Chapter 342 Lu Niu's Plan

The function of the energy radar was very clear.

Artificial devils attempting to cause trouble near the Xuanwu Navy Headquarters and provoke them were directly and accurately located and eliminated.

A few that were not killed were due to poor coordination between bombers and naval fleets, and the photon energy cannons equipped by the bombers had also been depleted, ultimately allowing the artificial devils to escape.

Bai Qi sat in the command center, listening to the intelligence continuously coming in, and once again realized the benefits of the energy radar.

Therefore, he again urged that the production of energy radars must be expedited.

With the energy radar, various strongholds could be established, and combat members and corresponding firepower could be deployed for bombing and elimination.

Benedict also received Bai Qi's reply and nodded in satisfaction.

The production of photon energy cannons was not difficult.

With Justice Points, a photon energy cannon production base appeared, and it could be equipped and produced.

However, the speed of bombers was inferior to that of artificial devils, and it was not easy to defeat an artificial devil alone.

Therefore, this required coordination and ace pilots with superb skills and psychological fortitude.

And this was something the Xuanwu Navy currently did not lack.

Kuchi and the ace pilot instructors were providing training, so the Xuanwu Navy already possessed a large number of ace pilots ready for combat at any time.

Benedict also did not remain idle.

His operational range was still within the Grand Line.

He traveled to different locations, constantly hunting artificial devils.

Thanks to the energy radar, this also made it more convenient for Benedict to locate artificial devils, and thus the hunting speed had significantly increased.

Jormungandr.

Ryokugyu met with the Five Elders.

And he spoke about artificial devils and the first generation devils.

"Esteemed Five Elders, although our artificial devil legions have dispersed and scattered, they have dealt a considerable blow to the Xuanwu Navy."

"However, over this period, the Xuanwu Navy has somehow acquired methods to accurately locate them and conduct targeted encirclements. Our dispatched personnel have suffered heavy losses."

"Given the current situation, I suggest we recall the scattered warriors and form them into organized legions. It is time to reclaim our territories."

Ryokugyu stood directly opposite the Five Elders, speaking with a smile.

Ryokugyu had now summoned many first generation devils and controlled a vast number of artificial devils and cyborgs. Coupled with his own strength reaching SS-class, he had the confidence to speak before the Five Elders.

Previously, it was also at the suggestion of the Five Elders that they had dispersed and launched attacks on various Xuanwu Navy bases.

At the same time, they had also captured a large number of Devil Fruit users within the Xuanwu Navy.

However, the entire process was extremely brutal.

The Five Elders sat in their respective positions, all silent.

They had many matters to consider.

Although the losses of artificial devils were not insignificant, they did not care at all.

As long as there were humans in this world, artificial devils could be manufactured in large quantities.

Therefore, it did not hurt at all how many died.

Thus, they were more interested in continuing to inflict losses on the Xuanwu Navy in this manner.

After all, once Xuanwu Navy soldiers were lost, and then replenished, artificial devils would certainly not be as effective as the Xuanwu Navy.

But the individual combat power of artificial devils was very strong. For one artificial devil to replace tens, or even a hundred ordinary Xuanwu Navy soldiers, was entirely worth it.

With such an exchange rate, letting ten or even twenty to thirty devils per day cause the deaths of nearly a thousand Xuanwu Navy soldiers.

Ten thousand in a hundred days, and after a hundred days, it would be a hundred thousand.

In a hundred days, they would have only used three to five thousand artificial devils.

At this rate, the Five Elders were certain that the Xuanwu Navy could absolutely not bear it.

"Continue according to the plan."

"I want you to maximize the value of artificial devils and cyborgs."

"To kill a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of your own."

"I want them to inflict heavy damage on the Xuanwu Navy."

One of the Five Elders, the sword-wielding elder, spoke.

The other four, upon hearing the elder's words, did not object.

This was what they had planned from the beginning.

The Xuanwu Navy's strength was too formidable, and their large-scale attacks were also very troublesome.

Furthermore, the dozens of super-powered individuals within the Xuanwu Navy made even them feel a prickling sensation on their scalps.

If they appeared in large numbers, it would become their time to slaughter and showcase their achievements.

If that day truly came, it was unknown whether the Xuanwu Navy would suffer heavy losses, but the Five Elders knew that they themselves would definitely suffer heavy losses.

And what troubled the Five Elders was that, apart from Lord Im, they had no one who could confront those super-powered individuals other than unleashing the first generation devils.

Even if they could confront them, because the first generation devils also had strengths and abilities that varied, it would require two or three first generation devils working together to deal with one.

But if this situation arose, there was one person they had to be wary of, and that was the Xuanwu Navy Fleet Admiral, Benedict.

This elusive and powerful individual.

"The modifications for Kaido, Charlotte Linlin, and Zeff have been completed."

"Furthermore, Kaido and Charlotte Linlin possess combat power equivalent to Kenjiro of the Xuanwu Navy."

"And this is without invoking the Demon King's descent. Once they activate this ability, the Demon King will easily descend and absorb their power, becoming even stronger."

"I believe that if they join forces, they might have the power to contend with Benedict."

"If possible, set a trap based on the Xuanwu Navy's current actions against artificial devils and hunt down Kenjiro and others."

Ryokugyu, seeing that his proposal was not adopted by the Five Elders, felt regret and annoyance, but he still stated the other purpose of his visit.

The devils summoned and created were considered the forces under his control, and naturally, he did not wish for them to be depleted in this manner.

Unfortunately, he could not entirely defy the orders of the Five Elders.

Therefore, all he could do was to figure out how to utilize the people below him more effectively.

The Five Elders listened to Ryokugyu's words, their eyes gleaming.

"Are you sure?"

One of the Five Elders inquired.

Ryokugyu nodded and said solemnly, "It has been tested in actual combat. Kaido and Charlotte Lily respectively fought against ten first generation devils. Although the results were somewhat tragic, they still won."

Upon hearing this, the Five Elders became even more excited.

"Very good!"

"Continue with the previous plan, and this plan of yours can also proceed."

The sword-wielding elder exchanged glances with the others. After receiving their agreement, he expressed affirmation and support for Ryokugyu.

Ryokugyu, having received the approval of the Five Elders, breathed a slight sigh of relief.

At least, there was one more plan that could be executed.
