Chapter 1260: Chapter 1253: Blunt Their Sharpness

"Whether we can beat them is still a question," Baiyue sighed.

"What should we do?" Feng tilted his head as he looked at them.

"I do have an idea," Cheng Ziang thought for a moment, then said.

"You’re not thinking of doing something reckless again, are you?" Baiyue stared at him and asked.

"Luo’er gave us two days’ time, but we’ve actually used just one day. We still have one day left," Cheng Ziang gestured.

"That one day is for us to return, a thirty-kilometer mountain road. You don’t really think we can fly back, do you?" Baiyue shrugged and said.

"How could he give us one day just to let us return," Cheng Ziang spread his hands and explained, "Luo’er himself isn’t sure if we can find that commander in one day. We just happened to do so."

"Then what do you want to do?" Baiyue asked.

"The recent events have been a huge blow to the morale of our advance team, especially the generals from the Dongsheng Empire. I’m thinking, perhaps we should set an ambush, lure a few generals in, then collectively take them out. In this way, on one hand, we prove our own strength, confirming that we can defeat the generals with the weapons and equipment we presently have. On the other hand, it will also reassure that general named Xuan, preventing him from constantly questioning our capabilities," Cheng Ziang said enthusiastically.

"This is not a game. If it goes wrong, we could all end up dead," Baiyue said sternly.

"Who will end up dead, we can’t say for sure," Cheng Ziang shrugged confidently, "Don’t forget, we now have Xiao Fula as the commander, and I have my great-grandma’s blessing, with two demigods among us. Think about it—even if the generals are formidable, they are just cultivators, the same level as mages. What do we have to fear from them?"

"That’s true..." Baiyue frowned, caught in a dilemma.

"Hey, why are you wavering like Luo’er? That’s not a good trait. Although we can’t resist an army of a hundred thousand, with the blessing of demigods, dealing with just a few generals should be no problem at all."

Pausing a moment, Cheng Ziang continued, "Whether it’s us in the advance team or Abisien, from top to bottom, there seems to be a prevailing sense of defeatism. They always believe that the generals of the Dongsheng army are unbeatable, always thinking that the thousand generals are unassailable. Reflecting on the history of West Outer Heaven over the years, one can see, although the people of the Demon Clan are wary of the invasion from the Dongsheng Empire, they have never given up resistance and have always managed to repel them. Why should we boost their morale and destroy our own prestige?"

Cheng Ziang’s words really made sense, so Baiyue fell into deep thought for a long while. After a good pause, as if she had made up her mind, she looked at Cheng Ziang and asked, "Do you have a specific plan?"

"Of course," Cheng Ziang raised his finger and said, "Simply two words, night attack."

"Night attack?" Baiyue raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, night attack," Cheng Ziang explained, "The Dongsheng army is still very classical in terms of visual-range combat and has almost no experience in night battles. What would they do if they were attacked at their camp at night?"

"Send troops to encircle?" Baiyue asked tentatively.

"No no no, moving troops at night can easily lead to chaos, but it will definitely cause a camp uproar. Tell me, why have we never seen the Demon Clan harassing the Dongsheng army, instead letting them constantly encroach upon the land in West Outer Heaven? If you want to win against the stronger, wouldn’t cutting off their supply lines and reinforcements be the optimal strategy?" Cheng Ziang guided her thoughts.

"Because, because..." Baiyue frowned, she seemed to recall something but couldn’t remember it at the moment.

"Because the Dongsheng army has generals, and the strength of one general alone can handle a small force attacking them, so mounting a raid would definitely be a loss, right?" Cheng Ziang prompted.

"Exactly, exactly!" Baiyue said, suddenly enlightened.

"So here’s the thing," Cheng Ziang showed a smug expression, "if the Dongsheng army is attacked now, who do you think they’re likely to send to deal with the attackers?"

"The generals!" Baiyue pointed out.

"That’s right, and based on past experiences, they definitely won’t send just one general, but two or three, maybe up to four at most. Then, we’ll just..." Cheng Ziang raised his eyebrows and made a gesture of encirclement.

"We can wipe them out!" Baiyue’s eyes sparkled with admiration.

"But..." In her excitement, Baiyue couldn’t help feeling worried, "Can we really defeat the generals?"

"We won’t know until we try. If we keep mythologizing them and undermining ourselves, we will only feel increasingly that they are unbeatable. We have three people, two gods, facing a few generals, I think there shouldn’t be a problem," Cheng Ziang said.

"What’s the specific plan?" After pondering for a moment, Baiyue looked at him and asked.

"Among the three of us now, you are the sniper, responsible for long-range shooting. Although I definitely can’t defeat a general, I still have a trump card, so it’s not a big deal. Feng has the strongest combat ability, naturally becoming the main force against these generals. Then, I’ll be responsible for tying them up, while you look for opportunities to snipe," Cheng Ziang thought and spoke.

"Using the Origin Submachine Gun could risk hurting Feng. Teacher Zhu mentioned that the Inner Core has a Black Hole Effect, directly drawing in nearby Yuanzi Units and completing a collision reaction inside the Dantian. If such an incident were to occur, Feng would be directly finished, how would we explain that to Luo’er?" Baiyue raised a concern.

"I’ll be careful," Feng interjected.

"This isn’t about you being careless or not, we need to avoid such situations from the root," Baiyue said sternly, giving her a glance.

"Well, in that case, I’ll handle the tying up, and Feng can just bring them over," Cheng Ziang thought and said, "I don’t have an Inner Core, so it won’t be drawn to me."

"But your mobility device has a Magic Crystal," Baiyue reminded, "Even with a super mobility device, you’re no match for a general, and without it, you would be even more helpless. If I miss my shot, wouldn’t that put you in danger?"

"Uh..." Cheng Ziang was stumped and fell into contemplation.

"That..." Just as the plan stalled, Feng slowly raised her hand, speaking weakly, "I, I also have an Origin Gun, I can shoot myself, no need for your protection."

"Do you know Gun Fighting Skill?" Cheng Ziang and Baiyue exchanged glances, asking unconsciously.

"Yes, Senior Brother taught me," Feng nodded and said.

"He actually taught you... wait, when did that old man invent Gun Fighting Skill!" Cheng Ziang felt the conversation was filled with ridiculous points.

"Oh, you’re so stubborn," at this point, Fulajie’er apparently couldn’t stand it any longer and actively appeared in front of the three, speaking disdainfully, "If you’re that scared of the Origin Gun hitting Little Fengye, just let her shoot herself. She can’t shoot herself, right? Plus, Baiyue, didn’t you bring a real bullet rifle? Just use that, what’s there to fuss about."

"That’s a good plan, but it does mean more hardship for Feng," Cheng Ziang nodded as he spoke.

"I’m not afraid of hardships, I like this," Feng said, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

"What do you think?" Cheng Ziang asked, turning to Baiyue.

"Hmm, I think it’s a good idea," Baiyue nodded, paused, then turned to Fulajie’er and said, "But, it means more trouble for Fula, she has to command, scout, and maybe even cover..."

"With great power comes great responsibility, don’t mind me. Just remember my contributions, don’t be ungrateful; I’ve put in so much effort but get no credit," Fulajie’er said sarcastically.

"Thanks for the hard work, Xiao Fula," Cheng Ziang grinned sheepishly.

"Don’t call me Xiao Fula!" Fulajie’er snapped angrily and vanished on the spot.
