Chapter 797: Take The Initiative! An Army Of Sharp Knives (III)
Xiao Huo nodded and said, “That’s right. It is to attack. Just a simple passive defense, of course, we will suffer a great loss, the Devil’s clan can knead us as much as they want. However, if we put the battlefield in the territory of the Devils and fight in their provinces. Even break up into parts, at the same time from several directions to take the lead in launching a holy war against the Devil’s clan, how do you think the God of Devils will deal with it? Will he dare to ignore us? Absolutely not. What he fears most is that we shake their roots. At that time, they will not lead us by the nose, but we will restrain them in turn. Is it possible that only the Devils can destroy it? Don’t Devils always deploy heavy troops near our six fortresses? Then we will operate on these garrison troops of the Devils. Let’s see who is more ruthless than the other.”
On one side, Yang Haohan hesitated. “But can we defeat the Devils on the front battlefield? For a long time, we have been relying on the defense of the fortress to resist the attack of the Devil!”
Xiao Huo snorted and said, “It has been six thousand years, but your way of thinking is still so conserved. When the God of Devils leads the Anti-Heavenly Dragon clan to come, what is the use of the fortress’s defense? In the face of the real strong, the fortress can only become a cage that limits us to give full play of our strength. What’s more, I never said I wanted to have a head-on encounter with the Devil.”
“I see. Thank you, Xiao Lao.” Long Haochen’s eyes sparkled, and he fully understood what Xiao Huo meant.
Since war was inevitable, the first thing to do was to seize the initiative. Those who were more proactive will face fewer problems on the battlefield and would be more likely to get opportunities. By pure defense towards irresistible force, the final outcome could only be a tragedy.
The most serious problem that had been troubling him finally had a solution, which made Long Haochen feel overjoyed. He immediately set off to return to Yu Longguan, he wanted to talk about Lao Xiao’s idea in the parliament. If everyone thought that it was feasible, then it was necessary to take action immediately.
The preparation time for the holy war was never long, and even if one had to go all out, it should not take more than a month.
Caier did not follow Long Haochen to return to Yu Longguan. She transferred her voting rights as vice chairman directly to Long Haochen. It was not that she didn’t want to go, it was Shu Yongxiao who wouldn’t let her go!
After seeing Caier, Shu Yongxiao liked her very much. As undead creatures, the Eternal Heroes were afraid of the purification aura of Caier. However, according to Shu Yongxiao, Caier’s talent was no worse than that of Long Haochen.
Perhaps in terms of innate spiritual power, Caier was not as good as Long Haochen, but as a reincarnation saint, she was the best assassin. At the same time, Caier began to practice from an early age, and her foundation was more solid than that of Long Haochen. Therefore, Shu Yongxiao made her stay and couldn’t wait to pass on her skills to Caier. What made Long Haochen laughed so much was that Shu Yongxiao, an ancestor who had lived for more than 6,000 years, insisted on letting Caier call her Sister Shu. Long Haochen did not dare to calculate the gap between their generations.
Different from Long Haochen’s idea, Yang Haohan was in a good mood. Long Haochen, Caier and Eternal Heroes got along well, and the strength of these more-than-60 super strong men could also be said to have become a solid backing of the Temple Federation. They now had a better chance to win the holy war.
Back at Yu Longguan, without a moment’s rest, Long Haochen immediately summoned all the members of the parliament to hold a meeting and told them Xiao Huo’s proposal.
“Xiao’s suggestion is like opening a window for me to see the hope that we can completely defeat the Devils in this holy war. In fact, we have been using similar tactics against the Devils, that is, the hunter groups. It’s just that the size of the hunter group is too small, and the overall strength is negligible compared with the behemoth of the Devil’s clan. Since the God of Devils wants to lead a large army to come, it is meaningless for us to hold on to the fortress, so I fully agree with what Xiao said. We must launch a counter-offense before the arrival of the God of Devils and spread the flames of war to the territory of the Devils.”
Li Zhengzhi nodded and said, “This suggestion is too timely. I agree. Turning passivity into initiative not only allows us to seize the opportunity, but also forces the God of Devils to be led by us by the nose. At that time, even if we are defeated in the frontal battlefield, we can withdraw to the fortress to fight against the Devils. Then we can predict the main forces of the Devils’ attacks.”
Long Tianyin nodded and said, “I agree. The God of Devils must not have thought that we would dare to take the initiative to attack. I’ve been waiting for a counterattack for too long. Let’s have a big fight. The Devil’s clan does pose a great threat to us this time, but if we can defeat the main force of the Devil’s clan, it will also be a battle to break the dark age and turn things around.”
