Without further ado, Wang Long's current strength to defeat Song Shuping largely relies on the power boost he received from absorbing the golden light during his Eighteen Layers of Hell and Yellow Springs.
Wang Long frowned deeply, and Princess Liling beside him said in confusion, "Even so, do we have any other options? The war between us and the Human Emperor is inevitable, and if we don't take advantage of their weakest moment to weaken them now, how will we cope later?"
"It's simple. Since the Human Emperor is currently in seclusion, it means that during this period, he won't be able to take large-scale actions. The danger to us will be minimized! During this time, we should also greatly enhance our own strength. Only then, when we confront the Human Emperor, will we not be at a disadvantage."
"Enhance our own strength?" Several people exchanged glances, realizing the gap between them and Wang Long, unable to comprehend his thoughts.
"Leader, enhancing strength is mutual, right? That doesn't necessarily mean we can overpower the Human Emperor."
"Hehe, that's why we need a dual approach. On one hand, as you said, we should take advantage of the fact that we have confirmed the Human Emperor is in seclusion to bully them a bit and ideally drive them out of the divine realm. Don't forget that while the Primordial Energy is still flowing into the current world, some distant places in the eight continents have yet to be affected. Moreover, the Spiritual Essence is much thinner than around Dragon City; in this regard, we hold an advantage. Taking this opportunity to eliminate one or two of their generals would also be a good strategy. On the other hand, we need to think of ways from other directions."
"The current world is fundamental to our strength, but after all, we've already looted quite a bit of Extraordinary Treasure for the sake of Eighteen Layers of Hell and Yellow Springs and Thirty-Six Heavens Palace. Plus, preparing for a great war means that seizing land from the Human Emperor isn't very meaningful. Instead, we should focus on the divine realm above. If we could acquire another Phoenix Play Golden Pearl or something similar as an Extraordinary Treasure, it would be a significant achievement."
Jiang Xue cautiously said, "Such good fortune won't just appear in Heavenly Capital. Besides, we're already close to Nanhua City. The relationship with Xuanmen has reached its best period; they are turning a blind eye to our various actions in Nanhua City. If we deepen our actions further, who knows if Xuanmen will continue to be friendly towards us? Not to mention whether we'll touch upon the interests of the Holy Divine Gate."
"Then let's not focus on the area around Nanhua City. On one hand, the Great Gobi itself is a treasure; don't forget that the beasts there are no weaker than those in the Northern Qian Mountain Range, and it has a larger area. As long as we can withstand that kind of Black Qi storm, there’s great potential. On another front is the west of the Northern Qian Mountain Range."
"A direct expedition? Is that reliable?" Although since Wang Long took charge of Dragon City, everyone there had become bold and daring, hearing his words still made them feel apprehensive.
This was preparation for a desperate fight!
"Dragon Lord, think it over again. If we're going for a direct expedition with our currently thin strength in the divine realm, we'll have to commit our main forces. At that point, they could easily uproot our foundation; even Xuanmen shouldn't be overly trusted."
"Hehe, foundation? Do we have any so-called foundation in the divine realm? You seem to forget that both Nanhua City and Fire Village are territories of the divine clan. Even if they go there, what can they do? Uproot it completely? Kill their own kin? More importantly, you should consider their mindset carefully. This expedition not only eliminates a major threat within Xuanmen, but also alleviates any concerns from the Holy Divine Gate about whether we'll target them. Although we've had conflicts with the Game God Sect, we've merely passed through the territory of the Evil Extermination Sect, relieving them of considerable pressure. While the strength of the Giant Clan is decent, it's limited by their reproductive capabilities; their power hasn't progressed much over thousands of years since being heavily struck by the divine clan. As long as our strategies are sound, there's no reason we can't push them back and seize large areas afterward for mining resources and gathering treasures. By then, will you still worry about our slow progress in strength? Moreover, since the Giant Clan is an ancient lineage, they must possess some powerful artifacts; if we succeed in acquiring them, we'll still maintain an advantage over the Human Emperor, catching him off guard when he emerges from seclusion."
