    The news in the past few days made even Tang Tian feel that he was caught unprepared.


    First, it was the Aquarius Constetion, then the Taurus Constetion, and then the Aries Constetion. In the blinkof an eye, three of the Ecliptic Pce Constetions had fallen. In the entire Heaven’s Road, everyone wasdumbfounded, the Honorable Martial Group, had been a hegemon of Heaven’s Road for so many years, but neveronce did anyone felt so fearful of them.


    Defeating three Ecliptic Pce Constetions were so easy as though they were red heated des cutting acrossbutter, they did not even spare much effort.


    The Winter Army defeated the ck Feathers Mount in a face to facebat, and burned down the Aries Pce.The Saint Blood Army destroyed the Bullhorn Army, and epted the Taurus Constetion’s surrender. The twoterrifying armies cleansed the battlefield, using the beautiful victories, they showed their prowess to the entireHeaven’s Road.


    n Elder An, the youngest n Elder amongst the 13 n Elders, shocked the entire Heaven’s Road.


    The first to panic were not the smaller constetions, but the Ecliptic Pce Constetions. Thesergeconstetions, after being at the top of the food chain for so long, maintained a tacit understanding between eachother without anypetition, they did not have any natural predators and ledfortable lives. Even if it was theMartial Group or Onyx Soul, they all lived in harmony.


    Slow and without pressure. That was what described the lives in the Ecliptic Pce Constetions the best.


    Suddenly, the silence and peace was broken, they realised in panic that they had be the prey. Three EclipticPce Constetions had fallen, striking an unprecedented fear into the other Ecliptic Pce Constetions.


    Almost all of the Ecliptic Pce Constetions started to prepare their armies for war. But after having peace for too long, their speed of preparing made them look extremely panicked and chaotic. Only the Leo Constetion remained the same as usual, they had fought with the Honorable Martial Group for a long time, and was the strongest. But they were surprised by the appearance of the Winter Army and the Saint Blood Army, the two brand new armies


    that revealed a terrifying powerful in which even the Leo Constetion dared not be careless with.


    Lei Ang had specially used amunications treasure device to ask Tang Tian about the Blood Meridians Weapons.


    Other than the Leo Constetion, the only other one that was rtively calm was the Sagittarius Constetion. TheEmpress did not care about politics, but she was a Gold Saint, and had sufficient qualifications to maintain calm.Furthermore, everyone in Heaven’s Road knew that the Sagittarius Constetion had a close rtion with the UrsaMajor Constetion, and unless the Honorable Martial Group had gone bonkers, they would not aggravate theSagittarius Constetion.


    It was also the Libra Constetion’s first time obtaining a connection with Tang Tian, and they hoped to achieve aneven deeper level of alliance.


    The Libra Constetion felt an immense pressure on them, their constetion’s general mood was advocating freedom, with all sorts of techniques and sects existing in the constetion, but their fighting ability was not that strong. The higher ups of the Libra Constetion knew their own circumstances, although their advocate for pleasure was different f


    rom the Taurus Constetion and the Aries Constetion, but in the entire Libra Constetion, they were all immersed in learning techniques but did not attach any importance to fighting. When they saw the Ursa Major Constetion’s mechanical techniques sudden emergence, they felt that it was a direction suitable for the Libra Constetion to expand into, and decided to purchase the Ursa Major Constetion’s mechanical spirit weapons and the rted techniques.,


    ThHey had initially thought to digest these techniques and expand on their own Libra Constetion mechanicaltechniques.


    Only when the real war approached did they realise that the long term academics atmosphere in the LibraConstetion produced many schrs, yet was unable to produce any Gold Saints or powerful military generals.Without experienced military generals or trained armies, all of their mechanical spirit weapons were useless.


    The panic and fear spread throughout the higher ups of the Libra Constetion, and the Ursa Major Constetionbecame the only lifeline that they could think of.


    There was no other ally that held such extraordinary power that made them feel much safer.


    It was not only the Libra Constetion, the other Ecliptic Pce Constetions were also looking for allies. Toreorganize their military and equipment was not something that could be achieved overnight, if they wanted to formup their fighting strength, they needed more time. The current Honorable Martial Group was like a monstrous beastthat had opened its mouth wide and was looking for prey after prey.


    n Elder An had gone through the [Honorable Martial Constetion] n with careful deliberations, the firstwave of attacks were aimed at three targets, which were also selected through careful screening. Other than thethree constetions being weak, Aquarius Constetion’s wealth was able to help them for the following battles bysupplying logistics and money. As for the Taurus Constetion and the Aries Constetion, they were like thefrontline powerhouses of the Ecliptic Pce Constetions, and their destruction would be like stabbing two sharpknives into the Ecliptic Pce Constetions.


    The battle progress far exceeded Tang Tian’s expectations.


    When the Taurus Constetion and the Aries Constetion were destroyed, Tang Tian had to cancel his sneakattack. Despite that, a sneak attack on the Honorable Martial Group’s secret encampment and killing off a GoldSaint was extremely alluring to Tang Tian.


    But the Honorable Martial Group’s forceful offense stance caused everyone to feel a chill in their spine.


    “We are now unable to determine who their next target will be.” Tang Tian said gloomily: “They have taken overthree constetions, and their paths to engage have spread even more. Furthermore, the other constetion’sdefenses are full of mistakes.”


    This judgement made everyone feel helpless.


    Other than the new Leo Constetion, all of the other Ecliptic Pce Constetions spent a great deal of effort ondeploying defenses. Due to having peace for too long, they were rather unwary, and, as their deployment required agreat deal of wealth, their ordinary day defense became a problem.


    Who dared to attack the Ecliptic Pces Constetions?


