"How is the battle going?"
Lin Xiuyuan descended his escape light and asked.
Despite the question, I already had a good idea.
Along the way, they observed the fiercely contested battlefield.
The attacking Yunxiao Sect seemed to have a significant advantage, launching a fierce offensive against the enemy's formation.
Under such a fierce offensive, even with the cover of a large formation, the enemy could hardly reverse the situation. Every attempt they made to counterattack was like an ant trying to shake a tree, and they were instantly suppressed by the Yunxiao Sect's offensive. They could only huddle inside the large formation and rely on it to resist.
Despite this situation, the array patterns of the great array shimmered and were densely packed, forming array rings without any obvious gaps, at most only partially unstable.
It's estimated that it will still take some time before we can break through the great formation.
really.
Then Zhong Kangshun replied, "Steward Lin, our situation is indeed very favorable right now. But it's unrealistic to expect to defeat the enemy in a short period of time."
"According to Junior Sister Zhong and the others' observations, although we have been attacking for several days and they have also made every effort to break the barrier, the other side also has a lot of array masters. After several days, the array has only been worn down by 20% to 30%, and the damage is not significant! It is estimated that if we continue to maintain our fierce attack, it will take at least seven more days before we can break the array."
"However, many of our cultivators have been engaged in high-intensity attacks for days, and their energy and mental strength have been greatly depleted. I'm afraid they may not be able to hold out for so long."
"While the spiritual creatures have been replenished, such a fierce offensive will likely deplete most of them in this battle, which will be detrimental to the subsequent fighting."
Lin Xiuyuan pondered for a moment. After visiting the Flame Crystal Secret Realm, he learned from Dan Xuzi and the other person that the situation might escalate beyond his control. In that case, it was unlikely that the overall strategy would change.
We must quickly defeat the enemy in order to achieve our strategic objectives.
Otherwise, this campaign on the Eastern Front will have been a waste of effort, and the agreements reached will have only benefited others without any real gain!
"In your opinion, under the general principle of ensuring a rapid breakthrough, should we continue to seize the Liushi Mine, or is there some other plan that can be implemented?"
Lin Xiuyuan was new to the area, and although he had some initial thoughts after thinking it over, Zhong Kangshun was the commander-in-chief and had been directing operations from the front lines, so it was best to listen to his opinion.
Zhong Kangshun nodded slightly, then frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, and asked, "Manager Lin, if I may be so bold, I would like to ask you something first. Given the current situation, there is already a trend of quickly breaking the deadlock, so why go further and accelerate the process of achieving the strategic objective?"
Because the information conveyed by the fragrant herb was limited, Zhong Kangshun was not very familiar with it.
Lin Xiuyuan then explained:
"Because the situation could escalate, once the opposing demonic sect's main sect intervenes, we might not be able to continue the battle smoothly..."
"I understand. It seems we need to secure every possible advantage before things escalate. If we're too slow, they might intervene and force us into a 'tacit agreement,' leaving us with no choice but to retreat?"
Zhong Kangshun nodded, already understanding the urgency of the matter. He couldn't help but smile wryly and said, "In that case, if our attack on the eastern front achieves our strategic objectives, that's fine. But if we fail, the losses will be huge. It would be better to launch a two-pronged attack, develop slowly, and then break into the rear of the rogue cultivators in one fell swoop."
Lin Xiuyuan's lips twitched. He had thought of that too, but of course he wouldn't admit it... He felt like he'd been tricked!
“Well, it seems my backup plan needs to be implemented soon.” Zhong Kangshun muttered to himself, then continued, “A couple of days ago, I saw that the battle was not achieving its intended effect, so I devised a backup plan. It’s perfect that you’re here, Manager Lin. Let’s hear your opinion, or see if you have any brilliant ideas.”
Immediately, Zhong Kangshun led Lin Xiuyuan into the main tent.
A sand table is placed in the center.
The layout of the map mainly outlines the terrain of the current location.
A large blue chess piece is placed straight in the center of the sand table, opposite which is a red chess piece of the same size, with the character "stone" written underneath it.
This is the main battlefield, with detailed terrain depicted, and every ravine clearly described and marked!
Around them, there were also scattered smaller red flags, planted in the mountains, valleys, and sacred hills, marking the surrounding resource areas, which were detailed in the map.
Further away, there are many red flags scattered around, without any specific terrain descriptions, only simple markings of their approximate locations.
Zhong Kangshun pointed to the smaller red flags around the main battlefield and said, "Since we can't achieve our strategic objectives on the main battlefield, and we need to seize benefits as soon as possible, let's divide our forces and attack these resource-rich areas around us. With our advantages, taking them down won't be a problem!"
"Then we temporarily abandoned the idea of going deeper into the heart of the territory and directly surrounded and attacked the Liushi Mine!"
"In this way, by fighting and taking, we can occupy more than ten resource-rich areas around us, including the Liushi Mine, six of which are excellent resource-producing areas, which is equivalent to half of the benefits of this eastern region! Even if the chief disciples of the four major sects of the demonic path arrive later and are forced to stop their offensive, we will still have obtained enough benefits."
At the end of his speech, Zhong Kangshun gestured with his hand, circling a large area around the blue flag.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiuyuan nodded. Zhong Kangshun's plan had truly struck a chord with him.
"Yes, that's good. This plan is excellent. I thought about it carefully on the way here, and it's roughly the same as yours. Let's proceed with this plan."