After his fight with Long Tianyin at the meeting last time, Long Haochen thoroughly established his authority as the president of the federation. After that meeting, Long Tianyin was silent for several meetings and gradually returned to normal. A discerning man like Li Zhengzhi immediately understood the play performed by the two grandfather and grandchildren, but there was nothing they could do about it. Anyway, Long Haochen’s authority had been established. And the Knight Temple that already had six Sealed Divine Knights, its status would never be shaken because of Long Tianyin being reprimanded once. As a result, the Knight Temple was still the biggest winner of the Union.
Although Li Zhengzhi had always been somewhat unconvinced, people cannot beat over the circumstance, not to mention the coming army of Devils. Everyone now shared a common hatred of the enemy. No one could spare a moment to argue for power and profit?
Not everyone supported the proposal to take the initiative to attack, and the Priest Temple raised an objection. Several congressmen from the Warrior Temple also objected the proposal.
The fairness and authority of the parliament were shown in the final vote. The powerful influence from the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group couldn’t be changed by a few congressmen’s words.
As a result of the vote, more than two thirds of congressmen supported the strategic resolution, and the historic battle between the Temple Federation and the Devil was finally about to begin.
Now the decision was made, Then it came to the details of strategy and tactics. After the discussion, it was finally decided to launch an active attack on the Devil’s clan by point attack and area attack.
The six temples quickly began to mobilize and integrate the strength of the six temple professionals. Each temple was divided into five routes heading towards the other five temples, thus formed a full professional combination of the six temples. After the occupation of each fortress was completed, it was commanded by the temple where it was located. There was no time left for ice-breaking activities. After the completion of professional integration, the six temples would immediately launch an attack on the Devil’s army stationed outside the garrison. Thus, announced the full launch of this holy war. They would take the initiative to burn the flames of the war within the Devil’s clan.
The God of Devils summoned 54 demon gods to gather at the demon capital for a meeting, which had both advantages and disadvantages. At least in the army at the garrison outside the six major fortresses, there would be no demon gods for the time being. The Devil’s clan obviously never thought about the problem that humans would counterattack.
In the full-scale holy war launched at the same time, there was also a little breakthrough, but also a real check on the main force of the Devil’s clan. The army responsible for the breakthrough was the first and second legions of the Union, which had been integrated. And Long Haochen would lead the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group to personally lead this team. At the same time, the Union also assigned all the returning hunter groups to this army under the commander of Long Haochen.
Their goal was to go deep into the Devil’s clan like a sharp knife and give the Devil’s clan a heavy blow.
Of course, the war launched by this army was by no means blind. First of all, they would avoid going in the direction of Modu as much as possible. At the same time, while the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group would all accompany the army, 18 of the 63 Eternal Heroes would also follow and fight. Among them were Xiao Huo and Shu Yongxiao, and the remaining 16 were the 16 super-strong men who had been promoted above level nine of rank five.
The strength of such an army had even exceeded the overall strength of the Anti-Heavenly Dragon clan. Moreover, if it was said to be inside the enemy, it would certainly not go too far. The army was flexible and had the ability to withdraw at any time. With their destructive power, they would certainly be able to contain the main force of the magic clan of the commander-in-chief of the God of Devils to a great extent. The God of Devils would dare not let Long Haochen lead an army like this to destroy within the Devil’s clan! What’s more, his real goal was Long Haochen.
In addition to the 18 Eternal Heroes who followed Long Haochen, the remaining 45 Eternal Heroes were divided into five groups and went to the Assassin Temple, the Magic Temple, the Warrior Temple, the Temple of Souls and the Priest Temple.
The Knight Temple had no Eternal Heroes to assist in the battle, because the sharp knives army commanded by Long Haochen would launch an offensive attack from Yu Longguan. At the same time, Yu Longguan would be chosen in the final retreat. They had enough strength.
As for the simultaneous attack of the other five temples, there was only one purpose, and that was to force the God of Devils to divide his army. It was so that he couldn’t take all the main forces with him, so as to reduce the pressure on Long Haochen’s side.
As long as the position of the main force of the God of Devil was finally determined, then there would be follow-up measures on the side of the Temple Federation.
The Devils had come with all their strength, and the Temple Federation did not have any reservations as well. Some hidden forces and treasures that could be used in the war were all ready to be invested in this war.
The plan was settled, and then there was a rapid integration. If one could overlook the entire temple federal frontier from high above, there would be signs of significant army movements throughout the frontier. Each temple was divided into five routes to other temples. As for the operational orders and the real purpose, they were kept in strict secrecy.
It was at a time when the six temples were still transferring professionals to each other. Long Haochen and an army of sharp knives, had taken advantage of the night out of the Yu Longguan, just like a tiger out of the sluice and pounced on the Devil’s defenders located a hundred miles away.