At this point, everyone felt they had been convinced by Wang Long.
Furthermore, individuals like Cai Burin and Man Qianyi, as long as they were given an enemy worth fighting against, would be satisfied. Whether that enemy was the Human Emperor or the Giant Clan, they truly didn't mind much at all.
Moreover, the style of the Giant Clan might be more to their liking.
"Alright! Since everyone has no objections now, let's assign some tasks. The first task is an intelligence mission. Our understanding of the Giant Clan in the divine realm is almost nonexistent. Although Brothers Cai Burin and Song Shuping are certainly familiar with them, it has been over a thousand years since they last fought against them, let alone infiltrated the territory of the giants for reconnaissance. Therefore, we can only rely on battlefield reconnaissance when the time comes. In fact, gathering intelligence on the Giant Clan has already been part of our plan; just before this meeting, we dispatched three groups of scouts in that direction. I believe that for the Giant Clan, whose defensive density is not too strong, having three groups of scouts, although a bit excessive in number, will be cautious enough from dawn till dusk to avoid any mishaps. The specific battle plan will have to wait until we receive their reports. However, we can certainly conduct a rough outline now and also arrange various logistics for the march.
At that moment, a sudden commotion erupted outside, as if something significant had occurred.
Wang Long felt puzzled; it was broad daylight after all. Even if the Human Emperor's people wanted to stage a counter-ambush, they shouldn't make such a loud noise.
"Report, Leader." A disciple quickly came in to relay the situation, "The disciples we sent to the Northern Qian Mountain Range yesterday have all returned, and..."
"And what? Spit it out! Have you forgotten the first commandment for messengers?"
"No, no! I wouldn't dare forget! It's just that those brothers have all been killed and dragged back in a cart!"
"What!" This time it was the elders present who became unsettled.
"Leader, should I go take a look?"
"No need. Such a big incident must have caused quite a stir in the camp. Let's all go see together." Wang Long waved his hand and led everyone out of the Main Tent.
At this point, the cart had already brought the bodies to before the Main Tent.
"Leader, we can confirm the numbers. All those scouts we sent out are here!" Zuyong leaned closer to Wang Long, whispering a reminder.
Wang Long slowly walked to the center of the cart and looked at the bodies being dragged.
He couldn't imagine how they were treated while alive; each person's face bore an expression of terror. It was evident that this time, the hidden power behind this incident was not something trivial. It was likely beyond what any medium-sized force Wang Long had encountered could easily achieve. Not to mention that it happened without them even realizing it.
"Who discovered them first?" Wang Long slowly calmed the anger in his heart. Although he still wanted to burn everything in front of him, he was holding back.
"It was me." A Patrolling Disciple stepped forward. "Dragon Head, I went to greet them this time, and also to check what was behind those carriages. But when I got there, it turned out to be like this. Those Scouts were all killed. They couldn't even finish a sentence."
It was clear that from the very beginning, it was a one-sided massacre, which left these Scouts completely powerless to escape, and they were brutally killed.
"At that time, did you look around at the situation outside the camp?"
"No, at that moment I was so shocked that I couldn't move. It took me a long time to regain my senses, and I hurriedly called my companions over and reported this to the captain."
"Well, you can go now. Remember, as a Patrolling Disciple, you must never be in a state of fear regardless of what you see. Always stay alert, observe your surroundings, and if you encounter any changes, sound the alarm while checking for the presence of enemies." Wang Long felt dissatisfied but did not directly reprimand him; he merely reminded him calmly.
"Yes, I will remember," the disciple acknowledged, knowing that his behavior had been unacceptable and nodding sincerely in apology.
"What do the elders think?" Wang Long slowly asked everyone.
Jiang Xue carefully examined each person's injuries. Hearing Wang Long's question, she said solemnly, "I fear this time we have encountered new enemies!"
