While seemingly questioning Wang Yao, the Lord of Reclamation was actually preoccupied with the army's next move. Lu Da, a prisoner with an ambiguous identity and low cultivation level, posed little threat. Wang Yao could simply release him; the Lord of Reclamation didn't need to risk a falling out with Wang Yao over him.
"What should we do? Didn't you hear it all? Since the demons are trying every means to slow down our army's advance, let's do the opposite. Let's discard all our burdens, speed up our advance, and take down the Decapitation Demon City first," Wang Yao said without hesitation.
"You...you've thought it through..." The Lord of Reclamation was taken aback when he heard Wang Yao say this.
"Of course, what the enemy fears is what we are determined to do. Although we don't yet know why the demons are slowing down our army's march, it's never wrong to fight them head-on," Wang Yao said confidently.
"Have you considered the current strength of the army? What dangers might there be if we rashly venture into the Demon Realm?" The Lord of Reclaiming the Sea couldn't help but remind Wang Yao.
“When will our army be strong enough? Even if we can deal with the Decapitation Demon Realm, there are still five more Demon Realms behind us. We can’t worry about that now. First, we need to disrupt the demons’ plans, and then adjust our strategy based on their response.” Wang Yao shook his head.
"Since you've already thought it through, why are you still dragging your feet?" The Lord of Reclamation of the Sea, seeing Wang Yao's confident demeanor, immediately changed his expression and rebuked him.
"You think we can just accelerate like that? We need to listen to the opinions of the commanders of the Demon, Underworld, and Immortal armies. And should we establish a logistics base in the Whispering Forest? How will we ensure the army's retreat after it goes out? What if we get surrounded by the Demon Army?"
"I was just about to rush back to the central command to convene a meeting to discuss this matter. If you hadn't stopped me, the meeting would have already started," Wang Yao said irritably.
"Demons, Netherworld beings, immortals? Don't you care about the opinions of our divine race?" The Lord of Reclaiming the Sea didn't argue with Wang Yao about blocking the way, but instead focused on the divine race's position within the army.
"Damn it, you, the God Lord, can dismiss me with a single word. Who would dare not consider your opinion? Can you not attend our meetings?" Wang Yao frowned and said angrily.
"That's good, let's hurry over and get to the meeting!" Upon hearing this, the Goddess of Reclamation stopped arguing with Wang Yao and grabbed his arm with her small hand.
"Hey, I can teleport, you don't need to take me. As for Hui Shuo, he represents Buddhism, and also..." Wang Yao guessed what the God of Filling the Sea was mainly doing and hurriedly screamed to refuse. But before he could say anything, the scenery in front of him blurred, and when he looked again, he was already in the central army.
He turned around and found Hui Shuo standing beside him with a blank expression. He realized that although the Lord of Filling the Sea was reckless, he had not forgotten to bring Hui Shuo along.
Wang Yao then issued an order, inviting the leaders of all tribes to a temporary meeting at the central army headquarters. Before long, Zhang Liang, the Ghost King of Gale, Wei Zheng, Mu Shuai, and other commanders of the demon, underworld, immortal, and divine armies all arrived. During the meeting, Wang Yao got straight to the point and stated his plans.
Wei Zheng and Zhang Liang had met Lu Da with Wang Yao and understood the reasons behind Wang Yao's idea. Moreover, Wei Zheng was the one who started it, so neither of them raised any objections. Zhang Liang simply suggested that they could wait until the next round of reinforcements arrived before speeding up the advance.
After all, with the next wave of reinforcements, important figures from both the demon and underworld sides will join, significantly boosting the army's strength. By then, accelerating the pace will undoubtedly make the army's operations in the demon realm much safer.
Zhang Liang, who was in charge of the army's logistics, made a prudent suggestion. The Gale Ghost King then added his own opinion, pointing out that although the Whispering Forest was part of the Divine Realm of Reclaimed Land, it had actually been occupied by the Demon Clan for many years.
Once the army starts moving at high speed in the Decapitation Demon Realm, its retreat route is in danger of being cut off at any time. Therefore, he hopes to leave a force in the Whispering Forest to establish a stronghold. As the army goes deeper into the forest, the stronghold will be built one after another to ensure the stability of the army's retreat route.
Wang Yao rejected Zhang Liang's and Gale Ghost King's suggestions one by one. Although both of their opinions were very pertinent, the conditions did not allow it.
Following Zhang Liang's advice, the army should continue to move at a slow pace for a while. As the saying goes, speed is of the essence in war. Now that they have understood the demons' purpose, if the army continues to move at a snail's pace, even if it delays by only a second, it will be tantamount to aiding the enemy, which is unacceptable.
If we follow the advice of the Gale Ghost King, our army will inevitably be scattered into many small groups. It is very likely that we will not only fail to achieve our goal of securing our rear, but we will also be easily devoured by the demon army. Therefore, after entering the Demon Realm, it is more important to ensure that our army's strength is concentrated.
"Currently, the army is still operating in a concentrated manner, discarding all burdens, and is rapidly advancing with the goal of beheading the Demon City. Wei Zheng is leading the immortals to be responsible for the rear of the army, clearing out the inferior demons along the way after the army passes, and also being responsible for receiving subsequent reinforcements."
"Subsequent reinforcements can either establish strongholds behind the main army or join forces directly, depending on the development of the battle at the front. Alternatively, they can open another front in the east to coordinate with the main army to jointly attack and decapitate the Demon City. We will make a decision based on the development of the battle at that time."
"Our army will choose the shortest route to the Decapitation Demon City..." Wang Yao said, pointing to the map of the Decapitation Demon Realm.
On the map, the closest route between the army and the Decapitation Demon City is only three cities away: Blackwood City, Smoke City, and General Pass City. Once these three cities are captured, the army can directly reach the Decapitation Demon City.
"If everyone has no objections, I will now readjust the various units of the army. Apart from the Immortal Legion leaving the army to roam and guard the rear of the entire army, the vanguard, middle army, and rear army of the entire army will be reorganized into the demon race, the underworld race, and the god race respectively."
