MARTIAL PEAK 5194

At the same time, a confusing command came from above.

Last time, the order was to collect various materials to refine puppets, but this time, it was to collect clothes, regardless of gender or size, as long as they could be worn.

Combined with the orders to mass refine puppets, many people had a vague understanding of the higher-ups' plans.

First, they had spent a large amount of resources to refine a Humanoid Puppet, and now they had come to collect clothes. Their intentions were obvious.

These puppets were indeed used to create a diversion. It was easy to imagine that when the puppet army gathered together, each of them would emit the aura of Open Heaven Stage cultivator above the Fifth Order. At certain times, they could easily attract the attention of the Black Ink Clan.

The Great Evolution's East and West Army could use this opportunity to act.

Although they had already speculated about the uses of these puppets, as to where they would be used and how they would be used, it was not something Yang Kai and the others could easily figure out.

To be honest, if these puppets were to be looked at closely, they would easily be able to see through their flaws, because although they were no different from a real person and could also emit the aura of Open Heaven Stage master, they were only superficial.

However, if these puppets were to put on their clothes and put some distance between them, just the aura of Open Heaven Stage cultivator was enough to make it seem real.

The army had already stepped into the Great Evolution War Zone and could encounter the Black Ink Clan at any moment. The thirty thousand soldiers were all preparing their forces to prepare for the upcoming battle.

On the Team-level Battleships, the team members who were responsible for controlling various Spirit Arrays and artifacts carefully inspected the Spirit Arrays and artifacts they were responsible for, ensuring that nothing was wrong.

The silent Great Evolution Army, which was moving through the void like ghosts, was filled with a murderous aura.

Receiving Xiang Shan's summons, Yang Kai once again entered the Central Army Expelling Black Ink Battleship.

The Old Ancestor and the two Regiment Commanders gathered together, seemingly waiting for him.

After Yang Kai bowed, Xiang Shan went straight to the point, "I have a task for you!"

"Please explain, Sir!" Yang Kai cupped his fists.

Xiang Shan said, "Two months from now, it will be the Great Evolution Pass. I want you to go to Great Evolution Pass first and find the Great Evolution's North and South armies on the other side."

There were more than a hundred human race mountain passes, and this time, the Great Evolution Army was divided into two parts. One part was the Great Evolution's East, and West armies that gathered at Wind and Cloud Pass, while the other was the North and South armies that gathered at Azure Void Pass.

The reason for this was because Wind and Cloud Pass and Azure Void Pass were currently being besieged by the Black Ink Clan, so if the Great Evolution Army was formed in these two passes, they would be able to resolve the situation. Secondly, half of the Great Evolution Army's forces were from these two passes.

Whether it was Wind and Cloud Pass or Azure Void Pass, each of them had deployed fifteen thousand soldiers to gather the sixty thousand Great Evolution soldiers.

So no matter what, the Great Evolution Army would definitely set out from these two mountain passes together.

Yang Kai also knew about these things.

However, what he didn't know was that in the original agreement, the two armies had to set out from different mountain passes at full speed to arrive at Great Evolution Pass at the fastest speed possible.

However, the Great Evolution's East and West armies had encountered the Great Evolution Black Ink Clan's reinforcements along the way, allowing Xiang Shan to have a better response and make various arrangements on the road.

The original plan had changed, so naturally he had to inform the North and South armies, lest they learn nothing about what was happening here.

On the battlefield, the inconvenient flow of information could result in massive losses.

Since he wanted to inform the North and South armies, he naturally had to find a suitable candidate. The first candidate Xiang Shan think of was Yang Kai.

Yang Kai is proficient in the Space Laws and his speed was so fast that even an ordinary Eighth Order master would find it difficult to compare with him. Along the way, even if he encountered the Black Ink Clan's Territory Lord, as long as he was careful, he wouldn't be in any danger.

Moreover, although he had an agreement with the Regiment Commander of the North and South Army, he didn't know exactly where the North and South Army was currently located. If he sent someone else, they might have to slowly search for them.

However, if Yang Kai were to make a trip there, the situation would be different, because Yang Kai was the one who had personally set up the Universe Formation in the various mountain passes' Expelling Black Ink Battleship, allowing him to find the North and South Army easily.

After explaining everything to Yang Kai, Yang Kai naturally agreed.

"Originally, we exchanged communication artifact with the North and South Army. As long as the distance is within a certain range, we can contact each other. However, if you were to personally search for them, there would be no need to go through so much trouble. The North and South Army has also brought out their Expelling Black Ink Battleship. When the time comes, all you need to do is activate the Universe Formation and teleport to the Expelling Black Ink Battleship over there," Xiang Shan said.

Yang Kai nodded, "Disciple understands."

Liu Zhiping said, "Just in case, bring that communication artifact with you. The more methods you have to communicate with them, the more secure it will be!"

Xiang Shan did not object to her saying so.

Liu Zhiping immediately handed a Message Bead to Yang Kai, who solemnly accepted it.

"If you find the North and South Army, inform them that our previous plans have changed. My East and West Army will first attract the attention of the Black Ink Clan and take advantage of this opportunity to rush into the heartland of the Black Ink Clan. If a great battle breaks out over there, Great Evolution Pass' Black Ink Clan will definitely receive news of it. At that time, if Great Evolution Pass' Black Ink Clan doesn't come out, it'll be fine, but if they do, please pay attention to them."

