The crowd paid no attention to Lin Zhan, their madcap leader, and instead began to feast on the delicacies on the table.
An hour later, everyone was full and satisfied. They looked at Lin Zhan and said:
“Leader, who are we going to attack this time? Why have you gathered all the brothers?”
Lin Zhan waved his hand to a nearby attendant.
Before long, the attendant cleared away the remnants of the meal and replaced them with tea, snacks, and fruit platters.
Only then did Lin Zhan address everyone:
“My old brothers know me best. Indeed, this time I intend to strike at the American Special Zone, and while we’re at it, we’ll take care of the Undead race behind them. The worst outcome would be to wipe out the Necromancer clan.”
As soon as Lin Zhan finished speaking, everyone fell into deep thought.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Jiang Zheng raised his head and looked at the crowd, saying:
“Same old rules, let me say a few words first.”
“No, let’s change the rules this time. Let me say a few words first.”
Leng Shan interrupted Jiang Zheng and said to everyone:
“Let me state upfront, I’m stealing Old Jiang’s speaking turn, not because I intend to take on Old Jiang’s role as the strategist. After all, my brain isn’t cut out for military advisor duties. Of course, it’s also possible that the amount of mischief in my head isn’t as much as Old Jiang and Old Lin’s.”
“Ever since we attacked the Bone Demon race and deployed the Leng family’s dog pack, I’ve done thorough research on all the myriad races. Besides a few races among the beast tribes and canines being natural enemies, our dog pack only has a natural restraint over these bone sticks.”
“The most troublesome aspect of the Undead race is their seemingly endless supply of low-level undead soldiers, the most numerous of which are skeleton soldiers. Although these low-level skeleton soldiers are not strong, they are a great test of our soldiers’ stamina and the wear and tear on their weapons and armor.”
“Currently, the Leng family’s deployable dog pack consists of 20 million battle dogs of Silver High-rank or above, 1 million Golden Low-rank, and 2 million Golden High-rank mastiffs. This force alone is sufficient to deal with more than ten times their number of skeleton soldiers.”
After Leng Shan finished speaking, he winked at Jiang Zheng.
Jiang Zheng nodded, took over the conversation, and continued:
“If we want to attack the Necromancer clan, the dog pack of the old Leng family has already solved half our problems. The rest will be left to our esteemed ancestors. As long as the ancestors eliminate the high-ranking officials of the Necromancer clan, even fools could lead the troops to win this war.”
Wang Er Zhuang nodded in agreement, saying:
“That’s right. The ancestors solve half the problem, and the dogs solve the other half. This means that in this campaign, the ancestors’ role is the same as the dogs’.”
“Since the ancestors and the dogs have solved all the problems, there’s nothing left for us to do. Come on, everyone, give a round of applause for the ancestors and the dogs.”
With that, he led the applause.
Meng Gang and Zhang Cong, sitting on either side of Wang Er Zhuang, exchanged a glance and quickly moved their chairs away.
They distanced themselves from this idiotic fellow.
What if some ancestor with keen hearing and a petty mind overheard this? Wouldn’t they be directly assigned to the suicide squad?
Don’t forget, our leader here is the most loyal lackey of all the ancestors.
Even the stern Jiang Da Shijun gave classmate Wang Er Zhuang a thumbs-up:
“Er Zhuang, you’re the best. But brother, let me add one thing, if you’re going to court death, don’t drag us along.”
Lin Zhan gave Wang Er Zhuang a sympathetic look, then turned to everyone and said:
“Well, classmate Er Zhuang didn’t mean it like that. Although Er Zhuang’s words are a bit crude, he still respects the ancestors very much… well… forget it, I can’t spin this anymore. Do as you please.”
Then Lin Zhan turned to the young Taoist and asked: “Brother-in-law, have you arranged the leader of the suicide squad yet?”
The young Taoist blinked and said: “Big Brother, didn’t you say last time to have my eldest brother and Brother Ying Xuan be the commander and deputy commander of the suicide squad?”
As soon as the young Taoist finished speaking, Ying Xuan and Zhang Haoran were startled.
They exchanged a look and whispered: “See, I told you Lin Lao Hei isn’t a good guy. He’s full of schemes and will definitely plot against us. See, I was right?”
Zhang Haoran nodded: “Lin Lao Hei is indeed too much of a scoundrel. He’ll get his comeuppance sooner or later. You just watch, this is what I, the Iron Mouth Diviner, the Great Fortune Teller, predict.”
Lin Zhan glared at these two talking in hushed tones, the ‘Five Hundred Combination,’ thinking, are you guys treating me like I don’t exist? Do you think I’m ‘Hello Kitty’ because I don’t show my fangs?
He then said to the young Taoist: “Don’t assign anyone to be the commander and deputy commander of the suicide squad for now. They can elect their own leaders later.”
“Ahem, well then, everyone, let’s continue discussing the operational plan against the Necromancer clan.”
After arranging the suicide squad, Lin Zhan turned to everyone again and said.
Jiang Zheng shook his head, gave Wang Er Zhuang, Ying Xuan, and Zhang Haoran a helpless look, and then said to everyone:
“The difficulty in fighting the Necromancer clan lies not with the necromancers themselves, but with the Undead race and the Myriad Races coalition led by Commander Rommel.”
“The plane where the Necromancer clan resides is also a mid-level plane. Its strength is comparable to the Lizardmen. However, a strong backer makes life easier. As one of the clans within the Undead race, it’s impossible for us to fight them like we did the Lizardmen, in a sealed void.”
Lin Zhan nodded in agreement, saying:
“As soon as the Undead race hears the news that we are attacking the Necromancer clan, all the Undead clans will undoubtedly send emperors to lead their forces and enter the Necromancer plane in advance. As for whether there are awakened Emperor-level beings among the Undead, the answer is definitely yes.”
“Moreover, if we commit our full strength to a prolonged war with the entire Undead race, the Myriad Races coalition led by Rommel will surely launch an offensive on our main battlefield. We cannot afford to let the main battlefield line fall just to defeat a single Necromancer clan. If that happens, humanity will have no defense against the attacks of the myriad races.”
Everyone present nodded, in full agreement with Lin Zhan’s words. Sudán Novels.
As a descendant of a famous general, Meng Gang had an innate grasp of the battlefield. He stood up and said to Lin Zhan:
“If that’s the case, then there’s only one solution: encircle and attack reinforcements, and divide and conquer. We must be prepared for simultaneous battles with both the Undead race and the Myriad Races coalition.”
“Then, through deception, making the false appear true and the true appear false, we can confuse them about our real strength. And for us, the virtual can be the real, and the real can also be transformed into the virtual.”
“As long as either the Myriad Races coalition or the Undead race shows a flaw, we can bite off a large piece of flesh from them and achieve our first strategic objective.”
