Cheng Ling nodded silently, looking at the red blocks spreading everywhere like octopus tentacles in the star map. The human race's defense line was too spread out.
After pondering for a while, he asked: "Old man, our defense line in the Xuanwu Star Region is very scattered. Is it the same in other star regions? Why don't the major star regions cooperate and connect the defense front together? Isn't it more reasonable to resist the demon clan in this way? ?”
Mr. Zhuge sighed: "We also think about it, but those issues that belong to the Xingjun level and how they communicate are beyond our ability to figure out."
Cheng Ling sighed, this is a common problem, the communication between the upper levels is extremely cumbersome, and they simply cannot understand the suffering on the frontline battlefield. This road seems to be hopeless, so we should first solve the current dilemma.
He stared at the position in the star map with bright eyes and fell into thinking.
Mr. Zhuge did not rush and waited patiently.
After a long time, a flash of light suddenly flashed in Cheng Ling's mind and he said: "Old man, I don't think blind defense is the answer. You see, from the monster area to the front line of defense, there is almost no planet under our control."
"If we can mobilize the human monks to set up several strongholds in front of the defense line, or even in the demon area, and embed them deeply like nails into their hinterland, our defense line will be able to advance significantly, and the demon invasion will be impossible. It’s that simple.”
Mr. Zhuge's eyes lit up, he pondered for a while and then said: "This method is very risky. First of all, it is a logistical issue. It is so far away from the base camp, how to transport resources; secondly, if we go deep into the demon clan's hinterland, are the human monks willing to go? These are all questions!”
Cheng Ling said: "It is actually very simple to solve these problems. We only need to understand the fundamental reason why the demon tribe invades the human race. Old man, what do you think their purpose is?"
Mr. Zhuge said: "Of course it is to seize the territory of the human race. According to the demon clan's concept, all the planets in the four star regions should belong to them, and the human race only deserves to be called a vassal!"
Cheng Ling sneered and said calmly: "Old man, don't think so high and mighty! In my opinion, the root of it is resources!"
"resource?"
"Yes, cultivation is inherently a struggle for resources and interests. Humans need resources to practice, and so do the monsters. As long as there is profit in these planets, both humans and monsters will flock to them. By the same token, if not If you can get benefits through war, then why bother fighting between the human and demon clans!"
Mr. Zhuge was startled. Cheng Ling's words made sense and revealed the nature of the conflict between the two clans. But for thousands of years, the two races have been at war and have deep grievances. Is there any way to make the two sides coexist peacefully?
His heart moved, and he smiled and said: "Boy, your mind works very quickly. Tell me, what can you do?"
"It's very simple. The demon clan and the human race each have their own needs. As long as we can occupy those planets and establish a corresponding mutual market system, the conflict between the two clans can be greatly alleviated. The human race needs herbs and materials from the demon clan area, and the demon clan needs them. The tribe also hopes to obtain the resources of the human race’s alchemy weapon array.”
"The two sides can each take what they need, and they can achieve a balance between each other without having to fight each other. Old man, you see, this planet is not very far from the defense line and the monster area, and the area is also very large. If I were We will find a way to capture it and use it as a stronghold for mutual trade between the two tribes. This is the first step!"
"The second step is to send representatives to reach an agreement with the demon clan. As a mutual trading planet, we must maintain peace and stability, and fighting is prohibited regardless of race. The human and demon clans each send a certain number of monks to jointly maintain the development of trade."
"At the same time, we can mobilize all the major sects and monks to go here. Here, their profits will be several times that of other planets. Under the huge profits, all sects and shops will go there one after another without much effort on our part. "
"In this way, within a few decades, this place will become the core of trade between the human and demon tribes, and it will not be so easy for the demon tribe to invade again."
"The third step is that after the trade routes on this planet are opened, the surrounding life stars will gradually prosper. In this way, it is equivalent to pushing the human race's defense line forward for a long distance, with multiple moats, and the danger of the monster clan will naturally be lifted."
Mr. Zhuge's vision was bright and he couldn't help but clapped his hands and said: "Wonderful! The defense line is pushed outward step by step. The idea of the trade planet is set within the Monster Clan area. Although it seems to save transportation costs for the Monster Clan, But it actually pushed our defense line forward significantly!"
"With this step-by-step encroachment, we will soon be able to squeeze the demon clan forces back into the central area. Boy, how long is your brain? You can also think of such conspiracies!"
I wonder if this old man can speak? Is this a conspiracy? What is a conspiracy?
This kind of strategy is just a small test for him. No young man living under the red flag in the 21st century has not been influenced by it. Five thousand years of splendid culture, facing the northern minority, I don't know how many times I have heard about marriage, mutual trade, alliances, etc.
If he wasn't afraid of scaring the old man and didn't know if the boss of the demon clan was a lecher, he would have chosen a charming female nun to seduce others. It would be best to send that old witch from Yunlan Sect over, she will definitely cause chaos, hehe...!