Hearing this, Yang Kai was surprised.

The Great Evolution's East and West armies were actually heading straight for the Black Ink Clan's hinterland?

He had always thought that the goal of this trip was Great Evolution Pass, but he had never expected Xiang Shan's plan to be so bold.

However, after thinking about it for a while, he realized that doing so was obviously better. If the East and West armies were to attack the Black Ink Clan's hinterland, the Black Ink Clan from Great Evolution Pass would definitely not be able to sit still after receiving the news and would rush over to rescue them.

At this time, the North and South armies would attack again and catch them off guard. This method was obviously better than directly attacking Great Evolution Pass.

He had previously been worried that since the Black Ink Clan had been managing Great Evolution Pass for more than thirty thousand years, so they must have made all sorts of arrangements. If they were to attack Great Evolution Pass, the Human Race would suffer a great loss.

However, by luring the snake out of its hole, the situation was different. Without the Great Evolution Pass as a barrier, the Black Ink Clan would lose many advantages.

As long as they could kill the Black Ink Clan in the Great Evolution Pass, the Human Race would be able to easily take back Great Evolution Pass.

It could even be said that if there was a chance to cripple the Black Ink Clan of the Great Evolution War Zone, the Great Evolution Army would be able to gain a foothold after taking back the Great Evolution Pass.

Thinking back and forth, Yang Kai vaguely understood Xiang Shan's plan and couldn't help admiring this Regiment Commander's farsightedness.

"Tell them there's no need to support the east and west armies, just keep an eye on the Great Evolution Pass' Black Ink Clan and kill as many as you can to ensure that the east and west armies won't be attacked from both sides."

"Yes!" Yang Kai complied.

"If there's nothing to prepare, you can set out."

Yang Kai really didn't have anything to prepare, but the hundred or so puppets he had refined before were still stored inside his Space Ring. He immediately took out the Space Ring and handed it to Xiang Shan, cupping his fists and saying, "Disciple will go now."

"Be careful on the road, be safe!" The Old Ancestor who hadn't spoken yet warned.

Yang Kai nodded and flashed out of the Expelling Black Ink Battleship.

There was no need to inform the people from the Dawn Squad about this. Even without him as the Team Leader, Feng Ying and the others could still do very well. After all, they had all been in the Ink Battlefield for thousands of years.

Using his Space Law, his figure flickered and he disappeared.

When he looked back again, he could no longer see the location of the Great Evolution Army's fleet. There were all kinds of hidden artifacts and barriers surrounding it, so unless they were close enough, it was impossible to discover their existence.

Yang Kai didn't stay here any longer. He quickly activated his Space Law and began moving about in the void.

According to Xiang Shan's information, the Great Evolution's North and South Army should be moving faster than this side. Yang Kai estimated that the North and South Army should be arriving near Great Evolution Pass soon, but without receiving any news from the East and West Army, they definitely wouldn't act rashly.

Hiding in the shadows and observing the situation was the safest option.

What he needed to do now was to cross the Great Evolution Pass and find the North and South armies to relay Xiang Shan's orders.

After Yang Kai left, Liu Zhiping said, "It's about time, we should act according to plan."

Xiang Shan nodded, "Collect all the puppets."

An order was passed down, and all Artifact Refiners sent the puppets they had refined over the past year to the Expelling Black Ink Battleship for the Troublesome Grandmaster to personally examine.

There were more than a thousand Artifact Refiners, two Great Grandmaster, and forty or fifty Grandmasters. The results of this year's work could be said to be extremely rich.

The number of puppets refined had reached sixty to seventy thousand!

After all, Yang Kai had refined more than a hundred artifacts by himself, so the other Grandmaster-level Artifact Refiners should be similar. Two Great Grandmaster would be able to refine more, while Grandmaster-level Artifact Refiners would only be able to refine a smaller number. Sixty or seventy thousand was already a terrifying number.

This was almost a number accumulated from all kinds of resources.

This was not the end.

Each puppet required an energy source to activate and use, which was a huge expense.

Fortunately, when the East and West Army set out this time, they had brought a lot of supplies with them, enough to support their expenditure.

It took several days to arrange energy sources for these tens of thousands of puppets before all of them were divided into five parts and placed into he five Space Rings. These space ring were carried by five Eighth Order Garrison Chief, who then flew towards the Great Evolution Pass together.

After these five Eighth Order Garrison Chiefs set out, the giant fleet that had been heading towards Great Evolution Pass suddenly changed directions.

At this moment, the fleet was only two months away from Great Evolution Pass!

On this day.

After fleeing for more than a year, Zhe Chung Territory Lord finally returned to Great Evolution Pass.

The reason he was able to arrive at Great Evolution Pass one and a half months earlier than the Great Evolution fleet was naturally because he was traveling alone and had more freedom. Initially, in order to escape, he had exerted all his strength and ran for a month.

On the other hand, the Great Evolution fleet was an army, so their speed was naturally not as fast as him.

However, this was also the situation Xiang Shan was looking forward to. Zhe Chung had returned to Great Evolution Pass early so he had time to make some arrangements with the Black Ink Clan.

Although he was a Territory Lord, his current expression was somewhat haggard. In reality, at his level of strength, traveling through the void for a year wasn't a big deal. The reason he looked so haggard was mainly because of his mental state.

For some reason, he felt like there were pursuers chasing him.
