"Useless trash!"

Liu Yao cursed angrily.

He would never normally show his emotions so openly.

Logically, he should have been happy to suddenly receive news of Su Bai's troop deployment, as the other party had voluntarily exposed his back to him.

However, this person happened to be Su Bai, who had tricked him several times.

This led him to instinctively believe it was an opportunity, while his rational mind was frantically reminding him that there was probably a trap involved.

My mind is conflicted.

An unnamed anger naturally arose within him.

"I propose we send troops directly!"

"Even if there's a trap, we can still evacuate before his troops arrive, and plunder the resources of his towns along the way, just like last time!"

Someone said.

"good!"

"He cannot compete with us for air superiority. We can detect any movement immediately. Even if it is a trap, it cannot harm us."

"Moreover, we have already developed that thing... If he still dares to rely on his personal bravery to ambush us, we guarantee he won't return alive!"

One person slammed his hand on the table and exclaimed excitedly.

No one present had fought as many times as Liu Yao and Su Bai.

But as long as there is a previous experience.

That's enough.

Their force of several thousand men was harassed all the way by Su Bai riding a wolf, and they were almost slaughtered in the end. Such terrifying combat power is hard not to leave a deep impression.

For the Nine Star Palace, this is an indelible disgrace.

They put in a lot of effort and made many preparations to address this, hoping for a chance to redeem themselves.

"But he knows these things better than we do. Based on our experience of fighting him several times, he could never have overlooked this."

"I'm more inclined to believe this is a trap."

"That's right!"

"I think so too!"

The vast majority of people present were surprisingly in agreement at that moment.

no way.

They've suffered enough losses at Su Bai's hands.

The current situation is practically like sending them a declaration of war, written in the words "trap."

"The integration of forces in the south has been successful, and there are plenty of resources and land waiting for us to exploit. I also feel that it's not worth taking the risk."

A key member of the management team told Liuyao.

These words struck a chord with him.

It is true that Suzhou and Baizhou are developing.

But behind them are the top gaming guild Heavenly Court and the top professional club Golden Palace! With such a background, their development speed is by no means slow!

Besides, all others know is that the Dragon Slaying Society and the Nine Luminaries Palace are in cahoots.

They thought they only occupied the west and south.

In fact.

The few remaining undead lords in the east have already secretly reached a cooperation agreement with them!

The three parties joined forces with a common goal: to defeat Su Bai.

All they need is time.

At this critical juncture.

No matter how good the opportunity is, it's not worth the risk they take the initiative to seize it.

But Liu Yao hesitated to make a decision because he was struggling with one thing.

He pondered slowly before revealing his thoughts.

"You all say..."

"Could what we're discussing now be something he anticipated?"

Everyone immediately fell silent.

Some people scoffed, wanting to refute, but no matter what they said, they couldn't bring themselves to utter the words.

Su Bai was able to build his business from scratch and gradually develop it to where he is today.

Anyone who dares to call him an idiot should basically donate their brain.

Anyway, we won't need it.

"President, you mean..."

"The Empty City Stratagem?"

Liu Yao looked at the war sand table in front of him and nodded without raising his eyes.

"His several encounters with us all ended in great victories, so it would be a lie to say he wasn't pleased."

"Success inevitably leads to complacency."

"Moreover, he is a young man."

"Young, proud, and impetuous."

"They are also more willing to make choices that we wouldn't dare to make at our age."

"Maybe he's in his territory right now, laughing at us for being a bunch of cowards who didn't dare to make a move even when the opportunity was presented to them..."

As he said this, it was as if a flame was burning in his eyes.

"Of course, the most important thing is what you said."

"We have absolute air superiority."

"Even if it's a trap, there won't be any loss if we retreat in time; at most, it'll just be a wasted effort."

"Therefore, gentlemen."

"I want to try it."

Everyone looked at each other for a long time without saying a word.

Sudden.

A message came in.

"Guild Master, the lord named 'Guiyuan' under Baidi asked me to pass on a message to you. He said that Baidi is ready to negotiate peace with the Blackwater Tribe, and everything he is doing now is just an act, waiting for us to take the bait!"

"What?!"

"Who is Guiyuan? Is the source of this information reliable?"

"Damn! I knew it! Bai Di is a total scumbag, he plays dirty!"

"..."

The group began to exchange ideas, each contributing their own thoughts.

Liu Yao narrowed his eyes, raised his hand to signal, and once everyone quieted down, his first words were:

"Give me a reason why I can believe this intelligence."

The man immediately said:

"President, I contacted this guy named Guiyuan back in the Qinglong Society to try and recruit him as our informant. Although he refused at the time, his attitude was very wavering, and he's always been on my shortlist."

"Although he is now the lord of Baidi Town, it is said that Baidi has always disliked them and is always looking for an excuse to get rid of them."
