Chapter 1404: Chapter 991: A Small Request (4K)_2

As for deploying the Eternal Army...that’s the Border City’s last resort. It absolutely must not be wasted at the Bottom Nest.

And as a guest of the giant city, Captain Li Changhe naturally was also in the meeting room.

He, having disguised his face again, was intently observing each executive, hoping to catch someone slipping.

His Cold Reading Skill was scrutinizing every person, and he would notice immediately if someone’s words didn’t match their thoughts.

The way the Beastmen had silently grown to their current scale was utterly shocking.

There must be someone from the giant city aiding them in some way.

Unfortunately, the executives present were seriously dealing with the Beastmen crisis, and even with the Cold Reading Skill, he couldn’t find anyone’s loophole.

Li Changhe couldn’t help but frown.

The number and growth of Beastmen had exceeded the expectations, and taking action against the Beastmen would inevitably require the use of a vast amount of military force.

Currently, the human championship fleet and tens of thousands of the guard army were heading to the wilderness to intercept the Plague Legion.

If military force was to be divided to deal with the Beastmen again, the Border City’s defense line would face some problems.

But as the second general said, the Beastmen could not go undefended.

Fighting street battles with the Beastmen put humans at a disadvantage.

The anatomical structure of Beastmen allowed them to withstand more damage than humans; the same bullet to the chest that would leave a human soldier crippled would barely slow a Beastman.

The Eternal Prosperous Tang Dynasty had developed the armored warrior precisely because, on the expedition paths, they encountered many races stronger than humans.

If armored warriors were used against the Beastmen, the advantage would likely be significant.

But having human soldiers face Beastmen soldiers would inevitably result in terrifying casualties.

Not to mention, the Bottom Nest was currently the Beastmen’s home field. The terrain might be more suitable and familiar to them than to humans.

It was truly unfortunate that their contingency plan had become the Beastmen’s base. The Bottom Nest, originally intended to counter Different Races, was now a headache for humans.

An hour into the meeting, the defense forces still couldn’t agree on a suitable plan.

At that moment, the City Lord turned to Li Changhe, "Captain, do you have any suggestions? You are also a leader of an army."

The defense forces’ officers instantly fell silent, all eyes turning towards Li Changhe.

Indeed, as a captain, Li Changhe was entitled to propose his plans.

Although, many in the defense forces were skeptical about his feats of killing the Great Chaos Demon and slaying the Chaos Demon army, they couldn’t deny the battlefield aura he exuded, an aura confirmed by those he had faced.

"Indeed, Captain, feel free to discuss any tactics you might have."

"Captain, I hear you come from another world. Perhaps you have some effective methods for dealing with the Beastmen?" the officers asked.

"While I indeed hold a military rank and have killed some enemies, I might not be as strategic as you all," Li Changhe pondered.

"A bit... does that refer to the Tian Ce General of the Great Tang? Are you perhaps misunderstanding the significance of that rank?" Yun Ting commented sarcastically in his mind, "Just a bit? The number of Different Races and Chaos followers who have died by your hand are countless. The nuclear bomb you set off alone killed tens of millions of Chaos Believers!"

In reality, Li Changhe was not being modest. Although he held the prestigious rank of Tian Ce General of the Great Tang, second in command only to the Emperor of the Great Tang, the Different Races and Chaos followers he had led the army to slay were beyond count.

In the Eternal Prosperous Tang Dynasty, he had, with the authority of a Tian Ce General, awakened all battle groups and furiously eradicated Chaos traitors and their servants.

At the Chenhai Capital Protectorate, he exercised the power of the Chenhai Military Commissioner, gathering legions to exterminate the Insect Race within Xuan City.

At the Sky Mountain Giant City, he led a team to assault the Chaos Demon army, slaying hundreds of Demon Generals and emerged as the champion. Ultimately, he captured the giant city and detonated a nuclear bomb, sending tens of millions of followers to hell.

But in fact, he had never orchestrated any strategies. When leading Great Tang soldiers, he was more often on the vanguard. Though called Tian Ce General, his role was truly that of a frontier leader.

Even at the Chenhai Capital Protectorate, he had merely issued orders for the troops to assemble and follow him to annihilate the Insect Race.

