Jiang Feng said, "My idea may be a little radical, but I think the Assassin Temple could try changing its approach at this stage."
Xue Zhisheng, the Chief Elder of the Assassin Temple, brightened and hurriedly asked, "Please, Commander Jiang Feng, tell us what you have in mind."
Jiang Feng said, "Exorcist Pass has suffered such enormous losses over these two years of Holy War. Aside from the disparity in strength, one important reason is that the Assassin Temple hasn't made use of its advantages."
"Assassins excel at attacking, not defending. Having assassins defend the battlements is a waste of their talents. Of course, Exorcist Pass needs to be defended, but we can take other measures as well."
"I've seen more than ten Hero Level (Ninth Order) assassins in Exorcist Pass. A force like that could hold its own even against the Eight Great Demon Gods, let alone the mere five Demon Gods currently outside Exorcist Pass."
"We should play to the assassins' strengths, hunt down high-ranking demons, and wreak havoc in their camp. That would severely weaken the demons when they attack Exorcist Pass."
"Imagine if we could kill a few more Demon Gods. Both the strength and morale of the demon army would suffer a devastating blow. At that point, even a counterattack on the demon camp by the Assassin Temple wouldn't be out of the question."
Like Imperial Dragon Pass, both fortresses now had only five Demon Gods remaining outside their walls. Defending themselves was certainly no problem.
Defending alone meant passively taking a beating. Wouldn't sending out a strike team to weaken the enemy be the best tactic?
"Hahaha! Commander Jiang Feng, you took the words right out of my mouth." Xue Zhisheng laughed heartily, expressing his agreement.
