Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Chapter 130 Lure the snake out of its hole

In the Linhui military camp, Luo Hao sat in the position of commander-in-chief. In front of him, the deployments of all the military camps, including Jiexiang and Qianshang, had been gathered.

"Then let's start." Luo Hao looked at Jiexiang and said.

"Hmm." Yuxiang nodded and threw a piece of talisman paper to the ground. The next second, a three-dimensional map appeared before everyone. "This is the full picture of the current deployment of the Ares tribe that I found out through the shikigami."

"The Ares tribe has lived in this valley all year round. Relying on the advantageous terrain, they can effectively prevent all enemy attacks."

Luo Hao nodded and said, "Also, Kami and the others mentioned earlier that the Ares Tribe has gathered all the remnants of the God of War's spirits and is about to obtain the complete Heart of the God of War. The so-called power of the God of War comes from war, and I believe everyone is very clear about this."

He looked towards the camp, and everyone in the camp nodded seriously.

"So we must race against time and completely destroy our opponents before they can synthesize the complete Heart of the God of War." Yuka said.

"But how can we do that?"

"Yes, Miss Yuka just said that these guys are stationed in the valley because of the advantageous terrain. If we rush in rashly, I'm afraid we'll be riddled with hornets' nests before we even see the enemy commander!"

The soldiers said one after another.

"Indeed, the valley is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Furthermore, the enemy possesses the power of the God of War, making it difficult for us to gain an advantage on our home turf. Therefore, we must outsmart them." Jie Xiang zoomed in on a small area on the 3D map. "This area is northwest of the enemy's base. Look carefully, everyone. Surrounded by mountains, the terrain is treacherous, making it a perfect ambush site."

Everyone looked carefully at the map and saw that the area was surrounded by a circle of steep mountains. The peaks were sharp and seemed to pierce the sky, and the mountains were covered with strange rocks.

"Indeed, then what does this have to do with our plan?"

"Yeah, do we have to go through the enemy's defenses and then attack from there?"

The soldiers and generals began to discuss again.

"Of course, everyone, please listen to me. When I used my Shikigami to observe the interior of Ares, I used Taoism to set up a secret portal near the valley. As long as you use the portal, you can reach this mountainous area."

"So how do we do it specifically?" Luo Hao asked.

"It's very simple. We just need to divide the army into two groups. One group will be responsible for the feint attack. After the battle, they will pretend to be defeated and lure all the warriors of the Ares tribe here. The other group will ambush in this section of the mountain road in advance through the teleportation channel. As long as all the warriors of Ares are lured here, we will block the entrance with rocks, and then use long-range means such as rolling logs, thunder stones, catapults, and crossbows to prevent them from going up the mountain." Jiexiang said.

Luo Hao nodded subconsciously: "Yes, it is indeed a good plan. As long as we delay their army, the leader of Ares will be isolated and helpless. We can take advantage of the opportunity to seize the Heart of the God of War."

"That's what I said, but who will do it?"

"Yes, our people, apart from feinting and ambushing, are here to defend the city. Who has the strength to seize the Heart of the God of War? You know, it's a complete corrupted element."

"Don't worry about this," Luo Hao said, "because someone will help us do it later."

……

"This is the entire plan we discussed. I wonder if you have any questions." Luo Hao looked at Yaohui, Mo Yan and others and said.

"No problem." Yao Hui nodded and said, "Originally, the Holy Lord sent me here to find and recover the Heart of the God of War. Moreover, facing the complete power of war, I'm afraid there is no one else besides us here."

"Well, it's settled then." Luo Hao nodded, then looked at Kami beside him, "But Kami, if you don't want to, I won't force you to join. After all, I also know that this operation is too dangerous."

"No need," Kemi said, her attitude now very firm. "I've made up my mind. Since my father risked his life to prevent the outbreak of war, how can I, as his daughter, let his wish be in vain? I will join Lord Yaohui in the plan to seize the Heart of the God of War. I want nothing else but to prove that I am a Linhui person, not the despicable prisoner of war he claims!"

Hearing this, Luo Hao smiled slightly and said, "Really? Well, since it's your choice, I won't say much. Be careful on your journey, Kemi!"

"You are also a sir. I wish you good luck in your military career!" Kimi put one hand on his chest and saluted as a Linhui soldier.

"In that case, let's make preparations as soon as possible!" Karen said excitedly.

"Okay!" Everyone said in unison.

Seeing this, Luo Hao was very pleased and said, "In that case, I will wait for your good news. In addition, the plan will be implemented tonight. When the time comes, please take care of yourselves."

"Ah."

In the evening, the Linhui Army and the mercenary group left the city gate and distributed themselves around the border as planned. As the cannons rang out, thousands of troops swarmed towards the canyon intersection.

Ding-ding-ding-ding!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" the Ares warrior on guard shouted loudly.

In an instant, the entire Ares tribe fell into chaos. Ares' warriors quickly picked up their weapons and rushed out of the tents, their eyes full of vigilance and anger.

The feinted attack of the Linhui Army and the mercenary group surged forward like a surging tide, their shouts and cries shook the sky, and they seemed to be very powerful.

Athenus stood on a high place, looking at the aggressive enemies. He looked down upon them and snorted coldly: "Humph, what a bunch of stupid guys! Kill them all immediately!"

"Yes!"

The Ares warriors behind him agreed at the same time and immediately threw themselves into battle, while Athens returned to the center of the base and continued to wait for the Heart of the God of War to be completed.

However, he was unaware of the hidden plot. The warriors of the Rising Sun Army engaged the soldiers of the Ares Tribe in fierce combat, their blades clashing and sparks flying. Following their plan, the Rising Sun Army fought and retreated, deliberately revealing their weaknesses and appearing to be defeated.

The Ares tribe's soldiers, bewildered by the Risen Army's feigned retreat, began to pursue them closely, their shouts echoing through the valley, as if victory were already within their grasp.

Meanwhile, another wave of Linhui troops, led by Jiexiang, had quietly arrived in the northwest mountainous area via a secret teleportation channel. They quickly concealed themselves, prepared various long-range attack weapons such as catapults and crossbows, and quietly awaited the enemy's arrival.

As the feint attack troops gradually led all the Ares warriors to the mountainous area, Yuxiang gave an order and the soldiers who had been prepared in advance quickly sealed the entrance with huge rocks.

boom--

"Ah, what's going on?"

"Not good? The entrance is sealed."

The loud noise attracted the attention of Ares' warriors. They quickly turned around and realized that they had fallen into a trap. They tried to open the pile of stones in front of them, but it was too late.