He continued: "But the first condition for such a strategy is to win the war at hand. From what I can see, there are 20,000 troops on each of the other planets to resist, so it shouldn't be a big problem. The most important direction of attack for the demon clan is Still on Tianfu Star.”
Mr. Zhuge nodded and said: "Yes, I think so too. But the demon clan has 200,000 soldiers, and we only have 100,000. The human clan is so different, how can we win?"
Cheng Ling said: "It's very simple. Divide and transform. Old man, you just said that there are still 100,000 sergeants left to garrison in the base camp. I think it is unnecessary. As long as 30,000 sergeants are left, it will be enough. Send out the rest and separate them. Fifty thousand troops were stationed in Tianfu Star to hold the demon clan back to death."
"The remaining 20,000 troops will attack Tianyuan Star and Tianchu Star respectively. Master, please see, these two planets are very far away from Tianfu Star. If we can defeat the demon clan stationed there, we can become a powerful force. No matter what It’s Tianfu Star, Tianyuan Star, and Tianchu Star. Any planet can provide timely reinforcements in case of emergency.”
"On the other hand, it can also block the support of the demon clan around Tianfu Star, completely isolating these two hundred thousand demon clan, and can no longer contact other demon clan except the rear. From now on, we will find a way to mobilize the monks on Tianfu Star Attack the planet behind them, encircling them from three sides."
"By then, let alone blocking this wave of monster attacks, it will be easy to annihilate all 200,000 monsters on Tianfu Star."
Mr. Zhuge praised him and said, "Okay, that's right! I'll do as you say. Boy, how about you lead one of the two groups of troops?"
Cheng Ling was startled, and secretly regretted that he didn't keep his mouth shut, and the prospect was too dreamy, and he actually let the old man trap him. He hurriedly waved his hands and said, "I'm joking, there are more than 30,000 demon tribes, and their leader is at least the demon immortal level. With my current strength, how can I resist them."
Mr. Zhuge pondered for a while and then said: "What you said makes sense, let's do this! Jin Muhuan and Zhou Qingxi are still in retreat. This is the time to contribute, so let them lead a team each, but what about you? The Hidden Thunder Army can no longer stay in the same place this time and must go out to fight together."
"Tell me, if you want to join that team, I can give you the right to choose!"
Cheng Ling was depressed. There were 30,000 demon clans on Tianyuan Star and Tianchu Star respectively. He didn't know how many human soldiers there were. With just over 10,000 people trying to defeat all the demon clans, this task was not an ordinary difficulty. But the idea was his own, and he couldn't regret it temporarily. He could only secretly curse himself for not being mature enough.
After being encouraged by the old man to say a few words, he started to talk nonsense and said it all at once.
Thinking in his mind, Jin Muxu and Zhou Qingxi, among the two, Jin Muxu, as the elder of the sect, seems to be constrained by some things. He is not as good as Zhou Qingxi. If he can listen to his opinions, this trip can still be done.
He immediately said: "Since the old man likes me, I will choose to join Senior Zhou's team!"
Mr. Zhuge smiled and nodded, and said: "Okay, for the transfer of more than ten thousand people, the position of commander is slightly insufficient. As you asked, I will let them out immediately and support the front line in three days."
Once the order is issued, there is no room for maneuver.
Cheng Ling secretly sighed that the relaxing days were gone like this, and he would be beaten to death again. However, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, whether his tactical concept could be realized. Furthermore, the Hidden Thunder Army had been practicing for a year, and it was time to test it on the battlefield.
He bowed his hands briefly, said goodbye to the old man, and then left the main hall and headed towards the camp.
After returning to the camp, he immediately summoned Fang Ya, Zhang Haohui, Yu Zixian, Yan Wushuang, and Zhao Hong, and said: "In two days, we will go to the front line to support. Wushuang, how is the current resource reserve of the Hidden Thunder Army? "
Yan Wushuang replied: "Reporting to the general secretary, the Hidden Thunder Army's elixir reserves are currently adequate. Each person can be allocated at least a hundred ninth-grade talismans and a hundred elixirs."
Cheng Ling nodded slightly and said, "It's still a little missing. This battle may not be over in a short time. Have more refining materials been collected in the near future?"
Fang took out a storage ring and said, "I knew you were going to ask about this, so I had already prepared it."
Cheng Ling took it with satisfaction and continued: "That's good. We will set off immediately after Senior Jin and Senior Zhou come out of seclusion. During this time, everyone will be prepared. As for the elixirs and talismans, I will refine them as soon as possible."
The five people agreed in unison, with excited expressions on their faces. To be honest, they had been bored in the base camp for more than a year, and the battle situation on the front line kept coming. They heard a little bit, but they didn't get the order to go out, so they could only hold their breath and train hard.
Now that he finally has the opportunity to fight, it is conceivable that there is a lot of wealth waiting for him. After bidding farewell to Cheng Ling, he rushed out of the camp and conveyed the order.
Cheng Ling smiled bitterly and shook his head, recalling Fang Ya's words in his mind. I hope half of these thousand people can return safely!
