the enemy but the territory is devastated, if the thirty-two towns are all destroyed, such a victory would be meaningless!
Zhao Ming then displayed the map of the Death Desert.
"The Death Desert is situated south of Sand Spring City and is a necessary passage for enemy troops entering the Sand Spring City region. In this area, the field of vision spans hundreds of miles. If we prepare at the strategic points of entry and exit in the Death Desert, we can ensure the enemy is stopped before Sand Spring City!"
"Huaxia has an old saying: ’Raise the spirit in one go, it will weaken in the second attempt, and exhaust in the third.’ We need to gather our strength to finish the fight in one go, otherwise, it would be disadvantageous to us!"
After this explanation.
It barely managed to convince everyone.
The Minor Lords also expressed their agreement.
The City Lord is doing this for the territory’s sake.
Although it’s a bit risky, a desperate fight might just repel the enemy. Since the plan has been set, everyone quickly began preparing, with various magic-guided devices and weapons being transported over.
Jiang Nan came running in, panting, saying, "Great God, good news! Yanjing’s leadership has personally approved donating a thousand Skill Scrolls to us, along with many supplies and reinforcements!"
At this moment, Er Gou also said, "Woof, I’ve received word too. The Spirit Sword Bureau wants to donate five hundred Magic-guided Firearms and a thousand Magic-guided Grenades."
But there’s even more!
Fans of Hang Yu and the Azure Dragon are organizing donation drives across different areas.
They’re buying potions, weapons, and equipment to donate to the Azure Dragon, hoping to contribute their strength and unite against the formidable enemy.
Just like the spirit of all-around support in times of trouble.
Hang Yu didn’t expect this; he never intended to ask for donations. People misunderstand that this battle is not actually perilous; it can even be said to be a sure win, but certain matters are not convenient to disclose before the fight.
Of course.
If you’re offering.
How could we refuse?
Zhao Ming then quietly approached Hang Yu, saying, "We’ve made secret contact with Nazg. Poison Blade is already leading the most elite five thousand troops of Celestial Desolation City to rendezvous with Red Flame at Volcano City."
This is a surprise force.
Once this battle breaks out!
Red Flame and Poison Blade will immediately launch a surprise attack on Dark Fire City and Gale City!