    This phrase always made everyone speechless. Furthermore, spending would always be far greater than what theywould expect.


    Facing the machines of the Honorable Martial Group, the Ecliptic Pce Constetions could only wait like plumpand well fed livestock, waiting to be cut.


    Tang Tian could not help but ask: “What is the Honorable Martial Group trying to do?”


    This was what he could notprehend, it was advantageous to the current Honorable Martial Group. As long asthe Star Door that connects to the Sacred Saint Gxy opens, their army would continue to pour into Heaven’sRoad, and the Honorable Martial Group would be sessful.


    Now that the Honorable Martial Group was performing arge scale attack on the Ecliptic Pce Constetions, ifthey said that the attack on the Aquarius Constetion was for money, then why would they attack the TaurusConstetion and the Aries Constetion, could it be that they were not afraid of the Ecliptic Pce Constetionsforming an alliance against them?


    As long as they formed an alliance, it would be an extreme provocation to the Honorable Martial Group.


    Maybe the Ecliptic Pce Alliance would not fare well against Honorable Martial Group in the early stages of thebattle, but as time passes, the Ecliptic Pce Alliance would gradually be more suited for battle, and theirprofound and deep history within their families would be unleashed. THey held an astronomical sum of manpowerand boundless of resource, with their star treasures, if they were to put everything into the battle, they would beable to produce terrifying power.


    Why would the Honorable Martial Group risk universal condemnation and take the risk?


    Tang Tian did not understand.


    But it was not only him, the others could notprehend the situation as well. If it was given as the old HonorableMartial Group was like a cunning old man, then he would not be a lunatic. Although the cunning old man’s every stepwould cause everyone to be careful, but his every step was calcted and nned, while no one knew what thelunatic was doing.


    If he could not understand it, he would ignore it. That was Tang Tian’s style.


    To the current Ursa Major Constetion, opening the pathway to the Sacred Saint Gxy was the most pressingmatter. As long as they formed the connection, the Ursa Major Constetion’s strength would take a qualitativeleap. At that time, he would hold advantages of both Heaven’s Road and the Sacred Saint Gxy, and would notneed to be afraid of anyone.


    ~Who cares if there were a myriad of changes, they would be speared to death!~


    Tang Tian handed over the defensive matters of Heaven’s Road to Tang Chou. With him around, even if theHonorable Martial Group had any secret weapons, thinking to break into Ursa Major Constetion would definitelynot be easy.


    He suddenly realised that the crux of the war was him.


    What he wanted to do, was not just to bring the Null Division into the Sacred Saint Gxy as reinforcements, butmost importantly to form the connection, a race against time.


    “We are preparing to move out!”


    Tang Tian shouted.


    ***************


    Bing bit his cigarette as he read the report in his hands carefully, behind the lingering smoke, he started to frown.The Southern Alliance’s recentrge scale ughtering of pirates, at the moment had turned very slow. It was notthat the pirates in the Southern Region was powerful, but the pirates seemed to have vanished in a night.


    This unordinary movement immediately roused Bing’s attention. Such a big movement was impossible to not raisethe cautiousness of the pirates. But for the pirates to suddenly disappear, it meant that there was some plot at hand.


    Bing knew that behind the pirates, were the Honorable Martial Continent people. With them amongst the pirates,the matter would definitely not be so simple.


    ~Where did they go to? What are they nning to do?~


    Bing had not even noticed that the cigarette had burned to its end. No matter how big pirates were, they were stillpirates, and they would definitely lose to a standard army in a head on sh. The advantages of pirates were that inthe ever changing sea of energy, they moved like the wind, disappearing and appearing as and when they liked.Furthermore, they were better in warship battles, and not battles inside Continents.


    He believed that themander in the Honorable Martial Continent could see that as well, and have decided toce the battle inside the Sea of Energy.


    The sudden disappearance of the pirates made Bing realize that inside the pirates camps, there was definitely apowerful military general.


    “Report! The Young Leaf Continent suffered an attack, their Hong Shan City was sieged!”


    “Report! Great Vige Continent suffered an attack, the Yong Li City was sieged!”


    “Report! Meadow Viper Continent suffered an attack, the Yang Rong City was sieged!”


    ......


    ......


    In an instant, multiple reports came up, causing the atmosphere to be extremely tensed. In the blink of an eye,everywhere was enveloped in the mes of war, causing everyone to feel uneasy. 13 Cities were suddenly attacked,and seven of them that were sieged experienced a baptism, while the other six pushed back the pirates.


    ~Powerful!~


    Upon receiving the news, Bing’s first reaction was to praise them.


    ~The opponent’s move was brilliant!~


    The cities that were attacked were all the cities inside the small continents of the Southern Alliance. And the citieswere not the heavily guarded main cities, but were still considered important, although the loss was not fatal, but itwas still a headache. To the small continents, their resources were initially thin and they decided to join theSouthern Alliance in hopes ofnding themselves in some riches. Now, they did not even receive any benefits, butsuffered heavy losses, how could the small continents tolerate it?


    Such a result caused people’s heart to stir.


    How will the Southern Alliance reimburse the loss of the small continents? How would they handle the pirates, andgive an ount to the small continents?


    If it was not handled properly, it would definitely cause endless troubles. It was like being cut by a small knife,leaving a small wound on your body. Although it is not fatal, but if you do not cover it up or bandage it up, it wouldgradually lead to a loss of blood.


    Bing carefully studied the map and marked out the cities that were attacked.


    He had to admit the craftiness of the opponent.


    All of the cities’ positions were randomly ced with no definite pattern to their attacks. No one was able to figureout where their main body was and where they nned to hit next.


    ~The enemy is an expert!~
