Peony, standing nearby, also brightened up and couldn't help but praise it.
"Strategist, you're truly something."
At this moment, the peony is like a devoted fan.
"Master, you're amazing!" Rabbit Xiaowu's pure yet alluring face was filled with admiration and love.
Appreciation also gleamed in the eyes of the Fox Demon Queen, Hu Linglong. "Strategist, not bad, continue."
Gu Jian nodded, looked at a tall mountain on a sand table, and said, "That mountain is called Five Elements Thunder Mountain. On it is a Thunder Pool that has been passed down for ten thousand years."
"That was originally the location of the Mad Thunder Sect of the Chu Kingdom. Now, it has been occupied by Ye Chen's 100,000 demonic troops and a Heavenly Demon."
"The Five Elements Thunder Mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It would have been extremely difficult to eliminate the rebels on the mountain. However, we have the Heavenly Saint Demon."
"The Heavenly Saint Demon possesses the power of the Five Elements Thunder."
"He can draw upon the power of thunder, and he can also instantly detonate the thunder pool of the Five Elements Thunder Mountain, leveling the mountain to the ground in an instant."
"Along this way, we just need to send the Heavenly Saint Demon to go, and also take 20,000 demon troops to clean up the battlefield."
After speaking, Gu Jian placed the clay figure representing the Tongtian Holy Demon in the area where the Five Elements Thunder Mountain was located.
Fox Linglong's eyes lit up again.
She had originally thought that the journey would require an army of 100,000, but according to Gu Jian, it would only require 20,000.
This saved a significant amount of manpower.
Gu Jian looked in another direction.
It was a long canyon that looked like a mountain split in two.
Gu Jian said, "This is Chu Mausoleum, the site of the original imperial tombs of the Chu Kingdom. The dark power there is dense, and it is said to border with hell. Their general is also a powerful Heavenly Demon, reaching the level of a half-saint."
"If Your Majesty sends the Dark Saint Demon with an army of 100,000, the Dark Saint Demon, who controls the ultimate power of darkness, can easily kill the Half-Saint Heavenly Demon."
"After killing their leader, the rebels will be leaderless. Then, we can send 100,000 troops to join the Dark Saint Demon in a massive attack and slaughter them without leaving a single survivor."
Fox Linglong's eyes lit up.
Looking at the sand table, Gu Jian continued, "South of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom lies a plain called Fengluo. There, too, is stationed a rebel army of 100,000, as well as a powerful half-saint demon!"
"There is no cover on the plains. Your Majesty can send the Dawn Saint Demon with an army of 50,000. When the dawn of destruction arrives, with no terrain to shield the magical rebels, there is only death ahead."
Gu Jian then took out a white chess piece representing the dawn and placed it on the plain area called Falling Maple.
The fox demon queen's beautiful eyes sparkled.
She calculated that the two routes together numbered 150,000 men.
There are not many demon troops in the City of Ten Thousand Demons now.
But these are still manageable.
After looking at the sand table, Hu Linglong asked again, "What about the last piece of land?"
Gu Jian looked around and said, "The last place is Ye Chen's stronghold, the City of Ten Thousand Demons. It is located on the banks of the Chu River in the Chu Kingdom."
"From here to Wanmo City, we need to break through three passes and three lines of defense, with an estimated 100,000 rebel troops at each line of defense."
"If Your Majesty grants me 100,000 troops, I and the Chaos Saint Demon will surely be able to break through the three passes and reach the City of Ten Thousand Demons. We will capture Ye Chen alive!"
Fox Linglong was slightly taken aback.
He was so confident.
The Chaos Saint Demon, along with 100,000 demon soldiers, can defeat Ye Chen?
Even though the Chaos Saint Demon is very powerful, being one of the five great Saint Demons in the Cloud Realm.
But the other party has 300,000; isn't that too risky?
However, looking at him, he exuded confidence.
It was as if the army had set off.
Ye Chen and his loyal rebels will be wiped out.
A different kind of light flashed in Hu Linglong's charming eyes.
She did not refute Gu Jian, but asked, "Strategist, you have sent five Holy Demons to suppress the rebels in the country, but what about the two passes in the west and north? What if the Demon Kingdom of the Other Shore and the Ancient Kingdom of the Demon Dragon attack?"
Gu Jian smiled and said, "The western pass of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom is connected to the Other Shore Demon Kingdom, and the northern pass borders the Ancient Demon Dragon Kingdom."
"These two demon kingdoms have been attacking the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons for more than two months, but they have not been able to breach the pass. This shows that Your Majesty has sufficient countermeasures and can continue to defend the pass."
"In addition, although the five holy demons are sent elsewhere, as soon as they defeat their opponents, they will immediately withdraw to support the frontier."
"However, for safety's sake, I hope Your Majesty can personally lead a group to the northern or western passes, as long as Your Majesty can hold out for ten days."
Fox Spirit asked, "Why is it that we only need to persist for ten days?"
Gu Jian smiled slightly, "Within ten days, the Dawn Saint Demon and the Nine-Lives Fox Demon will surely have defeated the two rebel armies. At that time, they will come to support Your Majesty first."
"Once they arrive, both passes will be completely safe."
Fox Linglong paused slightly, glanced at the Dawn Saint Demon and the Nine-Lives Fox Demon, and said, "Are you so sure that they can defeat the rebels within ten days?"
Gu Jian smiled slightly and said, "Of course. I am willing to sign a military pledge that if they fail to provide timely support to His Majesty within ten days, I am willing to accept military punishment."
Hu Linglong's eyes widened; he actually said he would sign a pledge.
Even though she had questioned the four holy demons last night and had some understanding of their strength, she still had some knowledge of it.
But his direct pledge was too overconfident.
Fox Linglong took a deep breath, then her beautiful eyes flashed and she giggled, "Strategist, you said it yourself."
"If there is a one-day delay, I will decide how to handle it."
"Can!"
Gu Jian smiled slightly and began arranging the details again...
About half an hour later, the detailed arrangements were completed.
