Chapter 2041: Chapter 2038: Command Authority

Cheng Minxue smiled slightly and said calmly, "I understand, but given the current situation, breaking through is not a good option. On the contrary, our strength is not as useless as imagined. As long as we join forces, we can organize a successful attack!"

"Moreover, I believe the news of us being surrounded has already spread. As long as we hold out long enough, we will be rescued!" Cheng Minxue said in a deep voice.

The Cheng Family Master hesitated, "But Miss... right now people are in panic, counting on them is simply impossible!"

"That’s why we need our Cheng family to set an example!" Cheng Minxue tossed her head and said, "Let’s go and meet those panicked people. If we want to survive, we have to rely on them."

Outside, the Heaven’s Gate army, a Heaven’s Gate Leader looked at the Defying Heaven Alliance’s base and sneered, "Those fools at the Defying Heaven Alliance have indeed rushed to our abandoned planet. By the time they realize the situation here and arrive, we’ll have already toppled their stronghold!"

"Hmph, what a bunch of idiots, do they really believe that’s our base?" Another Heaven’s Gate Expert sneered and said, "It seems the lessons we’ve given them before were not severe enough. Today, we will bloodwash the Defying Heaven Alliance, making sure no other forces in the Ancient Ruins dare oppose us again."

"When do we start the full attack?"

"Let’s wait a bit longer, until their will completely collapses. That way it will be easier for us!" the Heaven’s Gate Leader said indifferently, "They are just a ragtag group, do you really think they can unite in the face of despair?"

Everyone nodded, with smug smiles appearing on their faces.

For this plan, they even placed several experts on that abandoned planet as bait for the main forces of the Defying Heaven Alliance. Fortunately, the bait worked, and the next step was to reap the ultimate victory.

Within the Defying Heaven Alliance, Cheng Minxue immediately summoned the leaders of various forces.

"To the point, we are facing a very critical situation now, so we must unite, and only then can we fight for that glimmer of hope. If we fight separately, the only outcome awaiting us is total annihilation!"

"The situation is urgent, our main commanders of the Defying Heaven Alliance are not in the base. From now on, I, Cheng Minxue, will fully oversee all matters within the base. Our sole purpose is to organize a counterattack. Does anyone have any objections?" Cheng Minxue scanned the room and said.

A leader from the Mid-level Forces furrowed his brow and said, "Uniting is not a problem, but why should we listen to the orders of a young girl like you? What if you deliberately sacrifice our strength to save yourselves? Do you have any guarantee?"

Cheng Minxue slightly frowned and then glanced at the Cheng Family Expert beside her. The expert immediately understood Cheng Minxue’s intention and swung his long sword. The questioning leader did not even have time to react before his head flew up, spraying blood and leaving everyone in shock.

"This is a critical moment, I hope none of you are harboring ill intentions. If you don’t trust me, you can immediately leave with your people. Henceforth, do not call yourselves a part of the Defying Heaven Alliance, and deal with the pressure from Heaven’s Gate yourselves!"

Cheng Minxue continued, "Since you joined the Defying Heaven Alliance, whatever your thoughts were, in this situation, you have only one choice: to pick up your weapons and follow my orders to fight, do you understand?"

None of them expected that a girl, seemingly weak, would have such courage and boldness while all the men were panicking.

"We, the Cheng family, unconditionally support Miss Cheng’s decision!" The Cheng Family Expert immediately said, then cast a gloomy gaze at the crowd.

The others couldn’t help but curse in their hearts. Cheng Minxue is your Cheng family’s young lady, of course, the Cheng Family Members would support her, what good is saying this now.

"We, the White Star Organization representative, support Miss Cheng’s decision!" Surprisingly, even the White Star Organization stood up to support Cheng Minxue.

The White Star Organization is much stronger than the Cheng family, and their Sect Master is the Alliance Hierarch of the Defying Heaven Alliance.

As the crowd hesitated, the Storm Sect representative also stood up, "We, the Storm Sect, support Miss Cheng."

The crowd looked at this leader with incredulous eyes. This leader smiled bitterly and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, have you thought that besides Miss Cheng, who among you can bear this responsibility?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent. They indeed didn’t quite agree with Cheng Minxue, viewing her as just a junior. But if they were truly placed in this position, facing the Heaven’s Gate army, none of them dared to step forward.

Not everyone has the courage to take risks and face adversity.

"We, the Ximen Family, also support Miss Cheng!"

"We support too!"

...

Soon, everyone present expressed their support for Cheng Minxue. Cheng Minxue remained composed, "Since everyone trusts me, then I won’t be polite. The situation is special now, we must immediately gather our forces, abandon most territories, and consolidate all our power."

The enemy force is inherently strong, if power isn’t concentrated, we simply cannot be their opponent.

Just as Cheng Minxue’s orders were issued, the Defying Heaven Alliance’s defensive formation was attacked by the Heaven’s Gate army.

"Finally, they’re here!" Cheng Minxue looked at the sky filled with fireworks-like attacks and took a deep breath, "Accelerate, retreat fully to designated positions."

The Alliance’s grand array didn’t hold on for long. After tens of breaths, the array shattered, and thousands of Heaven’s Gate experts frantically flooded into the Defying Heaven Alliance’s base.

"Kill, kill them all, let them know Heaven’s Gate is the ruler of the Ancient Ruins!"

"Teach these fellows a profound lesson!"

"Leave none alive, slaughter them all!"

...

This scene was like a replay of the Alliance’s assault on a planet, except now the attackers were the Heaven’s Gate army, while those awaiting massacre were the Alliance personnel.

However, as the army pressed forward, the Heaven’s Gate Commander realized the Defying Heaven Alliance was already an empty shell, most places had been evacuated, which made his expression turn grim.

"Evacuated? That’s impossible. They must be hiding somewhere. Conduct a complete search. I must completely eliminate them!"
