Chapter 1405: Chapter 992: Cleansing (4K)

After the meeting, the top brass dispersed in all directions.

The Administrative Department went to receive the residents of the Bottom Nest and arrange housing for them, while also checking whether there might be spies from the Different Race among them.

The Defense Force, meanwhile, was dispatching personnel to assemble at the Bottom Nest in preparation for an offensive against the Beastmen forces.

Li Changhe and the Military Industry Minister left the conference room and were in the corridor.

The Military Industry Minister spoke up, "I heard your fleet has already engaged in battle with the Plague Legion."

"Yes," Li Changhe responded. Among his friends, Moon God had already notified Li Changhe.

A few hours earlier, the fleet had finally located the Plague Legion.

And they immediately launched an assault on the Plague Legion.

The initial stages of the battle went well, with the warships’ artillery fire disorienting the Plague Legion.

Just as the ground forces were landing, ready to charge and eradicate the remnants hiding in the deserted cities,

unexpected enemies appeared... the battle cruisers of the Plague Legion!

Previous intelligence did not reveal the presence of Chaos’s fleet, resulting in the human champion fleet suffering certain losses the moment the enemy’s fleet appeared.

Although the Chaos fleet didn’t have the kilometers-long colossal flagships like the Dictator number, they still had a considerable number of cruisers and even more small-sized escort warships.

The battle raged fiercely in the sky, and on the ground, the Plague Legion counterattacked the ground forces.

The current battle situation was very tense. But with Moon God and the human Demon armies there, exterminating the Plague Legion was only a matter of time.

Especially the Seahorse President, his summoning of divine creatures was very effective at destroying the enemy’s aerial strength.

"Even if they eliminate the Plague Legion, they won’t be able to return to the giant city anytime soon, because there could be lingering plague viruses. Now that the Beastmen from the Bottom Nest have surfaced... The situation as it stands, it seems the enemy is dispersing our forces." The Military Industry Minister reminded, "They surely have a bigger conspiracy."

"I know," Li Changhe replied. "The City Lord must have seen this as well."

"Do you have any countermeasures?" the Military Industry Minister stopped walking, looking into Li Changhe’s eyes with a certain anticipation, "Even if you modestly say your strategic analysis isn’t strong, you must have taken some corresponding measures?"

The Military Industry Minister based this on the Supreme King.

Even though in the early stages of war, the Supreme King like Li Changhe personally took to the field to battle, his strategic commands after becoming the Supreme King were outstanding.

As Li Changhe, the Military Industry Minister held certain expectations.

Li Changhe pondered for a moment and, after ensuring no outsiders were nearby, silently nodded.

Indeed, Li Changhe had left behind some tricks before the fleet set off, some tricks that might turn the tide when necessary.

His command experience was lacking, but he knew.

The more cards he had that exceeded the enemy’s expectations, the higher his margin for error.

The greater the hope for victory.

He had simply left behind as many such cards as possible.

Seeing Li Changhe’s silent agreement, the Military Industry Minister then cheerfully took his arm and said with a light laugh, "It’s just like you, Li. You don’t have to tell me, lest my acting isn’t up to par and gives something away..."

She lavished praise on Li Changhe generously, but in truth, she was praising the reflection of herself she saw in him.

But looking at that familiar face, unusually praising him, Li Changhe found it somewhat peculiar.

After all, Chen Yu was usually freeloading off him, very impolite to Li Changhe.

When others were present, he’d at least speak up for him. When they were alone, all he asked was when they’d eat.

So, hearing praise from her mouth was truly surprising.

Of course, it also felt somewhat uncomfortable.

However, in the next second, the Military Industry Minister cried out in pain.

For, as she had taken Li Changhe’s arm, Chen Yu, with his faced covered by a cap to conceal his identity, appeared behind her and twisted her arm forcefully, causing the Military Industry Minister to let go in pain.

Then, Chen Yu stood between them, frowning at the Military Industry Minister and said, "Stop the touching, you hooligan woman! What are you doing with my face!?"

"Come on, look at my face and say it again. Woman what? Woman what?" The Military Industry Minister was in shock.

She couldn’t understand why a mere arm-in-arm was labeled as hooliganism.

Are you jealous? That must be it, jealousy!

Chen Yu, meanwhile, turned to Li Changhe, "Scarlet Crabapple and the others have already broken out of the Beastmen’s encirclement. It seems the Beastmen aren’t planning to attack immediately; instead, they are regrouping in the middle of the Bottom Nest."

"It’s understandable; they aim to divide our attention," Li Changhe replied. "Even if they don’t attack now, we still need to allocate forces to keep watch over them."

"Yes, but as things stand, the enemy still can’t overcome the giant city. Even if the Beastmen from the Bottom Nest and the Plague Legion from the wilderness both reached the giant city, it still wouldn’t fall. In terms of frontal strength, the giant city still has the upper hand. They definitely have some larger conspiracy." Chen Yu pondered, "But with the current intelligence, I haven’t seen any clues."

"Then we can only wait, wait for the enemy to reveal their hand," Li Changhe said. "And our response will be—"

Li Changhe’s view was that as long as he had enough cards in hand, there was always room for reversal.

An arrow not yet loosed is the most fearsome; when all the enemy’s forces are laid bare, that’s when your response is most effective.
