Chapter 2108: Cooperation

Chapter 2108 -2106: Cooperation

Yang Feixue and the others returned to the hidden valley, while Zhuge Xuanji followed Li Feng to the Fire Phoenix camp. At the frontline of the First Line Pass, the fierce attack and defense battle continued.

It wasn’t until the Golden Crow fell toward the west and the night unfolded that the day’s battle came to an end.

First Line Pass Garrison.

At this moment, strong figures gathered, and Ouyang Tianshu opened the Xuanwu Domain to shield the garrison. Early in the morning, the wine Taoist, Zheng Tu, and some unfamiliar faces gathered at a long table.

The silent atmosphere persisted for a long time.

At this moment, a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and a sharp look slapped the table, sweeping his gaze left and right: “Since no one is speaking, I’ll take the initiative to say a few words.”

“On the opposite side, in the Fire Phoenix camp, Feng Yang is impersonated by someone from Ancestor Dragon City, and this person is actually a disciple of my Nine Layers Mountain, praised by the Martial Strategy Hall as a commander.”

“Not only has he successfully infiltrated the Demon Clan, but also acquired an army of 100,000 troops, and even killed more than a dozen Demon Kings, rescuing the White Tiger Guards trapped for two hundred years. He personally came to inform us of the Demon Clan’s plans, intending to join forces with us to counterattack the Candle Dragon Demon Country’s army in front of us.”

“Is there any reason to hesitate? I really don’t know what you’re all worrying about; if we miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you and I will be the sinners of Ancestor Dragon City.”

The middle-aged war general hadn’t finished speaking when a mocking laugh was heard.

“What is it, Wu Lao Er, do you have an opinion on my words?”

The man who laughed sarcastically was from the Wu family, ranked second, but he was a scholar from Ru Mountain.

“Weichi Lie, is your brain made of muscles?”

Bang.

Weichi Lie directly slapped the table, his sharp eyes staring at Wu Wen across from him. Wu Wen faced Weichi Lie’s angry gaze with a calm demeanor, then raised the feather fan in his hand, speaking coldly while looking at Weichi Lie.

“Trouble yourself to think. Indeed, Li Feng is a disciple of your Nine Layers Mountain, but as far as I know, he has been with Nine Layers Mountain for only three days. I won’t deny that he received a commander evaluation from your Martial Strategy Hall, but from his actions, he may not necessarily be a loyal subject of Ancestor Dragon City; he seems more like a hero!”

“An ordinary person doesn’t have the courage to impersonate a descendant of the Fire Phoenix Clan and can even momentarily deceive three Demon Generals on the opposite side. From this point of view, the commander evaluation is well-deserved.”

“But don’t forget, he led the Fire Phoenix camp to attack our First Line Pass for several days, killing our soldiers, and even personally took action against our First Line Pass. The broken tower at the First Line Pass is still vivid in memory.”

“Hmph, it was merely for the sake of acting. As for the damage, it seems he hurt more, otherwise, if he truly intended to attack, it wouldn’t have been just a little damage.”

“Besides, a general’s achievement buries countless bones; in war, people die. If not for his intelligence, we would still be in the dark.”

Weichi Lie said.

“Oh, you seem to forget that the intelligence about the Demon Clan breaking through the pass in three days was also delivered by him. Who knows which piece of intelligence is true and which is false?”

“But those dozens of Demon King corpses are real, right? You wouldn’t suggest that the Demon Clan deliberately killed these Demon Kings to set a trap for us.”

“We only have about forty to fifty combatants at First Line Pass comparable to these Demon Kings. If they truly went all out, even if we held the pass, the losses would be severe.”

“I’ve seen the bitter meat strategy before, but such a drastic bitter meat strategy, ha, what is the Demon Clan planning?”

“And earlier in the Northern camp, as far as I know, the opposite side could have completely annihilated the entire camp; how do you explain that?”

Wu Wen raised his eyes to look at Weichi Lie, wishing to refute, but held back, as the cause and effect were indeed perplexing.

The debates between the two basically represented the divisions among the many strong figures present, but most calmly analyzed and tended to believe Li Feng’s words.

“Focus on the matter, not the person. I believe if the opposite side set a trap, they wouldn’t need such a cumbersome procedure. To put it bluntly, it’s like taking off one’s pants to fart, unnecessary.”

“Moreover, do not overlook one point that’s very important: of the nearly thirty Demon Kings that the opposite side mentioned, including those killed and those who left, if they were truly heading to West Pass and not attacking us, what are the consequences?”

“West Pass has 300,000 cultivators, strong figures in the Golden Core Late Stage aren’t few, plus the defensive arrays of West Pass and the disruptions caused by the White Tiger Clan on the Western Demon Country, breaking the pass isn’t so easy.”

“We all think so, but the Fox Clan of Qingqiu still chose the West Pass. These thirty Demon Kings are obviously planning a strike from behind. From what we know of Qingqiu, the old foxes there indeed plan more than they show.”

“Though Li Feng has disrupted part of their plan, was this part truly critical for breaking the pass? If not, they surely have other arrangements that can break the pass in one go.”

“Do you want to gamble? If we assume these thirty Demon Kings attempting to sneak are their entire card, and the West Pass won’t fall, we can continue defending the First Line Pass without issue. As long as the Demon Clan cannot break any of the four passes, once Ancestor Dragon City finishes mobilizing, a counterattack is imminent.”

“But if West Pass falls, that will start a disaster. If we fail to predict West Pass’s downfall, what will happen? We will be surrounded by Demon Clan coming from behind, both us and Northern Pass.”

“Once the elite forces of the four passes are lost, Ancestor Dragon City will be unusually passive against the Demon Clan coalition.”

“If West Pass’s fall is inevitable, yet we can defeat Candle Dragon Demon Country’s million-strong army in the south at First Line Pass, the situation will turn around, as Candle Dragon Demon Country is the largest of the Demon Clan coalition.”

“Once their forces suffer heavy losses, the balance of the war will still be maintained.”

“Ouyang Guardian, you are the guardian here and the one in charge of the overall situation. What is your decision?”

Everyone turned their eyes to Ouyang Tianshu at the top.

Perhaps Ouyang Tianshu wasn’t the strongest present, but Ancestor Dragon City had strict regulations during wartime, with war guidance led by Nine Layers Mountain’s generals, while other strong figures must follow military orders.

So, the most crucial decision rested with Ouyang Tianshu. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

Ouyang Tianshu took a deep breath: “Everyone, I don’t have a good impression of that kid Li Feng. He’s defiant and quite ambitious, maybe not easily used by Ancestor Dragon City.”

“But, given the current situation, regardless of Li Feng’s real intentions, we have a common goal for now: the Demon Clan army in front.”

“Hence, I’ve decided to cooperate.”
