Chapter 642: Marching back to the battlefield (I)
Book 8. A shooting star across the blaze of war.
---
There was a massive dark tower in the Golden Core City of the Golden Core Sector, where a dozen men were at the highest level. Each one exuded a monstrous aura and was a seasoned master of war. Yet, the mightiest among them were the trio in the center of the room, observing a holographic representation of the Sector, along with their troops and those of the enemy.
"We have kept the Inferno Daemon Invasion Army forces from crossing the Golden Mountain Range. If they keep pushing forward, they can send small squads across the mountain range and flank the Golden Core City.
If that were to happen, the Void King would only need to draw us to the battlefield and delay our movements for a few hours for the Inferno Daemon's Divine Ascension Master to destroy the city and the Titan Tower."
There was a solemn expression on the Collapsing Lightning Duke's face as he gazed at the holographic map and prepared the next step. While wars in Aether were usually straightforward, with two armies clashing and the one with the better battle formation and soldiers winning, there were also times when strategy and deception were critical.
If they lost the Golden Core City, the Collapsing Lightning Alliance would lose its safe haven and would be forced to pull back much farther away after each clash in order to heal.
Although the Collapsing Lightning Duke was extremely powerful and was able to rally two True Titans, dozens of Divine Ascension Masters, and millions of Wave Kings, the combined power of The Organization and the Inferno Daemon Empire managed to push them out of the Zafiro Sector twelve months ago, forcing the battlefield to the Golden Core Sector.
Not only was this Sector a critical strategic point since it would allow the invading army to spread across the northwest and northeast without a problem, completely dominating the north of Gaia, but it was also the neighboring Sector with the Collapsing Lightning Sector.
If the battle were to carry on south, it would make fighting extremely hard and threaten the lives of billions, so they could not allow it.
