After a burst of laughter, everyone returned to normal.
He Dazhuang said with uncharacteristic seriousness, "Brothers, it wasn't easy for Old Lin to become the marshal. We are all brothers, so we should be the ones to lead the charge."
Zhang Cong, standing nearby, retorted grumpily, "What, are only you and Old Lin brothers, and we're all fake?"
"Alright, you've all advanced to Human King, and you still don't have any proper conduct."
Jiang Zheng turned to Lin Zhan and said, "Old Lin, you don't need to worry too much. For the tough job of attacking the Giant Demon Forest, we brothers from the human race will take the lead. Let your elders rest, and just watch how we brothers take down the Giant Demon Forest."
The reason Lin Zhan gathered everyone was to discuss the selection of the first batch of troops to enter the Giant Demon Forest.
Everyone knew it was a task with a nine-out-of-ten chance of death, and they, as leading officers, would definitely be prime targets for the Ten Thousand Races Alliance.
But if the human race didn't have a respectable leader, how could they expect the Dragon and Holy Beast races to fight with all their might?
These people from the Huaxia team were the youngest generation of Huaxia in terms of status, and they were also the young masters of various noble families. With their Human King cultivation and the backing of their families, they could gain the trust of the soldiers from the six major group armies who were themselves from aristocratic families.
What's more, these individuals were not only the darlings of their respective families but also the successors in the eyes of the ancient ancestors of Huaxia.
And the personal relationships these people had with Lin Zhan were beyond question. Therefore, sending these rascals to the battlefield would not only gain the submission of the soldiers but also make the other three races believe in Marshal Lin Zhan's impartiality.
Seeing that Lin Zhan still had something to say, He Dazhuang chuckled and waved his hand, "Old Lin, don't say anything more. We brothers understand."
"Moreover, speaking on a smaller scale, this is something we brothers owe to the human race. Which one of us brothers isn't a scoundrel? From birth to now, we've all been born with silver spoons in our mouths."
"We eat the best, wear the best, and have inexhaustible cultivation resources. Even the women we sleep with are the top-tier girls of the human race. Now it's time for us brothers to repay our debts."
"Speaking on a larger scale, among us, which family doesn't have relatives, elders, or blood brothers who died at the hands of the Ten Thousand Races? So, regardless of scale or national hatred, this Giant Demon Forest is just the beginning."
Everyone looked at He Dazhuang in surprise, finding it hard to believe that such profound words could come from this brute.
According to this fellow's usual style, he would have probably said something like: "Indulge their bad habits, and chop them all down with knives, then it will be peaceful."
"Ahem, brothers, stop staring. Old He can improve too."
Jiang Zheng coughed, drawing everyone's attention.
He then said to Lin Zhan, "Marshal, don't just stand there. Gather all the legion commanders. It's time for us to assign tasks."
Lin Zhan nodded and turned to Zhang Dabiao, "Gather all the main generals above the rank of legion commander, including those from the three races."
"Yes, Marshal."
Half an hour later, the high-ranking officials of the Human Alliance arrived.
The entire conference room was packed, with even legion commanders who led millions of soldiers having to stand along the walls in a row.
Lin Zhan, seeing that most people had arrived, nodded to the little princess of the Immortal race and said:
"Sister Xian'er, you've seen the current situation. We are about to attack the Giant Demon Forest. Does your Immortal race have any good ideas?"
The reason Lin Zhan spoke to the little princess of the Immortal race in advance was not because Marshal Lin was lusting after her.
Instead, among all the Ten Thousand Races in the myriad heavens, the Immortal race was one of the most mysterious.
What methods the Immortal race possessed was only known to the ancient ancestors of each race. For juniors like Lin Zhan, they were completely clueless.
The little princess of the Immortal race pondered for a moment and then said, "The Immortal race is not adept at close-quarters combat, so we cannot help you in close-quarters fighting in the jungle. I apologize."
Long Da Jin from the Dragon race, standing nearby, quickly said:
"Sister Xian'er, our ancestors have already informed us about the ways of your Immortal race. You don't need to worry too much. Leave the rough work of close-quarters combat to us."
"Marshal Lin Zhan's intention is for you to see if you have any formations or immortal arts that can assist our warriors."
The little princess of the Immortal race quickly nodded and said, "This is exactly what I wanted to say, but you interrupted me."
Da Hei, waving his turtle claws, gave Da Jin a hefty shove, "Are you trying to show off everywhere? Can't you just let Sister Xian'er finish speaking?"
Da Jin's eyes widened, and just as he was about to speak, he saw a group of displeased glances around him. He could only back down and remain silent.
The little princess of the Immortal race glanced at Da Jin with a helpless shake of her head, then took out two jade talismans and a magic disk inlaid with crystals and said:
"Although the Immortal race is not skilled in melee combat, they have their own ways of striking."
"These two crystals, one carried close to the body, can help warriors recover their strength. When seriously injured, crushing it can instantly heal the wounds and restore some physical strength. The healing effect is determined by the severity of the injury. Even the most severe injuries can give warriors a chance to avenge themselves."
"This crystal is embedded in the inner armor. As long as the inner armor senses a powerful strike, it will instantly form a protective formation that can withstand attacks from high-level quasi-kings of the Zhen Clan. It can be used until the crystal shatters."
"As for this magic disk, its function is for positioning. If our warriors encounter enemy facilities with strong defenses, they can use the guidance of the magic disk to determine the location. Our Immortal race will set up large-scale offensive immortal formations a hundred miles away from the Giant Demon Forest, and conduct energy strikes on marked points within a range of 300 miles."
Everyone was stunned, and then immediately excited.
The young Taoist priest said, bewildered:
"Holy cow, isn't this just bulletproof vests plus adrenaline plus aerial support? If I had known the Immortal race had this stuff, we would have attacked the Giant Demon Forest long ago. We wouldn't have let that stupid fox strut around with two idiots like this."
He then quickly said to the little princess of the Immortal race, "Sister Xian, how many of these treasures do you have? If there aren't enough, it won't be enough for us."
The little princess of the Immortal race calculated secretly and said, "There are about 12 million of each type of crystal, and fewer magic disks, only 1500."
"However, as long as the materials are sufficient, we can produce another batch within three days. It's just that these things are a bit expensive and consume a lot of resources."
The young Taoist priest waved his hand and said, "Manufacture them. We must manufacture them. The entire army will have one set each... no, two sets each, otherwise those bastards from the Ten Thousand Races will think we can't afford them."
