Despite being ridiculed by Number Eight, the man was not angered. He had long been accustomed to Number Eight's cantankerous nature. However, with Number Eight's interruption, no one else spoke. After all, estimating how many troops to deploy against the Dragon King Hall was indeed difficult.
"Alright, then let's deploy half of our core strength. Additionally, send out three King-level assassins to assassinate the God of War of the Dragon King Hall and the Red Dragon. This time, do not fail again!"
Number One's aged voice rang out, making the decision.
The people in the room couldn't help but gasp. Half of their core strength and three King-level assassins – they were truly using their reserves this time!
They knew that when they annihilated the thirty members of the God of War Alliance previously, they had only used one-fifth of their core strength, and no King-level assassins were deployed at all.
Yet, this time, they were dispatching three King-level assassins. The scale of this move was immense, considering the Assassin Alliance only had a total of seven King-level assassins. King-level assassins would not be deployed unless absolutely necessary.
"I have no objections!" someone agreed.
"I have no objections either!"
"I agree!"
Everyone present voiced their opinions. Number Eight opened his mouth, wanting to retort further, but in the end, he could only sit down dejectedly, as if drained of all energy, and said:
"Whatever you say, goes!"
"Good! Then it's decided!" Number One struck the final nail in the coffin, and then his figure vanished from the room.
Following that, the other figures also disappeared one after another, leaving the room without any further anomalies.
Somewhere in Europe, in a magnificent ancient castle, a young man furiously smashed everything in sight.
He had an Eastern face, with a handsome and dashing appearance. At this moment, his expression was grim, his face flushed with anger.
"Idiots! A bunch of idiots!" the young man cursed, in a fit of rage.
"Deploying half their core personnel to deal with the Dragon King Hall? Have you all gone senile! Still thinking it's like before!"
"The Dragon King is the world's number one God of War, and his current strength is unknown. Each of the twenty-seven Gods of War under his command is stronger than ordinary Gods of War, not to mention they now have the Red Dragon's assistance. This amount of strength is clearly sending themselves to their deaths!" the young man ranted, his face filled with indignation.
He was Number Eight, the heir to an ancient and powerful family in Europe. After his father died, he inherited the codename of Number Eight within the Assassin Alliance.
However, despite his intense anger, he was helpless. The Assassin Alliance was not solely his to command.
After venting his frustration, Number Eight sat down, a sinister glint in his eyes, and muttered to himself.
"When all you old geezers are dead, it will be my time to rise. The Assassin Alliance is obsolete, and obsolete things should be eliminated, hehe!"
"Dragon King Hall, Assassin Alliance, War Zone, hehe, all these backward things must be destroyed. Only when you are all destroyed will my new world be born! And I, will become the supreme god of the new world!"
Meanwhile, at Li Xiaotian's side, the Dragon King Hall was also rapidly constructing defensive fortifications. He knew that he would face even fiercer retaliation next.
"King! The Red Dragon Legion has arrived. General Qin requests to be given command of the northern defenses north of our headquarters," Long Yi entered the Dragon King Hall and said respectfully to Li Xiaotian.
"Grant it to him, and send some people from the Dark Division to assist. General Qin is not an outsider," Li Xiaotian instructed.
Qin Tian Ce's request to guard the northern defenses alone was undoubtedly a great help to the Dragon King Hall. This allowed the Dragon King Hall to free up more forces, thus strengthening the defenses on the other three sides.
"Has the Dark Division found anything?" Li Xiaotian asked.
"The brothers from the Dark Division followed the fleeing enemy forces and located several strongholds. However, there are too many enemy soldiers in those few strongholds, making it difficult for us to split our forces to eliminate them," Long Yi replied.
At this time, the Dragon King Hall was focused on defense and should not attack. After all, since the war began, they had gained too many advantages and inflicted heavy losses on the Assassin Alliance. There was no rush to eliminate those newly discovered strongholds.
"Then maintain full alert. After we win the next battle, it will be time for our entire army to advance," Li Xiaotian's eyes flashed with sharp light. Once the Assassin Alliance suffered defeat for the second time, he could launch his offensive, and he believed that many other forces would also join the ranks of those conquering the Assassin Alliance.
As dusk gradually fell, the War Zone was exceptionally quiet that night, without a single sound. All factions were awaiting the Assassin Alliance's second counterattack, waiting for the outcome of this war.
All the warriors of the Dragon King Hall remained on high alert, guarding the surroundings of the Dragon King Hall and constantly dispatching scouts to explore the situation outside.
Li Xiaotian ascended to the highest structure of the Dragon King Hall, followed by Long Yi and Commander Mei of the Dark Division.
"King, I believe those bastards from the Assassin Alliance won't launch a counterattack tonight. They suffered so many losses yesterday; it's not beneficial for them to force a battle again at this time," Long Yi said. He had analyzed it many times in his mind. If he were a member of the Assassin Alliance, he would definitely wait until he was fully prepared before counterattacking.
After all, the Assassin Alliance had just made a huge fortune, and their morale was unstable. Launching a second major battle would be an irrational decision.
Li Xiaotian shook his head with a smile, his eyes carrying an unprecedented level of caution. He spoke in a calm tone.
"We won yesterday's battle too easily, and our opponents yesterday were too weak."
"What do you mean?" Long Yi looked confused.
Li Xiaotian did not elaborate for Long Yi. Instead, Commander Mei, who was behind him, spoke:
"Yesterday evening, when our respective powerful Gods of War clashed, the opponent's people were clearly weaker. Moreover, the Assassin Alliance specializes in cultivating assassins, but our opponents yesterday did not seem like assassins! They were like us, for example, Dark Night."
"How is that possible? Yesterday, dozens of their Gods of War were deployed. Are you saying those people were not the core fighting force of the Assassin Alliance at all?" Long Yi's expression was filled with disbelief. If that were true, then the Assassin Alliance would be too terrifying!
"I believe that the people who made the move last night were likely peripheral members of the Assassin Alliance. They do not have access to the core interests of the Assassin Alliance, and their relationship with the Assassin Alliance is more like that of mercenaries or collaborators," Commander Mei said calmly and methodically.
"The last time the thirty members of the God of War Alliance were wiped out overnight, if they had encountered the same opponents as we did last night, they would have had no chance of being defeated."
"Therefore, it indicates that the opponents they encountered last time possessed overwhelming strength. We know that Dark Night joined the Assassin Alliance only after being defeated by us. Previously, he was a King and would never have cooperated with the Assassin Alliance."
