After obtaining information from Ye Li and Huo Xing, Saint Bai Lian finally realized the problem.
It only took him a quarter of an hour to assemble the 30,000 White Lotus Army, his strongest force.
The White Lotus Army's barracks were located in a relatively secluded valley outside of the White Lotus City. There were no other barracks around, so when they were fully assembled, no one knew about it.
The White Lotus Saint had a gloomy face and arrived at the location of the White Lotus Army at the fastest speed.
Looking at the assembled 30,000 troops, Saint White Lotus said, "Listen carefully, the battle we are about to fight may involve us attacking some of our former comrades.
But now they have chosen to betray us, and we have no choice but to ruthlessly eradicate them.
No one is allowed to show mercy in the battle, no matter which team we are fighting, and no matter whether you know the opponent or not, as long as I order to kill, you can only move forward with your swords!!!"
After hearing what Saint White Lotus said, he knocked his chest with his right hand and let out a shout.
This army is directly under the command of Saint White Lotus and will only obey his orders. Their loyalty is extremely high.
He led the army personally, with a dozen Shinto masters following him. A group of 30,000 people left the valley in a mighty manner and chased in the direction where the Qinglian Army left at the fastest speed.
Although the Green Lotus Army left earlier, they had relatively more people and their combat capabilities were not as good as those of the White Lotus Army, so their movement speed was much slower. The White Lotus Saint believed that they should be able to catch up with the enemy.
The Tianshui clan is not nearby, and it will take at least four days to get there.
The White Lotus Saint led the White Lotus Army in non-stop pursuit, and finally at dusk on the third day they caught up with the Green Lotus Army which was about to arrive at the Tianshui clan's territory.
Seeing the White Lotus Saint and the White Lotus Army appear in front of his own troops, Huayan, the leader of the Green Lotus Army, was somewhat puzzled.
"Holy Lord, why are you here!?"
Huayan knelt on the ground and saluted the Holy Lord Bailian, then began to ask questions.
Saint White Lotus said, “This is a long story, but to put it simply, we have fallen into someone’s conspiracy.
If you were allowed to go alone, you would certainly be ambushed and attacked by more soldiers than you expected.
Just like the 20,000 men before you, you will certainly suffer a heavy defeat, and most likely be wiped out.”
Hearing what Saint White Lotus said, Hua Yan was stunned and said, "Saint, this... How is this possible? How can the Tianshui clan have so many people!?"
Saint White Lotus shook his head and said, "These people are not from the Tianshui clan, they... are our people!"
Afterwards, Saint White Lotus told them their speculations, and Hua Yan showed a look of shock on his face, saying, "This... This is really unbelievable..."
Saint White Lotus nodded and said, "Not to mention you, even I can't believe it.
But this is basically the case. The enemy must have set up an ambush ahead, so we have to..."
After a discussion between Saint Bai Lian and Hua Yan, Zhong Yu decided on the next battle plan.
Then the Qinglian Army took the lead and continued to march towards the territory of the Tianshui clan.
Huayan looked a little serious at this time. The enemy that they originally thought they could easily wipe out had now reached the point where it could threaten them.
Even if Saint White Lotus had not come, he would most likely become a corpse after this battle.
It doesn't feel good to be schemed against by others, and the feeling of being schemed against by your own people can only be worse.
Huayan led the Qinglian Army and quickly entered the territory of the Tiansui clan, and rushed towards the other tribal residence in a mighty manner.
Soon, a force of 30,000 people appeared not far from them.
This army of 30,000 people was naturally the enemy force that had previously killed their 20,000 people.
This enemy force was located at the bottom of a valley-shaped passage, which seemed to be where their camp was located.
Huayan couldn't help but frown when he saw the valley. If another army came from behind when they went through the valley to attack the army of 30,000, then they would be in big trouble.
However, thinking about their plan with the White Lotus Army, Huayan finally gritted his teeth and rushed towards the enemy.
The valley in front of them was very wide, and even with an army of 50,000 people charging in formation, it did not seem crowded.
Soon, the 50,000-strong army rushed into the valley completely, collided with the enemy in front, and launched an all-out attack.
Because the enemy was located right at the exit of the wide area of the valley, the enemy's formation was like the bottom of a pocket, blocking the entire entrance to the valley.
Although the Qinglian Army in the valley could keep its square formation intact, it was difficult for them to change the formation and they were unable to separate the opposing forces for combat.
Relying solely on the soldiers at the front of the phalanx to exchange rows with the enemy is not only inefficient, but also has weak lethality and does not reflect the advantage of numbers at all.
When the fighting was very fierce, a shouting sounded suddenly from the back. A force of about 30,000 people suddenly rushed out from the rear of the Qinglian Army, formed into a charging formation, and attacked the Qinglian Army's back frantically.
As expected, Huayan gave an order and the Qinglian Army instantly split into two parts. One part continued to fight the enemy at the entrance of the valley, while the other part used a defensive formation to resist the enemy that suddenly emerged from behind.
The enemy did not seem to expect the Qinglian Army to react so quickly. Their surprise attack did not catch the enemy off guard, but instead entangled them with the enemy.
Among the 30,000 people who suddenly rushed out, the first part were soldiers wearing the robes of the White Lotus Nation. They were the guards of more than a dozen cities who had been dispatched at the same time in the name of suppressing bandits.
When they saw that their opponents were the Qinglian Army, the expressions on their faces were also extremely shocked, because they had never thought that they would actually fight against the Qinglian Army.
However, the officers in the team were all following orders from their superiors, and behind them there were the same number of followers of the Ran Deng Sect launching the attack.
Even if these guards wanted to stop, they couldn't do it and could only be pushed to the front of the Qinglian Army.
The two sides have already engaged each other, so it is naturally impossible to stop. Even if the soldiers of the guard army don't want to fight, they can't, because if you are a little slow, you may be killed by the Qinglian Army. In the end, both sides are forced to fight each other.
Hua Yan looked at the enemies in front and behind him and shouted to the Qinglian Army: "Hold on, defend as much as possible and reduce casualties!!!"
The purpose of this Qinglian Army is not to kill the enemy, their purpose is to delay the enemy.
