Upon hearing this, Zhong Kangshun felt reassured. Lin Xiuyuan possessed a unique and far-sighted strategic vision. Since he agreed with it so much, the plan must be flawless.
but……
Zhong Kangshun's expression hardened slightly, and he said, "Steward Lin, there is another crucial point in this matter. If we split our forces to attack and capture other places, then the lost mines will inevitably send troops out. Although the enemy as a whole is not as strong as us, if they split their forces, they will be able to easily wipe out any one of our armies."
"Therefore, an army needs to be stationed here to block or delay the army entering the Liushi Mine!"
"However, the strategy of dividing the forces is paramount. Therefore, the number of cultivators left to guard the area should not exceed two thousand, and in fact, the fewer the better! So, leaving behind cultivators tasked with this important mission here might..."
"I'm afraid it might be a bad omen!" Lin Xiuyuan said what Zhong Kangshun hadn't finished.
After a moment's thought, Lin Xiuyuan said calmly:
"There are gains and losses, so let's arrange it this way."
...
…………
Seeing Lin Xiuyuan nod in agreement did not make Zhong Kangshun's expression much better, because this was inevitable.
In matters of war, how can one avoid danger?
Zhong Kangshun hesitated for a moment, then continued, "There's one more thing. Since the main objective here is to achieve victory with fewer troops and delay the enemy's main force, the coordination of formations is crucial, so..."
Seeing the other person's expression and hearing their words, Lin Xiuyuan knew exactly what they wanted to say, so he simply interrupted and said:
"So you're planning to have Zhong Jiajia and the other high-ranking disciples of the Xuan lineage stay behind to help resist, right?"
"Hmm." Zhong Kangshun gave a dry laugh.
If it were someone else, he wouldn't be so hesitant.
Even if we rewind the timeline a bit, it wouldn't be like this.
However, ever since they emerged from the secret realm, they have witnessed Lin Xiuyuan's great talent and strategic vision, as well as his ability to plan and strategize.
In this respect, Zhong Kang had already been completely convinced.
Not to mention, Lin Xiuyuan's skills and talent make him the only candidate to lead the Yunxiao Sect in the future!
Naturally, everyone had a deep respect and admiration for Lin Xiuyuan, including him.
When it comes to such matters, some hesitation is naturally inevitable.
After all, the relationship between Zhong Jiajia and Lin Xiuyuan was no secret.
Zhong Jiajia made no attempt to conceal anything, so naturally others knew what was going on.
In fact, it had already spread far and wide...
Zhong Kangshun added, "However, it doesn't have to be that way. After all, conquering other resource areas also requires the help of Xuanmai disciples. Having a higher-level array master like Zhong Jiajia would naturally be better."
Lin Xiuyuan remained calm and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, no need for further words, let's do it this way."
"It is crucial to hold the line here, otherwise the various armies will be defeated one by one. It is best to leave high-level Xuanmai disciples behind to stabilize the formation. As for the other resource areas, ordinary Xuanmai disciples are more than enough to cooperate with the various armies."
After a pause, Lin Xiuyuan continued calmly, "Similarly, guarding this place is of utmost importance, as it concerns the overall war effort. I will also stay here to coordinate the overall situation, prevent this place from being breached, and do my best to delay the enemy."
"Ah? No, how can you take such a risk? Is it because of Zhong Jiajia...? In that case, why not have her join one of the main armies?"
Zhong Kangshun quickly replied.
Lin Xiuyuan twitched the corner of his mouth, shook his head helplessly, and said, "No, you followed me out of the secret realm, how could you have so little confidence in me? With me here to lead the team to resist, the chances of victory are much greater, why would you risk your life?"
Seeing this, Zhong Kangshun knew it would be difficult to persuade him, but he still wanted to try again. However, before he could speak, Lin Xiuyuan waved his hand to interrupt him.
Lin Xiuyuan smiled calmly and said, "Alright, let's decide on that. Oh, right, there's one more thing."
Seeing this, Zhong Kangshun could only shake his head helplessly, and then said, "What other arrangements do you have?"
"The main direction of attack is this way. Leave this place to me. Once the situation has stabilized and there is no need to guard this place, I will personally lead the troops to capture it."
Lin Xiuyuan's expression was somewhat complicated. He pointed and said calmly before walking out of the tent. "You are the commander-in-chief. You can arrange the specific matters from now on."
Upon seeing this, Zhong Kangshun sighed, cupped his hands in greeting towards Lin Xiuyuan's retreating figure, and began to call over several deputies to make specific arrangements.
...
…………
A deafening roar filled the sky as countless magical artifacts poured forth, creating a scene of utter cataclysmic destruction.
It lasted for more than an hour.
That's when things gradually calmed down.
However, this did not make the various demonic forces within the formation lower their guard.
Judging from the situation over the past few days, it won't be quiet for long. Soon, a powerful offensive will be launched again, and it won't stop until they are defeated.
In the main tent.
Wu Xingteng, the protector of the Hehuan Sect, and Gan Yuan, the protector of the Seven Blood Sect, sat in the head seats and began to make arrangements, organize military supplies, and prepare for the upcoming attack.
Below are various demonic forces, mostly aristocratic families, who are mostly protectors and deacons, with fewer sects and gangs.
After all, given the domineering nature of the demonic path, it would naturally not give up more resources to the forces below it, unlike the Nine Kingdoms Alliance, where sects are heavily dependent on each other, and resources are gathered layer by layer from the bottom up.
The actions of the demonic path need not be concealed.
The forces under the four major demonic sects are mostly descended from the bloodlines of past generations of elders and other aristocratic families. The few remaining sects are those that were established by high-level cultivators from the four major demonic paths, and are all intricately connected to the main sects.