In the Sky Mountain Giant City, it was the Great Wall players who devised the tactics, which he merely executed.

He didn’t have much experience in strategic planning.

Thus, he spoke up, "I believe it is more prudent to fight in the Bottom Nest, and I will provide special weapons. They may help reduce the pressure from the Beastmen. A reconnaissance squad will also stay in the Bottom Nest to assist you. They will teach you how to use these weapons."

"I don’t deny your prowess, Captain. Your aura is more formidable than any enemy I’ve encountered. But there are no weapons that can immediately reverse the course of a battle. Nonetheless, thank you. When I get back..." the first general thanked him.

"Damn it, don’t jinx yourself. Otherwise, I might suggest replacing the general for this mission," Li Changhe chuckled lightly.

The general burst into laughter, seemingly unconcerned with the so-called flag planting.

The Border City Master gave a slight nod and then issued a command, "Enter the Bottom Nest, and let no Beastman leave it alive. If necessary, I will deploy the Eternal Army."

"Yes, I will go personally!" the general responded. "I won’t let the Beastmen leave the Bottom Nest. If I fail, then deploy the Eternal Army."

Seeing the plan was agreed upon, the officer who opposed street fighting sighed and said to the former, "I wish you success. If you encounter difficulties, you must persevere."

The general nodded slightly.

Then, the general turned and left the meeting room.

He began to gather his subordinates, preparing for a bloody street battle with the Beastmen.

As for the ’weapon’ Li Changhe had given him, he wasn’t actually very concerned about it.

After all, this ’weapon’ looked rather ordinary.

It was nothing but a jade body shell dripping with blood...

...

On the other hand, in a high-end apartment.

Hai Qing, looking somewhat bored, watched the landscape of the giant city and observed the assembly of a large number of guardsmen in the distance.

He couldn’t help but murmur, "Well, the task involving the Beastmen has been well accomplished."

At that moment, a member of the Sea Clan knelt on one knee before Hai Qing. "Lord Hai Jun hopes that you, the princess, will leave the Border City immediately after the plan begins. The lord is concerned for your safety."

"Ha. How could I abandon my glory?" Hai Qing stretched out her slender legs, resting them on the knee of the Sea Clan warrior, and scoffed, "This giant city will soon bow at my feet. Why should I leave? Which tribe does he intend to give this glory to?"

The Sea Clan warrior bowed his head in silence, not daring to look at the fair legs resting on his knee. He didn’t want to get involved in a conflict between Lord Hai Jun and the princess.

Lord Hai Jun was naturally Hailing Mountain.

As former adversaries, now king and queen.

The relationship between Hailing Mountain and Hai Qing was quite delicate.

Before Hailing Mountain became a Demigod, they were rivals.

After he became a Demigod, however, he made Hai Qing his queen.

To win over Hai Qing’s tribe.

At least, that’s what Hai Qing believed; otherwise, given their previous relationship,

Why would he make her his queen? Was it purely out of love for her body?

Well, although it was also quite comfortable...

But since becoming the queen, the influence of all tribes, including hers, began to wane. This was something she could not accept.

Therefore, in order to increase her tribe’s voice within the Sea Clan, Hai Qing did not intend to leave the Border City.

She needed to gain enough power and heritage here.

Of course, to make Hai Qing yield, taking over the giant city as a stronghold was not enough. They needed more substantial leverage...

Like, a fleet!

...

Meanwhile, back in the now-dismissed meeting room, Ye Yi watched Li Changhe and the Military Commissioner leave, pondering.

He remembered the request his ’lover’ had made to him; she wanted to enter the City Lord’s Mansion, to meet the rumored powerful Ship Captain.

A woman from the Bottom Nest... wanting to meet the Ship Captain? What for?

While it was strange, it also reminded Ye Yi of the Military Commissioner’s smile, stirring some jealousy in him.

Was the Ship Captain not satisfied with having stolen the Military Commissioner, or did he also want to take away his woman?

But... recalling Hai Qing’s enchanting physique and beautiful eyes, Ye Yi dismissed the eerily discordant feelings and agreed.

After all, he’d have the opportunity tomorrow. So he might as well fulfill her small request.
