"Then what should we do? We'll listen to you, Brother Dateng."
When it came to fighting the Shitian Clan, Wang Teng had the most say.
Previously, Bai Nianchen had been the commander for other matters, but this was clearly not his area of expertise. The task naturally fell to Wang Teng.
However, at this moment, a cultivator in the Mahayana stage flew overhead and coldly left them with a message: "Seven days from now, on Wuyun Mountain, the Cultivator Alliance will launch a decisive battle with the Shitian Clan. You decide what you want to do."
After speaking, he flew away.
But this attitude greatly displeased everyone!
"We're going to fight, so hurry up and come."
It was truly speechless. Was this the attitude they used to ask for help? It was utterly absurd!
Everyone looked at Wang Teng: "Brother Dateng, what do you think?"
Wang Teng grinned and said, "They look down on us. They want to provoke us, to make us fight harder on the battlefield, but... this trick won't work on me!"
Everyone was stunned. Weren't they going to the battlefield?
Before coming here, Chu Yang had told them that they were a sharp blade on the battlefield, capable of piercing the heart of the Shitian Clan directly.
If they didn't go to the battlefield, wouldn't their combat power be somewhat wasted?
Wang Teng said, "Although my brain isn't as good as yours, I'm thinking, why must we follow the rhythm of the Cultivator Alliance? To be blunt, if it's as you said before, I have no good feelings for this organization, the Cultivator Alliance. Their combat strategies have completely worn down the fighting will of the cultivators, and they still want us to work for them? Dream on!"
"Then what do you mean..."
"They fight, we fight too. We'll just charge in. What's so scary about crossing the line? We've fought Eighth Realm opponents before, what are we afraid of?"
Everyone gasped, and Wu Xiaomi and the others were even more shocked.
This guy was way too reckless!
So aggressive, but if they followed his idea, it seemed pretty cool!
The others also hadn't expected Wang Teng's idea to be so rough. If the Cultivator Alliance didn't give them a good look, then they wouldn't cooperate.
If they wanted to fight outside the main battlefield and couldn't find enough enemies, they would cross the line and charge into the Shitian Clan's lair to kill!
Meng Zibin coughed twice and said, "May I say a few words?"
He had fought alongside Wang Teng for some time and knew that leaving combat plans to Wang Teng wasn't a scientific approach.
"You say it."
"I personally think that what Wang Teng said has some merit. And just like when the other side attacked a few days ago, if we suddenly attack, the other side will definitely be caught off guard, because according to normal logic, we should all appear on the front lines."
"Then what's the difference between what you're saying and what I said?"
"However, this crossing-the-line surprise attack can only be used once. Because after this one time, they will know that we are not on good terms with the Cultivator Alliance, and they will be vigilant about our future actions. Then, we don't know how long it will take to complete our mission."
Everyone scratched their heads. Their mission was to completely liberate this world and utterly defeat the Shitian Clan.
Although they had seemed nonchalant when talking to Wuyuan today, going back shamefully like this would surely disappoint Brother Xian, right?
Regarding this ultimate goal, every step they took had to be carefully planned.
"Then what do we do?"
Meng Zibin's eyes flashed, and he said, "What if we can easily open up a new battlefield?"
"What do you mean? We don't have that many people."
"We do. The Shitian Clan members who came in the day before yesterday massacred a wave. Now is a time of extreme anger for humanity, and the credibility of the Cultivator Alliance has also greatly diminished. People don't seem to believe that the Cultivator Alliance can protect their safety. So, can we also... establish a mercenary alliance?"
Everyone's eyes widened, and they gasped.
Wasn't this openly opposing the Cultivator Alliance?
Meng Zibin spread his hands and said, "Actually, with the current fame of the Ice Sword Mercenary Group, attracting these mercenaries to fight alongside us is not difficult. Many mercenary group idols are like Awei and the others. Fighting side by side with the Ice Sword Mercenary Group is an honor for them."
"But we don't have the leverage to attract them, like the points system of the Cultivator Alliance for rewards..."
"You've misunderstood one thing. These mercenaries never belonged to the Cultivator Alliance. They are actually small groups of scattered cultivators. So, whether they are under the mercenary alliance we form or not, their relationship with the Cultivator Alliance will remain unchanged. It's just that perhaps under our arrangement, they might even find it easier to complete those missions issued by the Cultivator Alliance."
"The Cultivator Alliance certainly wouldn't be happy to see such an organization appear, but as long as our deterrence is strong enough, do you think they would dare to say a word? If they want to enhance their credibility, they will even have to cooperate with us. And this surprise attack of ours is the time to further enhance the prestige of our Ice Sword Mercenary Group. As long as we do it well enough, we won't have to worry about people not wanting to follow us."
Wang Teng quickly gave Meng Zibin a thumbs-up: "You're the smart one, Abi!" 138 Reading Network
After hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.
It sounded very promising, but all of this was based on them gaining enough prestige in this one-time crossing-the-line surprise attack!
Luo Xiaowei called out, "Brothers, since we've decided, let's discuss the battle plan!"
...
Cultivator Alliance Headquarters.
"Have they been notified?" Wuyuan asked indifferently.
"Naturally. They were notified as you requested, but judging by their expressions, they seemed very displeased with me."
Wuyuan smiled: "It's right for them to be displeased. I can see at a glance that they are all arrogant individuals. By making them feel underestimated, they will be eager to prove themselves and prove us wrong. If they can achieve something good, we can completely publicize that our Cultivator Alliance's tactics played an important role, and the lost prestige can be regained."
"Brilliant, Lord Wuyuan! This move is truly brilliant! But what if they really don't come?"
"Haha, impossible, absolutely impossible! If they want to complete the mission they mentioned, they must come to the front lines with us to fight the Shitian Clan. In other regions, they have no chance to turn the tide of the battle."
