Chapter 1604 – Battle Analysis

Appreciation has little to do with someone's relationship with another. Nobody was sure if Hawkins was a good leader, but Mu Yao can't deny that Hawkins was an outstanding person.

He may not be good at politics nor calculations, but Hawkins was a hard warrior through and through. He looks down on cowards, but once he discovers that he was wrong, he is able to face the consequences. This was something that not a lot of people could do.

Mu Yao looked at Hawkins, then he laughed and said, "Elder Hawkins is too polite. Please come in." Then he invited Hawkins into the Hell King's Ship.

Although Mu Yao stayed in the fortress the most, it didn't allow people from the outside to enter. Therefore, when they receive people, they do it on the Hell King's Ship.

Mu Yao invited Hawkins inside. The cabin was already transformed into a beautiful lobby.

Upon entering the cabin, Hawkins looked around him and then nodded and said, "Elder Mu, to be honest, I really envy the large artifacts of the Hundred Treasures Realm. If the Divergent Realm has these large artifacts, then I won't mind not using transmission formations for travel."

Mu Yao laughed. Then after inviting Hawkins to sit down, he said, "Elder Hawkins, may I know the reason for your visit?"

Hawkins smiled faintly and said, "It's nothing, I just want to see Elder Mu. This time, our victory is largely thanks to the Hundred Treasures Realm's large artifacts. I want to come and see them for myself."

Hearing Hawkins, Mu Yao couldn't help but stare. Then he said, "Elder Hawkins is too polite. We're allies, naturally we need to deal with our common enemy. This is something we should be doing. Moreover, although we won this battle, the Fireweavers wouldn't fall because of this. We still have more to do."

Hawkins laughed and said, "Elder Mu, you don't have to worry. The Fireweavers have been badly injured this time, and their subordinate realms already ran away. It would be very hard for the Fireweavers to rally their subordinate realms once more. Don't worry, we will definitely be able to drive the Fireweavers out of the Ten-thousand Realm Battlefield in one go."

When he heard this, Mu Yao couldn't help but gently knit his eyebrows. He thought that Hawkins was too optimistic about the situation. The Fireweavers have been on the battlefield for many years. Moreover, as one of the Five Great Realms, its impossible that they had exhausted all of their cards in just one battle. To be honest, cleaning the Fireweavers wasn't as easy as what Hawkins was saying.

But looking at Hawkins, Mu Yao was reminded that this man was full of pride. Even if he said his thoughts, Hawkins might turn a deaf ear to it. Now Mu Yao understood Prisonheart's worries.

Mu Yao agreed that although Hawkins was a good man, he wasn't a qualified leader. A good leader wouldn't be arrogant and underestimate their enemy.

Noticing that Mu Yao was silent, Hawkins knew that he was worried. He couldn't help but curl his lip. To be honest, he really admired the Hundred Treasures Realm's strength. However, he didn't like Mu Yao's mentality. In his opinion, Mu Yao was too cautious, not manly at all.

Hawkins said, "Elder Mu, there's no need to worry too much. I can ensure the quick defeat of the Fireweavers. Naturally, we would need the help of the Hundred Treasures Realm to do so."

Mu Yao looked at Hawkins and said, "Please rest assured, Elder Hawkins. The Hundred Treasures Realm has some grudge to settle with the Fireweavers. How can we let this opportunity go? We will definitely cooperate with the Divergent Realm."

Hawkins laughed and said, "Alright, Elder Mu's words makes me feel relieved. Elder Mu, I'll assure you that the Divergent Realm will help you settle this enmity. Alright, I guess its time for me to say goodbye."

After he said that, Hawkins stood up and cupped his fist towards Mu Yao before leaving. Mu Yao quickly followed Hawkins to see him off. After sending Hawkins away, Mu Yao called Zhao Hai and Mu Yu over. He frowned as he said, "Little Hai, Little Yu, you need to pay attention. Make sure that the people of the Hundred Treasures Realm are safe. I just found out that the people of the Divergent Realm have been consumed by this victory. They fail to understand that the Fireweavers are also a great power that has a deep foundation in the battlefield."

Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Elder can rest assured, we will not leave and act on our own. And even if the Fireweavers decide to attack us, there's no chance for them to evade our notice."

Mu Yao nodded, "Alright, but still be careful. The Fireweavers just wouldn't let this go. The war might not have even begun."

Zhao Hai and Mu Yu were silent. They both agreed to Mu Yao's words. There's a difference between a Great Realm like the Fireweavers and a high-grade realm like the Ghost Spirit Realm. The Ghost Spirit Realm was a high-grade realm in the Land of Chaos. And relatively speaking, the Ghost Spirit Realm didn't have a lot of strategic resources. And yet, it was only after the Hundred Treasures Realm's careful preparations as well as the help of the other high-grade realms was the Ghost Spirit Realm expelled from the battlefield.

On the other hand, the Fireweavers are one of the Five Great Realms. Their domain was much bigger compared to the Ghost Spirit Realm. Their foundations run very deep. Additionally, the Fireweavers were innately strong. They also have tamed beasts that aid them. The Fireweavers were many folds stronger than the Ghost Spirit Realm. In this case, wanting to expel the Fireweavers in one go was practically impossible.

Moreover, Zhao Hai knew that even if the Fireweavers lost in this battle, they were doing very well on the other front. They were successfully pushing the Sword Realm back.

Zhao Hai was confident in his large artifacts. However, large artifacts could only do so much. They were powerful at crashing into enemy lines, but there were already measures to deal with them. They can use formations to reduce the impact of large artifacts. Similarly, they could loosen their army formation so that the large artifacts' charges weren't very effective. Zhao Hai knew that it would no longer be easy to charge into enemy lines and cause chaos in the future. This was because Zhao Hai saw the Fireweavers turn from a solid formation into a loose formation, and then a three-dimensional formation in this battle.

But now, whether it was Hawkins or Mu Yao, they believed in the large artifacts too much. This wasn't good. Once the effectiveness of the large artifacts decreased, and they could no longer wreak havoc in the battlefield, the blow to morale would be very big.

Fortunately, Mu Yao wasn't like Hawkins who had been blinded by victory. Mu Yao was still wary of the Fireweavers. But this wariness wasn't because of the large artifacts, instead it was a wariness brought by Mu Yao's fear of the Five Great Realms.

Zhao Hai looked at Mu Yao and said, "Elder, there's something I must tell you. This has something to do with the large artifacts."

Hearing Zhao Hai, Mu Yao couldn't help but be anxious. He quickly asked, "What happened to the large artifacts? Did something go wrong?"

Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "There's nothing wrong with the large artifacts. I just discovered some issues." After he said that, he took out a computer and then displayed the battle situation. The projection was in 3D. Zhao Hai pointed towards the projection and said, "Elder, take a look. During the clash between the Fireweavers and the Divergent Realm, let's say they employed this formation. They didn't assume an ordinary planar army formation but instead used a three-dimensional formation. This formation is very loose. If we use large artifacts to attack at this time, then we wouldn't be able to get much results. The following is a simulation I made in case we did send our troops to fight this formation." Then Zhao Hai fiddled with his computer before the image on the screen changed.

Seeing the large artifacts of the Hundred Treasures Realm, the Fireweavers immediately dodged. At the same time, the reserve armies of the Fireweavers rushed over. Along the way, they put down formation flags and established a formation.

Before long, a large formation was set up around the large artifacts. Although the Hundred Treasures Realm's large artifact could break through formations, its speed has been lowered. With this delay, the Fireweaver Army were able to make some adjustments. The formation split in half and let the large artifacts pass through. Meanwhile, their battle with the Divergent Realm didn't stop.

Once the large artifacts got through, the Fireweaver Reserve troops set up another large formation. They were now preparing to meet the attack of the large artifacts head on. At the same time, the main army formation has been restored.

The reserve army established an even greater formation filled with more formation flags and formation disks. As the large artifacts got slower and slower, the Fireweavers continued to tie them down with formations.

At this time, if the cultivators of the Hundred Treasures Realm army charge out, it would be impossible for them to face the attacks of the Fireweaver army.
