The entire conference room was filled with discussions for nearly two hours.
No matter what method they considered, any attack using troops would inevitably result in casualties when assaulting the Necromancer Plane.
Young Master Lin narrowed his eyes, staring at the electronic sand table, and declared fiercely, "Since the Necromancer race has presented this tough nut to crack for me, I'll just blow it up."
Seeing the bewildered looks on everyone's faces, Lin Zhan asked Wu Ding, "Ancestor, do we still have any of those Nine-Headed Dragon Lizards we captured from the Lizardmen Plane last time?"
Wu Ding nodded and replied, "There are still quite a few. We only slaughtered four during the sacrifices. We currently have seven Emperor-level Nine-Headed Dragon Lizards, three Foundation-level Nine-Headed Dragon Lizards, and over thirty of King-level and young ones. What's wrong... Damn, you're thinking of..."
Lin Zhan nodded firmly, "That's right, I'm damn well thinking of that. These sons of bitches from the Necromancer race think they can give me a tough bone to chew? Well, I'll give them a terrorist attack."
Then, Lin Zhan turned to the young Taoist and said, "Brother-in-law, go back to Huaxia and ask your Celestial Master Mansion's ancestors and Ancestor Ying Zheng to discuss whether they can detonate Bomb Number Five across planes."
The young Taoist was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up with excitement. "Holy crap, Big Brother, that's a great idea! We'll just blow the hell out of them! I'm going right now."
With that, he, along with four old Heavenly Masters from the Celestial Master Mansion and twelve King-level powerhouses, tore through the void and departed.
Lin Zhan watched the large group of people accompanying the young Taoist and couldn't help but chuckle wryly, "I really didn't expect my brother-in-law to be so cautious, bringing so many people everywhere he goes."
Old Tie Si, accompanied by a group of giant pandas, rolled his eyes at Lin Zhan, "You're one to talk! Look at yourself, how many people are you bringing along?"
Lin Zhan glanced around. Not counting the two Emperor-level Ancestors, Chang Ruo and Cao Yu, there were five Iron-Eating Beast Emperors from the Tie family at the Foundation level. As for Human King level, there were the twelve commanders of the Great Shang Ancestral Court Guard, plus Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Zhao Zilong, three peak Kings leading fifty-four Guards of Quasi-Kings.
Young Master Lin clicked his tongue, "Looking at it now, it seems I'm the one who's more afraid of dying."
Indeed, half an hour later, the young Taoist's communicator rang. Lin Zhan connected it to the large screen and pressed the answer button. The young Taoist's chubby little face, with a mischievous expression, appeared on the screen.
"Big Brother, after Ancestor Ying Zheng and the others discussed it, they rejected your proposal. They said that due to the barrier of the planar space, it's impossible to detonate elements. We need to find another way."
"However, I went back to the Great Shang Ancestral Court. Ancestor Shang Jiawei took me to meet the leader of the Nine-Headed Dragon Lizard race, and we've reached an agreement with them."
"My condition was that they send one Foundation-level expert, carrying ten Bomb Number Fives, to detonate the Necromancer Plane. If successful, the Nine-Headed Dragon Lizard race will no longer be sacrificial beasts of Great Shang, but can pledge allegiance to Great Shang and become war beasts."
"The leader of the Nine-Headed Dragon Lizard race has agreed, and he will go personally, guaranteeing that the detonation will be successful."
Lin Zhan nodded and said, "I knew you'd have a way, you kid. Does this Nine-Headed Dragon Lizard have any bloodline remaining in Great Shang? He can't betray us, right?"
The young Taoist shook his head, "No, the planes where the Nine-Headed Dragon Lizards lived have all been destroyed by Ancestor Shang Jiawei. Moreover, his two wives and six children are in our hands. If he dares to betray us, the Nine-Headed Dragon Lizard race will be wiped out."
Lin Zhan nodded with satisfaction, "Good, that's more like it. By the way, brother-in-law, make another trip to the Shennong clan and get some potent poison and healing medicine. We'll give the poison to the Nine-Headed Dragon Lizard leader as a backup, and the healing medicine for him to take. If he survives the detonation of Bomb Number Five, we'll at least give him something in return."
The young Taoist quickly nodded, "That's a good idea, Big Brother. Your idea is the safest! I'm going now. Goodbye."
With that, he hung up the communicator.
The others looked at the black screen and then at the smiling Young Master Lin. They couldn't help but shake their heads, thinking, "These two brats are really doing nothing useful."
After receiving the affirmative reply from the young Taoist, Lin Zhan contentedly addressed everyone, "Once the self-detonation is successful, have Ancestor Shang Tang lead Ancestors Xuan Shang and the other four to rush into the Necromancer Plane immediately. If there are no unexpected events, we will receive news from Ancestor Shang Tang."
"The first wave of troops to enter the Necromancer Plane will be led by Ancestor Temujin's Wolf Cavalry. We can use the Wolf Cavalry's high mobility to expand the results of the battle."
Temujin quickly stood up and said, "Marshal, the eagles of the grasslands do not fear storms. The wolves of the Golden Family only ask where the enemy is."
"Marshal, you can rest assured about this operation. The eagles of the grasslands will prove their loyalty by the number of prey."
Lin Zhan rubbed his forehead, looking helpless, "Old Ancestor Tie, we know you're cultured, but let's not use such flowery language. I hope the eagles of the grasslands won't get tired of fighting this time."
Then, Lin Zhan turned to Di Xin and said, "Ancestor, the second wave will be led by you with the Great Shang's Xuan Bird Army. Aim for the greatest results, establish defensive lines on the spot, and the rest is familiar territory for us."
"The third wave will be led by Ancestor Wang Jian with the Second Army. Prepare for large-scale operations. As for the armies of the four King-level ancestors, keep them here for the time being, ready to be deployed at any moment."
"All generals must fulfill their duties. Our objective in this operation is not just the Necromancer race. The war between us and the Undead race will inevitably break out early. My principle is to eliminate half of the Undead race before the war of ten thousand races begins, to reduce the impact of the Undead race's overwhelming numbers on our army during the war of ten thousand races."
"All generals, return to your respective corps and make preparations over the next two days. We will launch our attack precisely at dawn the day after tomorrow."
"Yes!"
The Kings and Generals present rose and saluted Lin Zhan solemnly. The people in the conference room also began to leave one by one.
Lin Zhan stopped Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, and said, "Ancestor, this battle is of utmost importance for our next steps. I implore the Liu family to go all out to win luck for the human race. After this battle, it will be of great use."
From ancient times, it was said that one should listen to what is implied, not just what is said. Lin Zhan's words made it clear. As an experienced veteran, Emperor Gaozu of Han understood the meaning.
"You're a thoughtful young man. Liu Che and Liu Xiu possess both literary and military talents worthy of great use. The Liu family will spare no resource to support them. From now on, if you, Young Master Lin, speak, the entire Liu family will follow you through fire and water."
